Stop These 7 Lousy Habits That Steal Your Dreams

By

“Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.” ~ Jim Rohn Sometimes things don’t turn out the way you want. Despite your best efforts to cultivate an attitude of success, to develop yourself, to pay attention to your results, to plant and nurture the seeds of your dream life, you’re still struggling and not making much progress. The easiest thing in the world would be to give up. Many do. Who could blame them? But to have the patience, persistence and determination to keep going, despite everything, is the true measure of success. Real magic occurs once you decide, no matter what, you’re going to do something that your future self will be grateful for. You’re going to carry on.

The 7 Success Principles That Matter

By

Successful people weren’t born that way. So how do they do it? They’re just willing do the things that lead to their dreams. And then they do it again. They imagine what their future could be, and then they work every day toward that vision, or that purpose. Regardless of their profession or life dreams, I’ve noticed seven common principles highly successful people have trained themselves to do that the rest of us are capable of doing too. 1. Set up a world class belief system You don’t have to be saddled with a set of beliefs that are more about survival than success. Many of us were programmed to avoid pain at all costs which means living with a ‘playing not to lose’ mentality. A belief system that doesn’t serve you well. If you want something, put in the effort. No matter your age, or upbringing or your lot in life, invest…

6 Zen-like Habits To Inspire Success and Contentment

By

“Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it. ~ Ray Bradbury” Very little separates the highly successful and contented people from the average. Every day you’re called upon to make lots of decisions. What you’ll use your time for, where you’ll focus your energies, what’s important to you, who you’ll spend time with, even to the simplest things like what to wear. There’s nothing more important to the success and contentment of your life than these little daily decisions. They are the makers and builders of your life, the creators of your future. Here’s some zen-like quotes to help make decisions that inspire your success and contentment. 1. It isn’t what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes…

Give Yourself A Fighting Chance For A Better Future

By

[success]Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance ~ Tia Sillers and Mark Sanders[/success] It takes courage to look at your life and decide this isn’t the way you want to live.  It takes courage to say no, to release the familiar and embrace the new. Yet, if you want a better future, one that’s different from the life you currently have, don’t be afraid to let go and take a risk. It’s the only way to see a life you didn’t know was possible. Most people aren’t living the life they want because they haven’t committed enough to a vision, or worse, they haven’t yet chosen a vision for their future, one that’s valuable enough to let nothing stand in their way. Don’t sacrifice the promise of wonderful new experiences for the security of…

5 Things You Can Do To Live A Life Of Excellence

By

[success]The secret of living a life of excellence is merely a matter of thinking thoughts of excellence. Really, it’s a matter of programming our minds with the kind of information that will set us free. ~ Charles R. Swindoll[/success] Making minor changes in your daily life will make a major difference to the ease with which you fulfill your dreams. Why settle for mediocrity when five simple changes can lead to a life of excellence. 1. Commitment If you’d have begun anything last year, or the year before you’d be twelve or twenty four months better at it than you are today. Don’t let that stop you.  Begin now.  But only commit yourself to what’s best for you. Don’t be misled by the opinion of others…their opinions are no more valuable than your own. Desire is what stirs your soul into movement, but it’s persistence, and a relentless commitment that…
