  • Finding Your Courage - New Food Or Old?
    By: Liz Copeland | - I was faced with an interesting question from my younger son the other day. He meandered into the kitchen and said was it all right if he used my The New Raw Food Detox Diet book as a plate for his chocolate cake. There were so many things wrong with this question I didn't know where to begin. Not that Natalia Rose, the author of the eponymous book, is against chocolate, but I don't think huge teenage-sized slices of chocolate cake qualify for good nutrition. And to use her book as a plate!

  • Sacrificing Individuality In Steven Crane's Civil War Novel, The Red Badge Of Courage
    By: Paul Thomson | - When Steven Crane wrote The Red Badge of Courage in 1895, he had never even been in a battle, let alone the American Civil War. Nevertheless, it's now considered one of the most accurate portrayals of war in literature - a characteristic that initially ticked a lot of Americans off as being "unpatriotic." Only when British critics praised the novel could Americans forgive Crane's suggestion that war is no picnic in the park.

    The novel centers on Henry Fleming, a.k.a. the Youth, who enters ...

    By: Kristina Miller | - As you strive to teach your children discipline, you are likely focusing on correcting problem behaviors or teaching respect, courtesy and selflessness.

  • White Elephants On The Sales Call
    By: Tony Cole | - By Tony Cole, CEO of Anthony Cole Training Group
    In your selling system, what is it that you need to recognize that you have been afraid to confront? How many times have you been on a sales call and knew that something was wrong, but lacked the sales courage to do anything about it?
    The decision maker isn't there

    By: Larry Agresto | - How To Create a Life of Unlimited Possibilities

    "There is a time for departure, even when there is no certain place to go." - Robert Frost

    Introduction

    As you begin to read this article on personal development and self-improvement, I'd like to ask you to put aside all judgment and simply wipe the slate clean.

  • Just Who Am I
    By: Larry Agresto | - Regardless of how we relate to it, our self-image serves us, good or bad, right or wrong. The consequence of our self-image is not in our past itself but in our interpretation of the actual past events. The seed we plant in our memory bank is the data that we bring forth into our present, each and every day of our lives. It is our interpretation of this data that plays a major role in who we are and who we become. We shape our perception of reality and how we function in the world that we create ...

  • It's More Comfortable To Be Uncomfortable
    By: Ted Ciuba | - Today's topic is Decision.If I were to have a subtitle for that chapter, it would be Courage. That's because meaningful decisions require courage.

    The centerpiece of this chapter is a political instance that Napoleon Hill originally included, and that I left in when I updated the book. I thought it communicated the point very, very well.

    This instance involves a few plotters, a few subjects of a country who, by any definition today, would be called out and identifi ...

  • Risk Is The Playground Of Champions
    By: Lee Coates | - Here's a shocking question that most of us would most likely not ask. If you took more risks would you be more successful?

    The play it safe philosophy has been a deeply rooted belief since we were kids. Avoiding risks is thought to be the smart move. Most of us have been brought up to make it through life in one piece, being thankful that we have a roof over our heads.

    This is a mindset rooted in fear and scarcity. Ask yourself these questions. Has high risk taking ...

  • An Emotional Stimulus Plan: Why You Need One To Succeed In Turbulent Times
    By: Margie Warrell | - Yesterday a friend emailed me to say that after years trying to make it as a freelance writer she's admitted defeat and is now trying to find a paying job. I replied to her that all she needed to do was drop the 'defeated' talk and instead reframe her situation more positively. That is that she enjoys freelance writing; and while she will continue to write, she is pursuing work that provides a more reliable source of income. She quickly replied that she felt far better (and I'm guessing, more ...

  • Trust: Where Is It Lacking In Your Relationships?
    By: Margie Warrell | - When working with clients on trust, many of whom work for corporations and are faced with issues of trust (or lack thereof) daily, understanding the three key elements of trust can be very helpful to them. My guess is they will also be helpful to you - first in enabling you to better distinguish specifically why you don't trust someone and second in helping you become more effective in building trust yourself (or repairing it when damaged).

    To illustrate the inter-relationship be ...

  • Is Fear Running Your Life? How To Find Your Courage Amidst Adversity
    By: Margie Warrell | - Emotions are contagious; and if there's one emotion that seems to spread even faster than all the rest combined, it's fear. Fear breeds fear. One fearful thought quickly snowballs into a bigger one and then another. It creeps its way in, metastasizes and leaves you living under a dark cloud of anxiety that has you feeling like you have no choice but to take the safer path of least resistance, political correctness and convenient mediocrity.

    That's no life! Below are five que ...

  • Committed To The Dream....or The Fear?
    By: Sahara Damore | - All I hear from the sign we often see (Warning: Do Not Back UP. Extreme Tire Damaage) is to "Move Forward. Move Forward." But what keeps us from doing this in our lives? What holds us back from living our greatest dreams? Oh yeah, that pesky little thing called fear.

    Well, the good news is that we have choices when it comes to dealing with fear and our beliefs. You see, beliefs are never neutral. They either move you forward or hold you back, but you choose what you believe. The ...

  • Could Blame Be Holding You Back & Limiting Your Happiness?
    By: Margie Warrell | - Yesterday I walked in on my two younger sons, Matthew and Ben (aged 5 and 6), to find them in the midst of a big barney (Aussie for quarrel). When I asked what was going on, a tearful Ben admitted, "I punched him on the nose because he said I was a dumb dumb". Matthew quickly defended, "Yeah, but that's because he wouldn't share his Pokemon cards".

    Later on, when tempers had cooled, I tried to explain that it's no excuse blaming someone else for our behavior. Hitting is not okay ...

  • The Case For Courage
    By: Ken Keis | - "Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events . It is from numberless acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped."
    Robert F. Kennedy

    The Case for Courage

    Websters defines courage as "the quality of the mind that enables a person to face difficulty and danger without fear."

  • What Changes Are You Avoiding In Your Life?
    By: Margie Warrell | - The whole concept of comfort zones evolved to explain the hedonistic psychological drive in all of us to seek pleasure and avoid pain. Comfort zones - characterized by the familiar, the known, the predictable - are where we risk little except, of course, our spirit's deepest fulfillment.

    Change, by its very nature, requires us to step beyond our comfort zone and let go of something we've become familiar with - whether it be the structure of our company, a relationship, a routine ...

  • Health, Vitality, And Courage
    By: Steve Charles | - During the dark years that followed my diving accident, I deviated from my wholesome eating habits. This deviation was partly due to my limited control over my diet, as I lived in a hospital or a group home. It was also due to my reduced health-consciousness. Largely disgusted with life, I was proportionally hedonistic and suicidal. I sought consolation in gustatory pleasure at the risk of undermining my health. To be more precise, I often overindulged my fondness for fatty and savory foods or s ...

    By: Margie Warrell | - I know that you have experienced a lot of change in your life - some that you've enjoyed and some that you haven't. You've likely endured some disappointments, changed jobs, or at least experienced change on the job, enjoyed many fun occasions, grieved some losses, and through it all, had to grow and adapt and learn and become stronger, wiser and more resilient.

    If you think about it, life is one long continual process of change. Sometimes it's change we welcome. Sometimes it's ...

  • Do Your Fears Serve You Or Rule You?
    By: Margie Warrell | - Now, more than ever before, we are bombarded daily with a litany of reasons why we should play it safe, avoid risk, fear change, distrust and stick with the status quo. For this very reason, now, more than ever before, we need to be mindful about the potentially oppressive impact of fear and increasingly discerning about which ones we pay heed to. We also need to be asking ourselves on a daily basis, "Where could I be living with more courage?"

    Firstly, let me just clarify what ...

  • Where Could You Be Living Your Life More Fully?
    By: Margie Warrell | - As I think back and take the time to remember when I heard that Steve Irwin, my kids #1 hero, had been tragically killed. What a shock. People like him don't just die in their prime of life.

    Alas, of course, they do. Whenever I hear news like this, what really hits me is just how mortal we all are and just how numbered our years on earth will be. I think it begs us to ask ourselves the question "are we really living?"

    Now you may be thinking to yourself, "Of course ...

  • Do You Have The Courage To Keep Faith?
    By: Margie Warrell | - A month ago my brother Frank was in a terrible motor bike accident in the sand dunes outside Doha, Qatar, where he has lived for the last 3 years. He broke many ribs, collapsed part of his lung, damaged his kidney, broke his femur but worst of all, badly injured his spinal cord at T12 (waist level). The neuro-surgeon looking after him told me that the probability was that Frank, 41 and incredibly active, will not walk again.

    By: Margie Warrell | - The quality of your life is determined by the quality of the choices you make each and every day - Choices like the one that my sister Anne made earlier this week when she broke off her engagement seven weeks short of her walk up the aisle. The invitations had been mailed, the reception center booked, the dress fitted and the ring adorned her hand. Needless to say, it has been a traumatic and teary week for Anne and her now ex-fiance and for all of us who care for them.

  • Is Your Fear Of "stuffing Up" Stifling You?
    By: Margie Warrell | - Last week whilst talking with someone about how they wanted to change career direction, they said to me, "I just wish I knew that this was the right thing to do. It feels like the right thing to do, but I just wish I knew for sure it wasn't going to be a mistake".
    "Ahh.... join the club," I thought. "Don't we all?"

    We can wish it were otherwise; but the way life works is that only by risking a mistake now and then (or risking 'stuffing up' as we say in Oz) can you ever h ...

    By: Laura Hunter | - In his book Cowboy Ethics: What Wall Street Can Learn from the Code of the West, James Owen writes that real courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway.

  • Do You Have The Courage To Trust Yourself?
    By: Pat Jones | - Trust is a seemingly simple word, the meaning of which, I think, is really not simple at all. We have no difficulty saying to others I trust you, and we often mean what we say, but I believe our greatest difficulty lies in the courage to trust ourselves.

    When we have the courage to trust ourselves, we give ourselves permission to listen to our own voice of reason, and then to make those choices that we consider best for us, for our growth, for maximizing our potential as hu ...

  • Let Us Not Forget The Pendulum Factor Of The Foreign Currency Exchange
    By: Paul Dubsky | - Last year is gone and buried. Many have seen better years and are anxious to see what will develop now.

    A big percentage of investors in the foreign currency exchange game will be focused on two runners only, namely the US dollar and the euro. Of course, there plenty of other runners to select from, but those two are bound to be in the spotlight.

  • Opposite Thoughts
    By: Michael A. Verdicchio | - What we think about, dwell on and focus on will always set the course for our lives, whether it is positive or negative, success or failure, victory or defeat. But amazingly, few people know and understand this and even fewer believe it. Believe it or don't believe it; the battle will always take place in the mind.

    I like to think of thoughts as seeds. Seeds have a planting and germinating process. If they are planted and nourished, they will produce. Someone once said that you ...

    By: Susan L Reid | - Perhaps you have heard of Ambrose Hollingworth Redmoon. No? Well, I am sure you will remember him as soon as I tell you he was the one who penned the popular quote, "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear." Does that ring a bell? I didn't know who Ambrose Redmoon was either until I did some research.

    Born in 1933 in Painesville, Ohio, as James Neil Hollingworth, Ambrose was a beatnik, hippie, and former manag ...

    By: Max Vogt | - A few years ago, the experts in my field of psychology and psychiatry finally realized what everyone already knows--and published it in our main diagnostic manuals.

    They looked at the experiences of trauma and pain and recognized that everyone is different, and that you can't define trauma and pain in general terms that apply to everyone.

    Everyone feels pain differently and uniquely. What one person calls pain, another might call pleasure. What one person calls pa ...

Fourteen years of parenting, reading countless books and listening to the sage of advice of many who walked the parenting path before me has taught me much. Ironically, what stands out the most is how much there is left to learn about being an effective parent and how often I still miss the mark. Hitting the mark is tough even in the best of circumstances; with work, after-school ...

    "Courage is the clich hallmark attributed to the hero. I say clich because people talk about courage as if it is some mysterious force only a hero is born with. Courage is a vague and fleeting concept for many people because they lack it themselves. People lack courage because they lack knowledge.

    If we have a happy family life, our careers are not what we hoped they would be. If our careers are soaring, we're often busy getting a divorce or stuck in a dead-end relationship.
