What Is Success Sculpting

012 – How To Be Confident – 7 Steps To Building Confidence

Success Sculptor — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:47:24 +0000

How to be confident consistently to move your life forward is a critical skill to have. And yes, confidence is a skill, not some inborn predestined personality trait.

Confidence is a skill you can build.

Everyday, all of us are on the front lines of life fighting for progress. Of course how we define progress varies from person to person, company to company and even country to country.

Progress can be defined as peace, prosperity, position, power or people united for a common cause.

However you define progress, wherever the battle lines have been drawn, there is one sure-fire conquering force that can help you to carry the highest probability of victory and that force is called: CONFIDENCE!

The need of confidence is not the mystery. The mystery seems to be in how do you build and sustain an unwavering confidence that does not allow you to concede defeat even in the face of multiple failures.

A confidence that has you to know that success is imminent even while standing on the ledge of failure.

In today’s Episode of The Success Sculpting Show, we will go beyond the common “act confident” advice that is regurgitated the world over and roll up our sleeves and get behind the curtain of real “showtime” type confidence.

We will take the mask off the fake confidence and look at how to build a confidence so big and powerful that it can rival the pyramids of Egypt.

So, if you’re ready to finally learn how to be confident, then follow the 7 steps of building confidence in today’s Episode. Also, not put into today’s Show Notes are the “The 5 Ways To Strengthen Your Confidence Daily”. You must listen to the Show to get those insights.

So let’s get to, click “play” on the button above and start listening and learning how to be confident now.

He are some of the highlights from this Episode.

The #1 Confidence Question That No One Hardly Ask Is

Where is my confidence vulnerable?
- Is it interdependent on circumstances and places and how things are going?
- Is it co-dependent on acknowledgment from other people?
- Is it independent of being hostage to people, places and things?

7 Steps To Building Commanding Confidence

1. Mental Self-Defense – Defend your mind (What weighs you down?)

Addictions
Anger
Hopelessness
Resentment
Self-Pity
Confusion
Doubt

2. No Huddle Offense – Rapidly take action to move your life forward (What lifts you up?)

Caring (Who do you care about?)
Humor (What makes you laugh?)
Purpose (What drives you?)
Generosity (Who do you like to give to?)
Detachment (What makes you feel free?)

3. Past-Tense Tension – Let the past be the past (What blocks you from your past?)

Complaining (Disagreeing with what was that has created what is.)
Blaming (Yourself, your past, your parents, your partner, who?)
Controlling (Trying to control the uncontrollable, like your past or other people from your past)
Arguing (With your past or with people that should remain in your past)
Externalizing (Feeling like a victim of past and present circumstances.)

4. Manage The Suspense – Manage your moods and emotional fears and uncertainty (Digg a trench in your purpose and a beachhead on your mission)

I’m doing this because I want;
- To inspire people to…
- To create new ways of…
- To understand…
- To help implement…
- To do the most good to/for…
- To discover new…
- To solve problems for…
- To unravel life’s mysteries around…

5. Know The Expense – What does lack of confidence cost you today? (What will it cost you going forward?)

Abundance & Prosperity
Purpose
Authenticity
Growth
Excellence
Leadership
Health

6. Have A Future Sense – Lean into your future not into your past (What themes are pulling you forward?(

Adventure
Spiritual Growth
Travel
- One of mine used to be “Treasure Hunter” I was constantly looking for the treasure in myself and others and no automatically their would be great challenges in that journey going forward.

7. Condense The Course – Reduce your big picture dreams and goals into short term doable daily action steps

What can be done now?
What is to be done next?
Next actions?
Next items?
Use checklist, daily planning and project management methods
Do mini projects
Take micro steps to make progress and build momentum
Celebrate every completed action and step taken to encourage yourself.

011 – How To Be Happy – Being Happy When All Hell Is Breaking Loose

Success Sculptor — Fri, 23 Nov 2012 16:48:04 +0000

So you want to know how to be happy?

Well, being happy is not just a choice, it’s a strategy.

Most people have decided that they want to be happy, however many people don’t have a strategy for being happy in the face of overwhelming opportunities to be unhappy.

In today’s episode of The Success Sculpting Show you’re not only going to learn how to be happy, you’re going to get a specific battle-tested strategy for being happy even when all hell is breaking loose around you and the number of reasons to be unhappy far outweigh the reasons to be happy.

So let’s get to it, click the play button above to start listening to this latest podcast Episode..

Here are the Show Notes for this Episode.

From Sandbox to Sadbox

As kids we would have fun playing in the sandbox creating little cool sculptures with our friends.
As adults, we’ve migrated from the sandbox into what I call the sadbox.
There we use the fragile pieces of our past to build monuments to our mistakes and castles to our past carelessness that keeps us held down in unhappiness.

The Co-Dependency of Happiness

Sometimes are happiness is not based on how we feel about what we’ve done, but based on how other people feel about what we’ve done.
So the knobs that can turn up or turn down our happiness are under someone else’s control.
Thus, we are not the cause of our own happiness, we are the effect of happiness because we wait for others to gives us the approval to be happy with their stamp of approval, acceptance and appreciation.
Just think about the extent of unhappiness one can have if it was based on other people’s appreciation of what we’ve done or acknowledgement of what we’ve done.

The Unhappy Bugger Strategy

Attack:
- “You know, you should really be unhappy about…”
5 Step Counter-Attack
- 1. “I am unhappy about…” (Acknowledge it!)
- 2. “But what I am happy about is…” (Counter it!)
- 3. “What I’m also happy about is…” (Stack it!)
- 4. “What excites me about that is…” (Crush it!)
- 5. “Just imagine…” (Elevate it!)

Listen to this Episode to hear how I have used this 5-Step Counter-Attack strategy with weight loss and public speaking.

Create a DIStance Between You and Discouragement To Close The Gap On Happiness

*Break Down The Discouragement

1. Discard the personal discord (self-hatred, self-rejection, self-condemnation) to create harmony
2. Discharge and release the feelings of guilt, shame and pity
3. Discover and dismantle unforgiveness, bitterness, blame and witchcraft
4. Discontinue all victim-hood.

*Build Up The Encouragement

1. Discover your joys (focus is the fuel, experience calm in chaos and harmony in havoc)
2. Discuss what makes you happy (conversation choice, complaining is a choice)
3. Disclose your love to others (saying “I love you” allows you to feel and experience the love yourself)
4. Be a disciple of of gratitude, not a victim of ingratitude

010 – How To Know Thyself – Lessons In Self-Awareness And How It Impacts Your Success

Success Sculptor — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 12:24:44 +0000

Today’s Episode of The Success Sculpting Show is about How To Know Thyself.

The purpose to know thyself is to understand that being made as a uniquely powerful handcrafted stone by God is far more powerful knowledge to live by than to allow the lying crafty hands of another man or women to mold you into a mere brick.

There is a life breakthrough waiting for you in today’s episode, so let’s get started.

Here are the highlights and Show Notes from today’s episode.

Cancel, Don’t Counsel

We need to stop trying to counsel relationships that need to be cancelled relationships.

The greatest desperation is to discover who we are;

When we don’t know ourselves, we create substitutes.
We substitute a life of substance for a life of substance abuse.
We prostitute our true identities for the coins of social acceptance.
We are addicted more to what others think than to what God thinks.

The substitutions, prostitutions and addictions leaves one hollow;

So we don’t have self-esteem, we have shell-esteem
There’s no self-confidence, just shell-confidence
And our self-image is replaced with a shell-image
This is because what’s left of ourself is just the shell of ourselves, of who we really are.
Hard on the outside, hollow on the inside.
At the same time, we are fragile and easily fracture and fragmented when something or someone says or does anything to malign the fake self we are aware of and try to protect.

We live in a world where most people are driven by two things

Impress someone else (Acts of idolatry to want their approval as if they are our God)
Stress the thoughts and opinions of someone else (Acts of slavery to allow the words of others to snare our souls)

Ego Over The Soul

Instead of being driven by a soul seeking peace and expression, most are controlled by an ego seeking power and position.

People Feel Power and Position Is Important Because

It impresses those we idolize.
It lifts us up to become the next idol to be idolized (worshiped) by others

When You Know Yourself

When you know yourself, you can encourage yourself instead of discourage yourself.
When you know yourself, you can support yourself instead of sabotage yourself.
When you know yourself, you can trust yourself.
Trusting yourself is a prerequisite to taking action
Taking action is a prerequisite to success in anything and everything

3 Primary Prerequisites of Success

Psychological/Emotional (mind)
Eternal (spirit)
Physiological (body)

Dual Positions

Interconnected (Spirit, Soul and Body)
Co-Dependent ”Think it (mind), Do it (body) Endure it (Spirit)“

The “Know Thyself” Prerequisites Of Success & The Attacks

Trusting Yourself & Peace of Mind (Attacked by fear and anxiety)
Self Image/Identify &, Worth (Attacked by rejection and low-self esteem)
Decisiveness (Attacked by confusion, doubt and uncertainty)

The Warfare to be Self Aware

People want to define you and confine you (Molding who you are)
People want to control you (Directing who you are)
People want to censor you (Smothering who you are)

Know Your “Perceived” Limitations (Blocks) (Complete these sentence stubs)

“I don’t ….”

“I can’t ….”
“I reject ….”

What To Know To Know Thyself:

Know Your Strengths
Know Your Weaknesses
Know Your Gifts
Know Your Skills
Know Your Opportunities
Know Your Threats & Opposition
Know Your Likes
Know Your Dislikes
Know Your Vision
Know “What” You Think
Know “How” You Think
Know “Who” Taught You How & What To Think
Know What Challenges You
Know Your Challenges
Know What Sabotages You
Know Your Anxieties

Your stability is not found by standing in the hands of another man, or women. Your safety and security is not found by seeking soul acceptance and social approval from those around you. Your stability, safety and security can only be found by seeking the spirit of truth and the God who created both spirit and represents truth.

009 – Free Your Mind – How To Overcome Mental Strongholds, Thought Prisons and Mind Traps

Success Sculptor — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 12:37:42 +0000

Today’s episode on Free Your Mind could be the tipping point that gives you the insights that you can run with to overcome mental strongholds, breakout of negative thought prisons and finally sidestep the mind traps that snare you into a life of struggle and defeat.

I know that’s a mouthful and perhaps a tall order.

However, I believe we can deliver on that because what I’ll be sharing with you in this Episode created a grow inflection point for me.

What I mean is, that once I fully grasp what I’ll be sharing with you today, I was able to build a mind like a steel trap and be darn near emotionally bulletproof.

By being “emotionally bulletproof” I don’t mean not feeling, what I mean is not allowing negative and sabotaging feelings to sidetrack and derail you.

So let’s get started.

Here are the some of the key notes and points from this Episode.

The Conception to Crisis Navigation

1. What’s “natural” is the power of our minds (God’s contribution to us)

2. Our “nature” is coded and sculptured by those around us in infancy (Our guardians contribution to us)

3. What we “nurture” is decided by us as well minded adults. (Our contribution to ourselves)

The greatest deception of who you think you are is preventing you from experiencing the greater discovery of who you really are.

Chances are, you are “Affected & Afflicted” by The Whispering Words Of Witchcraft

1. Witchcraft is about control via spells

2. Verbal spells can consist of negative labels that people place on you or that you place on yourself

How You Become Spellbound

1. A negative verbal spell is spoken over you repeatedly by someone. (This is “casting the spell”)

2. It then becomes your own internal incantation. (This is you capturing and carrying the spell.)

Wekipedia: An incantation is a charm or spell created using words. An incantation may take place during a ritual, either a hymn or prayer, and may invoke or praise a deity. In magic, occultism, and witchcraft it is used with the intention of casting a spell on an object or a person.

To Affirm is Not to Incant

1. An “Affirmation” is like hearing about how good a meal taste. (Disengaged senses)

2. While an “Incantation” is more like actually eating the meal. (Fully Engaged senses)

Many people are living their lives spellbound under the spells and controlling witchcraft of other people

*Spellbound means to be entranced by or as if by a spell; fascinated.

To be fascinated is

1. to attract and hold attentively by a unique power, personal charm, unusual nature, or some other special quality; enthrall:
2. to arouse the interest or curiosity of; allure.
3. to transfix or deprive of the power of resistance, as through terror: The sight of the snake fascinated the rabbit.

The 3 Phases of The “Broken Halo” Effect

1. The Invasion: There’s a crack in your halo that breaks inside you and leads you into bondage (This is generally from the lies you are told about yourself, your past, your future, your possibilities)

2. The Infiltration: Where the words take root and create internal beachheads and strongholds. (This is when we validate what has been said)

3. The Institution: The stronghold then strangles your true identity (This is when our life is now filtered through the lens of those lies)

5 First Physical Acts Of Going From Spellbound, To Spellbreaking

1. Delete the emails with the negative verbal spells in them

2. Delete the text messages with the negative verbal spells in them

3. Delete the voicemails with the negative verbal spells in them

4. Throw away the letters with the negative verbal spells in them

5. Disconnect from the relationships that dispatch and/or support the negative verbal spells

The DNA of Destruction

“D“oubt

“N“egativity

“A“ttitude

5 Things To Remember To Remain Free From Verbal Witchcraft

1. Don’t harvest what people try to plant in your head.

2. Don’t let “what” you are distort “who” you are.

3. Believing you can’t isn’t the problem, it’s not believing you can.

4. Moments of doubt aren’t destructive, it’s the momentum of doubt.

5. Falling in quicksand isn’t the problem, it’s not being about to get out.

007 – Finally Overcoming Obstacles – How To Overcome Obstacles and Not Be Overcome By Obstacles

Success Sculptor — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 11:44:57 +0000

Finally, overcoming obstacles?

YES! This 7th Episode of The Success Sculpting Show is about about how to overcome obstacles and not be overcome by them.

Booker T. Washington once stated, “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.”

Wherever you are in your life right now, you arrived on the wave of obstacles. However, today’s obstacles tend to overshadow the obstacles we overcame yesterday and we forget how strong and resilient we really are.

Let’s not hesitate here, let’s jump right into the Show so finally for you overcoming obstacles becomes a fact and not fiction.

Here’s a snapshot of what we will cover in this Episode.

The 5 Primary Internal Obstacles

1. Worry (Uncertainty about the future)

2. Depression (Not in agreement with what has happened or is happening)

3. Fear (Loss obsession)

4. Intimidation (Seeing yourself as small and incapable by comparison)

5. Doubt (Belief in your limits)

The 3 Locations of Obstacles

1. Where you’ve been (past)

2. Who you’ve become (present)

3. Whom you’re becoming (future)

The Wrestling Match

1. Resisting reality

2. Fighting the facts

Remote Controls In Your Control

1. Replaying your past

2. Preplaying your future

3. Playing your present

Counter Attacking The 5 Primary Internal Obstacles

Problem: Circumstances are a breeding ground for worry, depression, fear, intimidation and doubt.
- Solution: Take your eyes of your circumstances and put them on what you’re looking to create.
Problem: Hopelessness is the primary fuel for worry, depression, fear, intimidation and doubt.
- Solution: Guard your mind with hope so your faith has soil to be grounded and rooted in.

5 Steps Out Of The Straight Jacket Of Obstacles

1. Don’t just define the problem, discover the solution and opportunity.

2. Be accountable for your life. Taking responsibility for where you are gives you your power back.

3. Don’t turn a cut into an amputation.

4. Help yourself through accepting (not blaming), forgiving (not resenting) and surrendering (not resisting)

5. Move beyond your feelings of distress, discomfort and defensiveness.

It’s not what other people have done, it’s what we’ve have done in reaction to other people.

And for the real secret to finally overcoming obstacles is to realize that obstacles are like nails, hammers and wood. They are the raw material for building the life your desire.

The path to finally overcoming obstacles is to not looking at how you avoid them, it’s looking for how do you use them.

006 – How To Change Your Life – When Things Are Changing For The Worst, Here’s How To Take Control To Change Them For The Better

Success Sculptor — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 12:13:16 +0000

People often say “I want to change my life!”

Here’s the good news, your life IS changing, even without your consent. Change is not only constant, it doesn’t require your consent.

Now, whether change happens fast or slow is secondary to one of the most critical aspects of change…

That most critical aspect of change that trumps speed, is direction.

You see, whether change happens fast or slow, change in the wrong direction is bad by all definitions and in every language.

So here’s 3 things to understand about change

1. Change is constant (fast and slow, because it’s all relative)

2. Change is directional

3. Without your deliberate input into the direction of the change, the default direction could be a disaster.

The difference is like the difference between driving and steering a boat, or just drifting with the winds and the waves in the environment.

In today’s Episode of The Success Sculpting Show, we will get down to the business of how to specifically change your life. Below are the Show Notes so you can get an idea on the many specifics we will be covering in this Episode. So if you’re ready to roll higher with change instead of being rolled over by it, then strap in, hit play and listen to today’s Episode…

The 2 Dimensions of change:

1. Change is external, like the changes in politics, the environment, the economy, relationships, etc.

2. Change is also internal, like changing thoughts, focus, moods, feelings, etc.

So how do WE change our lives into whom we want to be instead of having life change us into what we don’t want to be.

#1 Rule of Changing Your Life is to “Stop Comparing Your Life To Other Peoples Lives”

Self-Pity = Compares in a way to feel inferior

Self-Arrogant = Compares in a way to feel superior

The best comparison is to compare how much they can take with them to the grave versus you. With that comparison, we are all on par. We are all equal.

As tempting as the treasures of this earth are, no one, no matter how strong their grip, can take any of it with them.

The Walls of Prevention to Change

1. Fear

2. Uncertainty

3. Doubt

4 Facts About Problems

1. The path of progress in everything is paved by the brick and mortar of problems.
2. Only those willing to change and adapt to problems are qualified to cash in and acquire their desires.
3. Problems are open doors, not barriers.

4. Solutions are bridges that give passage through the problems.

3 Problem Awareness Questions

1. What is the single most important problem or issue that needs your immediate attention?

2. What is likely to cause the next outbreak, crisis or problem in your life?

3. What current small problems have the potential to grow into big ones?

The Big Question About Your Current Problem Is…

Is this problem a “symptom” of a higher level problem (a running noise my be a problem, but it’s really a symptom from a cold or allergies for example). In other words, are you treating symptoms of the problem and not the real problem.

Don’t just take action, take the RIGHT actions!

7 Specific “Change It!” Actions You Can Take To Change Your Life;

“Fix It” if corrective action is needed.
“Improve It” if boosting and modification action is needed.
“Eliminate It” if termination action is needed.
“Create It” if development action is needed.
“Anticipate It” if preparation action is needed.
“Prevent It” if preventive action is needed.
“Understand It” if comprehension action is needed.

Note: When you listen to today’s Episode you will get some specific examples for each of the 7 “Change It!” options listed about.

7 Change Transitions To Make Real Changes That Matter

From ===> To
(Cost?) (Payoff?)

Attached => Detached
Reacting => Watching
Resisting => Flowing
Judging => Accepting
Fighting It => Surrendering to It
Criticizing => Recognizing
Closing Down => Opening Up

Doing Change Is Better Than Being Done In By Change

Do change with Confidence
Do change with Conviction
Do change Consistently
Do change FOR A GREATER CAUSE!

And remember, success is about both scars and stars. I can assure you, wherever you see stars of achievement, they are covering the scars of achieving it.

005 – How To Bounce Back – When You’ve Fallen, Here’s 5 Steps To Get Up and Bounce Back

Success Sculptor — Fri, 12 Oct 2012 09:20:11 +0000

BOUNCE BACK!

There it is. These two words define the border between winners and losers.

100% of people fall down… but an unknown significantly less percentage get back up again and bounce back.

Deciding to bounce back should not be a choice… it should be a lifestyle.

Doing it again should not be an option, it should be an automatic response.

The only way to win is to be willing to lose again.

The easiest part of success is identifying where you are and where you want to be. The most challenging part of success is being able to bounce back over and over again in your journey to get where you want to be.

Getting hit and bouncing back are par for the course of success. The question is never, will you get hit… the question is always… what will you do when the hits start coming… when you’re overwhelmed with the weight of adversity and when you fall down and feel like you can’t get back up again.

In this 5th Episode of the Success Sculpting Show, we will dig into the crates of my battle gear and pull out some weapons for winning the game of bouncing back.

Here’s a quick look at the 5 steps we will cover in this episode on “How To Bounce Back – When You’ve Fallen, Here’s 5 Steps To Get Up and Bounce Back”

1. Look Up – Look towards where you want to go. (Grasp your goals again)

Here is the “L.O.D. Have Mercy Method.”

A. “L” is to “LIST” your goal getting opportunities.

B. Given your limited resources of time, energy and money you want to focus your efforts on goal getting opportunities that can yield you the most benefit so “O” is to “ORGANIZE” your goal getting opportunities based on impact. Highest impact to lowest impact.

C. Next, you want to Organize a second list based on effort. Lowest effort to highest effort.

D. Look at each organized list of goals and put a number beside them based on the goals short term potential. The means the goals immediate impact on your life. So the goal that can impact you the most, the fastest gets a “1″ next to it.

E. Since we want to focus your resources in those those areas that are most critical to your competitiveness and success in the area that’s most important in the hierarchy of importance, “D” is to “DECIDE” which goal getting opportunities you will get up and re-pursue first.

2. Sit Up – Move away from where you don’t want to be. (Do the doable, move the movable)

Define the core improvement you are looking for that you can impact without waiting for someone or something to impact it for you.
Doing the doable and moving the movable is about knowing explicitly what you can control that impacts your immediate future.
This is important to know so that you can put your scarce resources of time, energy and money to the best use.
- 1. Control The Controllable
- 2. Control your focus
- 3. Control your thoughts
- 4. Control your feelings
- 5. Control your beliefs
…and you will control your experience of each event.
If you don’t proactively control these things, then they will drift by default to the negative and that negative, like an anchor will weight you down, and then pull you down and you will drown in defeat when you could of be swimming in victory.

3. Clean Up – Dust off the loss of failure. (Re-calibrate your thinking. Be present with a future orientation, not a bias to the past)

A critical starting point or restarting point is to

1. Have an a clear and accurate understanding that the facts of past failures is not a prophecy of your prospects of success in your future.

2. You want to have explicit rules of engagement in how you treat and view yourself going forward.

3. Have clear and unbreakable boundaries about how you remember and revisit your past.

4. Step Up – Take the next logical step for progress. (Momentum objectives)

Wanting, wishing and waiting will never give you what willingness and working will produce.
Take what you’ve gathered from the “Looking Up” and “Sitting Up” and synthesize them into solutions you can implement.
Create momentum objectives.
Momentum objectives are not necessarily the thing that will get you the biggest bang, but they are they things that getting you going towards the bang.
Create habits of action that you can build on to replace the bias of inaction and complacency.

5. Make Up – Recapture lost ground. (Get the momentum)

We don’t just want to get momentum, we what to measure it.
No matter how many clear goals and desires you have, if you don’t have objective measurements then success and progress gets lost in the noise of movement and the sea of subjectivity.
Recapturing lost ground involves measuring the ground as you gain it.

004 – How To Be Productive – Peak Performance Tips and Techniques to Help You Perform Better In Life and Work

Success Sculptor — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 12:45:10 +0000

If you want to know how to be productive and experience peak performance, then we need to take a step back from the to-do list, the newest productivity app and the various ways of getting things done from smart goals to checklist.

Now, I’m not saying those tools are not necessary. In many ways they are, however they are not sufficient within themselves.

Understanding how to be productive starts with understanding that performance starts in your head, it get’s agreement from your heart and it shows up in your hands.

If you’re like me, then you know from first hand experience the frustration of buying into the newest hippest productivity tool or app or method only for it to seem not to work for you.

Perhaps you have half a dozen, a dozen or even more productivity apps on your phone or tablet. Maybe you’re library of physical and digital books are loaded with volumes of time management and productivity advice.

We live in an environment where demands on our time, energy and money are increasing and along with that there is an increase in technology and the number of ways to handle those demands.

Yet, in a world of hyper technology to help us manage better and get more done with less sweat, it seems like instead of taming our time, technology is taming us as time slips away and as we battle with technology and struggle to manage time we seem to be producing more stress and less peace.

One reason this happens is because time management without mind management is a management disaster. It’s a recipe for frustration and it’s counter-productive.

A prerequisite to effective management of time and space is to take the time to manage the space between your two ears. In other words, mind management is the foundation that successful life and time management is built on.

With a house, the house can only be as good and strong as the foundation that it’s built on. So it is with the management of anything external, it’s effectiveness is based on how strong your internal management is because that’s your foundation.

In today’s 4th Episode of The Success Sculpting Show, we will look at some quick peak performance tips and techniques to help you build a strong internal foundation of mind management so you can excel in your external management of time and space which can lead you to better performance in your life, work, relationships and more.

Here are some of the highlights of what we will be covering;

POP: Proper Orientation and Perspective
Faith as a product of hope.
Perspectives are like glasses. If you can’t see clearly then you have on the wrong lenses.
Changing your perspective of the situation is better than stressing the situation.

You will also learn;

You only experience the stress of a situation if you interpret the situation as being stressful.
Key steps to being your best even while under stress.
3 words to take total control of your focus.
The 1 question to help you navigate your focus.
Moving away from negative labels about yourself.

Here are 5 quick tips to enhance your productivity.

1. Plan – Your plan identifies the who, what, when and where of closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
2. Prioritize – Sequence is everything. You don’t put your pants on first and then your underwear or you shoes on first and then your socks. Knowing the order of what to do keeps things in order when you’re doing them.
3. Do It Now – The fastest route to getting to where you want to go is starting now, because any delays in starting equals delays in arriving.
4. Automate – Don’t do manually what you can do automatically. Look to leverage technology and get acceleration from automation.
5. Eliminate – Prune of your weakest activities and the nonessential task. Separate what’s nice to do from what you need to do.

Now let’s get going with the Show, shall we?

Stephen Pierce Tips To Help You Achieve Success In Life

Success Sculptor — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 23:24:49 +0000

Everybody wants to achieve success in life. No matter how you personally measure success, be it financially, physically, mentally or socially in your relationships with people or God, you will need to commit to the process and be dedicated to seeing it through if you expect to achieve the success you desire.

Obviously we all define success in our on way and on our own terms. So, what one person thinks of as being successful may not be the same for another. That being said, no matter your ultimate aims or definition of success, It’s my hope that you find following quick tips be helpful for you.

The work that is required to achieve success in life may not all the time be easy, but by keeping your eyes on your targets you can be reminded that it’s worth. From there you can find addition strength to keep moving forward. In fact, most challenges would be easier to overcome by remembering what it is that you are working towards. Do not forget that your destination may be decided overnight, but your destiny is determined overtime. That basically means that in a moment you can decided where you want to go, but it takes time to get there.

The path to success in life will be filled with ups and downs …in fact, more downs than ups. You must be persistent and committed to see it through to the end. The journey is one that you should enjoy no matter what happens. And while that may be easier said than do, be sure to take each step and each day as it comes, even when your hard work seems in vain, do not lose sight of your dreams. I suggest you listed to the podcast How To Never Give Up – Hope Doesn’t Abandon Us, We Abandon Hope – Here’s How To Never Never Never Give Up.

Success, should not come by sacrificing happiness. You should ensure you live each day to the fullest and enjoy every single minute of your life as much as possible. Don’t let what’s around you dictate what you will experience inside you. Cultivate a attitude of appreciation and gratitude. No one that is dependent on circumstances, because it’s easy to be happy and grateful when everything seems to be going your way. Circumstantial happiness is fleeting like morning fog and never last. A true test of gratitude is how we respond when everything seems to be going every way but your way or what you consider to be the right way. In those moments, dig deep and discard any negative disposition, because it will be difficult to see the light in the darkness as the negativity can cause a mental blackout.

Courage is vital fuel for your journey to achieve success in life. You should have the courage to believe in your abilities and possibilities. Your belief should march around with a big bat ready to beat down doubt when it’s shows it’s ugly face. And yes, I know that doubt can appear so often in so many places that at times beating it is like playing whack-a-mole. All I can say is… keep whacking! Don’t let your dream drown in doubt. Don’t allow your vision to become a victim of short term discouragement. Even if those around you are not helping or supporting you, you should have the courage and vision to walk alone, run alone fall along and get back up alone and what you will find and is that one your journey you get new friends, new supporters, new cheerleaders. Those that peel away from you, make room for the new to pull in next to you.

I’ll leave with few nuggets that I posted on my Facebook on 5 Observations About Overcoming Obstacles to Achieve Success In Life;

1. If you don’t choose to do it out of inspiration today, waiting could mean doing it out of desperation tomorrow.
2. For every commitment there is a challenge and for every challenge there is a way to conquer if you’re truely committed.
3. Your determination reveals the depths of your dedication while your dedication determines the difference between what you can be versus what you will be.
4. Conquer yourself, to control your mind and tap into the courage to face every challenge.
5. Self-control is a skill of strength that helps sculpt your success.

003 – How To Never Give Up – Hope Doesn’t Abandon Us, We Abandon Hope – Here’s How To Never Never Never Give Up

Success Sculptor — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:32:41 +0000

The prerequisite to never give up is to be prepared to get up.

Winning is not just about knowing where you want to go to, it’s also about being mentally, spiritually and physically fit to get there.

The path of success is littered with bones and body bags of those who decided to fade to black somewhere in between the beginning of their journey and their destination.

I understand the feeling of exhaustion when you seem to be working really hard, while nothing is hardly working other than life seeming to be going into overtime whipping on you.

It’s hard to breathe… your lungs are burning, your eyes are blurry, your knees are buckling and your breathing is shallow.

You reach out and reach up hoping to grab hold of the hand of a friend or family member to help you get your footing or get back up from a slip and fall.

However, your reach comes back hollow as no hand claps to yours …so you decide to call out names one by one and as you scream in agony in what seems like your inevitable defeat… and all you hear is the echo of your own voice as if your in an empty hall, left alone… abandoned by those who said they’ll stick with you through thick and thin.

Your back hurts, not just from your work load and heavy burdens, but from those who said they had your back but instead betrayed you and started stabbing you in the back.

From pools of sweat, running tears and drops of blood …life seems to have knocked the wind out of you.

But if you never give up …then life hasn’t knocked the WIN out of you.

I know there is no music to dance to… and no one to dance with. I understand there is no one to make you laugh and nothing to laugh at. There are no voices in the room… nothing but silence… all you can hear and feel is your own heart beat as you struggle to breath, as if you’re trying to inhale through a straw.

This has become your defining moment as hope is turning into hopelessness and fearlessness into fear.

Destiny hangs in the balance as you feel like your hanging by a thread.

There is only one decision to be made now… will you or will you not give up.

I vote, that you NEVER GIVE UP!

Today’s 3rd episode of The Success Sculpting Show is about how to “Never Give Up!’

Because, right now you’re in the middle of something, and you know going back gives you nothing… yet moving forward brings you everything.

However you may feel to tired to do anymore so you prefer to lay down and snooze… I understand that you’re heart is willing but your body is weakening while your mind is wandering.

In today’s Episode on “How To Never Give Up” we will take a deep dive into four core concepts of building intestinal fortitude and resiliency. As a results you can dig deeper and go higher because you will never, never, never give up.

Here’s what we will cover in today’s Episode;

Perseverance and persistence looks at the overall fitness of your spirit, soul and body.
You cannot respond according to how you feel, you must respond according to the situation.
Understand that you build winning positions overtime, not overnight.
Proper orientation is a prelude to perseverance and persistence.

Success Quotes #3 – On Overcoming Fear and Doubt

Success Quotes

Success Quotes #3 – On Overcoming Fear and Doubt

Click on the image to the left to grab the full size version from Pinterest.

Doubts become dictators when we don’t subdue them and destroy them.

Doubts pollutes the air you breathe and poison the blood …and to make matters worst, doubt pals around with it’s closes friend called fear.

Fear weaves a cocoon for you to live in that isolates you from your dreams.

One of the greatest fears known to man is the fear of loss. Well, let me tell you… you, I and all of use will always lose something. But let me sharpen this image for you by saying this;

Choose what you will lose…

1). Lose your fear and live your life

or 2). Lose your life because of your fears.

Combined together, when your faith is caught between the pincers of doubt and fear a bright future disappears in the smog of despair, hope morphs into hopelessness and we resort to coping strategies as opposing to advancing and conquering strategies.

Let me add that both doubt and fear are two-faced double-crossing liars.

By that I mean they offer you the illusion of safety by staying where you are and not taking risk and chances and at the same time it sneaks up behind you silently and slices the arteries of your life as you bleed out all your hope and possibilities.

Both doubt and fear are vampires that tempt you to surrender your soul to an abyss of nothingness.

Okay so check this out, the big illusion here is that doubt and fear have a grip on you… oh no my friend, in actuality it is you that have grasped the chains of fear and have sipped the forbidden wine of doubt.

The fastest way to detox from doubt and overcome fear is to understand it’s not over you or under you it’s a manufactured experience inside of you.

You no longer have to go around drunk on doubt and intoxicated on fear. Being a doubtoholic can be a thing of the past.

Release it like you would a handful of hot coals and just get on with your life.

I know that sounds easier said than done, but the way to make it easier done than said is to loose yourself from the unhealthy addiction to fear and the irreconcilable differences your dreams have with your doubts.

It’s a decision that takes as long or as short as you decide it will take.

Give yourself permission to breathe again, to live again.

It’s time for you to come out of the shadows of fear and rise out of the ash of doubt by flapping the wings of faith and allowing the winds of hope to assist you in soaring higher and higher.

Make the decision now to let go of your fears and doubts for the future.

You can look forward to your future with hope and confidence. If today or tomorrow brings joy, welcome it. If it brings challenges, know that you have the strength and fortitude to conquer them.

No longer a coward, you’re courageous and as a result, you are free from the jaws of fear and clutches of doubt.

Avoid fretting over what is to come. And certainly stop fretting over what has already passed you by. Instead, bury the hatchet with your past and seek solutions going forward as you focus on what YOU CAN DO to experience the life you desire.

One thing you can do is to live “IN” the moment, not simply “FOR” the moment. That means you maximum your impact today with the full understanding of how it influences your tomorrow.

When you are focused on the now, the right here, the today… in this moment, there is no past to imprison you and no uncertain future to frighten.

You can then savor the seconds that tick by while being mindful of the minutes that roll on as discover, tap into and maximize the power of ever hour available to you.

In wrapping this up, let me encourage you to have a “flexible focus”. That means you’re focused intensely on where you’re going, but flexible as to how you get there.

This is necessary because challenges are a natural part of the terrain in life. Understanding the terrain and navigating it is a primary key to success.

Today, you can choose to be carefree (but not careless), Leave the past in the tomb of yesterday, …allow the birth of tomorrow to come in it’s due time and for now discover the beauty and the power available for you today.

Until next time, remember… don’t let you doubts control your future, control the future of your doubts.

How To Be Successful

How To Be Successful – 5 Steps On The Path To Success

1. Commitment to start, continue and complete.

Curiosity is enough to get us started in any new venture however it takes a strong commitment to see it through to completion.

The easiest thing to do is to start something while the hardest thing to do is to finish something. And yet, the greatest value of any process is in completing it.

Finished homes, finished cars, finished meals bring a lot more joy than say… “some assembly required.” Can you imagine picking up your new car only for them to tell you it’s 75% done and that some assembly is required to finish your car so you can drive it?

Not the ideal purchase unless you’re in to building your own cars. For most drivers, a completed car is more valuable.

One way to strengthen your commitment to the process is to not lean on your intentions. I’m sure we all have good intentions when we start something. But be assured that the feeling you started with can quickly fad once you hit a cloud of turbulence.

While intentions are good, if we instead fully understand how completing what we started working on will impact and influence others for the greater good, then we have a better chance of following through.

You see, your commitment carries you through when your feelings have faded.

So if you want to know how to be successful, know that success is not about what you feel like doing, it’s about what you’re committed to becoming, doing and contributing to no matter the pressure or the pain you experience in the process.

So in the moments of our greatest trials, when the good feelings have long abandoned us, it’s the deep roots of what we are committed to that will keep you standing on wobbly legs and weak knees.

That’s how to be successful… be committed!

2. Courage to deal with change and obstacles.

How do you spell opportunity?

O-B-S-T-A-C-L-E-S!

Opportunities are birthed from obstacles …progress is birthed from problems …and championships are won by those with the courage to take on the greatest challenges.

Courage is not about being fearless it’s about having something that is bigger than your fears that drives you.

You see, when David faced Goliath, David saw the rewards of victory to be bigger than the size of the threat he faced.

Most people spend too much time sizing up how big the problem is and what they stand to lose instead of sizing of the spoils of victory and what they stand to gain.

When we live with courage, we are not ignorant of what we can lose we are simply more willing to risk losing it in order to win.

The duality of life is such that when you seek love, you risk being hurt… when you trust, you risk being betrayed and when you go for winning you risk losing.

Risk is the horse that all successful people ride to their promise land.

So the second answer to the question of how to be successful is to have the courage to accept the involved risk and understand that to accept the risk is the first down payment to owning the reward.

That’s how to be successful… be courageous!

3. Confidence in your abilities!

Confidence, not cocky… confidence, not conceited.

I’m not talking about the kind of confidence where you think you’re better than anyone else.

I’m not talking about a confidence that constantly rattles between the pincers of low self-esteem and high self-esteem.

The confidence I’m talking about is not a judging of what you are …it’s a “knowing” of who you are.

A confidence that you are good enough for it… a confidence that you are well deserving of it …a confidence that you can do it.

Not a confidence lurking around for approval so it can breathe, not a confidence that’s weakened by memories your past or strengthen by the meaningless words from other people.

It’s a confidence rooted in knowing that you were born with the right stuff and all you need to do is choose to use your stuff right.

I’m talking about a confidence so unmoved by circumstances that circumstances begin to move and change because of your confidence.in action.

Like an earthquake changing the environment it enters, so it is that with this confidence, you don’t doesn’t accept what is… you create what can be.

This is a confidence that far exceeds believing what you can do…it’s a confidence in believing what God can do… despite of you.

So the third answer to how to be successful is to tap into the organic and natural well-spring of confidence that can only be discovered when you take your eyes off who’s watching you… and close your ears to what people say and think about you and you focus on and connect with the infinite omnipresence of God our Creator… then you too will slay giants.

That’s how to be successful… be confident!

4. Certainty about the outcome!

While the uncertain will wish for it, wait for it and wonder if it’s going to happen… it’s those beaming with confidence and certainty that builds wisdom for it, works for it and know it’s going to happen.

We’re not talking about an exercise in witchcraft or even wishcraft, we’re talking about the exercising of “WILLcraft…

A “will”ingness to endure the worst to get the best.
A “will”ingness to do it when you don’t feel like it.
A “will”ingness to go when no one goes with you.
A “will”ingness to be wrong so you can get it right.
A “will”ingness to turn nothing into something.
A “will”ingness to be patience for your rewards.
A “will”ingness to share and bless others with your rewards.

Is also an understanding of the journey in that;

People “will” talk about you.
People “will” hate you.
People “will” try to discourage you.
People “will” try to stop you.
People “will” try to bring you down.

And to that you respond;

I “WILL” not care who talks about me.
I “WILL” love those who hate me.
I “WILL” always be encouraged.
I “WILL” not stop no matter who or what gets in my way.
I “WILL” stay up in this down world.

Certainty is not about a hollow faith behind empty wishes and lazy visions.

Certainty is about a strong fixation about a future you insist on influencing to happen.

Certainty is forgoing looking for guarantees in life because you have already guaranteed to yourself that you will do whatever… whenever… wherever… however… with whomever to make sure the picture in your mind happens in time.

So the fourth answer to how to be successful is to understand that certainty is not about what others guarantee to give to you… it’s about what you guarantee to yourself and then back it up with a no-limit commitment to make it happen.

That’s how to be successful… be certain!

5. Consistency in action!

There is perhaps no greater effect experienced every day in our lives outside of the “cumulative” effect.

What is that?

The cumulative effect is caused by what we do consistently or not.

For example, getting fat is cumulative. It’s not one bad meal… it’s a whole bunch of them consistently. The cumulative result is weight gain and obesity.

Getting fit and healthy does not happen from one trip to the gym and one healthy meal. It’s the result of consistently working out and eating healthy.

It’s not one drink that gets a person a drunk, it’s the cumulative drinks. In other words, it’s the consistent drinking.

Now, to think you need to be more consistent is to be misinformed about the nature of consistency.

You see, we are all ALWAYS consistent.

From an internal biological automatic system stand point you have consistent breathing, consistent heartbeat, consistent blinking, consistent oxygen going through your body and so on.

What happens if you become inconsistent in any of those? It’s adios amigos!

Now, from a deliberate external neurological, thinking and acting standpoint, we are either doing things consistently that sabotages us or serves us.

Consistent thoughts either sabotage or serve… consistent focus either sabotages or serve… consistent feelings either sabotages or serves. (You get the point I’m sure.)

Consistency is not developmental as much as it is directional.

That means you can take your preexisting and ever present power of consistency and point it in the direction you want to go and start consistently doing the things that will get you there.

If you want to know your future, consult the consistency of your behaviors.

Like a meteorologist being able to with a high level of accuracy predict the weather to come… so it is with our lives. We can, with a high level of accuracy predict the nature and texture of our futures by simply looking at what we consistently do right now.

You have an inevitable future and what it will be is hidden in the consistency of your current behavior.

While no one can really predict the future, watching the consistency of behaviors and thoughts gets us darn close.

If you eat a whole 12 inch fully loaded pizza every night before bed for 90 days… do you think you have a clue to what the future holds?

Uh… yea… I think so.

So the fifth answer to the question of how to be successful is to look at one of the most powerful constant forces in our lives… the power of consistency.

You don’t control the power of consistency, you control the direction and thus you control the impact it has.

That’s how to be successful… be consistent. And if I may add, be consistent at the right things.

How to Be Assertive – 5 Tips to Being Assertive and Confident

Success Sculptor — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 03:13:38 +0000

The topic on how to be assertive is searched for by thousands every month online. Self-help books fly off the shelves of bookstores. They’re the most common books on request at libraries. From business people to housewives, people are looking for ways to improve their lives, and the most sought after self-help books are those on how to be assertive and confident.

During job interviews, potential employers look for essential qualities in prospective employees. Assertiveness and confidence are high on the list. People we admire in the business world are often seen as confident and assertive.

To achieve goals in life, these are two valuable character traits. While some people seem to be born assertive and confident, the rest of us can learn how to be assertive and confident.

To help you learn how to be assertive, here are 5 ways to become assertive and confident:

How to Be Assertive #1. Overcome shyness. Shyness can range from healthy to overwhelming and debilitating. Shyness is not the same as having low self-esteem. Many shy people have a very positive image of themselves, but they lack assertiveness and confidence.

If you’re shy, you can practice these techniques to overcome your shyness:

Visualization. Positively visualize situations and circumstances before experiencing them. This will give you a better “what if” scenario, and help you be better prepared for any variation.

Practice speaking. People who are shy often dislike the sound of their own voices. Practicing speeches in front of a mirror or with trusted friends will help you gain the confidence you need.

Reinforce the positive. This is a way of thinking yourself out of being shy. By using affirmations to assert your positive characteristics, you can convince yourself that you are brilliant and worthy of great things. After all, sometimes the hardest person to convince is you!

How to Be Assertive #2. Learn the difference between being aggressive and assertive. People respond better to an assertive person rather than an aggressive person.

Aggressive people are seen as bullies who approach a problem with harsh criticism. They would say someone is doing a project “all wrong,” for example.
An assertive person, on the other hand, approaches the same situation with concerns and ideas to improve the project.
Your goal should be to approach people with positive attitudes and solutions to problems. If you respect others and treat them as you want to be treated, you’ll have the same courtesy returned to you.

How to Be Assertive #3. Become informed. One of the best methods of being assertive and confident is to know your subject matter. No matter what the situation is, the more you know, the more confident you’ll be.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a job interview or a presentation to your peers, knowing what you’re speaking about will give you that aura of confidence you desire.

Be prepared for potential questions on your subject matter. A good idea is to have a trusted coworker help you identify common questions and answers. You will gain confidence in front of others when you first brainstorm and practice with someone you are comfortable with.

How to Be Assertive #4. Speak up. Speak with confidence even if you don’t feel confident. Practice speaking this way. The more you practice the more it will become second nature.

How to Be Assertive #5. Model your behavior after people you admire. Chances are the people you admire have the assertiveness and confidence you’re looking for in your own life.

Observe how they do things.
Pay attention to what they say and how they say it.
Watch their body language.

Studying people who have the traits you crave is one of the best ways to create those very same traits in yourself.

Learning to be confident and assertive can enable you to achieve your goals with ease, whatever they may be. Practicing these and other methods will put you on the right track to success.

First and foremost, you must believe in yourself and your abilities. Keep in mind that some of our greatest leaders didn’t start out assertive and confident. George Washington was too shy to talk to people growing up. He changed his ways, and so can you!

If you want to power up your assertiveness, then be sure to try these ideas to get started in discovering your inner strength.

How to Give Constructive Criticism

Success Sculptor — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 02:52:41 +0000

Wouldn’t it be great if all the criticism we got was constructive criticism?

That said, have you ever been on the receiving end of criticism and felt that you just had the wind knocked out of you? While most criticism is intended as helpful advice, many people have poor communication skills and the message gets lost in the delivery so while constructive criticism may have been the intent, that’s not what the impact is.

If you’re responsible for supervising any group of people, whether small children, a sports team, or employees, it’s inevitable that you’ll need to deliver criticism. When that time comes, keep in mind that positive constructive criticism gets much better results than negative criticism.

Here are some ways you can use constructive criticism to criticize behavior to promote positive changes:

1. Sandwich it. One of the best ways to deliver criticism is through a technique called the hamburger method. Keeping this process in mind will help you stay positive when correcting someone.

Start with something positive (the bun), discuss the problem (the burger), and then finish with another complement (the bun). When discussing the situation, refrain from attacking the individual. Focus on the behavior or the situation, not the person.

2. Be direct. When you’re approaching someone with a complaint or criticism, deal directly with the problem. This is no time for subtle hints. Come right out and say what you need, and then offer a workable solution.

You can avert problems before they start by making sure your directions leave no room for misunderstanding.

When you need to correct someone, ask him or her to explain their perspective of how to handle their task. A difference in expectations could be causing the problem. If so, state clearly what you want so they have an opportunity to change the problem.

3. Move on quickly. Once you’ve established what you want, another way to make sure you are engaging in constructive criticism is to let this issue rest and give the other person time to process and implement changes. Over time, sometimes continued prompts may be needed, but most people will be able to implement change as long as they don’t feel threatened.

The ideal situation is where the person listens to your feedback, understands the desired outcome, and then finds a way to achieve that outcome. You can encourage this behavior with explicit expectations.

4. Avoid public humiliation. Unless you’re addressing an entire group who can all learn the same lessons from your criticism, speak to individual employees privately.

Showing respect by not embarrassing them in front of their co-workers will lessen any adverse reactions and can lead to a more effective conversation about the issues.
If your workplace is made up of cubicles, borrow someone’s office or a conference room to converse privately. Avoid starting office gossip by having a private conversation in the midst of open cubicles and curious ears.

5. Be specific. Relay exactly what the problem is and determine a solution. Vague criticism can be just as harmful as harsh criticism. For your best results, when giving details, strive to strike a balance between being overly critical and being indistinct.

Rather than saying, “We need to see improvement from you,” try, “Our sales numbers are down for this quarter. I need you to schedule more sales meetings for the next month.”

When delivering constructive criticism, always consider the other person’s point of view before making your comments. Constructive criticism can be helpful and even appreciated if done effectively. Use these techniques to deliver your criticism and you’ll foster a positive environment where everyone can thrive.

Now that you know how to give constructive criticism be sure to try these ideas to get started in discovering your inner strength.

How To Become Rich – What’s Different Between Rich People and the Poor People?

Success Sculptor — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 23:18:02 +0000

Nearly everyone wants to learn how to become rich, but not many are. Why do so few people have real wealth, even though everyone desires it? Certainly, there must be some fundamental differences between the rich and the poor that can account for the differing levels of success.

Rich people often seem capable of generating amazing things in their lives. And many with less money seem to be stuck and the hunt for the secrets of how to become rich. You wouldn’t be alone if you concluded that this is due to some difference in abilities or work ethic. But if you look closely at the rich people you know, you’ll likely find that most aren’t particularly lucky, intelligent, or hardworking.

Let’s uncover some insights on how to become rich by examining some of the actual fundamental differences between rich people and poor poor:

How To Become Rich Insight #1. Rich people attempt to create a specific life for themselves; poor people believe they have no control. If you don’t believe you can create the life you desire, why would you even try? But if you can envision what you want, you stand a chance to get it.

How To Become Rich Insight #2. Wealthy people dream much bigger. Tell your poor friends that you want to be a millionaire and see what they say. You’re likely to hear something like this, “No one needs that much money. You can live fine with a lot less than a million dollars.”

Do you think that a person who says things like this is ever likely to be wealthy? People who are poor always tend to think small. People who are rich dream big.

How To Become Rich Insight #3. The rich play to win, and the poor play not to lose. This is significant. The rich are quite bold and are always searching for a way to win when money is involved. The poor are too busy worrying about preserving what little they have. They never give themselves the chance to become wealthy.

How To Become Rich Insight #4. Opportunities vs. obstacles. Those who are wealthy tend to focus on the opportunities and then simply deal with the obstacles as they arise along the way. The poor have a habit of focusing on all the obstacles.

Focusing on problems makes it very difficult to find solutions. A problem-oriented mindset also can cause challenges in staying motivated. By keeping your eye on the prize and staying focused on solutions, you’ll find continually moving forward to be much easier.

How To Become Rich Insight #5. Commitment counts. The rich do an excellent job at staying committed to achieving their goals. The poor are good at dedicating themselves to dreaming about their hopes instead of making goals out of them.

Although you may have fun thinking about how great it would be to be rich, that’s not going to make your desires happen. Set a goal and then fully commit to it.

How To Become Rich Insight #6. Peer group matters. We all tend to rise or fall to the level of our peer group. Have you ever noticed that the rich hang out with other rich people? Spend time with wealthy people if you want to succeed financially. You’ll be amazed at how your perspective changes when you hear people talking about how they made $2,000+ in a single day.

How To Become Rich Insight #7. The rich constantly learn. You’ll find that wealthy people are usually learning new things, especially when in regard to making more money. The poor frequently have an attitude that they already know everything they need to know. Don’t stop learning.

Developing the habits and attitudes presented in this article will go a long way towards improving your financial situation. It’s never too late to start, and you’ll be amazed at how quickly you can turn things around. Start today and you can change your financial life forever!

Whether you learn how to become rich or not, be happy in your life. Be sure to read about how you can Fill Your Life With Authentic Happiness.

Fill Your Life With Authentic Happiness

Success Sculptor — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 22:30:42 +0000

How About Some Authentic Happiness

Authentic happiness is a funny thing. Many experts say that authentic happiness comes from within. This may be true, but there are also specific experiences that make us happy.

Maybe having a great day at the park with your kids filled you with authentic happiness. Or perhaps that promotion you’d been working for finally came to pass. Bet you felt happy then! However, you probably also know someone who seems happy all the time, even when things aren’t going well in their life.

So how can you have more of this elusive thing that comes both from within and from without? Luckily, there are specific things we can do to bring more authentic happiness into our lives. We can also choose to remove things from our lives that may prevent happiness.

Try these ideas to simplify your life and focus more on doing what brings you real authentic happiness:

Unplug from email. Everyone loves to get email, as long as it isn’t spam. But the enjoyment is only temporary. Think about the amount of time you spend on email over the course of a week. Is all that time you’re spending making you happy?

Do what you can to eliminate the 95% of the email that means the least to you, and limit this communication tool to those people you care about the most. Just knowing that you don’t have email piling-up 24/7 provides some mental relief which will help make way for happiness.

Ditch all the stuff. Go through your belongings one by one and purge the stuff that you don’t need or love. All the extra stuff is just getting in your way and tying up your resources. Sell the stuff, pitch it, donate it, or give it away to friends.

Cancel cable television. Cable TV is practically a given in our country. But the time it takes away from the average person’s life is staggering. And no one is happier from watching television. It merely serves as a distraction from the real issues, both positive and negative, in your life.

Try limiting your viewing to 2-3 hours a week. This will free up plenty of time to do other things you love or work toward goals that are important to you. Reaching those goals will, in all likelihood, bring you more happiness than excessive TV viewing!

Getting rid of these things might not directly increase your authentic happiness, but it’ll allow you some time and space to do other things that will increase your authentic happiness.

Now that you’re done with the big steps, what’s next? Take some time to consider these areas of your life:

Spend time on your relationships. How is your relationship with your spouse or partner? Is there something that could be improved upon? Making this relationship as positive as possible is crucial to your happiness.
Evaluate your social network. Are your friendships and social activities supporting your happiness? In what ways do they make you happy? How could you increase your positive feelings in this area?
Assess your health. Are you as healthy as you could be? Are you happy with your body? What changes could you make to your routine to bring about the results you desire?
Be honest with yourself about your career, finances, and hobbies.Look at each of these areas and determine if you would be happier with some changes. If so, make a plan with some easy action steps to get you started on a path that brings you more joy.

Now that you’ve gotten rid of the dead weight and changed the things that aren’t as good as they could be you have room to add in activities that support your authentic happiness. Don’t be in a big hurry to take up all the new space; enjoy the peace and quiet.

If you have an activity you’d really love to add to your life, now is the time to do it. Over time, continuing to add new things that bring joy will enhance your overall authentic happiness. Your life will be forever changed.

Having a life filled with authentic happiness is really quite simple. Just get rid of all the objects and activities that aren’t adding to your joy. At this point, you’ll have the time, space, and money available to add more satisfying features to your life.

Try implementing just one or two items from this plan today. Before you know it, your level of authentic happiness will be higher than ever.

Be sure to also try these ideas to get started in discovering your inner strength.

How To Discover Your Inner Strength

Success Sculptor — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:44:01 +0000

Inner Strength!

Even though life can be a fantastic ride, sometimes it can also knock the wind out of your sails. When tough times trigger your insecurities, you can discover an inner strength that will get you through practically anything.

Try these ideas to get started in discovering your inner strength:

Reflect on the tough times you’ve had before. Ask yourself how you got through it. What did you do? What did you think? What did you tell yourself? Your resilience will become evident as you do this exercise and give you real hope for the future in dealing with other obstacles.

Recognize that you’ve made it through those difficult situations. Then think about what you’re experiencing right now. Is the current situation similar to or much different from your other tough times? Use what you’ve learned from your past challenges.

Learn to talk to yourself in positive, encouraging ways. This will help you build up your inner strength.

As if speaking to your own best friend, tell yourself what will most help and encourage you. What do you most want to hear? What do you need to hear to help you in finding your inner strength? Is there something specific you’re hoping will happen?

Practice providing yourself with encouraging, uplifting messages to boost your inner strength. The messages you give yourself can be less than helpful or they can propel you through the roughest of circumstances.

Talking to yourself with respect, care and positivity builds your inner strength so it’s there when you need it. When the going gets tough, you’ll have yourself to fall back on.

Allow yourself time to think through whatever the situation is. It’s okay to feel confused.

Consider who you regard as role models or mentors. You selected those people because you respect and admire them. They’re strong enough people that you want to emulate them.

What are your ideas about how to weather the storm? Examine all the solutions you can come up with. Explain to yourself what you’ll do and how you’ll do it.

A sense of your own resourcefulness can be found in your ability to problem-solve through challenging situations.

Think about their strength of character. How do you know they have it? What does that strength look like? How does it manifest?

Reflect on what you’ve done or been through that you’re most proud of. Was it making it through college although you had to work while you attended classes? Maybe it was moving out on your own for the first time and figuring out you could take care of yourself.

Even though you might have felt afraid, uncomfortable, lost, or confused, you discovered your internal resources and made it through those experiences.
When you examine what you did to handle those situations and how you made it through, you’ll recall your inner strength.
You can get in touch with your own resourcefulness by re-visiting those events that bring you pride.

Sometimes, you’ve just got to “fake it till you make it.” You can probably recall a time when you felt afraid or weren’t sure you could succeed, but you stood up and met the challenge head on.

Discovering your inner strength is possible, even in the toughest of times. Following the steps above will help you discover your inner strength, courage and resourcefulness. And with this self-understanding, you can handle anything!
