Attitude
"“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect it’s successful outcome.”
–William James
"I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances."
- Martha Washington
“To be a great champion you must believe you are the best. If you’re not, pretend you are.”
––Muhammad Ali
"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense."
–– Ralph Waldo Emerson
I'ts not what happens to you that determines how far you will go in life ;it is how you handle what happens to you.

How Committed Are You?
This is an extremely important question. Your level of commitment will determine how much success you enjoy. It dictates the actions that you are willing to take. Commitment creates the motivation and incentive to forge ahead. We wrote down some goals for the New Year a couple of weeks back. How committed are you to achieving them?
When people are fully committed to something, they can achieve incredible results. Superhuman feats are accomplished if the desire is great enough. Have you ever seen the videos of a woman who miraculously saves a child who is trapped underneath a car? A woman who weight 110 pounds has no business picking up something that heavy. Nevertheless, her level of commitment is really high at that moment. This provides her with the adrenaline rush necessary to pull off this feat.

Dealing With Stress Before Stress Deals With You
Dealing With Stress Before Stress Deals With You
There’s a shockingly disturbing trend I’m seeing in e-mail, on blogs, and in the news. More and more people are suffering from:
* Anxiety and Anxiety Attacks
* Heart Problems
* Stress
* Sleeplessness
These, when they take a nasty turn, can lead to further health problems, relationship problems, financial setbacks, and a general loss in quality of life. At least, in most of the cases I’ve seen, most people are actively trying to make themselves better by making necessary changes. But as Daisee points out, change is hard - sometimes really, really hard!
CupWhen it comes to oversimplifying things, I’m so guilty I should be locked up for life. I’m well aware of that. But having acknowledged the fact, I still have to say that I think the answers to these problems are often within our own power. It’s sort of like me this morning. I woke up at 3:15 dying for a drink. I knew I’d left a cup in the bathroom adjacent to our bedroom. With eyes barely open, somehow I managed to turn the water on. Then my only problem was, “Where’d that darn cup go?” I felt around on the counter in the dark with my left hand, then it occured to me - the cup was in my right hand. I must have absentmindedly picked it up before turning the water on.

Victims
Unlike the previous article, this one is easy to find, easy to read and understand and best of all, when you read it, you can identify, you think to yourself, " Hey I know someone like that, wow that is so true " I hope you enjoy it and can use it to help improve your life as I am trying to
People love to play the victim. This absolves them of any personal responsibility. It also provides for an excuse as to why one did not succeed. After all, it was because of (fill in the blank).
Being a victim is a way to ensure you will never be successful. Always reaching for an alibi becomes a habit that will eventually stifle action. Take a look at the most successful people and tell me how many claim victimization. You will find this is not a common trait among this group of people.

Seeds for a better life
I read as much as I can find on self improvement and motivation, the trouble Ifind is that you have to wade through pages of ads, sort out the good from the bad, figure out who is only promoting a new product to sell or a new workshop or a new 'break through' invention designed to help you, finally I find an article to read, sometimes it is worth the trouble finding it, sometimes it isn't.
Here is a snippet of one I managed to find which I find quite good, I have gone straight to the post to save you the hassle of fighting through all the ads on this site, you can find the rest of the article at
Many people don’t allow themselves the luxury of thinking big. I think this may be due to the fact that they don’t believe in themselves enough to allow themselves to think big.
In this article I wanted to give you a technique to start the process of thinking big and I wanted to tell you why it is important to think big.
Time, and time again
To realize the value of ONE YEAR,ask a student who failed his exams...
To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby...
To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper...
To realize the value of ONE DAY, ask a daily wage laborer...
To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet...
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train...
To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident...
To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics...
Treasure every moment that you have!!
YESTERDAY is history.
TOMORROW is a mystery.
TODAY is a gift. That's why it's called the PRESENT!!
