Knowing what you want is an important aspect of achieving success. In fact, it is often the  difference that makes the difference. Many people are experts at knowing what they don’t want, but to achieve success, you need to focus on what you do want. The “Know Your Outcome” strategy is based on the idea that what you focus on expands. The more you focus on something, the more likely you are to achieve it. This is due to the reticular activating system in the brain, which helps to filter out unnecessary information and focus on what is important. To implement the “Know Your Outcome” strategy, you need to follow five steps. The first step is to state what you want in the positive. For example, instead of saying “I don’t want to be fat,” your outcome might be “I am going to become healthy and lose 5 kilos.” The second step is to specify your present situation. You need to know where you are now in order to figure out what steps you need to take to reach your desired outcome. The thi...

Working in a team can be a challenging and rewarding experience. The concept of Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing (FSNP) describes the four stages of psychological development a team goes through as they work on a project. Teams move through each stage as they overcome challenges, learn to work together, and eventually focus on accomplishing a shared goal. 1. Forming: The first stage of team development is about defining objectives, and individual roles, building trust, respect, and interpersonal skills. It’s also about developing norms and identifying the resources, skills, and information needed to achieve the team’s goals. Having the right dynamics in a team is essential for success. As Henry Ford said, “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is a success.” 2. Storming: In the second stage, conflicts and competition in personal and professional relationships come to the forefront. It’s crucial to establish a common vision, roles, resp...

We live in a world where people are often judged based on their looks, background, education, and social status. However, history has taught us that these things are not the only factors that determine success. In fact, some of the most successful people in the world have faced incredible obstacles and rejection before achieving greatness. What made them stand out was their unwavering belief in themselves. Think of Albert Einstein, who didn’t speak until he was four and didn’t read until he was seven. His family and teachers thought he was mentally challenged. But he believed in himself and his abilities, and went on to become one of the most brilliant minds in history. Or consider Thomas Edison, who was thought to be stupid by his teachers and even his father. Yet he refused to let their negative opinions define him and went on to invent the light bulb, phonograph, and motion picture camera. These examples prove that success is not just about natural talent, but also about perseveranc...

Enterprise is better than ease: How much time and effort should we put into a project that we are working on. Keep in mind, our philosophy about our activities and our attitude about hard work will have a direct effect on the quality of our lives. What decisions we make about the ratio of labour to rest will establish our work ethic. Enterprise is always better than ease. Every time we chose to do less then we could, our self confidence will take a direct hit from this error in judgement. If we continue to repeat this process we will soon not only see ourselves doing less, but more importantly perhaps is being less than we could. The good news is we can reverse this process however. At any time we can decide to develop a new discipline of doing math than putting off. Every time we choose action over ease, we develop an increasing level of self-worth, self-respect, and self-confidence. At the end of the day, it is how we feel about any activity that provides the greatest rewards. It is ...

A parable to start today’s article: A master was set to travel to distant lands. But before his trip, he called three of his servants and gave each of them a talent according to their abilities. To the first servant, he gave five talents; to the second, two, and just one for the last servant. Then he went on his journey. The first two servants went and put their money to work. While the last one dug a hole in the ground and hid what he received. When the master came back, he asked the servants what became of the talents he gave them. The first one proudly replied that he gained 5 talents more with what the master had given him. The second servant also earned two talents more than the initial two he received. When the third servant came forward, he told his master what he did claiming that he did it out of fear. Obviously, the master was very happy with the first two servants. As a reward for what they did, he put them in charge of more things and invited them to share his happiness. As...

We cannot Succeed By Ourselves: Everyone needs other people to help them in achieving their dreams. The attitude of others affects each of us and the attitude of each of us has the capacity to affect all of us. We become a powerful force when each of us understands how powerful all of us are and when all of us understand how valuable each of us is. Imagination is the starting point of all progress. Our attitude about the interconnection of each of us to all of us and all of us to each of us has a great influence on our future. Appreciating Self-Worth is the beginning of progress: What would happen if we took to read the books, took the classes, and discovered new ways to refine our philosophy? What would happen if we developed a new attitude about the past, present, and future? What would happen if we all change our feelings about one another and the importance of each individual to our collective? Just imagine the incredible effect on the future. We each possess enough mental, spiritu...
