Self Improvement
On our way to any success, whether it's success with our finances, or relationships, our physical fitness or in our self improvement for that matter, many of us do not reach that ultimate goal. Why? We fail to clearly identify exactly what we want. That's exactly the reason why we don't get what we want. We don't clearly know and even if we do, it's usually just stated as a wish. Someday, we'll go on that vacation honey. Well, at least that guy knew what he wanted. But saying that you'll do something someday, is weak. Anyhow, I'll get into that more in my next article. Today, I want to focus o......

by George Tsoukalas Why is Self-Improvement Key in Creating Life Long Success? What an important question! Why is self-improvement so important in creating life long success? I mean, it goes without saying, but can you really achieve life long success in any area of your life, without first understanding what your current actions are giving you? If your day-to-day actions are not producing the results that would make your life a success, by your terms, what needs to change? If we are the ones that produce the results in our lives, and I believe we absolutely control that destiny, wouldn't we n......

by George Tsoukalas Self-improvement for a New You in 2010 (and beyond!) Happy New Year to you! A new year has begun today. Many of us think of the new year as a time to change our focus and get back on track on actions we did not take the year before. These actions probably include going on a diet, saving more money, taking a closer look at our finances, looking for a job and doing some stuff around the house that we have been putting off. I was thinking about this and asked myself, do we really need to wait for a new year to begin to commit to taking actions we should have been taking all al......

by George Tsoukalas The Importance of Purpose As we begin on our journey to fulfill our desires, I believe we will need to fully understand what we love to do the most, in the form of service, or work. We often see television interviews or read newspaper articles about people that are extremely successful in a certain area. This extreme level of success manifested from passion and desire. To me, passion and desire are the driving force of achievement. Without it, the chance that we will give up or procrastinate greatly increases to the point where our goals will seem unattainable. When go......

What are Bad Habits?

Empowering HabitsWhat is a bad habit? I would describe a bad habit as any personal action or inaction that keeps us from getting what we really want.

How are bad habits formed? How is any habit formed? The answer is through repetition. Habits are habits because we have conditioned ourselves through repetition. This applies to good and bad habits. We act in habit usually without giving any thought, because we have done it for so long that it is now embedded and driven by our subconscious mind.

Change Bad Habits to Positive, Empowering Habits

Changing bad habits can take anywhere from 3-5 weeks, or in some cases more. We need to consciously decide to do this. First, figure out the habit you want to eliminate. Then figure out the new habit that will take it’s place. Install the new positive habit pattern of thought by repetition. Also, notice the benefits you are getting from the new habit you are creating. Finally, look at the habit you are eliminating and notice what it is about that habit that was limiting your success. Decide to live by the benefits of the new habit and not the limitation of the old habit. Remember, repetition is the key!

Habits are very powerful – so make sure you have good ones that drive your success.
