Investing In You
Filed Under Ebooks | Leave a Comment
Okay so this isn’t really an article but it is an ad for a book that I am promoting through a program called Low Stress Income. The name of the ebook/manual is Investing in You – Beyond the Power of Positive Thinking.
Anyway, here is the sales copy for the manual:
Have you struggled to get the things you want in life?
Have you purchased endless courses and tape sets to learn how to be effective?
We all have.
But are they working for you?
I’m willing to bet that you may have seen some results but the programs failed to deliver the big promises
they made.
This is because some of these guru’s are successful but just aren’t good teachers!
What does this mean?
These guru’s may have achieved incredible results themselves but they just don’t know how to bring out everything that they did to get there in their courses.
Maybe they aren’t intentionally hiding anything from you but there are things that happen in their unconscious mind that bring them the results they get.
I can show you the unconscious secret that they can’t show you:
Thanks,
Keith Stieneke
PS. Take control of your mind, your heart and your life!

upbeat, Cultivating the right attitude to thrive in tough times
Filed Under Performance Improvement | Leave a Comment
Many times I have referred to Rajesh Setty in this blog, especially referring to information from his book Beyond Code, Learn to distinguish yourself in 9 simple steps!
Rajesh sent me his new book, upbeat, Cultivating the right attitude to thrive in tough times, a few months ago.
When I reviewed Beyond Code, I did it as excerpts relating to personal development. Although, there was a great deal of information in upbeat, that could be related to personal development, I decided for the time being rather than to review the book based upon each concept and idea presented to review it in its entirety. The review that I wrote is published on Facebook.

The Importance of Self Discipline
Filed Under Self Discipline | Leave a Comment
If we don’t discipline ourselves, the world will do it for us. – William Feather
Discipline is a choice not a legacy…
Discipline is nothing more than the process of focusing on any chosen activity without interruption until that activity is complete.
Discipline is something you do and not something you have.
You therefore have the freedom to choose to act with discipline and decisiveness.
To become what others refer to as a disciplined person requires
only that you “do discipline” over and over as a conscious act until repetition makes discipline a subconscious habit.
Doing discipline means that you choose not to allow fatigue or interruptions to become an excuse for inaction or a change of plan.
* Discipline is the ability to stay focused on your chosen action path
without detour, distraction, or interruption
* Discipline is the ability to keep all agreements with yourself
and with others, without blame, excuses or caving into obstacles.
* Discipline is the ability to show up on time, everytime.
* Discipline is the ability to complete important personal or business
projects on schedule and on budget.
* Discipline is the power to keep going forward,
when everything around you seems to be pulling you back.
The result? Discipline generates trust and confidence in yourself,
and attracts trust and confidence from others.
The constant act of discipline magnifies your power to accomplish at least 1,000 percent.
If you put off everything “till you’re sure of it, you’ll get nothing done.- Norman Vincent Peale

Making Permanent Changes
Filed Under Making Changes | Leave a Comment
Change is difficult but often essential to survival. – Les Brown
Sometimes we must make permanent changes in the way we deal with and view certain parts of our lives such as dealing with relationships, weight management, money management and so on. This short blog post is about the main component essential to these changes, that being responsibility.
Making permanent changes in your life requires responsibility. Otherwise that change will be temporary.
That responsibility according to personal development guru Anthony Robbins is done only by accepting three core beliefs:
1). Believing we must change is not enough, it must change.
2). You must be responsible in other words say I must change it, and
3). I created what I’m experiencing, therefore I can change it.
Change your thoughts and you change your world. – Norman Vincent Peale

Pain can be your friend if you use it effectively.
Filed Under Getting What You Want | Leave a Comment
Are you getting what you want?
Anthony Robbins in his book Giant Steps – Small Changes to Make a Big Difference talks about the very real fact that in order for you to get what you want that you must discover what’s been preventing you from taking action. Think of something that you’ve avoided doing until the very last minute.
The example that Anthony gives is of those who put off doing their taxes until the very last minute. But what happens on April 14th? Procrastination disappears and we quickly change what we associate in our minds as bringing us pain or pleasure. Not taking action suddenly becomes more painful than simply doing your taxes.
You may ask how you can use this insight to make changes and to help you get what you want in life. It is a matter of changing the question that you ask to “If I don’t take action now, what will this ultimately cost me?”
Pain can be your friend if you use it effectively.

We are what we think about
Filed Under Law of Attraction | Leave a Comment
Proverbs 23:7 states: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.
This is not your typical article about the Law of Attraction as this is about how the things that cause happiness or unhappiness, positive thoughts and results or negative thoughts and results affect our lives and who we are. Before you can apply the Law of Attraction you must break out of negative thought patterns.
This blog post is about mind-sets and how these mind-sets affect our way of living either positively or negatively.
According to the thefreedictionary.com a mind·set or mind-set is:
1. A fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines a person’s responses to and interpretations of situations.
2. An inclination or a habit.
If your mind is cluttered with unorganized thoughts it is likely that your living or personal work space is cluttered. If you visualize positive outcomes to situations then most likely you will enjoy the physical aspects of those outcomes.
If you have people in our life who are always complaining and arguing and bringing their negativity to you it is quite possible that their mind-set will affect yours. Although it may be difficult and something that you don’t want to do, it may be best to distance yourself from those people who bring you down, at least until such time that their attitudes have less or no affect on yours.
Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
ANTs is an acronym that stands for Automatic Negative Thoughts. If my research is correct and feel free to let me know if it isn’t, the terminology was coined by stress researcher and Viennese physician Dr. Hans Selye.
A simple approach to break away from such thinking is as follows: First, NOTICE that you’re trapped in the vicious cycle of automatic negative thinking (ANTs). Then, decide to BREAK THE CYCLE by using a “thought stopping” statement Finally, find something to DO that takes your concentration, interest, and focus AWAY FROM those old negative, vicious-cycle thoughts. (Thanks to http://www.anxietynetwork.com/hstop.html)
Here are the tell-tale signs of ANTs:
Automatic
* You don’t decide to think them. They are like a habit so it may be hard to not think them.
Negative
* They make you feel bad about yourself. For example, “I’m useless”.
Believable
*They will seem true and you may accept them as facts. They are often biased and distorted by your mood.
It is important to catch these thoughts so that you may stop them:
Use your feelings as a cue.
If you ever notice a sudden downturn in your mood, try to identify the thought that caused it
Watch out for events that make you sad
If there is a particular event that often leaves you feeling low, ask yourself why. See if you can isolate any thoughts you had that made you feel bad.
If you would like to break away from self-defeating thinking and developing new ways of dealing with life and getting the things that you want you must realize the following:
The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind. -Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
So change your state of mind, that is your mind-set and you will change your life.

High Energy can be yours
Filed Under Physical and Emotional Energy | 1 Comment
Occasionally I will do a post on this blog about a product that I believe can help you in someway to improve your life. Energy is a subject of importance to many people. I am not talking about energy such as electrical power rather I am referring to the get up and go that some of us have these days. In other words I am using energy as related to vim and vigor. Ebullient vitality and energy, as in he was full of vim and vigor after that swim. This redundant expression uses both vim and vigor in the sense of “energy” or “strength.” If you suffer from fatigue or other such low energy symptoms then what I am going to mention in this post may definitely help you.
The product that I am referring to here in this post is called High Energy and is available for only $15.97 for a 30 day supply. Some of the benefits of this all natural supplement are:
- Increases energy and alertness.
- Strengthens immune function.
- Relieves stress and improves oxygen levels.
- Acts as an antidepressant.
- Increases sexual interest.
- Mobilizes blood sugar from the liver.
- Promotes a healthy nervous system.
If you are interested in finding out more about this product such as the ingredients that it contains I would suggest checking out the High Energy page.
Hopefully this product can be as helpful for you as it has been for me. Thanks in advance.

Distinguishing Yourself Through Leadership
Filed Under Leadership | 1 Comment
Leadership can be thought of as a capacity to define oneself to others in a way that clarifies and expands a vision of the future. – Edwin H. Friedman
Well, it’s finally here and before Christmas also. I am referring to the last installment about Rajesh Setty’s steps to distinguishing yourself summarized from his excellent book Beyond Code: How to Distinguish Yourself in 9 Simple Steps.
The last step in the process that is also the last step in what Rajesh refers to as the outer game to distinguishing yourself is leadership.
Rajesh uses metaphors when dealing with this topic. He states “rocks in the path can be a defining moment.” Leadership happens when someone deals with the rocks. It is not tied to any position. A leader is simply someone who will go beyond the call of duty, which gaps to fill in an organization. Rajest suggests to be ready for your leadership moments, as only those who are ready for such moments will emerge as leaders.
You do not lead by hitting people over the head – that’s assault, not leadership. – Dwight D. Eisenhower
