Getting Motivated By A Motivational Speaker?
In the past years, there has been a sudden rise of motivational speakers. They appear in television and in magazines as well as sold out seminars that are just brimming with people who are just craving to get some direction with their lives. A motivational speaker, instead of focusing on the financial gains that he or she will most probably get from these seemingly “needy” people, should focus his or her attention to actually motivating people to actually be the best that they ...
Motivational Posters, Not Just For The Office Anymore
It’s not uncommon to see motivational posters hanging up in offices, usually in reception, boardrooms or areas where most employees can view them. They can be beautiful, funny, patriotic but always inspirational. But is it just for the office? Your home is certainly a great place to have these prints. With the hectic lives of modern day society we can easily overlook the simple things and get lost in the endless number of things we need to do in a day. ...

Don't Forget To Dream
Don't Forget to Dream Sometimes we know that something has to change in our lives. That need often gives birth to a dream. The problem is we often succumb to the fear of the unknown and turn our backs on the doors that are opening to us. Life was different back in the 1800's. Charles Tiffany was 15 when he completed his formal education and went to work managing a general store for his father who owned a Connecticut cotton mill. He worked long, ...
The Message Of Katrina
Copyright 2005 Mark Myhre As we continue to watch the heart-wrenching images of the damage and destruction brought on by hurricane Katrina, we naturally search for a way to make sense of it all. Why is it so bad? Why must so many suffer? Why did this have to happen? And perhaps the most meaningful question of all - What can I do to help? Many people heard the call - and responded by personally traveling to the stricken area. Many more donated money or ...

Are You Superficial?
"So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way." from Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell Like the clouds in Joni Mitchell's song, words get in our way all the time. Have you ever stopped to think about the power of your words? Especially the words you use all the time. Besides the value of words for sharing ideas and experiences, words can also cause us to limit our understanding of the people and things in our lives. After all, words are only shortcuts we have ...

How To Turn The Vision Into Reality
What separates those who succeed and those who live their lives feeling that things could have been better? Ask any truly successful person why they achieved and they will all tell you they had a dream, a vision for their future. Those who are successful leaders have been able to share that dream with others with such conviction that they have convinced others to join them on their quest to achieve that dream. Can anyone achieve their dream? Having a clear strategy can help you make ...
If You Think You Can Or Can't -- You're Right
Here's a little poem that I found many years ago that kept me going when times were tough, and still keeps me going when new challenges face me. You will want to print it out and pin it up (or frame it and hang it) where you can readily see it each day. Before you read it and print it out, a few things: - I've included two versions, one for men and one for women, read the one for your gender - Write out this poem in your own handwriting before ...
Shining The Light Of Hope
You will want to share something with someone today. Actually, with at least two people. One person that you know very well.

The one you do not know at all will become evident to you when you meet them today for the first time as you go about your day. By sharing this message with both of them, you will ...
Man And Compassion
Maybe no one among us has NEVER experienced any tragic incident in our life time. Or probably no one among us have claimed that they haven't heard of any tragedy that ever happened to others. Yes, tragedy is a menace to the human society. Its aftermath of suffering or the horrible loss of life bring direct and indirect grievous experience to the affected person. However, if there is anyone out there who have never experience any tragic experience in life, maybe you ...

What On Earth Is Life Coaching Anyway?
In my speaking engagements I have often compared coaching today to psychotherapy in the 1920s. The level of public understanding of coaching, outside of people in a certain socio-demographic category, is still in its infancy. We are all so saturated with the language of psychoanalysis – it’s difficult to read a book or watch a movie that isn’t premised on this shared language – that we probably don’t consider there was once a time when practitioners were asked:
Personal Assignments For Great Self-esteem
Do you wish you had high self-confidence? Some of us go through our life fighting against that feeling that we are just ‘not good enough’. We convince ourselves that we don’t matter and that we don’t deserve to amount to anything…..but what price do we pay? The fact is that many people are lacking is self-esteem, yet feel powerless to do anything about it. Poor self esteem needs to be addressed with a vengeance; it affects your emotional and physical wellbeing and really reduces the ...

The Seven Wonders Of The World
Human as we are, we tend to get so engrossed with so many things. And all too often, because of our preoccupation, we miss to appreciate the things in life that make our lives worth living. I came face to face with this reality just a few months ago. It was already 10:00 pm when I came home from school one Thursday evening. The wind was rustling about overhead as I paced through the door of our humble abode. I moved towards the nearest couch and plumped myself to rest. Defeat and ...

Copyright 2005 Kathy Paauw "One of the effects of living with electronic information is that we live habitually in a state of information overload.

Use Your Reset Button To Change Your Vibration
At every moment you can tell if the vibration that you are sending is either a positive one or a negative one by identifying the feeling you are experiencing. At every moment you have a feeling and that feeling is causing you to emit or send off a vibration - and in the 'vibrational' world there are only two kinds of vibrations; positive or negative. So as you talk about what you don't want and make negative declarative statements, in that moment you are sending out and emitting a ...

How To Create A Mini-journal
Copyright 2005 Writer's Eye Advisory Service For really busy days, it’s nice to be able to journal on something small. It makes it easier to keep up with daily activities, if you keep some 3x5 cards nearby and jot notes on them. I can remember not liking index cards in school, because they always reminded me of Dewey decimal system and finishing school reports on time. However, in college index cards became my ally in keeping track of my off-topic thoughts during college lectures. It made ...
