Seven Truths About You By Brian Tracy and Christina Tracy Stein

Your natural state is to be happy, peaceful, joyous, and full of excitement at being alive. In this natural state you wake up each morning eager to start the day. You feel wonderful about yourself and your relationships with the people in your life. You enjoy your work and derive a great sense of satisfaction from making a contribution that makes a difference. Your primary goal should be to organize your life in such a way that this is how you feel most of the time.

Love ‘Em Down and Love ‘Em Up By Zig Ziglar

Motivation

The way you start and end your child’s day is extremely important because if the day is started and ended properly, the time in between will go much better.

In almost every case, new mothers and fathers respond to their baby in a gentle and loving way. They talk, sing and coo while they prepare the baby for bed. They cuddle it until it goes to sleep, and then they gently lay it in its bed.

Getting Over Fear and On with Your Life! By Chris Widener

Motivation

The main reason I do not have fear is because I have come to grips with the concepts surrounding fear. I have understood fear, primarily from two angles. The first angle is psychologically and the second angle is theologically. You see, I think that if we address the issues of life and the fears we experience from both a good understanding of psychology and theology, then I believe we can be free from fear.

Why Self-Help is SHELF-Help By Noah St. John

Motivation

Americans spend over 11 Billion dollars a year on “self-help” products. But I call most of it “SHELF-Help” — because most of it goes on the shelf, along with all the other stuff you’ve bought!

If you’re like most of my coaching clients, you’ve spent lots of money on “shelf-help”. But the REAL question is: Why, if we’re spending all this money, are so few of us actually living the life of our dreams?

To answer this question, we must first ask a deeper question: What Really Causes Human Behavior? Here’s the simplest answer I’ve found to that question:

Beyond Cooperation By John Maxwell

Motivation

When a group of soldiers found themselves locked away in a German prison camp during World War II, they easily could have waited out the end of the war there. Or, they might have made a few small attempts to free one or two people.

At one such camp, however, the goals were much bigger. These prisoners organized themselves around the collective goal of freeing 250 soldiers in one night. Their story became the basis for the 1963 movie The Great Escape.

Why Raising The Bar Doesn’t Always Work by Noah St. John

Motivation

“The secret of success: Get up early. Work late. Strike oil.” – John D. Rockefeller

We always hear that we need to “raise the bar” to be more competitive and more successful. That term “Raise the bar” is a metaphor borrowed from the sports world, meaning to constantly strive for better, farther, faster. And that’s a great aim to have. But is that the way life really works?

Let’s say you want to be a champion high jumper.

I’ve written a bestselling book called “How to Be a Champion High Jumper” so you ask me to coach you. On the first day of training, you run onto the practice field, all motivated and ready to go.

Personal Philosophy Is Like the Set of the Sail by Jim Rohn

Motivation

In the process of living, the winds of circumstances blow on us all in an unending flow that touches each of our lives.

We have all experienced the blowing winds of disappointment, despair and heartbreak. Why, then, would each of us, in our own individual ship of life, all beginning at the same point, with the same intended destination in mind, arrive at such different places at the end of the journey? Have we not all been blown by the winds of circumstances and buffeted by the turbulent storms of discontent?

Know Where You Are Going by Robin Sharma

Motivation

“Focus your time and your life on your highest talents and dreams.”

I turned 40 a while ago and I am spending a lot of time reading obituaries. I get rejuvenated when I look at people’s obituaries and the lives they’ve lived. The differences that people have made inspire me.

As we reach the half-time point of life a lot of us begin to reflect on whether or not we are living the lives we want to live. We ask ourselves, “How can I make a difference?” We ask ourselves this important question because the biggest regret of all is to reach the end of our lives only to realize that we walked the planet in vain.

Seven Ways to Live a More Productive and Positive Lifestyle

Motivation

Doesn’t it seem like every time you turn on the TV or get on the computer, there is always more negative news that just weighs you down. On top of that, you have your own personal issues to deal with. This “negative storm” can cause someone to feel stuck, lost and full of anxiety. It is the fear of the unknown that builds up in our mind and takes over like a dark cloud. This dark cloud follows us and rains on us, making us negative in our personal and professional lives.

When it comes to meeting and conquering the negativity in your life, here is a key question: What can you do, starting today, that will make a difference? What can you do during economic chaos?
