Acts of Kindness Benefit Everyone
Jan 21st
Do you really want to be happy? Everyone I ask always says yes, but the gateway to happiness makes some of us frown. The gateway to happiness, is giving to others.
“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.” – The Dalai Lama
Some of us may feel that, if we give too much our generosity will be taken advantage of by others, however people who seek to take advantage are in the minority. To quote Gandhi, “We must be the change we wish to see in the world.” Think about it, change has to start somewhere, so why not start with you and me, right now?
You can donate anything randomly, without seeking reward, and anonymously, without telling anyone. This is good for you, the universe, and those who receive your acts of kindness. Every time you give, you will receive even, if you are not looking for a reward.
Try it, and you will see what some call karma… the law of cause and effect. It works like this: For every action there is a reaction. Lets make sure the reactions to our actions are good ones.
Danny Thomas said, “All of us are born for a reason, but all of us don’t discover why. Success in life has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It’s what you do for others.”
Share everything and you will achieve a legacy of kindness. Share nothing and people will, do their best, to forget you. When my life is over I will only leave memories in the minds of others, and I want them all to be good ones.
So, how much should you give? It can start with sincere, kind words, a note, a card, or a flower. You will find that your gifts or donations won’t make you poor. As a result of this, you will see most people, naturally, return kindness to you.
You should also take the time to be polite to all of the people who perform services for you, every day. Many people do not bother to say hello to the maid, janitor, parking attendant, or service clerk.
Once you do you may even learn their name, and you would be surprised how many of them will go out of their way to give you good service, just by addressing them by their first name.
If you establish sincerity and trust where ever you go, you will be loved by your fellow man. It is really that simple. As Mohammed said, “A person’s true wealth is the good he or she does in the world.”
How To Attract Everything You Desire Effortlessly!
Jan 9th
Wanna Be Simply Irresistible?
1. Create an environment that naturally pulls you forward so things like commitment and discipline are optional. Being pulled forward is attractive, pushing forward is not.
2. Over respond to every event. By over RESPONDING instead of over ACTING, you evolve into something that is very attractive.
3. Build reserves in every area of your life. Having enough is not nearly enough for you to be Irresistibly Attractive. Stop running your life on adrenaline.
4. Add value just for the joy of it. When you add value just because you enjoy it, people are naturally attracted to you.
5. Market your talents shamelessly. If you are embarrassed about what you do you’ll never be very attractive.
6. Become irresistibly attractive to yourself. How can you attract others if you dont feel irresistibly attractive to yourself?
7. Begin to live a fulfilling life, not just an impressive lifestyle. A great lifestyle is attractive, and attractive lifestyles can be seductive.
8. Deliver twice what you promise.When you consistently deliver more than was expected, new customers are drawn to you.
9. Unhook yourself from the future. Attraction works in the present, not in the future.
10. Eliminate delay. Time is expensive and delays are very unattractive.
11. Get your personal needs met, once and for all. If you have unmet needs, you will attract others in the same position. Needs are not optional.
12. Tolerate nothing. When you put up with something, it costs you, and costs are expensive and very unattractive.
13. Show others how to please you. Dont make them guess.
14. Endorse your worst weakness and shadow. When you accept and honor the worst part of yourself you are free and more accepting of others.
15. Sensitize yourself. The more you feel, the more you will notice and respond to the many subtle opportunities in the present.
16. Perfect your environment. Create an environment that brings out your brilliance versus one that drains you.
17. See how perfect the present really is especially when it is clearly not.
18. Orient exclusively around your values. When you spend your days doing what fulfills you, you are a magnet for attraction.
19. Simplify everything. Abandon the non essentials and leave room for you to attract.
20. Master your craft. Being the best at what you do is the easiest way to become successful.
21. Recognize and tell the truth. The truth is the most attractive thing of all, and it requires skill and awareness.
22. Be more human. When you are genuine, you are attractive.
Questions to ask yourself:
* What five opportunities are you leaving on the table?
* How might you sabotage our professional relationship?
* How have you been motivated in the past to reach difficult goals or make difficult decisions? How can we best utilize that motivation now?
* How would you do this differently if you were willing to let it be easy?
* What would happen if you showed up ten times more bolder this week in every aspect of your life?
* What are the 10 things you are tolerating or putting up with that are preventing you from performing at your best?
Go make it a great week, and thanks for all you do!

Breaking the Bad Habits Of Failure
Dec 21st
I wanted to put this out today because I realized that in order to begin to have success one has to recognize the “Bad Habits of Failure”, and then begin to replace those habits with “The Habits of Success”.
People living today are extremely lucky. There’s more information available today than ever on Success, yet with all this information available to us, people still fail to become successful in life. Why is this? After all, there is so much self help information available telling us how to be successful, yet most people still fail to achieve success. Also, why do people still suffer from depression, when there are so many books telling them how to live a great life?
The fact is, information is not the problem, and no matter how much technology advances, people will always have the same problems.
What Are The Reasons People Fail To Achieve Success?
If you ask someone why they never succeeded in what they were trying to do, they will most likely tell you it was someone elses fault, or something happened that was beyond their control. However if you compare that persons life against someone elses life, you could probably find many examples of people who suffered under far worse conditions yet still became a success.
This shows us that the real reason people fail is not because of something outside of them, rather the reason lies within themselves.
Internal Reasons For Failure
When you continue to do the same thing over and over again it is called a habit. You are probably familiar with bad habits such as smoking, but are you familiar with the habits of failure or the habits of success?
Creating Habits Of Success
Since success or failure is ultimately achieved through the actions you take, habits therefore play a tremendous role in determining whether you will achieve success or failure in life. For example. If you read everyday, that is a habit. This habit is likely to expand your knowledge of a subject, and vastly improve the chances you will master and be successful at it.
However, lets say that instead of reading everyday, you prefer to sit down and watch TV for a few hours. Do you think this will help you master any subject? Or become an expert in your field? In all likelihood, the answer will be no.
So if you look at achieving success or failure in terms of the actions you repeat on a daily basis, then it is quite simple to understand why some people succeed, and others complain of failure. People who are successful continually do things on a daily basis that will increase their chances of success. Whilst unsuccessful people do not.
This does not mean successful people never fail, they do. But what they dont do is give up, because they have developed habits of success.
Change Your Habits!
The message you should take away from this article is that in order to experience change in your life you must first identify your habits. Think about what do you do on a daily basis, and ask yourself if those things help you achieve what you want in life?
If the answer is no, you must then change those habits, because by doing the same thing over and over again you will only get the same results over and over again.
