Life Lessons: The Best Things Are The Simplest Ones By: Rana David | - It is often said that the most successful ones among us are not always the hardest workers more often than not, the people who do best are the people who work the smartest, with a clear goal and focus towards their direction in life.

Getting Outside Of Tradition By: tishbite | -
Tradition is good but there are times when it just doesnt help anything at all. We must learn how to keep it in its proper place and not allow it to rule our lives. There is nothing wrong with observing traditions but the human tendency is to become blinded by them.
I have found that we as people tend to make our own rules for everyday life and sometimes we will stick to them even though they will serve to take us under. We ... Tags:life, lifestyle, life experience, experience, life lessons, tradition
The Life Experience By: tishbite | - Life is a strange thing. We learn as we grow older but the lessons that are the hardest are those of the past. We learn what not to do only after we have done it. Sometimes the lesson will come back around and be useful but most times we can just chalk it up to a life experience. Lifes lessons are good and sometimes they are tough but the best lessons are those that will have some sort of future benefit.
Bad Decisions By: Susan Russo | - "The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing." -John Powell
Decisions, decisions, decisions. We make them every day. Some are good, some are bad and sometimes we make no decision, which is a decision in itself. You've heard me say it 100 times, "All of our choices come with consequences, so choose wisely." Sometimes the consequences are minor and sometimes the consequences are big, really big and then we have to live with them.
12 Life Lessons I Learned From Swimming By: Anne Presuel | - I've been swimming most of my life, and have loved it from the very beginning. I remember my first swimming lesson at around age 5, where we had to put our faces in the water and then turn our heads to the right to learn to breathe. The teacher pointed at me and said, "Yes! Everyone look at her! That's how I want you to do it!" In that moment, the water and I merged into one, and a life-long love affair was born.
Living Life By: Scott F Paradis | - Who am I? Why am I here? Basic, yet profound, questions. Ones we rarely address as we struggle to earn a living, complete an education, raise a family, survive, succeed. We work to sustain a lifestyle. We devote time and energy to economic pursuits; athletic endeavors; social engagements; entertainment. When do we have time to ponder these questions? What do they matter for living our lives anyway?

The Law Of Attraction Is A Force In Your Life By: Willie Horton | - A great deal has been said and written about the so-called Law of Attraction'.

Do You Buy Into Labels? By: Susan Russo | - "Once you label me you negate me." -Soren Kierkegaard
When you were growing up do you remember the labels people would put on you or other kids? Even teachers and parents would label kids and typically those labels stuck like glue throughout their lives.
I'm sure you've seen small children hide their face when you say "hi" to them. I cringe every time I hear a parent say, "Oh he/she's shy," as if the kid is shy and deaf too!
Your Success Depends On Your Intentions By: Willie Horton | - Are your intentions honourable?! An age-old question asked by prospective fathers-in-law - and one that is at the very centre of whether or not you can achieve the success that you want out of life. In terms of aiming for success, we need to know what we intend to get. Truth is, most people have no idea what will give them peace of mind, contentment and happiness.

What Do You Want Out Of Life? By: Willie Horton | - Is it possible that your life is not the joyful, effortless, successful, happy and carefree promenade that your heart desires because, in fact, you haven't really got the first clue what your heart truly desires at all? I've been working with personal development or self improvement clients since the beginning of 1996. In my experience, almost nobody has ever given any thought to what they actually want out of life. Few have stopped to reflect on what their priorities are in life and for the ... Tags:Personal Development, Success, Self Improvement, Personal Growth, Goal Setting, Happiness, Life Lessons
Your Life Is Your Choice By: Willie Horton | - I've just been reading, in the New York Times, the full transcript of Tiger Woods' statement at his recent press conference in Florida on the occasion of his public reappearance. In amongst the text, he talks of the therapy that he received during his absence from the public eye and that, although he has taken his "first steps in the right direction", he still has a "long way to go". Working with my clients over the last fourteen years, these are not unfamiliar sentiments to me - it is part ...

How To Get All The Money You Need By: Willie Horton | - Read the title of this article carefully - it doesn't say "all the money you want" - just what you need. The defining line between needs and wants is a little more blurred than you might think because, when I use the word "need" it is used in the context of having everything that you need to live your idea of a perfect life. But this concept, in itself, is also open to misinterpretation because of normal definitions of success - which are generally competitive and comparative. In other words ...

Uncovering Limiting Beliefs...a Work In Progress By: Benni Heacock | - You can have the best parents, the best education, the best life, and like me, a successful career helping other people achieve their best emotional health, and still have a limiting belief "pop-up" and blindside you when you least expect it.
When my youngest daughter was a junior in high school, I walked in my bathroom where she was soaking in the Jacuzzi. She had one leg propped up on the side of the tub. When I looked over I noticed a colorful globe of the world on her ankle. ... Tags:limiting beliefs, life lessons, personal growth, awareness, consciousness, law of attraction

Life Lessons From The Lands Down Under By: Denise Ryan | - A few years ago I spent November (yep, the entire month) in Australia and New Zealand. It was the trip of a lifetime, and like all great journeys, it taught me many things.
Lesson One—turn pain into gain. I'd been talking about going to Australia forever, but kept putting it off. It was so far, so expensive, etc. But about a year ago, I had what I thought was a good relationship go up in flames. There I was, having a pity party—bummed about being 41 and single, wa ...

In Sickness And In Health By: Herb Palmer Jr | - I was thinking about the statement " In Sickness and In Health" last week driving back from a children's hospital in new jersey. I had just finished my third intuitive healing session with a beautiful twelve year old girl called Angel.

I see and feel whats happening with the person on several different levels. The mind, body, and s ... Tags:crones disease, health, healing, energy healing, reiki, life lessons, spirit, sickness
Life Lessons From Death By: 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.

We are each the sum total of the choices we have made to date. If we want a new reality, we have to make new choices. After all, the very definition of insanity is to do the same thing always and expect a different result. When we change our actions, we change our results. A perfect case in point is my Godmother, famed Hollywood costumer Edith Head. At age thirty she was teaching French to an all girls school in ... Tags:life lessons
In order to lead an original and unique life, we do have to think outside of the box and create our own rules and guidelines for accomplishment. The best among us always have done so. It is our privilege to observe and learn from the lessons these pioneers can teach us.

I know most of us are taught that we can't have it all, we are told life isn't fair and it is about sacrifice and giving up to keep going. Not true we can have it all, once we establish what our own personal all is. Most of us don't really enjoy being pulled in multiple directions at once and multitasking ourselves into the ground, instead if we follow a simple rule of thumb about focus and choose only three major life priorities, at any given time, ...

In the meantime, I was launching my own design practice six months earlier than planned. I had to put some pieces inherited from Mother up for auction to gain some working capital and pay down debt. I like to think of it as she was there to help, but it was tough because they were pieces I had grown up with.
This vision was short lived. I moved home and after two weeks of working a retail, full-time job, I came home and declared I wanted to go to college. I found I wasn't quite ready for the realities of a real job! Of course, I was paying rent, as the deal Mother made was that, if we moved home after college, it was no free ride. And college was a partial gift of my grandparents; the rest was banquet waitressing. I finished ou ... Tags:life lessons, self-improvement, motivation
It should have been easy. Shoulda, woulda, coulda -- those words had been the essence of my life and so many other people's lives, too. Now I've learned that life really isn't about those words at all, and it isn't about easy. Instead, each of our lives is about will and won't and do and don't, and the rewards that come from taking charge of our lives.
