  • Discover The Two Kinds Of Faith  By :
    There are two kinds of faith that exist. The first kind of faith is what I call ‘real’ faith. It is the explosion of something in the mind that says ‘Yes, I believe that’. It is a discovery or a revelation. It starts in the mind. It is actually the mind saying to itself ‘I know that is true’. In fact what the mind is saying is “I believe that is true’. But the mind doesn’t really know the difference. To our minds, really believing something is really knowing something.

  • Unlocking Your Success: Finding Your Passion  By : Amy Potavin
    I bet that you can't tell me that Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote, “The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.” That statement is very true, for there has never, in the history of humanity, been any discovery, innovation, or creation that was not first a spark of passion, curiosity, or devotion. Truly, the manifestation and realization of such discoveries, creations, and innovations is nothing more than the mastery of th...

  • Weight Loss Motivation  By : Martin Stanwyck
    It takes motivation to lose weight. Since willpower can’t be bottled and sold, is there something a person can do to boost their own self determination?

    Here’s the scenario: you have two athletes poised at the starting line for a race. Both have trained equal amounts of time and both were born with the same amount of athletic ability. So, who will win the race? Psychologist may answer with this, “the one who wants it most.” In the end, it all boils down to drive and determ...

  • Confidence Is Key To Lasting Influence  By : Kurt Mortensen
    When you’ve gained someone’s trust, you’ve also gained his or her confidence – another key to lasting influence. Dwight D. Eisenhower once stated, “In order to be a leader, a man must have followers. And to have followers, a man must have their confidence.” I love the story about how John D. Rockefeller dealt with his creditors. When a creditor came knowing on John’s door, hoping to have his bill paid, Rockefeller would reach for his checkbook with gusto and ask, “Which would...

    The Foundation of Teambuilding

    The truth is, there is no one perfect answer. Moreover, what works at one time will not always work at another. There are team dynamics that you must always be in tune with. For example, suppose you offer a trip to Hawaii fo...
  • Why You Should Laugh More  By : Deanna Mascle -
    I have long been a fan of the Reader's Digest "Laughter, the Best Medicine" column and often suspected that laughter was good for me. After all, I was raised on the mantra "the family that laughs together, stays together" and my family possesses a long list of "in" jokes that require nothing more than a catch phrase to crack up the whole clan.

    However, now my suspicion that laughter is good for me can actually be backed up by scientific evidence.

    Humor can improve memor...
  • Live Every Day As If It Were Your Last  By : Deanna Mascle -
    Do you know how long you will live? Most of us do not. We can hazard a guess or a wish, but unless we are staring death in the face then we do not know. While I often urge my readers to live their lives fully and joyfully, recent events here in the bluegrass have made me even more aware of the need to live my life as if each day was my last.

    I live a few miles east of Lexington, Kentucky, where on Sunday Comair Flight 5191 taking off from Bluegrass Airport with 50 people o...
  • Motivate  By : Kadence Buchanan
    Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. When you are the boss of others, the temptation to use your power to control them is always there. However, if you start using this power too much it can bring disorder to your office environment.

    Think of how you would feel if you had a boss always driving you around. Would you like to work for someone like that? If your hard work was never appreciated, would your motivation last? Definitely not! Therefore it ...
  • Motivation Made Simple  By : Wally Bock
    If you're a manager then you've been told at least once that you have to "motivate your people." But how do you do that? Here's what you can do to get the job done.

    Change your mindset. Forget about "motivating" people. You can't see motivation. Motivation is inside another person's head and heart. You can't touch it. You can't measure it. And, therefore you can't manage it.

    Think about managing the things you can see and measure. Start concentrating on behavior and per...
