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......

Self-improvement is the key to success in many areas of our lives. I wanted to share my experiences and what I do for mentally preparing myself for peak performance. What is mental preparation? Mental preparation is about visualizing a specific situation you want to create, exactly the way you want to create it, and mentally “going through the motions” to increase the probability that you will get your desired outcome. How can we accomplish this? Here are the steps I follow: 1. I Write out specifically and exactly what I want to accomplish. 2. I get myself in a peak performance state by ch......

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 need self-improvement first before our life improves? The law of correspondence ......

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 along? Why did we allow ourselves to get caught up doing things at times th......
Self Improvement
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 goals seem unattainable, most of us give up and ......

Live with PassionDo you wake up in the morning and wish you could just crawl back into bed? If so, chances are that you are not living with passion. I can tell you that you need to have a purpose and desire when you get up in the morning to be successful. To start up on the right foot, you need to create habits that will empower you in the future. Decide that you want to be happy – even more, that you deserve to be happy every single second of the day! Even if things don’t turn out the way you have planned, is it really the end of the world?

One of the key concepts in living in a state of passion, is to be physically fit. If you are not physically fit, chances are that you will have trouble being mentally fit. In fact, many people indulge in eating to get a change of state or feel good in the moment, but have not realized the pain they will have due to this habit later on.

Another key to living passionately, is to focus on things that will make you passionate. Things that you love! Don’t focus on things that will put you in a less than passionate state. Don’t focus on things you don’t want and negativity. There are always positive and negative things in life. We should focus on what is good and improve or change what is bad. A problem can only help you grow into a better, stronger person, so don’t look at problems in a negative sense. Many times a problem will weigh on people tremendously and create fear and failure. To be successful, we need to focus on the solutions to these problems most of the time and not focus on just the problem itself. Focusing in on just the problem will make you feel worse and waste time.

I want you to try something in steps…

1) Think about something you are truly passionate about (sports team, your child, a certain topic)
2) Talk to someone about that subject in a passionate way.
3) Notice how you feel (physically, mentally)
4) What about your physiology (body movements) is different from times when you are not passionate?
5) What were you focusing on when you were speaking that created the passion? Even if it was something negative that created your initial passion, were you just exposing a problem that needed to be solved?

I would love your feedback – comments are welcomed.

To me, passion is our personal energy meter, the higher it is the more we can accomplish and better we feel.
