Creating a feeling of value & self-worth !

"Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time."

My though-for-the-weekend :

Today I’d like to share with you an article that I came across in 1986 while attending the ‘College of Du Page’ in the Western Suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. This was also the year I first experienced ‘The World of Psychology‘ (I recall that I did not like talking or thinking about change, and tried to avoid it like the plague).

Also, during this period of my personal journey/personal growth; my ‘English Professor’ had me write a report (on any subject) to assess my writing skills. (As any schooling up until this point in my life had been in Scotland.)

Anyway, I don’t know why . . . but the topic of my choice was self-esteem. Isn’t life funny, back then I couldn’t even spell ‘Philosopher‘ and now . . . I are one!

To my friends in the United States, as Jackie Gleason would say, ‘Har de har, har !‘ And what is it they say on ‘Saturday Night Live?’

IF IT’S NOT SCOTTISH . . . IT’S CRAP!

The milestones of our life’s journey !

I do hope you have enjoyed my little introduction to this weekend’s article; as much as I have enjoyed sharing this milestone with you!

Please take the time to share your thoughts about today’s Xqisit Quote : The Station

Let today’s milestone give you  www.ASENSEOFDIRECTION.co.uk towards your personal success !

But uttermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering – waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.

When we reach the station; "That will be it!" we cry. "When I’m 18." "When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!" "When I put the last kid through college." "When I pay off the mortgage!" "When I get a promotion." "When I reach the age of retirement. I shall live happily ever after!"

Sooner or later we must realize there is no station, no place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.

"Relish the moment" is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 118:24. "This is the day which the Lord hath made: we will rejoice and be glad in it." It isn’t the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.

So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.

Please take a moment to share your thoughts!

Your Gateway to Lifelong Personal & Professional Development

This is your time to plan and design the life that you imagine!

• Unlock your potential. If there were no limits on what you could accomplish, what would you be, have, and do? I will offer a simple key that will show you how to make those potentials real.
• Take charge of your life. Imagine that your favourite reasons for not having a perfect life are all fake. I will show you how to let go of all excuses and make progress in every "problem area" of your life.
• Create your own future. Imagine this: Your finances are exactly where you want them, your family and personal lives make you happy, your health and fitness are ideal, and your calendar and daily schedule are exactly the way you want them. I will show you why such a future is within your reach and how you can make it happen.
• Clarify your values. Describe your pictures of the ideal person, the kind of person you would most want to be if you had no limitations. I will show you seven ways to get crystal clear on that. Only then will you be able to achieve results that will bring you fulfillment.
• Determine your true goals. If you could have anything you wanted, what would you wish for? I will give you seven simple exercises that will bring to light what you should really be focusing on. Otherwise you could waste years "chasing the wind," as the saying goes.
• Discover your purpose in life. This is one goal that will help you achieve virtually all your other goals in life, and it must have four characteristics in order to work.
• Measure your progress. If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. I will show you six ways of measuring your progress that can transform your life into a fun game that you always win.
• Remove the roadblocks. Why haven’t you already achieved everything you want in life? I will show you how to identify what has stopped you in the past. This is the biggest part of the solution. Then, I will offer you five ways to remove all obstacles that get in your way.
• Become an expert. There are eight ways to identify and determine your special talents, and what you are uniquely suited to do. Once you’ve determined your most powerful gifts, you can then use the "three plus one" formula for mastering any skill to propel yourself to the top of your field.
• Meet the right people. I will show you five key secrets of professional networking. This will allow you to connect with the people who will bring you the opportunities you’re looking for.
• Make a plan of action. In the process of planning, there is usually one major problem that must be solved before other problems can be addressed. By making your plan and writing it down, you will be able to identify this problem as well as the vital elements of the plan that deserve most of your time. I will show you the five key components of every plan and how you can revise your plan effectively when the situation warrants it.
• Manage your time well. In order to accomplish anything, you must have control of your time. This requires self-discipline, self-control, and self-mastery, all of which can be learned. By following the five steps that I offer, you will develop these skills and manage your time so effectively, you will free up several extra hours a day.
• Unlock your inborn creativity. Most experts believe we use less than 10 percent of our natural brain capacity. Using five secrets I have learned from worldwide experts in brain functioning, you will learn to tap reserves of creativity you never knew you possessed. Then you will apply that creativity towards practical ends such as doubling your income.

In all, you will learn the principles required for always getting what you want. (Availability Limited)
