Three Top Secrets To Success

Positive Thinking. Positive Actions. Personal Development. These are the 3 magic ingredients that have changed my life and allowed me to start living the lifestyle I always wanted. My life was the same as most peoples. Consumed with work, which involved working on the land, a tough job at the best of times, and a constant uphill battle when forced to deal with mother nature. Mortgage repayments, monthly bills, the occasional holiday. Just an average lifestyle and income which I accepted as 'how my life was supposed to be'. How wrong I was. I used to dream about how I wished things were, but always chose to accept how things are, and thought I could not change it. What I didn't realise at the time was - nothing will change unless I change it. Simple really, when you think about it,...

Making Time For Me

This is going to be a difficult for some of you but I swear it is absolutely necessary. Don't work all the time! I've been there you know. When I first started I worked all the time: days, evening, weekends. I wanted to make my business a success but in all the organising, getting the right website, marketing strategy, networking, portfolio and so on I neglected the main component of my business - me. I ended up tired, grouchy, stressed and ill. My family were less than impressed. Now, I am not going to tell you how to work, when to work or even how to relax. I am going to tell you what I do now and then you can decide the best way to work & play for YOU. Firstly, because I know this is the important bit, your work. It's your business.

Happiness: A Step Away

Happiness stems from the inner feeling of peace and the calmness surrounding it. While many believe that happiness would come to them from the things that they do or the needs they fulfill, it does not truly work that way. While little things could change your mood and make you happy, happiness comes from inside. Of course, there might be factors that activate your happiness, but some people, at the worst times, remain happy. In the saddest moment, there is always something that can change your mood. It's not something that you can see, and only few people can feel it. It requires a lot of work in order to obtain and once obtained, you can never let it go. Just like you, everyone has trouble of his own and everybody goes through hard times. If you identify and find the happiest man...

Dissolving Your Fears

Do you have a cherished dream or desire that you rarely work on achieving? If so, you're not alone. Most people don't take action on their biggest dreams because the mental picture of the goal seems overwhelming and they fear failure. This debilitating fear of failure stops people before they even attempt to succeed. To make goals or desires a reality, we have to chunk them down into smaller tasks that are manageable and achievable. Each small step we take is a small success and it motivates us to take another and another. Soon, the fear that had been haunting us subsides and our self-confidence increases. I stuttered (stammered) into my twenties and could not communicate fluently. I avoided ordering coffee, asking for directions, answering the phone, talking to a store clerk and networking....

Dreams Are Dreams

For most people and some pets, dreams are a succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. Some are pleasant and they end with a smile when awakened, to others they are bad called nightmares. In the mind of a senior some dreams are the start of plans for the future, that is, a strongly desired goal or purpose. The vision of an experience in real life that has the characteristics of a dream, but is locked into reality - that is a real event, entity, or state of affairs for their future. To many other seniors dreams are just wishes whispered to themselves as they look at the calendar. I wish that day would come. I wish that day would go away and I could keep working with my friends. That can happen by just doing...

Create Your Own Economy

Yesterday someone asked me why I loved the home business industry so much? So gave the political answer and said... "I'll Get Back To You" I followed up by saying I absolutely love the industry but I want to give you a better answer. So that's what I'm going to give you now. This has been a roller coaster week for me. Seriously WHAT A WEEK.

You Can Succeed

Have you ever noticed that it can take only one person to "ruin" your good mood or good day? A disapproving comment from a parent, a critical statement from a spouse or significant other, a brush off from the guy in processing division that you've had a crush on, an insult from one of the popular girls in school; they can cause you to go from on top of the world to wanting to be six feet under in a heartbeat. Why is that? Do we really want to give that much power to one individual? Why should we take such things to heart? They go on their merry way probably never giving us a second thought while we allow it to affect us in such a way that it stops us dead in our tracks. I'll admit, I've fallen for it numerous times. There are times when I even set myself up for the fall, expecting...

Tapping Into Positive Energy Sources

But often we use the wrong type of energy. We take the easy (but ultimately flawed) path of tapping into negative energy sources because it can provide instant results. Instant results come at a price though and that price is long-term unhappiness. To overcome this we need to shift our focus. We need to develop the ability harness the positive energy sources in our lives because these come with a much set of side-effects: happiness, fulfillment, and success. Negative Energy Sources Negative energy is energy derived from stress, anger, anxiety, hate, and fear. These energy sources provide a quick burst of explosive energy which can be useful in certain situations, like running from pack of ravenous lions.

Your Why Factor

We all have great aspirations and ambitions in life. We want the best and we also want to achieve the best. We might not tell our loved ones we want to be there for them but it is our greatest desire that we want the best not only for ourselves but also for our loved ones. We also have the greatest desire to make the world a better place with our contributions. Whatever we want to achieve in life, we must begin by setting goals. We must set Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely goals. What is stopping most of us from achieving these goals is that we do not have a strong enough WHY. Therefore any goal you have decided to accomplish in life remember to ask yourself "why do I want this?". Achieving your goals depends on your WHY FACTOR: What is your WHY?...

13 Reasons to Love Yourself

Love is an adventure of discovery, whether the object of your love is a person, place, idea, or even your own self. Love involves desiring to know and serve someone or something that we love, and then setting out to explore and support the beloved through all seasons. The act of loving stretches us beyond our ordinary wants and needs, to include the desires and essentials of the one we love. The process of loving reveals and creates us as surely as it weaves an unbreakable bond between us and the object of our love, even when our service is unknown to the beloved. The love we offer serves to fulfill primal needs of our beloved: to be seen and acknowledged, understood and accepted, wanted and chosen. Likewise, our essential need to be useful is also satisfied. In a mysterious way that...
