MOTIVATION, THE HEART OF SELF IMPROVEMENT
by Kim and Charles Petty
MOTIVATION, THE HEART OF SELF IMPROVEMENT
Kim and Charles Petty
Pain may sometimes be the reason why people change. Getting flunked grades make us realize that we need to study. Debts remind us of our inability to look for a source of income. Being humiliated gives us the 'push' to speak up and fight for ourselves to save our face from the next embarrassments. It may be a bitter experience, a friend's tragic story, a great movie, or an inspiring book that will help us get up and get just the right amount of motivation we need in order to improve ourselves.
With the countless negativities the world brings about, how do we keep motivated? Try on the tips I prepared from A to Z
A - Achieve your dreams. Avoid negative people, things and places. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
B - Believe in your self, and in what you can do.
C - Consider things on every angle and aspect. Motivation comes from determination. To be able to understand life, you should feel the sun from both sides.
D - Don't give up and don't give in. Thomas Edison failed once, twice, more than thrice before he came up with his invention and perfected the incandescent light bulb. Make motivation as your steering wheel.
E - Enjoy. Work as if you don't need money. Dance as if nobody's watching. Love as if you never cried. Learn as if you'll live forever. Motivation takes place when people are happy.
F - Family and Friends - are life's greatest 'F' treasures. Don't loose sight of them.
G - Give more than what is enough. Where does motivation and self improvement take place at work? At home? At school? When you exert extra effort in doing things.
H - Hang on to your dreams. They may dangle in there for a moment, but these little stars will be your driving force.
I - Ignore those who try to destroy you. Don't let other people to get the best of you. Stay out of toxic people - the kind of friends who hates to hear about your success.
J - Just be yourself. The key to success is to be yourself. And the key to failure is to try to please everyone.
K - keep trying no matter how hard life may seem. When a person is motivated, eventually he sees a harsh life finally clearing out, paving the way to self improvement. L - Learn to love your self. Now isn't that easy?
M - Make things happen. Motivation is when your dreams are put into work clothes.
N - Never lie, cheat or steal. Always play a fair game.
O - Open your eyes. People should learn the horse attitude and horse sense. They see things in 2 ways - how they want things to be, and how they should be.
P - Practice makes perfect. Practice is about motivation. It lets us learn repertoire and ways on how can we recover from our mistakes.
Q - Quitters never win. And winners never quit. So, choose your fate - are you going to be a quitter? Or a winner?
R - Ready yourself. Motivation is also about preparation. We must hear the little voice within us telling us to get started before others will get on their feet and try to push us around. Remember, it wasn't raining when Noah build the ark.
S - Stop procrastinating.
T - Take control of your life. Discipline or self control jives synonymously with motivation. Both are key factors in self improvement.
U - Understand others. If you know very well how to talk, you should also learn how to listen. Yearn to understand first, and to be understood the second.
V - Visualize it. Motivation without vision is like a boat on a dry land.
W - Want it more than anything. Dreaming means believing. And to believe is something that is rooted out from the roots of motivation and self improvement.
X - X Factor is what will make you different from the others. When you are motivated, you tend to put on "extras" on your life like extra time for family, extra help at work, extra care for friends, and so on.
Y - You are unique. No one in this world looks, acts, or talks like you. Value your life and existence, because you're just going to spend it once.
Z - Zero in on your dreams and go for it!

Release Your Inner Winner, Learn To Succeed
by MJG Urquart
Release Your Inner Winner, Learn To Succeed
MJG Urquart
Are you successful yet? Have you reached your full potential? If not do you know why success at work or home is still eluding you? I used to blame all sorts of things for my failures. Bad luck, other people mistakes and any plausible reason I could find. But then I realized that I?d been conditioned to failure for many years.
People generally mean well when they give you bits of wisdom like money is the root of all evil, or a camel has more chance of passing through the eye of a needle that a rich man has of getting to heaven. All these little sayings, and there are hundreds of them, all play a pat in conditioning us to the fact that failure is ok.
You've heard these comments hundreds of times. probably so many times that you hardly notice them but all the time your subconscious mind is storing them away. Do you think a 100 meter sprinter at the start of the Olympics says to himself "If I run too fast I might fall over"? No he doesn't he tells himself positive things. Think positive and re-condition your brain to believe that you can be successful and you will be. How do I know? Easy I've done it. 6 months ago I bought Sean Le Mays Procrastination Blaster and I have gone from someone generally gave up of failed to someone who has become successful. I didn't believe that I suffered from procrastination but I bought the product on a recommendation from a friend and it had a major impact on my life.
The thing I really liked about procrastination blaster is that I just had to put on my headphones and sit back and relax. Yes it's as simple as that. The program is built around scientifically proven methods and activates various types of your brainwaves. Once these brainwaves are active your subconscious can absorb the positive messages that Procrastination Blaster contains. This is very similar to the deep meditation that monks and Yogi's strive for.
We will now have a look at the 4 different types of brain waves and at the various conscious states in which they exist
Beta waves- normal waking consciousness-you are probably in "beta" right now. These are associated with concentrating, arousal, alertness and cognition.
When you are absorbed by a good film, or a great book then it is fair to say that you are in the much slower alpha state. Alpha waves are associated with relaxation, learning and increased concentration.
Theta waves slower than alpha, usually experienced during dreaming sleep associated with increased creativity, some kinds of super learning, increased memory ability and "a ha" experiences.
Delta waves are even lower than theta and you'll experience these during dreamless sleep. These are associated with the release of chemicals that help with anti aging and also access to the subconscious mind.
This all might sound like science fiction but I assure you it's not, why not check out our review of procrastination blaster and see how it can help you to succeed.

I Can't Find Success Anywhere
by Jeff Grundy
I can't find Success anywhere
Jeff Grundy
Have you gotten to the point, where you are almost ready to give up? Are you dozens and dozens of self-help books and cds worthless to you? Can you say over the past 20 years you have tried over 20 different programs to make moeny?
Let's not even bring up mlm and direct mail marketing or the law of attraction. If you are not shaking your head up and down at this point, this article is probably not for you.
I am guessing I have over $35,000 in self-help programs, seminars and get rich programs. I am not going to say schemes, because I truly thought each and every one of them were real opportunities at making me wealthy.
Yet I was almost 50 and my dreams were far away. I always knew I would be wealthy but each and every year I became more and more frustrated. Yet I kept trying, each and every time I figured I had found the opportunity I had been looking for all this time.
The answer came but not in the form of another book or self-help system. Nor was it a guaranteed money making program that would double my income in a week. It was a web site with a collection of speakers on improving your life in all areas.
I don't know why but hearing them all speak over a couple of days made the difference. One or two points from each speaker really hit me. And since I listened to them in rapid succession I was able to remember them.
Quickly like a speeding truck it hit me. All the points I had gathered over the couple days said the same thing. I never stuck it out. I could build the greatest foundations, but then I was on to the next thing before I gave the first one time to succeed.
Once I could feel the problem with all my being things changed. Even though it was not my purpose in life, I just felt great. I was quickly able to make the changes to sticking with one program and focusing all that extra energy on becoming success. Wow what a difference.
So my point is. Listen to many people and pick what is common from all them about what you need to change. And find a program and stick with it. There is probably nothing wrong with the 20 last programs, it is you that has to be fixed.

What's Your Productivity Formula?
by Elliott Roberts
What's Your Productivity Formula?
Elliott Roberts
Staying on task, despite interruptions, is tough to do. Your productivity formula will allow you to handle those pesky interruptions as they arise, while staying on track with your target project. This will result in higher productivity and performance. Here are some self help tips to customize your productivity formula.
You must have a clear plan. Are you daily tasks leading you somewhere, or are they simply getting you by? Take some time to review your long term projects and goals. Your daily task lists should be the product of those bigger projects being broken down. If your daily tasks are not leading you toward your bigger picture, start over. Make every task count.
Once you have your clear plan you need to prioritize those tasks. Some are more important than others and some have definite deadlines. Organize them as such on your list, realizing that just as some must be finished that day, some can easily be forwarded to the next day if need be.
Schedule breaks to recharge. Walk around for a few minutes. Stretch. Play a quick game of spyder. Your body and your brain will feel better and work so much better that you will make up for the lost work time, even exceed it.
Do not work through lunch. It does not make you look more dedicated than everyone and your mind and body will produce less without nutrition. That should be a no brainer, but continually people neglect their bodies for an extra 30 or 60 minutes of work. This is a hard one to break because people expect it of you. Or maybe your boss does not appreciate the importance of fueling and recharging your body. Do it anyway. Everyone will be impressed when they start seeing the resulting increase in productivity.
Track progress and recognize your own achievements, no matter how small. You will be motivated to continue and achieve more success.
Deal with the little interruptions that come along before they turn into problems. The time invested is usually minimal and it saves stress and hours in the end.
Regardless of whom you are or what you are trying to accomplish, you have to do work to get there. That work is called productivity and with a positive attitude and your productivity formula, you will succeed.

How To Harness The Awesome, Unstoppable Power Of Persistence In 4 Easy Steps
How To Harness The Awesome, Unstoppable Power Of Persistence In 4 Easy Steps
By Murray Hughes | Date Submitted: 03/31/05
Keywords: Motivation, goal setting, self-help, success, achievement, successful, persistence, affirmation
More Details about http://www.007workfromhome.com/4stepsto-developing-persistence.php here.
Summary: Learn how to conquer any goal through the awesome power of persistence by incorporating this simple 4-step process into your life.
The Awesome, Unstoppable Power Of Persistence
Never underestimate the power of persistence!
If you persist you really cannot fail.
While you may fail many times along the way, you have not truly failed until you accept failure. However, if you are truly persistent, failure is a clear indication you are getting closer to success.
How can that be?
Because with each failure comes very valuable knowledge. The knowledge of what DOESN'T work, (this is the basic premise of testing).
Acknowledge failure brings you a step closer to success and you will never look at it the same way again.
Do you have a light in your house? Of course you do. Do have a light in your car? Of course you do. Do you see them in the street, in the shops, airports, hospitals, restaurants, etc, etc? Yes, they are everywhere.
Well, the electric light was borne from one man's irresistible persistence to invent what many said was impossible.
It wasn't easy, thousands of times he failed....thousands!! How many people make it past 3 failures? Most give up after only one. Plenty never even try.
But Thomas A. Edison, the creator of the incandescent light, took each of those failures in his stride.
With the knowledge of what DOESN'T work, each failure took him a step closer to changing the entire world!
We only want to get rich. A much, much easier task.
If persistence can change the world, imagine what it can do for you.
Persistence can be developed through 4 simple steps.
Are you ready?
Pay close attention, these are life skills you should embrace deep within your psyche...practice them whenever you want to rise above your present dilemma...teach them to your children.
The 4 Steps to Developing Persistence
Step 1 Have a definite goal fueled by a burning desire to achieve it.
Step 2 Have a definite plan and continually work at it.
Step 3 Close your mind against all negativity. Do not think about or be discouraged by the negative comments that may come from family, friends and acquaintances.
Step 4 Form a friendship with one or more people who will encourage you to follow through with your plan and achieve your goals.
There my friend is the kind of thing we should be taught in schools. How different might your life be if you embraced that as a child.
Personally, I was never taught to persist. Whenever the going got tough I quit.
After years of underachievement, poverty and unhappiness I knew my life philosophy wasn't working. I decided if I ever wanted things to change I needed to change.
So I set about discovering the laws of life known by the very rich and the very happy.
The 4 Steps to Developing Persistence are among the most valuable.
Here's how they can apply to you:
Step 1 Have a definite goal backed by a burning desire to achieve it.
- I'm guessing you want to be rich. If you do commit yourself to achieving that goal you are half way there. Read my '7 Secret Steps To Success' article once you have finished this one. http://007workfromhome.com/harnessing-your-power.php
Step 2 Have a definite plan and continually work at it.
- You must have a plan because without one you are treading water. How many people do you know have goals?
Probably not many, I know because I asked a lot of the people around me what their goals were and most of them just went "...aahhh....dunno".
That's the kind of aimlessness that will see you doing the same unrewarding job for the next 15 years.
Step 3 Close your mind against all negativity. Do not think about or be discouraged by the negative comments that may come from family, friends and acquaintances.
- If you know someone who has a habit of discouraging you, don't tell them what you are doing or what your goals are. Wait until you're having some success and then tell them.
Anything they have to say then will either no longer apply or will be seen for what it is: -- An attempt to stop you from rising above the position in life they would prefer to see you occupy! --
Step 4 Form a friendship with one or more people who will encourage you to follow through with your plan and achieve your goals.
- If you know people of similar mind then that is fantastic, spend time with them, soak up their positivity.
If not, don't worry because you do not necessarily need to form a personal relationship. Encouragement from the great minds and achievers of our time can be found in books, tapes and CD's.
Jim Rohn is very good, others are Anthony Robbins and Napoleon Hill.
Persistence is a necessary ingredient in any achievement. Obviously it must be, because if you didn't persist you would never finish anything.
The degree of your persistence is actually proportional to the size of the achievement.
It has been a defining characteristic of some of the greatest men and women to ever walk our planet.
Persist!
