There is a little guy hiding inside our brain that watches and evaluate everything that we do.

“Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.” – Jim Rohn

“One of the strongest forces in the human organism is the need for consistency.” – Anthony Robbins
We need consistency to establish some certainty and order in our world. What we don’t need is rigid consistency where everything becomes so familiar and so automatic that we go through life half asleep, half hypnotized and simply reacting [...]

Personal Power has been defined as the ability to take action. On the other hand, it is a well-known fact that the worst stumbling block on the way to success and personal accomplishment is the inability to take action.

Scientific studies have found that, contrary to popular beliefs, innate abilities are not the major factor in achieving excellence in any sphere of endeavor. We are not born with predispositions to excel in particular skills; those are learned.
Even in the cases of child prodigies, studies have found that the predominant factor behind their exceptional skill [...]

To succeed in any field of endeavor we must communicate. That’s how we get our message across and influence people. It’s how we get people to buy our product, accept our ideas or come to accept our way of thinking. It’s how we get the things that we want out of life.
Communications are not [...]

There are two completely opposite basic human needs. One of those is the need for certainty and the other one is the need for uncertainty. We need a certain degree of certainty to be able to function normally and we need some uncertainty to break up the monotony. If we had complete certainty, life would [...]

One of the basic and fundamental human needs is the need for significance. We need to feel that we are important, that we matter. For many of us, significance may be our most important need. It may be even more than that. It may be the prime motivation for most of our decisions, actions and [...]

With enough motivation, anything is possible. Without it, everything is an uphill battle. When the going is good, being motivated is easy; when the going gets rough, that’s another story. However, motivation under rough conditions is what is needed the most. That’s when a man’s true colors shine through.
Motivation under pressure is a question [...]

The quote, “You never really know what you are capable of, until you go out and try.” has been attributed to the award winning actress Sarah Michelle Gellar but is has to be one of the most overused cliché on Planet Earth. So overused in fact that it no longer means anything. That’s a tragedy. [...]

Having a healthy self-esteem is probably the greatest asset that we could ever have. No more hurt from disparaging remarks; self-confidence galore and the ability to meet anyone on even ground.

Mark Twain said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
The story of evolution is a tale of [...]
