1). Don't Wait for Hurricane Season to Find the True Meaning of Life By : Vickie Milazzo
As the hurricane season looms and I think about the tragedy and devastation of the 2005 hurricane season, I can’t help but realize how much we take for granted. It’s easy to appreciate life when things are going great. And as the distance of time separates me from the last hurricane season, I realize how easy it is to stop appreciating the simple and most important things in life – a drink of water, my husband’s smile.

2). Ditch Clutter to Tune In Your Intuitive Vision By : Vickie Milazzo

Soon our senses become dulled and our vision turns lusterless. How can a person connect with their intuitive vision and goals while being constantly bombarded by thousands of outside messages? Vision is essential to success.

6). What Was Albert Einstein Thinking? By : Vickie Milazzo
Albert Einstein once said, “You can’t solve a problem with the same mind that created it.” To solve a problem you’ve obviously helped to create, you need to start with a new and fresh mind. For example, a woman thinks, “If I can change my job, my life will be better.” Possibly. But life doesn’t usually work that way. That woman is likely doing and thinking the same thoughts as always.

8). You Have to Be First at the River to Get a Drink By : Vickie Milazzo
While on vacation in the Serengeti Plains of Africa, I sat on a riverbank for three hours watching a herd of wildebeest (or gnu) build up the courage to drink from the water. This herd was part of the Great Migration that happens like clockwork every summer. More than 1,000,000 wildebeest move northward from the arid Serengeti into the wetlands of the Masai Mara.

9). What, Only One Day a Year for Mom? By : Vickie Milazzo
What is it about Mother’s Day that you love so much? Do you love the fact that your husband and child join forces to prepare breakfast in bed for you? Or is it that your husband acknowledges what a great mom you are? Or simply that this day is not like every other when you collapse into bed as limp as an overused sponge and wonder, “How long can I keep up this mad pace?” Today’s mom is so busy doing it all that she rarely has the time to enjoy life’s greatest gift, her family.

10). Can You Remove Your Own Burrs? By : Vickie Milazzo
On a trip to Africa I went hiking with my friend, Colin, on his ranch in Kenya. The trail varied between rock and brush. Colin's dog, Uzuri, came with us, sometimes running ahead of us, sometimes following behind, but almost never on the trail. Well into the hike we encountered a section of trail infested with burrs. Soon Uzuri came up next to me. She was limping on three legs, obviously having picked up a burr.

Whether you are a beginner just starting your career or a tenured executive with many years of success, the key to achieving BIG is breaking the "feel-good" addiction.
