ARTArticleThe Like Attracts Like Attraction FactorIf like attracts like, then what do you see surrounding you at this time? Someone once said to me, if you want to know to what you're committed, just take a look around you. They are words I have never forgotten, and they can raise my spirit, or other times can leave me a little flat. Depending on how I interpret my surroundings in the moment.ARTArticleThe Next Productivity BreakthroughAs companies claw their way out of the doldrums of The Great Recession the time is rapidly approaching to prepare for the next wave of growth. Traditionally, this means ramping up the hiring process, investing in new technology, or a combination of both.

She had recently purchased a squeegee and bucket and discovered that having the right tools provided her with motivation to do the job. In addition, those tools made the window cleaning easier and faster and provided great results. Before the squeegee/bucket approach, she rarely washed her windows and viewed it as a tedious, weekend-long task.ARTArticleThe Secret to a Spectacular Life - As IFOne of the phrases that helped define the 1990s is "As if!" Immortalized by actor Alicia Silverstone's character, Cher Horowitz, in the movie "Clueless", the term connotes a derisive assertion that whatever is being talked about is impossible or very unlikely. It is another way of saying:
"As if that were remotely possible?"
"Doesn't she wish!"
"Yeah, right!"
"Not!"ARTArticleThe Un-Recipe for Success and a Tip From Michael JacksonI was busy in the kitchen this weekend. I had a yen to cook something that would slow-cook in a crock pot. I love how a house smells when there is something yummy getting ready for my tummy.
A friend called. She was complaining about her exhausting weekend. Relatives were staying with her. Each had an opinion of how she should live her life. Her career, potential relationships and even what she wore was picked apart and critiqued. Well-meaning family members had different ideas of who she was and what path was the 'right' road to travel in her struggle for success.ARTArticleTo Achieve Success In Life – Secret RevealedIs there something that you have always wanted to do?

It is the meaning you give to these events that causes the stressful reaction. What you have something mean about you or your possibilities is what spins you into a cycle of reactive stress - or a calm deliberate thought process that leads to a healthy outcome.
There are two ways you react to stress: emotionally and physically. Emotional reactions to stress are as varied as there are perspectives on any of the events of your life. The bodily reaction to stress triggers, however, is more hardwired.ARTArticleUnfulfilled?
3 Steps to Discover and Get What You Really WantPeople look at you and think you’ve got it all together. You have a life that many envy, a career, relationship and the freedom to live an enjoyable life – or at least two out of the three. On the outside you’ve put on a great show.

How visualization helps healersr
Visualization is a skill that has been used in different cultures and systems enabling access to the past and mostly future events. Lots of books have been written about visualization and variety of its techniques.rARTArticleWaiting for Something to HappenToo many people are going through their lives wishing, hoping, wanting or waiting for something to happen. “I wish I could just get that lucky break.” “I hope that tomorrow will be better.” “I want to win the Lottery!” Unfortunately, what most people don’t realize is that nothing “just happens” in life – you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do yourself to get the ball rolling.ARTArticleWant to Lose Weight? Let Go of FEARI was having fun watching my two cats play one morning when I had one of those AHA moments. I had one of those ‘out of the blue’ moments of clarity that enlightened, empowered and inspired me. The pussycats were playing a leap-frog kind of game when the play turned into aggression. Both cats ‘puffed up’ almost simultaneously. Raised hair on the back and a puffed-out tail are animalistic signs of defensiveness or hostility. In a flash, I thought of the many people I work with who are struggling with weight gain.ARTArticleWelcome Back Kotter (Likeability)!Welcome Back Kotter (Likeability)!

“Welcome back, Your dreams were your ticket out. Welcome back, To that same old place that you laughed about…”~John Sebastian, Lov’
Spoonful.
One of the most popular TV programs of my generation was “Welcome Back Kotter.” I can still hear the theme song written by “Lovin’ Spoonful” playful songwriter and singer John Sebastian, clearly in my mind as the day I watched the first show. So what made this program so popular and successful?ARTArticleWhat Do You Want Out of Life?Is it possible that your life is not the joyful, effortless, successful, happy and carefree promenade that your heart desires because, in fact, you haven’t really got the first clue what your heart truly desires at all? I’ve been working with personal development or self improvement clients since the beginning of 1996. In my experience, almost nobody has ever given any thought to what they actually want out of life.ARTArticleWhat is Personal Development All About?I sometimes get very frustrated (it doesn’t last long!) when I see the extent to which Personal Development is hijacked by people whose sole focus is on money. Go on, Google ‘Personal Development’ – the number of sites that talk about becoming a millionaire, trebling your income, achieving financial freedom! Check out Amazon and there’s a plethora of books on the same thing. Sure, people worry about money and the irony is that if you worry about money, money worries you shall have – in abundance.ARTArticleWhat You Don't Know Can Hurt You Most.What You Don't Know Can Hurt You Most.

“There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out.” ~ Russian Proverb.
What you don't know about a situation is what usually results in not feeling good about things, especially about the gap between where you actually are and where you really want to be. Quite a lot of that goes with the private business or public government worlds and it is urgent to know how to best deal with this predicament.ARTArticleWHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE IN YOUR “WILD”?A few days ago while standing in line at my local deli I watched a young boy reach for a roll of lifesavers and ask an older man who appeared to be his grandfather, “Can I get these? They help me with my wild!“
His words, “my wild” grabbed me.
The older man noticing my fascination turned to me and asked, “What do you think? Will this help him with his wild?”ARTArticleWho Says You Can't Change?Who is in control of you? Well, if you're not accepting responsibility for your life or what happens in it, it isn't you! In order for you to really create the life you want, then you have to accept responsibility for everything that happens in it. If you accept responsibility for something and want to change it, then your mind will start developing a plan of action. So if you want your significant other to show you more love and appreciation, then accept responsibility for making this happen and you will then make the necessary changes to get more love and appreciation.ARTArticleWhy Some Religions Are Dying While Others Are ThrivingWhy Some Religions Are Dying While Others Are Thriving

“Religion is to do right. It is to love, it is to serve, it is to think, it is to be humble.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson.
If you want to know a real secret worth knowing about success, look at the religions today that are growing and thriving the most and then compare them to the ones that aren’t. The thrivers follow one success prescription and the dyers follow the opposite. Here is what the thriving religions do to succeed in the tough religious marketplace.ARTArticleWhy You MUST Remember People's NamesHow many times have you had the embarrassment of seeing someone on the street, in the cafeteria, in class, or elsewhere and been addressed by name--but, for the life of you, you couldn't remember the other person's name?
But what's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. That may be true of some things, but not of people's names. A person's name, as Dale Carnegie wrote, is to them the most important sound in any language. It is their unique identifier. It is a part of them.ARTArticleWithin you is the power to change the world! Or at least your world!What does it take to change the world or your world? Have you thought about this awesome concept.
Or do you shrug your shoulders and give up?
What do you have to do? Well firstly you have to tackle your thoughts. Only if you change your thoughts can you begin to change your world and then on to changing the world. Simple, but let us dissect the actual thought processes and actions needed to really make a difference.
WILL A WAYrARTArticleYou Are Not AloneWhatever you have gone through or are currently going through, it is very important for you to know that you are not alone. No matter how devastated you feel, you will get through it. When you feel that you can’t take it anymore, you have to realize that you do have options. You have to talk to somebody to help you figure a way through it.ARTArticleYou Are Not Your BehaviourNormal behaviour is rarely appropriate and often completely inappropriate if not totally bizarre. How could it be appropriate? Because normal behaviour is triggered automatically – you don’t have to think about it, you just react – by your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is fine tuned to enable you react, using functionality known, in psychological circles, as automaticity. It is this ability that has got us so far as the apparently ‘superior’ species!ARTArticleYou’ve Got to be Brave to be Different?Simple question – how many good ideas have you had that you simply never bothered to do anything about? And, have you ever noticed that some of the most successful people are where they are as a result of some really simple idea – the kind of idea that you say to yourself “I could have thought of that!”? Well, we all have great ideas at least once in a while, we’re all struck by ‘inspiration’ from time to time – it’s just that normal people laugh these ideas off as a flight of fancy.ARTArticleYour Money or Your LifeAs I travel around from country to country, working with and talking to my various personal development clients, I am struck by the number of people who are doing what they’re doing for the money. In asking them what they would do with their life if money were no object, few tell me that they would keep doing what they are currently doing. My anecdotal evidence seems to be backed up by the extent to which the vast majority of normal people don’t like their work.ARTArticleYour Relationships Reflect Your Relationship with You"Each relationship you have with another person reflects the relationship you have with yourself." - Alice Deville.ARTArticleYour Success Depends on Your IntentionsAre your intentions honourable?! An age-old question asked by prospective fathers-in-law – and one that is at the very centre of whether or not you can achieve the success that you want out of life. In terms of aiming for success, we need to know what we intend to get. Truth is, most people have no idea what will give them peace of mind, contentment and happiness. Many believe that “enough” money will do the trick but the record shows that when people do have enough, their definition of enough simply shifts – enough turns into “more”.
