Motivation Articles

By Ron Ross My neighbor came charging across the street. His eyes bulged out and his fists were clenched as he came screaming into my yard, “Why the ____ did you call the cops on me?” “Because you cannot keep you dogs from barking and the entire neighborhood is fed up with it,” I said in as quiet a voice as I could, hoping to calm him down. It did not work. He kept yelling at me and threatening my life. The guy had anger fever and the temperature was not going down.

One of the secrets to wealth is to THINK BIG! The fact is that very few people “think” big and even fewer “play” big. So why don't people want to “play big”? Usually, it’s because they believe they can't handle “big” or they don't want to handle it. Why? Because “big” often equals big responsibilities, big hassles and big problems.nnOne of the biggest differences between rich people and poor people is that highly successful people are bigger than their p

Live With Purpose By Dr. Ron Ross Who am I and why am I here? Those are the two most important questions you can ask yourself. Question 1: Who am I? Some say you’re the product of a bit of slime that squirmed its way out of some prehistoric bog and evolved from this to that, then to something else until one day, some fifty-million years later, “YOU” appeared. That’s the good news. The bad news is that after fifty-million years of evolution, you are allowed only seven or eight wearying decades until someone sticks you back into the bog you allegedly came from. What a deal!

People without purpose are not living they are only existing. They are like a rudderless ship on a vast ocean driven hither and yon by the winds and tides. They wonder what the heck happened in the past while they wander aimlessly into the future. On the other hand, people with a purpose are established, focused and useful. Author and management expert Gary Hamel wrote, “A noble purpose inspires sacrifice, stimulates innovation and encourages perseverance.”

These past few days I have been having second thoughts whether to invest big money on Solo Ads, I noticed that a few solo ads seller are charging double than what the rest are charging. Though I do notice that they are really good at what they do, I was impressed when I read their sales copy and how many great testimonials they have. Still, the price of their solo ads are more than double of the average sellers that I used to purchase advertisement from and that led me to having second thoughts on whether or not I should invest my money on this particular seller.

When you’re lucky enough to experience a rare occurrence where your natural gifts and skills lend themselves to a moment of grace, you experience a profound change. It can feel mysterious and awesome all at the same time. The key is to discover and nurture your natural gifts and skills so you create a life fertile for these breathtaking moments of grace. I’d like to share with you a special quote from writer Anne Lamott: "I do not at all understand the mystery of grace- o

For weeks now I have been writing about anger and how it can destroy your relationships. To help you deal with your anger by speaking out using appropriate words and communication techniques I have developed an acrostic from the word S-P-E-A-K. The acrostic looks like this: S - Supervise yourself first. P – Ponder appropriate responses E – Explain how you feel A – Apply listening skills And last, K - KNOW HOW FAR TO GO AND WHEN TO STOP. This is a matter of wisdom and experience.

To accomplish anything in life you need a driving force. You need something that pushes you along the path that we have chosen. Wishing to have or accomplish something is not going to get you moving, as wishing is a passive behavior that lacks the strength to cause you to act. What you need is a force that causes you to take action. That force is motivation. Often when you set goals you find yourself highly motivated to accomplish them at the outset. In the beginning you go

Do you want to discover your true life’s purpose? More ease? Maybe even more money? I have one simple answer, so simple you’ll push it away thinking that it could never work. Here it is:nnStop judging yourself. That’s it. End of story.nnOh, you have questions? Of course, just like me.nnWhen you stop judging yourself, you can listen to inspiration. You can hear the voice of love, choice, wisdom and true direction. Or you can listen to self-judgment, a voice of attack, li

HOW TO CONQUER ANALYSIS PARALYSISnDr Kem ThompsonnnnThere's a condition that holds a lot of people back from nprogressing towards their goals.

Now that you have discovered and refined your purpose for living it is time to prepare for action. This is an important step. Do not deceive yourself that just because you have defined your purpose for living that everything from now on will be downhill.

Think About What You Think About By Dr. Ron Ross The trip to Santa Monica (Califo ia) Beach was supposed to be fun; but for this six-year-old boy from Colorado, it was not. I had never seen an ocean, did not know how to swim, and after I waded a few steps into the gentle waves discovered I never wanted to go there again.

Most people start out working on their success development with enthusiasm and energy. But many people find it hard to keep up the motivation and to maintain momentum. Generally, it is not because they are lazy or do not have a strong desire to succeed. More often, they are lacking motivation because they do not have self-motivation strategies in place. Here are some reasons why you could lack motivation: Lack of direction. Do you know where you are going? Have you sat down a

Have you ever wondered why lots of mountaineers are dying to reach the peak of whatever mountains they climb? If you will notice, these mountaineers are those people who can afford in life, meaning they belong to a well off citizen. In fact, they can invest on different gadgets and climbing expedition no matter how much cost. Some of them for sure, can even afford to rent a helicopter and ask the pilot to land them on top of the mountain. If that is really their goal, they sh

The other day I stopped at the local gas station to fuel up my new all electric car. No, that’s not a typo. The Fisker Karma is all electric, but uses a gas generator to power the electric motor when the stored electricity runs out. So you have to put fuel in it sometimes. It’s possible to never use gas, if you drive locally (50 mile range per charge). Don’t worry your head about it, though. That’s not the point of this post. While there, a fellow asked me about the c

News is collection of information about any particular topic or incident. People watch or read news living in different parts of nation. So, national and Hindi news should be presented in several languages like Hindi, English and more. English News and Hindi Newspapers are viewed more by the people all around the world.

Each of you was born with everything you need to excel in your life. Yes I used the word excel; not settle into, not just get by, not struggle with… I used excel. My definition of this word is: go beyond, be better than, do more, climb higher, run faster, go farther, and more... and do all this easily and effortlessly. It is not that you do all these things in comparison to someone else, it is that you do way more than you thought you could. You allow your expectations to be unlimited and see just how far you can go.

The greatness of an individual lies not in what he accumulates but what he gives. Jesus is great because he suffered on the cross so that we are saved. Gandhi was great as he fought for freedom and equality. Mother Teresa was great as she spent her life serving poor, sick and destitute.nnYou need not be someone of great means to give. A lamp burns its own existence till the last moment to fight darkness and give light. Tree never asks anything for itself, but give flowers, fr

Do you ever wonder why people who have all the knowledge in the world continue to make bad choices? Why others seem to be able to easily overcome any obstacle and any challenge with which they are faced? Why some people can easily ignore their sweet tooth, and others who truly want to ignore it succumb? Yeah, me too! I wonder about that and I am curious about this word we call motivation.rn rnYesterday I had my perfect day. I had one goal: to relax. So I spent the day hiking,

The first powered airplane took flight on December 17, 1903 on a wind-swept beach in North Carolina. Bicycle shop owner brothers Orville and Wilber Wright had long been testing theories of powered flight and on this day, their hard work paid off. Orville piloted the first flight that lasted only 12 seconds and covered a mere 130 feet, but their theory was proven. Powered flight was possible. Their success gave them the courage to take three more flights that day.

Believe it or not, it is within your power to create positive thoughts allowing you to accomplish anything you set out to do. Can you really think yourself happy? The answer is a qualified yes. Here are the ways in which positive thoughts can help you accomplish many things in life.nnPositive thoughts produce positive results. We can either bemoan our situation, or change it. We can be negative about an event or enthusiastic. President Lincoln once said, “Most folks are abo

What makes one person confident and another one insecure? Money makes some people think they are invincible. The idea is, the more money they have the more secure their life is. Remember Be ard Madoff? He "managed" millions of dollars for thousands of people who put their trust in money. When his elaborate Ponzi scheme was uncovered in 2008, he, and all of his investors lost it all.

Born blind in the remote mountains of Buner to an underprivileged family, Mohammad Iqbal entered the world with all the odds against him. With no institutions to facilitate him, Iqbal was raised and learned everything he knew from his vigilant parents, sibling and by listening to the radio and television. When he was 18-years-old he was tuned into a radio show where a teacher who educated the blind happened to be speaking. Iqbal knew this was his call, and he contacted the te

I walked out of our backdoor last Sunday with a troubled mind, two hours of free time, and a thirty pound toddler on my back. Four miles later, my shoulders were sagging, but my heart was lighter, my mind was clear, and I knew what I needed to do. I guess you could say that I went looking for God and found a Red Tail Hawk. It is October, almost November. The prairie air is crisp and cool, and the tall grass blankets the hills in golden-brown. Seeds and sumac leaves tumble

It’s too easy to be ordinary. Or perhaps I should say it’s easier to be ordinary. Why would you want to be or do average when you can always be so much more? nnWhen I was in school I always got A’s or B’s. Was it easy? No. I could have been average and gotten C’s but why would you want to be average? Anyone can be average. I’m not average, I’m me and there is no other me but me. Isn’t that the same for all of us? We are all unique and we can all be extraordina

She: “You hang up first.” He: “No, you hang up first!” She: “No, YOU hang up first.” If you are over 50 years old you might remember that little game teenagers played back in the 50s, 60s and 70s. A boyfriend would call his girlfriend, then after 45 minutes or maybe a couple of hours on the phone, one of their mothers would chide them into hanging up, and the game would begin. Back then parents got upset about the unending phone conversations, but no parent worried that their teenager was lonely because he or she spent too much time on the phone.

What is the difference between effectiveness and efficiency? There are a variety of subtle differences as well as some basic ideas to consider. The definition of effective reads “producing a decided, decisive, or desired effect.” The word efficient is defined as “productive of desired effects and productive without waste.” The term efficiency is usually associated with machinery or science. When an inanimate object is performing its function as directed, it is often said to b

Are the thousands of thoughts that go through your mind every day weighted in the affirmative or the negative? It is tragic that for most people the majority of their thoughts are negative or disempowering - fear, doubt and blame thoughts. They believe their negative thoughts more than their affirmative, empowering ones and give them more attention, energy and power. Where your thoughts go, there goes your life. Your dominant thoughts determine what shows up in your life. The

In the first months of the current economic crisis, I felt pretty removed from the situation. It was something I read about in the New York Times and heard way too much about on Marketplace.? In the last few weeks, however, the reality of economic depression has moved closer and closer to home, as media clichés about Wall Street vs. Main Street give way to kitchen table conversations about deferred dreams and hard decisions. ??

How Much Do You Weigh in Emotional Pounds? “We are injured and hurt emotionally, not so much by other people or what they say and don’t say, but by our own attitude and our own response.”rn—Maxwell Maltz In spite of the fact that half of North Americans are overweight and that losing weight is often the number one thing we can do to improve our health, our energy and our longevity, this article is not about physical pounds.

Success is not an accident. It takes planning, effort and discipline. One way for you to seek your own personal success is to ask the right questions. When you ask the right questions you have a better chance to get the right answers. The kinds of questions I refer to are not mathematical equations or esoteric inquiries about the origin of the universe. I’m referring to questions about how you live your daily life. About what you think about, how you view your life, how you think and speak about yourself and your situation.

Take a moment to consider how your day flows along with seemingly little effort when you wake up in a good mood. Conversely, on those mornings when you awaken with a rough start, things can sometimes seem to spiral from one undesired event to the next. Is this just coincidence? Are the events of your day, whether perceived as positive or negative, preordained somehow? Or is a positive outlook a choice we make on a day to day basis which, rather than influencing the events of

What is your definition of success? There is nothing more personal than the definition of success. Quite honestly, the dictionary definition is inadequate, and though your mother’s opinion is probably still important, only you can define success for you! And that definition can change literally from day to day and even moment to moment. If you’re broke, success equals wealth. If you’re sick, success equals health. If you’re lonely, success equals friendship. If you’re homeless, success equals a place to live. If you’re lost, success equals being found.

I believe that it is a good idea to periodically let go of beliefs and energies that no longer serve you.
