Don't you just hate to use the 'N' word? You want to say no but it's difficult. Difficult because you believe there's a negative consequence in saying no.

There are several common reasons ...
This is my second “How to be positive” post, here I take a crack at how we can be positive when we're already negative to begin with. I’ve always been advised that I should quickly and immediately replace negative thoughts with positive ones. My first reaction to that was always: “Easier said than done, Sherlock!” Here’s the thing, when I’m feeling negative, I think about negative things. ...
This is a simple guide on how to solve any problems, old or new, based on what I’ve observed and learned in the course of solving some of life’s inescapable problems – Financial, Health, Individual, Relationship, etc. Every once in awhile, we come head-on with a foreign problem that requires more than just recalling the known solution because there is no memory or experience to be drawn ...
Being positive is about reading situations positively, taking positive action in response to situations, and maintaining a positive and proactive attitude at all times. We live in a world of duality: Good-Evil; Day-Night; Love-Hate; Yin-Yang; Positive-Negative. In this, life presents us with choices. It’s only difficult to be positive when you choose NOT to be positive. The following ...

However, there are some misconceptions about being positive; some think ...

What is Confidence? Confidence is the belief and assurance that you can rely and count on someone or something. Self confidence on the other hand, is the belief and assurance that you can rely and count on yourself. The purpose of building confidence is NOT just to feel good about ourselves or to boost our self-esteem (though it is handy in these areas as well). Having a strong sense ...
At some point in our lives comes a time when we need to know how to be brave to overcome life’s biggest and most feared hurdles. In this current era, bravery is probably not spoken of as often as in the past because the physical threats we face today are considered little or virtually non-existent. Whilst a fair point (since there’s no threat of going out in broad daylight to have a hungry ...
Knowing how to be strong and being strong are two very different things. On a typical day, people can carry on with their lives without requiring much strength. These are the days when everything seems just fine; even though you may occasionally whine at the weather, complain about the traffic jam or about other people’s driving, etc. Once in a while though, life throws something at you ...
One of the main principles of success is persistence. Persisting is to continue even when faced with great difficulty and opposition. If your strategy of making money fails, would you just give up and say: "This doesn’t work, let's try something new." ? Vince Lombardi said, "Winners never quit, quitters never win." And I’ve always thought to myself – How wise, but how is it done? How does ...

Are you one of those people who always complained "I wish the weekend were longer so I could do more things" ? Or "I wish I can get more things done during the weekend" ? Well, I was.
