What Every Employee Should Know About How to Maximize His Potential for Success
There are countless books that describe success principles. Here are a few principles that I have summarized for you: * Believe in yourself, your abilities, and in your God-given yet unused talents. * Have a dream. Write it down as a goal using specific guidelines and setting a realistic deadline by which you will accomplish it. * Speak in the positive. State everything you say as the glass being half full and come up with your unique plan to fill it. * Develop your action plan. Use it as a map to help you reach the destination of your dream. * Use Affirmations. They will help to build your belief in yourself. If you have difficulty finding books with them, create your own. * Take action NOW! Be persistent! Do something each day to move you closer to the realization of your dream and your goal. * Associate with successful people. From this collection of experts, select a mentor to guide you along. * Share yourself with others. Volunteer your time and your talents. Join civic and charitable organizations. * Develop a sense of humor. Learn to laugh at life; don't take it too seriously. Begin by laughing at yourself and your mistakes. * Exercise your creativity. Use your God-given imagination to see problems from a different point of view. They probably won't seem so big, after all. * Exercise your body. Exercise keeps the body tone, healthy, and vitalized. Not only will you be keeping yourself healthy, but you will be shedding the extra pounds without realizing it. * Balance your life. Take comparable amounts of time for fun and relaxation as you do for work and home. * Change the things you cannot accept. Accept the things you cannot change. Be a doer, not a complainer. Remember: When you maximize your potential, everyone wins. When you don't, we all lose. © Etienne A.

Gain Confidence By Avoiding The Trap Past Experiences Can Give You In Life One of the biggest potential problems we face with every action we take are our past experiences. In fact, as humans the only reference we have whenever we take some kind of action are our past experiences. There is nothing else we can go by for an indication of expected results. Positive Attitude is Not Enough Contrary to the popular saying "attitude is everything" attittude is not enough. You can have the right attitude and all the motivation in the world and still wind up playing "dead atheist." Thoughts are Things You've probably heard this idea at one time or another. You've probably nodded your head in agreement understanding that thoughts are in fact, things. You probably believe this and accept that your thoughts, being things, do in fact have power. How to Get Rid of Stinking Thinking Q: I seem to beat myself before I ever get started. I catch myself trying to talk myself out of doing anything because of all the obstacles I see. And then I end up regretting not doing anything and get more and more frustrated. A friend of mine pointed this pattern out to me, but neither one of us knows what to do about it. What should I do? Release Your Agression In Your DIARY OF EMOTIONS In order for you to make positive ground daily you need an avenue of escapism that allows you to shed the emotional baggage that we all carry around with us.

Dear Friends, Mindfulness: Youre Soaking In It! Looking for a bit more mindfulness in your daily life? Relax. You're soaking in it! The Enchanted Self - Thats Each of Us! In my years as a psychologist, I have come to believe that most people seeking psychotherapy are unhappy. This is not only due to earlier hurts and traumas, as well as present frustrations and problems, but because they cannot access earlier happy moments often enough. The unfortunate result is not being able to experience enough positive states of well-being. It is these unique states of well being that I have come to label THE ENCHANTED SELF. Condition or Definition? In talking with a coaching client recently, she made a statement about a negative habit followed by these words: "that's just who I am." I challenged her to re-examine what she had said. In fact, the truth was, she had a habit, but it was no more "who she is" than to say that the package your food comes in is the food. It is the package. It may represent the food or cover the food, but it isn't the food. And therein lies a key distinction. I challenge you this week to examine whether you have given power (identity) to something that is actually a condition rather than a definition of who you are.

All Your Problems Are Based In False Beliefs! All the problems that any individual has in their lives can be found to have roots in what are called "false beliefs". These can be false beliefs about themselves, about other beliefs, about emotions they may harbor or entertain, about others, and about their reality. Such beliefs form and get stored in one's consciousness throughout the course of one's life. They often are never questioned and thereby are used to supposedly help that individual move through their life. Garbage Words In - Garbage Thinking Out "At birth, a baby's brain contains 100 billion neurons, roughly as many nerve cells as there are stars in the Milky Way," according to an article Time magazine. Shifting Your Paradigm What is a paradigm? In my own words, a paradigm is a belief system. It can be a personal belief system, or one held by a mass number of people, or even the whole world. Such a belief system is so entrenched in our minds as truth that it usually does not occur to us to question it. Therefore, many of us never even think that maybe this thought pattern needs updating. But, inevitably there are those that go against the common thought, and begin to challenge long held beliefs. More and more people begin to awaken, each individual begins to change their personal belief system, and the phenomenon that occurs as this old belief system comes tumbling down is often referred to as a paradigm shift. A Solution For Trouble? Try This Breath Of Fresh Air! I just heard the story of a man who hired a plumber to restore an old farmhouse.
