Building Self-confidence and Self-esteem

There is a little guy hiding inside our brain that watches and evaluate everything that we do. That little fellow is in charge of setting the mark that will determine our level of self-confidence and self-esteem. Sigmund Freud gave the little guy a name. He called him the Super-ego. That’s his real name, however we [...]

Is Life Easier for Self-improvement Aficionados?

Let’s put it this way, life will never be as great as your favorite guru would like you to believe but, if you put enough work on improving yourself, you will see a major change.

The Worst Obstacles to Self-growth

“As long as you believe something, your brain operates on automatic pilot, filtering any input from the environment and searching for references to validate your belief, regardless of what is it.” – Anthony Robbins
The human mind is funny. Once it has accepted a belief, it will hold onto it even in the face of undisputable [...]

The Highway to Personal Growth

If it matters, put it down on paper…
The best way to grow is by translating our thoughts into written the words. We tend to think in wordless notions, abstract concepts and images. Most of our thoughts are vague and ephemeral. If a conscious effort is not made to put some order in our thinking pattern, [...]

Use It or Lose It – Man’s Search for Meaning

At birth we were given a blank book in which we get to write our life’s story. We are the authors of that book and we can make it an epic story or a tale of crushed hopes and frustrations. Whether we like it or not, we will write that book. Every page represents a [...]

How to get in the Flow

The state of flow is that state where a person can do no wrong and almost everything is accomplished almost effortlessly. Everything just seems to turn out just perfectly.

Self-sabotage – Why we Do it and How to Avoid it

Sometimes we are our own worse enemy. We start something and then sabotage it. At the time, it seems as it had been some silly mistake or oversight that had done the damage, but, in retrospect we see that the sabotage almost seem to have been intentional.
There are two main reasons why we will [...]

The power of the state of mind

How well or how badly we perform at any given moment depends mostly on the state of mind we were in at the time. Understanding that premise and understanding it well could be one of the most powerful lesson that we’ll ever learn in our lifetime.
Have you ever said anything, or come up with an [...]

Being productive

While I was active on the Anthony Robbins Web Community Forums I was always amazed at seeing comments from some of the members complaining that Robbins was not spending time on his own site. After ten years, Tony had a grand total of two posts and he probably did not even write those himself.

The benefits of writing

Writing is contagious. The more we write, the more we feel like writing. The question then becomes, “Why is that?”
First and foremost, writing is a wonderful way of expressing ourselves. There is no “pacing” as we see in conversation. That is, we can stop in mid-sentence and evaluate where we are going with our train [...]

Charisma and the sense of mission

Almost without fail, people on a mission are seen as charismatic. So, the question that begs to be asked is, which came first, the charisma or the mission.
Charisma is a very elusive trait. It can be found in the most diverse characteristic qualities but it is not attached to anyone of those qualities.

The key to super-achieving and greatness

Barack Obama said, “Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.”
When we read the biographies of great men and women we find that they [...]

The concept of justice

Justice is a man made concept. It does not exists in nature. Man created justice in an effort to establish harmony in society. Throughout the years, rules and regulations were written into laws by which citizens are expected to live by. These laws are the basis of our judicial system.
Laws, rules and regulations are so [...]

Real life versus sports

The greatest success guru is the “world of sports.” The rules that applies to success in sports are the same that will determine success in the business or professional world.
Most people who have made it financially see the professional life as a game. They are out there to play hard and win and they know [...]

Reading Motivational Books

My advice to you on reading motivational books would be, don’t read them. You don’t read a motivational book, you study it. Motivational book have to be studied thoroughly if you hope to get anything out of them.
You are better off reading one motivational book twenty five times rather than reading twenty five books one [...]

Wall Street Warrior

If we want to be honest about it, we have to admit that reaching for the higher echelons of personal income is not easy. In fact it could easily be called warfare. I have never heard of anyone making it to the top, or even making it above average, without some serious struggle. Thus the [...]
