You will after you read and use this article. http://www.article-buzz.com/Article/The-Path-to-True-Inner-Peace–True-Happiness-and-True-Success–The-Popular-Paths-Won-t-Get-You-There/360621 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.article-buzz.com/Article/The-Path-to-True-Inner-Peace–True-Happiness-and-True-Success–The-Popular-Paths-Won-t-Get-You-There/360621 It is said that love is the most beautiful bond on earth. If you find the person meant for you, it is true you can be happy forever. Love causes pain and it is something that you have to bear. But what if our relationship starts to give more discomfort than pleasure? Then the obvious solution is to break up. It is not wrong to break up with some one because the situations demand it. But it is a major step in any relationship as both the parties involved are affected in some way or the other. Therefore if you decide to take up this decision, you need to think twice before it. http://www.article-buzz.com/Article/Different-Ways-of-Ending-a-Relationship-Well/318310 Tue, 24 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.article-buzz.com/Article/Different-Ways-of-Ending-a-Relationship-Well/318310 Contrary to what we think, it is not logic which drives most of our behaviours but rather, it is our emotions. We humans are creatures of emotions. Even a Study Grandmaster like me is no exception. In this teaching, I would like to share a powerful insight that I have used to help thousands of students to understand themselves, break their habits and addictions, get motivated to study and reconcile relationship issues. http://www.article-buzz.com/Article/The-6-Driving-Emotions-in-Our-Lives/307557 Thu, 05 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.article-buzz.com/Article/The-6-Driving-Emotions-in-Our-Lives/307557 Todays society would like us to believe that our situation or anything else that keeps us from achieving our wants or desires is someone elses fault. Of course, deep down we know this is utterly false. Responsibility is the high road; to not take responsibility means we can blame everyone but ourselves for our current circumstances http://www.article-buzz.com/Article/Who-s-Taking-Responsibility-for-Your-Life-/306988 Wed, 04 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.article-buzz.com/Article/Who-s-Taking-Responsibility-for-Your-Life-/306988 Most people react to fear before it happens because they make an assumption of what might happen if I expose myself to or take this step. We have a saboteur in our brain which keeps us on the straight and narrow because it knows where you are is secure, safe and we can protect ourselves from this illusionary fear which we see in front of us. There really is no fear. http://www.article-buzz.com/Article/False-Evidence-Appearing-Real–The-Definition-of-Fear/303920 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.article-buzz.com/Article/False-Evidence-Appearing-Real–The-Definition-of-Fear/303920 As a publisher of assessments, I am always looking for the next trend or tool we can offer our clients. Not long ago, I was completing an online health assessment that claimed — based on your lifestyle, health practices, and background — to predict your life expectancy. Well, that piqued my curiosity. I was not surprised to see many of the common factors we all acknowledge, such as smoking, lack of exercise, and eating platefuls of my favorite Hungarian Salami — but I never guessed what was next. More beneficial than sufficient sleep and moderate exercise was this: the companionship of close friends. This item alone would significantly increase my life expectancy. Im not talking about a month or two; the difference was calculated at several years, depending on my level of active friendships. http://www.article-buzz.com/Article/Can-Friendships-Extend-Your-Life-/293078 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.article-buzz.com/Article/Can-Friendships-Extend-Your-Life-/293078 This is the first part of a five-part series exploring the ideas and suggestions for achieving happiness in The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt, positive psychologist.

The New Rules of Employment (Cathryn Harper)

For centuries, people gained names that described what they did for work: Baker, Butcher, Mason, Carpenter. They likely chose a career, stuck with it their entire lives, and worked until they couldn’t.

A generation ago, fathers; and grandfathers, for that matter; went to work for a company and likely remained with the firm for life. Jumping around looked bad on a resume. My own father worked for the same company for thirty years, as a dedicated engineer. Unfortunately, coinciding with his retirement, his company was sold to a large conglomerate, and his retirement pay reduced from comfortable to pennies on the dollar.

Today, kids have learned the lesson: take care of yourself, because no one else is going to do it for you. And that is the new norm. Old schoolers and baby boomers may have trouble with the concept of moving around from job to job, but after getting burned a time or two, getting laid off from a company that benefited from your best years, that view could change.

Company loyalty went out the window with the bailout and financial failures of 2008. People lost their way, along with their jobs and their homes. So, if resumes and references remain dusty relics of ancient job searches, and loyalty to a company is no longer rewarded, what are the new rules? Just ask any successful entrepreneur, you make your own.

So how can you proactively manage your own career in the new job market?

Expand your Knowledge Base – don’t become complacent about your current skillset. Keep looking for training in and outside of your area of expertise, much of which is available online. There are many certifications out there in all career fields, getting one can open many doors.

Always Take the Call – you never know where your next opportunity will come from. I never say no to hearing from a recruiter, past colleague, or past client. There is no obligation to pursue the opening but you may find your next big gig unexpectedly.

Self-Promote – with today’s technology there are so many new ways to easily get your name out there. Post your resume to job sites, create your own web site or Facebook page. Join networking sites like LinkedIn and continue to network even when you’re happily employed.

Know when it’s time to go – sometimes people just can’t move beyond their current position in the same company. Some people get stuck because of where they started, scarcity of new openings, or because they are critically needed in their current role. You need to recognize that in order to get that promotion or higher pay raise you may need to start fresh someplace else.

Take the Entrepreneurial Plunge – many people are forced to reinvent themselves because of lay-offs, and find themselves being successful at something they enjoy doing. If you would like to be your own boss, look for opportunities where you can start a business or career part time on the side, so that you minimize the risk of having to be profitable on day one .

What Stops You?

Your rating: None

Limiting beliefs is a powerful thing that can affect you being successful in your business. You can, however, experience greater FREEDOM as you begin to explore your beliefs and experience true transformation.

Look at the following list and without over-thinking or over-analyzing the statements just notice which ones have the most charge as you read down the list. You may find that there are many that might apply depending on what you are doing, who you are with and your general mood at a particular time. Circle the ones you are most apt to believe or think about much of the time. Be honest with yourself…no one else has to see this but you…

* I’m too old/too young * I’m not smart enough * I’m not attractive enough * I’m too fat/too thin * I am very smart but don’t want to brag or be a know it all * I don’t know the right people-if I did things would be better * If I speak up and tell the truth people will not like me * My family does not support me * I can’t make more than my parents did * I’m not educated enough * I’m afraid of trying and failing * I am afraid of success and how things will change * You have to have money to make money * I’m not a sales person * Building the business is hard * There is not enough time to do everything I need to * I have to work long hours to get everything done * I’m doing it all alone because I can’t afford to hire help * I can’t make enough money because of the economy * I’ve already tried everything * When you get older you put on a few pounds-it’s natural * Your health just gets worse as you age * It’s expensive to eat well * It_________(bad health, diabetes, obesity, etc) just runs in my family * I have done everything to loose weight-I guess I’m just meant to be this way * I do not have enough willpower to stick to a healthy diet * You loose your flexibility and stamina as you age * Things just don’t seem to work out for me * Some people have all the luck * I am not lucky * I should be happy with what I have * It’s selfish of me to want more * I’m too shy * I’m too loud * There are others that are more deserving than me * If I shine too bright others will not like me * I can’t make more money than my partner * Men are supposed to be the providers * You have to work hard to get ahead * All the good ones are taken * Relationships don’t last-look at the statistics * I’m too independent to be in a relationship * Men (or women) can’t be trusted * I’m better off alone because I don’t want to have to compromise * I’m better off alone because_________(fill in your answer) * My other relationships didn’t work so why bother now? * Rich people aren’t happy * Rich people are just out for themselves and can’t be trusted * Money isn’t everything * It’s better to give than receive * Money corrupts people * Add your own ___________________________________________

Bring to mind an area of life that you’d most like to transform right now…It could be your time and money freedom/finances, your relationships, your health or your current career. This will be an area where you have had challenges or struggles and feel unfulfilled.

Now go through the list again and star the self-limiting beliefs that resonate more strongly with the area you want to transform.

These culprits may be wreaking havoc on your ability to move forward.

First a short, simplified explanation about why you may be stopped right now and why you may create similar scenarios to stop you in the future.

All limiting beliefs were formed as an ego defense from your past experiences and subconscious programming. Your ego’s primary role is to keep you exactly where you currently are. Any growth or change is perceived as a threat to your survival and the ego will react, sometimes strongly in order to control your decision making process. It can be very seductive and sound logical because it is couched in words that appear to be concerned about you. This is where the ego can be very tricky and fool us! It may say for example, “You don’t want to start that business now; the economy is shaky and remember what happened to Uncle Charlie last year. Just wait until things improve and then you can quit your job.”

Yet all the while you have a desire, to start the business and it has not left you alone. Therefore, if you feel a deep desire for starting a business you’d love, that desire is coming from your higher self. It will not let you alone because it’s for your fuller, freer expansion, expression and growth.

The ego recognizes this desire as a threat, and immediately gives you many reasons why you shouldn’t take action now. Because the ego is strong, we believe these excuses, and stay in the comfort zone (CZ). However there is never any growth in the CZ. We stay at a job, in a relationship or don’t do what we know on some level would give us different results.

What is the Truth? Your higher self does not speak to you through fear, ever.

So let’s do an exercise that will help you discern the Truth about your limited beliefs that you starred. All you will need is a quiet place where you will not be disturbed for about 30 minutes, your starred list and extra paper and something to write with.

First get in the present by taking a few deep, cleansing breaths and begin to relax. You may want to close your eyes for a few moments and just notice your breathing, inhaling and exhaling to a count of four as you relax more.

Now imagine that you are talking to a trusted friend, partner, colleague or someone you greatly admire and one who is wise, doesn’t judge you and is there to support you 100%.(they can be alive or deceased) You are talking to them and telling them about your desires and why you can’t have them and you have read them all of your limiting beliefs. They are just listening with an open heart and mind. They believe in you and you know that. Once you have this loving, wise, non-judgmental person in mind, you can open your eyes and orient to your paper where you have starred your limiting beliefs.

On a blank paper now write down the first response that your loving, wise, non-judgmental person gives you as you tell them about your concerns.

Now read your starred limiting beliefs again and read your trusted friend’s response. This wise person will have said something supportive and encouraging to you. They would not have agreed with your limited or fearful perception of yourself. They might have said, “I see you- you have many gifts. You are wiser and more capable than you know.”

The purpose here is to begin to see the Truth of who you are and how capable you are. You CAN create and have anything you TRULY DESIRE. You can access your loving, wise person anytime you need guidance. Remember that the TRUTH does not speak to you through fear. Are you ready to take more risks and show up bigger and bolder in your life?

Letting go of perceived bad habits

By Larry Crane, Release Technique

Average:

Your rating: None

Letting go of perceived bad habits is the result of making better decisions. By understanding ‘how and why’ we act in the ways that we do is deciding to get bigger than our fear. In deciding to overcome the habit of protecting ourselves with fear empowers us to be free of perceived bad habits. How much longer are you willing to remain overweight? How much longer are you going to tolerate that smoking or swearing habit? Notice no one can make these decisions for you. If you are choosing to assign your happiness to others, to things, you are choosing to let others/things decide what you can have. How much longer are you willing to let your life run on automatic? How many more years are you going to watch come and go and still find yourself stuck in unhappiness?

** Now is the time to positively DECIDE that you would like to be FREE of your bad habits.

In order to be free of a perceived bad habit, we have to consciously choose to corner our fear and resistance in relation to the habit. We have to be willing to dig up the AGFLAP, uncover the aversions, and be willing to take responsibility for everything related to these habits. Lester Levenson has said, “That the things we put in our mouth are far less offensive than the thoughts we hold in mind in relation to things (i.e. food, cigarettes, alcohol, etc.).

** By moving into higher energy and learning to hold in mind what we wish to have or experience (positive only) allows us to begin to let go of negative habits easily and effortless.

Whatever the perceived negative habit is, hold in mind what you wish to have or achieve that feels good and right for you. Avoid unrealistic goals such as: losing excessive weight in a week, or giving up cigarettes in one or two days if you have indulged in this habit for many years. Realistically these types of habits were sustained over a period of time, so you may choose to break the goal into smaller increments. You may decide to have a target goal of weighing 5-pounds less on or before a specific date or perhaps decide to cut back on smoking. Once the mini-goal is achieved, do continue working on the next level of the goal by continuing to let go of excuses and limitations. A good way to begin eliminiating the smoking or overeating habit (if that is something you would like to achieve), is to simply observe if you are in enjoyment of yourself while smoking or overeating.

** Whatever your goal, habit, or fear may appear to be, please hold in mind that you can easily eliminate any perceived bad habit simply by focusing on the positive benefits of being free of the unwanted habit or situation.

Habits are only a perception. Habits are there as a reminder to us indicating there is a pocket of negativity that requires our attention. Each time we focus on being more positive, we become happier and lighter. So choosing to let go of any unwanted or perceived bad habit requires that we intentionally make the decision to be done holding onto limiting habits and beliefs that sustain our acting as we have done for quite some time. It is also deciding to let go of feeling stuck, burdened or annoyed.

Regardless if you have been dealing with an unwanted habit or perception for a week, a year, or a decade or more, take a moment and look at what do you really want to leave behind. Negative habits affect our health and our ability to be calm and peaceful. Negative habits also affect our relationship with our self and with others. Look at what isn’t working in your life. See if there are financial or health opportunities that could be obtained by letting go of unwanted aggravation or unwanted habits. Be willing to look at your attachments and aversions and do make better decisions related to these matters. Believe by positively changing your viewpoint about a habit or situation will help you move forward and gain clarity on how to proceed.

Lester Levenson and Larry Crane teach us that “Freedom” includes no attachment and no aversion. We are all FREE to DECIDE to have or not have any experience or object of materiality that we wish to have… We are all equally FREE to do or not do anything that we wish… and we are also FREE to let go of aspects of our lives that aren’t making us happy. Remember there are no limitations other than what we are holding in mind. When we let go of limitations, we gain mastery over the perceived negative habit(s). Believe you can achieve your goals. Be willing to be successful, feel safe, experience positive relationships and resolutions to areas of your life that may need fine-tuning. Most importantly enjoy having an even happier life! Host a victory for FREEDOM!

Leaders Are Single-minded

Average:

Your rating: None

What does it mean to be single-minded? How does single-mindedness look? Single-mindedness is the relentless pursuit of a goal, objective or end state. To become single-minded, the leader must make a decision to focus on only one thing, to the exclusion of everything else – one idea, one project, one goal, one end state. Everything else is secondary to the pursuit of this goal or objective.

Why is single-mindedness important? Life throws so many distractions at you; some good and some bad. These distractions either help you stay on track or push you off track. Being single-minded helps you to stay on track and on task. Infamous bank robber, Willie Sutton stated that, “Success in any endeavor requires single-minded attention to detail and total concentration.” A leader must be totally focused on where he wants to go and he must do everything in his power to get there. How does a leader keep himself and his people on track?

The leader must stay focused on the goal or end state. He must not allow his people to veer off into secondary activities that drain energy, waste valuable time, and produce no tangible results. These distractions do not move you any closer to fulfilling your mission, goal, or end state. A leader ensures that extraneous activities do not get his people sidetracked and off-task. A leader communicates his single-mindedness, by what he does, what he says and with the questions that he asks.

The key to being single-minded is to stay relentlessly focused on your goals and objectives until you know exactly what it is you want to accomplish. An additional benefit of this focused attention is that you gain a deeper understanding of how to accomplish your end state as well.

When you concentrate on any specific topic, your attention causes that topic to expand and grow in your mind. As the topic expands in your mind, you are prompted to dig deeper. The deeper you dig, the more you will be exposed to additional insights, ideas, and knowledge that relate directly to your goals and objectives. The more you are exposed…the more you want to know and understand. As you learn more, you start to make connections and build upon the knowledge that you already possess. Eventually, you will have the makings of a plan or concept that supports the undertaking of your goal or objective.

How does single-mindedness help you?

o Single-mindedness helps you and your people stay focused on the task at hand;

o Single-mindedness inspires increased productivity by capitalizing on small wins early in the process;

o Single-mindedness removes distractions from your environment;

o Single-mindedness provides its on self-reinforcing motivation based upon the results you achieve;

o Single-mindedness allows you to accomplish more in less time.

Behaviour: Do We Teach People How To Treat Us?

Average:

Your rating: None

How we respond to others and how others respond to us can appear to be random and without reason at times. And at others times, it can be patently obvious as to why we have behaved as we have towards another or why they behaved as they have towards us.

But whether one is aware of their behaviour or not, one is still playing a large part in how others are treating them. The same is true of another person and in how one treats them.

Even though one has a certain amount control and influence over how others treat them, it doesn’t mean that this control and influence is always utilised. In some cases, one may be completely unaware of this and come to conclude that they are just observing what is taking place. One could then end up feeling like a victim of circumstance.

Relationships

Now, some areas of one’s life will be more important than others when it comes to how they teach others to treat them. Ones partner or lover, colleagues, family and friends are all going to be vital areas here.

If one has a lot of interactions in these relationships where they are not being treated in a way that honours who they are, then how they have behaved in the past and continue to behave is likely to be a key factor.

Normal

What can make it difficult to notice that one is having an effect on how others treat them is if this behaviour feels normal. And this could be due to them having put up with this kind of behaviour since the very beginning of their life.

So one may not think about the role they are playing in all of this as there experience of others has always been the same. It could then be seen as how life is and as a reflection of who one is.

Examples

If one is treated by others in a way that is empowering or respectful, it won’t be a problem. But if one is treated by others in a way that is disrespectful and disempowering then problems will arise.

Perhaps one is has become accustomed to: being taken advantage of, controlled, compromised, abused, humiliated and continually let down by others for instance.

While one may believe that this is out of their control, if they look close enough they will see that there are patterns to how people treat them. With there being nothing random or unexpected about how others treat them. One may expect to be treated in these ways.

Different Stages

As one looks back on how each interaction started and the ones that followed, there will be certain clues. And these could subtle or they could be painfully obvious. And how one responded to how the other person behaved during these interactions will often define how they will behave in future interactions.

This could relate to one tolerating certain behaviours that didn’t feel right and even though this was the case, they didn’t speak up or let the other person know.

Acceptable

And when one doesn’t inform the other person that how they are behaving in not acceptable, either verbally or nonverbally, then the other person is going to assume that is it acceptable. They don’t even have to be someone who is malicious; all they are doing is responding to the signals that are being given.

This is not to say that everything another person does is pure in intention, as some people do try to take advantage of others. And this is when one needs to respond in the right way; so that another person comes to realise that their behaviour is not acceptable.

Comfortable

At a deeper level, the reason one puts up with certain behaviour that doesn’t honour who they are is because it will feel comfortable. And so it is often more about ones inner resistance to standing up for themselves than it is about what the other person is or is not doing.

The ego mind creates associations of familiarity around things that one has experienced a lot. And these become what are classed as safe. So going against what feels comfortable can feel like death to the mind.

Questioning

What one feels comfortable with and what they don’t will have to be questioned. As it won’t be healthy to feel comfortable putting up with behaviour that is disrespectful and invalidates who one is.

Here, it might be beneficial to take a closer look at the relationships in one’s life that are dysfunctional and to what the defining moments were. Or the small things that were allowed to accumulate and get out of hand.

Self Image

The perception one has of themselves will often define what they will and won’t put up with. And so as ones idea of themselves changes, the type of behaviour they will or won’t put up with will change

This may involve letting go of certain things that no longer reflect who one is. As this happens, one will be less likely to be attracted to or attract people who are disrespectful into their life. And this can be done through the assistance of a therapist, healer or some kind of coach. Or some kind of self inquiry can assist one in this process.

Leaders Are Readers

Average:

Your rating: None

Leaders have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge; they have to know; they have to learn; they have to get as much information as possible. Leaders seek to learn from the experiences of other people to include those captured in the form of biographies, autobiographies, organizational histories, and life stories. Leaders want to know how other leaders have fared in their leadership journey; how they thought; what they did; what they learned…they want to constructively use other leaders’ life experience as a model to live by…a model to learn from. The key is to look for insights that can be used to enhance your leadership ability in the present.

There are 1000s of books that capture the life lessons and experiences of successful men and women throughout history. This rich treasure trove of golden nuggets is literally right at your fingertips and the only thing it costs you, is your time. You have to take the time to pick up a book, read it, and digest the lessons within. You can’t stop there though; your quest for knowledge and insight is not over when you finish reading the book. Now, you need to figure out how to apply the lessons from the book to your life and work.

Leaders are faced with new situations on a daily basis; reading prepares a leaders mind to accept new ideas and new ways of thinking. Leaders read with a specific end state in mind, they are seeking to learn something to help them become better leaders. A leader is looking for ideas to help him get better at the craft of leadership and reading is a great way to do just that. Leaders are looking for knowledge and information that will help them make an impact…make a difference…and make needed changes.

Reading books, magazines, and newspaper articles also helps with:

• Staying abreast of current events; • Learning a new skill; • Gaining greater knowledge of a specific topic or subject area; • Searching for lessons from other leaders experience; • Learning about specific people, time periods, or events; • Gathering material for a research project or paper; • Delving deeper into topics of interest.

When a leader wants to know something, a resource on his chosen topic is as close as the nearest library or these days, Amazon.com or Barnes & Nobles on the internet. He can pick up a resource that gives him access to all of the world’s greatest minds and accumulated knowledge. A leader can learn anything he wants to by finding the right book to read. The right book can literally change your life.

A famous quote states that, “a mind once expanded with new possibilities cannot go back to its original state.” One of the best ways to expand your mind and to elevate your thinking is to read a great book. A book offers you the opportunity to read a passage, to think about it and to chew it over in your mind until you grasp the essence of the information within. You can reread a book as many times as necessary for you to grasp the information presented. You can learn to do just about anything by reading a good book.

Reading good books opens a leader’s eye to other possibilities, new vistas, and new ways of looking at old problems. Reading provides new insights, ideas, thoughts, viewpoints, and concepts to be applied to a leaders endeavors. Reading a good book can serve as the ultimate idea generator or a way to ease your mind while other ideas are percolating.

Tips for becoming a leader who reads:

1. Identify a topic that you want to learn more about;

2. Go online or visit your local library to find a book that covers the topic you are interested in;

3. Read the book once for overview purposes; read the book twice to better understand the ideas presented; read the book a third time to understand how you can apply the ideas to your situation or problem;

4. Read a variety of books – read history, business, fiction, politics, science – in other words read books outside of what you would normally be expected to read;

5. Take note of key ideas while you read; ideas that strike you as the most pertinent to your circumstances – don’t think that you will come back and write it down later; do it now – this way you capture the lessons and will be able to use them in the future.
