“The test and the use of man’s education is that he finds pleasure in the exercise of his mind.” – Jacques Barzun

Be Your Best Self & Live Your Best Life with the University of Life!

Life doesn’t care whether you’re happy or sad, rich or poor, loved or lonely, confident or a coward. It respects whatever choices you make via your thoughts, feelings and actions, and that’s what determines where you end up.

If you’re smart, you’ll quit living your life randomly. You’ll stop doing things the way you’ve always done them just because that’s the way you’ve always done them. You’ll begin making informed choices that promote your well being!

The University of Life is here to help! We produce insightful articles, podcasts and videos to help you make productive choices that result in smart, happy living!

Live smart, live happy! Click on menu topics or read through the articles below to get started!

Identity 101: The Power of YOU
To know you is to love you, and this FREE video course walks you through 10 key ways to know yourself better than ever!

 

Feelings Matter

If you want to know what makes life good, look to feelings. Everything you crave in live – love, peace, joy, hope, happiness, pleasure, relief, satisfaction – are feelings. Everything else – money, relationships, toys, careers – is just a tool to secure those feelings.

Feelings motivate your actions – and inaction – by rewarding or deterring you - and thus control your destiny, for better or worse.

Feelings also have a dark side. Fear, worry, discouragement, anxiety, anger, hatred, discomfort and others crush your happiness, create conflict in your relationships, and paralyze your potential.

The following articles provide instructions to help you recognize, understand, and master your feelings so they can support your goals rather than destroying your happiness and success.
