You definitely don’t want that. All that unwanted media attention, the psychiatric evaluations,
the police…

No way!

You want your child an upstanding and normal citizen.

You want Your Children To Grow Up Happy & Confident!

Bottomline:

You’d find numerous ways to explain values to kids and to help them grasp them and learning early in life about the principles of success. These techniques don’t demand that you do all the talking, just that you guide the learning process so your children can visualize your priority values for themselves. Inherent to the picture is knowing which behaviors exemplify the value and which demonstrate the opposite.

A responsibility as a cool parent is to explain your values in behavioral terms. Help your children grasp the emotional results of behaving in accordance with each value. In other words, it feels great to do the right thing. Let them see that that is the “What’s In It For Me” (more…)

“Yes dear… I’ll show up at 7pm sharp”

… then you don’t.

An critical indicator of your control over your own life is the percentage of commitments you keep. Your objective, of course, is 100 percent. When you honor your agreements, you are doing it not only for the happiness of other folks involved, but also for your own personal benefit and fulfillment.

So why, then, do people make commitments they are relatively certain they will break? One reason is the desire to please others and to avoid possible conflict. For example, let’s say your superior asks for a report on Thursday and you know it can’t be ready by then, but you don’t want to frustrate him, so you consent.

Fear is another reason for making commitments you cannot keep. Let’s say you’ve made plans to meet for dinner and the theater with your wife at 5:30, but at 5:00 your boss asks you to work late to finish a critical project. You know your wife has already left for the restaurant, but you’re afraid you may be passed over for a promotion or even yelled at if you turn your boss down. So you leave a message for your wife at the restaurant, telling her you can’t make dinner and she might as well go on to the theater without you. You then grit your teeth and do the work, distracted, feeling guilty, rushing to finish, operating under stress and interrupted by several phone calls from your wife. When you have finished the job, you get to the theater just in time to see the third act. And your wife, needless to say, is annoyed and angry.

We secretly admit deep down that money can’t buy happiness… and we refuse to believe it. Yet we need only look to observe the many glum folks living at the loftier socioeconomic levels. Many of the well-heeled don’t appear have larger smiles than people of modest means. These wealthy folks actually laugh less, jump for joy less, and tend to be blown away by simple business setbacks

Did you know that rich people rarely experience the bliss and satisfaction that supposedly come ribboned with wealth. They may be swimming in cash, but their state of happiness reflects quite the opposite. A 1995 study by University of Illinois revealed that 1/3 of the richest people in the USA are not actually as happy as the average-income person in this country. (more…)

There’s a secret: Positive Self Imaging.

Positive Self-Imaging is a holistic technique to catapult you to your destination. The method of mental bimaging gives you an internal map to your sunconscious and conscious behaviors. As you mentally focus on where it is you want to go, and you’re determined to reaching your destination, your actions often follow. Literally, your actions spring from your mental images. Precisely, you usually won’t move if you haven’t already visualized yourself mentally rehearsing the outcome. How you visually represent yourself, in any given situation, is what you transform into, and how you will act. When you solidify your images in a constructive way, positive things happen. Focusing on creating uplifting, pleasurable changes in your life buoys you with uplifting sensations of self-confidence and self-determination. (more…)

Fact: Thousands wallow in depression because of insecurity.

When you ignore the positive feelings tied with accomplishment, it’s easy to slide back into negative self-talk and sabotage your success. In this insecured state, you may find it tough to focus on or permit yourself to enjoy feelings of accomplishment as feelings of self-judgment then emerge. Talking to yourself in a dark way reinforces habitual, unhealthy behavior. A sentiment such as, “Why forge ahead if I never get anywhere?” reflects a lack of self-confidence and low self-esteem. The self-chastisement involved in focusing on past failures, rather than past triumphs, keeps you in the shadows of uncertainty where there’s no opportunity for flying high.

When your self-confidence and sense of security are deficient, you may impose a retreat on yourself to escape taking challenges or risks. When a highly successful event does happen, you may conceive that it’s sheer luck. Self-talk and beliefs such as “My effort has no effect on the outcome,” may stem from previously programmed ideas that you received from deprecating others. (more…)

Why People Are Afraid To Take Risks & Leave Their Comfort Zones

When we consider actually moving toward our heart’s desire, a part of us automatically looks ahead to the possible consequences - especially the negative ones. Our “comfort zone” glooms onto these negative consequences. The comfort zone argues it’s the actions that will bring on the negative consequences. (more…)

Instead, gun for more realistic goals!

The more effectively you can measure a goal, the more likely you are to complete the goal because progress itself is a tremendous encourager. Even though you can’t see progress by the day, you will by the end of the week - or certainly by the end of the month.

Many people set goals that are completely out of reach, whereas others set them so low that they represent no challenge. Both approaches are unrealistic. Many people knowingly set impossible goals so that they have a built-in excuse for not achieving those goals. This practice is clearly self-defeating. You must have a realistic chance of reaching a goal, combined with a belief that you will reach it, in order for it to have long-range motivational impact.

Are you constantly griping? Looking at the bad side of things ultimately makes it a self-fulfilling prophecy: everything goes rotten!

Rememer, you are what you think you are.

Instead of complaining about what you lack, cultivate and appreciate what you do have. Nurturing your attitude so you become a positive person, and appreciating who you are based on your capabilities, will create a positive outcome. Your trip to success depends on the decisions you make. Your task is to envision the situation from a ’selfless’ perspective rather than a selfish one. Take responsibility for your actions. If you feel your actions produce negative results, and the outcome is unacceptable, then shift your actions.

As you allow yourself the liberty to change, you also allow yourself the freedom to rise and discover new roads to success. Remember a time or a situation when you faced a moderate degree of challenge. You may have noticed a distinct change in your feelings. As the time drew closer to achieving whatever it was you set out to accomplish, you felt more alive and more aware of your surroundings. Your aliveness and vitality produce pleasurable feelings and is self-encouraging. Your paradigms and emotions reach new peaks and plateaus as you plot your direction with conviction.

You’re in the midst of work then …

Aw… man.

Or you’re finishing a 97% complete report then ….

Okay. Familiar? I can imagine your blood pressure rising when that happens. What is an interruption? An interruption is anything that seizes your attention from an activity you have chosen to do to for an activity that someone else has purposely or inadvertently chosen for you. Interruptions are normally random and without any consideration for the importance of, or impact on, your time and your personal priorities. Interruptions chew up time and energy. They cost you loads of money if you consder wasted man hours.

There are two primary causes of interruptions you face daily at home or at the office: telephones and people dropping by. The telephone rings, and you automatically pause what you are doing to answer it. The doorbell rings, and the same thing happens regardless of the importance of the task at hand. Someone is forcing you to switch gears instantly even though it is not your choice. “I’m not interrupting, am I?” is the typical remark. “Of course not,” you answer politely without an ounce of integrity. Whether people interrupt you in person or on the telephone, they always seem to have something on their minds that just can’t wait.

The time wasted because of an interruption extends beyond than the time span of the actual interruption. For instance, you are focusing on writing a report, business plan, or important letter when your concentration is shattered by the ringing of your phone. Not only do you lose the time you actually talk on the phone, but it will normally take you several additional minutes to regain your focus and get back up to speed with what you were working on. Switching gears takes time. (more…)
