• Affirmations That Attract Prosperity

    Do you have a hard time focusing on prosperity? Do you find yourself struggling with negative thought habits that only seem to attract more lack and difficulty into your life? Affirmations are one simple tool you can use to turn it around.

    Advertisements

    Affirmations work by delivering new messages to your subconscious mind. Most often, this involves replacing old, limiting messages with new, empowering messages.

    However, the way you word your affirmations will usually determine how effective they are.

    If I asked you to recite this affirmation: “I am a millionaire,” how effective do you think it would be? Would you turn into an overnight millionaire? Would money start falling out of the sky to land in your lap? Probably not. Why? Simply because you know the statement isn’t true. If you try to feed your subconscious mind a belief that you are a millionaire, it creates a conflict with your current set of beliefs. Your subconscious mind does not like conflict, and it doesn’t like change – so nothing in your life changes either!

    In order for affirmations to work, you MUST word them in a way that your subconscious mind won’t resist. In other words, make them believable.

    Compare the above affirmation to one like this: “I am becoming more prosperous every day.”

    That one feels better, doesn’t it? Your mind doesn’t try to resist it because you can actually imagine it happening (even if it hasn’t begun to happen yet).

    Another power-boost for affirmations is to word them in a way that places more responsibility on you. For example, instead of affirming, “I am becoming more prosperous every day,” you could say, “I am open to the best opportunities to make money quickly and easily.” The wording of such an affirmation makes you feel more in control of your circumstances. Rather than waiting anxiously for money to fall out of the sky, you send a message to your subconscious mind that you can control how much money you have by being alert to great opportunities.

    Affirmations can vary in the length of time required to firmly “take root” in your mind. For the most part, it depends on the intensity of your opposing beliefs and the level of effort you put forth in turning those beliefs around. If your focus on lack is very strong, you’ll probably have to expend a fair amount of energy and effort to train your mind to focus on prosperity.

    However, it is time and effort well spent because the more you focus on positive thoughts and prosperous beliefs, the more you’ll find yourself attracting good things into your life.

    Here are a few good affirmations to help get you started on the road to prosperity:

    • I use my thoughts and emotions to attract abundance effortlessly.
    • I am becoming more prosperous and successful every day.
    • I know I have what it takes to be as successful as I want to be.
    • I am talented and resourceful.
    • I create a better life one positive thought at a time.

  • Find Happiness By Giving Happiness.

    Have you ever heard this quote?

    “There is a wonderful, mystical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life- happiness, freedom, and peace of mind- are always attained by giving them to someone else.”

    It’s so true, isn’t it? I don’t know who it was who first said those wise words (if you do know then please tell me), but I have no doubt they lived a very happy life, because they have discovered one of the secrets to happiness.

    Advertisements

    In fact, the secret to success in all endeavours is found in this quote. No matter what you desire, give first and you will receive.

    If you want to receive love, then give love. Not exclusively to one person, but to everyone and everything. Express love to your life, your circumstances, your friends and family, and even the people you pass in the street. If you love all, you will receive love back, and you’ll become the kind of person who attracts that special person, and those special relationships, and a life of blissful love.

    If you want to get rich then don’t do it through the dog-eat-dog world of competition and win-lose deals. Give increased value to others. Wallace D. Wattles talks about this in his book Science Of Getting Rich better than anyone else I’ve come across. You get rich by providing more in use-value than the cash-value you receive. You get rich through co-operation rather than competition. You get rich through providing win-win deals. You get rich through providing others with the opportunities to improve their own lives. Once again, give and you will receive so much more back.

    The same applies to happiness. If you want to be happy, give happiness.

    Turn your focus around. It’s not all about you. Look out into the world and find opportunities to give happiness.

    James Matthew Barrie said, “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.”

    The great Mark Twain said, “The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.”

    Give happiness and you will get happiness. It’s the only way.

    Who can you make happy today?

    Who can you go and see, just to hang out together?

    Who can you phone to tell them you miss them?

    It doesn’t take much. Smile to someone who is feeling down. Hold a door open for someone behind you. Compliment someone on their clothing. Thank someone for a job well done at work.

    Happiness is so easy. Just give it to someone else, and you’ll find more than enough is magically left behind for you.

    Give happiness. Be happy. And smile!

    The Engineer on seeing the plan will say “Sir, you are constructing house once in your lifetime, why such a low budget house, we can increase slightly your plan sir, it won’t cost much only a 10% increase in your normal budget” he will tempt you.

    By that time you will also have some Himalayan courage, and think why we can’t adjust that 10% increase, ok we can adjust that 10% increase by obtaining loan from our relatives, and you give consent to the engineer’s suggestion.

    The Engineer will begin to build your house. The house is also going to be completed soon and only some finishing work is there.

    You ask your engineer ‘when can I take possession of the house’, sir?

    The engineer will politely tell you, Sir, there is a small problem, the problem is there is a sudden increase in the cost of materials, so I fear whether it is possible to complete the building what we have already planned.

    But you are in the dream that the house should be constructed at any cost. So you don’t bother about the resource to complete the house and prepared to arrange for the money required for completing the house.

    What you will do. The next thing before you will be some bank balances available out of your savings and the jewels of your wife or your children.

    So your savings, jewels will all go from you and fill the cashbox of another businessmen.

    Your house will become ready finally. On seeing the house raised beautifully you forgot all the sources where the money came from to complete the house.

    You will forget about the loan you obtained from your company.

    You will forget about the loan you obtained from your relatives.

    You will forget about the erosion of your savings and jewels.

    All these will come to your remembrance only when the company commences their recovery for the loan you obtained.

    All these will come to your remembrance only when your relatives need the money they paid.

    All these will come to your remembrance when you don’t have enough money in your savings account for your urgent requirement.

    Then your mind will think about the resource to fill up the deficit in the family budget, the loan to repay to your relatives and for your urgent requirement.

    Advertisements

    You will get easy resource to fill up this deficit, because you are working in a company, getting regular salary, higher salary. Companies are ready to give credit.

    You are also ready to get credit from another company to fill up the deficit.

    So you are ready to close the small debt pit, and begin to dig another debt pit, which is little more in size than the first pit.

    The same deficit pressure mounts after some time. Again you are prepared to obtain loan from another company.

    Now you dig another debt pit, which is more than the size of first and second debt pit.

    Like this you will go on digging pit after closing the earlier pit to overcome your deficit.

    Finally at one stage when you see the remaining pit, it will look like a deep pit, which you cannot fill it up from any source.

    So the ultimate choice before you will be to dispose off the house and fill up the huge pit finally stands before you.

    You have also made arrangements to dispose off the house.

    One person came forward to buy the house. Even though the rate offered by him is not as expected by you, you have no other option except to get the money and fill it up the debt pit.

    The house was finally sold off and you got the money. But while working out the amount you have to settle to your debtors, you need some more money.

    However with the proceeds realized out of selling the house, you have settled most of the debt and still keep some portion of the debt.

    You have lost all your savings, jewels, and other resources and still you have to settle more debts?

    Where all of your money has gone?

    It is no secret, most part of your debt were for the interest.

    The interest made you to close one pit and dig another pit and finally you was let with a big pit with most part of the pit were for interest.

    This is a common plight of most of the families especially in the middle class.

    The reason is due to the mental capability to enjoy all modern amenities without knowing the economic capability.

    Enjoying the life is absolutely necessary but it should be from our own resources. We can enjoy the life but not on obtaining debt.

    We have to increase our resources to enjoy the life. We should find out the opportunities to increase our resources and then think about enjoying the amenities.

  • Ten Relationship Traits And Skills For Good Leadership

    An important aspect of good leadership is the ability to work and relate with others. There are ten qualities that characterize successful leadership in the area of relating and communicating with other people.

    Advertisements

    1. Availability
    A good leader is available and in touch with people. An important leadership skill is the ability to recognize needs and be able to respond to them quickly and in the moment.

    2. Facilitating Harmonious Relationships
    A good leader realizes the importance of harmonious relationships and is proactive in creating a harmonious atmosphere. Successful results are born out of harmony rather than conflict. Good leadership will prioritize keeping conflict and disharmony to the minimum.

    3. Approachability
    A good leader is approachable and has an open door policy. Good leadership creates an environment where openness and honesty can occur in an atmosphere of fairness rather than judgment.

    4. Appropriate use of authority
    Sensitivity to the proper use, and conversely the misuse, of their authority is the whole mark of good leadership. A good leader will not use their position of authority for self gratification and promotion or in a controlling and domineering manner. Successful leaders use their positional power with wisdom and sensitivity to the appropriateness of the circumstances.

    5. Confidentiality
    Good leaders conduct conferences and meetings in an atmosphere of trust. They display appropriate confidentiality and respect towards others and about others.

    6. Self Motivated
    Good leaders set and use goals to motivate themselves and others. They understand the importance of personal and professional development. Successful leaders do what is necessary to upgrade their knowledge and skills and be on the cutting edge in their field. Successful leaders not only motivate themselves in personal development but also motivate those around them.

    7. Provide Support
    Good leaders are able to provide emotional support for those for whom they are responsible. They recognize the importance of encouragement and inspiring confidence and also give recognition of a job well done.

    8. Maintaining Motivation and Team Spirit
    A good leader provides incentives and motivators to improve the performance of their employees to challenge them to maintain quality results.

    9. Clear Communication
    A good leader is an excellent communicator. Their leadership involves communicating clearly the objectives and procedures required of a task. They set clear, attainable, and measurable goals.

    10. An Understanding of Group Dynamics
    A good leader understands the dynamics of group relationships. Successful leaders have the ability to lead groups without aggravating conflict and minimizing disharmony. They are inclusive and skilled in creating a sense of team unity. They are adept at balancing the strengths and weaknesses of the group for best results.

  • Importance Of Listening When Doing A Speech

    Try listening to other expert speakers as much as possible during a speaking event especially the guest speaker since they may be able to provide useful tips while hearing them talk. This could also eliminate redundancy and add more bits and pieces when it is time to speak in front of the audience. Also, this is to save a speaker from any embarrassment, since other speakers at some point try to use materials of the same kind.

    Advertisements

    Aside from listening to the other speakers, try to listen to the majority of the audience. By knowing the audience, a speaker can have a clearer idea on what is really sought after and what the audience may not like to hear. Here are some tips that can be accomplished before making that big speech.

    · Whenever possible, go to the entrance hall and try to mingle with the audience as they arrive. Greeting them will remove the tension and putting a smile on their faces at the start could let it stay there when the speech begins.

    · Feel the room. Being familiar with the people and the place can be helpful in knowing the audience type.

    · Remember that people came there to listen and the event has been probably scheduled ahead of time and the last thing that the listeners would want to hear is a speaker giving apologies.

    · Do some research. Knowing who you are delivering the speech to and the place where these people came from will definitely give ideas on how to properly talk to them.

    · Study their facial expressions. They may not be saying anything but their actions and the way they tense their muscles would definitely mean either they do not understand what the speaker is saying or they have other questions to support what was earlier spoken. If this happens, open the floor for questions. Begin by raising one’s own hand to invite people with questions.

    · The audience would especially want a speaker who is interesting, very informative, and can provide entertainment.

    · If they have questions, make sure to understand each and answer them in the most informative and non-offensive way as possible if the topic is very sensitive. Put seriousness in if the topic calls for it, but for minor issues, a little keynote for an icebreaker will surely help.

    · A speaker must know when to halt during the speech. Practicing the speech at home by using a timer would help a speaker eliminate unnecessary words or phrases during the speech. Unimportant words are not needed since he would not like his audience to end up being bored and not having to understand the speech all together in the end.

  • How To Learn When To Say “No!”

    Let’s face it! Many people just seem to have great difficulty in saying “no” or denying any favor asked from them. As a result, they often find themselves trapped in the middle of nowhere because of their own hastened decision or acceptance of an unfavorable task – just because at one particular point in their life, they were afraid to say “no.”

    Advertisements

    For those who are constantly faced with this problem, the following tips will prove to be useful.

    1. Do not occupy yourself with things that do not concern you.

    If you habitually engage in something you hardly know anything about, you are making your situation far worse than the one who does nothing at all. On the other hand, some people seem to get satisfaction by intervening in other people’s business. Always be alert and possess utmost care to ensure that no one meddles in your own affairs. Good moderation in all areas of life will be helpful in the end.

    1. Decide first whether a task is worth your precious time.

    Just a simple thought: If it will just eat your time away from the more important things you consider in your life, then it’s not worth your time. Period.

    1. Avoid incurring obligations beyond your capacity.

    Instead, nurture your skills and abilities for the time being. There will come a right time for you to step up; and when that perfect moment arrives, waste no opportunity. But as long as you are not sure of the outcome, say “no” for the meantime especially if the favor will just derail your strategy.

    1. It is always harder to come out well from an incurred undesirable obligation than to avoid the embarrassing situation of not committing yourself from the very start.

    It is a judgment test for anyone. Ask this question to yourself, “Do I want to avoid them or conquer them?

    1. If you have to think, take a break and take your time.

    Matters that can cause an adverse change in your life require a lot of thinking. There are times when people act on first impulse, on what they feel and think at that very instant. Certainly, this is not always the case.

    Although less commonly known to people, acquiring tasks (no matter how simple they may seem) is synonymous to putting your honor at stake once you allow yourself to be involved. Be sure that when you put your name and honor on the line, everything will end up well.

    Advertisements

    It takes as much courage for a person to earn a responsibility as to deny it. Whatever you decide on, always keep in mind that there is nothing wrong in saying “no.” When in doubt, it may even be the best thing to do.

  • How To Turn The Dream Into A Reality

    The first step is to understand that in order to achieve success you must take action. Inertia is the most common reason for lack of success!

    Advertisements

    What is your dream? Your goals for the future? What do you want to achieve in your life in the next week? month? year? 5 years? What would you like people to remember you for after you have left this world?

    • Think big – challenge yourself. Reach for the stars!

    • Be clear about where you are now. Audit your strengths and areas for development

    • What needs to be done to eliminate the gap between your dream and the reality?

    • Prioritize – Look for quick wins, consider those things which will have maximum long term impact. Build solid foundations, think of sustainability!

    • Set challenging but realistic targets. Aim high.

    • Communicate your vision, and keep doing so. Ensure that all stake holders understand and subscribe to the same vision.

    • Who do you need to involve? How will you ensure they sign up to and stay committed to the vision?

    • Think about the language you use – sound positive, if others think you are confident it can be achieved. They will gain confidence too. Develop a “Can do” mentality within your staff. For every problem there is a solution, encourage others to see themselves as problem solvers not problem givers.

    • Create clear lines of communication which operate at every level and in all directions.

    • Break each priority down into small achievable steps, involve your team.

    • Who needs to do what – by when? Set a timetable

    • Identify the roles and responsibilities for all staff; ensure that staff take ownership without creating a “jobs worth” approach.

    • Ensure that people are appropriately trained and that training is constantly updated.

    • Build in the monitoring and review process from the start so you can evaluate performance and be prepared to adjust as necessary. (By creating a culture of development rather than blame huge potential will be released.)

    Advertisements

    • Celebrate success! and remember to thank people for their contribution, give credit where it due and be generous with it.

    • Develop professional honesty within your staff, constructive feed back can be invaluable.

    • Finally leave your ego behind as it will simply get in the way of your success.

  • Effective Listening

    All too often we are far more enthusiastic about talking than we are listening. Yet it is so vital if we are to communicate effectively. Most break downs in relationships are caused because people talk at each other without really making contact. Unless someone hears what has been said including the subtext the words have little value.

    Advertisements

    When we are actively listened to we feel valued and are far more likely to engage in negotiation and compromise.

    Listening is about far more than words. Watching facial expression and body language is often a far more accurate barometer than the words that are being used.

    Nice things being said where the smile doesn’t reach the eyes is an obvious example.

    To be an effective listener it is vital that you listen actively.

    10 tips to becoming a more effective listener

    • Make eye contact.

    • Read the body language of the talker. Are they relaxed, anxious, angry? Extremes are easy to recognise but often the message is much more subtle

    • Mirror the talker’s body language- subtly, a gentle dance rather than a caricature.

    • Show that you are listening, nod, make appropriate responses

    • Ask relevant questions, ask them to clarify if you are not clear about their meaning

    • Summarise: so what you are saying is……….

    • Use open ended questions, the who, what, where, when,

    • Be careful of the tone of your voice when you respond or ask questions. It is all to easy to come across as judgemental or as an interrogator from the Spanish Inquisition

    • Use empathy. Acknowledge difficulties, but be careful not to fall into the trap of going into anecdotes from your experience. “ I sense that you are finding this rather difficult” rather than “Oh I know, it happened to me but mine was bigger, more difficult etc.”

    • Take a real interest, if you are simply going through the motions the lack of sincerity will be obvious to others. Leave your ego behind, concentrate on the other person.

  • An Effective Style To Use In Public Speaking: Audience Participation

    An effective public speaker should be able to utilize devices that will be able to capture the attention of the audience. One effective means for them to give you that much needed interest is this: get them to go on stage. Make them participate. When someone is on stage and he or she happens to be a member of the audience, the rest will almost always stay attentive. Why? Because they would like to see what you will be doing to one of them. Also, because they are thinking they could be up there themselves and so to save their precious egos from embarrassment they at least need to know what is going on.

    Advertisements

    No matter how good or excellent you are as a presenter or as a public speaker, nothing beats the excitement of getting someone to be on stage who really should not be there in the first place. What is going through their minds at that moment when you pull an unsuspecting someone from their complacency is that, “Oh my god, what if the speaker selects me to go up there next? What am I going to do?” Then later, “I need to pay attention to this.” A little bit later as you go through your presentation, the audience will then most probably think, “What point is he/she making?” And then as you take your point across, the audience will then get to think, “Now I get it.” Because you made them pay attention, you have forced them to listen and respond to your statement in the privacy of their minds.

    However, there are those extremely shy and very sensitive members of the audience who might withdraw from going through the rest of your presentation if they hear you will be calling on them up on the stage. The objective is to gain an audience and not to lose any of them.

    Make it clear prior to your asking someone to come up on stage with you that you are asking for a volunteer and that no one will be forced if they do not want to. Notice that if the majority of your audience are shy, once you finally get someone to be on stage, all of them will almost always heave a sigh of relief that you would actually feel a breeze pass you by, really.

    Another way to get the audience to participate as well as pay attention is by giving them due recognition. Try to acknowledge a single member of the audience for a specific achievement or a moment of a good performance, or also acknowledge a group of the audience.
