Your feelings are essential to making the Law of Attraction work for you. It is ultimately your feelings that will control what your vibration is, and it is your vibration that you send out that does the attracting. Our current human consciousness is based upon feeling miserable. We find it ...

First off let’s define prosperity. Merriam-Webster defines it as the condition of being successful or thriving; especially: economic well-being. You could also define prosperity as excelling to the point desired. Those are good definitions, but they still do not define true prosperity. If you are to truly be prosperous in this life you must have an understanding of God’s laws natural and spiritual. Most people think they know but they don’t know what they think they know. They have a lot of information, but in all your getting get understanding.

I am reminded of a young African-American child who was raised under strict family rules. During the early teen years from middle school and throughout high school, this kid was smart yet shy and often picked on and bullied by fellow classmates and even other children in the neighborhood where he lived. He found himself constantly frustrated, depressed, and left with a very low in self-image and esteem.

Leadership development is another area of personal and professional growth that is, not surprisingly, undergoing change. What we historically attribute to leadership style is no longer working as we move further and further away from a one-size-fits-all workplace to a more collaborative culture of innovation. Historically, the ‘command-control’ leader who intimidated people into motivation was the macho style that was ‘traditional’.

You may never make the stressors in your life entirely disappear, but you can certainly get a handle on how to manage them successfully and here’s how. Know the Stress Signals: Stress signals are signs of distress. They tell you that something is wrong even when you try to ignore them. Ever ...

WHAT'S A VISION QUEST? The vision quest is a timeless spiritual practice. The traditional quest is one where the questor goes out alone in the wilderness and fasts from all familiar things---food, (sometimes water) and all communication with people for a period of days or weeks. All the great spiritual teachers, such as Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, spent time alone in nature to connect with their higher spiritual self. You've probably heard about Jesus spending 40 days in the des

The Quantum Half of Me The Wisdom of Rhiannon In Celtic Wales long, long before the Romans invaded, Rhiannon had been a Druid High Priestess. Later in Norman England Rhiannon was a healer. Still later, in Henry the eighth’s reign, Rhiannon was burned as a witch. Through her many lives Rhiannon has always been female. On the other hand I, as the lower half of this duality, have always been male. Rhiannon has always been known by the old Celtic name of Rhiannon because that is her soul name.

Take me out to the ballgame. It’s that time again – time to pull out the old baseball glove from its winter storage and rub in the oil to soften it so you’re ready for the season. I spent many an hour at the ball park with two sons playing T-ball and later baseball with one. Even a couple ...

I’ve read several articles on feminine power recently and I’ve seen groups formed online with feminine power as the title. I even participate in one on Facebook. The Dalai Lama has been quoted as saying, “the western woman will save the world”. So, is feminine power limited to women? I don’t think so. I see it as a part of being human and it is needed to balance masculine power, which is also a part of being human. There is no cut and dry explanation for how these two powers express, though there are general characteristics that define them.

There are millions of people who suffer from a very common illness. Unfortunately, most of these people who suffer from the illness are unaware of the symptoms, causes, and treatment. Many people suffer from being control freaks. Control is very much like an addiction. These people feel more alive, more powerful when they know where everything is at all times. But this is impossible, because no one can be in control all the time. There is something in nature that is called c

Stand Your Ground God is not the author of confusion and you must not loose sight of the fact that He does not work or bound by human reports. He is not in the business of deception, oppression, manipulation or afflicts anyone. He is the light, and in Him is no darkness neither shadows of turning. The Bible says you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.

Ideally holidays are meant to be happy, joyous and life-affirming times spent together. Filled with joy and gratitude, inspiring us to connect with family and friends near and far. Opportunities to catch up with what everyone is doing, their lives, their children's lives, their adventures and challenges.

Every teacher knows how hard it can be to tame an unruly classroom. We've all had the students we want to help so badly but can't because they won't allow it. These days the stress being put on education for the future of our students makes it a bit difficult to know that you're really being effective in educating future generations, but here are few sure-fire ways to make the most of your time with your students. Gaining leadership skills does take time but you can improve y

In February, 2014, I started training at an MMA (mixed martial arts) gym. At the front door of that gym, there was a poster, which said: “1 hour is just 4% of your day. So, what is your excuse not to exercise?” That statement really puts things into perspective, regardless of how busy you are. According to Nielsen Media Research, the average adult in America watches 5 hours of television a day. In my home country of Australia, the Australian Multi-Screen Report estimates that the average Australian adult watches over 3 hours of television a day.

"The creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do.” - Orison Swett Marden I want to share with you the magical art of positive jou aling. “Truth is stranger than fiction,” and the strange truth about jou aling is that it brings unexpected and profound treasures. When we journal (and I am not talking about keeping a diary of events, but about free-flowing, expressive writing) we confront those innermost workings of our being. In doing so, we are presented with three powerful gifts: - Clarity

As we grow up, we are often told "Don't ask for that", it's impolite. We are programmed to think that asking for help, support or direction means that we can't do it ourselves. And frankly this just doesn't make sense. Like many lessons that were taught to us, this is one that I think we need to out grow, and the quicker the better. Let me explain. Today I saw the quote by Shakti Gwain that said... n "You create your opportunities by asking for them" n And I believe that's t

Productivity needs to be defined as accomplishing goals and dreams, not simply being ‘so busy’. In fact, if you keep talking about how busy and time-poor you are, you will likely waste time and energy. Why? Because talking about it is revealing that you are focused on lack of time instead of focusing on where you want to go.

Stick to your resolve in spite of whatever is taking place. For if you don’t, not only will your obstacles linger longer but they will charge towards you. Just like a dog will attack you if it smells fear in you; obstacles are prone to harass you the most when they sense panic and apprehension. They usually bark first to see if you are a fun person to attack.

Nowadays it is not at all possible for taking some step in daily life without the awareness of latest news. All the current news about various fields should be read by a person if he wants to get updated about all the news. He will surely get to know all the latest happenings across the globe. Not only the news about the state or the country is delivered by these news channels, but the world news is also delivered. Before several years, news of any kind could not be obtained

I had a painful, but poignant phone conversation earlier this week with my wife Michelle. She shared some challenges with me in a vulnerable and passionate way. As I started to give her some of my "helpful advice" (as I often do - being a man, as well as an author, speaker, and coach, I'm fairly well trained at giving advice), she stopped me and said, "Can't you just give me empathy for me? That's what I really need right now. Once I feel your empathy, I can hear your feedback."

Having what you want in your life begins with you. Sometimes thoughts you're barely aware of can sabotage your best intentions. Learn the importance of waking up and a technique for banishing unwanted "thought vampires" . . .

We all know that life sometimes gets in the way of business. It's something that is totally out of our control. We may experience financial difficulties, rnfamily challenges and health concerns, that can all be distractions from your business. Yet, as life goes on, so does business. So the question is: How do you set your challenges and concerns aside? What if you knew how to stay motivated and focused? 1. Create your specific goals. It's really simple- goals help you stay mo

Does success require stress and hard work as a means to reach your goal? I say no, and there is even objective neuroscience to support my belief and experience. "Hard work and stress" is a type of paradigm or mindset. I have had conversations with several people over time regarding whether obtaining peace of mind was a hazard to ambition. I have read articles that argue that if we become peaceful we will become complacent. It is this type of belief that drives hard work as a social construct.

The Winter Olympics in Vancouver have captured the attention of the world. As a former college and professional baseball player (and a lifelong sports fan), I’ve always loved the Olympics and appreciated the incredible athleticism, competition, and passion of the athletes and teams, from a pure sports perspective.

You can Make It Happen. God gives every bird its food, but He does not throw it into the net! You have a beautiful enviable future because destiny is not a matter of chance but a matter of choice. There is something about life, if you refuse to accept anything less than the best, you very often get it. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Your thought determines the kind and quality of life you will likely enjoy.

Self-control and focus go hand in hand. Focus is the answer to all accomplishment but only if you have mastered self-control. For leaders, the key to accomplishment and staying focused is self-control. They get dragged and pulled in so many directions that it is easy for them to lose focus and run from one urgent issue or catastrophe to another. Numerous psychology research studies indicate that self-control can make a profound beneficial difference in the lives of ordinary

(c) 2005 Laurie Smith Wonders never cease. Just when those in our area of the Delaware River were beginning to recover from the recent floods, a whale arrives to shake things up. A 15-foot Beluga whale-now identified as named "Helis" and hailing from the St. Lawrence Estuary in Canada--has been spotted swimming up and down the water near Trenton, New Jersey. Passersby have gathered in the hundreds in hopes of spotting the beautiful creature. All this talk about whales had

Times have changed and leadership is undergoing an evolution. Leadership is no longer confined to those at the top of organizations, indeed it is no longer confined to those working within organizations. Leadership is becoming an essential skill for us all; it offers us many insights into how we as individuals become the leaders of our own lives, how we can harness the energy of our own internal leadership to enable us to show up with our whole selves to our lives, both professionally and personally.

Everyone is guilty of making inappropriate choices at times, based on bad information, stubbornness, or unwillingness to use critical thinking skills. There are several processing functions that can keep people from making the best choices that can be made. Pretty much everyone has made a bad choice in either their personal life or their business life. Some reasons why inappropriate choices are made stem from:

Would you like to get more followers, find your ideal customers, and reach more people with your message? Are you getting overwhelmed by the Twitter Buzz? Who would have thought that 140 characters could have such punch? Twitter is more than people posting what they are up to or what they eating. Twitter is a very effective business tool if used correctly. Twitter can do the following for you if used with intention:r

As I awake each morning, my mind tends to hurriedly wander off in anticipation of the day’s pending events. To do lists and deadlines note their urgency in my mind before my eyes even have the chance to focus. An immediate sense of panic rips through my cortex, causing me to jump to my feet and stumble to the bathroom sink where I splash cold water onto my face (much like sticking one's finger in a light socket). After a brief face making exchange with the mirror, I try to talk myself out of going to the gym while my thoughts desperately move in the direction of the coffee pot.

Do you love your body? No really, do you? If you’re a woman, chances are you don’t. Studies show that 80-90% of adult women dislike their bodies. In fact, many of them truly hate their own bodies. Women as young as five years old and as old as ninety-five, of varying ...

The perspective you've adopted for yourself, whether it came from your own opinion or the opinion of others plays a major role. You're the decision maker in your own life and how you decide to view yourself will determine if you'll live in mental freedom or be bound by the thoughts of others. The next 4 strategies show you how to shift your perspective so you can overcome inferiority complex. Strategy #1 - Focus on your strengths

September 3, 2015 The unexpected passing of Dr. Wayne Dyer has had a big impact on me. He was an amazing teacher who inspired me (and millions of others) for many years. He was also someone I was honored to have met a few times in the past few years when we both spoke at events for our publisher, Hay House.

In the past few weeks, two important people in my life suddenly passed away. These deaths have been shocking, sad, and painful for me. And, in the midst of sadness I've once again been reminded of the mystery and magic that I often experience when someone close to me dies.

Every Monday morning millions of people make resolutions in an attempt to positively change their lives. I’m going to start my diet. I’m going to get rid of my debt. I’m finally going to end this destructive relationship. I’m going to start exercising every day. The list is endless. Yet, by day’s end over half of us have already broken our resolutions, and within two months, the remaining 50% don’t fare much better. What went wrong? Some people blame their lack of success on

Although it was a beautiful sunny spring day outside, there was a dark cloud hanging over atto ey Steve and his office reflected it. Steve was the managing partner of a multiple-city law firm spread across the state. He complained about how unfocused, distracted and disorganized he felt. He was worried that the firm wasn’t going to grow and make money on his watch. Steve was also conce ed that he was not as efficient and productive as he should be which left him feeling ine

I doubt that anyone reading this article hasn't at one time or another found themselves facing a drastic drop in business. Without any warning, and for no apparent reason, inquiries for your services or products drop off and everything seems to stop. The phone stops ringing, your e-mail box has nothing but spam and it looks as if your business has literally come to an end. You can’t imagine what happened and even more important, you’re not sure what to do when your business a

No doubt you’ve heard of the ‘nothing ventured nothing gained’ adage, certainly one of the truest statements ever conceived by man.

Finance Your Dream Encouragement Speaker Derrick Hayes Is money stopping you from fulfilling your destiny? I recently read a book by Hotep called The Hustler’s 10 Commandments. The 9th Commandment is “It takes Dough To make Bread.” Most people don’t know how to raise the dough so that their ...

Do you ever stop and ask yourself how or why you just manifested something completely unwanted? The scratch on the car. The dog poo on your shoe. The delayed mail you were expecting. Whenever you stop and ask yourself “how did that happen?”, you may be completely correct in your ...

As women it seems that we can hardly learn enough about ourselves personally or professionally. We spend our entire lives learning what we should do, what we should not do, what we should say or if we should actually have said what we have already said. Most of us spend a lifetime unlea ing ...

Lack of focus is the contributing factor towards constant distractions that plague our lives. Distractions will make you unproductive and stuck with bad habits that are not a step toward progression. You may need to take an inventory of your life to see what are your time wasters; whether they ...

How gratifying it is to read a book that grabs your interest from the start and keeps you turning pages. Such books cause you to forget you’re reading; you become fully engaged with the story and characters. The movie in your mind is fluid. No matter the genre, such an experience is pure bliss for readers.

Right now our country, the world, and perhaps your own life, is in a tizzy. Things are changing faster than we can blink our eyes, and it doesn’t always appear to be beneficial. But one thing is for sure, we can pull out of this mess if we believe we can. Look at history and you’ll see we have ...

Yes, it may be hard to believe, but you can discover hidden profits in your business just by using your customer list. The stagnant economy that has plagued small business owners definitely has us seeking uncommon ways to make more profits. One thing to consider, if you’re not doing it already, is affiliate marketing. Passive income creates more profits to the bottom line without creating more work – you simply agree to showcase and promote another business or individual’s products for a percentage of their sales. Before you begin, however, it’s vital to set it up so that your passive incomer

Mastering the art of success doesn’t happen ove ight. And that’s in our favor. We’re given the opportunity to get comfortable with ourselves and comfortable in our own skin. We get to know and identify our skills, and continue to hone them. Hopefully and strategically, we learn new skills relevant to our needs. And, if we’re a business owner or entrepreneur, we also master those skills that are relevant to our clients and customers.

In my conversations with hundreds of top salespeople over the years, I have found that they all have one thing in common. They have taken the time to sit down and create a clear blueprint for themselves and their future lives. Even if they started the process of goal setting and personal ...
