Moving Forward – Moving Up
If people asked us what we would do if we only had a week to live, we would give so many different answers. I suspect that some of these answers would center on making ourselves better as a person, or at least include better behavior. We’ll ask for forgiveness, we’ll travel the world, and so [...]

Very often, the people who have their names written in history were those who kept on with their efforts even when it seemed that there was no hope at all. Hope is everybody’s best friend. Hope is what feeds the heart and nourishes the mind. It is the fuel that keeps people going. Without it, [...]

How to Feel Energetic in Any Situation
When you feel the intensity of a situation and react with anger, you reach your breaking point. You break down, your energy is dissipated, and you become mentally and physically exhausted.

Improving your Ability to Focus and Concentrate
Bruce Lee was once quoted saying that a successful warrior is an average man with laser-like focus. The ability to concentrate is a daunting task, especially if your mind is riddled with worries and distractions. In fact, studies reveal that a person can listen to something only for so long, which is why speakers [...]
Winning People Over Now And Forever
In our eagerness to win people over, we sometimes have this mistaken notion that we must put all our efforts into doing anything to win their friendship.

The Reality behind the Law of Attraction
Life has many different laws which govern how things work out. To add to the confusion, one law can override another. Let me give an example from the field of physics. We all know that gravity means that a thin metal tube will stay on the ground. And by the way; the law of gravity [...]

Walking has been proven to improve health.

Perspective is a key to success
When we lose the proper perspective regarding a situation, event or person we can often ‘lose the plot’ as far as ‘getting it right’ is concerned. Losing perspective will often harm our chances of success.
Perspective in the dictionary is defined thus:
n.

1. A view or vista.
2. A mental view or outlook: “It is useful occasionally to [...]
Lesson in positive thinking from a paraplegic
Earlier today I covered positive thinking as part of an article.
Later, I came across the news article which I have referenced later in this post.
You know, we can be a miserable, nasty and negative lot.
Many of us:
Get uptight about even the slightest affront.
Moan about trivia.
Think disproportionately e.g: imagine bad stuff is worse than it is.

Thoughts On How You Can Be A Better You
Problems in life can never be avoided and sadly, they can often get the better of us if we are not careful. As much as we would like to pull our hair out, wail like a child or perform some other theatrics, many of us keep all the anger bottled up deep down inside. Then, [...]
Working Towards A Happy Life
We know that life is not always a ‘walk in the park’. Problems come in two forms: ones that are easy to solve and ones that look nearly impossible to overcome. It’s simple to say that life is sweet when we are able to overcome a difficult situation. When things start to go against us, [...]

Managing Stress on Busy Days
Feeling like a heavy weight is on your shoulders is a very common feeling. With the busy lives we lead, many of us feel that there aren’t enough hours during the day, as if the 24 hours we have aren’t enough to cover all our priorities.
We can all honestly say though that the overwhelming feeling [...]
Are you a ‘victim’ of circumstance?
If you are too fixated on your circumstances then I suggest you consider this:
“It is a lesson which all history teaches the wise, to put trust in ideas, and not in circumstances”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803-1882, Essayist, Philosopher and Poet
I too have learned this lesson. At times the learning was painful; but it was worth it.
Ideas, coupled [...]

If you’ve ever worked in a corporate environment, especially in a management position, you’re familiar with the concept of establishing goals and their importance to any organization that practices management by objectives.
