Do You Have What it Takes? Success Begins with Believing By Jack Canfield

In order to be successful, we must first define what success means to us, and that means getting CLEAR about what you want, writing it down, and thinking BIG!

If you are going to be successful in spite of a recession and create the life of your dreams, you have to believe that you are capable of making it happen. You have to believe you have the right stuff, that you are able to pull it off.

You have to believe in yourself. Whether you call it self-esteem, self-confidence, or self-assurance, it is a deep-seeded belief that you have what it takes â€“ the abilities, inner resources, talents, and skills to create your desired results.

Motivation Is Just The Beginning: You Need To Take Action!

Motivation

For twelve years I was miserable, I was at a job that I absolutely hated. I had no college degree, I had no special skills, and I was stuck. At times it got so bad I thought about quitting on the spot and taking any job, even working fast food.

I clearly remember the day when I said enough was enough; I had to find more fulfilling work. I was super excited and pumped; I told everyone who would listen that I’m moving on to something much better.

Are You Holding Yourself Accountable? By Joe Tye

Motivation

When someone else holds you accountable for something (as in “holding your feet to the fire”) it is extrinsically imposed motivation. Most of us get our taxes done by April 15 because there are consequences for failing to do so, not because we have a burning desire to pay our taxes.

But when you hold yourself accountable, the motivation is intrinsic. You don’t need someone else holding your feet to the fire when you yourself have made the commitment to walk across the hot coals. That’s what Tuesday’s Promise of The Self-Empowerment Pledge is all about – promising yourself to not rationalize and make excuses, but rather to commit yourself to doing that which must be done:

Advice About Adversity By Jim Stovall

Motivation

Each of us that lives in a free society charts our own course and are masters of our own destiny.

I realize not all of us enjoy total freedom in our personal and professional lives. This realization should be a wake-up call to all of us who live in nations where we have the blessings that freedom brings.

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

Motivation

Integrity, 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

Motivation

Let 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

Motivation

Saying 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

Motivation

One 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!
