Motivation and Confidencer Motivation is the amount of or level of desire to accomplish a specified outcome. Confidence is the perception of one’s abilities to succeed inrnthe fulfillment of the specified outcome. Both are related to the same outcome. However, and this is a critical distinction, even though both are directed at a future outcome, confidence is generated from past experiences and motivation is generated from anticipation of a future result. Let’s start with motivation. This is something I would say to a student after we have identified their academic goal.

The most rapid brain growth occurs during the first year of life with the infant’s brain tripling in size by the first birthday. During this stage of rapid central nervous system growth, the brain uses 60% of the total energy consumed by the infant. Fats are major components of the brain cell membrane and the myelin sheath around each. So it would make sense that getting enough fat, and especially the right kinds of fat can greatly affect one's brain development and performance especially in the formative first year of life.

The piano is just like a mirror under your fingers rather than on the wall. It shows you, honestly, what you can and can not do yet. There were many times that I thought I understood something well enough and felt 'ready for business'; only to find out, by fumbling on the keyboard, that I was not fully prepared. Now, if you're alone when this happens it's not so bad. You can practice up and straighten out the rough passage. When you play in public or on an exam and find out you're off the mark, that's not a pleasant feeling.

We, as humans, have become experts at constructing beliefs in our minds and do not like other people telling us that we are wrong or that our beliefs might be harming us. We are also prone to making outrageous statements full of drama and excitement that we genuinely believe to be true in our view of the world. Let’s imagine a typical conversation between a couple when they both return from work: ” All hell broke loose at work today.

In the classic book Think and Grow Rich, author Napoleon Hill labels the eighth step toward riches as persistence, which he describes as "the sustained effort necessary to induce faith." That seems backwards from the way most of us think about persistence. If you have enough faith, you are more likely to be persistent. But Hill reminds us that if we continue to take action, even (or especially!) through the obstacles, we will see enough evidence to believe. He points out that we must have DESIRE in order to take the kind of action that leads to success.

Happy people generally feel continually positive and joyful and rarely do they experience negative emotions. Negative emotions are often referred to as 'baggage' and are usually the result of negative or traumatic experiences and memories, negative beliefs and negative thoughts.

ERASE THE URGE TO SMOKE Changing a habit is hard work—unless you know how. Your Right Brain can supply short-cuts that most people do not know. The change work is hard because we are designed to conserve energy, and it takes more energy to start a new brain pattern than to run an old existing habit. So we keep doing the same old, same old, even though we wish to stop. By learning more about your own brain, and particularly your own Right Brain, you can make changing a habit much easier. The key is to interrupt the old pattern often enough so that it simply gives up.

It is much easier to change a pattern if we understand a few things about how the brain works that are not well known. The most important thing to recognize is that the brain is designed to conserve energy. It takes less energy to run an old brain pattern (a habit!) than to set up a new one. So we all have a tendency to just continue to do the same old things in the same old way.

The human brain seems to hum along quite nicely, without effort or complaint, motivated by varying established patterns and routine. New research however, suggests that the brain can build neuronal connections, and easily performs much better, by adding novelty and random activity.

It is important to hand-write your goals on paper, the action of writing them helping to imprint them on your brain. However, before writing them - be they material, emotional, or spiritual goals - identify what price you are willing to pay to achieve them. At some point, expose to yourself your barriers and excuses, and confront them, writing them on another piece of paper. This list is not intended for you to dwell upon, but merely to show your acknowledgement. Compliment yourself and celebrate as you conquer each barrier or excuse.

Parents can more effectively support the healthy development of their children with knowledge of when and why their children seem to act so strangely at certain ages. What are the most frustrating years of being a parent? An overwhelming consensus of parents believe it is when children are two, and then around fourteen. Neuroscience now gives solid validation that something striking is happening during these times. It all comes down to brain-wiring.

We have all experienced loss of some kind. This may have occurred in a moment, or in a series of moments. This loss may include time, innocence, freedom, security, health, family and possessions. Around each of these aspects of loss, we also tend to hold onto fear, and that fear is often aligned with doubt. These are the properties surrounding change. Early in December 2008 I personally experienced the loss of a loved one. This, to me, brought into focus this fact of life. Change happens with or without our consent.

Some years ago, there was at my feet was a stone, a crystal really. I would have walked past it if the moonlight failed to reflect it in just the right way. I picked it up, blew off the dust and watched as the light was reflected through the prism. It was as if in that moment I was connected to this crystal and it was connected to me. It called, I listened. I tried to set it aside, I couldn’t. I was mesmerized. Without this, a new lens, I would have only continued to see at what I had always seen. I put it up to my eye and looked deeply into the crystal.

There is a silent epidemic looming, not just in this country, but around the world. Family caregivers are under-appreciated, overworked and nearing exhaustion. The reasons they continue are as varied as you and I. For love, honor or family obligation, some even do it because no one else will. By the millions these are unsung heroes who do their part to help another. They add just a bit of dignity and light to an otherwise dismal existence. They are not the only givers of care. There are the professionals, some who are well paid and others who barely scrape by.

If I were to ask your mother about you, how would she answer? Would your best friend answer in the same way? How do you think others perceive you? Are you smart, tall, easy going, hot tempered, and foolish? Are you a doctor, a lawyer, a student, a housewife? Who are you? What do you do? In certain situations we are perceived as one thing, and then we go to another and then we are, perhaps something totally different. Sometimes we even allow a conjunctive description of ourselves, such as a working-mother or African-American. Is this the way others perceive you?

It has often been said that life is but a series of individual moments strung together. When one experiences each moment fully with all of our senses, this is commonly known as living in the ‘Now’, or present time. When we look upon them fondly, we call them memories. When we look upon them as a matter of fact they are history. When an individual relives a specific moment over again, they fall victims of that moment. What causes individuals to become victims of a moment? Trauma of some sort allows one moment to be somehow, grander than another.

We humans don’t have much patience any more… not that we ever really had a lot of it, but technology has increasingly enabled us to practice our dysfunctionality with quite a flair. For example, people are checking their voice messages and mail while driving. Instead of exercising with a vengeance, we have steroids. Rather than read a book, most of us will watch a movie on DVD or listen to an audio book. Microwave ovens. Fast food – the faster the better. Talk about dysfunctional, we have become lazy AND impatient simultaneously! There’s an unlikely pair.

We find ourselves dealing with a turbulent decade that’s often being compared with our less-than-shining Vietnam war era in many ways. The current war, the economy, inflation, unemployment, information overload and moral decay are working together to stress us out. We see record levels of dependence upon prescription drugs and other substances. Technology may have changed and improved our lives greatly, but it can never replace time as a problem fixer. Of course we’ll get through the turbulence again; we always do, as any good non relenting bunch of ambitious humans will.

Don’t be satisfied with mediocrity; instead, push yourself to a higher standard and ultimately this stubbornness can translate into success. In fact, accomplishment is much more satisfying than luck! Look forward to being proud of meeting your goals while struggling through the difficult stages of your plan – this type of pride (not the boastful flavor) is not sinful at all. Not everyone is blessed with great guidance (or wealth) throughout youth, but it’s feasible and admirable to rise to higher levels on one’s own.

Not only are smokers being treated worse and worse in today’s society, but they are also being bilked out of exorbitant taxes! Further, we all know that there are health risks involved - particularly if you continue smoking for a long period of time. Your circulation, especially in the legs, will suffer. You’re also at risk of respiratory and heart problems. So, all of that being said, you can save yourself a ton of grief by getting through the transition to freedom, now. The decision to stop smoking must be a deep one.
