Everybody wants to get to the top, whether it is the top of a career, a company, the earnings scale, or the many other ways that we as individuals can define the "top" in our own lives! But with so many people trying to get to the top, how come so many people aren´t moving up? I think there are some fundamental reasons why. Reasons that can be addressed and changed! What are some things you can

"Many of us have things backwards. We believe that we have to wait to create the circumstances we want in life and rack up a lot of successes so we can finally relax.Actually, it works the other way around. We should leave where we are and move to where we ultimately dream of living, whether it’s Boulder, Santa Monica, Chicago, or Tibet. Then once we’re there, we’ll figure out ways to

People who have more information have a tremendous advantage over those who don't. Brian Tracy said " If you want to earn more, learn more." Highly successful people know more. That's their edge. They undertake a program of lifelong learning, feeding a hunger for knowledge in their field that keeps them reading, researching and studying to become an absolute master at what they do.You may think

It is so easy to focus on the negative aspects of things that happen in our everyday lives.I was so glad to come across this poem today, as it focused me on seeing things that can irritate in a different perspective.TO BE THANKFUL FOR:The mess to clean after a party because it means Ihave been surrounded by friends.The taxes I pay because it means that I'm employed.The clothes that fit a little

"I am convinced that many times, in the course of our lives, God challenges us with a golden opportunity, a seemingly impossible hurdle, or a terrible tragedy . . . and how we react - or fail to react - determines the course of our future, almost as if we were involved in some sort of heavenly chess game. . . with our destiny always in the balance."Og Mandino - A Better Way to Live"Whenever I

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her.She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on ahigh fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the

Blessed is the mother who knows how to comfort, for she shall possess a child's devotion.Blessed is the mother who guides by the path of righteousness, for she shall be proud of her offspring.Blessed is the mother who is never shocked, for she shall receive confidences.Blessed is the mother who teaches respect, for she shall be respected.Blessed is the mother who emphasizes the good and minimizes

By Steve WunderinkLife whizzes by. It is like you are in a time machine from the movie and every time you glance in one direction and then the other – the scene is totally different. It all looks sort of familiar but … not quite recognizable. The same thing happened this week when I saw a niece of mine that I haven’t seen for years and in those years she grew from a precocious preteen to a young

You come home and you find your friend/spouse/kid sitting on the couch with a bag of chips and soda watching MTV/NFL/HSN; what do you make of it? Do you blow up or smile in approval? Is that sloth or rest? How do you know the difference?Let’s start with the definitions. Sloth is beyond laziness, it is intentional avoidance of work or labor of any kind. Sloth is beyond sleepiness, it is forcing

By Vivian BantaIt'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

Have you noticed how everybody takes it for granted a bad experience is automatically, unreservedly, unremittingly bad?That nothing good could ever come from a bad childhood, for example?I'm hearing the comment more and more often that we have become a victim society. Maybe this is true?Consider...Don't we hear these comments a lot? I was mistreated when I was a child... I was a lonely latchkey

Kids are the absolute masters at getting what they want and my 7-year-old son is no exception. Although he's never read a word of Wallace D. Wattles' writings (he is however very familiar with the basics of Wallace D. Wattles'philosophy), over the last seven years he's reduced how to get what he wants to a science.Here's his "scientific" formula for getting what he wants:1. He clearly recognizes

By: Daniel SitterChoices abound. Sometimes choices confound us, while at other times, certain choices are rather obvious. Any way you approach the subject, choices present opportunities to either excel or hinder. As human beings, we were endowed by our Creator with the power of choice. It is one of the factors that differentiate persons from animals. Some people make these choices or decisions

By: Lance Beggs, Let’s get straight into it! If you want to live a happy life, then you MUST spend some time deciding what you want to do with your life, and then make the effort to live that life with passion. It’s up to you! No-one else is going to do it for you. So, take some time out from your busy day-to-day routine, and consider the following questions. 1. What is my life’s purpose? 2. If I

One of my favourite things I like to watch is the bloopers and outtakes that are shown of mistakes made during the making of a movie. Most DVD’s have a section of outtakes to be viewed, and often they will set me off laughing, especially when you know what was supposed to happen.In one sense it seems strange to laugh at other people’s mistakes, and yet we all do it, and our enjoyment is not
