Motivation

   Imagine a dark hooded appearance carrying a trunk up  to the door of your house and says, “I come to present  you with this trunk full of difficulties. Inside you will  find health problems, financial problems, love  problems and many other problems may I go in? “.  What would you do? Surely, you would [...]

   I went to rent a movie at a video store that is next to my house. After digging for a while I decided to take the romantic comedy “He’s just Not That Into You.” In Spanish is called “A el no le Gustas Tanto.” Every woman who belongs to the club of single women can [...]

At the start of a seminar I was leading, I said to the  audience, “Everybody who likes feeling inferior to  other people, raise your hands!” The room was silent as  everyone nervously glanced around. Not one person  raised their hand, since obviously nobody enjoys f  feeling inferior! Humans have a very strong desire to be [...]

   What was the last thing you lost? Perhaps it was your  wallet, your cell phone, your glasses, your pet or a  piece of jewelry. If it was worth a lot or had a  sentimental value, you probably felt mad, sad,  exasperated, or even cried. Without a doubt you were  upset with yourself for your [...]

When I was little I was chubby, and there was  nothing that infuriated me more than my brother’s  nicknames to poke fun at me. Some of his favorites  were: “chubalot,” “porky pig” and “cow.” But out of  all of them, the one that made me the maddest was  “fridge.” According to him I was as [...]

  The fragrance that winners have can’t be purchased in any department store. It’s a product of your  attitude,  your thoughts and actions, which release  the essence  of yourself. I have a close friend who I adore. She’s loyal, caring and knows how to listen. Every time we get together I tell her, “When I’m with [...]

 I drove around the shopping center’s parking lot for  fifteen whole minutes searching in vain for an available  space until, finally, I spotted a woman walking toward  her car. I followed her and patiently waited as she put  all her shopping bags into her red truck. Her tail lights finally lit up, indicating she was [...]

  In my years as a motivational speaker, I’ve  discovered how enterprising and ambitious we  women are. When I ask women what their  professional goals are, the vast majority say: “I’d love  to have my own business,” “I want to be my own  boss,” “I wish I were independent.” Even though we have a great [...]

Ever since I was little, I’ve heard that popular saying,  “happiness is within you.” One day, I gazed into the  mirror, looked myself up and down, and wondered,  “But, where is it? All that’s inside of me is bones,  organs, fatty tissue and blood!” Years later, I discovered that internal spot where happiness can be [...]

 What makes a successful woman? Success is a very  difficult concept to define, as is love, because it’s  subjective. Each person will give it his or her own  meaning. For an actress, success is winning an  Oscar. For an overweight woman, it is losing  weight. For a mountain climber, it’s reaching the top  of Mount Everest, and for a [...]
