Know why you want to Achieve Something and Nothing can Stop You

Any superficial motivation that presents outside of you will be fleeting at best and offer very little or no long term, enduring inspiration at all. For motivation or inspiration to offer you any long term value, it must either help you to answer the question; “Why is this important to me” or help you to reinforce your already well-established vision of what you want in your future. It must: 1) Help you ignite your inner power 2) Help you to either create or drive your crystal clear vision of the future. 3) Inspire you to take action.r

Leaders Take Action!

Have you ever been in a situation where you saw a leader take a specific action, yet you had no idea "why" or "how" the leader decided to take that specific action? Well, I have too! That's why I decided to study various leaders that I have worked with over 22 years and before long, I started to get insights into why leaders do what they do.

This morning I found Me talking to Myself. This does happen from time to time and I believe part of it may be due to my Bipolar Affective Disorder. But I also believe most of us talk to ourselves from time to time. Often times the words are just comments we would probably prefer to keep to ourselves. Still it is often hard for me to tell if it’s an inner or outer dialogue I am experiencing.r

My Husband Never Keeps His Word: My Husband Never Does What He Says I don't know anymore how many times I have told my husband something and he didn't listen to me, only to prove later on that I was right. In almost all those occasions I have tried to bite my lip, but instead I said, "I told you so". This is one of the biggest "don'ts" for wives that I have learned from other married women of God.

Sales Management III - What Works

“A Sales manager’s job is to move sales people to do what works.” This is Part III of the key elements – “Move” (I), “Do” (II), and “What Works” (III) A very wise sales guru once told me, “If a sales person is unruly, not conforming to policy, etc., but really selling well, keep him (or her) and deal with it.” Whatever this bad apple is doing is working and you want to keep him going. The point: Don’t mess with what’s working well.

A Documentary film is a great way of exploiting cinema's potential for observing life. It is a visual expression that strives to document reality.

Subliminal Audio - Turn Up the Tempo to Life

If we were to actually compare your life, or the life of most people all over the world to a musical track, it would be one that is slow, quite monotonous and one that is quite uninspiring. It is one that can be found in the back of CD stores, the one that nobody wants to buy and often ends up in the bargain bin.

From the time that we are born, we are taught to DO things! Every time we accomplish something we are rewarded, which gives us such accomplishment that we choose to pursue more opportunities to DO things so that we can be rewarded again! Education and work is also designed to further entrench this way of life. So we focus on DOING things to ensure success.

“Kinesiology and our Bodies Wisdom about Eating”

It seems that people have lost the ability to listen to their body. Especially when it comes to food, and this has a lot to do with making science more important than intuition. We have become so dependent upon science that we have forgotten the innate wisdom of our body. We have billions of never cells in our brain and we have billions of nerve cells in our gut. So when we have that gut feeling that something is not good for us… we should listen to what our body is saying. It’s time to listen to our innate body wisdom and become healthy.
