ess-power-thoughts/> and today, I’d like to share one more: Practice Uncommon Appreciation.
Jack Canfield shares, as you might have heard, before “employees are more motivated by appreciation, the feeling included in things, and an understanding attitude rather than good wages, job security and promotion opportunities.”

Part 1Perfectionists often use negative self-talk and measure their worth by how well they do things in a perfect manner. They often think things like:
• “I can’t make a single mistake. Everything has to be just right.”

• “People won’t accept me if I make any mistakes.”
• “I don’t need help from others - I can do better than they can.”ARTArticleAre You a Perfectionist? Part 2Perfectionism rears its ugly head when you feel you must do everything absolutely perfectly.

Have you taken the time to schedule a lesson, pay for it and during the lesson you hoped time would pass instead of truly trying to follow what the instructor was teaching you?ARTArticleAre You Good Enough Yet?Core confidence is the key to breaking the never-ending cycle of not being "good enough". As you know "good enough" is relative so how could you ever make this determination as a way to being?
It is so connected to "doing" that you will always have something else to, well, do. Basing your confidence and self-esteem on what you accomplish, your job title or how much money you make is a bottomless pit - here today, gone tomorrow.ARTArticleAre You Living or Just Existing?Ever just go through the day and feel as if you can’t change your life for the better?

“Half of being smart is in knowing what you are dumb about.” ~Solomon Short.
I have been an avid researcher of the connection between intelligence and success for several decades now, and am finally ready to release my short list for guaranteed results—How to be smart enough. Maybe I should start out with the disclaimer that you can never be smart enough, as becoming smart is a forever road you have to travel. So, to become smarter, there are three aspects of intelligence to consider that collectively define smartness:
IQARTArticleAre You Still Inspired?We all face the moments where we lose inspiration and excitement for what we do. Usually we focus on employee engagement but it affects as much the entrepreneurs, and business owners as the leaders of a team, department or organization. According to a 2015 Gallup study, only 32% of the American Workforce is engaged and globally only 13%. This costs the economy billions. But on a smaller scale, just think of how much is costs YOU as the entrepreneur or leader who is not deeply inspired about what you are doing.ARTArticleAre You Stressed?What is it that is stressing you? What do you do to reduce your stress level?
There are two types of levels that can stress you, world issues and personal issues. The world issues are things that happen all over the world, they can be war, devastation brought on by Mother Nature or economic issues. Personal issues are things that happen to you directly.rARTArticleAre You Teaching Mindfulness?For the last twenty two years I’ve been enabling my clients use mindfulness in the course of their daily lives. Most of them are “big business” people – leaders in big companies and multi-nationals. And most of them tell me regularly, how mindfulness enables them cope with the enormous stresses and strains that are part and parcel of their daily lives.ARTArticleAre You Trying Too Hard?“There’s a small fly burning out the last of its short life’s energies in a futile attempt to fly through the glass of the windowpane. The whining wings tell the poignant story of the fly’s strategy — try harder.
But it’s not working.
The frenzied effort offers no hope for survival. Ironically, the struggle is part of the trap. It is impossible for the fly to try hard enough to succeed at breaking through the glass. Nevertheless, this little insect has staked its life on reaching its goal through raw effort and determination.ARTArticleAre You Willing to Take the Big Leap for Your Goals?One of the thought-provoking questions Gay Hendricks asks in the beginning of his book is:
“Am I willing to feel good and have my life go well all the time?”
Gay says: “In my view, saying yes to that question is one of the most courageous actions a human being can take. In the face of so much evidence that life hurts and is fraught with adversity on all fronts, having a willingness to feel good and have life go well all the time is a genuinely radical act.”ARTArticleAs a Public Speaker, Can You Hold Your Audience’s Attention ?Even if you consider yourself a confident public speaker, one that has no problem speaking in front of an audience or group the question is can you truly reach them? Many public speakers or presenters can get up in front of an audience and blaze right through their prepared speech or presentation, but how did they influence the audience or how effective was their presentation?ARTArticleAsk for a Raise or Change Jobs?Ask for a Raise or Change Jobs?
Mid-level employees with two years or more of experience have never been in a better position to ask for a raise.ARTArticleAt PeaceA simple phrase, but sometimes it is very hard to maintain. Peace is a state of mind, of simply being. Somedays it is hard to reach that harmony with mind, body and spirit to simply be at peace. Think about it for a moment. For the mind not to worry or be stressed, the soul to be in complete harmony and your body not to feel unrest, now that it hard to attain, but it is attainable. You just have to figure out what works for you and what doesn’t, that takes time and dedication for you to tune into yourself.rARTArticleAttitudes that Lead to Success or Failure in Making Changes to Your Self-Confidence“Change,” “growth,” “learning,” and “self-discovery” are all terms that signify the same process. When you change and grow, you begin acting differently and are seen by others as a new person. You must encourage the old you to step down and allow the new you to blossom and take its place.

Think about what you enjoy, are good at, what inspires you and what brings a smile to your face. Our passions are an indication of our skills and talents.
