Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. Are You a Quitter or a Winner? By : Carla McNeil Do you run away from the challenges in your life or do you face them head on and say "bring it on". Unfortunately many people have been taught to make decisions based on fear, it is their default. What is your default? I have had the privilege of entering a totally new environment in my mid 30's, I learned how to scuba dive. Very shortly after I was certified I took a diving holiday to the Caribbean. Before my first dive I was informed that barracuda run/swim away from scuba divers, they are more afraid of us than we are of them. Being Tough Means Choosing The Right By : Johnny Cyreous However If you were to look at your life you would see that tough times rarely do last forever. They are cyclical. They come and they go. It is with this inference in mind that Schuler speaks. Of course, every individual experiences life differently and if one lives life unwisely, they will suffer more than the next. Though external circumstances play a role, we have a lot to do with how tough life becomes for us. For example, life would surely be tough if one were sick all the time with influenza and bleeding body sores and waves of nausea and vomiting – yet one could bring these conditions upon themselves by contracting the HIV virus through living promiscuous lives. Believing In Your Abundance By : Gary Evans “You’re no good at this... Who do you think you are?... Don’t be so stupid... Be realistic... You can’t earn money doing what you enjoy... You’ve got financial responsibilities... Get real... You’re not one of the lucky ones… Just give up!” Building Self Confidence - For A Lifetime Of Achievement By : Richard Milazzo If you think about all your abilities, from tying your shoe laces, to driving a car, designing a building, making new friends or speaking in public, the one common element to all ability is frequent and consistent application of the same activity.

Change Your Life In 5 Minutes By : Chuck And Nita What follows are the reasons that top business owners have identified as the reasons that people fail at home businesses. See if you can identify any of these traits in yourself and make the change toward a success oriented behavior. Deadly Conditions: Low Confidence Can Be Lethal By : Shanat Kuphur It is something that any and everyone requires to succeed in life. A person that has confidence can succeed in his objectives. Self-confidence is something that has to be created in order to accomplish something or anything that is desired. Once you have developed self-confidence your goal is half achieved. So a person must have confidence, as it acts as a lethal weapon in reaching ones goal. Don't Stop! Stay Motivated! By : Ronnie Nijmeh The lack of a follow through can really set you back further and cause others around you to perceive that you don't care enough or don't have the drive to get things done. Usually it's not that you don't care, chances are, you just can't keep yourself motivated to see it to the end of the project. If this is the way you are, you can change the way you approach things. Dreams Of Financial Goals By : Aaron Kirk Your WHY is the reason why you want to be successful. The reason why you start a business. “I want to make money you dummy!” That’s probably what your thinking to yourself right now, right? Well that’s not good enough! That’s right your going to have to do a lot better than that. Everyone wants to make money and as you can see, not everybody is successful with their money making ventures. That’s just not specific enough. You have to have a compelling reason that’s pushing you forward with a force so great that it will push you right through the walls in your path and right over the obstacles in your way. Escape From the Workplace With Positive Imagery By : Shannon M. Clooney Positive imagery is the process of seeing yourself in a positive, relaxed, state of mine through your minds eye. When you use positive imagery you can stop any time and imagine yourself being peaceful and surrounded by positive energy. When you do this you are recreating your reality for yourself instead of continuing on the road to hysteria as you become more stressed out, angry, sad, or overwhelmed. Positive imagery really can work wonders for you, every day. The power of positive imagery really is amazing and for most people it is something they have to experience to truly understand. Find Your Foundation By : Angelo Campione Well... here's the thing, if you want to begin to lay your foundations, it's time to begin looking at your circumstances and constructively assess what you can do to help yourself, rather than hoping or wishing that something external to you will change. GAD By : Shanat Kuphur Anxiety can be a boon for you when it is at a certain level where it guides you towards your goals but it can be a fatal disease if it happens to go over the normal level, then you are in for trouble and appropriate treatment can help you overcome it. A person will find many problems such as tension, frequently going to bathroom, headaches, stomachache, restlessness, irritability, assuming unwanted risks and many more to follow. All these are mind blocks where your mind is forced to think negatively. Goal Setting: Everything You Weren By : Joshua White It’s been proven by Harvard University that people who write their goals down are twice a likely to obtain their goals. But there’s a flaw in the way most people write their goals. Most lists of goals state: “lose 30 pounds,” “get a promotion,” “make a million dollars,” “buy a new 3000 sqft. House,” “trip to Europe,” trip to Hawaii”, “new 50 inch TV”, “new cloths”, “new furniture”, and “a new car,” etc. Some people might even go as far as to have a picture of the exact item they want and look at it every day. Goal Setting? Too Boring... By : Ricky Roberts Really the only losers that want to set goals and create business plans are those geeky types like at Apple, IBM, or Microsoft right? We don’t want to be like them do we? They waste hours and days with production schedules and writing out timelines and lots of other boring stuff like that. What do these people know?

If You Don By : Waheguru Ji He makes less than $40,000, so he enters that door, only to find out himself face to face with two more doors. The door on the left is marked “saves more than $2,000 a year”, and the one on the right is marked “saves less than $2000 a year.” Is Anyone Ever Really Happy? By : Ronnie Nijmeh So many of us question our happiness or our lives and wonder if this is the real thing or if we could improve upon it in any way. The fact of the matter is that a lot of people are happy and you have the ability to be happy, as well. That's right, you have the ability to be happy, meaning it's an active choice you have to make. Just Keep Moving By : Suzi Elton 1.) It means that continuing to take action is the only answer. Make the decision that you aren't going to give up on your life--without a fight.

Motivate Yourself to Eat Healthy By : Ronnie Nijmeh If we indulged every once in awhile it probably wouldn't be that big of a deal, but too many of us indulge in these foods all the time and we are paying for it in the way of declining health and weight gain. Poor diet has even been linked to depression, so eating healthy really is important. Healthy affirmations can help your eating habit improve and can lead to a healthy lifestyle starting today! Motivation By : Shanat Kuphur Motivation will act as a path to success for any person whatever his intentions are. Motivation can be used in the office to get the best results from employees. This is because an employee that is well motivated and has good intentions will surely be a huge asset for the organization that he is working with. A motivated employee will be far more productive than the ones that are suppressed or unconfident. However you cannot ask for best of results from your employees without rewarding them for their hard work put in. Motivational Keynote Speaker Tips By : Jesse Smith A motivational keynote speaker mostly starts the proceeding for a role, be it a league, convocation or a political propaganda. He must guarantee that his address gets the audience upward and involves them in the remainder of the case. In most cases, a better keynote address bodes a productive streak for the case. This makes the keynote motivational speaker one of the almost significant entities in the case.

These quotes are capable of instilling you with positive energy and zest. You will definitely feel changed up once you read them. Resolutions And Why They Fail By : Glenn Antoine Did you realize that for the average person starting on a new workout program they are looking at about a 6 week transition period? And further more, during this transition phase all of the things that you hear about feeling better, having more energy, reducing stress in your life, when engaged in a workout program simply isn’t true. The reasoning behind this is that your body simply doesn’t know what to do with all of this new activity. In many cases you have just transitioned from sedentary lifestyle to an active lifestyle and your body doesn’t like it because it is change. Rule 22: Separate the “Anxiety” From “Separation Anxiety” By : L. Lowell We moved to a new house this year, which meant moving our four-year-old son, Alexander, to a new preschool. Alex was so enthusiastic about the move that for weeks before, he kept telling everyone that “today” was his “last day.” When the big day did come, and we walked into the new school, Alex immediately took to exploring the room. He barely gave me a kiss goodbye, and one of the teachers remarked on how smoothly that had gone. Rule 23: Have Sex By : L. Lowell Have Sex! Make Love! Cuddle! Do all of the above! Look… men and women are, shall we say, different. Keeping your partner happy contributes to your happiness which, in turn, contributes to the attitudes and mood you share with your children. And a happy attitude goes a long, long way when it comes to raising happy kids. Rule 24: Plan a Power Lunch By : L. Lowell Forget taking that all-important client to the newest bistro to schmooze and impress – the idea of a “power lunch” takes on a whole new meaning for working moms. You’ve got a lot to do to balance your career, your household and your personal time. So get creative with your lunch hour and use the time to tackle things that take time away from your family and friends after work. Rule 25: B Sur Ur Kds No U Hav a Lif By : L. Lowell You’re thinking to yourself, “My kids know I have a life. I work. I pay the bills. I keep them in juice boxes (or Juicy Couture, depending on the age group).” Nope. Chances are, they do not know. Trust me. I have a job. I write two different blogs, and I am a contributing author to two books. I have another home-based business. Plus, I belong to a fabulous book club and numerous other organizations. I, too, thought my kids knew I had a life outside of them and their self-centered, teenage planets. Rule 26: Focus By : L. Lowell One day when I was trying to do too many things at one time including getting him a bowl of ice cream for dessert. Apparently it wasn’t working for him. He looked directly into my face and said “focus!” I laughed it off at the time thinking it was just a cute comment, but I found myself hearing that little voice in my head over and over again, especially when I was trying to do too much. Rule 28: Dare to Compare By : L. Lowell Comparison is comfortable. We compare prices and nutrition labels at the grocery store. I certainly compared my babies to my friends; percentiles, sleeping habits, first words and steps. It was not a far slide into comparing myself to other moms – unfortunately with an obscured view. Rule 29: Don’t Let Yourself Go By : L. Lowell During my pregnancy, I was finishing up an internship, and working a private practice to become a psychotherapist. I had supervision twice a week, group therapy and individual therapy once a week. Needless to say, I had a lot of emotional support! I took great pride in my clothes and make-up and got my hair and nails done on a regular basis. While I have struggled with my weight my whole life, I have always tried to look as good as I could at whatever weight. I loved being pregnant because I didn’t have to hide. Rule 30: Put on Your Oxygen Mask First By : L. Lowell Have you been on a plane with your kids and heard the flight attendant tell you to put on your oxygen mask first? The immediate response is, “No way, I need to take care of my kids (husband, mother, best friend, stranger in the seat next to me…). The idea is contrary to instinct. Rule 31: Volunteer Your Way By : L. Lowell It’s important to be involved with your children’s activities: school, church, dance, drama or sports. You don’t want to be the only parent who meets the teacher for the first time at back-to-school night or open house. You want to make a positive impression with the important people that influence your children. You want to be able to have an open dialog at any time with these influencers, as well as with your children. The trick is to do it on your terms in a way that works for you and your family. See The Opportunity By : Johnny Cyreous There are a lot of great quotes about opportunity out there, and we have used some of them already at http://cyreousquotes.com, but let me tell you why this one is especially useful. It compares the pessimist with the optimist. No judgments passed; just a line drawn in the sand; and an opportunity to examine your self. On which side of the line do you fall? Self Motivation, You Have To Have It To Succeed By : Stephen Meyer This first tip is one of the hardest for many people because it involves your pride. You are putting yourself on the line and doing anything other than what you promised can mean failure to yourself. This tip is to involve others in your project. Even those of us who live very Hermit like lives know people we can involve. They can be personal friends, people in our neighborhoods, family and those we have occasional casual conversations with. By telling these people what you are doing and by setting a date for completion you are placing expectations in the minds of your friends and family. Self-Motivation - You Have the Power Within You to Succeed By : Scott Barker Self motivation is the ability to motivate yourself, to find a reason and the necessary strength to do something, without the need of being influenced to do so by another person. Inner peace has nothing to do with externals, which is why self motivation techniques fill a necessary gap. Several Methods to Promote Positive Thinking By : Robert Kokoska Positive thinking has always been beneficial to us; when our attitude and behavior is positive, we allow only pleasant feelings and emotions and constructive images to work in our mind, and also visualize in our inner eye, what we really want from our life and how it should happen. Such an attitude will attract good things like an enhanced inner energy level, catchy manners, twinkling eyes and success. A person with positive thought will walk and talk in an upright manner without any hesitation. The ultimate body language shows a tremendous capacity to achieve all things, which are considered impossible in the normal course of life. Staying Motivated After Eight Hours on the Computer By : Shannon M. Clooney It can be hard to stay motivated when you work on the computer, but it doesn't have to be impossible. You need to start small by coming to the computer with a great attitude every day. When you come to the computer with a can-do attitude you will find that your workdays go by a lot faster. If you come in thinking that you cannot possibly handle another day sitting in the same place, doing the same thing, this is not going to get you anywhere; in fact it will make your day go by a lot more slowly instead of faster and in a more positive manner. The Blessings in Challenges By : Daryl Daughtry Too often we view challenges as annoyances or personal vendettas, when in fact they may hold a great opportunity to learn and grow! If you start by asking what you can learn from each challenge, you’ll suddenly see them as possibilities that pave the way to greater wisdom and self-mastery. The Joy of Pushing Yourself By : Bill Parsons However, we still feel that "fight or flight" reflex, but more often that not, it's a response to the stress of being part of the urban jungle that so many of us call home. Something happens that is unexpected or unpleasant (and sometimes the thought of something unpleasant happening is enough to trigger this response), and our bodies prepare to either make a stand or run. But we don't really do either and this response seems to be wasted in the situation. The Real Secret To Changing Anything By : Wendy N. Lapidus-Saltz She learned what basketball players do, and she did those things. She practiced shooting hoops, talked to other players, read about pro players, and applied for women’s basketball scholarships at several colleges. Think Yourself Thin, See Yourself Slim: The Magic of Hypnosis By : Z. Stanley This is possible. It is possible to harness the power of your mind to think yourself thin. By seeing yourself slimmer and thinking thin, you are conditioning the subconscious mind to bring about a change in eating habits. That’s it – no trickery, no magic pills. Hypnosis is being used to demonstrate how an ability to see yourself as you want to be can be programmed and therefore, achieved. All you have to do is believe in yourself and that change is possible. Top Tips That Can Help You Make All Your Dreams Come True. By : Kanaga Siva We talk about these three important words quite casually without giving serious thought about the significance and the incredible role they play in the lives of highly motivated people to make their dreams come true. What is Stopping You From Being RICH? - 3 Main Reasons By : Vicka Tanski 1. People are not aware of their real nature. They don't know they are effective creators. Nobody taught them that they are not the victims of circumstances, and that the outside is just a reflection of inside. Why By : Tim Paulson One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that it’s hard to become highly successful when you don’t LOVE what you do. You must love the organization and the product or service you are involved with. It’s important to do what you really believe in and to love it. Since you spend more than a third of your life in your work, shouldn’t you love what you do?
