07.27.08The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (1. Private Victory)Photo based on Powderruns Suppose you were to come upon someone in the woods working feverishly to saw down a tree. “What are you doing?” you ask. “Can’t you see?” comes the impatient reply. “I’m sawing down this tree.” “You look exhausted!” you exclaim. “How long have you been at it?” “Over five hours,” he returns, “and I’m beat!

07.03.08Free Yourself: How to Change Self-Limiting BeliefsPhoto courtesy of Powderruns "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." - Wayne Dyer How to get out of our own way Most of the time we are our greatest enemy.
