Give Yourself The Greatest Gift


By: Christopher Green,

Imagine if you could give yourself the best gift ever. A gift that would bring success, happiness and abundance into your life, not just temporarily, but for the rest of your living years.

Would you be interested in having such a gift? Hmm, let me guess! The good news is that YOU CAN. The gift I’m talking about is personal responsibility. Let me share with you precisely why this gift is the best you will ever receive!

When you decide to take personal responsibility for your whole life, a remarkable series of reactions takes place.
All of these reactions increase your personal power.

Acceptance is the first, crucial reaction. You accept that where you are right now is all your doing. No longer will you blame anyone else for your current situation or list excuses such as bad luck or lack of opportunity. Blame and excuses are heavy baggage and they do not bring success.
Acceptance will help you abandon them for good.

In accepting full responsibility for your current situation, you also accept that where you’ll be in a year or 5 years is also down to you. You chose the paths to the destination you’re at right now. Therefore, you can choose better paths to lead you to a greater destination.

The Four Rules to Lead an Extraordinary Life


By: Emmanuel Segui

Everybody can lead an extraordinary life. There is no better time to live your dreams. Knowledge is abundant. The World Wide Web is filled up with billions of pages of information. Libraries contain thousands of books on every topic possible and you can attend seminars all around the world about many different subjects. But to live an extraordinary life, you need to focus and follow these 4 rules.

1. Find Your Passion.

You have unique talents and God-given gifts. Your job is to discover them. Make a list of the things you always would have liked to do but just never found the time to work on it. What are your hobbies? Begin by studying something you're curious about. This curiosity may turn into a passion. Once you've discovered it, ask yourself the following question: "How can I make a living out of it?"
This is the exact strategy that self-made millionaires and successful people followed. Finding, following and living your passion will allow you to lead an extraordinary life.

2. Create Your Vision.

Create a strategic plan by beginning to define and clarify your vision. Defining your vision can take a month, clarifying it can take several years. But the more your vision is accurate, the more you will attract people, opportunities, and money that will help you reach your vision. The clearer your vision is, the more every part of you, as a human being, is involved: your physical body, your emotions, your mind and your spirit. And this becomes a heartfelt commitment and a creative excitement........

Gift Yourself: How to Rid the Holidays of Must, Could Have and Should

By Vivian Banta
It's that time of year again. Some people call it the holiday season and as much as I enjoy it, I have an additional name for it as well: "The Must/Have To, Could Have and Should Season." In my mind, part of the reason, people are so stressed during the holidays has to do with all of the "must/have tos" that are running through their brains. So, they indulge themselves in various ways to compensate for the unhappiness derived from the pressure of the "have tos." Then, there comes the time of sober reflection towards the end of the year which I call the "could haves." Finally, there are the pledges to "do better" next year, which I call the "shoulds." No wonder people greet the season with equal amounts of joy and trepidation!I am always amazed when people tell me that they "must go" to an event like a holiday party or "have to" buy a gift for someone. They express no joy in it and in fact are usually conjuring up some way to avoid it altogether…….. Read the rest of this article
