Neil Sattin.com

My name is Neil Sattin (you probably guessed that), and I’m a full-time blogger striving to share the wealth with blog readers from around the globe.

I have a passion for living life to its fullest, planning when it’s important, and being spontaneous when the mood strikes me.  I believe that everyone can be successful by being true to who they are, and that choosing to live your dream is the surest path to success.  In following that path, I hope to help others along the way as well.

Qualities in others that I cherish (in no particular order):

• Honesty
• A sense of humor
• Striving to know oneself better
• Compassion
• Awareness of the big picture
• Creativity
• Optimism
• Enthusiasm
• Centeredness
• The ability to blend the pragmatic with the fantastic
• Gratitude
• Kindness
• The courage to be true to yourself - in public
• Openness

Since I’m no hypocrite, those are also the qualities (among others) that I try to foster within myself.  And I write all about it here.

I also write a lot about dog training - in particular Natural Dog Training, a technique developed by Kevin Behan that utilizes a dog’s prey instinct and emotional interaction with the world to overcome issues and elicit obedient behavior.  While I initially had it all on this blog, I ended up moving all of my dog training oriented writing to NaturalDogBlog.com.  Meanwhile NeilSattin.com continues, with the mission of inspiring you to be yourself, live the well-rounded life that you want to live, and succeed in following your passion(s).  And to keep smiling, of course.

My wife Tonya writes over at HappyDash.com, and also has a vintage goods shop over at Etsy called the HappyDashery.  Our son’s name is Dashiell - so now you know why we’re a little “dash” obsessed.  He was born in January of 2007 - so we’re a little new at the parenthood thing, something you’ll get to hear all about as a topic of discussion on our blogs as well.

Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions - or to just say “hello”!
