What is your experience in your own head like? Do you have a series of tapes playing over and over (and they aren’t saying the nicest, most productive things!)? Does it feel like a band of monkeys (aka “Monkey Mind”) are swinging from the trees in an insane Muppet-like manner? Almost everyone has experienced this at some time or another…but what I’m asking you is do you feel like this a lot? Does it sometimes feel like you are a prisoner in your own head?

Graphic designing is a highly creative field in which designers work with texts, images, colours, patterns, and combine them to convey a particular idea. This conveying of a particular message, informing people about the product, to persuade them to buy it through attractive designs is a job entrusted with a talented graphic designer. Graphic design plays a huge and a very important part in the advertising and marketing activity of a business organization. Designers use their

In the early 16th century, a Spanish conquistador led an expedition that caused the fall of the Aztec Empire and brought large portions of mainland Mexico under the King of Castile. He was a part of those that began the Spanish colonization of the Americas. His name was Hernando Cortez. There is famous story about Hernando Cortez that I would like to share with you, of course whether it's completely accurate or not seems to be of some debate, but the point we can illustrate is without a doubt beneficial. Spring of 1519:

Picture an iceberg in your mind. Imagine, you are on a ship sailing towards an iceberg that is off in the distance. What exactly do you feel as it looms ever larger? How much of the iceberg is above water and how much of the iceberg is below water? There are many different metaphors used to ...

Many people who want to be successful spend a lot of time reading motivational books and articles. You probably do too. You want to know what qualities are required for success. When we read about the tools required to achieve success, very often we are told that if we really want to be successful, we must have persistence. Persistence is the quality of never giving up when we encounter challenges. Of holding on to our dream. Of refusing to be discouraged no matter what the o

The Importance of Diversity in Business: In today's ever expanding global market place an understanding of diversity is perhaps more important than ever. Knowing your organization's attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors about diversity can lead to greater business success.

I once attended a seminar where I found myself disappointed and elevated by excitement simultaneously. I went to this seminar ready to be blown away by some fairly popular speakers and entrepreneurs. However, when it came time to listen to the first keynote (who I was pumped about hearing) I ...

Have you ever seen a bricklayer do their job? Initially, you can’t really tell what they’re building. The first brick is put in place. Just one. And then the second and so on. It appears so small and insignificant at first and then over time it becomes something, a fence, a wall, a house, a school, or even a building. It rises to significance from a very humble beginning.

There are some two very simple questions which, once you get their answers, can change your life dramatically for the better. This is so because these two questions relate to absolutely everything that you experience and create in your life. Everything in this universe runs under universal laws that never err even once. To be in the flow - to live in harmony with these laws - leads you to being all-round prosperous. Such harmony results in effortless well-being and prosperit

When you take a look at the goals you have set for your business and your life, do you sometimes feel overwhelmed? Does it seem like a very large leap to get there from where you are today? Don't worry. You don't need to try to get there in one big leap. Your journey to success will be a progression of thousands of little steps. It's like eating an elephant.

Mastering the art of influence involves simply guiding other people’s attention, and the most powerful tool – which you already own! -- is your use of language. Your language is like a spotlight that directs WHAT others notice and – more importantly -- HOW they notice. Compare these two experiences, and see the difference… One: You are at a seminar in a hotel conference room. The speaker in the front of the room projects a picture on the wall, and wants you to notice something. He takes out a laser pointer and aims it at what he wants you to see.

Do you really think you are not good enough? Do you criticize yourself? Do you give yourself a hard time or punish yourself with harsh words or thoughts? Do you beat yourself up when you feel you have done something wrong? Do you get angry at yourself? Do you speak to your friends better than you speak to yourself? The most common belief I have found in working with people is the fear that ' I am not good enough'. Does this sound like you? If you believe this, ask yourself for whom? And according to whose standards? What aren’t you good enough for?

Whatever The Mind Can…… Conceive It Can Achieve. (W. Clement Stone 1902-2002) Today I am thinking about how I have learned to dream big, as big as I can imagine. I have learned that from The Secret, and those teachings that I have studied using The Universal Laws. Thinking and dreaming big have ...

In his poem The Road Not Taken Robert Frost compares Life to a road in the woods. . . . Some paths are clear and smooth; others are bumpy and filled with obstacles.

Relate to this? A worker sitting at his/her desk and imaging how life would be better almost anywhere but right there - feeling unsatisfied with the present situation but also not knowing how to break free. Now ask yourself: Why anyone would settle for the mediocre and mundane? True, there are often obstacles to happiness: responsibilities to family; not having enough money; not enough time; being too old or young; not having enough education and etc. But are these problems

Some years ago we were traveling through Boston Airport. On the wall, and it was a huge wall, there was a colossal American flag. Whiling away the time before our flight, this obviously caught the imagination of one of the children. ‘What’ they said in a loud voice that seemed to fill one of those silences you occasionally get in public places, ‘do the stars and stripes mean?’

The first step to using Law of Attraction as presented in the movie The Secret is to clarify exactly what you want. Remember—determine, write down and talk about what you do want, not what you don’t want. Be as specific as possible. Once you have clarified what you want, do the ...

So many of us feel guilty about taking time for ourselves. The very words self care or self nurturing sound selfish. We feel guilty and selfish because we don’t understand the difference between self care/self nurturing and self indulgence. Self indulgence is similar to narcissistic behavior. What is narcissism? The online American Heritage Dictionary defines narcissism as a “psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem.”

Times are tough and many people are struggling to stay optimistic given the state of the economy, the insecurity of their jobs (if they have one), the size of their mortgage and the strain that puts on relationships at home. Maybe you are one of them or maybe you know someone else who is having it tough.

"Oops! ...I Did It Again” Yes, I did it again! I didn’t trust my gut and got lost in someone else’s game. My natural sixth sense kicked in. It’s one of the reasons I’ve been able to make better decisions, avoid some of the “Ugly Stuff” & sometimes people that aren’t necessarily “Pretty”. Why was this time so different? I allowed someone to come into my space, knowing darn well I shouldn't have. Has that ever happened to you? You know darn well you shouldn’t do something. You know you're not supposed to do it. You feel uncomfortable inside. Yet, you ignore Y.O.U.

It never ceases to amaze me how we continue to punish ourselves and hold onto resentments for things which have happened in the past. We carry these bad feelings around with us like painful baggage for years and years and often deny ourselves the life we truly deserve to live as deep down, we feel like ‘bad’ people and that we don’ t deserve good things.

The purpose of your life becomes important as you get older. This is especially true when a person matures from imitating their heroes and mentors. Just as Oprah stated in an interview, she realized she could be a much better Oprah instead of trying to be a Barbara Walters. When we reach this point, we focus more on having a vision for our lives.

A study recently came out that says Darwin may have been wrong about "survival of the fittest". This information came from researchers at the University of Bristol in England that was published in Biology Letters. They say finding the right "living space" may be more important than natural selection. Of course, there are many other scientists charging that the data this study is based on is being misinterpreted. Or that perhaps, even that the data itself is wrong. What it does support for me, is how it is really important for people to ensure they find the right "pond" to live in...

1. Now is the time to be honest with yourself and others. If you're trying to revitalize yourself, you have to be honest about what is and is NOT working in your life. Self-deception is like driving around in circles: you're moving, but you're not getting anywhere. 2. The only person you can change is yourself. It's impossible to change others, so don't waste time trying. Focus on the changes YOU want to make. Focus on YOUR goals. Others will either follow your lead... or they won't.

Whether you’re a student, family member, employee, entrepreneur or business owner -- somewhere along the way you have or will be asked to focus your interests and goals to define the direction your life will take. Many have faced this moment more than once in their lives. A change in education, marital status, job, or income can bring about real challenges in a person’s life. How to handle this change can be the beginning of understanding what is important to you, what you are meant to do, and believing what you are capable of achieving.

As suspected serial rapists or killers, people like Phillip Garrido (accused in kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard), Rodney Alcala (aka the Dating Game Serial Killer), and Philip Markoff (aka craigslist killer) are getting a lot of attention these days. From repulsion about what was done to their victims to curiosity about who these monsters are - they are the talk of the town. But mostly, I think there is dread that people like them even exist and conce about how to keep them away from loved ones. If I had my way there would be no sexual predators out there to worry about.

Results from Creative Conflict Resolutions’ Passive Aggressive Test shows that 80% men prefer to “clam up” and hide their true thoughts from their wives. Is this you? A very common way of describing “clamming up” is to say that it is self-protection, and as the husband, you see it as a good way to avoid conflict altogether: if you don’t say what you really think, you can’t get in trouble, right? The problem is that avoiding conflict in this way blocks self-expression, and ends up making strangers of two people who should be aiming at self-discovery and mutual appreciation.
