Learning To See Challenges As Opportunities

•The Benefits Of A Flexible Attitude
Life is full of challenges, and many times we have to stop what we are doing to completely switch gears. Having the ability to be versatile, and developing a flexible attitude will go a long way in adjusting to the ebbs and tides that life will inevitably bring. When life or work seems too frustrating to deal with, all we may need to make it work is an attitude adjustment. When we focus on fighting the obstacles that challenge us, we waste time and energy that could be used more productively...

•Self Esteem Being Your Own Cheerleader
Many of us believe that the only way to feel good about ourselves is to have someone else constantly reaffirm to us that we are good people. The truth is, however, that the act of simply believing in ourselves can be enough to give us the necessary confidence to accomplish the impossible, achieve greatness, and pick ourselves up when we fall. Far too often we rely on others in our lives to provide us with a best friend’s kindness, a child’s love, or a spouse’s support. If we need love and...

•The True Power Of Law Of Attraction
One of the greatest gifts we receive as deliberate creators is an awakening to our true power to choose our life experiences day to day. Most of us are used to living our lives in response to the things we see and experience in our external surroundings. When everything moves along smoothly for us, we feel good. When things go wrong, we feel bad. We are constantly on a roller coaster of up and down emotions. In other words, we tend to take a passive role in our daily lives, rather than a...

•New Beginnings The Gift Of Starting Over
I recently had the pleasure of seeing the movie, 50 First Dates starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. (Note: this article contains spoilers for the movie. If you haven't seen it yet and don't want me ruining the surprise, you might want to put this article aside until after you've seen it.) The main character, Lucy (Barrymore) has virtually no short-term memory due to a car accident. She remembers everything up until the point of the accident, but retains no new memories of anything that...

You may be familiar with the benefits of clearing stagnant energy from your living space by giving your home a solid Spring cleaning each year - but there's also a little-known activity that can work wonders to clear stagnation from your life at any time: CLEAN YOUR CAR!

•Where To Start With Law Of Attraction
If you're just learning about the Law of Attraction and wondering where to start, or if you're not seeing results and want to start over, I'd like to share a few tips on what I believe to be the best ways to get started: 1) Choosing more positive thoughts. Negative thinking is very much a habit, and it's one that has the power to control your life in frightening ways!

•Self Growth When Everything Falls Apart
We often have the perception that self-growth will be simple, enjoyable, and rewarding. It certainly can be, but there is also another aspect of the self-growth journey that is rarely mentioned. And that is, when everything falls apart. One of the major parts of self-growth is learning how to look inside yourself and get clear about certain things. Most often, this involves recognizing and dissolving inner blockages. These are usually deep-rooted beliefs that we formed in childhood, or at...

•The Ease Of Being In Flow
Have you ever experienced moments when everything seemed to just flow? Moments when you didn't have to struggle or fight or force things to happen? It's as if there were a giant hand holding a magic wand a few paces ahead of you at every step, magically shifting circumstances so that everything goes your way. As a writer, I'm keenly aware of the flow. It usually means the difference between my words spilling smoothly and effortlessly onto the page, or each word being wrung stiltedly and...

•You Are The Law Of Attraction
Have you been struggling to get the Law of Attraction to work for you? Do you feel like you must have some severe inner blockages that prevent you from attracting the things you really want into your life? One possible stumbling block you might encounter is the temptation to view the Law of Attraction as some mystical power greater than yourself. Do you often feel like you're begging the universe to deliver your desires? Do you worry that you're not good enough and your requests will be...
