7 Basic Daily Disciplines... Military Style

My father gets his sense of discipline from the military; he's a retired veteran. I never had the urge to join the military - goes against my pacifist nature - but I do have to admire the discipline that the military instills in its troops. Along with the weapons training, and war games, the Privates are taught basic health disciplines to make sure they are taking care of themselves, and to make the connection that without their health they cannot survive in the battlefield. Here is my list of the 7 basic daily disciplines from the military that we should all instill in our own lives:r

Good Intentions Are Not Enough: Make a Commitment to Yourself

How good are you at keeping your word? Many of us try very hard to keep our commitments to others. We try to call if we say we will. We make every effort to show up when others are counting on us. We try to get projects done on time. We don't promise things we can't deliver. We want our word to be worth something. That's part of living with integrity. Unfortunately, many of us are not quite as good at keeping our commitments to ourselves. How many times have you said "I'm going to. . ." only to have that intention fall away?

5 Levels of Faith

Hi there Faith-Seekers!! Faith is a word that is talked about a lot in personal development. Many of us may conceptually understand what faith is. We may even make conscious efforts to employ faith consistently in our lives. But do we really utilize faith in ALL areas of our lives? We may not. We may have faith in certain areas of our lives, yet unconsciously lack it in other areas. What would your life look like if you had faith in ALL areas of your life? How would you feel, what would you accomplish?

Are you a Toxic Magnet?

Are you an unwilling, unconscious magnet for toxic people? If you often find yourself dealing with toxic people or if the effects of toxic encounters affect you more and for a longer time than they affect others, then you may be a Toxic Magnet. Just because you have a couple of toxic relationships that need addressing or because you know some toxic people does not mean that you are a Toxic Magnet. Toxic people are everywhere. You are bound to meet a couple of every month, at least. Whether you hook up with them or not is another matter.

Are You Seeing the Bigger Picture In Life?

When we are in the midst of a crisis, it’s not always easy to see the bigger picture because we are consumed with emotions and often overwhelmed. At the time you might only be seeing the immediate situation and not the ways you are being supported through this turmoil. We don’t always recognize the “good” in the “bad”, so to speak. Our egos like to take a strong hold in keeping us stuck in the situation and not wanting our eyes and hearts to open to the bigger picture. There is more to someone/something than meets the eye.

Constructive Feedback vs. Destructive Feedback

Feedback is a tricky thing. First of all, a critique or criticism is not necessarily the same things as feedback. What separates criticism and feedback is the intent. The intention of a critique or criticism is to convey an opinion. Some critiques are negative, some positive, some articulate, and some are crass. A critique is neither wrong, nor right. It's just an opinion. A critique would be something like, "I hated your story," or "Your story really moved me."

Where is Your Life Headed?

Hi there everyone!! I remember sitting in a subway car on my way home from grade nine. I had an 88% average and I was making good money at my job, yet I was depressed out of my mind. I wasn't in a rush to get home -- I would stay on the subway for hours, not really caring about the day, caring about who I was, or caring about where I was going. My eyes were closed, my head was leaning against the wall, and my walkman was playing lyrics of rappers such as The Ghetto Boys, 2 Live Crew, and NWA. Where was my life headed?

Biology of Love

In light of current biological research, it seems that the phrase "madly in love" is not merely a metaphor. There is ample evidence to suggest that falling in love is physiologically similar to mental illness. Disorders like OCD are associated with an imbalance of serotonin, and when studied, researchers discovered that both obsessives and lovers had serotonin levels 40% below normal. Hmmm. So why is it that we often recover from the illness of love?

Apple's Business Unit Strategy

Admiring Apple for only its well-designed products and clever commercials is only scratching the surface. Apple is actually a great case study on brilliant business modeling.

4 Simple Steps to Feel the Fear...And Do It Anyway!

Hi Everyone!! Fear Factors: 4 Simple Steps to Feel the Fear...And Do It Anyway! 1. Feel It. This can be the most difficult step. It's natural to want to get past our fear and not feel any anxiety. In our attempts to "overcome" fear, we tend to sometimes ignore it or suppress it... That doesn't always work. All our fears have a specific purpose, and the only way to uncover a fear's purpose is to start by accepting it -- by feeling the fear. 2. Express It. Talk to someone about your fear. This can be a friend, a colleague, or just someone you trust.

3 Powerful Reasons Why You SHOULD Procrastinate Now!

Hi there everyone!! We are so overloaded with information today that we sometimes tend to generalize everything we learn.

Similarly, the notion that procrastination is to be avoided at all costs, is another glorified fallacy. Yes, there are many times when procrastination causes us undue stress, prolongs the inevitable, or negatively affects our productivity.

We strive to attain our goals, a specific measurable result, by this moment in time. The second kind of date is a reward-associated date.

The Heart-Break Of Ego

Yet before anything can be changed, we have to first realize what it is. What, then, is "the ego."

With the love 'out' of us, we are left with trying to get love from other people in order to fill that hole, working to earn love, get approval, constantly vigilant about what was working and what's not, and constantly expecting rejection and more pain.

3 C's of Asking

Hey there everyone!! Does asking really work? Is it "that" simple? What gets us to ask in the first place? We ask because we have a desire, and we believe that our desire may get fulfilled upon our asking. What stops us from asking? We don't ask because we don't think our request will be answered, leaving our desire unfulfilled. It makes sense. Why would we want to invest in something (making a request) that we don't believe in (getting an affirmative response)? The fundamental reason we hesitate to ask for something is because we think we won't get what we want.

9 Tips on Conducting Productive Brainstorming Sessions

Brainstorming by yourself is one thing. Brainstorming with a group of people has its own challenges. I personally love facilitating brainstorming sessions. It's like orchestrating a chaotic storm of ideas. The excitement and the energy generated during a great brainstorming session are almost addictive. If your experience in having a group brainstorming session doesn't seem to match my experience, then perhaps you should examine whether or not you're actually running an effective brainstorming session.

7 Core Distinctions of Personal Development ~ The Bridge Between Theory & Application

Hi there everyone!! What is Personal Development? There are so many words that we, or other marketers may use to describe what we think personal development is. For example, we may have heard of self-help, self-improvement, or peak-performance. We may have seen the concept targeted to a specific market, such as "professional" development. Or, if we're on the cutting-edge, we may have heard of the new trillion dollar "wellness industry." Ultimately, personal development is about improving ourselves in any possible way, in any possible aspect of our lives.

$$$ MONEY: Why do we need it???

Do you know why we use any sort of currency today (money, credit, barter, I mean any form of currency)? We have to? Why? To eat, and get the things we need for life. We use currency to keep track of all of that exchange. But, why? Why do we need to keep track of all of that exchange? Some might say, the world works that way. And because, some people would take advantage, they would be gluttonous and just vacation all the time, or they would be lazy, and wouldn't contribute.

Affirmations Part I

One thing I realized about affirmations is how important the way you state them is. For instance, I used to state one of my affirmations with the words "I am rich." That's great, because I knew that somewhere I was rich, and that all I had to do was find the way to manifest this already existing wealth. The catch was, at that period of my life when I said "I am rich" and then looked around me, not only did I not believe that, but I was also saying that "I am rich, and my life as it was currently represented being rich!" Incredible!

Right vs Wrong Decisions - How Do You Know?

There really aren’t right or wrong decisions. There is the choice you make, what transpires when you make it, and what you do from there. When you make a decision and it doesn’t turn out the way you had hoped, it doesn’t mean it was the "wrong" one, or if you would have chosen differently, it would be the "right" one. Either way, you made your decision, and now it is offering you possibilities and opportunities to learn something new about yourself, another person, or the situation you are in.

The Universe Helps Those Who Help Themselves

I remembered a story that my teacher told me when I was in high school about a student that had exams and he was going to church to ask God to help him pass them all. He did little or no study at all but he was praying. He had faith. He really believed that he will pass the exams without him reading any of the book that needed to be read, without him studying anything. And of course he failed. He was so upset and mad. He could not understand how could God do this to him. His God let him down. What kind of God is this?

Mentorship

Hey there everyone!! Finding and receiving mentorship has transformed my life in ways some find remarkable. At age thirteen, I was the first person in the Toronto Board of Education to participate in Co-Operative Education (working in the job market). There I met Peter who would become my first mentor. My job was to do computer programming; however, I found great fascination in learning about business. Peter was the owner of a relatively small company and noticed my broadening interests. He took me under his wing, explaining some of the ins and outs of daily business.

Distinctions from September 11, 2001 (Tire, Falter & Fail)

Hi there everyone!! September 11, 2001 was a historic day for all of us.

However, this is also a good time to reflect on the eloquent response of President George W. Bush and the positive message that he imparted. In his speech to Congress, the American People and global citizens, he said: “We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage.

The Key to Your Subconscious – Images, Feelings and Metaphors

Your subconscious contains all of your memories, emotions, beliefs, programs, habits, preferences and drives. It controls all functions of your body, heals and balances you when you’re sleeping. It is the gateway to your other dimensions of your being: your spiritual energy, past lives, akashic record, parallel lives, your mythic reality, symbolic reality, transpersonal reality. Your subconscious is really running the show. Or is it? Your subconscious mind has all this power, but takes its orders from your conscious mind.
