You fake it ‘til you make it. You travel far and wide! But let me ask you this: Do you feel successful? Truly, fully, mind-contentedly successful? Of course you don’t. If you did, you wouldn’t be here. And let’s face it, if it was really that easy - if everyone was doing it - you wouldn’t need me. No one

Any of this ringing any bells? Chances are you've had this feeling before. And not just after the holiday season. My guess is it's happened to you repeatedly. Anytime you build

It's here again. That time of year when you've run out of...well... Year! Where did the time go? How did another entire year just slip away in the blink of an eye? And more importantly, how did you not make good on that laundry list of resolutions? Why are you still in that job, that car, that house, those pants?

Last week I talked about how to deal with those rude, obnoxious people you've undoubtedly been encountering in spades this holiday season. Bad drivers, selfish shoppers, lazy, incompetent customer service people...and the list goes on.
