To be positive does not mean hiding the head in the sand and pretending that all is well when it’s not. If your shirt is on fire, it needs to be attended to. If you’re living off your credit cards, you are not in the land of plenty even if you’ve read The Secret and [...]

Life never stands still. It is either on the upward trajectory of growth or on the declining path of impending extinction. As humans, it leaves us with two options; we can let nature and outside circumstances follow their natural course or we can pursue the quest for personal growth and self-actualization.
We are never too old [...]

One of the most widely accepted misconception about people is that we are creature of logic. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Dale Carnegie said it best when he said, “When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bustling [...]

Most people who are in Personal Development set goals and objectives. That is highly commendable. That’s part of Personal Development 101.

Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer, ended his commencement speech to the graduates of Stanford University in 2005 with the following words, “Stay hungry.

Reading a Personal Development book and doing it in a way that will contribute to our life is not an easy task. It requires time, effort and dedication. We don’t read such a book to see what’s in it. We read it in an effort to change who we are, change the distinctions that we [...]

I have read more than my share of Success Gurus’ works and for the better part, they have failed in their mission of telling us how to succeed financially.
I believe that they failed because they simply forgot their own debut. If you are communicating with someone who’s in debt or dirt poor, don’t teach [...]

It would not be an overstatement to say that stress is today’s public enemy number one. This is what leaders in stress research have to say, “Stress reaction is predicted to be the leading occupational disease of the 21st century, responsible for more days lost than any other single factor.”

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 [...]
