How To Develop Into A Better Tomorrow by Mari Taylor

Personal development AKA personal growth comprises the
development of the self. Learn how to identify the different
areas of personal growth and how to use personal development
techniques to improve your personal and professional life.

Personal development, also known as personal growth, comprises
the development of the self. There are many types of personal
development such as inner self, mental growth, physical growth,
metaphysical, and spiritual growth to name a few. It also covers
many different areas of your life such as personal self,
relationships, health, careers, family, financial, and your
social circle.

Personal development can mean many things to many
people that's why there are thousands of different programs
available. It is up to you to find the right one that's a fit
for you and your personal needs. There are important areas of
life that are considered in personal development and growth.
Personal development involves growth in all these areas.
Intellectual knowledge and learning something knew each day of
your life is imperative.

Development and growth in this area will stimulate your mind, stretching your thoughts to remain open to new experiences and skills. Develop your true self, your character, spirituality and emotions and you will become able to
control your feelings, how you view others and your perceptions
of the world around you. Learn to make friends with your self,
and your higher power. If a person has no joy in his heart, he
will not find joy in his life. This will also enable you to have
more desire to improve your physical health.

Exercise will not only improve your body's health, and physical appearance
you'll also feel so much more motivated and mentally relaxed. You'll
find yourself enjoying, experiencing, and exploring more of your
life and engaging yourself into more activities, fun and
adventures. Learning to feel better about your self will also
make your family life so much better.

Make your life more interesting by doing things you didn't normally do but have
always enjoyed. You will have more energy and motivation to do
daily task such as cooking, cleaning, washing, and one of the
most important is quality family time. No longer distancing
yourself from your family, your family will enjoy the change and
will grow closer as well as become proud of your
accomplishments.

Becoming more in-touch with your personal and
intimate relationships you'll develop and grow more aware of
your sensitive side as well as your partners, enabling you to
listen more to your partners needs. Your relationship will be so
much more enjoyable and fulfilling creating a better social
life, friends and develop more long lasting relationships with
them.

You will learn how to approach people you don't know. And
convey the message you want to send. Your working environment
will improve and you will gain more wealth working less. Learn
to be more aware of your finances and money management.
Financial management is one I think we all are working on. When
ever life acts we respond to it.

If something great happens in your life you may be very happy.
But on the other hand if something really horrible happens you may be
angry , upset or even sad. What ever the reaction is it all depends on
you and your attitude. We all chose our feelings and control our
attitude fortunately. So that gives us the ability to control
our reactions to situations as they arrive. What ever you think
about you bring about.

If you don't want negative things in your life change your attitude,
change how you think. Think of and only allow positive thoughts and
beliefs into your mind. You will have positive results in your life. Your subconscious mind is being fed with information every second of the day,
and you are not even aware of it. You need to change your negative
habits to positive habits and learn to take charge of your
thoughts, your feelings and emotions. Think positive, peaceful
and prosperity thoughts. And your life will grow so wonderfully
and you will regain true happiness and prosperity in your life.

Personal development is a daily personal growth exercise that
allows you to enjoy life. I hope you enjoy yours, as I enjoy
mine. I used to be extremely depressed and my life was
miserable. I began an incredible personal development program,
now my life is incredible, my family life, personal life,
spiritually, physically, emotional, financial, it's all great; I
have grown in so many ways. I now do the things I used to love
but had lost all interest in. I have bigger and better goals and
dreams, I get to travel and just enjoy my life without
limitation. My personal development is better than what I
thought possible. I have learned how to enjoy my life to the
fullest and I'm so much happier. You have the opportunity to
find out what’s possible for you.

Does Roger Federer know the "Secret"? by Zoe Routh

It certainly appears so. There definitely seems to be some magic
in the air with this guy's 5th consecutive win at Wimbledon. And
yup, I stayed up past 3:30am Aussie time to watch him do it. It
was totally worth it. He's in tune with the "secret", law of
attraction, and here's how he does it.

The Fed Express is a brilliant tennis player, let's face it.
He's swift, powerful, and precise. He never gives up. He is calm
and focused.

So is the Law of Attraction part of his success? Of course it
is. The Law of Attraction is always in action, whether you are
conscious of it or not. However, with deliberate focus, you can
amplify the flow of energy to serve your intentions. Just like a
magnifying glass can concentrate the rays of the sun.

Here's what Rog did to help create a superhighway of success
at this year's Wimbledon:

1. Supportive environments. He has Mum, Dad, and
girlfriend barracking for him, win or lose. He's got trainers,
massage therapists, and a slew of experts on call. When he
dumped his coach Tony Roche earlier this year, it was because
Tony no longer provided the right support for his game. Tough
call (everyone thought he was crazy to sack him when he's had so
much success under Tony's guidance. But when it doesn't feel
right, it doesn't feel right. Fed trusted his intuition on this
one and it has paid off.)

2. He dresses the part. Say what you will about his white
blazer and pants, it really sets the scene. It says, this guy is
serious, this guy is honouring tradition and all the greats that
have come before him. He dresses like champion, he walks like a
champion, he talks like champion.

3. Using a vacuum. I'm not sure if you noticed or not,
but Federer had four little emblems emblazoned on his sport bag:
Wimbledon champion 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006. The little emblems
certainly reached out to next one - 2007. And it was the same
for the winner's roll at Wimbledon itself - the long list of
players with the last four Roger Federer, Roger Federer, Roger
Federer, Roger Federer. Another 'Roger Federer' seem to be drawn
to it magnetically. In fact it was only moments after the last
point was hit and Roger fell to the ground in relief that
officials were filling the 2007 winner's spot with his name, for
a fifth time.

4. Crying. OK, I don't always recommend crying as
manifestation practice. What I do want to point out here is that
when Roger rolled on the court and wept, what he was letting go
was gratitude. It was so palpable you could almost taste it.
This guy was relieved for sure, but also so grateful for his
win. He was also grateful and honoured to be following great
players like Bjorn Borg (watching from the stands.) And if you
haven't had a good cry recently, go ahead and do it. You know it
feels good!

Good on you, Rog. You show us all how to reach just a little
further and come up trumps.

Are You Living Your Life To The Fullest?

Do you feel that the life you are living right now, if not the live you were meant to lead. It’s just too boring for words. You feel that you have got yourself into a rut and can’t think of anything exciting to do or have nothing to look forward to.

You feel your life has become too repetitive and want to change but don’t know how.

So you want a change in your life? You need to find the person with the solution. Don’t worry, help is at hand. All you need to do is look in the mirror for the solution is YOU! You're the master of your destiny. You are in control of your life.

OK so looking in the mirror was the easy part. You still need to decide on what you what…and no concentrating on what you don’t want. We all have a dream of what we would like our lives to be like. This vision, or hazy dream, is something you can work on. Perhaps you have a dream to work for yourself, go to university, change your career.

There are many people who want to improve their lives, but are too afraid. Where they are right now is comfortable. Why risk stepping into the unknown. It might not work. Don’t let excuses like this hold you back. There are many opportunities to explore, why not try some.

You may face challenges and obstacles, but if you move forward, just a little step at a time, you'll be amazed at how much more you will get out of life.

Your life can be as exciting as you want it to be. The choice is up to you. Are you satisfied with your life? If not, make some changes to make it the life you want it to be. Only you can make your life complete and meaningful.

You only live once. Make the most of opportunities that come your way. Take up that invitation to go a salsa class. Do things which will leave you happy lasting memories. Live every day as if it's your last.

Don’t let your life be full of regrets. Seize the moment.

Don't Let Panic Attacks Ruin Your Life

Heightened anxiety, or better know as panic attack, for some people can be a daily occurrence. For some people the feeling of heightened anxiety is something that happens but we are able to keep it under control.

Anxiety can work in our favour. It can keep us ready for action, fight or flight, and it can also keep us psychologically alert. These exercises can be good but only up to a certain extent or. If we let them get out of control, things may start to get out of hand and we feel we are no longer in control of our emotions.

When we are overwhelmed with a panic attack, we have one of two choices. We can either face it or get away from it, fight or flight mentioned earlier. Given a choice, would you face panic attack and experience its full impact, or would you rather retreat or run away from it?

If we relate panic to fear, the two are similar in a lot of ways, the easy choice would be to avoid it. But there is always a great chance that it will reoccur again and again. Whatever is causing your panic attacks will keep you on edge as you wait for that trigger moment to come.

Given this kind of a situation, it is apparently more logical to face panic attacks. Fight it, or accept it, whichever turns out to be a better option, and experience its full impact. There is a saying that “experience is the best teacher.” It is also true that when you have had previous experience on a previous occasion, you get to handle the situation better the next time because you already know how to deal with it. A panic attack is not a physical ailment, even with the physical side effects of sweating, shortness of breath and palpitations.


The more experiences you have of dealing with the situation, the more confident you become. And when you are confident, what you used to fear will not make you fearful anymore. The more instances you are able to handle it, the more capable you will be each time it occurs. In the end, you will perfect the art of handling panic attacks, from fearing panic attacks to handling it remarkably in a positive way. That’s an achievement.

How To Adapt To Change

One of the main reasons that may stop us from reaching our
goals and desires is our inability to be flexible.

This fact may be hard to swallow, but it's true. We do
everything we can to eliminate any type of suffering in our
lives, yet challenges and pressures can bring out the best
in us.

If you have made mistakes in the past, and let’s be honest, who hasn’t, learn from them and then forget them It’s time to move on. Some people tend to focus on how bad their lives have been due to these mistakes. As a result, they remained stuck and miserable.

Treat your mistakes as a lesson to be learnt. Apply them as a learning
resource in all your future plans.

If you invested in a business and you lost money, don’t let this stop you from seeking out new opportunities. Some people would remain deeply discouraged for a long time and their personal lives would be affected.

Don't be like this. Use what you have learnt in the past as a valuable lesson. If you're afraid to fail, then you risk all your chances to achieve your goals in life. Try again; but this time, be more careful and use your past mistakes as guide maps.

If you try, at least you get a 50% chance of getting what you want. But if you did not try at all, you have absolutely no chance of attaining your desires in life.

Let's fast forward into the future. Let's say you did try,
and you succeeded. Congratulations. So you became wealthy by reaping the fruits of your commitment and persistence.
Be prepared. Problems may rise, so always be ready to adjust to
the current situation. The only thing permanent in this
world is change.

If you need to sacrifice something for a better cause,
then do it. If you have to miss your favourite show on
TV, or if you have to deny your friends' invitation to go
out on a Saturday night so that you can devote more time
to those activities that will lead you closer to your
goals. So be it. It will be worth it in the end.

You may encounter difficulties. You may receive criticism.
You may even be regarded as being "different" or "strange"
by other people. Don't let them discourage you. Just
keep on striving, and success will be yours.

Easy Tips to Get You Motivated

Do you find you give up when you think you are facing failure? It seems too difficult to carry on when it doesn’t seem worth the effort.

Before you give up completely perhaps you need to look at your motivation.

To succeed you need to reassess the way you think and reject all the negative words in your mental dictionary. You need to change your
focus, and concentrate on finding the right solutions with utmost conviction and patience. The battle is never lost until you've abandon your vision.

If you feel you have already exhausted yourself, physically, mentally, and emotionally here are some motivation tips to help you get back on track to help you reach whatever accomplishment or goal you want.

1) Imagine you have already reached your goal

Imagine how you would feel after accomplishing your goal. Will you be overjoyed, pleased with your success. What will reaching your goal mean to you. Make this feeling real by visualising it everyday. Make it feel as if it has already happened. You are more likely to reach your goal if it seems real.

I have used this myself in setting up my own business and to take me to the next level of success.

2) The Reward System

Reward yourself after you accomplish a goal. Set a particular incentive for every objective.

What your rewards may be depends on what your goal is. If you are trying to lose weight, a new hairstyle or manicure could be a reward once you lose 7lbs.

Reward yourself with something indulgent after completing
a certain undertaking.

3) The Power of Like Minded People

To help you succeed, being with people who support and encourage you will benefit your immensely.

Try and be with people who have the same aspirations and goals as
you. Positive energy is generated by this collective energy from people of "like minds."

Try to limit being with people who do not share your vision as their
thinking may trigger a negative, yet very powerful, kind of
motivation.

Remember when someone said to you that "You'll never get anywhere" or "You're wasting your time with what you're doing?"

It may have made you angry and determined enough to prove
them wrong. Be wary of this sort of motivation.

When you are angry, you may do anything to make those who are
against you eat their words. But, remember, your focus should be on reaching your goal and not for the purpose of proving other people wrong. Never let other people change your emotions toward
what you want to achieve.

4) Take Care Of Yourself

We all know the benefits of exercising regularly. We need to ensure our brains are filled with enough oxygen to allow us to do our daily tasks with more enthusiasm and energy.

Try to take regular breaks. Know your limits. Having abundant will power to persevere no matter what is very important, but if something is not within your area of expertise, always ask for help or outsource a particular element of your project if this is feasible.

Going without rest and sleep will stop you thinking clearing and you will not be able to do all that your want properly.
You will just get more frustrated.

Never, ever ignore your health. It's not worth it. Success will mean nothing to you if you don’t have good health to enjoy it.

Fire up your motivation and live life to the fullest!
