Finding Your Purpose and Living on Purpose Do you have a clear vision of what you should be doing with your life?  Are you taking the necessary risks to live according to your purpose, or playing it safe?  Are you clear on what you need to be doing, but putting it off until some point in the future, like retirement or when the kids go to college?  If you’re not sure what you true purpose is, how do you discover it?  These are the kinds of questions we will explore with author Gregg Krech, a leading authority on Japanese Psychology whose work is centered on self-reflection and purposeful living. Walker Percy said "The search is what anyone would undertake if he were not sunk in the everydayness of his own life . . . To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something.  Not to be onto something is to be in despair." Take a few minutes to step back from the everydayness of your life to consider your own personal search, your calling, and how you can create a life of living on purpose

SERIOUSLY SPEAKING... What can you do to secure the grid? First, Get smart. You can track the threats at www.securethegrid.com. When industry and government are challenged with hard questions by informed voters we are one step closer to securing the grid. Educating your sphere of influence is the next step. The electrical industry does a great job delivering energy to America each day but someone still needs the authority to make sure that energy and the lives depending on it are safe and secure. The electrical industry lobby has a conflict of interest when it comes to securing the grid. They have millions at their disposal to downplay threats and re-assure the public of their reliability. Education and knowledge in the scientific community within the electrical industry will help to secure the grid. That is a big part of what the secure the grid coalition does. After 11 government studies, established and uncontroversial threat assessments, and the advice of the nations top scientists, the industry has f

Hosted by Lisa Erhard Not the easiest topic but did you know that social anxiety is more common than you might think.  Do you find yourself avoiding certain social situations out of fear of being judged?  Or maybe you don't even know why you have anxiety, but you will go out of your way to avoid talking to people in certain situations.  You may be suffering from social anxiety. You want to meet people, make friends, and share yourself with the world, but social interactions can be nerve wracking for all of us. People with social anxiety constantly doubt their social adequacy, and worry about what might happen if people don’t like them or if they say or do the wrong thing.
