Create a Positive Attitude
September 4, 2008
I cannot express just how important it is to create and maintain a positive attitude and belief in your ability to accomplish your goals. Creating a positive attitude will determine how successful you are in life and ultimately your ability to accomplish what you want. The idea that your thoughts and belief in your circumstances will determine your outcomes in life has been highlighted throughout the ages in spiritual scripture and demonstrated more recently in scientific research.
Hope in Faith Theory
Today, numerous studies have been conducted to support this idea that all things are possible to you if you believe they are possible. For instance, recent research by C.R. Snyder, a positive psychologist, does a great job of laying it out in a theory he developed called Hope Theory.
For Snyder, hope is one’s ability to identify ways to achieve their goals and to motivate oneself via thinking that will lead them to explore and ..... Read More
Create a Success Plan
August 18, 2008
Imagine you are about to head out on a road trip to a place you have never been before without directions. If you have time to waist and are just looking to do something really out of the ordinary by blindly seeking your destination you may take this approach. 99.9% of the time however, I think it is safe to assume you would want directions. Additionally, in a best case scenario, you probably don’t want general directions; but rather, you’d prefer to have the most precise directions possible to get where you want to go. Naturally, this would significantly increase your chances of not only arriving at your destination; but also doing it in the most time efficient way possible.
Wouldn’t it make sense for you to take the same approach to life? We all have goals and a life we would love to live; yet, we are going on that journey without directions. The lack of a plan really complicates things and jeopardizes our chances of success. In contrast, the ..... Read More
Finding Your ‘Sweet Spot’
August 18, 2008
Each one of us has a ‘sweet spot’. The ‘sweet spot’ is the area in life where you want to be and are successful being there. For many of us, we are not properly placed. Whether it is in school or in the working world, many of us are surviving in lives where we are not in a place that provides us the best opportunity for happiness, success and fulfillment. Sometimes it is a result of our choosing where we have just come to accept where we are. In other cases, we don’t like our circumstances and want to do something to change them but are not sure exactly what to do or where to turn.
If the later is where you would place yourself you are far from alone. In today’s media blitzed world that we live in, we are presented with countless messages on an ongoing basis that proposes to have the answer to what we seek. However, I believe the key to finding your ‘sweet spot’, your place in life where you can flourish, is to ..... Read More
You Are a Masterpiece
August 11, 2008
The self-image, our subconscious representation of what we believe about ourselves, is the guidance system for our lives. If our self-image tells us we can do it, we can do it, if our self-image says you are no good and are a failure, you can be sure defeat will follow. Unfortunately, life is not always perfect. Even parents who love us and have the best intentions for us make mistakes and end up constructing our guidance system in an inefficient way.
The truth is, while we may have been fed information during our childhood by others or even ourselves that says we are not talented, the truth is each one of us is a unique creation of God that contains talents and positive attributes that are unique to us which can have a positive aspect in the world. We all have value and we need to realize that.
The key to putting a winning mental self-image together is to first understand and accept the fact that we do have strengths. Yes, each one of us is ..... Read More
