Dispelling the Darkness of Fear, Part 3
You must eradicate your fears because of the inevitability of crisis, and a crisis is a time of intense difficulty—when you are forced to make a decision you were not prepared for. It’s the moment when you come face to face with the fire-breathing dragon of your fear. If you react in fear, you reinforce the lesser part of you. If you act with courage, you depart from the lesser part and strengthen your better self. It is these moments of difficulty that determine what you become.
Dispelling the Darkness of Fear, Part 2
The root of fear is the unknown. It’s why you’re afraid of the dark. It’s why you’re afraid of harmless insects. It’s why you’re afraid of the future. It’s why you’re afraid of almost anything. And when you’re dealing with the unknown, your mind will create a false reality through your imagination. Discover the power of your imagination in dealing with fear.
Blame Game: Recognizing that YOU are Your Problem and Solution
Real empowerment comes when you don’t feel powerless, and if you’re blaming something other than yourself, you’ll always feel weak and unable. The more you realize that you are both your problem and your solution, then the greater sense of strength and responsibility you’ll experience.
Motivation is No Mystery. Here’s How You Get More of It!
Motivation is not difficult, because you’re already motivated to do what you do whether it’s beneficial to you or not. Even the most lazy person is motivated in their laziness.

Staying Focused by Banishing Distractions
Look at what preceded some of your failures, and you’ll find your adversary, broken focus. Look for the times you quit, and you’ll see how the demons of distraction brought you down by poisoning your mind with a thousand temptations. It’s the diversions of life that weaken your resolve, and it’s the power of focus that makes you the master of your future. If you can purge the unwanted remains of what distracts you, you can purify your mind for achievement.
Why Search for Your Destiny When You Can Choose Your Destination?
I don’t speak of destiny, but I will talk a great deal about destination. There’s a huge difference. A destination is simply a place that YOU’VE decided to go, and that’s the point. YOU make the choice about what your future will look like, and YOU decide how far you will go with your gifts, talents, abilities, and resources.
Dark Path: Finding Your True Way to Achievement
True, lasting success is not luck. It’s not the result of you just swinging in hopes of hitting something. Achievement in any area of life or business comes by consistently following the strict principles that govern success in those areas. To do that requires regular wise judgments and the discipline to stay on mission. You have a designated course, or path, and the challenge is to remain on it.
Why Achievement is NOT Like Climbing a Mountain
AC/DC sang, “It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll,” and this is the mentality of 99% of motivational thinking. Everything is pictured as an uphill battle. Success is described as reaching the top of a steep mountain, which means that you only fail because you either slipped and fell or didn’t have the strength to climb. Either way, that analogy provides you the opportunity to dress up failure in excuses. There’s a better way!
Stubborn Persistence: What It Takes to Exceed the Limits of YOU!
Just when you think you’ve tried everything, you haven’t. When you’re convinced there’s no way you can solve your problem, reach your goal, or change your situation, you haven’t even scratched the surface. Solutions abound around you, but it’s your “perspective of possibilities” that halts you in your tracks. Why do we give up too [...]
