Your Own Personal Holodeck

February 17, 2020 by nextstep

Our future does not live in tomorrow. Our future is created today. Many of you will recall the TV series Star Trek, the Starship Enterprise and the “in the future” functions and equipment featured. Two of those features that stand out in my mind include the Transporter and the Holodeck. I’ll start with the Transporter. … [Read more…]

If We’re not Growing, We’re Dying

January 21, 2020 by nextstep

There is no life without growth. Growth is a natural part of life that is apparent all around us. The acorn falls to the ground and either grows into an oak, or it dies and decays among the other life-less debris of the forest. The newborn of any species or genre, which began its growth … [Read more…]

Be Authentic, Be Yourself

January 6, 2020 by nextstep

Anything that stands in the way of your integrity will eventually bring you down. If you feel that something isn’t right, there’s a reason for that feeling — it’s because it isn’t right. When you act against what you know to be true, what you know to be right for you, there is nothing of … [Read more…]

You are Not Your History

April 8, 2019 by nextstep

I’ve frequently uttered the words “You are not your history,” in service to my life-coaching clients, in my talks and seminars, and general discussion with those of us who are prone to insightfully examining our lives in hopes of making them better. My point was valid, in that despite our previous experiences, we can choose … [Read more…]

Anything is Possible

January 28, 2019 by nextstep Leave a Comment

The impossible is merely something anyone has not done until someone does it. Studies show that the best time to teach an earthworm tricks is shortly before midnight. (Paul Stirling Hagerman, It’s a Weird World). I’ll say first-off, that if you’re staying up until just before midnight teaching an earthwork tricks – I offer life coaching and … [Read more…]

Are You Singing the Blues?

January 20, 2018 by nextstep 188 Comments

I think we all sing the blues – we just don’t want to make them our life’s songs. When I think of the blues I think of life’s dramas, not big dramas. The blues don’t deal with world problems – they deal with the problems associated with living in the world – and the daily … [Read more…]

A Response to Terrorism

November 19, 2017 by nextstep 3 Comments

I’m unable to recall a time when I’ve been so intensely and intuitively called to write words on a subject, while at the same time feeling deeply incapable of cogently expressing my thoughts on it. I feel confused. When those horrific, gut wrenching, mass killings occur that we nowadays label as terrorism, I am initially … [Read more…]
