***5 Primal Principles of Communication

Rule #1: Turn away when he looks at you. Rule #2: When he turns his head, it's your time to look at him. But whatever you do, never stare him in the eyes -- he'll think you're challenging him. And that's something you don't want to do! No, I'm not talking about dealing with a psychopath. I'm talking about having an everyday communication with a gorilla capable of tossing you into a tree. I was taught the techniques of proper gorilla communication during a trip to Africa 20

***New View, New You, New Life

When I was fifteen, I was bored with my life. I no longer wanted to be the nice guy who was always polite and followed instructions. So, I decided to shake things up and changed my hair to look cool. I also bought a used leather jacket and started acting a little flippant. A few days later, my uncle Chick dropped by to pick up my father to go bowling. He noticed the different me and said, “I see you’re making some changes, Bobby. What’s great about feeling restless is that i

Do You Feed Negativity?

When negativity knocks at your door, do you recognize it and send it away? Or do you invite it in for dinner, or worse, to stay with you as long as it likes—possibly for your lifetime? First, be clear that being the manager of negativity in your life isn’t about the fact you have negative thoughts or feelings—you will. It isn’t about eliminating negative thoughts and feelings so you never experience them again—that’s not realistic.

8 Steps to Master Your Thoughts.

Thought mastery is so important to an individual’s success in life. However, most people are not fully empowering themselves with this incredible edge because they are not ready to commit to the mental make over required to achieve this unbelievable wisdom known as thought mastery. People are afraid to make changes once they have become comfortable in their routines. We are creatures of habit, so it is imperative we teach ourselves the most empowering habits instead of self sabotaging beliefs. If you want to be the creator of your destiny, then you must be in total control of your thoughts.

Patience leads to successful leadership

“Patience is necessary, and one cannot reap immediately where one has sown.” ~ Soren Kierkegaard So many people equate successful leadership as the act of achieving results.

Align Your Life With Your Values: Get Down to the Core

“Integrity is not so much a value in itself; it is rather the value that guarantees all the other values. “ Anonymous Your core values govern the way you live and the way you respond to life. They govern the way you react to situations that present themselves. Your core values help to guide your decision making. They govern the way you react to your friends and to your non-friends. We are in harmony when we act in alignment with our core values. We can consciously act outside of our values. This brings on dissonance because our true values are still there at our core.

Energize Your Life By Understanding Drive vs. Passion

I have been talking a lot lately with women who are telling me that they are working hard, quite often achieving their goals, and yet still not feeling successful, accomplished, or good about what they are doing. A typical story goes like this: You decide that you want to accomplish a big project, for example, writing your book. You work on it for six months. You create your action plan, you meet all of your mini-goals or milestones, and you finally finish your book. You have a completed manuscript! And yet, you don't feel all that accomplished for putting the final edits on it.

Self Improvement and Motivation has everything to do with How you can Earn More Money

Speak with anyone today and they will tell you that having witnessed the world go through financial and many natural crisis, the ability to earn more money has become imperative for reasons of keeping up with the bills, security to back up an initial source of income, contributing to society at large and even giving back to those who are less fortunate or have been stricken by a natural disaster.

6 Depression Busters

Most of us have been there, and sometimes without warning. Depression typically attacks those who have suffered a loss, physical and mental abuse, have low self-esteem or are experiencing a lack of fulfillment. The degrees in the severity of depression vary from bouts of mild depression extending to more severe, medical conditions such as bi-polar disorder. For the milder bouts of depression, it is much simpler to find higher ground than it is for a person who is suffering from a more serious condition.

***THE POWER OF VULNERABILITY

There is a myth in our culture that empowerment involves competition and feelings of superiority. Another cultural myth says that vulnerability involves humiliation and weakness. I believe that the reality is very different. Empowerment is an interior state of confidence, not in one’s ego or personality, but in the ability to create a desired outcome without diminishing others. Vulnerability is a willingness to listen with your heart instead of waiting impatiently for a quiet moment in which to enlighten the other with your most cherished viewpoint.

Act As If

I first heard the phrase “act as if” about fifteen or twenty years ago. I remember learning that if we “act as if” we already have something we want, “act as if” something is already occurring in our lives (even if it’s not), or “act as if” we know how to do something (even if we don’t) – we create the conditions for it to manifest in our life with greater easy and probability. In recent years, this concept has been popularized and even mainstreamed by books, films, and teachers talking about the “law of attraction” (i.e.

Simplest Way to Be Happy Now!

I reviewed the recent poll we had on SelfGrowth.com asking "What is your biggest motivator?" The top answer was happiness. To me, happiness is not just a feeling. It's a decision. If we leave it to be a feeling, then it comes and goes as it pleases. We never grab it and hold on to it. But don't worry, there is a way to do this. First, decide that you're going to be happy. No matter what your circumstances are, be grateful because there are many people that are in worst situations than you. And also be grateful that you have power over your life.

How do You Grade Your Worth and Self-Worth?

Have you ever thought about how the way we’re taught to measure worth and self-worth is similar to how we got tests graded in school? There is an interesting parallel. The school grades you received for tests measured, in a limited fashion: how well you took tests (often designed to be tricky), memorized, understood (or liked, from your side of things) what you were tested on, and—though more from your perspective than the system’s—whether or not you believed you’d have a use for the information now or in the future (felt it was applicable to your life experience or goal).

Don't Believe Everything You Think - How To Change Misguided Thoughts

Right now, in this moment, you have everything you think you deserve. You are living the life you believe you are worthy of. Your life experience mirrors your internal self-esteem. If you have an unhealthy low self-esteem you will never enjoy the life you dream of. Even if you achieve success in the accomplishment of a desired goal you will self-sabotage until you are back at a level, a comfort zone, that reflects how you feel about yourself. If you have a healthy high self-esteem you will allow yourself to achieve and enjoy what you want and know you deserve.

We sometimes assume the way we do something is how everyone does it. This isn’t necessarily, and usually isn’t, the case.
