Is “Overthinking” A Myth?

Posted on March 3, 2009 by D3 Support

Emotions Are A Choice

Posted on February 28, 2009 by D3 Support

You can choose what you feel. How so? Because your feelings come from your thinking. If you only think about negative things, you’ll only feel negative. If you think in a more balanced way, you’ll feel more balanced. If the … Continue reading →

Self-Awareness is No Luxury

Posted on February 27, 2009 by D3 Support

“Why do I act irrationally?” This is a general question, to which there is a general answer: “I’m operating on a wrong premise.” The task of introspection is to discover the wrong premise upon which you’re operating. It’s these “silent” … Continue reading →

Coping in the Pursuit of Happiness

Posted on February 26, 2009 by D3 Support

How to cope with bad news? It’s all around us, I know. But what’s GOOD? Is nothing good in your life? For a lot of people the answer is, “Much is good in my life.” My advice, then, is spending … Continue reading →

What Real Leaders Do (and Don’t Do)

Posted on February 25, 2009 by D3 Support

The best way to inspire hope in another is to show how the use of his or her own mind is efficacious, powerful and valuable. True leaders inspire individualism, not dependence. The kind of leaders to avoid are the ones … Continue reading →

Government, Step Aside!

Posted on February 24, 2009 by D3 Support

Why the Strong Don’t Repress Emotions

Posted on February 23, 2009 by D3 Support

Being strong doesn’t mean hiding from, or repressing, your feelings. To run from something is not a sign of strength. At the same time, wallowing in–or being overcome by–your emotions is not an indication of strength, either. Strength comes from … Continue reading →

Wow–The Era of Big Government Really IS Over!

Posted on February 22, 2009 by D3 Support

I read that California’s state government is so bankrupt that it may go into federal receivership, with the U.S. government bailing it out. This will be a first in American history. California’s politicians act as if they are victims of … Continue reading →

Relative or Objective?

Posted on February 21, 2009 by D3 Support

Are things relative — or objective? My answer: Both. Here’s why. Imagine you and I are in a room together. We’re both looking at a lamp in the corner. I’m viewing it from the left corner, and you’re viewing it … Continue reading →

Sticks, Stones and Self-Esteem

Posted on February 19, 2009 by D3 Support

“Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me.” There’s truth to this old saying. You can choose to accept another’s criticism as true, or false. You can thank them if it’s true, and ignore them–or … Continue reading →
