http://www.free-articles-zone.com Morenos en 01/12/2009 What you invest your energy thinking about, looking at and focusing on will multiply itself in your Life.  What does this mean to you? http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=492 2005-08-19 It’s been said that fully 85% of your success in life is directly related to your ability to effectively work with people.  So I wanted to pass on a little tip that will make all your dealings with clients or co-workers much more effective. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=491 2005-08-19 In the coaching relationships I have with our clients, the major problem I see is that individuals end up in the same place - over and over and over again. They quit one job only to end up doing the exact same job with the exact same pay for a different company. They end a relationship and then start dating the same person with a different name.  Sound familiar?  Everyone has patterns and they are determined by what we refer to as the “default setting”.  http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=490 2005-08-19 The very first "motivational speaker" I heard as an adult was a gentleman named Mort Utley. I was absolutely coming out of my skin with an indescribable combination of intense excitement and great fear.  Mort Utley's speech made one of the most "un-motivational" statements I had ever heard.  He said: "Most people do not get what they want out of Life." http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=493 2005-08-19 I recently was made aware of two comparative statistics that I thought you might find extremely valuable.  I learned that the average American reads less than 2 books per year- one and a half to be exact, with almost two thirds of those going unfinished.  On the whole, Americans have lost the habit of reading good books. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=494 2005-08-19 To make a muscle grow, you must TRAIN that muscle - work it and tax it beyond what it's ever done before, and then you must FEED that muscle with the right balance of nutrients so it can recover and grow.  In fact, muscles don't grow while you're working out.  They grow as a RESULT of your workout, but the growth actually happens while you are resting.  I'll suggest that your mind and your life are exactly the same. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=475 2005-08-18 There are two questions, if you get in the habit of asking yourself and then give yourself an honest answer that can immediately help you become more effective. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=476 2005-08-18 I thought it might be helpful to make you aware of four barriers that must be overcome to experience any kind of real growth.  These are barriers that nearly everyone has naturally, and it takes conscious decision and effort to remove or compensate for them. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=477 2005-08-18 While I am a strong proponent of both learning from past experiences and of setting effective goals for the future, I encourage people to be cautious of losing the power of the moment they are in. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=478 2005-08-18 I've found that successful and joyous people are usually very skilled at counting their blessings.  They focus on what's right about their life instead of what's wrong.  http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=479 2005-08-18 While most people possess the ability to hear, many have never taken the time to consciously develop the ability to listen. Here are four golden nuggets to help you improve your listening skills: http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=480 2005-08-18 The role of our choices is central to how much Freedom we experience.  In fact, we define Freedom as “the capacity to exercise choice”- and when I say exercise, I literally mean exercise like a muscle.  The more you properly exercise a muscle’s capacity to lift a weight, the larger that capacity grows, right?  Same goes for your choices. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=481 2005-08-18 Many great thinkers have said that everything in our life is created twice - once in thought and then once in reality.  I will suggest that the original source of everything great in your life is a dream that you had in the past.  Before goals are set, before action plans are created, before timelines and schedules, there is the moment when your mind is racing in thought and you dream about what could be. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=473 2005-08-17 Proper and efficient study techniques will follow a student through all levels of education and learning. Establishing good habits and skill sets, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem at the time, will prove to reap massive rewards in the long run. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=386 2005-08-11 All the test taking tips in the world won’t help if the student doesn’t study. But the reward of seeing “A’s” and “B’s” on tests shouldn’t only go to students who are “good” at taking tests. It’s normal to get nervous, but as long as you’re prepared, rested, full on a healthy breakfast (but not too full) and confident, the stress will disappear with each answered question. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=387 2005-08-11 Improving your study environment is a seemingly common sense improvement, but is overlooked by many parents. By making this effort you will be setting your student on a track for improved study habits that will stay with them and yield results for years to come. http://www.free-articles-zone.com/article.php?id=388 2005-08-11
