Success in 2008? It’s Achievable – And Here Is How You Can Do It!
How do you define success? Are you successful when you achieve your goals you set out in life? Or do you feel successful even when you haven’t achieved them all, but are working towards them and feel good in life? The truth is, for each one of us we have a different definition of success. There are even people out there who believe that they are never truly 100% successful in life – that it is a constant procession towards success that makes them who they are.

Are You Exploiting Your Strengths?
“Play to your strengths.” How many times have you heard that one? How many times have you heard it, and within one day had to do something you knew was not a strength of yours, because you felt you had no choice?

Are You Angry and Resentful? Try Acceptance First, then (Maybe) Forgiveness
If we find ourselves angry and resentful, it’s important to acknowledge that our anger hurts only ourselves, and we’ve inadvertently given other people the power to make us angry and resentful.

Instant Communication, Information, and Gratification
We correspond frequently, but we’re often rushed, preoccupied, and unable to give our full attention. If you feel overwhelmed and distracted in today’s world, take comfort.

Is Attitude Everything?
We’ve heard time and again that attitude is everything.
In a world that’s becoming less black-and-white every day, one seemingly littered with contradictions, can it be true that there’s one simple answer to the question of how to improve our lives?
I think not! There’s more to life than attitude.

What Everybody Should Know About Time Management and Getting Things Done
If you’ve tried recently, or even not so recently, to “get organized” and “manage your time,” you’ve probably noticed that it just isn’t that easy. You feel like you’re getting more done, and done faster, but you’re not feeling any better. You’re just working harder and faster, without seeing any real change in your life, at least not any positive change.
I suggest that what you need is not just to come up with a way to organize your life and time, but a way to slow down.
What? Isn’t this all about getting more done, and getting it done faster?

Experts? Authorities? Why Am I Listening to these People?
Oftentimes, we buy what the “experts” have to say… literally, we pull out our credit cards, and we buy the magic pill or solution because we really believe it will help. But other times, we stop and ask ourselves, “Why am I listening to this person?

Time Management: Focus and Getting Results
Emphasize focus and results in time management. This is an approach I can really identify with. It’s not about how much you get done in a particular block of time. It’s about getting the results you need from that time.

Completing My Life – One Day at a Time
You see, some time ago, while reflecting on the regrets hat I had accumulated over my forty-some years on this earth, I decided that uppermost in my mind was the fact that I hadn’t always made the time, and put forth the effort, to articulate to people in my life the things I want them to hear and know. This meant that my life, to me, was incomplete.

What’s Your Definition of Success?
When I think of the old paradigm – my old, ill-conceived, self-taught definition of success (that success means money, wealth, status, and power) – I am reminded of an old parable that goes something like this:
Who is the Successful Man?
One day a wealthy father took his son on a trip to the country so that the son could see how the poor lived. They spent a day and a night at the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”

Have YOU Made Your New Year’s Resolutions?
New Year’s Reolutions: many of us make them, and many of us fail to complete them?
Why is this? What can we do to enhance our chances of affecting the change we desire?

I was. That is until I devised my own plan.
Design your very own personal development plan.
