Melting The Thinking Mind: Is your self confidence based ...
Do you ever find that your level of self confidence tends togo up and down like the stock market? Or perhaps it evengoes up and down along with the stock market! Here is astory about a Japanese businessman that might give you a newperspective.I recently heard from a friend, about a Japanese businessman that has created a highly successful business withhundreds of stores throughout the country. At first Ithought my friend was going to be telling me about the "howto" of business success, but instead the story took quite adifferent path than I was expecting. What follows is myversion of an inspiring story.The man in my story had actually failed at numerousbusinesses over the years. He started out with a large andsuccessful family business, but he ran that business intothe ground and eventu. . .
Every Moment Is Perfect
Every Moment Is PerfectHelaine Iris© 2003“If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans”. —My fatherThis morning I woke up to rain for the sixth day in a row. It’s cold out. It’s the end of May, it’s supposed to be spring. All of my vegetable seeds and young tomato and broccoli plants sit patiently in the garage awaiting the tilled earth. I was planning to use this 3-day holiday weekend to plant my garden. Now, I can’t!Last weekend I went to visit my family in Florida. The trip was planned for months. I’d been looking forward to seeing my family and getting some well needed warmth and sunshine. Suddenly, two days into the visit, my parents got called out of town for an emergency. Our visit got cut short.Two disappointments. Two reasons to be grumpy and wonder, “why me?” I noticed a. . .
Being Happy
Most of us will have sat through sermons or addresses that have attempted to persuade us to follow some virtuous path, that will lead us to salvation. Frequently we recognise the value of the offered path but lack the tools to bring emotions and actions into line with our intellectual acceptance. We need practical techniques that will help us to achieve the evolutionary goals we set ourselves.Here you will be offered a little philosophy of life, a path to follow. If the path calls to you, if you feel it “sings to your heart” then there are some practical meditations to help along the way.How is being happy a duty?Firstly it is essential to our own evolution. We are often told that we must see the positive in all that comes to us, to recognise the strength we gain in adversity. Put anoth. . .
Use friendly discussions to advance your career
Think about all the different people that you chat with on a regular basis. This group most likely includes family, friends, classmates, neighbors, and co-workers. Then, think about the people that you have pleasant, often personal, discussions with from time to time. This group might include your hair stylist, parents at the local baseball field, merchants in your community, or people in your religious community. Next, review any lists or rosters you have for professional organizations, social clubs, or athletic clubs. These lists will help you remember folks you meet occasionally.Just by completing these simple tasks, you have completed the first step of effective networking. You have identified your existing network, and you are ready to begin organizing your networking strategy usin. . .

Awaken The Sleeping Attitude Within You!
I have made the statement numerous times that; "You are the most important living person." Take some time and think about yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror and see how long you can stare without walking away. If less than five minutes, then you need an attitude adjustment.One In A Million!Think about it, in all of history there has never been another person exactly like you. That's scary. No, I'm just kidding. You are very unique, you are very personal, and you are very emotional. What makes you so unique? It's the sleeping giant that inhabits you. Actually, you have two giants inside you and they are; your consciousness and sub-consciousness. The conscious giant only benefits you when you are awake. The sub-conscious or the great sleeping giant is our 24/7 buddy. What this means. . .
Success Requires Persistance
Success Requires PersistenceBy Michelle L. CastoWhat do you think makes someone successful? Do you believe them to be lucky? Do they have the perfect product to market? Are they exceptionally smart? While it is true that a little luck, a solid product and being smarts helps, true success comes from one thing: persistence. A dictionary definition of persistence is “to continue steadfastly or often annoyingly, esp. in spite of opposition; to be tenacious.” When someone is persistent, they are able to take obstacles in stride and even jump over them, they see failure as an essential part of the learning process, and remain committed to their goals, dreams, and aspirations. Successful people use seemingly “negative” experiences to guide them on their path to success, rather than seeing mis-. . .
Happiness Is A State Of Mind, I'm Happy......I Think!
You have the power to attract and repel anything in life you want! It's all in your hands. Contentment, happiness, and joy are right around the corner. Hang in here with me; some of this is going to go against the grain of previous thinking. The Moment Of Truth!Regardless of whom you are, you are unique, you are special, and you are a wonderful person. Yet, certain people may not think so. :) if you feel that they react negatively and offensively to many things that you say and do, you may discover some insight here: They are just as human as you are.You might not want to believe this but; everything that makes you special makes them special. If something offends you, it might also offend them. If something influences you, in some given manner, the same thing might also influence them.. . .
How To Motivate Yourself For Success?
I was having coffee with my friend the other day. He just joined a multi-level marketing company. The company sells aromatherapy products that improve air quality and help people to have a healthier life.My friend had tested the products himself and he is very convinced with the effectiveness of the products.But my friend told me, "I have problem motivating myself.""The products are excellent. The rewards system is good. There are a lot of success stories from those who have made it to the top. But I can't keep myself going." My friend confided.Have you felt this before?This is a common problem that happens to everyone. We all have plans to achieve success in life. But what is lacking is the motivation that keeps us going to convert plans into action.Usually, you feel very 'excited' at. . .

Discovering what your heart really wants
“Your purpose is something you want to do and do because it expresses who you are”.By Robert Allen “Nothing changes until you get to the truth” by Brendan Nichols I stumbled across these two quotes the other day and they hit a nerve and brought up a number of questions and thoughts, the most important one being “What is my truth and what I want to do?” To get what you want in life you have to be very clear about what it is you want without any doubt or conflict in your mind. Doubt and conflict will trip you up every time causing all sorts of sabotage problems. It is very easy to confuse what we think we want with what other people think we should have. Believes and opinions about life come in from external sources. It might be that certain things are considered a social norm and so we . . .
Being Committed
A number of years ago at my first personal growth seminar, the wise group leader asked if I had problems with commitment. I clearly remember my thought processes. "Commitment? I'm not sure I understand what that means. Oh well, it's probably not important."That was a pivotal realization for me. I subsequently learned what commitment means and how it shows up for me. Maybe this is on my mind now because I'm coming up on a significant wedding anniversary-- my first. That aspect of my life is working well. What about the parts that aren't?I recently had to cancel two workshops because not enough people had signed up. Certainly the beautiful weather and/or frightening world circumstances may have been factors. But I wonder how much of the lack of interest was generated by me. For both event. . .
Success Stamina- How to Stay Motivated Day After Day
Some days the wind and the world all seem to be working with you- you find a parking spot in the perfect place, get through to people when you call them, accomplish tasks with ease. At the end of the day, you feel your business or career moving forward. Then there are the days when you drag yourself around, the phone seems to weigh 40 pounds, you can't find what you need, the copier jams and at the end of the day, you feel like you would be further along if you stayed in bed. Some days, some weeks seem to go well because your Success Stamina is high and others seem challenging because your Success Stamina is low.Maintaining your Success Stamina is far more complex than simply keeping up your physical stamina by getting enough sleep, eating a power breakfast and skipping the Martinis at . . .
Adjust Your Attitude and Expect Success
If you’ve ever called me, you’ve heard my answering-machine message end with the words "Expect Success." There’s an important intent behind that. What if every time we made a phone call or personal request or met with a potential client, we expected we would be successful? Do you think our behavior would be different? It seems likely that if we had that confidence, we would make more phone calls, make more requests and schedule more appointments. And that would result in more business, more income, more ease in our workday, and more overall success. Last week I was making marketing calls with only two business days left for the month and I had set a goal to have my best month ever. I decided to adopt an "Expect Success" attitude. I visualized each person on the other end of the phone an. . .
Don't Accept Things the Way They Are- Instead Take Action
Joan Didion, an American writer, novelist said The willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own life is the source from which self-respect springs.Often we accept the consensus opinion of the majority as truth. We accept what others say or do as the way things are. We accept things the way they appear to be instead of taking action to make them the way we want them to be. If you think "business is always slow in summer", "My manager never listens to me", "Nobody can find a good apartment fast in this market." These are false ideas you have accepted as truth. If you accept these "false truths" as fact you sabotages you ability to get what you want, you put up invisible roadblocks between you and your goals.As you move through your life start to notice what "false truths" come out o. . .
The Value Of An Hour
When I was 21 years old, a gentleman asked me what I thought thevalue of an hour was. I honestly did not know how to answer thequestion. He went on to teach me one of the most valuablelessons I have ever learned. He suggested that the value of an hour was priceless. Thisconfused me some, so this is what he said to me. "If you invest one hour each day in understanding yourself andyour environment better, you will accumulate nine 40-hour weeksover the course of a year!" Yikes! As you can imagine I was blown away when he put it to me thatway. Nine 40- hour weeks? This seemed impossible until I did themath. 365 days, times one hour each is...yup, nine 40-hour weeks! He went on to ask me how good I could get at something if I didit all day, every day for just over 2 months. Well, you already. . .
Do You Want To Change Your Belief Pattern?
What do you believe about yourself that you wish you didn't? This belief that limits you or, at the very least, has undesirable results. What belief is that? There are lots of negative belief patterns out there, here are just a few: *I'm too stupid.* *I'm too short.* *I'm too tall.* *I'm too fat.* *I'm too skinny.* *I'm too poor.* *I never went to college, so I'll never get anywhere.* *My brother/sister is the successful one. I'll never get where they are.* *I don't fit in.* Which belief pattern is yours that you want to change? One of those, or do you have a different one?Now, what submodalities do you use as you imagine or picture it? *** TIP: Space is at a minimum here, so I am assuming you've learned the submodalities in*Power Picture.* If you haven't, you can read it here: http://w. . .

Are You Listening?
Are You Listening?Helaine Iris© 2003“At any moment, you have a choice, that either leads you closer to your spirit or further away from it.” Thich Nhat HahnLast summer my husband and I went away for our anniversary. We went to the White Mountains of New Hampshire for some camping and hiking. Mind you, my husband has hiked the Appalachian Trail and his idea of a hike is far different than my idea of a hike. He wanted to climb Moat Mountain, a two-mile climb with an elevation of 2800 feet. It was a ninety-degree day in August with about ninety percent humidity, otherwise a perfect day for a hike. What the heck I thought. Not my idea of a walk in the park, yet I wanted to be with him. Part of my intention for our anniversary weekend was to do things he liked to do. I began to climb.

EQ--for the Agony and the Ecstasy
“The Agony and the Ecstasy” is the title of a novel about Michelangelo, by Irving Stone. When I encountered the title in middle school, I decided to read the book to find out what “agony” and “ecstasy” might be like, states of existence apparently available to uber-humans like Michelangelo. I was sure I had not experienced them. It may have been a misperception, or it may have been a vocabulary problem. I’m now a grandmother, and I now know what they mean. In fact I have survived both many times.When we’re experiencing deep, intense emotions is when we feel most alive. It is also when we are most vulnerable and most afraid. When we’re in despair, terror or torture, we want to know if it is going to go on forever. When we are in bliss, we need to know that if it should end, we would be a. . .

What can you do to make yourself feel more successfulNOW even if you feel you aren't, even if you are so faraway from where you want to be?Whenever I was down, I used to think I just needed towait it out.

You want to dig down andextract the jewels available there, but you also don'twant to get buried alive. In terms of Universal Law,being down, depressed, feeling bad, will only attractmore of the same feelings. In metaphysical thinking,it is more beneficial to change your thought patternsto something 'feel good'. This will attract more goodfeelings towards us.You really need to decide for yourself what you wantto do with where you’re at. As I said, it’s a fineline.Acknowledg. . .

How to Get Organized
I belong to a yahoogroup of coaches and right now the topic is how to get organized. One coach writes that he’s using Outlook Express for his email and email address list, Time & Order for his address book, calendar, datebook and to-do list (synchronizing, he says, between PS and daytimer), and MindMappit for brainstorming/lists.” Someone replies that they’re an infj and to remember to focus on people and relationships. A third one replies they wouldn’t want to be a ‘type’ and there’s probably a name for that type, and she uses …etc.”My son swears by his Palm Pilot, except he left it here on his last visit.

Limitations Real Or Imagined, Stick Em In A Pigs Eye!
It's about time to take a real hard look at what you think about yourself. What do you really think you're capable of? What if I told you that you could walk on water? Would you believe me? Well, what if I told you that you could never be an important person? What would you say to that?Against All Hope!What you are capable of doing first and foremost rests with what's between your ears. The next most important thing I can share with you is our limitations, whether they are real or imagined, will leave us a day late and a dollar short. There's hope. A very positive person will look at all limitations as opportunities. A very negative person will look at limitations as roadblocks or, even failures looking for a place to happen.Now obviously, there are certain things that are universally c. . .
The Most Famous Line I Never Wrote
There is one line that can dramatically impact your life and I want to share this quote with you but first let me explain... There will be many obstacles in your path on your road to success. It's like driving down the road and seeing a tire in the middle of the road blocking your path. Are you going to remove that tire and continue on? Or are you going leave it there and turn around and go back from where you came? Hopefully you chose to remove that tire from your path so that you can get to where you want to go! The same can be said for you life when you are trying to succeed online. You will be tested at times. Obstacles will be placed in your path on your road to success. And what you do with those obstacles can literally mean the difference between success and failure. I would like. . .

The Good Life -- 5 Simple Steps
There are many ways and means to accomplish whatever you want done. However, I have found that the most successful ways are so subtle and simple that they are usually overlooked. As I try to decide what projects to work on here at our horse farm, it is so very easy to become overwhelmed with the big picture. How can I build a barn that big? Where will all the money come from to pay for it? How do I clear 6 acres of land and turn it into pasture? And so on. Yesterday, as I was feeling a bit overwhelmed, I took a rake and went out to the pasture and spread piles of horse manure. Several wonderful things happened. First, I got the manure spread, which helps fertilize the field, lower the fly and insect population, and makes for less piles for us to step in! Secondly, I realized that this i. . .
