Relationship Reboot

Every couple of years I take a week to look at my own life to reassess what is working and what isn’t.  I then compare what I am doing to what I say that I want do.   Sometimes the comparison highlights the areas that need adjustment.   This time I have traced where I am back to the relationships that I created.  I use the word created because relationships don’t just happen for me.  Of course, there is conscious creation and unconscious creation.

Who You Love is a Product of What You Think

You can’t choose who you love…because it’s dependent on how you think.  Yeah, I am making not so subtle allusions to the Law of Attraction theme.  If you don’t subscribe to the idea, move on to the next blog.  Hard facts…the average person has at least 4 major relationships before they make that final commitment.  Well, final is relative, right?

Even before you say I do, you have an ideal person that you think will make all of your dreams come true.  Then you measure each date against that mental yardstick, tossing away those that don’t measure up, but it is your thoughts that draws in the pool of applicants.

Does Anyone Enjoy The Single Life?

How to Be Single is due out on February 12, just in time for Valentine's Day.  I cannot wait!  That made me curious, though.  How many books out there focus on the single life?

Actually, there are quite a few!  I found one that is pretty good, titled Single: The Art of Being Satisfied, Fulfilled and Independent by Judy Ford.  First off, I love the title.  It sums the book up in a few words AND provides a new definition for 'single' at the same time.   

Value is Subjective

Todoy, I would like to welcome David Rosenberg back!  

Just over fifty years ago (July 1965), the Rolling Stones had their first number one hit (I Can't Get No) “Satisfaction.”  The Stones iconic front man, Mick Jagger, was perhaps more well-known for his very distinctive dance moves rather than his lyrics.  Regardless of whether you think he was a good dancer or not, Mick Jagger definitely showed SATISFACTION in his moves.

You too should GET satisfaction with your spending. Have you ever caught someone (who usually doesn’t dance) dancing wildly because of the rhythm of the music moved them to do so?  Didn’t they look satisfied (at least until they realized you were watching)?  This is what we call utility value. And it’s a VERY subjective thing!
