To succeed in our professional and personal lives it is important to strive to be our best every day. Realistically, some days we will do better than other days. As long as we continue to strive to do our best, however, we will continue to improve. This means that our “best” will continue to move upward. The …
It is easy to get frustrated with other people. They do not always think the way we do or do things the way we would. First, that does not mean that they are wrong. Rarely is there any one best way. What we do works for us. We can hope that what they do is …
This post is about the old-fashioned concept of 20/20 hindsight. Although it’s tempting to create a post with a play on words of how the year 2020 can provide us with 20/20 hindsight, I’m not going to do that. At least not now. Maybe later. Our vision on what we should have done is usually …

Last year was tough, in more ways than one. I don’t think anyone is going to forget 2020 for some time. It was also a year of great insights, however, at least for me. The events of 2020 gave me insights into other people and the world. They also gave me insights into myself. I …
In any situation, we have choices–emphasis on the plural. It bothers me when someone says that she did something because she did not have a choice. Wrong! At a minimum, there are always two choices. Do something or do nothing. There are always choices. There might only be one good choice out of a dozen bad choices, but …
One of my father’s favorite sayings was, “If you find that you have dug yourself into a hole, the very first thing you have to do is stop digging.” (I am not sure where he heard that, but I know I heard it from him frequently.) We all get ourselves into trouble sometimes. It may be …
