Overcome A Major FearnnA major source of stress in your life is the "fear of rejection" or "fear of criticism." This fear of rejection manifests itself in an over-concern for the approval or disapproval of your boss or other people. The fear of rejection is often learned in early childhood as the result of a parent giving the child what psychologists call "conditional love."nn Rise Above the Need For Approval nMany parents made the mistake of giving love and approval to their

Computerized everything, rocket ships, cars produced on a copy machine. Hundreds of ways to terrorize and kill us. We have astonishing numbers of people making a whirlwind of discovery and invention on all fronts. We have specialists in fields we didn’t know existed just a few years ago and are considering travel to distant planets. Will we choose door one, survive and prosper or door two, wipe each other out? Here are a few details we should keep in mind.

Listen to your voice of adventure!rnMax Lucado, Imagine Your Life Without Fear "There is a rawness and a wonder to life. Pursue it. Hunt for it. Sell out to get it. Don't listen to the whines of those who have settled for a second-rate life and want you to do the same so they won't feel guilty. Your goal is not to live long; it's to live. The options are clear. On one side is the voice of s
There will never be a right time in which to live your best life. You can start from wherever you are and begin living your authentic life. You may feel that you have no idea which direction to go. A noted Psychologist, Susan Jeffers said, âThere are no wrong choices. Both Path A and Path B offers you numerous benefits.â Are you living your best life? Chances are you are not. What are you waiting for? One of the many causes of stagnation in an individualâs life is fear.
Attitude. We see it in our body language, hear it in our tone of voice and feel it in our bodies. Our attitude can attract or repel others and sets the quality of our thoughts, our relationships and our lives.nnIt stands to reason then, that consciously adopting an empowering attitude would be the chosen course for most anyone in getting what we want. So why don't we? For many, it could be that we don't know that our attitudes may be hurting us.nn 2 Types of Attitudes nnThere
Are there real tricks to becoming fulfilled in life? You bet. My research and that of others suggests that there are key street-smart actions that those who are most fulfilled use every day in their professional and personal lives. I interviewed over 100 successful people---some who were fulfilled and others who were not---to understand why success does not always bring about fulfillment. There was amazing convergence around several things that fulfilled people do at work and
There is nothing sweeter in business than the phone ringing and on the other end of the line is your first “million dollar,” client. You know the client who has the budget and network to validate your expertise and justify why you stopped looking for a job. I am personally acquainted with the feeling of euphoria that overtakes you as you frantically run through the house, send out “I told you so emails,” and make phone calls to everyone you know. The only emotion that can ma
A handshake is generally the first exchange which takes place between different people when they meet. It is a form of greeting which we extend to each other. You may be surprised to know that the way you shake hands with people, tells a lot about your personality. This is because the handshake is a powerful tool of non-verbal communication. There are different types of handshakes which convey different meanings. For example, a weak handshake displays your lack of strength wh
Driving past the electronics store yesterday, a roadside billboard caught my eye. “Watch the recession in high-definition.” That was how the billboard read. My first thought was that the store manager obviously had a few leadership abilities himself. In an effort to stop his employees from ...
Dear High Achiever:nnTHE TIPPING POINT Iâm about to talk about is personal. I say that right out of the chute to be clear that this FYI isnât a book review of Malcolm Gladwellâs best-seller, The Tipping Point. Any references or similarities to what he wrote will be purely coincidental.nnSo now weâre clear; this Tipping Point is personal. Itâs ânn Your Tipping Point. Itâs when you are so fully immersed and passionate about whatâs happening in your life that you
Like most people my age I started smoking as a teenager. At first it was obvious that my body did not want that smoke in my lungs. The coughing, nausea, foul taste and eye irritation were worth putting up with in order to look grown up. Before long my body adjusted and the habit was formed.
Bullying is a serious problem around the world and the number of bullies as well as those being bullied grows each year. It is important that we recognize the warning signs of bullying whether it is the signs of someone being bullied or the signs of someone actually taking part as the bully. If you are a parent or even an individual working in an environment (school or work) where bullying may be present, here are a few warning signs that can help you recognize bullying from
Current education employ-ability gap in India is very challenging. Every individual is busy adding more and more qualifications in their resume. They just want a job by hook or by crook and rest else doesn't matters. It is ripe time that a candidate looks within himself and finds out, is it only the lack of qualifications which is responsible for his/ her unemployment or is it something else. Is it their wrong attitude ? Wrong way of self presentation ? Or poor communication
What Are You Digesting? With all of the big bad scary news blaring at us, we must ask ourselves this question! Consider it a provocative question to reflect on, beyond the literal meaning of digestion. In today's climate, it's essential to your well being and any chance of fueling smart, inspired success. What am I digesting?... What is fueling positive, sustainable, effective choices and actions? What is clogging up my system with distractions, doubts, derailments, draining
I googled “how can I improve my life” and got 216,000,000 results in one third of a second. Millions of different people worldwide are contributing advice. The problem is not finding advice but finding some that I can use. There must be help for people in my circumstances in there somewhere. If I can sift through 10,000 Google results per day I can get to them all in 80 years or so. Piece of cake.
Most people who read inspirational books and articles and come to coaching do so because they want to make a change in their career, performance, relationships and/or personal life. Getting clear on what you truly want and striving for it is empowering, energizing and truly life changing.rn rnHowever, in the process of building the life we want, itâs easy to miss out on the beauty that is all around us. We can be just like a mountaineer, intensely focused on the summit â
Just recently I flew from Sydney to Melbourne for an early morning meeting followed by a series of additional meetings, all in the same office. It was one of those ' down and back in one day trips ', so fortunately I only needed to carry my brief case so I could go direct to the express check in, saving myself up to half an hour in a queue. Upon arriving in Melbourne at just after 7.15 a.m. I headed straight for the taxi rank to pick up a cab. As I walked out into the morning
Others have tried to mess with it by giving advice but are not to blame. I have listened to teachers and motivational speakers, read inspirational books and thousands of quotes written throughout history. The internet has exposed me to much more. Some of it good, some not. Once in a while over the years I have met, spoken with or traded emails with a top business executive, famous actor or athlete.
Backstabbing? Sarcasm? Blaming others? Lame excuses? Dragging behind on projects? Overly sweet? A coworker guarantee she will be somewhere and never show up, without a word about it? I think you get the picture; Passive aggressive behavior is prevalent in so many workplaces and many of us are not dealing well with it. In fact, we are furious! It may feel like there is no way to get around this frustrating behavior and is even worse when you rely on them as a team member. Letâ
When I was 27 I received some excellent advice which Iâve been following throughout my career. One evening a fellow Toastmaster announced he had just been promoted to be the plant manager of a major manufacturing plant in the city I worked in. After the meeting I went up to congratulate him on his success and found the courage to ask him âWhat do you attribute your success to?â His response has stuck with me to this day. He said, âYou know Larry, Iâm not a very smar
rnThink about it, living on your own can give a great sense of freedom and certainty, however the cost might be prohibitive. In fact, it could be more expensive than you predict. Usually when a young person prepares to leave the comfort and guidance of their parents household, they do it with out the necessary life skills that are required to keep from having to come back to live with their parents and avoid having a âfalse startâ. We all know that knowledge is power. Thi
Youâve probably heard the phrase, âHeâll get over it.â Itâs usually said after someone has been hurt by a statement. The person who said it will rationalize, âTheyâll get over it.â But will they? For decades now, Iâve been doing my best to encourage people to go for their dreams. When someone says they have a desire to do something â whether enter a contest or work toward a degree or open a business or write a book â my general default setting is to urge
This was written for a Son and then the understanding that it was written also for the writer, for the neighbor and for anyone who has wondered. It was written for all of us who have experienced regret, loss or the pursuit of something not really known. It is for all of us that it is posted here. It is for all of us who believe that some things in our lives need to be discovered or found. It is for all of us who know loss, know suffering, know pain but also for those who have
Problems! Everybody experiences them. You might call “life challenges” your classroom for living. If you notice---every movie, play, sitcom, drama, thriller and adventure story features problems for the protagonist to face and overcome. Life deals everyone antagonists to overcome. Every aspect of your life causes you to come into contact with people. Some nice, some not so nice! Some dull, some boring and some more exciting that you can tolerate. Some men show arrogance while
Many people underestimate knowledge and some will even pretend that they know everything. Some people will go to limits where they do not seek to learn anymore and instead they will stay where they stop learning and go far into their belief that they know about everything.rnBut before you jumping into conclusions of your own knowledge, you should know that all it is that you know about is so little compared to a library, and while you might have read a lot and studied a lot,
If you are currently doing internet marketing or even thinking about it, you should definitely be developing time management skills. Marketing your business online and having a good sense of time management skills go hand in hand. Itâs all so very necessary if you want to be on top of your game. If you are new to the world of internet marketing, you are probably wondering why. This is a common question and I had the exact same question when I first started out marketing onl
Because I know how much better life can be with a few adjustments. I have experienced it. I believe there are people who will greatly enjoy experiencing it too. I am not Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, Sam Walton, the Dalai Lama, I am the guy next door and if I can do it, you can do it. You have to experience it to appreciate it and begin to enjoy it. Until then it is just an idea you might try some day if you have time. The truth is you have time today. You are just in the habit of filling it with something else.
What is the secret to passion and how do you get it? Well, the answer isn’t what you think. Don’t think about how to get it, because you already have it. Think about where to find it. Where to Find Passionr The secret is that passion is buried deep in your joy and happiness. In other words, if all you do is work—either at your job or at home—and you don’t do anything that has meaning to you, it can squish every bit of passion right out of you. Two Misconceptions About Passi
You know, Dear Reader, one day I just woke up and consciously realized I had a choice in how I would be in thought, attitude, and actions and I consciously decided that I was going to be a positive person day in and day out and that no matter what happened in my life, no matter what problem or obstacle I was faced with, I was going to remain positive. Constructive in intention or attitude Showing optimism and confidence Showing pleasing progress, gain, or improvement, with no
It sounds so simple, doesn't it? Of course we're going to acknowledge our achievements, but all too often we don't. We wait until we've achieved a big goal, like buying a house, getting engaged, graduating college or starting a new job. What about all the little achievements? How often do we stop and congratulate ourselves for all those goals and achievements that got us to where we are now, all those "baby steps" that led to quite a distance being travelled? I absolutely hat
Last spring, a Robin flew against my window in the morning, luckily the Robin survived, but strangely he didnât learn from its painful experience. The Robin immediately flew against the window again and again and again.I was truly puzzled by this little birdâs behaviour. I searched the Internet for the answer and found that Robins are very territorial birds. When a Robin sees another Robin in its breeding or feeding territory, it instinctively attacks the other bird. My w
Twenty Choices You Can Make to Increase Happiness In our pursuit of happiness we must first realize and accept that being happy is a deliberate choice; a choice we make every moment of every day. There are many strategies to help make attaining that goal possible. Following is a list of twenty: Have a Positive Outlook The first and most obvious way to increase happiness in our lives is to have a positive outlook. For the most part, being happy is less about circumstances a
Becoming a Rainmaker ISSUE: Many people relate to marketing as some "bitter pill" that must be swallowed. This is unfortunate because with the present economic climate, i.e. the decreasing volume of work and the increasing competition, business development is critical and becoming at least a moderately good rainmaker is essential. ABSTRACT The most effective approach to improving marketing skills is one that results in a fundamental shift in a person's perception of himsel
Do you ever feel lethargic and lost at work? Do you ever feel vulnerable and powerless, like a tiny cog in a huge machine? Do you wish that you could be truly happy at work? âHappiness at work is elusive,â says psychiatrist Dr. Kerry J. Sulkowicz. Sulkowicz teaches that a better goal is to enjoy your work and strive for high performance. That is more realistic. Why? Happiness is complex. It is difficult to sustain for long periods of time. It often ebbs and flows with the
I had started to lose weight in January of 2013. Going to the gym, watching what I eat, but not counting my calories. I went to Japan and when I came back I was in full swing once again. Hitting the gym 5 days a week. Exactly one year ago tomorrow, I joined MyFitnessPal. I was counting my calories and measuring my food. Making sure that every ounce was counted and logged.
Success today is not something that happens to other people; it is not out of your grasp; believe me, the deck is not stacked against you; and yes, no matter your definition, if you want it (success), you can have it! A few weeks ago I was up early fixing coffee, and I had just turned the television on. Unfortunately, it was still election season, and the first five minutes of noise I heard was nothing but commercials for candidates telling us more about why we should not vot
One day back in 1997 my phone rang. It was Dr. Arthur Caliandro, the head minister of Marble Collegiate Church in New York. Dr. Caliandro asked me if I would be interested in writing his next book with him. We met, we hit it off beautifully, and I ended up writing not one, but two books with this wonderful gentleman.nnWhen he called, he did not know that I already knew a thing or two about him. I had worked briefly at his church in the early 1980s, where I had watched him at
There were three bumper stickers on the huge, black SUV. The one I could read the most easily said, “Your mortgage is not my responsibility.” As I pulled alongside the SUV at a stoplight, I absently glanced at the driver. Fierce eyes in a scowling face met mine with such a glare that it startled me. Quickly turning away, I couldn’t help but wonder what this stranger was like with people he actually knows and actively dislikes. What misery it must be to go through life locked
Nowadays, itâs difficult to find a stable job that really pays well. In the past, people with college degrees were assured of getting hired for high-paying jobs. Today, even those with masterâs degrees find it hard to land a job. Moreover, those who have already been working for so long are also at risk of losing their career because of business volatility. On the other hand, you will be surprised that those who handle industrial sewing machine are far better off than som
Don’t think for a moment that you aren’t creative! You are creating your life right now, one day at a time. You have created our life as it is. Maybe not intentionally! But you have created it through the choices that you have made up until now. So, why not create the life you want? Everything you need to make your life what you want it to be already exists. What you must do is look at what you have and what’s around you. Then, figure out how to rearrange things from the way
I've always been a very creative person that came uprnwith some excellent ideas only to lose interest at not receiving immediaternrecompense. This made me give up and continue working at a steady job untilrnanother great idea got me up and running again. I ended up being 39 years old with a steady job but without my own company. I also saw many of my ideas come to fruition via other entrepreneurs with the same idea years later.rnI never had the attitude to believe so much in
Much of what an individual says and does emanates from their view of themselves. Their success or failures will result in their self-image. If they do not think they are good enough, the people with whom they are engaging will see that. An entrepreneur who does not show bold confidence to employees will not be able to be a good leader. An individual who does not confidently thrust his words into the conversation will be ignored. Confidence will shape everything about an indiv
Patience. A virtue much sought, a commodity to be utterly desired. Stillness of soul in the midst of turmoil, perseverance in the face of trials, undisturbed faith under the onslaught of evil. nnMaybe. Maybe not. nnMulling over the word, I found a brief flash of clarity: a redefining of my understanding, a sigh of relief for my most impatient soul. And that was in the simple translation from the Hebrew that defines patience as something slightly different -- nnLongsuffering.n
What is your attitude? When I think of attitude most of the time I think of a person that is displaying a negative or unacceptable response toward a person, place, or thing. This is according to the âLenses I view life throughâ. My lenses or worldview maybe different from yours because we all have a different perspective on life. I say, âtomatoâ, you may say âtomotoâ, this maybe a result of our backgrounds: our childhood and adulthood experiences, the environments
The more emotions she feels around you, the stronger an impression you'll make. The more interesting things she learns about you and tells you about herself, the more deeply she'll feel connected to you. And the more places she visits and things she does and sees with you, the longer she'll feel she's known you. And the longer a woman who is attracted to you has known you, the more inclined she will be to acting on that attraction and go further with you into a deeper, more "
Everyone is a trainer. Every minute of every day you're either training yourself or training others, even if it's just to maintain a habit. Let's take a closer look at that, because it's important. Your alarm goes off in the morning, and what do you do? If you're anything like me, you hit the snooze – maybe more than once. Then, too rushed for a real breakfast, you settle for a doughnut instead. Back home after a long day, and if you're a little distracted, you might forget
I am very enthused to address the topic of REJECTION! How you handle rejection is in direct proportion to how you maintain a persistent level of action in order to feel ful?lled and ?nd your WHY in life. As a super-achiever in life (which means you have your WHY in place), you are driven to ful?ll your personal goals set for you on a daily basis. In the course of this daily action, you will inevitably encounter rejection and the incredible power it exerts over you! Just when
I was the keynote speaker at the Blind Merchants Association Convention. The organizer of the event asked me if I would attend the Women’s Breakfast and maybe say a few words about entrepreneurship. I eagerly agreed to do so. I don’t know what I expected, but I didn’t expect the hotel to serve a buffet style meal for a group of blind women. I watched in absolute awe as these women with guide dogs and canes successfully maneuvered the buffet line, serving themselves and carry
Ultimate Health with the Amazing Placebo by Vince DaCosta When you got out of bed this morning your heart was pumping. Without any conscious effort, it continues to pump. It may have been pumping for quite a while. Twenty years? Forty years? Fifty or sixty years? Doesn’t matter, because you’ve never made a conscious effort to make it pump. It’s all been done by your subconscious mind. It also makes your lungs breathe, and your digestive system work. What a miracle!r
