A beautiful definition of success that I have come across is by Earl Nightingale, in “The Strangest Secret”. He defines Success as being “the progressive realization of a worthy ideal” this definition fits the origin of the word success which comes from the Latin SUCCEDERE, meaning “to go on well” this suggests to us that success is a journey, not a destination. Anyone on a journey needs a map or a guiding system; that would be your goals. Continue Reading…
Goal Setting: an important skill for Success
How to get Self-Confidence help
Self confidence is a major issue with people today. Having confidence in yourself is a huge factor in what kind of relationships you have, what kind of job you can get, or anything else in life. It can be hard to find good self confidence help so I though I would fix that.
When you are confident, you feel better about yourself, and feel better about life in general. Finding good self confidence help can be hard. There are a lot of people that don’t know what they’re doing. So, how do you know I am any different? Continue Reading…
The shortcut to a better life: Consistency
When you were a kid at school, you probably endured lots of preaching about the virtue of flexibility. Most likely, the moral speeches you heard were accompanied by fulminating diatribes against rigidity. Imprecise is right and exact is boring, you were told. Weightlessness is strength and fragility is solidity.
In the terms of ethics, this leads to the enthronement of relativism as a moral absolute, which is, of course, absurd. Nowadays, if you watch a movie or an episode of a television series, you will rarely be able to escape the portrayal of fuzziness as sharpness. Ignorance is information. Confusion is wisdom.
On the other hand, look at what happens when we turn our attention from fiction to reality. When values and commitment lose their contours, life on earth becomes hell. If you doubt my words, talk to anyone who has lived for a while in a country where basic ethical principles have been abandoned. Continue Reading…
Overcoming the #1 goal setting barrier
I’m sure you, like me, are bombarded with emails, conversations and thoughts about goal setting, particularly each new year. If I had a nickel for each email I’ve received since Jan 1st that talked about goal setting, I’d be a rich woman! Yet, have I set my goals down on paper yet? No, I haven’t. Until this week, I have been diligently trying to avoid the whole topic, no doubt because I have had limited success with achieving any goals I’d actually written down in years past.
Then recently, some information came my way that just made so much sense. It’s not new information, that’s for sure, but I guess my mind was just finally open to it and it sunk in. I FINALLY understand why having a “why” visibly attached to your goals is so important. And even more importantly, why your “why” must be in front of you at all times. Continue Reading…
Motivation Matters
By Madiama Mbaye – Zig Ziglar once said that people often complain that motivation doesn’t last. To which he replied: “neither does taking a bath – that’s why we recommend it daily”
What is the driving force behind what you do daily! Why are you getting out of bed every morning to go do what you do? Is it to earn a living? Is it to care for your family? Or is it to achieve your goals and live the life of your dreams? Whatever your reason is, just know that it is up to you. What you want is yours for the taking. Never lose sight of what motivates you, keep your eyes on the prize if you will. There is no use waiting for something big to happen, start where you are and what you’ve got and that will lead you to something greater. Continue Reading…
