Give Yourself a Mental & Emotional Boost

Sometimes, people aren’t short of goals but they are short of reasons why they want to achieve their goals. And one of the reasons why some people do not get what they want, even when they decided to get it, is simply because they have little or no reasons why they want to do, have, achieve and become what they want. As a result, the desire to get what they want is weak; they lack incentive for effort and, therefore, make none. It is noteworthy that failure to follow desire to do what you want to do paves the way to mediocrity. On the contrary, he who deeply desires anything loves the effort which he must exert to obtain his desire, and will gain the knowledge which he needs for achievement and the power to express that knowledge. “Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.”   - Napoleon Hill To solve this problem, write down all the reasons why you want to do, have, achieve, buy, and become...

How to Overcome Discouragement

Everyone gets discouraged at some point or another in their lives and when this happens, our attitudes and emotions become more negative. There are three levels of discouragement:  • The first level is mild discouragement, when only our emotions are affected. • The second level is stronger discouragement when your spirit is affected. At this point other people begin to notice that something is wrong, that you are not yourself. Your friends, spouse, classmates, co-workers, or other people at your church see that something is wrong.  • The third level is disabling discouragement, and it is the worst kind of discouragement. If a person attains this level of discouragement, it becomes difficult for them to handle the normal responsibilities of life. As a result, they try to deal with their discouragement by sleeping, drinking, or drug abuse. The problem is that we often waste time and energy blaming why we are in a situation and how “we don’t deserve this”. Instead of making ...

Capture and Replace Every Negative Thought in Your Mind Immediately

According to medical science, 87 to 95 percent of current physical and emotional illnesses come from our thought life. Thoughts repeatedly sown will be reaped in physical manifestation and what we think will determine how we function spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. The problem is that you may have random nagging thoughts that are not exactly worries but irritating thoughts. As a result, they distract you from focusing on the task at hand. If you don't deal with these thoughts (by capturing and replacing them) they could throw your brain into a frenzy of broken feedback loops, disrupting the natural flow and balance of chemicals in your brain and body. This in turn will affect your emotional and physical state. To solve this problem, capture each negative thought that comes to your mind the moment you notice random thoughts, nagging at you while you are working on your objectives, by writing them down on paper. As you write these thoughts on paper, don't wo...

You Can Overcome the Obstacles You Face

Anyone who has already accomplished what you want to accomplish had to surmount their own obstacles. That which they become they first desired to become. They thought out, and planned every step upward to their own high mountain top. And it is noteworthy that he who deeply desires anything loves the effort which he must exert to obtain his desire, but he whose desire is weak lacks incentive for effort and, therefore, makes none. “We are built to conquer environment, solve problems, achieve goals, and we find no real satisfaction or happiness in life without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve.” -- Maxwell Maltz  The problem could be that you have not clearly identified all those things preventing you from reaching your goal. Because the problem has never been clearly defined it becomes more difficult to solve it. You have to diagnose before you can prescribe so to speak. If you went to see your doctor for a health problem and he started prescribing a drug for you before ma...
