90% Of People Have No Goals
Wow, an astonishing 90% of the population has no ideas or plans for what they want out of life! Without a solid life plan to take a hold of, these “drifters” will not have direction or the peace of mind to maximize their lives.

Are You Insane
Albert Einstein once defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. Yet, many of you have done this time and time again. You unfortunately bring your past knowledge and beliefs into every situation. Here are strategies to get you to break the habit of insanity.
Concentration Is The Cure For Tough Times…Part One
Every time you do not concentrate, you fall behind on what you planned to do and the result is, you lose a lot. That precious time is gone forever. Every day, you have 1,440 minutes at your disposal. That’s the same amount of time that successful people like, a Bill Gates or a Nelson Mandela, have every day. You may find reasons for not getting things done, but most excuses are poor substitutes for ACTION. Most things in life are possible.

You Can Put Lipstick On A Pig, But It's Still A Pig

Concentration Is The Cure For Tough Times…Part Two
You may or may not have a genius IQ. In fact, you are probably like the 70% of the population who are in the 85 to 115 IQ range. It does not matter. The man or woman that is chosen to take charge is not usually a genius. She does not possess any more talent than the others, but she has learned that results can only be produced by untiring, concentrated effort.

How To Get Rid Of Your Big BUT
On your quest for success, communication is critical. Without high-quality communication with the people that you relate to on a daily basis, whether they are at your place of business or your social circle, you can not be successful. Those who communicate best are the ones that are the most successful. Poor communication affects the way others perceive, understand and react to you. When you are a person who uses the “BUT” in your conversations everyday, it acts just like a double-edged sword in that it can make you appear to others in one of these two ways.

I Triple Dog Dare Ya…
If you never step out of your comfort zone, how on earth will you ever know what you could have possibly achieved in your life? How will you ever learn anything from your triumphs as well as your mistakes? How will you grow as a person and live your life to the fullest?

If I Only…Avoid The Third Word In My “Axis Of Evil”
The ability to concentrate on what you hear and say when you communicate is critical. Without quality interpersonal communication with the people that you relate to on a daily basis, whether in a professional or personal environment, you can not attract a wealth of positive things into your life. The word “IF”, when used in your everyday communications with yourself and others, will always inject negative thinking into your life. And, even more so, it holds you back!

If You Cant Stand The Heat
“If you can’t stand the heat, then find a way to get used to, and beat it!” Here’s my straightforward 5-step plan as to how to take control of your life and prepare your self to “beat the heat”.
Sometimes You Want To Quit
When faced negative circumstances, many people simply give up. They let the disappointment and discouragement from the experience(s) take over and resign them to failure. Instead of looking ahead, they wallow in an endless sea of negative thought and negative emotions. Here's how to overcome your "bad times".
Stressful Times Need A Stress-Busting Remedy
Stress can and does negatively affect your health – both mentally and physically. Studies have demonstrated that stress leads to emotional issues, such as a lack of concentration and substance abuse, relationship issues, needless arguments and domestic violence. Studies are showing that stress also causes unwanted weight gain. With obesity approaching epidemic numbers in many countries, who needs the extra pounds. Plus, there’s the physical symptoms such as high-blood pressure, back pain and sleep disorders!

What Is Your Destiny?
The majority of people are controlled by, and operate in certain ways because of the power of habit. They seldom think of concentrating on why they have certain habits, or study themselves to see if they could make improvements in their lives. The good news is that you can literally re-program yourself for greater success in any area of life. By building your Power of Concentration, you can increase your awareness and focus on developing good habits.
The Difference Between Those That Do And Those That…
Your personality is the result of years or shaping and molding from the time you were born until the present. Some of you may have what is referred to as a “strong” personality. Some may have what is referred to as a “difficult” personality. Many more of you may have what is referred to as a “weak” personality. Learn how to develop a strong, indomitable spirit and accomplish more in life, happiness and more.
Wait A Moment? No BE In The Moment
It seems no matter who I talk to lately, they are either living “dangerously” in the past or wishing and hoping for “something” tomorrow. While it is always a sound strategy to have a well thought out and documented plan for the future, you must invest time in the moment before you can ever move ahead in your life.

What Is All This Talk About Change
However, most people do not like change. In fact, one could say that the only people that like change are babies and the people who work in toll booths or the cashiers at the convenience store! In fact King Whitney, Jr. remarked, “Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind...
What Is Inside Of You? Peace and Happiness? Or Stress and Turmoil?
Yesterday, I saw Jack LaLanne on a television program. Yes, the 94-year old fitness expert and inspiration to millions and millions of people is still going strong. In the closing remarks for the interview, Jack left his audience with the following thought. “You are responsible for everything you do - both on the outside and also inside of you.”

Are You An "Al Bundy"?
As much as Al was a likeable character. He was flawed. He lived his life firmly in the past. After all, his defining moment was long ago in his youth. But, how about you?

Guerrilla Marketing And Karate
The karate master learns everything necessary to slam his hand through the wooden boards. He doesn’t even think about the boards, only about seeing his hand on the other side of them. Their being shattered is not part of his vision. The board is merely an illusion. His hand beneath the cracked boards is the only reality the karate master will accept. Theory is what helped him earn his black belt, but he never would have earned it if he had not taken action.

Karate for the Head Or Heart?
Many years ago, when I was teaching karate, I could usually tell how well my students would perform from their motivation to learn in the first place. Often it was just a passing fancy, an ego trip, or a belt. But for others it was a burning desire. Once, a university professor approached me and told me he wanted to become a black belt in karate. In fact, he confided, it had been his goal for over fifteen years. Now, for the first time, he inquired what it would take to make his goal a reality. I told him that to achieve this distinguished rank in karate, he would need to dedicate at least one hour a day for four years. He was visibly disappointed. After a moment, he said, "I had no idea it would take that kind of effort." He walked away and never again pursued karate.
Core Desires Ignite the Conquering Force
Core Desires are the ignition mechanism for the Conquering Force. This is what a Core Desire can do in your life- ignite the Conquering Force within you. I've taught hundreds of karate students, most of whom indicated they wanted to be black belts, but few of them ever achieved that distinction. Not because they didn't have the ability but because it wasn't a Core Desire. The sooner you identify your Core Desires, the sooner your Conquering Force kicks in. Then, and only then, will you truly have what it takes to achieve at high levels, which is where the greatest joy and happiness can be found.
