Last week’s “oops” reminds us that all of us could use a little coaching in some area of our life.

Learn how to make those New Year’s resolutions stick. You need to change your self-image.

Energy in Your Life

It is important to examine your beliefs, and if they are serving you well or not.

You can move forward in life with the help of a life coach.

Mental Health

Loyalty and trust are essential if your mastermind is to help bring success to everyone in the group.

I have a rule that I will not ask someone to do something that I wouldn’t do myself.

Budgeting Money

Change is inevitable. How we adapt to those changes is what is important.

Examining our beliefs is not easy, but in today’s ever-changing world it is necessary.

Budgeting Time

We know that education is one of the most valuable things a person can have. So let’s start acting like it.

T.O. cannot win football games all by himself- although you would think he could, according to him.

Budget Time and Money

Are you ready for what life may throw your way? Planning on how we are going to react to situations can make us be better at life.

We must accept change and adapt to it if we are to move forward in life.

A Pleasing Personality

When we stop growing and learning, we lose our personal strength. Keep growing, keep learning, and keep doing.

Life is an adventure. Don’t be afraid to take advantage of what can be yours. Success can be yours. Are you ready for it?

Practice your persuasion

If you are afraid to fail you will never move forward in life. Failure is inevitable. How we deal with failure is what makes the difference.

Reading is something we should all do but don’t. Reading feeds your brain. So why don’t more of us do it?

Finding self-discipline

Change gives us the opportunity to explore our lives in totally new ways. We live in a time that is ripe with opportunity.

Couldn’t it just be the weather? You won’t believe what some people are saying caused the hurricanes.

How’s your enthusiasm?

Knowing when to keep your mouth shut will help you at work and in your personal life.

It’s time for everyone to take a good look at character, values, and goals.

Don’t quit

Who says you can’t reinvent yourself? It’s up to you to take the first step.

People who have to always be right have limited mental models. Don’t let yourself become one of them.

The next success characteristic: a positive self-attitude.

You can’t succeed if you don’t try, so don’t let fear paralyze you.

Donald Trump says people don’t change. We say, “If they can’t, what’s the point?”

What do you need to do to change your attitude?

Was the late Bob Denver’s crazed Beatnik successful? Step says “Yes.”

We can learn important success lessons from Charlie Brown’s “loserliness”

Who do you need to help you start realizing your goals?

Starting today, Life Motivations brings you the Dynamic Success Newsletter. Every week we will bring you information to further make your success happen, new challenges, contests, and insights.

The Life Motivations Success Dynamic Newsletter is taking a week off as we prepare for the rollout of our new, exiting format that will premier next week; meanwhile, we thought the best use of our emailing list this week was to get the word out about some of the many organizations mobilizing to provide aid.

How many of us take a stand? We live in a fabulous country that allows us the opportunity to take a stand. Yet many of us don’t.

If you have been with us these past weeks, you have pared down your list to things that are important to you that you want to accomplish. Now take some time to contemplate how will these things effect your relationships with the people around you. Give it some thought and write it down.

I am grateful for what I have and I am thankful for what I am about ready to receive.

Last week I had everyone write down everything that they could think of that they wanted in life. Now I want you to pare down that list down to a maximum of 10 things and write those down on a piece a paper. Carry these things that you want around with you wherever you go for the next week. Keep these things in mind throughout each day.

At what point do you stop and give up the whole thing called life, what reason would you have to give up?

Write down everything that you want in life. Take your time, even a few days, and as you write down the things that you want you will be visualizing a new goal set that you want. Really try it- think about the things that you want in life, and write them down. How do you feel after this?

The most important of all of the rights that I would like to explore are the rights you have for yourself.

Write down all of the things that you want in life on a piece of paper- not just material things, but personal and spiritual things that you may want in your life.

Imagination is usually considered the power of being able to form images that are not directly from experience. Imagination could be sensations that we may have. Where would these imaginations come from? How do we get them, and why do we get them? What can we do with these imaginations?

Try relaxing and using your imagination to think of the best weekend that you could have, then have it!

Experience teaches us that the truth changes. You may ask, how is that possible that the truth would change?

What present thing do you want now? How many of us don’t know what we what to do even when we get home tonight?

You know when someone may want to steal your dreams away- not because they don’t love you, but because they do love you. They say, “Please be realistic and reasonable about what you want”. They don’t want you to get hurt. They want to help you, but they also don’t want you to get too carried away, because if you dream something and it doesn’t come true you will be hurt.

Let’s pick a dream- any dream, large or small, and let’s write that dream down on a piece of paper.

Do you think that people don’t want you to change and grow, or do you think people want you to stay the same? Some people may even wish for your failure. Why would that be?

Don’t take to heart everything someone tells you. You are a good person.

How do we know the time is right to make it happen for us?

We tend to focus on the negative, so why shouldn’t we congratulate ourselves on the good accomplishments that we have had in our lives.

What is it that you are choosing to have in your life? Are you choosing success? Or are you choosing failure? Are you choosing to be safe, or are you choosing to go for it? What are you choosing in your mind- fear and uncertainty, or a worthwhile risk to see what else you can accomplish? Are you choosing that you can succeed and that you can have victories in accomplishing some things that would be important to you?

Remember that merely choosing to change is not enough; you have to change the picture in your mind to affect change.

This is your life, what do you want to do? Has it ever occurred to you to do what you want to do? Not that I am suggesting shirking responsibility. But who are we responsible to first, someone else or ourselves? Of course we are responsible to ourselves first, how can we not be? Charity begins at home. Take care of yourself before you take care of others.

What do you believe you will do tonight at home? How about this weekend? How about you picture something happening that you wouldn’t ordinarily do, and do that this weekend to give yourself the confidence that you can change, that you can do or be something else.

Linda Martinez was 29 when she took her own life. Linda graduated from USC, and had a fabulous career going on. She was a musician that was actually getting work- and a lot of it.

My son asked me what I do for a living yesterday, and I told him I try to help other people be better at what they are doing, and so I talk to people. He said, “Daddy can I do that? I want to be in your business.”

You are what you think. You can be depressed, you can be a rock ’n roll star. How you become either one is by thinking that it is your now, your present state: “I am depressed”, or “I am a rock star.” What if you changed your thinking?

I own a philosophy company. Just a little over a year ago I was a General Manager of a large automotive dealership. Today I talk to people about philosophy, rather than cars or the automotive business. Some people thought I was crazy to give up a good job and open a philosophy company, and for that matter not many people have heard of a philosophy company before. Some people still think I’m crazy, and I call them Dream Killers, but more on that later.

This week let’s work on influence. Who is going to influence you this week: You or somebody around you?

Think for a moment of your life and marriage as a blank canvas ready to be painted. What will determine whether it is a masterpiece or a horrible mess? Is it the color of the paint? Is it the condition of the canvas? Or is it the skill, inspiration and visualization of the artist? Yes, it’s the skill, inspiration and visualization that will determine the masterpiece.

I have written several articles about this, the Unworthy Syndrome, the Imposter Syndrome, being teased or losing at something at a young age that stays with you in life even though it was something most of us would have let go.

Start your day off with positive self-talk to yourself.

It is called prematurely, or involuntarily, retired. Let’s start with some facts from the Bureau of Labor. From 2001 through 2003, 55 to 64 year olds were 13 percent less likely to find new jobs than 25 to 54 year olds: 57 percent to almost 70 percent. Older workers are taking pay cuts to stay in the corporate world.

Here we are, going to Pakistan. No, no, no, not Newsweek going by the written word, but something even weirder: a foot race in Lahore, Pakistan.

Every time you are judgmental in some way, say to yourself, “gotcha”.
