- The Power of Thanks - by Submitted on May 12, 2010 from Stuart RosenGracias… Danke… Merci… Thanks. It’s not HOW you say it, but THAT you say it, that changes everything. Gratitude has the power to bind and to build… and if you’ve ever had someone actually thank you, you’ve felt its power. “Thank you” isn’t just something that comes with “have a nice day” ...
Views: 1628(2 votes) - Words as Barriers - by Submitted on Apr 01, 2010 from Stuart RosenWords are very powerful, not just for the conveyance of ideas, and communication, but as a way to manifest ideas into reality. They have an energy that can attract or repel people and events, causing you to gain, or lose, what you desire. The words you choose is a major part of the action ...
Views: 1542(2 votes) - It's the Little Things... - by Submitted on Feb 23, 2010 from Stuart RosenEven the mightiest of oaks starts as the tiniest of acorns. Neither one is greater than the other; they're just merely different forms of the same thing. And yet, we often look around our lives and see things from only today's perspective. We look up at the oak, but down at the acorn. Sometimes ...
Views: 1491(5 votes) - Building Hope - by Submitted on Feb 12, 2010 from Stuart RosenHope is one of those things that shows up in the oddest places; at the oddest times. It can be found where you would imagine only despair to reign… and it can be missing from places where you think it would be in abundance. Without it, lives are lost; dreams are destroyed. Fortunately, HOPE ...
Views: 1788(1 vote) - Simply Amazing - by Submitted on Feb 05, 2010 from Stuart RosenLife finds its simplest form, however complex Life can seem every complex at times. Pieces just don't seem to fit. People don't see eye-to-eye. Heck, sometimes we don't even see ourselves eye-to-eye. It's just that we get lost in the details all too often… and that's what's complex; not the ...
Views: 1504(2 votes) - The Price of Wrong - by Submitted on Aug 16, 2008 from Stuart Rosen“There’s never enough time to do it right, but always time to do it over,” so the old saying goes. Yet when it comes to doing something wrong, there’s more than just time and money at stake. “Wrong” comes with a much higher price tag than we might ...
Views: 1302 - The Pieces Of Peace - by Submitted on Dec 20, 2007 from Stuart RosenPeace is not about winning a war. Nor is it about avoiding war. It's not about freeing the oppressed, nor ignoring the Oppressed's cries for help. Those things, while noble in effort, are not "Peace." Peace is a frame of mind. It is a way of life. It has its own rules that must be actively ...
Views: 1472 - The Greatest Present - by Submitted on Dec 18, 2007 from Stuart RosenTis the season of holiday cheer and, most noticeably, gifts-gifts-gifts. I think Christmas decorations started showing up in stores in September, didn’t they? As the season becomes more and more about fourth quarter earnings and over-hyped consumerism, more and more people are seeing the ...
Views: 1532 - Mani-MESS-tation - by Submitted on Feb 11, 2007 from Stuart RosenOK, so you bought your copy of The Secret, you watched it diligently and you started your visualization. Life is good. Then all of a sudden – bam! A downward spiral kicks in, everything goes wrong and you're right in the middle of a total mess. You're not sure what happened, but you ...
Views: 1563 - The Second Step - by Submitted on Dec 07, 2006 from Stuart RosenEveryone acknowledges the importance of that first step. Volumes of books are written on the subject. Empires are built upon them. But there is another moment, that is just as important; if not more so. It’s that second step. The second step not only defines our direction, but also the pace, ...
Views: 1659 - Be at Peace - by Submitted on Nov 16, 2006 from Stuart RosenWar and peace are on the minds of a lot of people these days. The thoughts of conflict creeps into our minds and infests our daily lives. Peace is interrupted. Yet peace is one of the top things that we strive for the most. So where is it? To have peace you must be at peace; at peace within ...
Views: 1002 - Dealing with Unfinished Business - by Submitted on Nov 02, 2006 from Stuart Rosen"Mind your own business" has gotten a bad rap over the years. Most people use it to mean "butt out!" but really, if we spend more time minding our own business, just imagine how much further we can get in Life. What is unfinished? We need to ask ourselves, 'What one thing would I really ...
Views: 1404 - The Magical A-Ha Moment - by Submitted on Sep 23, 2006 from Stuart Rosen"Aha!", "Eureka!", "What-da-ya-know"... or just plain "hmmm." Whatever we call it, it’s that single, magical moment when things just make sense; when that block that seemed to confuse and confound us suddenly seems small and insignificant. There’s that sudden rush of excitement, filled with ...
Views: 997 - the Power of Pause - by Submitted on Nov 09, 2005 from Stuart RosenIn this world of go-go-go, we've lost the valuable time between our moments. It's easy to become overloaded, overwhelmed and overworked. We don't really live in the moments, but rather in between... and if we don't take the time to pause, we'll never really take the time to live. CATCH OUR ...

Views: 904 - The Price of Bliss - by Submitted on Nov 13, 2004 from Stuart RosenBliss is freeing, but it is never free. There is a lot we have to pay, and even more we have to give up, if we're ever truly going to achieve our bliss.. Give up Complacency When we’re young, we only care about our passions. We have nothing to lose, so we constantly take risks. Yet as we get ...
Views: 969 - Don't Speed on the Learning Curve - by Submitted on Sep 03, 2004 from Stuart RosenLife is full of lessons, and those lessons take time to "get." Sometimes we're so distracted by everything else that we don't get it for quite some time. It's not really a problem, as long as we understand that. Unfortunately, it often comes with a lack of patience too. We've become such a Now ...
