In these articles, I often write about the challenges that we face as we create our legacy. I want to talk about another such roadblock today. It's something that we all encounter – something that is, in certain contexts, naturally important, but in others can be extremely harmful. Much of the time, people just aren't aware of when they're being harmed by this menace. But each of you will discover its place in your life as soon as you do the foundational personal work that is necessary to reach your ultimate goals. I'm talking about judgment.

Effective communication is generally not something that we're taught as children or adults, and it's very hard to master. By the time most of us have an interest in learning to communicate better, we find that we're very heavily programmed by our upbringing and our culture, both of which tend to be imbued with ineffective communication techniques. In this article, I offer a simple system that anyone can use to overcome common communication challenges.

Trade journals, exercise and bodybuilding magazines are bulging at the seams with ads for whey protein powders. Many of them tout amazing improvements in everything from strength, endurance, muscle size, energy levels, and even improved immune system function. Are these whey protein powders all they are cracked up to be?

Well, as I will show you, it all depends on which whey you look at it.

Open and honest communication is a cornerstone of any healthy relationship, but effective communication can only take place if both partners are able hear what the other is saying.

The discovery of your legacy can be one of the most thrilling and life-changing experiences you’ll have in your life. The vision of your life’s dream can provide you with an energy and drive that you may never have felt before, and this in itself can give you quite a buzz. But there’s a danger here, especially if you’ve never really felt this kind of motivation. It’s very easy to allow this drive to overcome your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs. When this happens you’ll find that the initial rush of energy from your legacy won’t sustain you for long. In that vein, it’s important to go back and remind ourselves of the basics of self-management and that’s what I want to do here today.

For many of us in the United States, this is a rough time of year economically. This year in particular, though, has been particularly tough financially here.

Just as your physical core is composed of your axial skeleton and its constituents, your psychological core is composed of your values. Your core values represent what you are willing to live for and die for.
