Freedom from Urgency by Denis Waitley

Denis WaitleyFreedom from urgency… That’s what will allow us to live a rich and rewarding life. You may have thought your problem was “time starvation,” when in truth, it was in the way you assigned priorities in your decision-making process. Have you allowed the urgent to crowd out the important?

Each day we will continue to encounter deadlines we must meet and “fires,” not necessarily of our own making, we must put out. Endless urgent details will always beg for attention, time and energy. What we seldom realize is that the really important things in our life don’t make such strict demands on us, and therefore we usually assign them a lower priority.

Creating A New Positive Belief System by Mark Victor Hansen

Mark Victor Hansen - motivational speaker and authorIt is because of your belief system that you are where you are in life right now. You have created your success or failure with the beliefs that you have established within yourself.

Most people would be astounded to know how many of their beliefs are based on lack, limitation, and shortage, and that these thoughts reproduce themselves directly into their life experiences.

You owe it to yourself to think only of unlimited prosperity, because abundance IS reality. There is no lack, no shortage. There are no limits except for those we impose on ourselves. Prosperity doesn’t start with someone or something outside of you.

Six Foundational Reasons for Managing Your Time by Chris Widener

Chris WidenerMost of us know how to manage our time. It is pretty simple really. What most of us miss are compelling reasons to manage our time. We know the “how” but miss the “why.” Here are six foundational reasons I have that motivate me to manage my time and myself properly.

1. It is a matter of stewardship. I view my life as not my own. I am merely a steward of it. I am given control over it for some 70 years and I should make wise decisions with it! This is a great sense of responsibility that compels me to manage my time.

The Legacy We Leave in Our Relationships by Chris Widener

Chris WidenerRelationships are at the very core of our existence and something we deal with every day and on every level of our lives.

We have very superficial relationships with many people, such as merchants we may meet, and relationships that we consider intimate, such as the ones we experience with our immediate family and our mates.

Relationships provide us with both the most positive as well as the most negative experiences we have in our lives. There are those who, though they may never achieve fame or fortune in this world, will be remembered very highly by all who came in contact with them. Their funerals will overflow with people they have touched.

Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life – Starting Today! by Jack Canfield

Jack Canfield - motivational speaker & authorThis isn’t a trick question.

Certainly you know the answer, the person who has been responsible for the life you live right now: YOU.

Everything about you is a result of your doing or not doing… Your income. Debt. Relationships. Health. Fitness level. Attitudes and behaviors.

I’ve often said that you are either creating or allowing everything that is happening in your life.

I think everyone knows this in their hearts, but often times people convince themselves into thinking that external factors are the source of their failure, disappointment, and unhappiness.

Lessons from Competitors by Jim Stovall

Sometimes, we get so busy competing against our competition that we forget to learn from them. We are trained to point out our own strengths and the weaknesses of our competition, but this only tells part of the story.

In business or any other competitive environment, it is always good to ask ourselves the following questions:

1. Other than ourselves, who in our field would we recommend someone to do business with?

2. Why would we recommend our competition?

3. What things do they do better than we do?

4. What can we learn from them?

Good Enough By Jim Stovall

There are some tasks that require all of our effort and energy. These types of tasks demand our best efforts and constant ongoing improvement. For example, if you are a parent, you should always be performing at your best and constantly seeking to be a better parent.

On the other hand, there are routine, mundane tasks that each of us must perform regularly. These tasks simply require a basic level of performance within a certain window of acceptability.

A doctor does not pour his cup of coffee each morning with the same degree of exacting focus that he employs when he performs surgery. We are all confronted with the ongoing question, “When is good enough, good enough?”
