Chris Widener There are lots of things in this life that we don’t get to choose. On the other hand, there are lots of thing in this life that we do get to choose. Our attitude is one of the things that we get to choose. Nobody else lives inside our brain. Nobody else controls what or how we think. It is up to us, moment by moment, to choose what our attitude is. It is up to us to determine how we will look at and perceive the world around us.

Letting Go

By Hale Dwoskin One of the main ways that we create disappointments, unhappiness, and misjudgments is by holding on to limiting thoughts and feelings. It is not that "holding on," in and of itself, is inappropriate. Holding on is perfectly appropriate in many situations. I wouldn't suggest, for instance, that you not hold on to the steering wheel of a car that you were driving, or not hold on to a ladder that you were climbing. Obviously, the results of such choices could be unfortunate. But … [Read more...]

Release the Shackles of Mediocrity

By Lisa Jimenez Imagine a BIG production company came to you with a huge budget and a line-up of the biggest names in Hollywood to make a movie of your life. Tell me. Would anyone want to go see it?

Respect For Others

Tony Alessandra, Ph.D. When I was in high school back in 1960's, everyone always divided themselves into self-contained, often exclusive, groups. These groups followed all the old clichés -- you had your greasers, your jocks, your nerds, your college prep kids, and your vocational kids -- and everyone was always careful to stay within their own group. Although I was technically in the athletic group (or jocks) and the college prep group, I always tried to go out of my way to get along with … [Read more...]

Personal Philosophy is Like the Set of the Sail

Jim Rohn In the process of living, the winds of circumstances blow on us all in an unending flow that touches each of our lives.We have all experienced the blowing winds of disappointment, despair and heartbreak.

Have we not all been blown by the winds of circumstances and buffeted by the … [Read more...]

Bad Luck, Bad Choices, and Bad Habits

By Chris Widener We were at some friend’s house the other day and the wife mentioned some other acquaintances of ours. “It sure is too bad, all the bad luck they have,” She said. My first thought was, “Bad habits, not bad luck.” My second thought was, “Or is it bad choices?” You see, there is a difference. What we many times call bad luck is merely bad choices. Let me explain: If you work hard, buy a new car, keep it up with regular maintenance and blow a tire … [Read more...]

Life Would Be Easy If It Weren’t for DIFFICULT People

Guest post by Connie Podesta Go on, it's okay. Admit it! We all know that life would be a whole lot easier if we didn't have to deal with those few (or many) difficult people we just can't seem to avoid. I think you know who I'm talking about. What's not okay is to give up something you need, want or deserve because of their rude, obnoxious, sullen, and apathetic habits. Yes, I do mean "habits". If you're tired of playing their game, take charge of your life by taking a good look at … [Read more...]

Personal Development – The Plan By Jim Rohn

As we all know, our results are only as good as our plan. Mr. Shoaff taught me that it's not what happens that determines the major part of our future, because what happens, happens to us all. Instead, he taught me that the key is what we do about it. If we start the process of change by developing a plan, doing something different in this next year than we did the previous year, it won't matter how small those efforts start. Start doing different things with the same set of circumstances - … [Read more...]
