Is There A Key To Happiness?

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.

The Enlightened Entrepreneur

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.

4 WAYS THAT GOAL SETTING AFFECTS OUTCOMES

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

Practical Intuition

When my son was about 2 years old I took him to his daycare center where he had been going for about a year. One day we visited the new toddler room that he would be attending the following week. He hesitated to walk into that new room and held tightly onto my hand (which was quite unusual behavior for him). It took him several minutes before he would let go and explore his new surroundings. My practical mind told me that he was just being an average child who is cautious about entering a new environment.

Use It or Lose It: Maintain Your Competitive Edge As You Age

If you believe that accelerated loss of your mental acuity is inevitable with age, and that the loss of your competitive edge is certain to accompany that memory loss, you're not alone. But you are wrong. Age does have some effect on memory, but it's not an especially significant factor. Nonetheless, people tend to use their age as an excuse for poor or weakened performance. In fact, the opposite is true: For most people in business, the prime earning years are their 40s and 50s because they have invaluable maturity and experience.

Question Your Way to Success

I've come to believe that we are intelligent. By that I mean that part of us is part of a creative intelligence that created the universe. That intelligent part of us is the source of true inspiration. It is the source of major achievement because it gives us the vision of our heart's desire.
