 When we think of the word “quotient” we think of intelligence or emotional quotient. Right now I’m talking about your Overall Life Satisfaction quotient, your OLS? I’m talking about how to limit stress and make your day more fun and fulfilling.
Read this paragraph and do what is suggested fast. Do this really, really fast. Think about the word amazing. Now, on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best; 1 being pretty bleak) rate your OLS. Is your life “amazing”? Do this without giving it much thought. Just rate yourself in a few seconds. Now go down the following list and do the same. Write down the number that comes to mind first:

 Divorce It is so exciting to see educators in other fields acknowledging the power of patterns in behavior repetition from parents to children. This article is excellent and will give room for discussion about why it is so important to complete patterns from the past so they do not have to be repeated on an unconscious level.

 Looking for Love Since I began doing leadership coaching with Jon Gosselin, I have become more sensitized to the role of “celebrity” in our culture. It creates both the addiction to being known and noticed all the time, and increases the dark side of depression and disappointment when the lights stop flashing.

 Last week the buzz about Jon Gosselin participating in our Total Leadership Connections program was over the top. The fact that I am presently outlining a yet to be names book with him drew lots of attention.
Jon and I talked about what the pull is to check out his every move. I became intrigues with the types of media comments from folks who picked up the initial article and put their own spin to it.

 I am fascinated by the fact that there are so many words being written on the web, and yet, there are so few real questions being asked. Yesterday I was fortunate to talk with a reporter from TodayShow.com and what a difference!
We had a dialogue! Now, that is not something busy people do anymore. Dialogue is not debate. Debate is when there is a winner and a loser. It was not just plain conversation. Conversation is more about how the hot weather is bothering, or not bothering you, how the folks are, with an answer of “Fine thanks”. It is not even discussion. Discussion gathers points of view and bundles them into groups.

 Why do we do the same things over and over and expect different results? Einstein called this the definition of insanity!
I was deeply saddened to see that Lindsey Lohan is going the route that leads to a dead end path. Better if she could be helped to get to the root of what is driving her. It will not happen in jail or in traditional rehab. Her father Michael went that route and, as he said on Larry King Live, it didn’t get to the root of his personal issues.

 This is a time to really, really look at the meaning of success, of relationship, and in honor of the Fourth of July, of freedom.
Please go to Examiner.com where I am a writer and check out the blog I did about Jon Gosselin who is in our Total leadership Connections program. Jon lives in Pa. and has been on the reality series “Jon and Kate Plus Eight” where we all had the opportunity to watch sextuplet and twin Gosselins grow and flourish.

 Hey, take a minute and look in the mirror. Not to judge, just to look. Now, what do you see?
Most of us will start with what is wrong. Sad but true. We live in a sort and judge, sort and judge world. We come from a fix and hide, fix and hide society. Think about teeth; how white is white enough? Why should teeth be super white anyway?

 I must really be getting old! I remember when tornadoes were only meant to happen in Kansas. In past years most of us watched “The Wizard of Oz” and went along with Dorothy on her journey, yet it was just a story, right?
While tornadoes indicate sudden change and danger they were “out there” in pockets of the country. They were meant to be in Kansas, not Connecticut. Well, not until this week anyway.
