Dr. Jim Collier's Insights & Strategies » Good Time http://drjimcollier.com PRACTICAL WISDOM FOR EVERYDAY LIVING Sat, 24 Jul 2010 11:54:37 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Through the Fire http://drjimcollier.com/life-in-general/through-the-fire/ http://drjimcollier.com/life-in-general/through-the-fire/#comments Thu, 11 Jun 2009 18:46:18 +0000 drjim http://drjimcollier.com/?p=228 We had a fire at our home back in January of this year and it was a total loss.  We were at the movies watching “Last Chance Harvey” when we were notified by the police that our house was on fire.  It was almost surreal standing there in the bitter cold of mid January in Pennsylvania watching our house burn.

During the months following this tragedy it was a good time to reevaluate some things in our lives including my decision whether to continue with this website.  I have finally decided to keep it going but with some significant changes.

We will be posting alot more content including video and audio.  Lood for the focus to be more on personal development with very practical strategies on how to improve your life. Till next time, Jim

Avoid all of the hype and spin from news sources – they live for times like these. My hometown paper decided to run two consecutive headlines on the front page that were huge; one of them read, “Dow down” and the other said, “Misery”. Both of these headlines had accompanying graphics that shouted terror and alarm. I have decided to avoid this paper with their cheap shot at sensationalism.

Focus your mind and thinking during this time. I run a 10 minute devotional site with a brief meditation, usually some soothing pictures and music. You can find it here.
