Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008“I want to see, real, living, and in the hours of my own days, that glory I create as an illusion. I want it real. I want to know that there is someone, somewhere, who wants it, too. Or else what is the use of seeing it, and working, and burning oneself for an impossible vision ? A spirit, too, needs fuel. It can run dry.”
– The heroine, in the play “Ideal” written by Ayn Rand

Success
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

How To Get A Breakthrough And End Procrastination ?
Friday, August 10th, 2007
How often do we catch ourselves saying “Wait…”, “Not today”, “Maybe tomorrow” to the things which we know we should be doing ?
Procrastination is a time thief - it steals from us our most precious resource, time. The longer we delay doing the things which will benefit us, the further we push back the success which we desire.
So how do we get out of our comfort zone, get a breakthrough and end procrastination ? What we need is an inspiration to action, and then carrying it through with action.
Asking ourselves the two questions below can help us gain much inspiration to action, produce a much needed mental push and a change of perspective. However, inspiration remains a thought until it is acted upon by doing it right away. Acting on it and keeping up the sustained effort will build a habit.
Keep focused on the reward, not the process.
1. What is the one thing I don’t want to do today, but if I did it, will change my life and/or business ?
2. How will I benefit from doing the thing which I don’t want to do, but if I did, will change my life and/or business ?
3. Do it now. If logistically impossible to do it now, schedule in writing a time to do it.

… And Quit Worrying About What Other People Are Thinking Of You ?
The 18/40/60 Rule is a handy one to remember :
When you are 18, you worry about what everybody is thinking of you.
When you are 40, you don’t give a darn what anybody thinks of you.
When you are 60, you realise that nobody’s been thinking about you at all.
