17 Signs You Have What It Takes to Be Successful

Success is not a destination. The following definition made me so happy when I first heard it years ago: “Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.”

How to Dominate Your Emotions and Choose the Life You Want

How would you feel getting being paged over the loudspeakers in a public area, such as a mall or airport, to come to the information desk? Many people say their first reaction is that something bad must have happened.

That reaction is learned from experience and what we were told in life, it has become automatic. The emotions take over and until something happens to contradict it, most people would operate with that assumption and get a little stressed out, until it was resolved.

Emotions have important roles, such as warning us of danger but it’s dangerous to simply react. See what you can do about this.
