The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.</span><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /> Hindu Proverb</span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">You may wonder about your purpose. You may feel out of place, disconnected, just a bit out of sync. You may want to find clarity; to find the stillness in your mind. That elusive quality where time loses all meaning. You may not even know what it is that you seek but you sit there in your skin and you know something is making you uncomfortable.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:12pt;">That it's okay. It's not unusual or abnormal. <strong>The bigger questions of life and the role you want to play in that are great questions! Important questions!</strong> To not ask them and seek your own answers would resign you to an existence of numbness and one day, possibly regret. But it doesn't have to be that way. <strong>It's never too late and there is no deadline.</strong></span> <br /><br /><span style="font-size:12pt;">The journey itself can be a tremendous reward. And don't be fooled! The pursuit of worthy goals and self-discovery is not easy. There will be plenty of tough times, inner soul searching, periods of enormous movement and change, periods of stagnation and possibly even despair. There will be times when you think you have found that groove you've always been looking for and then there will be times when you feel as though you haven't a hope in the world of finding your place. This is normal.</span> <br /><br /><span style="font-size:12pt;">Everyone who experiences life will encounter variations of questions pertaining to their values that will challenge them at crossroads in life. Sometimes we heed these inner callings but often times, external forces to our sense of security in the world will push these inner callings deep into the mud. Instead we are fearful of change or to focused on the negatives or "what if" scenarios. So we play it safe and ignore our inner callings.</span> <br /><br /><span style="font-size:12pt;">We're all looking for "that career" that will reward us in the way we need to be rewarded. For some it may be money. For others it may be prestige, recognition and yet someone else it is just the fact they get to "do what they love doing." Everyone will have a unique journey to reach their discovery. The journey will be made intentionally or unintentionally. It will be confused and painful or it can be enlightened by your own self-awareness. Don't get so focused on the goal that you don't get the full experience of the journey. The journey is so critical.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:12pt;">During the journey your experiences will offer you with so many valuable clues about yourself. Who you are. What makes you thrive. What puts you to sleep. The kind of people you like to work with. The environments you prefer. All of these experiences and many many more specific pieces relevant to you, your profession, passion, skills, and personality. All of them can be incorporated into your goal.</span> <br /><br /><span style="font-size:12pt;">You, your life, your values, and beliefs, and many other things, will change. So <strong>keep dreaming, keep looking at the goal.</strong> But do so with the knowledge and understanding of your journey. Implement adjustments to your navigation system towards your goal if it changes. The experiences of your life and the decisions and their consequences will teach you so much. Allow yourself to take that journey, without knowing when it will end nor where it will take you. Get comfortable with not knowing. Keep seeking. Don't be afraid to take that next step. This is the very thing I too have to challenge myself on every day.</span></p><p style="text-align:center;">------------------------------------------------------------------</p><h2 style="text-align:center;"><a title="unlimited autoresponder" href="http://www.i-autoresponder.com" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><img src="http://www.e-bestsellers.com/Banners/1.gif" alt="cheap autoresponder" height="66" width="533" /></span></a></h2><p style="text-align:center;"><br /><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;"><a href="http://www.aBacklink.com" target="_blank">www.aBacklink.com</a> - AUTO MASS Traffic Generator</span></strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="background-color:#ffff99;"><a href="http://www.wBacklink.com">www.wBacklink.com</a></span> - BEST SEO Website Backlink Software</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="background-color:#00ffff;"><a style="background-color:#00ffff;" href="http://www.i-AutoResponder.com" target="_blank">www.i-AutoResponder.com</a></span> - UNLIMITED AutoResponder For Life!</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="background-color:#ffcc99;"><a style="background-color:#ffcc99;" href="http://www.FaceBook10.com" target="_blank">www.FaceBook10.com</a></span> - ALL in ONE FaceBook Blaster Software</span></strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="background-color:#ccffcc;"><a style="background-color:#ccffcc;" title="FREE Master Resell Rights Download" href="http://www.e-Bestsellers.com" target="_blank">www.e-Bestsellers.com</a></span> - FREE Master Resell Rights Download<br /><span style="background-color:#ff0000;color:#ffff00;"><a style="background-color:#ff0000;color:#ffff00;" title="FREE MRR/PLR Membership Website" href="http://www.i-Bestseller.com" target="_blank">www.i-Bestseller.com</a></span> - FREE MRR/PLR Membership Website</span></strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;color:#000000;"><span style="background-color:#008000;color:#ffff00;"><a style="background-color:#008000;color:#ffff00;" href="http://www.SafeList.me">www.SafeList.me</a></span> - Best FREE Safelist Mailer</span></strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:#000000;">--------------------------------------------------------------------</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">**********************</span></p><h3><span style="font-size:12pt;">Always Do Good</span></h3><p><span style="font-size:12pt;">Remember to always do good in business.

You have to do more than just name your site and hope that people will show up. You have to let the entire internet community know that you are out there. In addition, you have to buy and register a <span>domain name</span> and then put that <span>domain</span> on the Web. With your own <span>domain name</span>, you will have your own static IP number.

At first I was not sure if I should veer from Psychology, but it's becoming evident to me that I'm going in the right direction for my self.</p><p><strong>I finished my first class that was an introduction to and history of human services in the USA</strong>. My new class is Human Systems and Development. These two dynamics occur during a lifespan and are limited by each other. A weak Human System (usually family) can be prohibitive to healthy development in a child. Delayed development puts stress on the family system. There is no vacuum. They are interconnected.</p><p><strong>I used to think that my calling was to be a psychologist</strong>. But, now that I have a foothold on my personal development, I am seeing the limitations of psychology. For me, I see Social Work making more of an impact on people's lives, as well as their family and work systems.</p><p><strong>What good is it for me to help someone become regulated when the rest of their life is chaos?</strong> At some point, a person would become burned out in that situation. With the whole situation perspective, I could help people work on themselves while I work to also improve their environment.</p><p><strong>In a family the children are only as healthy as the weakest parent.</strong> Part of that is due to co-dependent dynamics. But, it makes general sense. That's when I realized that I am supposed to be an expert supporter of my husband rather than obsess over my children.</p><p><strong>By better supporting my husband, I've noticed that my kids are getting stronger.</strong> Rebellion is just a stage. It's parents paying their dues before the children decide to dole out a lifelong flood of respect and deference.</p><p><strong>To aid the child is just a temporary solution. To aid the parent is to give long-term support</strong> to the child within the context of the family system. Believe that parents would do better if they knew how or had the support to do so. There is little point in helping children and leaving them with a messed up picture of parenting. By supporting the parents, the children can have a revised, healthier view of parenting and family life.</p><p><strong>I've been so blessed lately.</strong> I'm finally seeing the fruits of truly (imperfectly) loving my husband. We are able to disagree and not have a ugly fight. We're able to honor each others perspective and grow our trust for each other. It's a self-feeding cycle. The more we go through hard conversations in a healthy way we grow in trust and acceptance for our unique qualities.

When we understand the power of commitment, we realize that it is impossible to achieve success in life or attain our goals without it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.paradoxcash.com/videosalespage.php?id=31088" target="_blank"><strong>Commitment</strong></a> is much more than a mental exercise; it is a personal quality, “a trait of sincere and steadfast fixity of purpose.” When it is combined with a precise proclamation of intention, commitment can produce a sense of meaningful purpose in our lives. “If you deny yourself commitment, what can you do with your life?” Harvey Fierstein.</p> <p><strong>The Influence of Commitment</strong></p> <p>Commitments are powerful because they control how we think, how we sound and how we act. When we make a commitment, we try harder; we look for solutions when obstacles arise. We do not consider quitting as an option, and we do not look back.</p> <p>A real<em> commitment</em> gives us a script for how we deal with things when times get tough. Therefore, it is important to anticipate the temptations to give up and promise ourselves that the feeling of wanting to quit will not overpower our commitments. “Once you have commitment, you need the discipline and hard work to get you there.” Haile Gebrselassie.</p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.njmarketingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/environmental_commitment_ssk_16585330.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-545 alignleft" alt="environmental_commitment_ssk_16585330" src="http://www.njmarketingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/environmental_commitment_ssk_16585330-300x198.jpg" width="300" height="198" /></a>How to Fulfill Our Commitment</strong></p> <p>In the quest to fulfill our commitments, we have to avoid over committing ourselves. We must select to what and whom we commit. Because of the limitations of our time and attention, it is not possible to do everything we would like. Consequently, we must decide what is of paramount importance to us and commit only to those things.</p> <p>In addition, we need to know the resources that are available to help us to achieve our goals whether they are human or material resources. When we make a commitment, we accept no excuses, only results. We make commitment to what we do, whether it is in our personal or professional lives, because it is one of the most fundamental principles of success. “There’s no abiding success without commitment.” Tony Robbins</p> <p><strong>How to Manage Commitment</strong></p> <p>It is important to manage our commitments because they are something that we must deal with or do that takes our time. Therefore, it is necessary to take the time to ask ourselves, “What do I really want to do?” Alternatively, “What am I passionate about?” We must create goals with checkpoints to achieve success.</p> <p>Goal setting will help to keep us focused. It also requires a lot of thought and planning. Consequently, each goal we set towards our commitments will serve as a remainder and motivation to do what is necessary to keep us committed. “Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes… but no plan.” Peter Drucker.</p> <p>“<em>Commitment</em> is an act, not a word.” Jean-Paul Sartre. Personal commitments are the most important because they stem from within. They involve the investment of time and energy towards something we want to pursue. The accomplishment of our commitment is most successful when backed by passion and inspiration. “You need to make a <em><a href="http://www.njmarketingsolution.com" target="_blank">commitment</a>,</em> and once you make it, then life will give you some answers.” Les Brown.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.njmarketingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/cropped-111379_normal.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-367" alt="cropped-111379_normal.jpg" src="http://www.njmarketingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/cropped-111379_normal.jpg" width="200" height="200" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.njmarketingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/http-signatures.mylivesignature.com-54492-66-729A776FF504ADB246B14AC607455164.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-594" alt="http---signatures.mylivesignature.com-54492-66-729A776FF504ADB246B14AC607455164" src="http://www.njmarketingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/http-signatures.mylivesignature.com-54492-66-729A776FF504ADB246B14AC607455164-300x88.png" width="300" height="88" /></a></p></div>Why Don't You Fill Your Tank?https://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/why-don-t-you-fill-your-tank2014-02-14T01:30:00.000Z2014-02-14T01:30:00.000ZStephen Edgecombehttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/StephenEdgecombe<div><p></p> <p> <a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3818723268,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}3818723268,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="600" class="align-center" height="198" alt="3818723268?profile=original" /></a></p> <p> This morning my <span style="font-size:13px;">wife and I were relaxing and planning for our Valentine Date Night tomorrow . As we talked, laughed and planned, it occurred to me that we are learning to appreciate, respect and love each other more deeply. We are learning to recognize and speak what Dr. Gary Chapman, a Christian counselor and author of The Five Love Language, identified as "the love language " of each other.</span></p> <p></p> <div> <p>Dr. Chapman notes that when we discover and communicate with our spouse in his/her love language, we fil<span style="font-size:13px;">l up their emotional tank. This leads to mutual respect and a meaningful love relationship. Dr. Chapman has identified five emotional love languages. Here is a sampling:</span></p> <p></p> </div> <div> <p>1. Words of Affirmation - This is when we compliment our spouse on his/her looks, activity or achievement . These words edifying our mate and build self-image, worth and confidence.</p> <p></p> </div> <div> <p>2. Quality Time - Some spouses may not need words of affirmation; but see love displayed by spending time together and doing things together with undivided attention. (Secret: This is my wife's main language)</p> <p></p> </div> <div> <p>3. Gifts - Gary notes that gift giving is a universal in all human cultures and need not be expensive or el<span style="font-size:13px;">aborate to send a powerful message of love ,For some spouses gifts is their chief love language. When we forget and miss important gift giving opportunities such as birthday, anniversary, or graduation, such a spouse feel neglected, unappreciated and unloved. </span></p> <p></p> </div> <div> <p>Find out the <a href="http://www.focusonthefamily.com/marriage/communication_and_conflict/learn-to-speak-your-spouses-love-language/understanding-the-five-love-languages.aspx">other two here. </a></p> <p></p> </div> <div> <p>It is essential that eac<span style="font-size:13px;">h of us determine our own love language as well as our spouse. Of course, speaking another person's language is not always easy. Dr Chapman notes, "We're not talking comfort. We are talking love. Love is something we do for someone else. So often couples love one another but they aren 't connecting. They are sincere, but sincerity isn't enough." It requires commitment, sacrifice and hard work.</span></p> <p></p> </div> <div> <p>When spouses fail to connect and speak each others love language, the love tank gets empty. Hence, Dr. Chapman suggests that every couple have a "love tank check " three times each week, asking one another, "How is your love tank tonight?" If the tank is low find out how you can fill it and fill it!! Speak the appropriate love language. It could save your home, family and business!</p> <p></p> </div> <div> <p>**************************************************</p> <p></p> </div> <div> <p>It's difficult to fill your love tank if you are always tired, run down and fatigued.

Upon receiving news that his father had just passed away, he rushed home. He said that the only decent thing that he had to wear to his father’s funeral was his dress blues, yet he needed a haircut as well.</p><p></p><p>Christopher needed a haircut and wanted to get a haircut before he boarded the plane, so he went to this barbershop in Mokapu Mall which was crowded.

And not only that, she also gave him money which the other barbers in the shop had collected while he was getting a haircut and unaware of.

In this blog post I will give MLM Success Tips how to find more time to build your business.</p><p><strong>What Do Some Network Marketers Say About Time</strong></p><p>The most common excuse I hear is that they don't have the time to build their business. I hear some say, <em><strong>"I have 2 jobs", "After I get home I have to work with my children", "I'm a single parent", "I have to get up early for work the next day, so I can't stay up late", "I work 12 hour shifts everyday", etc etc etc.</strong></em> These people feel the <strong>Time is their Enemy, so Is Time Your Enemy? </strong></p><p>Let me give you an example, most home based business owners say they don't have the time but when they really want to buy something they <strong>FIND the TIME.</strong> Let say a person wants to purchase a vehicle <strong>( in most cases purchase something they can't afford )</strong> and from my experience typically I have to wait about 4 hours until I can leave with my car. So while most say they don't have the time to breathe, those same people will find the time to get into debt and waste 4 hours of unproductive time at a dealership. So do you have the time to build your business? Let me show you</p><p><strong>In The Morning</strong></p><p>While most people that are struggling to find the time to build their business while they are new, <strong>what are you doing on the way to work?</strong> Most people are listening to the Negative News or Music that doesn't make a difference in your life or that day. The typical commute for most employees into work are from 20-45 minutes. Why not use that time to listen to personal development on the way into your J.O.B? In order to build your business successfully you need at least 30 minutes a day of <strong>personal development</strong>. If you don't have any <strong>personal development</strong> to listen to in the morning or anytime, you should get this information from the Absolute Best in the industry. You can grab this information from this source <a href="http://georgelugojr.teamquanta.com" target="_blank"><span><strong>Click Here</strong></span></a></p><p><strong>While You Are At Lunch Break</strong></p><p>Most people take this time to eat either a big lunch, walk to a local mall to get food, watch YouTube video's or music, talk to co-workers about negative things, etc. Why not take the time while you are at lunch break and call some prospects to introduce them them to your business? Instead of kicking back and eating a 12" hero, potato chips and a soda, cut it back to a 6" hero and water so that you can get an<strong> extra 10-15 minutes to call prospects.</strong></p><p><strong>What To Do On Your Way Home Or To A Second Job</strong></p><p>Most people commute time from to their J.O.B. to their home or second J.O.B. is usually from 45-60 minutes. What most will do<a href="http://georgelugojr.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/business-women-bluetooth.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2565" alt="business women bluetooth" src="http://georgelugojr.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/business-women-bluetooth.jpg" width="275" height="183" /></a> again is listen to the negative news or music. Why not use that time to call your Mentor an some prospects about your business? <strong>Let your Bluetooth become your best friend because it will save you TIME!</strong> Instead of waiting until you get home and it will be too late to call your prospects, call them while you are on your way home or going to your second J.O.B.</p><p><strong>What To Do Before Going To Bed</strong></p><p>Most people turn on the Automatic Income Reducer ( T.V.) and waste a good 30 minutes watching the late night show. <strong>Did that show bring you Value?</strong> If not use that time to send messages to potential prospects, read a <strong>personal development book</strong> for 15 minutes before bed. You can listen to personal development training before bed.

Do you want to know how you can maintain and add to your value during these rapidly changing times? Are you wondering how the word love can even be used in the context of business?These are the questions answered by Tim Saunders is his paperback book: Love Is the Killer App . Tim Sanders, director of Yahoo's in-house think tank, believes love is the crucial element in the search for personal and professional success. He warns against the “kill- or- be-killed mentality” as a means of success. I invite you to read this book and find out how to become a lovecat—a nice, smart person who succeeds in business and in life.According to Saunders you become a lovecat by sharing your intangibles:Your knowledge: everything that comes from all the books that you devour and all the skills you acquired. He encourages readers to religiously carve out time to read and become proficient in their field. In other words, become a walking encyclopedia that can provide insights at a moment’s notice to those in need.Your network: the collection of friends and contacts you now have, which enable you to grow and nurture. Indeed, true networking is more about finding ways to give rather than to receive. ( Umm, did I read that concept somewhere in an ancient text? And one of the best things you can give to another person might be an introduction to someone they might especially benefit from meeting.Your compassion: that human warmth you already possess that you can show freely at the office. While we need to be professional, we need to remember that business is human interaction. We should, therefore, be human, showing concern, care, warmth and love to those we interact with.Results:* You become a rich source of information to all around you.* You are seen as a person with valuable insight.* You are perceived as generous to a fault, producing surprise and delight.* You double your business intelligence in one year.* You triple your network of personal relationships in two years.* You quadruple the number of colleagues in your life who love you like family.Saunders concludes, “In short, you become one of those amazing, outstanding people to whom everyone turns, who leads rather than follows, who never runs out of ideas, contacts, or friendship.Here’s the real scoop: Nice guys don’t finish last. They rule!” Proverbs 11:25 puts it succinctly, “Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.”Share your knowledge, build your network and show compassion!

Now there are a lot of entrepreneurs out there that are making a lot of money but they are not delivering Value to the marketplace. They are just working very hard with a big goal and going after it. Although there is nothing wrong with that, there is way more potential in what you can earn when you deliver Value. In this blog post I will share with you the difference between Value and Average.</p><p>When someone talks about you delivering Value, automatically you think you have to become this teacher. Here you are, whether successful in your business or not, you are thinking you have to become this teacher. Someone that has to learn, learn, learn then teach in order to give Value. In fact most people will say, <em><strong>I'm not here to solve other people's problems in business, I'm trying to solve mine.</strong> </em>Now that's OK for those to think that way but it doesn't deliver Value to the marketplace. Later in this article I will give you a few quotes that my mentor Jim Rohn says about this.</p><p>Let me you an example, most people that start as an entrepreneur start Part-Time. They have J.O.B. that they work Full-Time in most cases then build their enterprise Part-Time. And most people that jump into entrepreneurship feel they aren't making enough money in their J.O.B., so they start an enterprise.</p><p>Now most would say that they are not making enough money in their Full-Time job and some even feel that they can't either move up the Ladder or don't see more money coming to them anymore. Some might say, <em><strong>"There is no more room for growth, I'm going to be at this position forever and my pay isn't going to get any better. My cost of living is going up but my paycheck isn't".</strong> </em>The problem that most people have in a J.O.B. is that there are too many people telling you that you CAN'T move up and there are people that are worried that you might take their position. But there are many J.O.B.'s out there that pay very well and the employee's grow within the company.</p><p>So how does an employee get a raise or move up within the company? Good Question. There is only 1 answer, that's VALUE. If an employee starts at $5.00 an hour to take out the trash and that's all they do, the company will continue to pay that person $5.00 per hour. Now if that same person whistles as he/she is taking out the trash, maybe they will make $6.00 per hour. <span><strong>It's all in your attitude</strong></span>. Now you find people that are making $25.00 per hour, $50 per hour, $100 per hour, $150,000 per year all the up to $80,000,000 per year. Why is that? There is only 1 answer, how much Value is that person giving to the company. A person that starts off taking out the trash then to working with customers then to management then to vice president is the person that gave the most Value to the company.</p><p>The same thing works for your network marketing business. Just because you signed up with $500 or FREE doesn't mean you complain why it isn't working for you or why it isn't moving as fast as you want it. If you find ways to deliver Value to the marketplace and work hard at it people will hand you the MONEY. As your Value increases the amount of income increases. Now this doesn't happen overnight, this takes time. But the amount of Value you give out will pay you 10+ times more than if you market your product and/or your service. <span><strong>This doesn't mean NOT to market your business</strong> </span>BUT make sure you are delivering Value and you will have p<a href="http://georgelugojr.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/jim-rohn-quote-3.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2248" alt="jim rohn quote 3" src="http://georgelugojr.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/jim-rohn-quote-3.jpg" width="259" height="225" /></a>eople asking you if they could join you. That is a much better position than the traditional way.</p><p>Jim Rohn said these words, <em><strong>"You don't get paid for time, You get paid for Value. If you were getting paid per hour you could just stay home and get paid hourly, except you get paid by the Value you bring"</strong></em>. Here is another one, <em><strong>"Most people say that the company pays an employee this amount. That's not true, if there is someone in the company making more money than you then the company is paying You that much"</strong></em>. You get paid on the Value you bring. The economy can't change that because there are plenty of people making more than minimum wage. Jim Rohn says, <em><strong>"The wind blows on us all, the wind of opportunity, the wind of change, what determines where you go is the Set Of The Sail"</strong></em>. If you keep delivering Value, you will attract Great People and You will attract a great financial future.</p><p><strong>If this post has brought you Value go ahead and share this with all of your friends.</strong></p><p><a href="http://georgelugojr.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/new-profile-pic.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2074" alt="new profile pic" src="http://georgelugojr.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/new-profile-pic-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a></p><p>George A Lugo Jr</p><p>Internet & Attraction Marketing Coach</p><p>917-603-8344</p><p>Skype: georgelugojr</p><p><strong><a href="http://facebook.com/georgelugojr" target="_blank">Become a Fan on my FanPage</a></strong></p><p><strong>Want to work with me and my team - <a href="http://buildfreedomonce.com" target="_blank">Solavei</a></strong></p><p><strong>P.S.

No business is built overnight and neither will yours.<br /></p><p><a href="http://goo.gl/xrSbX" target="_blank">(Video Here)</a></p><p>People who have practiced having strong spiritual values in their lives are usually the people who have more meaning in their lives, as well as more value in other area’s of life. Even so, when it comes to patience. There’s still a bit of a challenge.</p><p>Patience is often the most confusing of virtues. This is because most people don’t realize that patience is a learned experience! It just doesn’t seem to come naturally for most of us.</p><h3><strong>Three Areas Where Patience Brings Results:</strong></h3><p>1.<strong> Goal setting.</strong><a href="http://ibourl.com/1mc0" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-3242" alt="Have Patience" src="http://www.empowernetwork.com/Avtheway/files/2013/06/goals-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a></p><p>Good personal planning involves no more than determining how you will get from your present circumstances to the future you have created through your dreams and vision.</p><p>Maybe you’ve heard the saying that anything good is worth waiting for. Well not so, there is something you must do. It’s up to you to make them happen. Focus on what you want, then sit down and write out your goals and give yourself a realistic time frame. Be specific.</p><p>Start by setting mini-goals within larger goals so you can get a better visual of your progress. You’ll feel motivated by your accomplishments when you see your plan developing.</p><p>“Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose — a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.”—Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley</p><p>2<strong>. Learn new skills.</strong></p><p>As we tend to grow older, it’s not as easy to learn new skills. It’s easy to become discouraged, and feel like giving up. It’s important to adapt to change and make the necessary changes in order to keep up with the times, whether it be skills or some other necessary personal appearance adaptation.</p><p>People who have been out of the work force for many years are completely out of the technology loop, and it can be challenging to get up to speed.</p><p>An example could be one such as this: Having a broken bone is the best lesson in patience. In this case patience is born out of necessity. You learn how to do everyday tasks in a different way in order to stay mobile.</p><p>Taking up a sport, such as karate or yoga or even dancing, may feel a bit awkward at first, but with continued practice, one day you will begin to feel like a pro. When babies take up walking, it’s a challenge at first, but because they refuse to give up and keep continuing to get up and take a step, shortly they are no longer walking but running.</p><p>3<strong>.Tolerance.</strong></p><p>Many times the act of patience can mean enduring or persevering in a difficult situation. We’ve all had issues with bad drivers or demanding bosses. Someone cutting in front of you in the grocery line. If you were told you would have to go back to dial-up Internet, I’m sure your blood pressure go up. Still, it’s possible to use these challenges as opportunities to grow our patience.</p><p>Impatience can make people lose their temper and say things they really don’t mean. By contrast, patience promotes peace.</p><p>“Better is the end of a thing than its beginning; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.” Ecclesiastes 6:8</p><p>In this age of instant gratification, it is increasingly difficult to accept what is out of our power. Learning patience is therefore, truly an art. But it is an art worth learning for your own health, happiness, and healing.</p><p>To <a href="http://ibourl.com/1p9u" target="_blank">have patience </a>sometimes requires you to pay a big price, but be assured you will receive a good return!</p><p><strong>If you enjoyed this article, “please “Like and Share.”</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>To Your Success,</strong></p><p><strong>Angela Valadez</strong></p></div>Personal Goal Settinghttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/personal-goal-setting2013-05-31T20:50:36.000Z2013-05-31T20:50:36.000ZAngela Valadezhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/AngelaValadez<div><h2><strong>Creating Personal Goal Setting with Clarity and Purpose</strong></h2><p>We have been trained and mentored into the reality that one of the things most critical to our home business success is defining one’s intentions through <a href="http://www.angelatvaladez.net/" target="_blank">personal goal setting</a> which will lead to your desired vision or dream.</p><p><a href="http://ibourl.com/1mc0" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3226" alt="Personal Goal Setting" src="http://www.empowernetwork.com/Avtheway/files/2013/05/goal-setting.jpg" width="240" height="176" /></a></p><p> </p><p>We have been continually reminded to write these personal goals on paper, as well as speak them out loud while giving ourselves a deadline to meet them, so that we can remain focused on our ultimate dreams.</p><p></p><p>Your vision should involve much more than your business opportunity. It must encompass every area of your life. Many of us create visions for ourselves, our businesses, our families, but, we must also include our physical, spiritual, emotional and social lives. This then is a holistic vision.</p><p></p><p><a href="http://goo.gl/3J55g" target="_blank">(Video found here;)</a></p><p></p><p>It is important to keep them your vision in front of you at all times in order to maintain the motivation and determination which is often needed to get us over the rough spots in our businesses.</p><p></p><p><strong>Wallace Wattles, in his 1910 classic, “The Science of Getting Rich,” states:</strong></p><p><strong>“You must form a clear and definite mental picture of what you want. You cannot transmit an idea unless you have it yourself….That clear mental picture you must have continually in mind….The more clear and definite you make your picture then, and the more you dwell upon it, bringing out all its delightful details, the stronger your desire will be.”</strong></p><p></p><p>Because your vision is created in your mind, it is important that when you think about it, you feel deeply about it, then act in harmony with it. This way your vision will guide you.</p><p></p><p>This does not mean that you must spend hours contemplating your ultimate goal? It simply means that you will need to know exactly what it is that you desire and then desire it so badly that it stays in your thoughts.</p><p></p><p><strong>Example:</strong></p><p>My ultimate personal goal is for my husband and I to be able to retire to San Diego, CA. I have a very definite image of what life will be like for us there, and each day I set aside a few minutes to simply close my eyes and dwell on the mental picture of some of the things we’ll be able to enjoy -</p><p>walking along the beach at sunset, feeling the warmth of the sand on my bare feet (I can practically smell the salt air when I do this)<a href="http://ibourl.com/1mc0" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3228" alt="Personal Goal Setting" src="http://www.empowernetwork.com/Avtheway/files/2013/05/couple-on-beach.jpg" width="240" height="158" /></a><br /> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>reconnecting with friends and family and being able to enjoy reunions that I often missed due to living a long distance away, enjoying the palm trees I love so much</p><p></p><p>dining at local restaurants that serve the delicious seafood the area is famous for</p><p></p><p>Carrying this one step further, I've gathered together some pictures, postcards, and other memorabilia that reflect the overall atmosphere of the area. These items hang on my wall in my office, right in front of me, so that I can have a constant reminder of exactly what it is that I am working toward.</p><p></p><p>You’ll be amazed at the effectiveness of these simple techniques!</p><p></p><p>It is indeed possible for you to apply these same techniques regardless of what your goals are. Even if what you’re working for can’t be quite so clearly defined in words and pictures, you can still benefit from these exercises.</p><p></p><p>During those few minutes each day that you set aside to form your mental “picture,” imagine the feelings that you will have when you have reached your own personal goals.</p><p></p><p>You will have to get your brain functioning correctly to do this. Know that your left brain is your logical, decision-making side of your mind, while your right brain is the intuitive, creative side. You will need both sides functioning in union to create your desired intentions.</p><p></p><p>Along with your <a href="http://www.angelatvaladez.net/" target="_blank">personal goal setting</a>, be sure to take the time to create an affirmation statement, using your computer and some attractive stationery to print it out.

Instead of spending money on the painful and expensive surgery, you can age gracefully with some attention to the needs of your body so you can age naturally and beautifully.<br /> <br /> Start using sunblock with SPF everyday to prevent sun damage and skin peeling. Use formulated sunblock for your face that allows you to apply makeup over the lotion. <br /> <br /> Moisturize your skin on daily. The benefits of moisturizers help to hydrate the skin, replenish the skin cells, reduce wrinkles, and create softer skin. There are quality moisturizers on the market that work effectively without the high price associated with many moisturizers. <br /> <br /> Exercise regularly to improve your health. Base your exercise regimen on your health conditions as you may have limitations. Use stretching exercises if you have difficulties with other forms of exercise. Use yoga and Pilates to increase your joint pliability.<br /> <br /> Add meditation, yoga, or another stress relieving exercise to your life. When you learn to relax and reduce the stress in your life, you remove the risks of heart disease and stroke. This increases your chances of living longer. <br /> <br /> Add walking to your exercise program. Walk for thirty minutes four times a week. Buy walking shoes for proper support of your feet and back to lessen the risks of damages and possible injuries. <br /> <br /> Eat a balance low fat low calorie diet filled with nutrients and antioxidants to help your body keep the youthful skin and buoyancy. Eat foods that contain acai and dark green leafy vegetables that aid the body’s natural ability to age gracefully while they help to build your immunity.<br /> <br /> Limit your intake of fats and sugars with your foods and beverages. Drink water to keep your body hydrated. Eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day is the medical recommendation for optimal water intake. Reduce your consumption of coffee with added creams and sugar, sodas, teas with the sugars, and other drinks high in sugar contents.<br /> <br /> One of the best ways to stay looking and feeling young is to take the 90-Day Fitness Challenge at: <a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3818708878,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}3818708878,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="500" class="align-full" alt="3818708878?profile=original" /></a><a href="http://GetEPXBody.com/dustingrant" target="_blank">http://GetEPXBody.com/dustingrant</a><br /> <br /> What i love most about EPX is that we actually pay you to lose weight. On top of all the healthy nutritional products we offer. Like the daily supplement SeaVeg. This 100% vegetable Multi-Nutritional™, dietary food supplement contains the FarmaSea® proprietary blend of 12 whole sea plants.<br /> <br /> <br /> Add a multi-vitamin and supplement to your daily regimen. As you age, your body needs different levels of essential vitamins and minerals. The age appropriate vitamins and supplements will help you have the right amounts daily so you can age gracefully with your healthy body and immune system.<br /> <br /> Visit your physician for a regular checkup. Have your cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugars checked. You doctor will have blood work done to monitor the level of your health and to help prevent any possible medical conditions. Discuss with your doctor any health issues you may be experiencing so they can be treated.<br /> <br /> “If you don’t do what’s best for your body, your the one who comes up on the short end.” Julius Erving<br /></td> </tr></tbody></table></div>Personal Development On your phone !https://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/personal-development-on-your-phone2013-01-30T14:39:34.000Z2013-01-30T14:39:34.000ZMerle Gibbinshttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/MerleGibbins<div><h1 align="center"><a href="http://www.ilivingapp.com/merlegibbins" target="_blank"><strong>Are You Ready For This?
