Here are 2 examples to illustrate how the different beliefs we adopt affect and impact our outcomes in life If you have a belief that all men are unfaithful, you will only remember and focus on all the times when you saw and heard about men being unfaithful. You will tend to mentally delete all the instances when it did not support your belief. You will also tend to distort what you see and what you hear to support your beliefs. For example, if your husband were to call and say, &... more...

Every American should know the names of the Presidents. First we list the Presidents and find substitute words for their names. Beside each president write words of similar sound.

Then we make up a little story which includes these substituted words in order. The story might run somewhat like this: <... more...

Do you know that your beliefs are so much more powerful, so much so that they can literally affect your biochemistry? Have you ever heard of the placebo effect? Doctors wanted to investigate if a patient's belief in a drug could actually made a difference in bringing out the effectiveness in helping and curing the patient. So in one experiment, they gave patients pills in which the medical contents were replaced with sugar. In other words, the medicine had no active i... more...

Are you ready to anchor yourself for success? Great! I want you to choose 5 resource states you would like to access in different situations in your life.

Your beliefs drive your goals. In other words, what you belief about yourself and the other people around you will determine what you want in your life. What you want in your life will determine your strategies, your actions, and your beliefs also will determine what you will do when you fail. Do you trigger it as feedback or do you give up? You see, your beliefs are like the operating system to your brain. They determine how we perceive the world and how we respond to what happe... more...

You get into personal development, and all it seems since the beginning, is that everyone tells you to set goal. We have heard about goal setting, once, twice, perhaps even hundreds of time!

Studies have found that more deaths occur after important public occasions. This is due, not because of ... more...

We hear ever so often, mindset is everything, and without the mindset there can be no success. Is this really true, is mindset the be all and end all of success? Can your mindset play such an important part in the results you see? It is said that success boils down to 90% psychology or mindset and 10% to action. Even though in time we will act, and those actions do play a very important part, the psychology is still a crucial part. Imagine for a moment wanting to achieve going on h... more...

Are we tapping the unlimited potential contained within all of us? Do we know how to tap and access into this potential? The answer is, when we believe that something is possible, we will inevitably summon all the resources we have to support that belief. We literally open up our tap to all our creativity, energy and resource by taking more action. For example, if you believe that you could never make more than 2000 dollars a month, what kind of actions will you go out there and ... more...

The mind is a topic which many of us utilize, though we may not utilize it constructively. We may not realize the true power of our thoughts; as such we may go into every direction, apart from the direction we seek. Thoughts are things, and truly thoughts are things is a sentence found in the legendary book Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. I agree with what he said. Having gone through a short time I have been on this Earth, I have found the truth of what Napoleon Hill said, when I f... more...

Look at the man over there, he is so successful, he has all the money in the world. We may look at others and wonder how they are living such a successful life, while you may be struggling.
