Living In The Moment

The best way to get through life, with the most enjoyment and the least amount of stress, is to live in the moment. In order to effectively live in the moment you must believe in your ability to cope with whatever life throws at you. You must have confidence in yourself, the confidence that you will do the right thing. Knowing that you can effectively deal with any situation that comes your way will better enable you to live in the moment.

Remember that life is only 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react. By living in the moment you have a far greater ability to be happy. If you are living in the past or worrying about the future you are probably filled with negativity. You are most likely listening to a destructive inner voice that is robbing you of the “moment." It’s critical that you learn to turn the negative self talk into positive self talk. Only by being positive can you truly live in the moment.

Another destructive behavior that postpones the “moment” is to live for “more.” Always wanting “more” and focusing on “more” is contradictory to living in the moment. Postponing happiness until you have “more” pretty much insures an unhappy life. The “more” focuses all of your energy on the future making it virtually impossible to live in the moment.

Living in the moment allows you to focus on the people and things that are important to you right now. This also enables you to feel and show gratitude, which is an absolute prerequisite for happiness. Believe it or not gratitude is a key to abundance.

Happiness really is simple and what’s more it is a choice. It all circles back to having the right attitude. With the right attitude, a positive attitude, you are better able to live in the moment and better able to experience happiness.

Are You Prepared For Success? (Section II - Installment #10 "The Achiever” - Male and Female versions)

(If this is your first time on this site, please begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])

The Achiever

The power of positive

Thinking is great.

As to this fact

There is no debate.

Great feats can be achieved

By woman or man

Simply because

You believes that you can.

Whatever the field,

Whatever the goal,

Whatever the task,

You know in your soul,

You know that it's true,

That no great achiever

Ever achieved greatness,

Not being a believer.

You too can be great,

Its not reserved for the few.

The next great achiever

Can actually be you.

You too can attain

These loftier heights.

Believe in yourself

And reset your sights.

(An original Poem by Mel Kaye)

I strongly suggest that you write down your immediate reaction, after passionately reading this poem.

• What do you need to believe in order for you to achieve?

Being Positive

By Jacqueline Pigdon

Studies show that positive people are winners in good times and survivors in hard times. People who begin to consciously modify their inner conversations and attitudes report an almost immediate improvement in their performance. Their energy increases and things seem to just go better. How would you like things to be better for you? A simple choice you can make every morning is either a positive one such as ‘I am going to have a fantastic day today and be the best possible person that I can be in all aspects of my life’ and choose to be in this state or ‘allow negativity to set in and be doom and gloom’. It’s your choice.However easier said than done? Yes it is. So where does this positive attitude come from?It comes from your inner belief and knowing based on realistic and achievable goals. Your belief and knowing comes from planning and planning comes from your vision and goal setting. Having realistic, achievable and measurable goals teamed with an inner belief that you ‘know’ you can achieve it - a positive attitude just comes and – you can do anything.

So how do you get this attitude?

• Listen to your self-talk and choose your attitude
• Work out what your realistic and achievable goals are and make plan
• Believe in yourself and your abilities
• Act with confidence!
• Contain your reactions
• Appreciate what you have, if you’re not happy with what you see, do something about it, change and take action!
• Surround yourself with positive people!

If you do this after a while you will start to gain much more value in your life by being positive that you won’t want to have anything to do with negativity again!

Increasing Blog Readership, 14 Rules by MondayMorningPower

I found myself first asking advise on the blog forums as to how to increase my readership, then I found myself giving advise on how to increase readership. I quickly realized that this was closely tied to having the right attitude, the focus of my blog. So I figured that I should write a piece on this subject. I hope you find it useful.

There is no short and simple answer. Like all worthwhile endeavors, this takes work. However, if you have “passion” for your blog, the “work” you will have to do will not seem like work at all. If you do not have passion for your blog, well, you can probably complete this statement yourself. These rules are designed to increase readership not increase traffic....there is a difference.

The 14 Rules

1. Have worthwhile content in your blog; content that will interest others.
2. Love what you do; your love for it will come through.
3. Be sure that your blog is visually pleasing. Continuously make visual changes. Never be completely satisfied with its appearance.
4. Submit your URL to as many search engines as you can (there are blogs that specialize in this.)
5. Post questions on blog forums; such as “How do I get people to read my blog?
6. Visit all blogs who respond to your question.
1. Always leave a comment on these blogs.
2. Thank them, on their blogs, for responding to your question.
7. If you like the blog, visit its links.
1. If you like the link, leave a comment and let them know how you found their blog.
2. There is no shame in asking for a "link swap" if you truly believe that both your readers and their readers will both benefit.
   
8. Visit as many blogs as you can.
9. If you give a blog more than just a casual glance, LEAVE A COMMENT
1. Always leave your URL at the end of the comment and invite them to visit your blog.
10. If someone leaves a comment on your blog with their URL, always visit their blog and leave a sincere comment thanking them for visiting and include something positive about their blog.
11. When you begin to create links on your blog to other blogs, visit them regularly and leave comments.
12. Create and give out business cards that contain your URL and a brief description of the content. Don’t be obnoxious about it.
13. Use your URL in your personal emails, again with a brief description.
14. Go back to number one and start again, and again, and again……………..

This should, by no means, be considered the entire rule set. I'm sure that most bloggers could come up with creative ways to increase readership that I have not listed. This is only the basics. However, if you follow these rules your audience will grow.
