Your outside world doesn't have to equal your inside world. Life is always presenting new challenges to strengthen our spirit, expand our consciousness, and foster growth.

Is My Happiness Where I Really Think It is?
| |
| I have discovered that the topic of "happiness" is one of those taboo subjects that people don't want to talk about or get uncomfortable around. Which really is unfortunate because that same discussion could lead to some new information that could shift everything.
Happiness, like anything else worth having, needs to be evaluated, needs to be worked on, needs new information and tools to pave the way for a greater level of happiness and requires our attention and commitment. Happiness is something to get excited about, not something to be feared or resisted. And happiness is available to everyone regardless of any current or existing circumstances. Now that's exciting.

The Key To Happiness In The Workplace: A Lesson From The Happiest Person In The World
| |
| Happiness can be a real deal clincher. With very little often separating competing bids and tenders, the deciding factor often comes down to how pleasurable it has been in dealing with the people involved. But are people naturally happy or is it a skill that can be learnt? I learnt the answer from who I regard as the "happiest person in the world" and the answer might have you reassess how and who you hire. |

| When your world is filled with many wonderful opportunities, it can feel difficult if you feel you must choose between them, and it's equally rough if you have a hard time saying no to people.

Welcome to the First Day of the Rest of Your Life
| |
| No one said life’s rules would be easy to live by, but there is something you can do to help you through the peaks and valleys. You can create your own rules to live by. Your first rule would be to get out of your own way so you can begin to see and live the type of life you ought to be living. Your second rule would be to make a solid commitment to yourself to never look back only forward and your third rule would be to believe in yourself making it impossible for anyone or anything to deter your missions. |

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
| |
| Breaking up, separation, and divorce can be devastating – but may also provide the opportunity for self-examination and a new beginning. There is nothing easy about ending a love relationship. Breaking up is seldom the ideal resolution to problems within relationships, but all too often is the outcome, despite our best efforts to prevent it. Over the past two or three decades, about half of all marriages have ended in divorce, and the statistics for cohabitation (or living together) are higher than this.

Entrepreneurs must Regain Control and Balance in their Life

But, it is possible to regain a sense of control and balance in our lives if we learn to manage our time more effectively. When situations seem impossible things can become possible.

The Rules Apply

| Success and happiness in life come when we begin to understand that the universal rules apply to us.
Remember when you were a teenager? You were never going to get old. The concept of being 30 was so foreign to you as to not have meaning. Then, before you know it, you are 30, but you are certain that you'll never be as old as 40, etc. I can remember being a small child and unaware that the law of gravity did, indeed, apply to me. A few bumps and bruises later, the reality became clear.

The Secret to Business Happiness
| |
| A recent study revealed that the key to human happiness is the ability to live in the moment and place less emphasis on both the future and the past. This unique tendency of the human animal and our obsessive preoccupation with the past and the future are significant burdens that limit our happiness during life. The study indicates that both our stress over past events and worry about the future have a negative impact on our current happiness. Furthermore, the ability to live in the current moment and search for the contentment of the present is a critical key to deliberate joy and happiness.

Happy or Unhappy? It Depends on How You Think

Attitude at Work

It does not delineate between small operator owned businesses and large corporates, for the very reason that attitude exists in each one of us, and has a major impact on motivation, satisfaction and ultimately performance at work. Points to consider are how our personal attitude impacts on others, and how we can begin to grow this in our team members. Techniques are then given to support that. Impetus is also given to people whose negativity is playing havoc at work and impacting on other team member's.

Without Emotional Intelligence Sustainable Change Can’t Happen
| |
| Emotional Intelligence is not fluffy or “touchy-feely.” For anyone who interacts with and influences others, it is the most critical skill set to develop and improve. When you think about any situation in your own life, can you imagine it without an emotional component? Probably not. Emotions and feelings are at the core of everything we do; feeling are always involved. So how does Emotional Intelligence relate to sustainable change?

Ask, and You Shall Receive
| |
|
“Ask” is a powerful word because it calls upon another person’s most noble motive—to serve. As a result, I’ve found that nearly all people will give when asked. You may recall the greatest teacher said, “Ask, and it shall be given you.” I believe you can get almost anything you want … if you ask.

Expertise
| |
| As consultant and trainer I always teach the value of being an expert. There’s no doubt that as an expert it’s just as important to be an expert in not just product knowledge, but in your subject matter as well. This knowledge helps your confident in front of a customer or audience. It also gives you the ability to ask excellent and relevant questions. You can quote famous people and books to position yourself as an expert, but you can’t fake expertise very long. |

A Life Worth Living
| |
| To achieve your Core Desires-whether they are earning more money, enjoying more intimacy, or having more joy in your life-you need to grow, become more, learn, and change. How fast you grow is within your control; you can experience great growth if you desire it. But you can't just sense a need to change; you can't "sorta" want to be more or have more. If you are willing to grow, life as you have known it will never be the same. |

|
Seven Steps to Positive Power
| |
| As part of your spiritual refinement, you might seek to eliminate the character flaws that affect your life most negatively and to add as many good traits as possible, since all good traits affect your life positively. Only a clear perception of the exquisite worth of your spiritual traits will cause you to rid yourself of your negative habits and cultivate positive ones. The more negative habits you can weed out, the better your life will become. Some habits may disappear as easily as pressing the delete button on your computer keyboard; others may take years to overcome. |

Learning: Secret to Lifelong, Success
| |
| Everything we are, will be, have, or are yet to have is a direct consequence of what we learn and apply. Learning and acting upon our knowledge enable us to make meaningful contributions.
The more you know, the more you realize how much you don't know. You must continue to seek out new perspectives and truths to enhance your ability to achieve your Core Desires. Continual learning is critical and affects every area of your life. Learning is a lifelong process and should be fun and exciting, bringing you increased levels of success and enjoyment. |
|
|
Accept the Truth about Yourself
| |
| You must drill down to the core of your heart to find the real truth about you as a person. The real truth is always much better than your truth about you. Generally, the way others see you is much better than the way you see yourself. Change your self-paradigm and accept the truth about yourself-that is how you will begin to grow and achieve differently. As your belief in yourself increases, so does your ability to accomplish anything your heart desires. Your life will become much richer. |
|
|
Creating Great Family Relationships
| |
| When asked what is most important to them, most people respond with one word-family. When you have a family where love is expressed, and shown, the benefits are overwhelming. A happy family where respect, laughter, love, and fun exist is truly a bit of heaven on earth.
If your spouse is thoughtful, supportive, a teammate, and a friend, you'll attain greater happiness in all areas of life. If your children are close to you, bonding as siblings, developing mentally, physically, and spiritually, who can measure the joy you will know? When the trials of the world weigh heavily upon you, your family becomes a true source of strength, encouragement, and peace-a shelter from the storm. |
|
|
The Unlimited Power Within
| |
| An unlimited power to create lies within you. When you act on your Core Desires, the outcome is often far grander than you might imagine. "Outcomes are often not what I expect," said Wally, "and yet I always find myself feeling completely satisfied with the way things work out. When you have faith in the outcome, no matter what it may be, you cannot stop yourself from living and working with enthusiasm. As I put what I feel into action, I am filled with vitality and happiness."
When Wally was forced out of his own cookie company, it seemed utterly unfair. But he refused to be a victim: |

Creating Space - Your "Someday" Could Be Your Today Or Your Yesterday - You Choose

| What is it about getting rid of piles of unread magazines, tossing out that accumulated junk hiding in drawers, donating clothes that haven't been worn in years, and letting go of old projects waiting to get our attention? Why do we allow these "someday" things to take up so much space in our environment and in our head?

|
Success and Leadership - The Measuring Sticks of Success
| |
| We often use the wrong measuring stick as to our worth and achievements. It is the money stick! We get mesmerized by the glitter of celebrities and the Fortune list of the wealthiest people. We compare ourselves with a system that honors entertainment more than education, more than how we care for our families, or how hard we work. We compare our bodies to bodies that we are told are the bodies to have in order to have happiness. We need to stop comparing ourselves with unrealistic goals. What's good for one person is not necessarily good for you or me.

Personal Success Strategy - Schedule a Mind-Rest Date

| It is not uncommon for people to get so tangled up in the quagmire of struggle when going through change that they forget to give themselves a mind-rest. Yes, a mind-rest to let go of the worries and everyday routines that occupy a great deal of time.
|
|
|
No Excuse!
| |
| Find your excuses. Who or what are you blaming? Who or what are you using to justify staying stuck or unfulfilled or limited? It doesn’t have to be that way.
Be honest with yourself and identify one area of your life where you are using a reason (truth) as an excuse. Take responsibility for your own happiness. |

How Good do You Feel?
| |
| Sitting on the side of my pool with my feet dangling in the water, bright blue sky over head with whispy white clouds like tiny puffs of smoke drifting along; the sun making my skin feel alive and tingling.

I Blame…..

Probably grappling with the traffic on the M25, or hunched over reports that had taken over my dining room table as well as my office room, the breeze is warm heralding the coming months of summer, the only blot on the idyllic picture is my green pool!!!! But hey life is not perfect is it??? Or should we be expecting life to give us happiness, and then we can also blame the Government, the neighbours, the children, the economy, our partner for all the things that are wrong in our lives too!! Great cop out, |

Leadership Lessons: Automatic Happiness

Assess – Are You a Victim or a Victor?
| |
| Before you can determine where you are going, you need to assess where you are right now. The act of assessing allows us to establish benchmarks from which we can action. If you are interested in being a victor in 2009 and tired of being a victim, maybe it is time to assess your life.

Grabbing Life by the Tail
| |
| How’s your life going right now? If you had to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10, would it be an 8 or better? If someone could take a snapshot of your life at any given moment, what would it look like? Are you laughing, smiling and happy, or frowning, sad and worried? It seems as though negativity and dissatisfaction is quite commonplace and a happy, positive, upbeat mood and lifestyle is rare. Granted, society, current events, and everyday occurrences do play a major role, but doesn’t it make you wonder if you’re on top of life, because you’re successfully calling the shots, or life’s on top of you, stealing your happiness and satisfaction, making you follow where it decides to take you. |
|
|
Here and Now
| |
| Are you capable of letting things go easily; like water rolling off of a duck's back? Can you put things in the past and let them remain there? Are you predominantly temper-free? If so you're in the minority. I'm sure you've heard the saying "Live life in the present." It's one of the best pieces of advice for obtaining and maintaining a happy, healthy, and prosperous life.

Leadership Characteristics - Taking Responsibility
| |
| Let’s talk about individual responsibility. There are three types of people – those whom nothing is ever their fault and it is always the fault of someone else (their mother, the government, computers, management etc). Then there are those for whom everything is their responsibility.
You can recognise these people by the harried looks on their faces and the need to please and ensure that everyone is happy. Then you have the middle group – those people who know their boundaries, own what is theirs and let the rest go.

Self Leadership - Your Emotional Guidance System
| |
| At work or play you're permanently being guided by an internal emotional guidance system. It's like one of the in-car GPS navigation systems. You punch in where you want to go and you constantly receive self leadership feedback as to whether or not you're on the right road.
If you watched "The Secret" many of the teachers talked about listening to your inner wisdom. If you feel good inside, then you are on path and miracles can happen. If you are feeling very uncomfortable, then you are blocking your flow and making life harder than it needs to be. |

A Little Boy and His Empty Bag
| |
| I recently accompanied my mother on a routine medical appointment with her new physician. This morning appointment and the literal change was more out of necessity than choice since her physician of over twenty years finally threw in the towel and retired. While completing the enormous mounds of paperwork required by a new medical provider in today's contradictory electronic world, I noticed a young mother walk into the waiting area with two small children. The mother was probably in her early twenties and the children, one girl and one boy, looked to be four and three respectively. She was flanked on both sides by these extremely well kept and well behaved young children. The boy more noticeably was on her right hand and closest to me as they passed by in order to check in with the receptionist and eventually find a place to sit. |

The Ultimate Wealth

Forgiveness - Letting go in order for you to be able to give again. Forgiving = For giving
| |
| It is a way of releasing yourself from the need for the person you feel hurt by to do anything to make you feel better.
And there’s no requirement that you forget, but simply forgive, as in let go of the holding on of the pain, and the holding the other person responsible for your happiness.
See them as having done the best they could, even if it was very worst for you. It was still the best they could do. And let go.
See that you too did the best you could at the time. See my article - "How to let go and move on from regrets"

Two Secrets to Creating Abundance NOW!
| |
| The first secret to creating abundance is learning what abundance isn’t. Abundance is not happiness. Abundance is not determined by our bank account, the square footage of our home, or the make of our car. If it were, then we would see wealthier people behave as though they are happier and the middle class demonstrating signs of misery. Yet hundreds of experiments show unequivocally that, once basic needs for comfort have been met at a modest, middle class level, the correlation between wealth and happiness disappears. Poof! Chasing after money in the hope that it will buy us more happiness, intimacy, or fulfillment is a waste of energy based on an invalid hypothesis. |

Embracing the Shadows
| |
|
In Western Civilization it is common to ignore our challenges, our innermost issues-the beliefs and feelings that truly hold us back from enjoying all of the love, peace and beauty we deserve.
When we don't look at our own "shadows" we miss wonderful opportunities to grow, and to accelerate our growth by leaps and bounds. When we dare to take a risk and to explore our shadows, we build courage and faith. As a result of our efforts, we experience a sense of release-igniting personal and spiritual empowerment. |
