Inner Conflict?

Is there a difference between where you are, and where you want to be?  

A conflict between the inner and the outer?

What exactly is the question?  Spend some time defining it very clearly.

Once you get clarity on the question, it will be easier to solve.

Behind on your dreams?

What are you going to do about that now?

Wanna' make friends?

When you recognize or show genuine appreciation to others, they not only appreciate it, but they appreciate you – and they remember it.  

“I wanted to tell you I thought what you did was really great”, “I noticed what you did, and I wanted to thank you”, “You know, I just wanted to say thank you for what you do each day, I really appreciate it”.

People may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.

Try it today, and often.

Playing for the team

If you are on a team (and you are) – at work, in a sport, a club, or even your family team – are you playing for the team, or simply on the team?

Others notice, and people rely on you. Why not make the best contribution you can and give it 100%?

If you will change, things will change for you.

Man on Fire

Nothing can stop a man on fire with a burning desire, and singular obsession.  Maybe you’ve met someone on fire before. They spend ALL their time thinking and taking action to make their dream a reality.  They will overcome any obstacle, pay any price, and not be denied.

Have you ever felt that way?  Do you now?  

Do you have a goal worthy of lighting yourself on fire for?

Who did this?

Are we victims of somebody else’s behavior, or our own?

What did you do to cause what you have or experience?  

What did you not do?

What did you tolerate?

Who can change it?

Hijacked by the media

Many of us have a routine where we largely live in and around our homes and workplaces.  Yet we have developed opinions about groups of people, places and ideas that we have never experienced firsthand.

Often we got these ideas from the media. They presented to us what they wanted to, in the way they wanted to, to influence our opinions.  Slowly, and systematically, our minds were hijacked.

But that would never happen to you of course…or did it?

Let’s be careful.

Your Highest Values

If I asked you what your highest core values are, what would you say?  Really?  

One of mine is “making a significant positive difference in the world by helping myself and others be the best they can be”.

It may be one word.  Examples for me would be “loyalty” and “cleanliness”.

Tell me with the orange button and see what others have to say!

What are you paying attention to?

Where your attention goes, your energy flows.

What are you paying attention to these days?

Your "E vs. E" Ratio

What’s your Entertainment vs. Education ratio?  How many hours a week do you spend watching TV and listening to the radio and going to shows, concerts and sporting events?  How many hours a week do you spend learning by reading, listening to audio programs and audio books, or going to seminars and trainings?

Adjusting this ratio will likely improve your value to others and your earning ability.
