There is no doubt that communications is the most influencing aspect in our lives. Via good communications, we achieve peace, we have good families and we achieve success at work. On the contrary, few words in bad communications lead to war, unstable families and failing business. The question is, how do we define good communications? In another way, what makes communications good? I have worked on a formula that I tested during one of my project on all employees, contractors, clients and even family.

Embracing the struggle doesn’t mean to enjoy struggling. It means to learn from the struggle. So often we don’t learn from what we are going through nor do we take the time to enjoy what we have because we are too busy hoping for what we don’t have. Therefore at every moment of our life we are ignoring the present and always longing for a better future not realizing that we are draining the power from the present moment.

Almost everyone has struggled with procrastination at some point in their lives. Today's busy lifestyle seems to encourage procrastination by forcing us to instantaneously prioritize according to our hectic schedules. However, this leads to a false sense of accomplishment, because we are not prioritizing in the right way. Many important tasks are left undone because other things appear to be more important at the moment. Eventually, the undone task becomes critical on our to-do list, but there is no time to get it done.

Do you know the difference between price and cost? The terms “price” and “cost” can be confusing. The two terms are related, but quite different. The price is the amount you pay for a product or service. When you pay a price for something, the price represents the value of what you give up in order to purchase the product or service. The cost is the amount spent by the business to make the product or deliver the service. Let’s say you want to buy a candy bar.

Everyone endures bouts of loneliness from time to time. They are usually short-lived because the causes are either social (broke up with their girl/boyfriend, got a divorce, had a fight with their best friend, etc.), or geographical (moved to another job, town, school, etc.). Mentally healthy people adapt quickly to new situations and are able to establish constructive relationships. Sometimes, however, loneliness can trigger either one of two extreme reactions: isolation or obsession.

Quite honestly, the dictionary definition is inadequate, and though your mother’s opinion is probably still important, only you can define success for you!

If you’re lonely, success equals friendship. If you’re homeless, success equals a place to live. If you’re lost, success equals being found.

“What do you do that causes her to treat you that way?” was a question my counseling professor, Fr. Dr. Robert McEniry (Creighton University), taught his students to ask in a marriage counseling situation. The question presupposes that the responsibility for what happens between married partners is on each of them, not just one of them. A lonely person should ask a similar question: What do I do that causes people to treat me the way they do? All emotional healing begins with self-inventory and an acceptance of personal responsibility for who you are, how you act, and what happens to you.r

What you hate, love, fear, laugh at, cry about, or observe without sensation is determined by your own unique and wholly owned emotional structure. You and I could cheer for the same football team, yet experience it in a variety of ways. You could attend a concert with your best friend and each of you would be moved by a different song. Two girlfriends for life could watch the same sad movie and one would cry while the other would not. It’s because each of us places a different emotional value on every word spoken, every deed performed, and every event observed.

There are a large variety of spiders in Africa and all of them are quite scary. One weekend my wife had a close encounter with one of those large spiders – it was at least as large as a saucer. She was home alone with our two toddler children in our tiny house located about 11 miles into the bush from Lusaka, Zambia. She was more than alone as I was out of town and she had no vehicle, no telephone, no electricity and she was about a quarter of a mile from the nearest neighbor with no streetlights and no paved roads.

The specific combination of natural gifts and talents that you have are absolutely unique to you. No one on earth has had or ever will have the same mix of abilities, interests, and passions. It is this mix that makes you something special. Too many people go through life without taking a close look at the variety of gifts and talents they possess and so live life at about 10%. If you want to live life at a much more meaningful rate, you must discover, develop, and use the special gifts and talents God has given you.

Aviation is a very interesting field. When flying an aircraft, the pilot has to watch a small gadget called the Attitude Indicator which reveals the plane's attitude. In simple terms, the plane's attitude is its position in relation to the earth's horizon. Pilots know that the aircraft's attitude is of great importance since incorrect attitude can spell tragedy while a correct attitude ensures a successful journey, among other things. You can be adversely circumstanced in life but your resultant attitude affects you more that the actual circumstance.

Every reasonable person should ask, “Why am I here?” This is a question a man ought to ask himself before he embarks on a journey to accomplish his assignment here on planet earth. When you discover the “why” for your existence, the question of “how” to accomplish it is half answered. Victor Frankl asserts, “A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears towards a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life.

Often times, persons blame others for their own feelings. We do shift the responsibility of how we are feeling to others. We all say things like “She made me mad.” “She hurt me.” “He freaked me out.” “He makes me unhappy.” “He makes me feel bad about myself.” These kinds of comment imply that we have no choice in how we feel and that others have control over us. In the real sense, we have control – they don’t. Feelings can be strong and surge up quickly, so it’s easy to think the other person is responsible, but that isn’t true.

Tomorrow-ism and procrastinationitis are two words I've created to refer to the habit of putting off until tomorrow that which can (should) be done today.

Two extremes can invade your thought process and cause you to lose your battle with self and others. One says, “I don’t care,” and the other says, “It’s not my fault.” Aloof-ism is a word I created that refers to the mental and emotional escape route for any personal responsibility revealed by the pronouncement, “I just don’t care.” When you are aloof, you are insensitive and self-absorbed with a cold-fish kind of personality. If you care not one whit what happens to the person next door or in the next neighborhood, or the people in the next country, you’re an aloof-ism practitioner.

First of all, you are not the only person that has encountered the problems you now have; many have gone before you and survived. Second, it is not the worst it could possibly be; things may get much worse before they improve.

We have all failed at something sometime in our lives. Many have failed frequently. The real question is: which way did you fail, backwards or forwards?

Success is not an accident. It takes planning, effort and discipline. One way for you to seek your own personal success is to ask the right questions. When you ask the right questions you have a better chance to get the right answers. The kinds of questions I refer to are not mathematical equations or esoteric inquiries about the origin of the universe. I’m referring to questions about how you live your daily life. About what you think about, how you view your life, how you think and speak about yourself and your situation.

Self-talk, whether positive or negative, is your inner voice that says things you seldom speak out loud. How you talk to yourself determines the kind of person you are becoming. The good news and the bad news about self-talk is that what you say is what you get. Speak critically to yourself and you will think badly about yourself. Speak graciously to yourself and you will think kindly about yourself. Your words will either bless or curse you and only you can control them. Here are your choices -r

The first powered airplane took flight on December 17, 1903 on a wind-swept beach in North Carolina. Bicycle shop owner brothers Orville and Wilber Wright had long been testing theories of powered flight and on this day, their hard work paid off. Orville piloted the first flight that lasted only 12 seconds and covered a mere 130 feet, but their theory was proven. Powered flight was possible.

“How many hours must a flight student fly before he can solo?” I asked my flight-instructor brother. “Around 17 hours of training and he or she must make at least 50 take-offs and landings.” In other words, you do not learn how to fly by reading books and hanging out at the airport talking to pilots. Yes, there are books to read and tests to take, but you will never be handed the control of an airplane until you are fully trained and skilled at flying it yourself.

Confidence does not come easy. Fear does, disappointment does, anger does, failure does; each with little or no effort. But confidence, courage, composure, or conquest does not. If it did, more people would display it in their daily lives. Because it takes effort, because it takes risk, because it takes guts to dig down deep within the soul to mine the very best you have to offer, very few ever feel or act poised and able to assert themselves.

Many of us have an on-off relationship with motivation. We need to stay motivated all the time however we always find it difficult to move out of our comfort zones and start working. We enjoy being motivated and yet we hate the actual pushing ourselves into carrying out what we are supposed to be doing or completing tasks we have previously started. Motivation is very difficult to pin down.

Besides that I had no extra money for tuition and books. I had plenty of excuses to procrastinate.

My plan was to sit on them, cluck loudly and make all kinds of chicken noises in the morning to wake her up.

Two of the problems that I see many entrepreneurs facing is how to set their prices, and how to convey to potential clients or customers what is the value in working with you, buying your product, or using your services. This is most often because you’re not clear on it, or 100% convinced of it yourself. This lack of clarity undermines your confidence and can lead to behaviors that sabotage your business instead of building it if you try to compensate by over delivering.

With Labor Day passed and September into full swing, many of us are once again busier than ever! When time is so precious, one of the biggest culprits and thieves seems always to be email. Do you remember when you first started using email….roughly. Or more to the point, do you remember a time when you didn't use it? Most of us can answer yes to both of those questions. There was no email or internet when we were kids – at least not in the form that we use it today. So is it any wonder that so many of us are on email overload?

One of the best pieces of advice that a coach ever gave me was "Never begin your day before it's finished on paper." Over the years, this has served me extremely well. Whenever my day is not flowing smoothly, or I'm generally unproductive or "feeling a little lost" chances are it is due to poor preparation. This is equally common with the hundreds of clients I've worked with. But I've also discovered that preparing for stellar days goes way beyond the to-do list. There are also mental and physical components. A few small, minor modifications can yield outstanding results.

Business cards are underestimated as a marketing tool, yet it’s one of the things that we use most often in promoting our businesses. Your business card should be given careful consideration; something that someone will look at and get a very good idea not only of what you do, but what you can do for them.

Money. It’s never a neutral topic, whether you have a lot of it, or a little. Whether you have healthy investments, or are heavily in debt, money, in our society holds an emotional charge. The reason isn’t really money itself, it’s what it means to the quality of our lives. As the saying goes, “money can’t buy you love”, but it touches everything you do love. It affects where you and your family live, what kind of car you drive, what kind of clothing you wear, where your kids go to school, the quality of the food you eat, where and how often you vacation, and even more.

Habits. We’ve all got some great ones and some really bad one. The ability to quickly and consistently create new habits is a major factor in anyone’s success. Studies and research has found that it takes us 21-40 days of consistent, daily action to create a new habit, and a little longer if we are not taking daily action. When setting a new goal or target, personally or professionally, one of the easiest ways to reach it, is to set a new habit. Here are some examples: Goal: Pay off a credit card debt

We all do it. We put it off. Push it back. Wait. Hope. Agonize. And in the eleventh hour, at the last moment, or when we just can't stand to live with it any longer, we finally get it done! This is the anatomy of procrastination. Procrastination is one of the biggest dream killers out there. It diminishes opportunities, thwarts our progress, keeps us stuck in the past and sets us up for failure. I recently came across a great quote from the author William James, "Nothing is so fatiguing as the ete al hanging on of an uncompleted task." Oh so true.

Stress. It happens to everyone at some time or another. We get stressed about our work, our relationships, our finances, kids, health and homes. I’ve yet to meet anyone who leads a completely charmed life and never experiences any stress. However, in the last six months, I’ve seen the stress levels in clients, friends and business associates escalate to new heights. I don’t need to point at the troubled global economy or job losses as a common denominator; this is not “news” to so many who have experienced the direct effects first hand. But the question is, what do we do about it?

With overflowing inboxes, and schedules that are packed tight, making the best use of our precious hours is becoming increasingly important.

In Chinese philosophy, there is the concept we know as yin and yang. Very simply put, it’s the idea that opposites only exist in relation to each other. The outer circle represents “everything”, while the black and white shapes within the circle represent the interaction of two energies. Notice, they are not completely black or white, just as things in life are not completely black or white, and they cannot exist without each other. Here in the West we often think of Yin and Yang as being dualistic, masculine and feminine, but in the Tao they are seen as complementary and interdependent.r

Sometimes, “life just happens” (and I know a thing or two about life happening!) And when it does, there are days when everything can just feel overwhelming.Your energy level drops, apathy sets in and you’re just ready to throw in the towel, back down, or just plain quit. This can show up in many forms. It may look like settling for something that we don’t really want, but fear that we can do no better, pretending that our goal or desire was never really that important, or simply and quietly burying a dream. Often times what you need most is a little retreat to rest, recuperate and regroup.

I don’t often recall being told to forgive myself, or even being presented with the idea that it was okay to do so.
