1. Stop Trying to Make Things Happen

Working hard is a virtue. But we believe that we “must make” something happen or we “have to get” something or make goal X happen, which is thinking from a cause-effect world and one in which everyone and everything is separate. On a scale from 1 to 10 from a mentality of lack to abundance, it is somewhere near the bottom. Taking action from such place often ends up spinning wheels. On some level we believe that results and success are directly proportional to the amount of effort and energy we expend, which just isn’t true.

 2. Look for Where the Energy Lies

Look for where the energy lies in your world and work with that. Simple but not easy because doing so means doing things counter-intuitively — counter to how we’ve been conditioned. Maybe the problem isn’t where you think it is. Maybe it is, but the solution isn’t to tackle the problem and rather to work with the things, people, resources, etc. that are influencing the issue or problem.

3. Get Clear on What You Really Want & Allow It to Happen Through You Now

When first measuring performance and actual social/economic/political impacts in organizations, I got curious about what individuals were doing to move their causes further — and why some couldn’t. What I discovered is that the blocks to having or achieving what you want are not simply out there. They’re not ONLY out there. Similarly, the energy you’re looking for isn’t only in some location outside of you to work with, and then ta da once you find them you’re on your way. It’s right here at home with you.

By:   Deborah Brown Have you given up on your dreams? Would you like to get them back? Many of us give up on our dreams. Often our dreams slip away without our even realizing it. Our dreams are who we are. They give us an incentive to get out of bed everyday. They are the reason we were born, and our destiny to fulfill while we are here. They are within your grasp. And yes, they can come true. It's up to you to decide if they will. What can you do if you've given up on your dreams? Follow these easy steps: Remember you are worth it. You deserve to live your dreams. Recognizing this is the hardest and most necessary step. Most of us think that only other people get to live their dreams. Only other people are lucky enough, not us. We think we don't deserve it but the only thing these thoughts do is keep us from moving forward. Remember that your dreams are important. Once you know how important living your dreams is to your health and mental well being, then yo

7 Effective Ways to Develop Your Negotiation Skills

1. Practise Saying ‘No’ Human beings are programmed to be non-confrontational. From a young age, we’re taught to follow orders or else get punished, and as adults, we’re taught the same thing. Time and again, we’re told to ‘let it go’ and ‘just go with the flow’ so we don’t upset the client or the boss. This lifelong habit of avoiding confrontation and just saying ‘yes’ weakens your negotiation skills. But not to worry; you can still reprogramme your mind by practising saying ‘no’. You can start with something small like going home on time or refusing to work extra hours, especially if you’re already raking in too much overtime. If that seems like a big step for you, then you can start by saying ‘no’ to that annoying colleague who loves sabotaging your healthy eating habits by tempting you with a piece of chocolate cake. These might seem like small steps, but taking the opportunity to say ‘no’ to minor instances will help you say ‘no’ to bigger things – whether it’s
