Facing Challenges Requires Character

"The true measure of a man is not how he behaves in moments of comfort and convenience but how he stands at times of controversy and challenges."

~Martin Luther King Jr.

We all face adversity at some time or another.  We all have challenges in our lives.  Our lives don't always run smoothly.  When we face challenges and controversy bravely, meeting it head on, it tells others about our character.  It is easy to face life when things are going smoothly.  But to take on the challenge takes courage.  When we face life with courage, we have the capability to achieve our dreams.  To do that, however, requires that you believe in yourself and your convictions. 

This week:  Do some thinking about how you handle challenges.  Do you face them head-on?  Do you try to avoid them?  Do you sacrifice your convictions in order to placate others?  Think about how you have faced up to the challenges your life so far.  If you don't like what you see, make a commitment to change it.  Examine your beliefs.  What do you believe in SO PASSIONATELY that you would stand up for it even if others didn't agree?  This week experiment with expressing that belief in a few settings.  Notice what happens.

Unleash the Power of Your Thoughts

"Man's greatness lies in his power of thought."

 ~ Blaise Pascal

It is true.  Humans can think, dream, and create through their thought processes.  Anything we can think of, we can achieve.  Our brains are designed to help us manifest what we think about.  When you harness the power of thought, there really is nothing you cannot do.

This week:  Do some dreaming.  Think about what you would like to accomplish this year.  Think about what you would like to create if you knew you could not fail.  Spend some time just thinking about your life and how you would like it to be.  What changes would you make if you could?  Imagine that those changes have ALREADY been made.  How is your life different?  Allow the power of thought to begin to make those changes for you.  Just notice what your brain and your thoughts are creating.  It may not happen overnight (although it MAY), but you may find yourself making gradual changes because you had those thoughts.

Linda Pucci, Ph.D. is a psychologist, life coach and expert at helping people design the lives of their choice.  She has several programs to help people reach their goals, banish self-sabotage, and find their life's purpose so that they can live more meaningfully.  For more information, go to http://www.innerresourcecenter.com/ .

Your Thoughts Are the Key to Reaching Your Dreams

"Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Thoughts are things! And powerful things at that, when mixed with definiteness of purpose, and burning desire, can be translated into riches."

~Napoleon Hill

When you set a goal or state your intention, you set in motion a powerful process.  Our minds--our brains, actually--can turn what we think about into reality.  Quantum physics has shown that thoughts can change the properties of matter.  That is a powerful force.  But to use it effectively, your thoughts and ideas must be combined with a strong motivation to turn them into reality.  Goals can do that for you, if you set goals that are compelling and emotionally powerful for you.  Your brain can create your blueprint for achieving them, and hurry to attract the resources necessary to "make it so." 

This week:  Think about one main goal you would like to achieve this year.  Make it something you feel strongly about.  Make sure it is powerful and emotionally compelling.  Write it down.  Think about it in your spare moments.  Let your brain create a plan for achieving it.  Ask yourself : "What would I need to do next to reach this goal?"  Let your brain supply the answer.  Let your motivation to achieve that goal carry you forward.  You are on your way!

Linda Pucci, Ph.D. is a psychologist, life coach and expert in helping people achieve goals they had not thought possible using her solution focused approach.  For more information about HOW she does that, go to http://www.innerresourcecenter.com/ .  You will find additional resources and programs designed to help you achieve YOUR goals.

Live in the Present Moment

"Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin."

~Mother Teresa

As we start a New Year, it is important to recognize that yesterday--the past--is gone.  We can learn from it, but we shouldn't stay stuck in the past.  That doesn't serve us.  Nor does it serve us to be so oriented towards that future that we forget to pay attention to today.  As you begin a New Year, why not focus on each day.  Why not live each day fully and in the moment?  When you do, it changes how you perceive 2010 and what each day brings.

This week:  Just for this week, focus your attention on TODAY.  Let go of the ghosts from the past.  Move on.  Savor each experience you have this week.  At the end of each day, notice by reviewing the experiences of the day and savoring the challenges and the triumphs both.  Each have something to teach you.  When you live TODAY, you can learn from each experience.  That is a gift to carry forward.
