It will happen later. His best friend will ask you out instead. You’ll be kissed in the movies instead of on a beach. You’ll end up going to a different school because the one you thought you’d get into didn’t work out.

6 Tips For The Roller Coaster Ride Of Life
Melanie Bates, December 19, 2011
You know, when I was nineteen, Grandpa took me on a roller coaster. . . Up, down. Up, down. Oh, what a ride! I always wanted to go again. You know, it was just interesting to me that a ride could make me so. . . so frightened. So scared. So sick. So excited and so thrilled all together! Some didn’t like it. They went on the merry-go-round. That just goes around. Nothing. ~ Grams on Parenthood.

Laura Fenamore, September 5, 2011
I was a compulsive eater out of my mother’s womb. The youngest of eight children in an abusive home, and I used food to feel safe. I overate every day, hated myself for it, and yet could not stop.

How To Choose Freedom Over Fear
Lissa Rankin, August 25, 2011
I spent most of my life being afraid—afraid of failure, afraid of success, afraid of what people might think, afraid of change, but also afraid of horror movies, rollercoasters, big cities, dark alleys, travel, and the boogey man. My mind could invent worst-case scenarios like Hollywood’s best screenwriter, and I’d watch those movies in my mind in such vivid detail that they felt real—and paralyzed me.

Consider The Acorn: Change, Potential, and the Ability To Receive
April Sweazy, June 3, 2011
Something big is afoot. I’ve been saying it all year. The minute 2011 trumpeted its way in, I knew. I could just feel it. Change was in the air.
And I was not happy about it.
So I crossed my arms and shook my head and said, “Sorry Change, go knock on someone else's door, I’m not having it,” and closed the door on Change to continue with my comfortable -- and safe -- little routine. Meanwhile, Change pitched a tent out in my front yard and taunted me from a distance. I would peer at it through the curtains, but refused to engage it in any way -- and we danced around each other in this manner for quite awhile.
Then I made my mistake (which actually wasn’t a mistake at all).

Lissa Rankin, March 21, 2011
When you’re in transition, you may feel very, very uncomfortable. Whether you’ve lost or left a job, become a new mother, buried a loved one, divorced a spouse, found yourself with an empty nest, or been diagnosed with an illness, you’re likely to find yourself feeling constricted, at least at first.
You gut feels tight. Your heart hurts. You curl into a ball. You shrink. It’s like a mini-death.

How To Avoid The Biggest Source Of Business Stress
Guest Author, January 12, 2011
Please welcome the extraordinary Marie Forleo, kick-ass entrepreneur, marketing strategist, coach, and business woman, here to tell us how to live Rich, Happy, & Hot. Lissa and I both went nutso over this article on how to curb that mojo-killing business stress--enjoy (and take notes)! Thanks Marie!
Yesterday, I was on the phone with a game changer. She’s an author, speaker and long-time activist. She’s attracted high profile supporters to endorse her work, and is about to launch full tilt into a book promo tour.
She called to get my insight on business strategy. Specifically, she wanted ideas to help her organization make more money. So far, so good.
As she told me everything she had going on, a small knot began to form in my stomach. Why?
Because I recognized a deadly addiction in her, that I’ve seen in many entrepreneurs, including myself.
It’s the addiction to too many damn projects. And more specifically, the addiction to too many damn unfinished projects that aren’t making money.

Year Of The Tiger: Who Is Your Tigger?
Karen Reynolds, January 11, 2011
We are in the final few months of the Chinese Horoscope’s Metal Tiger year. As an acupuncturist in Mill Valley, the flow of energy and Qi is a pivotal focus in my life both personally and professionally. This year of the Metal Tiger held the portent of upheaval and of grand scale, sometimes-painful change. However within that forecast of some chaos, the big cat’s term held the seed of passage, which healed and expanded heretofore unresolved issues. Such instances reflect the discerning logic of the Element of Metal within the athletic boundings of the Tiger.

Don't Go Changin'
Danielle LaPorte, January 1, 2011
Human beings are capable of incredible transformation. We break through. We break down. We re-invent and we rise from the ashes. Some people even manage to make quantum leaps and extreme emotional makeovers.
But for most of us, we are just who we are and that’s that. People don't change very much. Not really. Your every day “you-ness” has been there since you got here, (just ask your dad, or your kindergarten teacher, or any astrologer). Extroverted. Jovial. Tender-hearted. Curious. Cautious. Exacting. Bold. For better or worse, your essential personality is likely going to keep on keepin’ on.
