Motivation and Success Strategies

The Life of Your Dreams by Jim Stovall

Dreams are the stuff that make up our lives. We are either in the fortunate group of people who are living out our dreams, or we are those restless, wandering individuals who are living the proverbial lives of quiet desperation.

I am not talking about daydreams or fantasies. We all have those fleeting glimpses of ourselves playing center field for the New York Yankees or the St. Louis Cardinals, as the case may be, in the final game of the World Series. I am, instead, talking about dreams as a future visualization of how our lives could be or should be.

Why You’ll Never Achieve Your Dreams (Without this One Crucial Quality)

Motivation

Have you ever had that nagging question in your mind? The one that goes something like this:

“I’d love to do [insert your dream goal here], but am I just kidding myself? I mean, I know others can achieve that, but I just don’t have what it takes.”

Now, maybe you think this because you see others who already know all you still have to learn. They seem so much better than you currently are. How could you ever catch up? Or maybe you’ve tried and failed and it’s got you discouraged.

Conquering Life In Bite Sized Pieces

Motivation

Life is not really about what happens to you, but how you respond to it. If you were to poll any social setting you would quickly find that more people than expected have endured severe situations and came out on the other side with a smile. How you may ask? By adjusting their thinking to understand two vital facts.

First, all of life is cyclical. We are all rotating through this life in between struggles and good times. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you make peace with life. Next, you cannot eat an elephant in one setting. Big problems become manageable when you break them down into bite sized tasks.

When unmotivated, meander…

Motivation

I woke up to a dismal drizzle outside yesterday. Bleached of sunshine, I felt queasy with the murky weather. I had planned to accomplish some writing for my blog yesterday and carved out the whole day for some creative works. Yet, recovering from a cold and fever compounded by the grey skies, I had all but a lack of enthusiasm.

Success Lesson: Take charge of your education and make a fortune

Motivation

“The times, they are a-changin’” ~ Bob Dylan, 1964. It’s hard to believe that it’s nearly 50 years since that song was new. The craziest part is that the advice is just as relevant now as it was then. If you don’t keep up with the times, you’re going to get left behind. But I’m not talking about politics like Dylan was; I’m talking about your education. Specifically selfeducation.

“Formal education will make you a living. Self education will make you a fortune.” ~ Jim Rohn

Success Lesson: Training the Mind to Obey By Krista Magidson

Motivation

I’ve been teaching meditation and mindfulness techniques since 2001. In this article I’m going to show you a really effective technique that will help you to train your mind to obey…

…and I learned it from Cesar Milan, the “Dog Whisperer.”

I don’t have a dog, but I started watching Cesar Milan when my brother-in-law kept raving about a person with almost mystical powers to train dogs. So one evening my family and I tuned in.

We were all fascinated by his ability to transform these sometimes dangerous animals into wonderful loving pets.

Developing Motivation By Building Self Belief

Motivation

When we witness someone else’s success, whether it’s in business, sport, relationships, career or whatever, there’s a tendency to see that great success as an end in itself.

When we see the mountaineer at the top of the high mountain, we don’t think so much about the fact that getting there involved taking a long series of steps one after the other. What impresses us most deeply is seeing the successful person at the pinnacle of their achievement, and seeing that success and only that success tends to make many people think that for them doing the same thing would be unattainable.

A Quick Way to Improve Your Communication Skills

Motivation

Communication is the art of expressing yourself. Am I right?

It’s a way of letting the world know what is going on inside of you and a method for your inner thoughts to affect the world around you.

Well, at least that’s how most of us define communication. But personally I nowadays use another definition. It’s a much more empowering definition that actually puts Me in charge of everything around me. Here it is:

“The meaning of your communication is the response you get.”

Let that sink in for a while.

Success Lesson: Staying Sharp

Motivation

Some lessons in life just seemed to stick with you long after you learned them. They become an undercurrent to the way you think, live and do business. It’s beyond knowing, it’s an understanding. Two plus two will always be four.

No matter the day, the climate or your mood. It just is. That’s how I felt after a two day business seminar sponsored by the organization I worked for in Philadelphia.

Success Lesson: How to get out of a rut and get more done

Motivation

Some people are naturally driven. They just have a natural inclination to get things done. Self improvement to these people is just doing the things they’re used to doing on a daily basis.

But the fact of the matter is, these kinds of people are a rare breed. Most people need some kind of jump start from time to time.

And a lot of us sometimes just get stuck in big fat productivity rut. I’m not even immune to it myself.
