You have probably heard this saying at one time or another. It may be such a cliché but it is true. Every person, no matter how introverted, still reacts with others. The truth is, every person cannot just live alone, no matter what he does. And because people interact with others, these people around him affect what kind of person he is. In fact, the whole environment of a person has an effect to his character. But mostly though, its the other people around that influence the character of each individual. sharon.subs@rediffmail.com (Sharon Eiffel) Wed, 01 Aug 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.businesscurrents.net/articles/1150/1/Desire%3AThe-Fuel-for-Success Desire and our ability to want is often the primary reason we achieve our dreams. Take for instance, Abraham, who wanted a child so badly that he had the strength to believe in the promise of God and move forward, despite his age, until he had that child he so strongly desired. sharon.subs@rediffmail.com (Sharon Eiffel) Sun, 22 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.businesscurrents.net/articles/1149/1/The-Amazing-Power-of-Thought The human mind and our own individual thoughts, as well as the actions resulting from those thoughts, are one of the most powerful influences on everything that exists, everything that has existed, and everything that ever will exist. By just the power of our mind, we can create! While human thought does hold the power to bring things into existence and we can bring about change through directed thinking, our minds alone can not create the peaceful existence we each long for. sharon.subs@rediffmail.com (Sharon Eiffel) Sun, 22 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.businesscurrents.net/articles/1148/1/The-Dynamic-Effects-of-Attitude Successful people typically have one thing in common and that is their way of thinking. A driving ambition and unwavering perseverance pushes those who enjoy success to chase their dream and that same wilful attitude allows them to catch that dream as soon as they have the chance. Successful people know that anything is possible. They see a new opportunity around every corner and know that they can enjoy the happiness and triumph they desire. Buddha said that a man is what he thinks all day long. Success is determined by a persons attitude and their outlook on life. A person who thinks positively will seem to sail through life trouble free, while those who think of failure see all sorts of obstacles in their path. Not everyone can enjoy magnificent wealth and an affluent lifestyle, but the majority of our population fails to reach even the potential they are capable of. Instead of forging ahead and working harder to reach our goals, we give up and force ourselves to be content with less than we desire. Henry Ford summed up the power of attitude in a single sentence. Those who think they can and those who think they cant, they are both right. With the right attitude and mindset, we can do the things we dream about. We all know that it is possible to do the impossible. Weve all shocked ourselves, as well as others, at some point in each of our lives by allowing our minds and our mental perseverance to push us to do the seemingly impossible. When we focus on an attitude of success, the exceptional talents we each possess can reach their full potential and carry us to our goals. What you do and the achievements you attain is influenced greatly by the way you think. Everyone has a dream. Whether you see your dreams become reality, enjoying success and prosperity, or you spend your life chasing those dreams, never seeing any real accomplishments, depends almost entirely on your attitude. So many people spend all their time and energy working towards their goals, but have a negative attitude. Their thoughts are directed by the problems in the world, not the possibilities. Constant fears of scarcity, poverty, and failure create obstacles in the path of their dreams and these negative barriers leave them stranded in an unsatisfying life. So how, you may ask, can I adopt a positive attitude of success and live my dreams? It is as simple as changing your way of thought! While some people have a natural attitude of success and face every challenge with a conquering assertiveness, most of us have to make a conscience effort to think I can rather than thats impossible. Dont doubt your own abilities. Instead, push yourself forward and keep trying. Most of the time, our own negative thoughts and uncertainty in ourselves is the only thing really keeping us from a successful life. Set goals for yourself and when you face challenges, offer yourself positive encouragement and spur yourself onward. A can-do attitude will make all things possible and will keep your head high when others would give up. When you reach your first goal, you will see a new boost of confidence in your abilities and it will soon be natural to enjoy success. Failure will no longer be your way of thinking. It is important to never forget that a successful attitude incorporates selfless thinking as a way of life. To achieve true success, we must concentrate on improving life for all humanity, not our own lives alone. Wallace Wattles, author of The Science of Getting Rich, instructs us to direct our energy toward creativeness rather than competition. True success comes from the ability to serve others, not the ability to accumulate wealth, power, and fame. With the right attitude and an anythings possible outlook you can enjoy a truly successful life. By concentrating on what is best for everyone, as well as yourself, you can achieve ultimate satisfaction, both inside and out. ©Sharon Eiffel.

While I believe you should always ask more than you tell, there are times when asking questions will not help you. washington@think6results.com (Valarie Washington) Wed, 19 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.businesscurrents.net/articles/80/1/Five-%26%2339%3BMores%26%2339%3B-to-Enhance-Your-Performance When you think about the most successful, happy, fulfilled people you know, you could probably identify some characteristics these people have in common. Several years ago, when thinking about that question, I identified several things that those people shared that I wanted to incorporate into my habits more consistently. Below are five actions that when these actions are taken more often, they will become habits that will greatly impact our performance - in all parts of our life. authorinfo@businesscurrents.net (Kevin Eikenberry) Wed, 05 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.businesscurrents.net/articles/76/1/Developing-the-%26quot%3BBoth-and%26quot%3B-Mindset Typically people have an "either or" mindset which inevitably leads to suboptimal solutions, and under satisfying compromises. By switching to the "both and" mindset you can become more successful and paradoxically create greater clarity and balance in your life. authorinfo@businesscurrents.net (Kevin Eikenberry) Mon, 03 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.businesscurrents.net/articles/75/1/Perseverance-is-What-You-Need-to-Reach-Your-Goals Almost everyone in the world has a dream. Some people work hard and reach their goals, make their dreams come true, but many others quit at some point on the path to success, sometimes losing a great deal of energy, time and money they had spent until the minute they quit.Only one thing could save these people from failure when they were so close to success: perseverance. authorinfo@businesscurrents.net (Sevim OR) Mon, 03 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0500
