Last week, my son who’s in middle school came home with a writing assignment corrected by his English teacher. In the margins were red marks with both positive comments and feedback on how to improve his paper. Ugh! How I hated getting those red marks from teachers when I was in school. But like it or not, teachers are trying to do the right thing by providing much needed feedback on the writer’s own language/thought development and the way the writer expresses those thoughts.

HAPPINESS The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.rn—M. Scott Peckr

While home with the flu this past year, I had the rare occasion to play couch potato. Momentarily sapped of my energy, I subjected myself to hours of daytime television, slipping in and out of consciousness as I endured chills and body aches. At one point, I awoke to Oprah and a show dedicated to common people struggling with the recession. One after another, audience members confessed their unique tale of woe.

The old-timers know the best. The members of the first 12 step programs worked hard and collaborated on many booklets and pamphlets. One of the efforts was the creation of a 12 step workbook. The Little Red Book* was the original book for doing the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. It was endorsed by Dr Bob as a companion to The Big Red Book, better known today as The Big Book which was written by Bill W. The little Red Book is a, simple and straight forward outline for reference and study of the mechanics of the twelve steps.

COMMITMENT

Can you get focused for 90 days? Are the goals in your life important enough to eliminate bad habits and create new, great habits? Many of us have started some form of a program to improve certain aspects in our lives. The problem is that most of us start off strong, but fail to finish. I use the power of a 90 Day Run to accomplish my goals.

"Writing down specific goals is an essential part of getting better. You have to write your goals down every day in a certain, very specific, way. Feel free to change your goals at any time if you want. They are flexible. The more goals you write each day the more you will accomplish. Write your goals in the first person and in the present tense. They can be as ambitious as you want, although you have to believe that they are possible. Aim to write at least 10-15 goals half a

When is the last time you just sat down and wrote out a list of things you wanted to do? Dare to dream a little again. Where do you want to travel? Where would you stay?

It is fine that you are passionate about your career, but life is more than just your career. I think you would agree having grand e

It takes courage and effort to get rid of old, disempowering thoughts and beliefs that hold us back, but it can be done! Not long ago, my late mother was very weak from cancer and lying in a hospital bed. My brother and I were trying to figure out how we might get her outside on a lovely day so that she could enjoy the sunshine and be in touch with nature. Mom was a little agitated, and said, "Don't be silly. I can't go outside!” My brother had the idea to roll her bed, which was on wheels, down the corridors and out the door to the hospital's grassy courtyard.

A sales professional without desire is like an engine without fuel. Even the best engine will fail to perform when it is lacking the necessary fuel. An idle engine creates no momentum. Your sales efforts need momentum, not only to get things started but to keep things moving. Desire is your secret ingredient. Deeper desires create more powerful fuel.

In the 15-years I have been a Feng Shui practitioner, I have been asked a lot of questions about “how Fen g Shui can help me make more money?” But over the past couple years, I have seen a significant increase from clients and skeptics alike wondering, “Can Feng Shui help me get a job?”

Thought and thinking 1) thinking about thinking is thought provoking 2) A Buddhist monk- a thoughtless person 3) You have nothing to deal with except your own thoughts 4) The journey of a thousand miles begins when you have a thought to take the journey— 5) One would do well to bring one’s thoughts to the heart before the mouth 6) Some thoughts come from heaven, some thoughts come from hell, and the other thoughts are of no consequence 7) For some the thought of tomorrow, is what makes today bearable

Are you a student of success? I'm guessing since you are reading this, you probably are. I have been a student of success for as long as I can remember. For decades I have asked the question, "What makes one person succeed and another person struggle?" Even in my childhood I was a virtual sponge.

I love talking with people about what they are working on and what they want from life. I'm always amazed at just how close many of us are standing to the thing that we want and don't even realize it. True, nothing is given to you unless you put forth the effort and take the steps to attain it, but attainment is a reality when you consistently move in the direction of that which you desire.

Recently I posted the following on my Facebook Fan Page:rn“Action attracts motivation. Get moving and you get motivated.” That insight was driven home while I was reading Arnold Schwarzenegger’s autobiography, Total Recall, a book I love. Even at over 600 pages, I’m reading every word of it. There are lessons on life, fitness, marketing, achievement, politics, service, and so much more. It’s fascinating. You might say — as Arnold often does about life — it’s â

If a Goal is worth setting, it's worth examining it's relationship to the values and priorities in your life. The Goal is the what, the priority and value is the why, and where it fits into your life. When you know the what and the why, the how is easy. One of the most common complaints today is overwhelm. In a world where information overload is a daily occurrence, the solution to overcoming overwhelm lies in knowing which information and which opportunities truly matter.

It has been said over and over that if you are able to visualize your goals and believe them, then over time you will achieve them. After all, man becomes what he thinks.

Most battles end up on the earth, on the land. This is not a wide generalization, this is the reality. Unless one of the first few hits tossed is so well placed that it is absolutely devastating, individuals almost always end up getting and taking each other to the earth. It’s a natural and almost irrepressible intuition to pick up your challenger, and for self-evident reasons it; it prevents them from reaching you any longer. Just look at those expert fighters today.

Today I thank Dad he gave me life and he gave me reasons to live What I learned from Dad has brought me to places I never knew I could reach. He gave me the belief that given the desire and the willingness I can achieve almost anything. Dad believed that in his heart and it got into my heart. I do not live my life as my dad envisioned but I do live my life by this guiding principle. We do not know how far we can go.

The greatest gift you can give another human being is not your love, but rather your acceptance of them as they are. If you tell someone you love them, but you consistently show them that you do not accept them, as they are, then your love becomes a burden to you both. Love without acceptance is conditional to both. Love without acceptance is disappointing to both. Love without acceptance is confusing to both. Love without acceptance is frustrating to both. Love without acceptance is painful to both.

I think that there is a key to happiness. However, it's based upon what your needs and desires are at the time. For example, if someone is feeling overweight and self-conscious about themselves, they are not going to be happy in that moment. It's only when they are comfortable or pleased with that area of their life that they perceive they are happy. For some, it’s managing their weight or body. For others it could be having the right relationship. Others want a better career. For many it's a financial issue.

As we go through life, we all remember those little voices in our head that we attached to a belief somewhere in our life. This article is about getting them under control. We remember those beliefs as: 1. Never ask anyone about money. 2. Eat all your food. Kids are starving in the world. 3. You will never be able to make that. You don’t have enough training. 4. You don’t know enough people. You’re too new to this town. 5. Never be a pushy salesperson. They make people mad. 6. Don’t trust anyone. Everyone lies. 7. Never talk about religion.

You have to determine the people who are regarded as the best in your line of work, and decide to model them. You don’t have to be like them, but you can study and learn from them. If you associate with people who are not goal and success orientated, that alone can prevent you from achieving goals in your life and the success you desire.

Wriiten in The 20's by Emmet Fox still right on today.

Can you really achieve your money, health, relationship and other goals effortlessly or do you have to struggle? Can move in a way that guarantees that your goals are achieved, or are you at the mercy of luck? Yes, you can achieve your goals effortlessly. As much as your logical mind may tell you that effortless goal achievement is impossible, that is still a conditioned belief. For evidence, look to nature. How do you suppose a tiny seed grows into a giant tree with no con

What are your goals and dreams? What do you aspire to or hope for? Goals help turn these “wishes” into reality. You can have what you desire with some planning and that is what goal setting is all about. Goal setting gives you the necessary confidence you need to know that you can have anything in life that you want. What is a goal? It’s a dream with a deadline. Why should you set goals?

When we struggle with accomplishing a goal we really want to achieve, it can leave us perplexed. When you think about it, why, if we really want the goal, do we not achieve it? What is holding us back? Is it our fault or not? What is the barrier that is stopping us from breaking through with our goals?

These days everyone is looking for a competitive edge. The enlightened entrepreneur understands and conforms with two universal laws: The Law of Fair Exchange and The Law of Appreciation. The Law of Fair Exchange enforces our activity. We must give something in return for what we want in life and the exchange must be fair. In the simplest form, we exchange money for goods and services. If we pay too much, we will feel the inequity and we will not return to that business.

Planning is a critical piece of the puzzle in reaching your goals. Planning makes you more productive, because you have written down, and know exactly, what the major and the minor tasks are that you must accomplish each day.

4 WAYS THAT GOAL SETTING AFFECTS OUTCOMES 1. Choice: Goals separate beneficial choices from counter-productive choices. I.E. Drinking beer the night before a 10K run is counter-productive, therefore the choice is easier to make NOT to drink beer. 2. Effort: If you are focussed on a goal, the white noise of life becomes less distracting and you are able to put more energy into your goal. 3. Persistence: Goals provide know “outcomes”. Knowing an outcome will add extra drive to sometimes arduous tasks leading to ones goal.r
