Does your past history control your life today?

How can you tell if your past is having a negative effect on your life today? Try this: Would you kick a dead horse, then get mad when it would not get up and pull your cart down the road? I don't think so!

BUT -- if you're not achieving the lifestyle you truly desire, it ia probable that painful old memories are in control of both your present AND your future.

The painful experiences those memories are based on are dead and gone all right. But the minute you bring them back into the present, they also take control of your future. So your cart (your hopes and dreams) just sits right there and does not go anywhere. [Read More!]

Are You Chasing the Right Dream? by Dr Jill Ammon-Wexler

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind." ~~ William James, famed psychologist

Achieving certain dreams often requires FAR LESS WORK than achieving other, seemingly easier goals.

Why is that so?

Because it is much, much harder to work for a goal we do not passionately desire. But when you manage to get yourself focused on what is naturally of passionate interest to you -- your work becomes play! [Read More!]

CHALLENGE YOUR BRAIN By Dr Jill Ammon-Wexler
Pioneer Brain/Mind Researcher

Even if you are classified at a genius level, you are still potentially far more intelligent. And if IQ tests indicate you have an average intelligence, hold on to your socks! Attaining genius levels of mental processing IS within reach.

John von Neumann, the inventor of the computer, estimated our brains hold two hundred and eighty quintillion bits of memory (that equals 280, followed by 18 zeros). But most modern neuroscientists feel even this estimate is far too low.

A few short years ago scientists believed geniuses were born with brains that were somehow different from the rest of us. But recent scientific research suggests that genius-level brainpower is more the result of mental training -- not just genetic superiority.

What marks the difference between the person who achieves their goals and the person who doesn't? How many times have you been told the difference is just having a definite, well-defined goal.

Actually that is putting the cart before the horse, and it's not really true. You can have a serious goal and still never even come close to achieving it. In fact, that goal might even end up further eroding your self confidence.

Why is this so? Because just having a goal does NOT magically bring your desire into reach. Neither does creating a detailed goal plan. [Read More!]

What is confidence? According to Webster's dictionary, it's "having no uncertainty about one's abilities."

Have you ever wondered why some people seem totally self-confident, while others are in almost total lack?

Actually - no one is born confident. Confidence is built through life experience, and especially the feedback you receive as a youngster about your experiences. If you receive (and collect) a lifetime of negative believes about your own abilities, then you will have low self confidence. [Read More!]

In tapping into your natural genius, there are many aspects of "genius" to consider. Probably the least understood expression of the human mind is our emotional intelligence.

An emotion is the end result of a feeling. And although it's easy enough to recognize when you're "feeling" something - it often less clear just what a "feeling" really is.

According to Webster's Dictionary, a feeling is "a partly mental, partly physical, response marked by pleasure, pain, attraction, or repulsion."

But this says nothing about the response to the feeling! [Read More!]

You might have also thought that you can't grow new brain cells (neurons) once you reach adulthood. Whether or not that is true (the decision is still out) does NOT really matter. Here's why:

GOAL SETTING - 1 Step To Achieving Your Goals
By Wayne Perkins

In Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen's original "Chicken Soup for the Soul," I am reminded of the short story titled "Another Check Mark On the List." This is a story about a 15-year-old boy named John who, on one rainy day, when it was too wet outside to play, he decided to write a list of goals. John continued writing until he had 127 goals. These goals included exploring the Nile River, climbing high mountain peaks around the world and learning 3 foreign languages. He also wanted to be featured in a Rose Bowl Parade and play several musical instruments.
