Quotes of the Day

Sometimes we try too hard to sleep. Once we look too hard for it, it eludes us. For some people, this anxiety is lifted when they actually reverse what they're trying to do. Rather than trying to sleep, they try to stay awake. This is called "paradoxical intention." If you feel you "must sleep or "have to get to sleep" or you are "trying" hard to sleep, then give paradoxical intention a try, and see how long you can stay awake. [2021] - Judith R. Davidson

You don't need a retirement income that is fully adjusted for inflation for 35 years. And in many cases, it's not beneficial to defer all of your registered accounts for as long as possible. And what about becoming more conservative with your investments as you get older? Perhaps this would be wise, but remember that you'll still continue to need some element of growth in your accounts. [2019] - Daryl Diamond

Set up a host-beneficiary relationship. Company A (the host) agrees to let Company B (the beneficiary) deliver a sales message to people who are Company A's clients. Company A could even agree to encourage their clients to purchase a product or service from Company B and actually sing their praises. [2000] - Jay Abramham

Don't be afraid to trust your instincts. Instincts are different than urges. Whereas urges occur as a reaction to anxiety, instincts are natural feelings you get when you consider the relationship as a whole. While feeling comfortable and self-confident around someone new can take time, there are certain indicators that a person may not be good relationship material: being argumentative or disrespectful, being late on a regular basis, making jokes at your expense, expecting you to pay for everything, calling at the last minute or infrequently, or ignoring your calls. It's best to let these people go, even if it means being single a big longer, rather than to settle and then spend months or years feeling discontent or trying to change your partner. Don't be afraid to end it. Someone better for you will come along. [2014] - Shannon Kolakowski
