Concentration

1. Your outside is a reflection of the inner you . “For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.” I think this is a wonderful quote and in my experience a very true one. How other people see you aren’t just about cheekbones and a good sense of style. People view people through filters in their minds. A kind person may seem more handsome when you get to know him. A handsome person may suddenly not seem that attractive as you are confronted with her negative attitude. And this goes for pretty much any meeting or relationship you have with someone. What you feel and think has a big impact not only on you. It’s also spread to the people around you. Emotions are contagious. And people form opinions about others oftentimes in subtle and almost unconscious ways. Now, this may sound a bit silly or like it’s not of that great importance (I certainly used to thi

Motivational Affirmations For Your Life A great way to get motivated is to use  motivational affirmations. Using affirmations can change how you think about yourself and how you view the world around you. These positive statements can bring you the motivation you seek, as well as happiness, joy, and passion. When you’re feeling negative or down, repeating affirmations can immediately improve your mood. Even though affirmations can work immediately, don’t think of them as a quick fix.  Positive affirmations are most effective in the long-term so you can get what you deeply desire out of life. When you use affirmations, you are literally reprogramming the way you think. You replace your negative self-talk and doubts with positive, motivating thoughts. Eventually, these positive thoughts become reality. These motivational affirmations work because they push away the negative thoughts that are limiting you day in and day out. You can leave your negative thinking in th

When people tell you all the reasons you'll fail, or when you try to do something but receive a less than perfect outcome, avoid taking to heart. People always have opinions, and they can be - and usually are - wrong. Each failure can be a stepping-stone if you turn it into one. Even professional athletes and actors make mistakes.   It's okay to be human! Your successful outcome may arrive next month, next week, or even today. When you stop before you complete your goal or dream, you lose the chance to see yourself completely fulfilled and reach the destiny that you were created for.  You just might be hours away from your goals! How to Keep Moving Forward Moving forward is critical to reaching your goal, and you can find ways to keep going each and every day.  When you look for ways to move ahead, you inch closer and closer to your goal.  As you see it getting closer, you'll put in a greater effort to reach it. That speeds up the process and it makes you happi

The Benefits of Improved Concentration: Be more productive.   By devoting your full attention to whatever you're doing at the moment, you'll produce better quality work in less time.  It  really is  this simple! Be a better friend.  Conversations are more pleasant if you feel like others are really listening to you. Paying attention to others will help you appreciate your family and friends, and understand how to support them when they need it. Feel more peaceful.  Many studies have found that multitasking makes people  slower  and  less  effective at performing various tasks. Trying to do too many things at once can cause stress and make you feel less alert. By contrast, focusing on one thing helps to calm your mind. Training Your Mind To Concentrate: Focus on one thing at a time.  Place your mind on whatever you're doing in the present moment.  Think about how you act when you're engrossed in a thrilling movie or a new romance and try to duplic

Everybody wants what feels good. Everyone wants to live a carefree, happy and easy life, to fall in love and have amazing sex and relationships, to look perfect and make money and be popular and well-respected and admired and a total baller to the point that people part like the Red Sea when you walk into the room. Everyone would like that — it’s easy to like that. If I ask you, “What do you want out of life?” and you say something like, “I want to be happy and have a great family and a job I like,” it’s so ubiquitous that it doesn’t even mean anything. A more interesting question, a question that perhaps you’ve never considered before, is what pain do you want in your life? What are you willing to struggle for? Because that seems to be a greater determinant of how our lives turn out. Everybody wants to have an amazing job and financial independence — but not everyone wants to suffer through 60-hour work weeks, long commutes, obnoxious paperwork, to navigate arbitrary corporat
