Since we all must work, workplace stress is pretty much unavoidable. Once at work you find many things to stress about. This stress is not totally necessary as it is possible to manage with the right tools. You man not be able to avoid stress but you can try to manage it.

The need for everything to be done today is one cause of stress. For instance, your boss wants you to complete a stack of projects as soon as possible but then comes by looking for a project already turned in. Oh, and by the way, once you get that for him, he has another stack of projects to address. It looks like it Read More→

Successful people usually are very social and outspoken people. If you are the kind of person who is shy, then it may affect your success. Lets take a look at some of the main causes of this shyness and how we can resolve it.

So what causes a person to be shy? There are various reasons for this. One common reason is the fear of making mistakes. People who are shy tend to have this innate fear of screwing things and up and so they would rather not participate in talking to strangers or do certain things in order to avoid this potential Read More→

What does it mean to you to have more? Exactly what do you want more of? Do you even know? This question requires you to schedule a short date with yourself, for the purpose of exploring what really matters to you and what you are willing to do about it.

The Irish political activist Bernadette Davis reminds us, “To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else.” I know this takes unbounded courage and strength. Just remember, life is short. Live it your way. If you could create your life the way you want it, actually live by your standards, exactly what would you want more of? How about starting with some of the essential basics?

Would you like more time, more joy, more ease? How about some added extras: more money, romance, travel, friends, fun? For some, having more is about material stuff. Not only is there nothing wrong with wanting a new car or home, or taking a vacation, but in this process, you are empowered by deciding what you want.

Perhaps you have plenty of material wealth, maybe even more stuff than you need or want. Your “having more” list may actually turn into your “having less” list, as you purge and clear out the clutter. Too much of anything can be burdensome. Excess weight, whether it be in the form of pounds, people or worrisome thoughts, can be a drain.

Are you aware of where you are being weighed down or overwhelmed? Can you feel where you are being pushed and pulled? Where has “more” become too much? Whether you want more or less material property, this book will ask you to look beyond that. We’ll tap into your heart’s desires and discover what has real meaning to you. I once shared a cab home from the airport with an attorney. In his late 50’s, he appeared to be successful, but he looked awfully tired. The cab driver asked me what I do for a living.

When I told him I teach how to make dreams come true, he felt compelled to share a little of his life with us. “Twenty years ago I was fast tracking up the corporate ladder, when I decided to quit my job and drive a cab. Why? Because life’s too short to have stress and structure. The thought of continually doing more of the same made me nuts. In the last twenty years I’ve acted in a few feature films, wrote two screenplays and travelled to every continent in the world. I work when I want to, for as long as I want to. I feel totally free and love my life.” I looked over at the attorney and asked what he was thinking.

He said, “I’ve spent a lifetime working my tail off. I have a wonderful family who I hardly see, and great toys that I have no time to play with. I think I need to take a little break and revisit my priorities. But I’m nervous that if I don’t keep this pace up, my family will suffer. It’s just that if I keep going like this, I know I will have far greater regrets.” Beware of old programming that might immediately surface to squelch your creative process. Are you already starting to feel selfish or guilty? Does even the possibility of a life filled with more of what you want; bring up doubts, fears and concerns? Here’s one thing I know for sure. If you create a dream or a goal that you are more committed to than your reality, which includes your worries and doubts, and if you do something to move your dream forward every day or even weekly, you will transform your life.

There’s a lot of talk by people claiming that practicing self affirmations is really effective. That it can really bring positive changes to many different areas of their lives. However, many others do not experience this. They claim that despite practicing self affirmations, they don’t see any results from it.

Why is this so? How come some people experience success with it while others don’t?

Before we get into that, let us know what self affirmation is first. Doing self affirmations means to repetitively affirm to yourself the thing that you desire to have or achieve. It is done by just saying out the Read More→

Prosperity in all things is the natural, default setting of the Universe. Yes, God or whatever you wish to call the Universal Spirit would love to see a Ferrari in every driveway and It would have no trouble coming up with them. The problem is, we are wired deep down inside to repel the prospect of abundance.

The reality is that our every wish is it’s command. Unfortunately, most of our wishes come from our subconscious which is rerunning all the old, negative programs pumped into us by tired, frustrated parents, Read More→
