 No matter what goals or aspirations you might have, there is one thing certain: There is a price you must pay to get what you want in life. In fact, there is no sidestepping the fact that any type of success demands something from you. It’s simply the way life works and rarely will a shortcut ever get you there. Let’s take a closer look at exactly what success in any field of endeavor may demand from you. Success Demands You Show No Fear! Fear is something that is likely to consistently hold you back from your desired objectives. Success demands that you overcome your fears and develop the necessary courage you need to pursue your goals with vigor, passion, and zest. You must successfully strive to overcome, or at the very least successfully manage the fear of uncertainty, the fear of failure, the fear of getting rejected or criticized, the fear of making mistakes, the fear of change, and even the fear of hard work. Success Demands Unwavering Commitment When you are fully committe...

 Self-belief is the foundation of success. This is an iron rule. Nobody ever became unreasonably successful without a strong belief in themselves. Self-belief can start with a vague but deep sense of being special. This sense sometimes arises simply from being born into privilege or because of encouragement from role models around us, such as parents and relatives. Equally, however, conviction in one's destiny can arise from defiant vulnerability or isolation in childhood, when the self is thrown back on itself and creates an imaginary future to compensate for a barren present. Researchers have a tough time agreeing on what, exactly, self-confidence is. Some say it is simply believing in yourself, while others go into more detail about your expectations for and evaluations of yourself and your performance. To be truly self-confident is to exude confidence in your words and actions, in addition to believing in yourself and feeling capable. Here are activities and exercises you can d...

  Stress. Pressure. We work under it. We are driven by it. We suppress it. We deny it and try to escape it. We take vitamins for it. We feel it in our chest. Our stomach churns. Our palms get sweaty. And all of us are squeezed by it. So then, how must we learn to view stress in our lives? Perhaps the burdens we desire to “cast-off” are those that God wants to use in our lives to press us to Him—to cause us to trust Him. Totally. Completely. Without reservation. The following parable of Sadhu Sundar Singh, a Hindu convert to Christianity, beautifully illustrates how God wants to use burdens and heavy pressures in our lives. Shortly after coming to Christ, Sadhu felt called to become a missionary to India. Late one afternoon Sadhu was traveling on foot through the Himalayas with a Buddhist monk. It was bitter cold and the wind felt like a cold blade slicing into Sadhu’s skin. Night was fast approaching when the monk warned Sadhu that they were in danger of freezing to death if they d...

  For many of us, aloneness is a negative state of being. Society doesn’t help us with this notion either; being alone often carries a social stigma, implying isolation, being on the outside. This perceived sense of aloneness seems to imply that being by one’s self is not volitional, or a choice we make, but rather an imposed state where a person is not socially engaged in the way that is somehow expected. Even further, it may imply that there is something actually wrong or defective with a person who remains alone. Social media gives us the impression — the illusion — that we are connected even if it’s only interacting with somebody’s words. Clicking “like” is the abbreviated form of saying, “I hear you and I agree.” Comments serve as conversation as if we had really interacted with that person in real time. Without this connection through devices, we may feel anxious that we will be alone and left out. But I believe that most of us really know in our heart of hearts tha...

 Balance is a fundamental component of any movement we perform. Being able to maintain balance is crucial to performing everyday activities such as going up or down stairs, or reaching for a high shelf.  While people will make the effort to fit in a walk or strength exercises through the week, balance specific exercises are often forgotten about, despite how important they are.  Balance can be improved at any age and at any starting level. The key is repetition and practice. Maintaining balance is crucial especially as we start to get older. Having good balance helps in preventing falls, injury, and simply making your daily activities easier to perform.  There are multiple sensory inputs in the body that are important for balance Vision Proprioception: this is your body’s sense of awareness in space Vestibular system: this is the functioning of our inner ear which helps with spatial orientation Maintaining balance is a complex task that requires coordination from you...

 We've all experienced those days when we feel like an absolute failure. It's a normal feeling when things don't go as exactly planned. And, when we feel like that, it's challenging to think of yourself as a successful individual. Even though we all have our own definitions of success, there are also a number of signs that we're overlooking that can let us know that we're actually more successful than we could have ever guessed.  And here are 12 of those signs . 1. You are no longer controlled by income. We all know that money is a big deal. We all have bills to pay. And while it striving to make more money in theory sounds like a great idea, at what price would you pay to earn that extra income? Would be willing to neglect to your friends and family? Would be willing to skip that dream vacation? Would be willing to work 60 hours per work at a job that you're not passionate about? Yes. Earning a comfortable living and being responsible with your money is alw...

 Every organization has a vision behind why your organization exists, as well as what your big picture mission is. And when every member of your organization is acutely aware of your “why” and how their work directly contributes to that mission, your team will keep from developing burnout, disenchantment, and detachment from their work. How important is"why"? Your “why” motivates action. Every organization and every job requires tedious work. Regardless of how much someone loves their job and the field they went into, that original passion can begin to dim as they shuffle through paperwork and the nitty-gritty of their job. But those tedious tasks can be less draining when you are reminded why you’re doing them. Not just in a vague, “this needs to get done so we can do what we do” sense. If any member of your staff is struggling with finding motivation in their work, sit down with them or with their team and draw a clear line from the work they complete to the ultimate goal o...
