(An excerpt from the journal of Kiernan Antares dated March 25, 2009)

Humor's effectiveness will always ride the emotional tides of your audience members. How well a joke goes over may depend on whose company your prospects are in, whether they are winding down for the day or still up against deadlines or other workplace pressures, whether they are awake and alert or feeling drowsy, whether they have a headache, etc. Always be in tune with how your audience is feeling and always assess the atmosphere you're in to determine whether it is conducive to...

The Word of God reminds us, that we should “Be very careful, then, how live - not unwise but as wise, making every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what Lord’s will is” (Ephesians 5:17-17).

Changing the way we live, the way we see ourselves and the world is no easy trick.

Study nature's way. Learn her rhythms, her seasons, her cycles.

See how she hibernates and rests during the cold winter, using that time to replenish and heal.

See how she bursts forth in a slow crescendo of green and bright colors over the spring, rejoicing in the inevitable new growth.

See how she gives her all, her grandest performance, over the summer months...

A common misperception among many people is that they can’t visualize.  The truth is everyone visualizes and everyone has an active imagination.

If you have caught yourself daydreaming, then you know that your imagination works.  If you have ever thought about something that you don’t have yet, you can imagine and if you can imagine and if you can imagine, you can visualize.

What seems to throw people off is the belief that...

You have a responsibility to create miracles in your own life. The responsibility lies on your shoulders. You can’t blame anyone else, and you can’t look outside of yourself for someone else to create the miracles for you. In this article, I’m going to break down the word “Miracle”, because each of you have a responsibility. As you know, my Why is to impact others and change the world one heart at a time.

Everyone knows that the key to a healthy body is diet and exercise. Many people obsessively work out every day to keep in tip top shape. So, if we're so concerned with exercising our bodies, why do we often neglect to exercise our minds? Our brains are just like our muscles: use it or lose it.
