| Article Title :: Goal Setting - The Facts Behind The Fiction |
| |
| To have hopes and dreams for the future is a wonderful idea. If you want to call them 'goals' that's fine also but do learn to get things in perspective. They are NOT achieved in the way you have been led to believe.The much talked about conscious mind, subconscious mind, the will, belief patterns, etc. are simply descriptions of mental procedures and do not exist in isolation, as many people believe.They are all part of the same 'mental cooperative'.Ah, there lies the rub!The moment you set a goal you instantly cause an 'inner conflict' to take place between various departments of this mental cooperative.This is unavoidable due to the way we were brough (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Hunter, The Forest, The Nagual and You |
| |
| What does it mean when they say "look inside you to find the way to success?"There was once a hunter called Juan who came from a little tribe, deep in the great Amazon forest, a tribe that was famous for its hunting skills. In his village, there were about twenty hunters just like Juan.At some point in his life, Juan was finding it difficult to find game. He would go into the forest at dawn and return at dusk with nothing. This went on for about a month. He would try all sorts of different tricks with each new day, hoping that this new effort would bring him a trophy, finally. But nothing worked. So one day, he sat by the river and pondered what he could do to change his for (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Painless Solution To Procrastination |
| |
| I have a confession to make. Once upon a time, I had a bad
case of procrastination. I could find all sorts of excuses
for putting off any activity which I just didn't feel like
doing!Big ideas - I had them. But the follow-through was not there.
So I wasted years not working on my ideas. I'd see other people come up with the same ideas and even make a career of them or write a book, and I'd think - hey, I had the same idea several years ago...but never did anything about it.But this is the worst part: procrastination can drive you crazy. When you have a big assignment that must be done, a presentation, a project, a goal - yes, you want to get it done, but you might be (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Mind Over Matter -- The Power of Thoughts |
| |
| One of the greatest challenges in life is understanding just how powerful our thoughts are. Many of us learn this the hard way -- myself included. After spending most of my early life caught up in negative thought patterns, it occurred to me that I had created exactly what I had been thinking about all those years.I worked at a stressful, unfulfilling job. I had an extremely low income, and no matter how hard I tried to improve my financial situation, I was always broke. I struggled with various addictions. I was alone, and felt I deserved to be alone for the rest of my life. Obviously, I had no self-esteem. It took me many years to realize that I was creating ALL of it. Why would (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Be Discontented With The Status Quo |
| |
| It is natural to be satisfied with the way things are; but the moment we settle for how things are, we give up the opportunity to experience how things could be. Life is evolutionary, but only if we allow it to be. If we choose to, we can get stuck in the comfort of the status quo and miss the real opportunities that require us to step into a bigger life.Many people in business are comfortable with things being the way they are. People will even say, "It has always been that way." Just because it's always been "that way" doesn't mean it has to stay that way. Things must change in order to grow. We must change. To stay the same means to never grow and develop, and never reach our fu (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Goal Setting |
| |
| The goal-setting process enables an organization to check on the attainment of both its short-term and long-term objectives. When properly done, this process provides an array of valuable benefits and is a link to coaching, motivation, and performance management. Working without goals is much like trying to bowl without pins at the end of the alley. There is nothing to aim for, no way to determine how many pins you have knocked down. Human beings, by their very nature, are scorekeepers; we love to know how close we come to the target. If there is no way for us to tell how well we are doing, we will probably drop out of the game. Goals provide the necessary measuring sticks to tailor work (read full article) |

It only seems a couple of weeks ago that I was drinking festive egg-nog, wearing my Christmas sweater and humming 'Sleigh Ride' too loudly in line at the supermarket.It's kinda scary to think that there's just six months of 2005 left to run, and we've already had the longest day of the year which means that the nights are starting to draw in (I'm not trying to get you down, honest!). So how's the first half of the year gone for you? Was it what you expected?Most importantly, what do you want the next six months to be about?
