ARTArticleCommon Sense Life Mission-Based AlignmentCommon Sense Life Mission-Based Alignment Byr Bill Cottringer “Common sense and a sense of humor are the same things moving at different speeds.ARTArticleCommunication Is As Smooth As Glue"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." ~Dr. Seuss. Just like glue appearing to be very smooth until you touch it, communication can seem to be that way too, at least until you actually try to undue miscommunication already out on the table. Today we should all be very conce ed that miscommunication is much more prevalent than good communication.ARTArticleConfidence is beautiful!A woman that is confident radiates strength, passion and conviction. A confident woman is not afraid to be herself. She knows who she is. Her values, her passions, her skills, her talents and her unique gifts. She knows that she is beautiful just the way she is, regardless of what the media dictates. What is your definition of beauty? Is it the typical definition? The one that society and the media has us believing? When I began modeling at the age of 15, I defined beauty based on what others thought about me, and how many modeling jobs I would book.ARTArticleConquering FearAccording to success author, Napoleon Hill, all human beings have six basic fears: 1. The fear of criticism 2. The fear of ill health 3. The fear of poverty 4. The fear of loss of love 5. The fear of old age 6. The fear of death The best way for us to conquer any of these fears is to face each of them squarely, rather than spend the better part of our lives trying to avoid them. The answer to managing these fears lies then in our ability to focus, to maintaining the drive and desire to conquer them, and in our ability to persevere.ARTArticleConversations With An ETFor the past five years I have communicated telepathically with a member of my soul group or “cluster,” who’s having a life on a water planet in the Sirius B Star System. The majority of people believe in telepathy, and even universities, such as Duke University, have done experiments with two sets of individuals—one to be the sender and one to be the receiver. What they have not discovered yet is that if both sender and receiver would be in a light Alpha, meditative state, the results would be at the top of the chart, with just a little bit of practice.ARTArticleCosmic Ordering and the Law of AttractionAsk and you shall receive! The concept of so-called “cosmic ordering” apparently works along these lines – definitions of cosmic ordering suggest that you write out your wish list (which is somehow cast out into the cosmos) and wait for it to happen (wait for the cosmos to respond).ARTArticleCrazy Parents - Crazy ChildrenThe vast majority of people raising children are ill equipped for the job. Now, we all know the general comments like “How come they don’t teach you about this at school?” or “Why is there no training to be a parent?” But that’s not what I’m talking about. Those of us who are parents know that nothing, but nothing, actually prepares you for the day you bring your first child home from the hospital. But that’s not even what I’m talking about – I’m talking about something a lot more fundamental – and something that is ruining the next generations’ lives. Decades ARTArticleCreating Effective PeopleAs I read about the global war for talent I wonder about the employees who are not considered talent. While we are in great need of talent to drive leadership and fill pipelines for succession planning, we most often look outside of the organization to find these employees. Baby boomers are leaving the workforce taking wisdom and experience with them. Generation X are next in line ready to take charge. So what does it take to push this lot of employees to become talent?ARTArticleCreativity: The Creative Force of WordsThe creative process is advanced in the direction we desire - or not - by the power of our words. Words energize our thoughts. Words are our thoughts spoken out loud; they set the trajectory for our thoughts. They are one step closer to determining the actions we take. Guard your thoughts; they lead to words. Words breathe life or limitation into your experiences. They can inspire or they can destroy. So here's a question: What is your internal conversation?ARTArticleCustomer Satisfaction: The Ultimate Objective of Every EntrepreneurAccording to Wikipedia, “Customer satisfaction is defined as the number of customers, or percentage of total customers, whose reported experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds specified satisfaction goals." Customer satisfaction is a great indicator of customer response to your products and services and your brand identity. While figures pertaining to sales or market share reflect company’s current performance in the market, the level of customer satisfaction defines the sustainability of your brand in the market.ARTArticleDealing with Difficult PeopleThe secret to dealing with difficult people is to take the necessary action before they become difficult. Like everything else in life, if you deal with something before it becomes a problem, you’ll never have any major problems to deal with. The problem is, of course, that in the ordinary course of our everyday lives, we don’t do the small things that we know we should do, we don’t today what we can put off until tomorrow and, most importantly, we tolerate behaviour that we shouldn’t.ARTArticleDefine Success: Achieve SuccessIf you went out to buy a television set, and didn’t really know what the best one was, oh, you had a general idea, but no clear picture, what would you end up buying? You would most likely end up buying something based on what others believed a good TV set should be. Might work for you then, might not. It might even be a great TV set, but the purchase might also not be very satisfying, because others don't know you as well as you do, what you like, what you don't like. Sound like a lot of speculation and guessing? It is, and that's exactly how most of us approach our success.ARTArticleDefine Who You Are And Create Your Own Success, Regardless Of Your Past!Who Are You? It’s a deep seeded question that requires some real in depth self assessment. Only YOU can define who you are and you can change at any time! For this article, we’re going to focus on your associations with other people. By associations we mean who you spend the majority of your time with, because these are the people who influence your thinking. It’s been said that your personality and what you are going to achieve in life is the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. If you don’t like the result, you may have to change your associations.ARTArticleDelayed GratificationDelayed gratification. That's a phrase that few people like to hear—we are the "give it to me and give it to me now" generation. Literally, we don't often think along the terms of "grow” rich. We want to start a business and have it do what Google did. Everybody wants that. But can you plan on that? No. Can you plant an oak tree in your yard and have it reach majestic heights of 100 feet in one season?ARTArticleDelayed GratificationDelayed gratification.

We want to start a business and have it do what Google did. Everybody wants that. But can you plan on that? No. Can you plant an oak tree in your yard and have it reach majestic heights of 100 feet in one season?ARTArticleDestinationWhat is your destination? Ponder that thought for a moment. As you think about where you want to go, you cannot help but reflect on where you’ve been. Many have traveled a lengthy journey to get to the point where they are at right now. Where do you see yourself six month, two years or even twelve years from now? Are the people that you surround yourself with helping you reach your destination? Are the books you read or the places you go helping you along your journey?r ARTArticleDevelop Your Inner Actor to Get Out of Your Own WayIt's a funny thing. Actors are driven to perform, to take on roles that bring a world of imagination, fantasy and mirrored life reflections into believable existence. In order to achieve the performance of a character well told, the actor has to commit to the unknown, get out of their own way, and be in the present moment. This power of presence and authentic self-assurance in the role create the charisma that draws us to actors and the stories they tell.ARTArticleDiscover the benefits of daily jou alingIntroduction The word journal comes from the French “jour” which means day. Jou aling each day is having a visit with your best friend, you. This ancient practice dates back to the 10th century Japan. Successful people throughout history have kept jou als. Jou aling has a positive impact on your well being. James Pennebaker, researcher, states that writing strengthens the immune system and decreases symptoms of asthma and arthritis.ARTArticleDiscovering Authentic FeelingsThere is a balance point between feelings, that when practiced, makes for harmonious relationships. We're not usually at that point, due to the masculine/feminine bent toward opposites poles in relationship to the way we use feelings, not feelings themselves. And it's this "use" where our communications about what we are really feeling breaks down, and so causes discord. When we use feelings to manipulate, instead of communicating our authentic feelings, then what happens is the truth is not being told.ARTArticleDo Performance Reviews Really Work?Question: “Do performance reviews really work?” — Avril Balderson, CPA Firm in Australia Yoon’s Answer: Avril, my short answer is YES!!!!! They do work! So, why do they don’t work so well for some companies? …What I see is that many companies have performance reviews that just are not specific enough about what the tangible actions and behaviors they want to see more of and which they do not tolerate. This can be slippery if the company does not have a job description written out that clearly describes what the expectations are on specific tasks, results and behaviors.ARTArticleDo We Really Create Anything?TB Wright It is always useful when making distinctions, to first go to the dictionary, because the definitions of words reveal the amount of energy our race consciousness has put into the intention, or sheer force behind them. Usually the first definition is what most of our efforts have been devoted to maintaining.ARTArticleDo You Ever Feel Inadequate?Whether you are a small business owner generating a modest half a million dollars a year or the President of a $50 Million company or the CEO of a $500 Million company you probably at one time or another throughout the year have suffered from feeling inadequate. No matter what level of success you have already accomplished your eye is always aimed at the next level of success you are striving to conquer. As Marshall Goldsmith’s popular book has so well articulated — What Got Your Here, Won’t Get You There.ARTArticleDo You Feel You Are Lucky?A study on luck in the 1990s by Richard Wiseman, a psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire, who later published a book on the topic, discovered that lucky people practised four basic principles. He said lucky people are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities; make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition; create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good.ARTArticleDo You Hate Your Job? Really?According to Deloitte’s recent Shift Index survey, 80% of people are actually dissatisfied with their job. They hate going to work most days. If you’re reading this article I guess that includes You. What a way to live - I should know, because I was in that situation for the best part of a decade. I felt like I had no options, like I was trapped. And even if I did find another job I’d be worse off. This sucked all the enjoyment out of my work and I spent my days watching the clock whilst juggling 101 urgent things that needed to be done.ARTArticleDo You Have the Disease to Please?It happened without your noticing. “Yes!” slipped out of your mouth, even though you felt your shoulders rise, your stomach clench and your heart start beating a little faster. You feel resentment creeping into you as you leave the conversation. “Dammit! I caved again.” It’s a double whammy. You have piled one more thing onto your already over-full plate and you are mad at yourself for succumbing. You don’t like that you’re a pushover. (And perhaps you take on some self-sabotaging behaviors like eating or drinking to soothe yourself.)ARTArticleDo You Know the 13 Keys to Success?Introduction For some success means making a lot of money for others it might mean reaching a goal and for another it might mean reaching one’s full potential or attaining peace of mind. No matter how you define success, the 13 keys will bring you closer to your picture of what success is. What is it? For our purpose, let’s define it as the favorable outcome of an action. It is the process of growth, development, improvement and getting better. Why be conce ed with it? To live successfully one must know peace of mind. One must feel good about them selves.ARTArticleDo You Make Decisions While You Sleep?A while back I watched a movie called "Remember Sunday" where the hero suffers short-term memory loss due to a brain aneurism. Waking up every morning his mind was a total blank about the previous day. So he had to record himself daily to remind himself of important things he had to do that day. Doctors told him that his hippocampus was damaged. This is the part of the brain, which creates and consolidates memory.ARTArticleDo you work hard for money or does money work hard for you?Financial Excellence combines the two essential components of mind management and money management. Do you have a focused and creative mind + financial intelligence? Money management is all about what you do with your money and mind management is about what you allow money to do to you. At the end of the day money is simply an exchange for goods and services.ARTArticleDoes Fitness = Health?There seems to be a great deal of emphasis these days about attaining the perfect abs, sculpted upper arms, toned calves and getting rid of every ounce of fat. Magazines, reality shows, advertisements, and celebrities all tout the perfect physique; at what price? Working out at a gym, jogging, doing Pilates, Yoga or any form of vigorous activity to maintain physical health is fine when done on an appropriate scale.ARTArticleDomestic ViolenceOctober is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, but in light of all the recent publicity I decided to write about it now. A few years back I wrote a 4 part series, you can go to Blogs and then Domestic Violence to find the articles, they are broken down by the following categories: The Abuser, The Victim, Friends and Family and Starting Over.r
