Be a Person Who Practices Non-Situational Integrity By Denis Waitley

Denis WaitleyIntegrity, a standard of personal morality and ethics, is not relative to the situation you happen to find yourself in and doesn’t sell out to expediency. Its short supply is getting even shorter, but without it, leadership is a facade.

Learning to see through exteriors is a critical development in the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Sadly, most people continue to be taken in by big talk and media popularity, flashy or bizarre looks, and expensive possessions. They move through most of their years convinced that the externals are what count, and are thus doomed to live shallow lives.

How Goal Setting Actually Works by Darren Hardy

Darren Hardy - motivational expert and authorLet me reveal the mystery — secret — of goal-setting. You only see, experience and get what you look for. If you don’t know what to look for, you certainly won’t get it.

By our very nature, we are goal-seeking creatures. Your brain tries to align your outer world with what you are seeing and expecting in your inner world. When you instruct your brain to look for the things you want, you will begin to see them. In fact, the object of your desire has probably always existed all around you, but your mind and eyes weren’t open to it.

Money and Relationships By Noah St. John

Noah St. JohnSaying to someone “don’t let money affect your relationships” — is like saying “don’t let oxygen affect your breathing.”

Without one, it’s awfully hard to have the other.

I tell my coaching clients that money doesn’t CHANGE anything; it REVEALS everything.

Money acts as a magnifying glass. If you’re a poor jerk, you’ll be a rich jerk — only jerkier. If you’re a broke nice person, you’ll be a rich nice person — only nicer.

In these tough financial times, how can we make sure our relationships stay healthy?

Here are five relationships assumptions to avoid when money is tight:

Establishing Dreams and Goals by Jim Rohn

Jim Rohn motivational speaker, authorOne of the amazing things we have been given as humans is the unquenchable desire to have dreams of a better life, and the ability to establish goals to live out those dreams.

Think of it: We can look deep within our hearts and dream of a better situation for ourselves and our families; dream of better financial lives and better emotional or physical lives; certainly dream of better spiritual lives. But what makes this even more powerful is that we have also been given the ability to not only dream but to pursue those dreams and not only to pursue them, but the cognitive ability to actually lay out a plan and strategies (setting goals) to achieve those dreams. Powerful!

How to Create an Empowering Vision Board By Jack Canfield

Jack Canfield - motivational speaker & authorYour brain will work tirelessly to achieve the statements you give your subconscious mind. And when those statements are the affirmations and images of your goals, you are destined to achieve them!

Creating a vision book is probably one of the most valuable visualization tools available to you. This powerful tool serves as your image of the future – a tangible representation of where you are going. It represents your dreams, your goals, and your ideal life.

What Do You Believe? By Ryan C. Lowe

My question to you is, what do you believe about yourself? Do you believe you can do great things and that you have great things ahead in life, or do you believe that everything around you is hopeless? Unbelievably, the way you think and the way you talk to yourself, play a huge role in what happens to you for the rest of your life. Your thoughts are fundamental to greatness or failure, and can lead you to either the highest or the lowest points in your life. The secret is to keep your thoughts positive. Positive thinking and positive affirmations are the key ingredients to being successful in life.

Survivors and Thrivers! Chris Widener

Chris WidenerWhat are the differences between someone who survives and someone who thrives? Here are a few:

A survivor gets by, a thriver gets ahead. Do you feel like you are just getting by? You don’t have to. You can actually get ahead! You can be out front! You can thrive!

A survivor is tired at the end, a thriver feels full of energy. When you are finished do you feel tired? You can thrive and be filled with energy! You can thrive!

How to Clear Your Head Trash By Noah St. John

Noah St. JohnIn my previous article, I showed you that every decision you make comes from your Why-To’s and Why-Not-To’s. Yet, after sharing this information with over 250,000 people through my books, coaching programs and seminars, I’ve never met one person who doesn’t WANT to succeed.

So there must be something else going on…

Your mind is like an iceberg: 5% visible (above the surface) and 95% hidden (below the surface).

Let’s call the visible 5% your Conscious Mind, and the hidden 95% your Subconscious Mind.

Your Subconscious Mind is like a room that’s totally dark. When you can’t see something, it’s awfully hard to change it.

Mice and Men by Jim Stovall

jim stovall Recently, there was a university study done using white mice as the subjects for a psychological experiment. The mice were put into a cage with a red light and a green light on opposite sides of the space. The experiment was designed in such a way that when a bell rang, a mouse could rush to the red light or the green light to receive a treat. The treat was only presented for a few seconds, so that if the mouse guessed wrong and went to the green light when the treat was being presented at the red light, the mouse didn’t have enough time to rush across the cage and get the treat.

Horse Sense By Jim Stovall

jim stovall More than virtually any other animal, horses have impacted the way we humans have lived throughout most of recorded history. Many of us who have lived in the 20th and now the 21st centuries, have no direct connection to horses, but there is still much they can teach us.
