Probably the best know one is, ‘If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.’ What all of them say is that you can expect to encounter problems when try anything new. Successful people don’t let obstacles or disappointments get in their way. Let’s look at an example of perseverance : the career of Milton... Read more »

Hammering Iron In A Magnetic Field

Although using affirmations works wonderfully for many people, there are some who have not seen the results they would like. Most of us in this field have met at least one person who has repeated a good affirmation thousands of times over many months, sometimes years, without any appreciable results. If you′ve ever had this experience, you know how frustrating it can be. I had the same problem myself, and if it had not been for a unique discovery, I would have given up and forgotten all about the power of belief.

Self Education is the Key to Making Our Dreams Come True

“Formal education will make you a living but self education will make you a fortune.” This was said by Jim Rohn, one of the top 50 motivational speakers in personal development and one of the trainers at the top online personal development site, Success University. Formal education is never easy. When I was at school I wasn’t really that bothered about whether I got an A in Maths or History. I was too worried about whether people liked me or not, where I could get the latest Rod Stewart photos or whether my skirt was the trendiest length. Yet, education seems to happen despite the student. We come out with our varied grades and reports of “Could do better” (in my case), but somehow we get some sort of an education. Unfortunately, going... Read more »

If I look at my life, and maybe you will see some similarities with yours, when I have felt the need for money it always seemed that enough issues arose to need even more i.e the more I focused on needing it, the more I needed it! What tends to happen then is that you try cut corners, spend less, for example, you may choose a cheaper... Read more »
