Courage, do you just see it as a one time action in the face of adversity, that some other person would do?

Thought for the Day http://ping.fm/pSwrA
Everyone is worthy, everyone has more potential than they will ever need, everyone is special and everyone is capable.
The only one that doubts that is yourself when you think you are worthless, hopeless, and useless. You value yourself less than others, but the truth is; you are just as amazing as everyone else, you can do, be and have whatever you want, but you must value yourself first.

Thought for the Day http://ping.fm/uKOHJ
It is as easy to make a good habit in our mind as it is to make a bad one, it takes the same effort to maintain a good habit as it does a bad one, but changing them once we have them that is the challenge. Bad habits stop us from growing, stop us from being happy, but they are our habits, own them, take responsibility for them, make the choice to change them. You have the power to unleash new habits, to get rid of old one, then your life has to go in a different direction.

No matter where we are in our lives without doubt we could have done more, cared more, tried harder, given more,achieved more, earned more, laughed more, joined in more at some time in our lives. Where could we be now if we had? Procrastination is a thief, it steals not only our achievements but also our contentment.

Thought for the Day http://tiny.ly/JvOz It has never been easier to learn, access to information instantly in all shapes and forms is at our fingertips, if you want new things, people, places, or income then improving your skills and knowledge will make it happen. Whatever you want to achieve somebody has written, spoken, sung something on that subject, learn from them, then tell others so they can learn, it is a wonderful perpetual cycle

Develop an appetite for learning, get the skills and knowledge to open new doors,

Thought for the Day with Linda Sage Mentoring We do not act, move, talk, or function without first thinking about it. The thoughts maybe so ingrained that we forget we are thinking about it, but we do think first. "I am hungry" so we eat, "I am cold" then put a coat on, "I am sad" then we cry. Mastering our thoughts, then we are master of our lives, think the things you want, then the action will have to follow.

Our body is the instrument of our mind

97% of the population are struggling with something, finances, weight, health or relationships.

Thought of the Day http://tiny.ly/JvOz With all the communications that we have in the 21st Century why are so many people struggling in their lives? Because we don´t set direction, or know "why" we want something, or very often even "what" we want, we are still stuck in the "How". When you know "why" you really want something, you find the how, get to grips with the why and magic happens.

Everyday “ordinary” people do amazing things by conquering your limitations,

Thought of the Day http://tiny.ly/JvOz Challenges are part of everyday for everyone, but if you only look at the challenge then you cannot see past them. Keeping your focus on the end result then the challenges along the way just look like small rocks in the road, not huge boulders that block your path.

Keep your focus on the end result

Thought of the Day http://tiny.ly/JvOz Whether you are in business or not it does not matter, presenting yourself with pride, confidence, energy and openess will open many doors to opportunities that others just sit amd dream of.

Be thankful for what you have, until you have what you want

http://tiny.ly/JvOz We all assume that we have a tomorrow and that we often plan for things months, even years ahead, but when we put things off, or let them slip because we are scared or make excuses why we can´t do them now, then we may just be losing the opportunity we really want. If you want something, change something or have a goal to achieve then today, now, this moment is the time and place to start working on it. Imagination, vision and action will make tomorrow different from today.

Time and tide wait for no man, or woman

http://tiny.ly/JvOz Many people want a "presence" to turn heads when emtering a room, or walking down the street. To keep a group of people on the edge of their chairs whist talking is all down to that special something.... presence. You cannot have presence without confidence, building your own confidence and believing in yourself, provides you with your own personal presence.

Your personal presence is the outward show of inner confidence

http://tiny.ly/JvOz When you are looking to change something in your life then, knowing what it is gives you a good place to start. Most people know when something is not right, but push it to the back of their mind, or sweep it under the carpet, but it does not go away it sits there until you have a Spring clean and clear it out properly. Then change can start to happen.

Honesty with yourself is a good place to start

The weight of resentment holds you down, forgiveness removes the weight and sets you free

http://tiny.ly/JvOz Knowledge will flow into an open mind from all directions, no matter what your age, gender, colour or creed. Being an open door to learning is almost like the fountain of eternal youth, each day, each hour, each minute, each thought is new and exciting. You have direction, power and purpose.

keeping an open mind to learning is like an open door for knowledge

http://tiny.ly/JvOz Words are magical, they have strength, power, guidance and wisdom. Have you ever explained anything to somebody and they said "yes, I can see that now" , "It is clear now", words act like like the switch when turning a light on or clearing the mists in their minds. Never underestimate the benefit of words.

Words are God like, words make a difference they cause the light of sight and the light of insight

http://tiny.ly/YHPx We often think that working at our job is the road to success, more income, more standing; but we never find success in our job until we add value to ourselves by increasing our knowledge and building our value. Then success will find us.

http://tiny.ly/YHPx We all do it, talking to ourselves blaming, shaming and beating ourselves up. We keep saying how stupid we are, how clumsy, what an idiot!! then the even better bit; we answer ourselves "you know what you are like", "what do you expect, I do that all the time", "I did not mean to, I just did not see it"
Sometimes I hate to think how many times we put ourselves down in a day. Then multiply it by 7 days a week, then by weeks in a month and months in a year, how many years have we done it!!! No wonder we know how bad we are. We would never have treated a friend like that, so why do we think it is ok to inflict it on ourselves?
Time to stop and praise, encourage and support ourselves, it will feel strange at first, but it gets easier......go on try it, you´re well worth it.

http://tiny.ly/YHPx Each day do you do everything you can to make your life better, at home, work and play or do you cause yourself ongoing problems with negative thoughts, low self esteem and slef doubt.

http://tiny.ly/YHPx Our mind is our most powerful tool, no matter what we think; that is what we will be doing, that is how we will be living and with the people we want to be with.

If you see yourself as successful, happy, slim, wealthy, healthy, if you build your thoughts into beliefs, then your actions will follow.

Train your thoughts to what you want, then you will find a way to get it.

http://tiny.ly/YHPx We hear a lot about affirmations in the self development world and even if we do not fully understand them, breaking the word down affirm, to give something or someone power in our mind, we endorse that thought whether good or bad, I am stupid, my boss hates me, I am hopeless. Action is the second part we keep doing it over and over again until he get the thought into our minds as a solid belief, then the action follows. I need three cigarettes or five cups of coffee before I can do anything.

Not true as not everybody in the world does that, but when you believe it to be true you will feel terrible every morning, you will wake up expecting to feel bad, because that is who you are. Change your thoughts, to undo your beliefs and your actions will change.
Just think how great you will feel in the morning.

http://tiny.ly/YHPx There is no universal or legal law that says one personal has the right to any certain thing or person, nowhere is it written in concrete that what you have now and who you are at this moment is the person you have to be.

Choosing to change, taking the action to change, seeing the change in your imagination, means that your future will definitely be different to your present. Everything you want, you are capable of being and having.

http://tiny.ly/YHPx Making excuses to yourself and others is the most limiting action we can do, 1 more biscuit does not matter, I will work on that tomorrow, I will make that phone call later, we stop ourselves from growing, experiencing many things but most of all excuses put a limit on our potential. How much could we achieve if we had not made all those excuses?

http://tiny.ly/YHPx Without a doubt all the hundreds and thousands of people that I have met over the years on any self development plan the words self confidence have caused the most trauma and pain. In personal sessions, groups, seminars and even large public meetings tears have been shed, the emotions of low self esteem are physically and psychologically painful.

People go to great lengths not to look in a mirror, or even have mirrors in their homes. They get very adapt at looking just at their hair (which never looks right), standing naked in front of a full length mirror and really looking at yourself is one of the hardest things to do with low self esteem as we will never like what we see.

Changing our thoughts about ourselves, makes us feel better about ourselves and lets us see ourselves in a better way. Self acceptance is the open door to high self esteem, high self esteem gives you self confidence. Self confidence give you a whole new view of life and that is self development. Learning to love yourself and living in your own skin, then whatever you want to achieve is just so easy.

One of your personal keys to success is self confidence, love yourself, look in the mirror and like who you see, be your own best friend.

You are unique, there is not a single person in the world the same as you, that is what others like and love about you, go celebrate just being you

It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.
Live with passion!

http://tiny.ly/CHJV Life and business are like the changing seasons. The real challenge of life is to learn how to handle the winter and take advantage of the spring. Winter always comes, but so does the spring. Night follows day, but also day follows night. Yes, the tide goes out, but it always comes back in. Opportunity follows difficulty as surely as difficulty follows opportunity.


The seasons like time come and go, the trends come and go on the global market just as the fashions and hairstyles do. No matter what is going on in your life and business it is going to be passing to, make the most of the Spring with fresh new ideas, nurture them well through the blaze of the Summer, reap all the benefits or your work in the Autumn, stock up your store cupboard for the winter.

It does not just mean on food but on love, memories, business, finances, all areas of life. But one thing is for sure, that the more times you go through these cycles of light and dark the more you become aware of them and prepare for them

http://tiny.ly/YHPx Really look around you, see all the things you have, all the people and be grateful, personal growth comes from gratitude and love not from anger or hate. Look forward, think forward and move forward.


People are always looking at what they don´t have or what they don´t want," I hate my job"," I don´t want to be stuck in traffic", this is a very negative way of looking at things and negative thoughts make you angry and feel frustrated, nothing can grow in that environment. For personal growth just like any growing thing, it needs warmth and support. You may not be where you want to be right at this moment, nor may you have all you want, but focusing on that stops you moving forward. Be grateful for what you have, while you work on what you want, that way life can open up for you and you can attain all your desire.

Look forward, think forward and move forward.

http://tiny.ly/YHPx How often do we wish we were different, or that life was different? Maybe we feel too old or too young to makes changes. It is not the right time in our lives to do this or that, because we lose focus on our own power and ability to change.

Sometimes, no! in fact a lot of the time it is easier to stay where we are emotionally, physically and even financially even though we know it is not where we want to be, rather than face change.

We have the power, we have the ability and we have the choice, so why settle for anything less than what we really want and who we really want to be?

http://tiny.ly/YHPx Very often we see our goals as dreams or so far in the distance they seem impossible to reach, each day takes us one step closer as long as we know what we want and make a determined effort to take each step along the road to reach them. Just like following The Yellow Brick Road.

Persistence

"Persistence"
The road to positive change isn’t always easy. Let’s talk about ways to strengthen your will to change, ways that go far beyond New Year’s resolutions – especially the ones you made three weeks ago, and have already abandoned.

You have decided to change something about your life. Maybe you have decided to lose 20 pounds or run two miles every day or stop smoking. You have made your decision and begun the new behavior, by writing your change down gives it permanence, once the ink has dried on the paper it is there for eternity, or until you rip it up or burn it. As you read it and start to see yourself in your new life, the vision will become stronger. These are called affirmations, you are affirming it in words and mental pictures the new you. Do this several times a day, it takes seconds to do, if you keep them by your bed then just before you go off to sleep or as soon as you wake, starts and ends the day on a positive note. As your internal picture of yourself as a slimmer, fitter non smoker YOU, things will start to change, GREAT.

BUT, there is always a but; sooner or later, you probably going to be tempted to slip back into old ways, especially when you are feeling tired, lonely or sad. It is then that you need to have a plan ready that will help keep you on track.

We live in a throw away society, we are used to instant gratification, fast food, cars, hundreds of TV programmes, internet, shops open 7 days a week, so learning that we do not need to be satisfied immediately, we just want to, is a big step forward. One thing you can do is be ready with a list of alternative activities in which you can engage until the temptation passes – call somebody for a chat, make sure they are someone to give you words of encouragement and not encourage you to give in, a walk around a city or along the beach, maybe a trip to the cinema or bowling. One magic tip is to clean your teeth, when your teeth are clean and fresh it gives you something else to concentrate on, so you forget about your nagging demand.

If you get through the temptation successfully, give yourself a tangible reward for hanging in there. Call it a willpower reward. It should be something you will get genuine pleasure from – a gizmo or gadget you have been wanting, a new CD or DVD for your collection, a perfume you have been wanting to try, a new pair of shoes. Or it can be an activity – a massage, facial, round of golf, or a couple of hours with a good novel.

If you don’t do so well and slip up, forgive yourself. Grant yourself the right to be human, and get right back on track. We are not talking perfection here; we are talking about fulfilled potential!
