Life Lessons from DeathBy: Denise Ryan - Life is good at teaching us lessons - keeping us on our toes when things get too easy.
Like many of you, I called my Mom in May to wish her a happy Mother's Day. She told me she had a cold that just wouldn't go away. She had finally been to the doctor about it, and he ran some tests. Four days later we found out she had liver cancer. My mother died in two weeks.
I still can't really believe she's gone - it happened so quickly.
How to focus for successBy: Jacqui Tillyard - Ask any successful person one of the traits that they accredit to their results and they will tell you - the power of focus.
Having focus allows you to concentrate on exactly what needs your attention to create the positive outcome that you seek. I see many coaching clients and they complain about the results they have achieved so far in their lives. As I listen to their reasons (usually a list of excuses!
Calming the Freight Train in the MindBy: Sharon Carne - Do you find it difficult to meditate? Meditation is often defined as quieting or calming the mind. There are many ways to do this. And that is good news.
An effective way of calming the mind is to create a very strong focus on one thing. Singing bowls are a successful tool for creating this focus. Their sound has such a powerful presence that it is difficult not to focus the mind, especially when you are playing one. It is a wonderful way to create a meditative state with minimum effort. And that is even better news.
Firearm Training - Would You Put Your Safety in the Hands of a Criminal?By: EmmySue Pryor - In a world where the crime rate is as high as it is, gun training, as well as other forms of self defense training is crucial. In a letter to the editor from Daily Camera, a woman named Kristin Stordahl seemingly disagrees with the purpose of our Second Amendment Rights, calling America "gun-crazy." She says, "When a criminal points a gun at you and then you point a gun at him, what do you think will happen? Someone will get shot, most likely you. When a criminal pulls a gun on you and you DON'
Does your life have Meaning?By: Jacqueline LewisLyons - This past weekend I received the news that someone I knew had passed away. It was quite a shock because of the circumstances. But having known that this person had made some pretty significant changes to improve her life over the past 18 months helped me deal with her passing. This caused me to think about how fleeting life is and the fact that none of us knows when our time here will be over. So I asked myself, "Am I doing what I believe is important for my time here on earth?
How To Overcome Flying Fear For WomanBy: Andrew Wilkie - Fears scare the hell out of us. Plain and simple. People are scared of, fearful of everything and anything. No matter what your fear, I can tell you someone, somewhere also has the same fear as you.
A common fear is a fear of flying. This is caused for a variety of reasons: people fear more attacks by terrorists, they have a fear of height, a fear of not being in control, or they can have the fear and not even know why. Yet they still don't like to fly.
A change is coming...By: Jacqueline LewisLyons - I can't believe that it is already the middle of November - where did the time go?! So much has happened this month that many of us are already overwhelmed and tired out. I know that I was exhausted by the time the election came around just from excitement about the major change we were facing - the first African-American president or a female VP. This exemplifies how much our country has changed over the past 50 years. Of course, there are some challenges associated with change. Some of us don't handle change well.
Several Reasons Why We Can All Benefit From Life CoachingBy: Duncan Paul Mitchell - What is Life Coaching?
In my opinion, life coaching aims to help you achieve clarity and confidence to work through issues that are holding you back from enjoying a challenging and harmonious life. Life coaching is not about making simplistic judgments about someone's life and telling that person how they ought to live it. The majority of coaches set out to fix what is wrong with people. I don't believe in that approach at all.
Stop Being a VictimBy: Denise Ryan - The foundation for living a great life rests on one vital principle: You are responsible. Yep, that's right - you are responsible. Unhappy in your job? You took the job, you choose to remain in the job, and you are choosing to be miserable about it. Overweight? No one force fed you all that food. In debt? Guess who spent more money then they could afford? In a bad relationship? You keep showing up.
The first step in improving any of these situations (or countless others we could name) is taking responsibility for them.
Setting Up A Personal Development PlanBy: Alan Thomas - Although many of us are aware that good goal setting is the reason the majority of successful people have achieved the results they have, it is still not enough of a spur to actually sit down and come up with a personal development of our own.
In this article we will take a look at how you can go back to the beginning, and set up a plan to develop your personal success.
