  Wondering how to get what you want? The difference between those who win and those who don't is that those who win will do what it takes to win, and the rest refuse to do the same. Let's face it: the only thing stopping you from getting what you want is you.   You say you want something – you want it so bad you can taste it…you daydream about it, you plan, you talk, you read, you write about it.   Yet when the opportunity presents itself, you fail to seize it.   You let yourself stand in the way of you and your goal—your golden opportunity.   Time and time again, you trip and stumble over yourself. You have to stop letting your inhibitions rob you of the things you want.   You may have to sacrifice your rules and your standards: they could be your worst enemies in terms of getting to where and what you want most in life.   If you want it bad enough, you have to seize it when the opportunity arises. But will it be worth it in the end? T...

Why is it so hard for many of us to put ourselves first? Maybe we were taught or somehow believe the "good" woman sacrifices herself for her family, her friends, her work and her community. We are often raised to be the burden bearer, the worrier and the warrior. With this mindset, many of us grow up resentful and hating ourselves for taking on such a "martyrdom" mentality. While the intention behind it wasn't necessarily a bad one or came from the wrong place, it often leads women down a slippery slope since women are more likely than men to be the primary caretakers of their husbands, children and, later, aging parents. The idea was to prepare or give us ample opportunity to practice the imminent role of service and self-sacrifice. A  judicious and noble ideal. However, "If you always put someone else first, there's a tendency for others to depreciate you, to lose respect [for you], because respect [comes] from an understanding that a person has her o...

What are goals:  Goals are a set of predetermined thoughts or ideas set about in one’s mind to be attained by a set period in time.  Something that is hoped to achieved with certain expectations and deadlines. In order to obtain balance in your life you must set goals. NO ORDER NO GOALS, NO GOALS NO GLORY, NO GLORY NO BALANCE.  Goal gives direction to your life and helps you live by purpose and not per chance.  To set goals, first ask yourself these 4 simple questions: What ?  What is it I want to accomplish? Why ? Why do I want this...you must have the right motives or it could backfire. When ?  Set a deadline...a time frame you think is reasonable...you don’t want to set yourself up for failure. How ?  How am I going to do this? Know your resources, brainstorm and research are the keys.  E.g.  I am going to save $500 by the end of this year so that I can go on my dream vacation.  I will save most of my allowances, or I...

Happiness like money is a highly controversial concept that means many things to different people.  And for some of us, it is even harder to define and narrow down those concepts.  It is something we all need, or more of, again just like money.  It would probably be safe to say that happiness and money goes hand in hand—kind of like two peas in a pod—you can’t really have one without the  other.  Some people say money makes you happy and some people say it doesn’t.  But when you don’t have it, you sure as hell won’t be happy. Unless; of course, you are a monk, living in the deserts of Tahiti.   Did you know that one of the biggest cause of divorces and relationship breakups in North America is money or the lack there of? So let’s define Happiness,

Remind yourself daily that you are not perfect. Nobody is. We all make mistakes. We all have flaws. We all have strengths and weaknesses. We all have good days and bad days. Don’t let anybody break you down. Be Strong! Follow these steps. Learn to budget: ·          Pay your bills on time or before the due date, if possible ·          Buy only what you can afford. ·          Pay a little extra on debts when you can to reduce them faster and increase your credit rating. ·          Do not frequent the malls ·          Shop with a list and stick to it as much as possible ·          Use coupons when possible - it is not about being poor or cheap, it is about smart saving. ·          Avoid taking s...

Introduction Interpersonal relations are an integral part of our lives. How we interact with others can significantly impact our well-being and the world around us. The Bible, a timeless source of wisdom and guidance, provides valuable insights on how we should conduct ourselves in our relationships with others. In this blog post, we will explore what the Bible says about interpersonal relations, focusing on essential principles and passages that offer guidance on love, forgiveness, humility, and more. The Great Commandment In Matthew 22:37-39 , Jesus emphasizes the importance of love in our interpersonal relations: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbour as yourself.'" The Great Commandment underscores the significance of love in our interactions, reminding us to treat others as we would want to be treated.  Conjecturing, Cri...

A while ago I came across this post, I found it so inspiring that this is the second time I am sharing it with my readers. Wednesday, 27 October 2010 10:58 AM EDT Shirley Arnold At times giving up may seem reasonable. But the nature of faith is seeing and doing the impossible. Everyone at one time or another has wanted to give up! Even Jesus wanted to give up when He faced the cross. Knowing His footsteps would soon lead Him to agony and shame, He asked the Father "'O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me'" (Matt. 26:39, NKJV). In essence, He was saying, If there is another way to accomplish Your will, Father, could we go with plan B? Jesus was faced with the choice of giving up or pressing on. It is the same choice we have all faced when circumstances have brought us to a place of giving up. We know that if we give up, we will be relieved of the pressure of the moment. And if we press on, we will continue to face all the obstacles that broug...
