6 Tips on How To Stick To Your Resolutions

Have you already failed to keep your New Year’s resolutions? Do you wonder why you always fail when it comes to self-improvement? Some people believe resolutions are silly because nobody seems to stick to them. What can you do to be successful next time you make a resolution?

Why do we make resolutions?

Did you ever avoid stepping on the cracks in the sidewalk when you were walking down the street as a kid? I sure did. According to psychologists, this strange habit has a scientific explanation.

Five Ways to Practice Visualization for Results You Want

Motivation

A wise man named Marcus Aurelius once said, “Our lives are what our thoughts make them.” If we want to achieve great things in life, we have to think great things about ourselves and see ourselves excelling in our minds. That’s exactly where visualization comes in.

As a little kid, any time I wanted to dance in a recital, compete in a pageant or participate in a science fair, my dad had me visualize myself being successful. He knew that this was a fundamental first step to performing well and achieving my goal. It also gave me a chance to see where I could fail and what hard work it would take, without my dad having to say it.

The Prison – Developing Self Belief

Motivation

Existence cocooned by four, strictly vertical, unscalable, unbreakable walls.

There is enough space to maneuver but there are limits. The debilitating barriers of mediocrity. A fuzzy, distant haze so far and yet magically so near. A restricted view, obscured by the convoluted, rigmarole of daily shenanigans and the drudgery of carving a life within the strict parameters of the prison. Outside there is a world of outstanding creativity. There is everything one can desire, want or need but you’re indisposed, your hands are tied, your path is blind.

Two simple questions come to mind;

1. Where did the prison originate?

3 Incredibly Important Things to Keep in Mind on Your Journey to Self-Discovery

Motivation

When I was younger, I developed a limiting belief around money that restricted me from attaining the professional and financial success I longed for.

You see, just a few short years ago I was buried in over $120,000 in debt. It seemed like no matter what I did, I couldn’t seem to dig myself out. I was an entrepreneur, but I wasn’t making money. Quite the opposite in fact! And, what’s worse is I was also struggling with my weight and self-image. All of these things
were making it really hard to stay positive.

Seven Helpful Tips for a Happier You

My unnecessarily long and difficult journey towards becoming an action taker

Motivation

“I can’t do this anymore!” The words ringed in my ear over and over again. “I’m too tired. I need to take a break. Besides, I’ve done enough already.” Rationalizations poured out of me like vomit. With every sentenced, my back dropped lower into my chair.

My right hand slowly reached for the mouse. My left went for the keyboard. I typed in “youtube” and it was all over. Taking action was never my strong suit. As a kid, I made a habit out of doing everything in the last possible moment. I did my homework 30 minutes before going to school.

What Sets Confident People Apart?

Motivation

Confidence is often that one thing that determines whether you get hired for that job, seal a business deal, or get that girl. After a certain point, it doesn’t matter what skills you have or don’t have. Great things are often born out of half-baked ideas backed by the powerful belief that it will happen.

Remember what J.M. Barrie, author of Peter Pan, said: you’ll stop flying the moment you start doubting whether you can.

Easier said than done, right? We’re not all born with movie-star good looks or the ability to sweet-talk our way into getting the things we want, Jordan Belfort style.

Success Lesson: The Great Value of Failure

Motivation

We live in a society that keeps telling us we should be resisting anything that looks like failure. From childhood, failure is looked upon as the ultimate disaster. It has somehow grown to mean you have reached your limitation and that you have let yourself and others down. We cower in shame after those around us get wind that we have failed at something.

The cold hard reality is this; failure is not the end, it is the beginning. As you stumble across the threshold of failure you discover a brand new world filled with possibilities. The price for such admittance is to fail.

The Ripple Effect – What You Do Matters

Motivation

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” — Margaret Mead

Have you ever heard of the Butterfly Effect?

It was an idea invented in 1963 by a man named Edward Lorenz, that stated that “if a butterfly flapped it’s wings on one side of the world that it would cause a hurricane on the other side of the world.” Which is now called “sensitive dependency on initial conditions.”
