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 ......

Is Your Glass Half Full?What is positive thinking? Is it really just thinking about what empowers us to make decisions and succeed? Is it the power of looking at the glass as half-full as opposed to half-empty? Well, it could be either of the two. The point is, that positive thinking is something that gives us power.

To contrast this, negative thinking would be thinking about things that dis-empower us. I think a useful way to combat negative thinking is to reject the negative thought as quickly as you can and replace it with something like “what I really meant was…” and make sure that the new thought is stated in the positive. We will always have negative thoughts. The key is not to dwell on them and remove them as quickly as possible.

I have an exercise for you to try. For 10 days, try to replace your negative, dis-empowering thoughts with positive thoughts. If you can do this, I think you will see a huge improvement in the quality of your life. To embed as a new habit, do this exercise for 30-45 days. Studies show that this is the time it takes to embed a subconscious habit.
