Life is a Mirror

Philosophers through the ages have taught us that individuals attract the same energy they put out to the universe. If you think negative thoughts, then negativity will come back to you. If your outlook is positive and upbeat, that is how the world will approach you. I am not a philosopher myself, but I subscribe to the simple wisdom that energy begets energy. I see applications for the theory especially helpful in the working environment. I have been having some discussions with students recently and would be interested in your comments in this forum. Some people are constantly feeling besieged with problems coming at them from other people, who they say have bad attitudes. My take is that if what you see coming at you is other people that are sour, it is really a good time to take a long hard look in the mirror.

What Excuse are You Using to Not Improve Your Situation?

I'm sure you have found yourself in the exact same situation. Think about how many times you've heard yourself saying one of the following statements... I am just too busy.

I read a statement in an article earlier this year and was compelled to write it on a post it note and stick it to my desk.

Is Your Ego A Spoiled Child!

Have you been looking to or trying to understand better who or what the ego is as a way to understand it so that you can get past it? I have and I've been given some interesting answers from my Angel Guides. The ego has for far too long gone unchecked and has caused much havoc and it is now time to change that. The biggest reason why this has happened, I believe, is due to lack of awareness in regards to the ego. It is difficult to change the direction of something if we are not aware of which direction it is going. I trust this article will give you one more perspective and will increase your awareness of the things your ego is doing that, just maybe, you are not fully aware of yet.

How a Top Sales Manager Gets Their Salespeople to Sell More Stuff!

When do you do your best work? When you feel bad or when you feel good? The obvious answer is when you feel good. No one feels like doing much of anything when they feel bad. When people don't feel so good, they end up doing very little....not a good situation for you. So it begs the question: does the salesperson brimming with confidence sell more than the salesperson who lacks confidence? The answer may seem obvious, but why do so few average sales managers spend the majority of their time building their people's confidence up instead of ripping it down? It could be that many sales managers are former sales salespeople themselves and "seagull sales management" (swoop in, dump on the rep, then fly away), is all they know. In this case, unfortunately, ignorance begets more ignorance...
