I have previously written about Landmark Education, first in an article in which I describe my initial reaction to being introduced to the Landmark Forum, and then shortly thereafter I wrote a piece in which I enthusiastically described what an amazing experience I found the Landmark Forum to be. I [...]
As human beings we are expert procrastinators and excuse makers. We will find nearly any reason to put things off. And we make those reasons sound really good. We will dress them up in clever language that let’s us convince ourselves (and others, if we possibly can) that it’s really [...]
I recently made the decision to rekindle my interest in art, more specifically, drawing with coloured pencils. As a result I found myself sorting through some old art supplies which had been in storage. As I was flipping through the pages of one of my sketch books, three pages fell [...]
As I was putting around the house this morning I suddenly had the old saying, “it’s a labour of love” running through my mind. They kept popping up over and over, and I kept shrugging them off as just another random thought. It’s been a long week, and I have [...]
These days it seems that tolerance has become *the* most critical of all virtues. We are expected to tolerate everything, and if we don’t then it is a virtual guarantee that we will find ourselves on the receiving end of some harsh criticism by the politically correct crowd. But is [...]
I have been hard at work lately. Not only have I been hard at work writing new content for In The Limelight, I have also given it it’s most dramatic facelift ever, and fine tuned other elements of the site that you may or may not have noticed. However, by [...]
Some people will tell you that failure is a good thing because that is how we learn. I disagree. A failure may well lead us towards learning something, but that does not mean that failure is how we learn, only that it is possible to fail and still learn something. [...]
As a writer, I have no shortage of ideas. I know that might seem like an odd thing to say. You might be thinking I must be the luckiest writer in the world to have such an abundance of things to write about. After all, isn’t writers’ block the bane [...]
Some time ago I wrote an article extremely critical of the so called Miracles Coaching of by Joe Vitale. If you are unfamiliar with Joe, he is the author of numerous books (too many to mention, according the the author himself) in the new age spiritual/law of attraction genre. Some [...]
Can you trust your brain? It’s a more important question than you might think, and more importantly if you think you can out-think your brain, you are probably greatly mistaken. Say what??? Out-think your brain? That’s crazy talk isn’t it? Well yes. On the surface that seems like a silly [...]
I have just finished reading the most refreshing business book I have ever come across. It’s called Rework, and it is truly unique. It the rebellious step child of business books. It breaks all the rules and it encourages you to break them too. It makes radical recommendations, like telling [...]
Recently I was rear ended. It was quite severe, as far as rear ender car accidents go. Bad enough that my car will likely be written off. Bad enough that I could not drive it from the scene of the accident. And bad enough that they did send an ambulance [...]
Is there anyone who has not had someone say to them the following words? “Well that’s not how I would do it” For some reason, I seriously doubt it. As humans, we all seem rather firmly convinced of our own superior knowledge of how to do things. For most of [...]
I have a confession to make: I am a cheater. At typing that is. All through typing class in elementary school I cheated. I simply did not have the patience to learn touch typing back then. I was all about instant gratification. It worked out well for me. I became [...]
One of the most exceptionally wonderful experiences of my life was attending the Landmark Forum. When I say it changed my life forever, I mean it, and I do not say so lightly. I was so enthusiastic about my experience that I could not have resisted writing about it here [...]
Warning: This post may offend some readers. If you think it might offend you, then you’re probably right. “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And [...]
It has been some time since I have felt inclined to do any writing. It is not that I have not had inspiration, or been lacking in things to write about, it’s just that I have been too busy doing to spend time writing about doing. Indeed, my life has [...]
A few days ago I posted the shortest blog post ever posted on In The Limelight. In that post I stated very simply that this blog is inauthentic. Or more correctly, in the past it has been inauthentic. I promised an forthcoming explanation, and that is what this article is [...]
It has been more than one month since I last wrote and article for this blog. That is a very long time in the world off the internet, and it has had a couple of consequences. The most visible is that my RSS subscribers have dropped off, back to about [...]
Some time ago, long enough that I can’t remember exactly, but close to a year, a good friend of mine invited me out to a seminar on a Tuesday evening. He didn’t tell me what it was, only that he thought I would really enjoy it, and that he would [...]
