ARTArticleDo We Have a Common Purpose Here?Do We Have a Common Purpose Here? Byr Bill Cottringer “Life is a promise; fulfill it.”~ Mother Theresa. I have been thinking about this question for a long time now during my life’s educational classes—my journey through formal schooling, interacting with a wide variety of people, working in several different careers, observing nature closely, learning from “teachers,” listening to different religions’ church sermons, reading many books, and watching lots of movies.ARTArticleDo You Have Integrity?I suspect that we all like to think we have integrity, but what exactly does this mean? Integrity usually means that a person is trustworthy, reliable and has a set of values that make them respected by their friends and colleagues. More literally, integrity means a consistent combination of attributes that work together. These are related by what we call values. First, our values should result in actions that result in “good” things; second, people like to have a consistent response. Both of these make up integrity.ARTArticleDON’T GROW OLD, JUST GROWI wish someone had told me this when I was in my 20s: Don’t grow old, just grow. But whatever age you currently are – there is still time to just grow. SEEING INTO THE FUTUREr ARTArticleDriven to DistractionA couple of months back, the New York Times ran a series of articles with the above title – all about the manner in which road accidents are almost invariably the result of a loss of focus or, in plain English, not paying attention. Again, I notice that Loughborough University in the UK has recently published research that indicates the extent to which we are distracted from what we are supposed to be doing by the modern phenomena of texts and emails. The research indicates that the vast majority of emails are replied to immediately – often within six seconds.ARTArticleEmotional Intelligence Is Limited by ReactivityOne of the biggest blocks to emotional intelligence and effective communication is emotional reactivity. You know how it is, you have all the best of intentions to have a productive communication with somebody and they say the “wrong thing” – the thing that pushes your “hot button”. Often it can be a criticism, or a negative reaction to your “great idea”. In any event, defensiveness arises and communication becomes regrettable. This shuts down any creativity or collaboration that could be possible in this situation.ARTArticleENGLISH EXPERTISE: WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISHUSE IT OR LOSE IT. This applies to all English speakers and those who are learning English. So here are 10 tips to improve your English.ARTArticleEnsuring Personal Income Success And Achieving Financial FreedomThe attributes of personal income success have been well demonstrated in the movie by Will Smith "In Pursuit Of Happiness". Though he was in a tight spot, he remained focused and believed he could achieve financial freedom despite the circumstances surrounding his life. I am personally yet to watch a movie that in detail proves that persistence is the secret to achieving wealth. The worst thing that you can do in life is to give up.ARTArticleFacebook Etiquette 101As businesses increase their use of social media to attract new customers to their products and services, Facebook can be a valuable tool for attracting your ideal client. According to HubSpot Blogr ARTArticleFeel the Fear and Do What You Love AnywayEach of us has a glorious, divine purpose for making a unique and positive difference on this planet; that is, for leaving a powerful legacy. And guess what? Your passion and your talents together point directly to your purpose. Pretty obvious, eh? Most of us have a good inkling as to what our true passions are – what we would do for free or what we would even pay someone else to let us do. In fact, most of us share our passions for free, either as a hobby or through volunteering.ARTArticleFeeling EuphoricLet’s start out with the definition of euphoric before I start talking about it. Euphoric: characterized by or feeling intense excitement and happiness. Great, now that we have that out of the way we can jump into it.ARTArticleFocus Your Mind – It Will Clear Your Path to SuccessA clear mind is the only state of mind worth being in. It enables you appreciate what’s actually happening around you and places you in a position to act – rather than react, which is the normal response of so-called normal people. A clear and focused state of mind alerts you to the opportunities of the moment so that you can grasp them. On the other hand, a normal muddled mind won’t notice opportunities at all. And a clear mind, focused in the here and now enables your subconscious lead you towards what you want out of life.ARTArticleGrow Up. Move Out. Move On. Moxie Up.I often ask successful people what was the best piece of advice they ever got from a parent. What words of wisdom carried them forward as they achieved their personal and professional goals? Responses such as "Don't take anything for granted", "You have to work hard and struggle for success" and "It takes money to make money" are among the most common. I posed this same question to Wendy, a woman I met at a luncheon not long ago. Her quick response was "Grow up. Move out." That was her Dad's mantra to her ever since she was a very young child.ARTArticleHappiness Beyond BeliefHere’s a question that you may have never seriously asked yourself. Are you happy with yourself and with your life? The chances are that there are things that you would like to change about both you and your life – I have rarely met anyone who is truly happy, they are few and far between. People often believe that if they improve themselves, lose weight, get fit, buy a new car, go on a great holiday, move house that, then, they will be happy. That kind of happiness, however, is fleeting and superficial. Happiness should be lasting and not dependant on having this or doing that.ARTArticleHere's a 'TRASHY' SubjectTrash. We’ve all seen it. Most of us have walked around it, next to it and over it. We pretend it’s not there! Perhaps we’ve become oblivious to it, or we just don't care? This past weekend, our local Camillus, NY Chamber of Commerce organized a small clean up on one main street, in a small 1 mile radius. We were 7 people strong. Included in the group were the Chamber president who didn’t think picking up trash was beneath him. Now that’s an example of leading by example!ARTArticleHOW TIME CAN MAKE OR BREAK A RELATIONSHIPKILLING TIME OR KILLING THE RELATIONSHIP I was once in a relationship but the person just had no time for me. All the time he would give excuses such as busy at work, got to attend weddings, got to meet up with old friends, got to meet up with his boss on a Sunday night! And the excuses went on and on. He even mentioned he was wasting time! That was the last straw that broke the camel's back! The ultimate insult – talking with me is wasting time. LOW ON THE PRIORITIESr ARTArticleHow to Achieve Financial FreedomOver the many years that I’ve been working with clients who want to better their lives I’ve come across the goal of “financial freedom” – people looking for an end to financial worry (over 905 of males claim that it is their greatest source of worry), people looking for “passive income” or people wanting to have “more than enough”. But, what is “more than enough”? In a comment once attributed to Rockefeller (I’ve really no idea whether he said it or not) he is reputed to have said that “Enough is just one more!” Enough, perhaps, is never enough.ARTArticleHow to Cope with StressI’ve just spent a couple of days with a client here in the French Alps – someone who regards his personal development as of paramount importance in his life, someone who has altered his daily routine, going to bed one hour earlier to ensure that he has an extra hour each morning for meditation. He has been regularly meditating for up to an hour each morning for the last two years. The benefits? His health and fitness have greatly improved.ARTArticleHow to Define Empowering GoalsYour goals say a lot about you– they express who you are and what you stand for. Empowering goals take you into life where you want to be. They bring you purpose, passion and a sense of accomplishment.ARTArticleHow to Embrace Aging with Grace and EaseDid you know that more than 90 million people purchased anti-aging products in 2004, as reported by the National Consumers League (NCL)? Is it just me or does it seem like we're constantly being told that growing older is a bad thing? Everyday we are bombarded with advertisements for anti-aging products.ARTArticleHow to Forgive and ForgetWe have all heard the phrase, “Forgive and forget,” but how easy is it do either of those things? If only we could forget… maybe it wouldn’t be so hard to forgive. And sometimes we’ll offer someone our forgiveness… but the truth is that the scar of their unkind words or deeds remains. How do you “get over it?” When our emotions get hurt, it can take some time to heal. Arguments can lead to resentment, especially if we tend to repeat the same misunderstandings with the same person over and over. It’s easy to take another’s actions personally, as well.ARTArticleHow to Get High - The Legal and Healthy WayIt's a funny thing... We come into this world full of wonder, amazement and an audaciously authentic ability to laugh out loud at whatever tickles our funny bone. To our young minds - free of attached meanings, assumptions and suppositions - the world is a delightfully cacophony of silliness. Just looking at Mom or Dad evokes a sense of pure joy and well being.ARTArticleHow to Get Motivated!What is procrastination? It is the avoidance of action towards the start of or completion of a task and/or project. The reason that you procrastinate is not important, because it has become habitual and an automatic response for you. What is motivation? It is the focus or energy necessary to create action towards goal completion! Being motivated is essential for you to not only start, but to complete projects. This is where the reason becomes important!ARTArticleHow To Get What You Want!Have you ever wondered how people get what they want? I mean people who consistently get what they want, you know the ones that others call lucky or fortunate or think that they have some unfair advantage over others. Whatever others think, I am sure you are wondering how they can do this. I'll give you a hint: "The first step to getting what you want out of life is this: decide what you want." - Ben Stein To be truly happy and appreciative of what you get out of life, then you need to know what you want.ARTArticleHow To Have Confidence Overcoming Shyness, GirlsWant to have confidence overcoming shyness, girls? Here are three power steps to do so. 1. Fake it till you make it. By behaving in certain ways, we can change how we feel. Studies done at the University of Califo ia School of Medicine in San Francisco had volunteers make six facial expressions signifying various emotions. When the volunteers looked afraid, their bodies reacted as if they were afraid: their skin temperature dropped and their heart rates went up. The same with anger. Similarly, feigning confidence can help you feel more confident.ARTArticleHow To Help Your Child Get Over ShynessShyness is very common in children. Think of how often a very young child is afraid of strangers. Perhaps a child hides when a service person comes to visit, or even during a visit from Uncle Charlie or Aunt Freda. On the other hand, a child may seem to be gregarious in his or her early years, but may develop shyness later on. Why is this, and how to help your child get over shyness?ARTArticleHow to Make a Positive First Impression with International ClientsWe have all see Americans depicted on film as loud and obnoxious when travelling. The stereotypical picture of the American couple in beach shirts comes to mind. It may be funny, but what happens when it’s your turn to travel overseas on business. You may be eloquent at home but how is your etiquette overseas? Are you prepared to handle business situations overseas or with your international clients? One of the first things you will need to do is some homework.ARTArticleHow to Resolve your Relationship Conflicts through CommunicationRelating with others is a delicate balancing act between having our own wants and needs fulfilled, and making sacrifices on behalf of the other person. In other words: relationships are about give and take. The line where things grow blurry is in the everyday exchanges we have with those we care about. * When is it okay to say what we really feel – even if it’s ‘not 100% good news?’ * When is it better to “spare” the other person from our true thoughts and feelings, because exposing them might cause pain? * Is it ever right to ask or expect someone to do things differently?ARTArticleHow to Tap Into Your Intuitive Moxie Power“The only real valuable thing is intuition.” - Albert Einstein Everyone was born with the magical power of intuition. Intuition is a clear flow of information that is available to you that is aligned with your authenticity, highest path and purpose. Intuition is one of the most amazing resources at your disposal. Yet so many people don't tap into it let alone rely upon it.ARTArticleHow to Unleash your Creative Thinking.How to Unleash your Creative Thinking, for Ideas that PAY-Off. By Steven Donnini In our highly competitive world, we become more valuable as “Human Capital” if we can solve problems, or overcome obstacles at work and play. Creating new products and services becomes a valuable attribute of an employee, or team member, when they can think creatively on demand. In fact, one idea can change an entire industry, or change the game plan. There are many theories about how creativity works in the human mind, but what matters is what really works.ARTArticleHow to Wake Up the Dead InsideSome people live their lives stuck in an exhausting treadmill. Too tired to change course they tolerate seeing the same sights, having the same experiences over and over again. I know a few people who lost or quit a job every couple of years with the excuse that their boss is a jerk or they're bored out of their minds. I was one of those people.
