Starting over is a scary prospect. Our human nature wants to move forward, one foot in front of the other and off we go. We want to blaze trails. We want to climb mountains. We want to sail the seas. We want to fly the skies. And we intend to climb up not down the ladders in our careers and move up not down the financial scale in society.
So by nature, starting over does not appeal to any of us. Least of all to me! I should know, even though I was spared the brunt of the situation because I was just a kid. My Dad was 40 and my mom in her early 30s when we left Iran for an initial 2-week vacation to Turkey that turned out to be a “vacation” of a lifetime. My parents left everything behind. When they closed the door to our beloved sweet home at 13 Lida Street in Tehran, [Read more…] about Starting Over: It Is Not Too Late for A New Career
“Stay hungry, stay foolish.”
Steve Jobs
For as long as I can remember, I have been hungry and restless.
And seeing how it is human nature not to like your own “nature”, no pun intended, I have been deeply envious of those who are the opposite of this: grounded, settled, relaxed, content, and at peace with the process of life.
But maybe, just maybe, restless and hungry are conditions from which we all suffer silently in the windmills of our minds and in the sanctum of our hearts.

How did I manage to quiet the constant chatter of those fears and insecurities and trade them in for the honesty, the inner peace and the true strength that is confidence.
If my confidence were a character in a play, it’d be Katherina, the headstrong, obdurate shrew in Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, …. except without the taming. My confidence is wild, indomitable, obstinate, and now that I have set it free, it will not take no for an answer!

In my lovely Iranian culture, where the power of positive thinking and inner peace hardly makes an appearance, I grew up seeing the terrible impact of this mindset around me all the time: Some people were apparently born lucky and others, well, not so lucky.
“We are each responsible for all of our experiences.”
Louise Hay
I would hear grown ups talk about how “lucky” this person is and how sadly this other person’s life turned out. How someone ended up with their own company or rich by marriage and oh how it was always about “luck”!
It was really scary to think of myself tossed into the well of life and swished around uncontrollably as I waited with baited breath to see if life spits me out as lucky or unlucky. “Oh God, please let me be the “lucky” kind.” I would beg in my childhood prayers, “I don’t like the stuff they say about the “unlucky” ones!” [Read more…] about The Power of Positive Thinking: 22 Thoughts to Change Your Life
