So many talk about New Year's resolutions. It would appear that somehow that became the norm. However if you look at the statistics, you would see that New Year's resolutions don't work for most. We think there is a better way. Resolutions are a real pain, but New Year's themes are a real gain. We will talk about more differences between Yearly themes and New Year's resolutions and show you how to get one for yourself.

Christmas is a time to believe. Belief and imagination is what makes it so magical and wonderful. It's also a time for children, which is fitting because children tend to believe a lot more than adults do—probably because imagination is highly underrated by many. It's OK for children to imagine and believe, but at some point those same children are told to "grow up", face reality and stop being gullible. Well, we don't believe that lack of belief represents maturity in the least. There is a big ...

To aim for the goal of having the perfect holidays or the best Christmas ever, is to set one up for a Noel nightmare. Unfortunately for many, the Merry of Christmas comes around only once or twice for the holidays and then for only a moment or two. We just need to listen to what the Godfather of Soul - James Brown, says about making Christmas meaningful. It is something we must make. If we just let it happen it won't—we must MAKE it happen. Listen and find out how to make your Christmas Merry an...

Sometimes the reason we struggle with living Happy is as simple as who or what we put on our dance cards. If what we "dance" with causes despair, anger, anxiety etc., we should dance with something else. The good news is, no matter who or what we've danced with, or are currently dancing with, we can always save the last dance for that Happy and positive choice. In fact, why wait for the last dance? Maybe it's time to switch dance partners now. Remember what brought you joy in the first place, an...

Just what does it mean to win? There are a lot of views out there on what winning is. Unfortunately, some of them are skewed. Whether we win or not depends on many things, but none more important than what we believe winning is. Here are some quotes about winning we use in this episode. We thought you might like them written down to copy or share. They're some of the good ones when it comes to winning. “Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is.” - Vince Lombardi “You are always a winner. ...

Do you like to win? If you do, you should listen to this, because how we view winning can oftentimes affect our winning. It's Olympics time, and The Olympic Games are the epitome of competition and winning. The Father of the Modern Day Olympic Games - Pierre De Coubertin, said, "The most important thing in The Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well." I love that quote. I also love the way Coubertin tied it into regular life, ...

When you ask someone how they are doing and they respond with, "I can't complain," I don't know if I believe them. I mean there is always something to complain about right? However, when we do complain, we shut off the solutions to life's situations. It's true, we can complain, but we don't need to. Sometimes being Happy is only a matter of choosing. Here's a great lesson we can learn from... Metallica??? Really? Yes, really! The song we used in this episode was "Nothing Else Matters" by Metalli...
