Your smile makes a difference - One of our most valuable assets is our smile. Friend, our smile is our first opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others. I hope you'll choose as I do not to let this wonderful opportunity pass you by. Sure at times people might look at you a bit funny. However, you'll be amazed at the overall effect that sharing your smile will bring. Best of all you'll be impacting the life of you'll be doing your partto spread cheer in someone else' day!


Nothing wastes more energy than worrying - If you're like me you can use all the extra energy you can get :-) So I ask you "why on earth do we let problems stick with us?" If you're one of the luckyone's who never has this problem then I commend you.


Now let's focus on what we can do to lift these burdens ok? First we have to be able to realize that we can work past many of our problems. Secondly and equally as important we need to realize that most problems are never quite as bad as we make them out to be. What happens in many cases is we let the problem run through our minds without simply addressing them (that is cutting them off at the pass before they get really big in our minds). Basically what we wind up with is a snowball effect. Commit to yourself that whenever a problem arises that at that very moment you'll do what you have to address it. Even if you can't solve the problem at that moment simply by finding out all the details you can about it will stop the snowball effect that can occur in your mind. Once we have assessed all thedetails from their we can in many cases fix the problem.


Sometimes there are problems that we simply can't do anything about (be sure to look very carefully at the problem before assuming that your problem fits in this category). In cases like we need to get to the point where we can say in our won mind that we've done all we can and that at this point it's time to flush it out of our minds. I'll be the first to admit this is easier said than done. Exactly how you go about this is going to be up to you, but I can assure you that when you are able to put these problems aside you'll be better for it! You'll see that you're energy level will go up. You'll be better able to work on other tasks that are going on in your life. Think about it for a second. How well are you going to be able to work on what you need to when you have something else burdening you? If you're like me, not very well :-)..Here's hoping that you're able to work past the problems that arebothering you and get well on the task to more personal
 success!
 
DO ONTO OTHERS AS YOU WILL ACCEPT THEM IN RETURN. DO YOUR BEST AND LIVE THEREST TAKING CARE FOR ITSELF

because we don't think we are making progress, and the next thing we know we
have veered away from that goal.

want to achieve our goals. And each and every day, take a few steps closer

>One of the easiest ways to succeed is
to watch what other successful people are doing, and then take it a step
further! I enjoy reading the biographies of these folks, not so much for the
literary value as what I may learn about the person.

confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense." – Thomas
A. Bennett

>"Somehow I can't believe that
there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of
making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized
in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the
greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all
the way, implicitly and unquestionable." -- Walt Disney (Artist, Film
Producer)

>One of the surest roads I have found
that leads to personal success is in doing something that you would do even if
you didn't get paid for it! I have found that there are things that I just
enjoy doing more than others. From time to time I like to look at these things
and see how I could make it produce an income for me. Please understand that
when I say it's the easiest way to success what I mean is that since you enjoy
doing it you won't mind putting the hard work into it necessary to succeed. A
perfect example of me doing something that I would do for free anyway is that I
enjoy working with computers, so it only seemed natural that I would offer
computer tutoring services and Internet consulting. Another example is what I
am doing with the Motivational Mecca! it takes lots of time to keep it up and
running, but I genuinely believe in the power of motivational thinking, so I
don't count the hours involved.

>Recently the site has evolved into
working towards getting paying sponsors. The IAD List is something that I truly
enjoy and as a direct result of the time I have spent to develop it, it is now
growing beyond what I could have imagined possible. Friends, if you do not do
but one thing in your life, I hope that it will be to do something that you
enjoy...Your friend in cyberspace,
