Understanding and Honoring Cultural Differences
As the United States deals with other countries in matters of trade, peace-conflict, environment, and/or any of the other hundreds of issues we may have to discuss, I believe that it’s important for us to take a learned look at the culture, customs, values, and potential mindsets of each of the other countries we’re dealing with. Without that learned approach, we can unintentionally sabotage our opportunities for success in whatever issue we’re currently dealing with. Read more »
Make a difference in someone’s life – An example

Something to think about…..
The Measure of a Person, Government, and Society
Balance, from my point of view, is essential for a healthy life. As I learned in my early life, too much of a good thing is a bad thing. Or, to put it in other terms – Any strength, overused, becomes a weakness. To be healthy in my life, I believe that there are times and events in life that call for tough decisive action; times and events that require patience, exactness and precision; times and events that call on my ability to relate effectively and compassionately to others on a one to one basis; and times that call on my ability to address and interact with groups of people effectively. To the extent that I am unable to be effective at any of those skills, I will be ineffective in some life situations. To the extent that I overuse one of those skills to the detriment of another, I am ineffective. I value someone who respects me enough to take the time and energy to present me with a balanced view of any given situation. Read more »
About
I decided to put this page together at the urging of friends. Several of them were encouraging me to do this, as they were sure that my words were needed to help counteract all of the negativity out there. I’m not a pollyanna. I understand the problems of the world. I also understand that most of our problems are of our own making, and that the only way for any of us to solve our problems is to start exactly where we are, and solve what we can. We made the problems. We can solve them.
I know we cannot improve our lives by being negative. I know we cannot create what we want by fighting what we don’t want. It just doesn’t work that way, though the nightly news is full of people who are determined to do so using just that method. The only way out is to find a path of cooperation, Love, and compassion. This Blog is written so we can find a way to do just that. I hope you join me.
I work as a Life Coach at GLORIUS LIFE Coaching. If you are interested in Life Coaching Services, you can find more information about the services we provide at www.gloriuslife.com.
