New Year's Resolutions
January 1st, 2009

Every New Year many of us resolve to make changes in our lives, to set new and important goals. We're inspired by that annual turn of the calendar to wipe the slate clean and to write new scenarios for our lives. It's a logical time for new beginnings, new hopes, and new directions in our lives.

But if you've ever made New Year's resolutions — and I suspect you have — you know how difficult it is to keep them. We begin the month of January with our best intentions supported by genuine enthusiasm and optimism. Then what happens? Sometimes little by little, the will and momentum fades and pretty soon, we realize that our good intentions got lost along the way. That's when we say, "Oh well, there's always next year!"

Or at least that's what happens until we learn the secret to keeping those resolutions, the secret to achieving the goals we make. That secret, quite simply, is assuring that you have sound support for the lasting changes you want to make in your life. And that support is often available all around you: from your spouse, children, friends, co-workers, and anyone and everyone you know who has your best interests at heart. It's up to you to share your goals and enlist the support of those people who can help you.

But, of course, what's most important is what you do to support yourself. You may, for example, resolve to quit smoking, lose weight, get a promotion, or learn a new skill. Whatever your goal, systematically remind yourself of that goal, constantly, throughout every day. Honor that goal by never letting it out of your sight or mind and you will achieve it. Among all of your supporters, make sure that your voice is the loudest and the most enthusiastic, the one that never lets up.

That's the key to successfully following through on resolutions-New Year's or otherwise.
Here at Success.bz, we don't wait for New Year's to make resolutions. We believe every day is the perfect day to make a fresh start, to establish a new goal, and to mark a new beginning. And we're dedicated to giving you the support you need to keep your resolutions.

The Most Important Relationship
July 2nd, 2008

Have you thought much about the most important relationship in your life? Now I’m not talking about the relationship you have with your spouse or significant other or the relationship you have with anyone else that you might be thinking about right now. I’m actually talking about the relationship you have with yourself. It’s easy to overlook the fact the relationship we have with ourselves is the most important relationship in life. Let’s face it, if we can’t get along well with ourselves, we have a pretty big challenge on our hands.

Now I know at the onset of this article that there are those that will take issue with my position that the relationship we have with ourselves is the most important relationship in life. But if you’ll stay with me for a moment, I think I’ll be able to convince you that the starting point for having a great relationship with anyone else, is mastering the relationship you have with yourself. In addition, if you aren’t now making the progress in life that you would like to make and are capable of making, I’d be willing to bet that what we are going to discuss will show you why. So let’s talk about your relationship with you.

I believe that the first step in managing your relationship with yourself is to determine what you actually think about yourself. You might be surprised with what you discover. I’ve learned that all too often we reserve our harshest criticism and our most negative thoughts for ourselves. And it’s just these thoughts that so often stand in the way of us achieving those things we most want in life.

You’ve undoubtedly heard the statement that “Our thoughts control our lives” which is covered extensively in the world’s great success literature. But let me ask you this: “What do you think about yourself?” In other words, “What are the thoughts you are having about yourself that are controlling your life?”

In my seminars and private coaching sessions, I like to ask people where their thoughts come from. This is always a fascinating discussion. People will say that their thoughts come from their parents and the way they were raised along with influences from all of the experiences they have had in life. Certainly, all of these things and many more are part of the answer. However, I think there is something much more significant that is often completely missed.

I believe that our thoughts ultimately come from the questions that we ask ourselves on a daily basis. In fact, I like to go so far as to say that every thought we think is preceded by a question. Think about this for a minute and I bet you’ll agree with me.

We are constantly asking questions like “What should I do in this situation?” which leads to thoughts about what to do. The question “How will this affect the outcome that I am working to achieve?” will stimulate a whole series of thoughts and ideas and possible scenarios to consider. Even questions such as “Is this the right thing to do?” will lead to all kinds of thoughts about good and bad and/or right and wrong. Truly, the questions we ask and the thoughts they lead to are endless.

But here’s something that’s not always obvious. Questions can become very deep seated and begin generating thoughts that don’t really serve us … thoughts that aren’t good for us. And since we are around ourselves all of the time, these questions are controlling our thoughts so we need to know what they are. Otherwise, we can continue asking these disempowering questions for months, years, decades, or even our entire life unless we learn how to step behind the curtain and take control.

Imagine having to be around someone who is constantly bugging you or irritating you. For all too many people, that describes the relationship they have with themselves!

Let me give you an example of how one question could be in conflict with the relationship you have with yourself, and how it could derail you on your quest for greater success.

I’ve discovered that many people have big generalized questions like this one: “What are they thinking of me?” Imagine having that question constantly roaming around in your mind. One client told me that she’s had this question since she was a little girl, and although this client has achieved some great things in her life, she still hasn’t found peace, happiness, or any level of fulfillment. She said that she feels like no matter what she does, it doesn’t feel like enough. Isn’t that interesting? Here is a lady who is a Fortune 500 executive, earning an amazing amount of money, receiving constant praise for her work, and yet she feels like no matter what she does it isn’t enough. She’s making a great contribution to others by serving on a very high level but she is not happy on the inside. This reminds me of the old saying that “Success without fulfillment is failure.”

I think the answer to her challenge can be found in this main question that she’s been asking herself for years. Many questions have a presupposition and wouldn’t you say that her question (“What are they thinking of me?”) contains within it the idea that people may not be thinking good things about her?

Of course, the fact of the matter is that we can never really know what other people are thinking about us. Sure, you could ask someone to tell you what he or she is thinking but you might not get the truth.

The ultimate problem with this question, however, is that it puts other people in the driver’s seat of your life. While a question like this might motivate you to get other people to think good things about you, you will never know for sure what other people think. And, most importantly, do you really want to base your life of what other people think of you?

Now I realize that this example may not illustrate your question or situation, but I hope it gets you thinking about what your question or questions might be. What is it that you are asking yourself underneath all of the stuff that is going on in your life? If you want to find out, do what I call a “Mental Download” and start writing down the thoughts that cross your mind. You’ll be amazed by what you discover. Just as a computer program can have bugs that prevent it from operating correctly, you may have a few thoughts in your mental computer that are getting in the way of your success.

In the past few weeks, here are some questions that clients have shared with me: Am I smart enough to do this? What if I try and fail? Why can’t I accomplish my goal? Why is it easier for other people? How can I protect myself if things go bad? Why can’t I lose the weight I want to lose?

How about starting to examine your thoughts and figure out what questions are whirring around in your consciousness? One of the things I most enjoy doing is helping people discover their questions and corresponding thoughts. In fact, I’ve learned over the years that for most people, there is one main question that is having an enormous influence on every aspect of their life. I can promise you that discovering your main question will transform every aspect of your life. It will allow you to have a better relationship with yourself and everyone else in your life. And achieving your goals will be easier than ever before.

I’ve seen people transformed immediately once they discovered the underlying questions and corresponding thoughts that are controlling their life, especially the main question that they may have been trying to answer for decades. You may find that you can figure out your main question by yourself by completely a “Mental Download” or you might want to consider working with a coach that understands this process. The truth of the matter is that we are often too close to ourselves to see and understand exactly what’s going on.

There’s a great line in the play by Shakespeare entitled “The Life and Death of Julies Caeser” where the character Cassius asks Brutus if he can see his own face. Brutus replies: “No, Cassisus; for the eye sees not itself, but by reflection, by some other means.”

We can’t really see ourselves and so often a question that you’ve been asking since you were a child is standing in the way of you achieving a great relationship with yourself, and it’s standing in the way of you achieving your ultimate ideal in life. I believe there is nothing more important than uncovering the questions and thoughts that are controlling your life so you can once and for all take control of your destiny.

Lastly, remember the simple fact that all progress in life begins by asking a better question. Maybe now is the time to examine your thoughts on deep level so you can transform the questions you have, the thoughts you think, and the life you live.

Challenging Times
March 24th, 2008

Have you noticed how challenging things seem these days?

We have an economy that is less than stable, and recently we have been seeing wild fluctuations in the stock market with the value of the dollar plunging internationally. Within our own borders, we’ve seen some plummeting real estate values, and a mortgage situation that’s currently being described as a national crisis. Along with this we have rising oil prices with seemly no end in sight. And yet there's more, lot's more. We seem to be facing a never-ending series of problems in the Middle East, and the threats of terrorism that manifested themselves on 9/11 don't seem to be going away or getting any better. So it’s not just challenges in the world of economics.

There seem to be challenges everywhere you look.

There are plenty of political and social challenges fighting for our attention but that's still just scratching the surface. How about the many environmental issues we hear about on an almost daily basis? Scientists are continuing to make dire predictions about things such as Global Warming and other environmental issues that could lead to serious consequences. And regardless of your position on these issues, we would all have to admit that we are adding more pollution to the planet than the world has ever seen. The size and scope of some of these problems are enormous. Surely, there is someone coming to the rescue, yes? We are right in the middle of one of the most interesting presidential elections we have seen in modern times but can we really count on any of the candidates to fix these and other problems or will they just create more problems as we’ve so often seen in the past?

So what do you do about all of this? Even if these challenges don’t get your attention, I’m willing to bet that you have any number of personal obstacles standing between you and your goals. You are undoubtedly engaged in the process of making your life better and that always involves a long list of challenges.

So the question is how do you handle challenges?

Is it time to crawl under the blanket and just wish the problems would go away? You already know my answer.

Basically, there are only two choices. One is to get discouraged by the mountain of problems that face us and allow our confidence to wane. This is never the right choice. This will cause us to shrink, not grow.

The other option is to approach the future with unshakable confidence and the belief that we will find solutions. You might not know what the solutions are but you can believe that they are there.

Isn’t it interesting that we always find a way? Think back to past problems you have overcome personally. If you are honest with yourself, you have to admit that you’ve triumphed over some onerous obstacles. You’ve overcome many major challenges in your life. Isn’t that true? And haven’t we always found a way through difficult times both nationally and internationally even in the face of what seemed like insurmountable challenges? One of the best ways to build confidence for the future is to think about the problems we’ve already faced and overcome in the past. We’ve triumphed before, and we can triumph again.

The fact of the matter is that our world has been in peril for a long time. Some would even say it’s always been in peril but maybe it is more intense these days. Let’s face it, we have the power to blow ourselves up with the push of a few buttons. That hasn’t always been the case on planet earth. What’s worse is that we have many people on the planet who actually believe that pushing a few of those buttons would be a good idea. If that’s not a challenge then I don’t know what is.
But here’s a way to keep your confidence level high in the face of such challenges. Think about the fact that we’ve overcome difficulties before and we can do it again. I sometimes say to my clients that the bigger the problem, the bigger than hero that’s needed. I think we all have the power to be heroes, and I believe that winning at the game of life requires being heroic. I think a hero is someone who is willing to face a challenge head on with unstoppable confidence. It doesn’t mean you blindly charge ahead without a plan and some honest concern. It just means that you don’t let a challenge stop you. It always seems easier to back away from a challenge but deep down we all know that’s not the case. It is only by stepping into the unknown with courage and conviction that we grow and become more. You have to get out of your comfort zone to grow.
So when you hear all of the bad news about the world falling apart or you think about your own personal challenges and problems, think about this:

We are bigger than anything that could ever happen to us. We have the power and ability to overcome the challenges that might try to block us from our destiny. Sure, I can’t prove to you that those statements are true, but I choose to believe them. In fact, I think it takes a great deal of confidence in the future to believe them. But after all, confidence is the single greatest skill that we can foster and develop. So enjoy the present with the unshakeable conviction that the future can be better than the past if we have the confidence to make it that way.


The Nature of Time
January 18th, 2008

Well, to begin with, time, as we think about it, doesn't even really exist. We think of weeks and hours and minutes and seconds, but these are completely human inventions. Days and years can be scientifically measured, of course, but these concepts as they're familiar to us would mean nothing if we were on the surface of another planet. They're simply subjective.

Now, sure, all of these labels present a convenient way for us to function as a society, but they are really just lies we agree upon. There is no such thing as an hour. Nine o'clock in the morning does not exist. And yet, to give you an example of how powerful a hold this lie of time can have over us, more people have heart attacks at 9:00 on Monday mornings than at any other hour. Think about that. They'd rather die than go to a job they hate. How's that for processing time with an extraordinary psychology?

And examples of this abound. Traffic on the streets of our cities overflows twice a day in the hour before nine and the hour after five. Most of us eat lunch at noon and go to bed before midnight. But these are all arbitrary hours that have meaning only because we've assigned it to them. In the United States, we're used to working from nine to five, but if we all decided that we were going to take a nap in the middle of the day, that's what would become the norm. And in some areas of the world, that's exactly what happens.

Those of us who are concerned about using our time wisely — of balancing our myriad roles effectively and getting the most success from all of them — would do well to break out of these artificial constructs and create a personalized way of interacting with time and the things we would like to accomplish in it. That's what this artilce is about. But to do this, we first need to understand a little more about the nature of time itself and of how it progresses in the natural universe. If a week or an hour doesn't really exist, then what exactly is time? What's it made up of?

Well, as a physicist would tell you, time is the factor that distinguishes sequential events from simultaneous events. Time allows for progression, for cause and effect, but it's also the barrier that separates the present from the past and the future.

Time is not anything you can see. It's not a force that has a demonstrable effect on its own, like gravity. Gravity is actually a property of matter, but time is a property of space. We think of space as having three dimensions — which we popularly call "length," "width," and "height" — but it actually has at least one other dimension. The fourth dimension of space is time, which we could also call "duration." In fact, space and time are so closely linked that scientists often refer to them as parts of the same phenomenon. This is called space-time.

Now, I know this is getting to sound more like Physics 101 than a way of mastering your use of time! But believe me, it's all connected. What I want to make clear is that we're used to thinking of things as happening in space. The same amount of space could hold a house or a forest or an ocean or a landfill, just like the same amount of space could hold a BMW or a rusty old hatchback.
And I want you to start thinking of time in the same way. Space-time is nothing more than an arena for us to fill up as we choose. We can fill our own personal space-time with junk, or we can fill it with riches. The same area can bring us joy or regret, productivity or relaxation, pleasure or pain. Like so many other things, how we fill any amount of space and time comes down to simple decisions that we make every moment of our life. And that's one of the things this article is about — how we choose to fill our time, and whether that choice is made by an extraordinary psychology or by inertia or laziness or by a thousand other impulses that rob us of our precious treasure.

But it's also about the nature of time and how time relates to nature. And especially how people experience time, because we have such a unique relationship with it. Our bodies are "designed" to last a specific amount of time. Now, every day the scientific community is learning things that help extend that functioning by just a little longer, but we'll never be able to alter the fact that there is a beginning and an end to physical. And much of the time in between is determined by natural systems for which time plays an critical role. So many of our biological functions are "timed" … the activation of our pituitary glands that trigger puberty … our heartbeat and respiration … cell division and elimination … menstruation. These are part of timed cycles, like the cycles of the tides, of the seasons, of days and nights, and of the Earth's revolution around the sun. We may or may not be aware of them, but the cycles of our biology exist in balance with these natural cycles and others.

And think about other natural cycles that move without cease around us. All living creatures are affected by cycles … cycles like when wild animals reproduce. Think about insects like the cicada, which emerge from hibernation every seventeen years to mate. Or cycles of migration, like birds that fly south for the winter. In the wild, much of an animal's instincts are centered upon the passage of time.

But humans differ from every other life we know about because, even though we have cycles and instincts of our own, we have a conscious and active sense of passing time that goes beyond "hardwired" responses. Just the fact that we have arbitrarily determined and named intervals of time speaks much for our unique power for comprehending and harnessing it. This is really quite extraordinary, if you think about it! A cat might realize that it's hungry, but it doesn't understand why two hours must pass before its next meal. And because of this, it becomes a servant to the hunger, as it's a servant to all of its instincts.

Only we humans are different. Consider the story of a group of coal miners who were trapped underground by a cave-in. While they all survived the falling rocks, they were cut off from the surface and, even worse, from their air supply. Knowing that they only had a few hours before their air ran out, they prayed for rescue in that time, but it seemed hopeless.

Only one of the miners had a watch, and he used it to keep them alive beyond the time the air should have been exhausted. How was this possible? It isn't a riddle. Since he was the only one who "knew" how much time was really passing, he was able to convince the others that what felt like a passing hour, because of their isolation and panic, was really only a half hour. He was lying, of course, but it did the trick. The miners, convinced that only three hours had passed, were able to survive the six hours it took for the rescuers to dig to them, just as the air was running out. Only one man died … the man with the watch. Aware of the "impossibility" of survival, he didn't survive.

Now, this is an extreme and possibly apocryphal tale, but it does nicely illustrate two points. The first is one of my favorite philosophies, and I've seen it proven over and over again: that what you believe becomes your reality. The second is that it's possible for people to break the seemingly unassailable hold that time has over them. It's simply a matter of changing the way you think about it. That's all it takes to be the master of time, rather than one of its many, many slaves.

Happy Thanksgiving and The Paradoxical Commandments
November 22nd, 2007

Thanksgiving is the time when most everyone focuses their thoughts, if for some only briefly, on what they have to be thankful for in life. Certainly, daily thanksgiving would be a better strategy than waiting for a yearly holiday; nevertheless, Thanksgiving is a great time to remind ourselves about what’s most important in life and think about the many blessings that have come our way.
I came across something very interesting recently that I thought I would share on this Thanksgiving Day. It was written by Kent M. Keith back in 1968 when he was only 19 years old.

Amazingly, this short piece has traveled around the world and even ended up on the wall of people such as Mother Teresa. It’s called "The Paradoxical Commandments." I hope you enjoy it!
* * * * *
THE PARADOXICAL COMMANDMENTS
by Keith M. Kent

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.Give the world the best you have anyway.

* * * * *

I like to think about these kinds of paradoxes, especially as they relate to Thanksgiving. Sometimes giving thanks for what we have is difficult because things are not exactly the way we would like for them to be or not the way we planned for them to be. Maybe it would be good to add another line to "The Paradoxical Commandments" on this Thanksgiving Day:

* * * * *

If you work hard to achieve your goals and maintain an attitude of thanksgiving, you may still fall short of your expectations.Work hard and be thankful anyway.

* * * * *

I like adding this last statement, especially on Thanksgiving. Besides, you may be short of your expectations now, but who knows what opportunity is going to present itself right around the next corner!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Ideas About Happiness
November 5th, 2007

Here are some interesting ideas about happiness from the website Mercola.com:

* * * * *

"Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert says that you ‘synthesize’ your happiness. That you have a ‘psychological immune system’ that helps you change your views about your world, in order to feel better about the world in which you find yourself."

"Not only that, he also maintains that when we imagine what could make us happy, such as new clothes or winning the lottery our brains are invariably wrong in advising us that those things will make us happy. In fact, statistics show that paraplegics are just as happy as lottery winners one year after the event of either becoming injured, or winning the lottery!"

"We tend to think that getting things such as a job, a new car, or a trip around the world is what will make us happy. However, studies have shown that we make ourselves happy by simply imagining that we are happy. So getting what we want doesn’t actually have anything to do with being happy."

"Why is this?"

A Healthy Body and Mind
October 29th, 2007

More than two thousand years ago, Hippocrates, the Greek physician and father of medicine, said, "A wise [person] ought to realize that health is [the] most valuable possession."

We are obliged to Hippocrates' and others from the past for reminding us that fitness and health is not just a new and passing phenomenon and neither are the ways to achieve and maintain good health. The fundamentals of good health, known and proven for so long, are available to anyone who decides they want to fully enjoy the enormous benefits of healthy living.

I found the reality of this lesson brought home in the compelling story from over a century ago of an American boy, sickly and weakened by childhood diseases, who sought a refuge from his physical handicaps in a love of books and reading. As time went on, just as his mind grew strong from his studies, his body continued to fail.

His concerned father at last told his 12-year old son, "You have the mind but not the body, and without the help of the body the mind cannot go as far as it should. You must make your body know you will do it!" And the wise father then gave the boy weights and other gymnastic equipment and worked with him to strengthen his frail young body.

Well, this story has a remarkably happy ending. The boy heeded his father's encouragement, and not only worked hard to rebuild his health, but became a superior athlete, graduated from Harvard University and went on to lead a vigorously active life of eminent achievement. This once-sickly boy eventually became the 26th president of the United States. He was Theodore Roosevelt, who at age 42, was and is the youngest man ever to become president.

Throughout his life, Roosevelt practiced what he called, "the strenuous life." His energetic commitment to physical activities included boxing, horseback riding, swimming and hiking among others. Teddy Roosevelt discovered that an important foundation for good health is movement and activity. He demonstrated that our bodies are designed to get stronger as they are constantly used and challenged with purposeful physical activities.

Teddy Roosevelt, incidentally, was a great outdoorsman and probably knew more about natural science than any other President who has ever been in office, and some of his most notable achievements were in the area of conservation. He added about 150 million acres to the national forests, set up five new national parks, created the first 51 federal bird reservations and established the first four national game preserves. He loved nature and worked to preserve the environment for future generations.

Roosevelt undoubtedly agreed with Emerson's view that, "The first wealth is health." And with the old proverb that takes Emerson's idea one step further by saying, "Health is better than wealth."

Because Teddy Roosevelt's life dramatically exemplifies the life-changing power of achieving and maintaining good health. The simple moral to his story is that nothing is more essential to building a successful life than good health.

As Teddy Roosevelt showed us, the secrets to good health are not complicated. They are known and waiting for you to discover them and, most important, to put them into practice. The blessings and joys of good health and fitness can be yours when you choose to make them priorities in your life.

Good health, you know, means having the capacity to live life fully and being able to experience the best that life has to offer. It means having vigor and energy. It is having the ability to pursue your dreams with the confidence that you will be able to accomplish them.

It's doubtful that Teddy Roosevelt would have accomplished much in his life had it not been for the words of advice from his father about developing his body in addition to his mind. It's worth thinking about, especially these days when so many of us live sedentary existences. We can only go where our bodies can take us, and our bodies need exercise to stay healthy and strong. So remember: build both your body and your mind. They're a powerful combination. Teddy Roosevelt proved it.

Crabs in a Bucket
September 13th, 2007

I remember one of my early mentors telling me that if I wanted to be financial independent, I needed to start spending the majority of my time with people who were already financial independent. I'm sad to say that this mentor was the only person in my life at that time who qualified as financially independent. But I took his words to heart and started to develop associations and friendships with people who had the means to live the kind of lifestyle that I wanted for myself. And it was these associations along with this early mentor that made my goal of financial independence a reality.

So associating with the right people really does make a difference and not just to your net worth. Have you ever noticed how people who are drowning in problems are surrounded by others in the same situation? People naturally become molded by the people they are around. It's just a natural human tendency to become a part of our environment. So the bottomline is that we need to choose our environment very carefully.

And while it's sometimes difficult to free yourself from a bad situation, it's always possible. You just need the desire mixed with some dogged determination. In fact, what can make it so hard to climb out of a bad situation is the people who unknowingly want to hold you back. Since they are fearful of anything different than what they know, they want to protect you by keeping you exactly where you are.

I like to call this the "crabs in a bucket" phenomena. When you have a bucket full of crabs, all of the crabs are reasonably happy until one of them decides to try and climb out of the bucket. The other crabs become quite angry and do everything they can to pull that climbing crab right back to the bottom.

So don't let other peoples' fears hold you back. Once you've decided on a goal, pursue it with everything you've got.

Become a Published Author
September 5th, 2007

Have you ever thought about publishing your ideas or sharing your wisdom with the world? Or, have you already published a work of some kind but you need greater distribution?

At Success.com, we decided to kick off the fall season with a new and revolutionary feature. We have created a system that allows anyone in the world to submit a product to be sold on Success.com. The only requirement is that the product must be digital — i.e., an MP3 file or a PDF file for ease of electronic distribution. Oh, and the product must also be outstanding! (But, of course, that goes without saying!) Our product submission specialists only select the best works for distribution but you’ll never know if you have something extraordinary unless you let us review it. Also, you may not have a program yourself, but perhaps you know of a program you would like to see us offer.

Over the years, our focus has never changed. We market and distribute the finest personal development programs available anywhere. If you have a product you would like us to consider distributing, simply log into Success.com and go to the My Account area online.
