DON’T TRICK YOURSELF OUT OF SUCCESS

With another new year having set in, it’s time to introspect and evaluate whether you really turned your desires into reality or you tricked yourself out of success in 2011.
A lot of people get satisfied by winning small battles and convincing themselves that they have progressed. They do everything to look busy by putting in long hours but carefully and willingly avoid every situation that needs them to encounter their dark side. Eventually, the year goes by with a false feeling of achievement. However, the truth is that they just took baby steps to move ahead and consciously chose not to participate in bigger war to get big results.
Staying in comfort zone, choosing security, avoiding risks are traits of average human beings and research says that over 90% of the population prefer this kind of life. It is only the 10% who go all the distance and make a big difference to their lives and the lives of those around them.
Get out of ‘I am too busy right now to deal with this’ habit, because more often than not people will only ignore or postpone the big ticket items, those that require big efforts or major decisions which can impact crucial areas of life like relationships, career, wealth, health among other things.
In reality, people play a self defeating game by allowing their dark side to rule. Like for instance some people are stuck in the habit of procrastination, inadequate skills to plan and be organized, inability to deal with the fear of unknown, encountering difficult people or situations and lack of appetite to take risks. Irrespective of what is stopping you from the real-success you have to take a stand to overcome it and get things done to move on in life.
Ursula James, a premier hypnotherapy practitioner from UK in her book ‘You Can Be Amazing’ writes and I quote ‘Break down something huge and overwhelming into small and manageable pieces. By breaking the process into small sections, habit, thoughts, behaviors – and get to grips with each one, effortlessly, so that you can become this amazing you without being aware of any conscious effort. This way the change will stick for ever. By breaking it down into small, manageable pieces it becomes practically effortless – and this way you are much more likely to get started, keep going, and get what you want’.
Eleven months from now, you will be assessing what you achieved in 2012 and you will be disappointed if your dreams do not turn into reality. So, gather the courage and pick up the most difficult but significant goal and take it head on. Identify the concern areas which are stopping you from making progress and rage a war against them. Work on a systematic plan, seek support, be ready to lose small battles but keep moving, encounter the enemy within and defeat him in his own game and surprise him with success. It’s simply now or never.

MONEY MATTERS -- Money Never Made a Man Happy

MONEY MATTERS ‘Money never made a man happy. The more the man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it creates one; Money cannot buy happiness, but it can buy you the kind of misery you prefer’. ---:--- There are plenty of views and theories about money. Yet, it is money that helps people to pay their house rent, for their children’s education, utility bills, travel, medicines and other basic needs. The importance of money for each individual can vary from status in society, culture, place of living etc. however, with the rising cost of living, money has become a necessity and people, therefore, work to earn that money. It is a known fact that employees tend to perform better when they are appreciated with a good annual increment, bonus or incentive. However, employers have a tendency to take most of their experienced staff for granted and pay them less. A pat on the back, an official recognition, a fancy designation may help in some way, but most people

Give your hundred per cent in whatever you do and become a champion.

The power of motivation is often either underestimated or brushed aside by some people. People fail to realize that motivating someone in any arena of life only cultivates more force in generating positive feelings. To pat someone on the back, to congratulate someone when the going gets great or to vouch for someone during his peak form is a mere reinforcement of your support to a person. However, the real use of motivation comes in when the chips are down; nothing seems to be working fine and when someone is under pressure to perform. When the going gets tough, all that one needs is someone to put an arm around the shoulder, reaffirm the faith and ignore a few mistakes. On the contrary, most people go wrong in this context and run out of patience. They create an atmosphere of extreme pressure and instead of creating a scope for a comeback, they pull the person deeper into stress and kill the performance totally. This in turn results in loss of love, understanding and results.
