Believe in Your Dreams!
by Debbie Friedman

I went to see the movie “Miracle” the first weekend it came out. Not once, but twice. I loved it. The Dream, the Vision, the Commitment, the Determination, the Spirit. Most of all, I loved the message: BELIEVE. Believe in the possibilities of life. Believe in yourself. Believe that your dream, too, can come true. Believe that you deserve to have the very best life has to offer. Believe in the wonderful giving nature of the Universe. Believe that the Universe wants you to have ...

Just Say Yes
by Debbie Friedman

I was never a fan of the big purple dinosaur. As a matter of fact, I used to make fun of him. Then, my grandson Ben was born and I bought Barney’s Great Adventure video. Over the years Barney has become almost a staple with all of my grandchildren. Ben (now 6) and Brooks (2 years old) came in from a dinner at the beach and, without saying a word, started taking toys from the living room up to my bedroom so we could all snuggle together, eat cookies, and watch Barney. Peyton (also 2) ...

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life
by Steve Hill

I was always somebody who felt quite sorry for myself, what I had not got compared to my friends, how much of a struggle my life seemed to be compared to others. I was caught up in a web of negativity and needed someone or something to help me to escape. During an afternoon at work one day, aged around twenty one, a colleague I was working with started to talk to me. What he said was quite upsetting and disturbing, however would have a profound effect on my future. He said to me: Author' ...

As Long As You Try Your Best, There Is No Such Thing As Failure
by Steve Hill

I always say to my children, as long as you try your best, there is no such thing as failure. I believe this one hundred percent and it is a philosophy I am trying to install into my kids. When I worked in the insurance industry, I used to sit the insurance examinations. I would always study hard and give it my all, however there were only three options as results. These were, distinction, pass or fail. I hate this word fail, in their eyes I failed twice, but did I though? As already stated, I ...

Surrender and Acceptance
by Nikhil Gangoli

One of the most useful concepts to grow spiritually and becoming happier is the method of acceptance or surrender. I have personally found this method to be perhaps the most workable and useful in retaining my poise and staying happier as I go through life. Partly because of my upbringing no doubt, I have had a life–long habit of being very self critical and judgmental. I have the habit of criticizing and feeling bad about myself for every little thing that happened to me – internally ...

Always Set Yourself Goals And Work Hard To Achieve Them
by Steve Hill

I was always told by parents to always work towards a future goal or target and to ensure that you reached that goal. This they told me would make me a success in life. This article describes about the importance of having a goal in life. I read many books and I recently read a book that described the importance of having a goal in life. In the books example, a survey had been carried out at a school. The people surveyed were students who had recently taken their final exams. They were asked to ...

“If all you have is a hammer everything starts to look like a nail”
by graham and julie

We were watching the film Mulholland Drive yesterday and it suddenly hit us like a bolt of lightening. How many times we misdiagnose a situation. How many times we carry on a path not knowing that our assumption have taken us miles off course. It’s like playing golf and only knowing how to use three clubs and having to use them in every situation. It’s like looking through a camera zoom lens instead of a wide angle. It’s like blindly following another’s opinion. The fact is that mo ...

Increase Your Self Esteem With This Simple Method
by Steve Holloway

Low Self Esteem is essentially a civil war. It is an internal battle between two belief systems that disagree. We often spot the struggle between these two in our behavior causing emotional torment. Another way to look at this is as a lack of integrity. Integrity means ‘wholeness’. It is when beliefs and actions are congruent. If they lack congruency then we end up in conflict and our pride in ourselves plummets. You may find that you see and feel very differently about yourself in differe ...

How Do Thought Create Reality?
by Debbie Friedman

Recently I’ve been asked to be a guest expert to discuss Manifestation and, in particular, how what we think creates the life we experience - our reality and results. It occurred to me that I’ve talked about this idea over time in my newsletters, and that it was time to be really direct about it with all of you so that it’s clear. This is not just “woo woo” or metaphysical stuff anymore. Let’s get to it. As many of you know, I am a scientist by background and training. Aside from the amaz ...

What is this Tool Used in Organizations Called Coaching?
by What is this Tool Used in Organizations Called Coaching?

There are many different opinions as to what coaching is and also what it is not. If you look at coaching from a high level, the Merriam – Webster dictionary defines the root word coach as: to instruct, direct, or prompt as a coach. The common theme derived from this definition is guidance. The original Germanic term means to transport or move from one place to a new place. However, some organizations define coaching as the way to develop people and improve performance. Others say coaching i ...

Interpret the Posture of Confidence
by Alan Luk

Words of confidence can be heard when spoken, likewise words of confidence can be read when written or documented. But can confidence be interpreted from the actions of a person? Yes, it can. As a matter of fact, action has a higher degree of consistency compared to spoken or read materials regardless of the subject involved. Whenever there is a cloud of doubt on the truthfulness of an issue under discussion, the language not spoken or read serves as the confirmation of accuracy. This i ...

Choosing a Degree Program Based on Your Goals
by Kate Leas

When I left for college I had no idea how to evaluate a school or a degree program. I based my decisions on what other people thought I should do and what was easy instead of sitting down and asking myself some simple questions. I'd like to offer some questions I should have asked myself about my goals and the programs I was evaluating. First, something everyone should answer before going to school: Why are you going to school and what do you hope to achieve? Even if you are undecided about ...

So you’ve picked a school (college or technical) but what are you going to study? I’ve compiled a list of things to consider when choosing an academic major. Level of interest: Do you enjoy the subject? You are more likely to be successful if you enjoy your major. If it bores you, you will likely be unmotivated and may suffer academically.

You Just Don’t Get It! – How Job Interviews Are Lost
by Joel Vance

Most companies have business hours. They expect their employees to be there between those hours. And if they set an interview for a potential employee at a certain hour, they expect them to be there. It's a well-worn saying, but time really is money, and putting an interviewer behind in their schedule, could cost you the job, despite your qualifications. Walking in late to an interview is the equivalent of saying, Author's Biography: This article is courtesy of You Just Don’t Get It! – How Job Interviews Are Lost

by Lori Radun, CEC

It has been said that 60-80% of New Year's resolutions will be broken within the first two weeks. Personally, I am not a huge advocate of New Year's resolutions because I believe in setting and achieving personal goals all year around. However, I do respect the fact that New Year's resolutions are very popular, and I understand that the New Year is a very logical time to start fresh. That being said, I wanted to share with you the top ten ways to increase the likelihood for success with your ...

9 Tips for Handling Public Speaking Questions

How you handle questions from an audience can often be the deciding factor as to how your presentation is received. If you're pitching for business, then it's absolutely vital to handle questions well. 1.

Creating the Life You Desire and Deserve
by Debbie Friedman

I was talking with a woman who was telling me about her recent work – that she was, for the first time in her life, finally able to do her work the way she’d always wanted to with a client. She then turned and asked me, as a clairvoyant, if I saw that this was going to continue for her. Could she really live the life of her dreams? As I started to tell her she could if she focused her thoughts and visions to take the appropriate actions in her world, she quickly cut me off mid-sen ...

End Your Fear of Failure
by Lori Prokop

It is dangerous to have your own fears working against you, especially the fear of failure or success. Either can cause you to freeze and create the situation you fear, even causing failure to thrive. Everyone is going to fall short or experience failure. The important question is not “did you experience failure?” Rather the important question is “how did you react to the failure?” Coming up short of a desired outcome can be a great teacher. Much of what people have learned, ...
