5 Easy Steps to Gain Back Your Confidence, and Belief

I hear you saying, “But I can’t have that (fill in the blank), because (fill in the excuse).” How about “I’m too _____ to ever be good at _____.”

Some of these beliefs about yourself are a little less logical but just as limiting. “He never listens to me.” “She’s not will to do this or that for me.” Your story could be drastically changed with some simple challenging questions.

How to Direct Your Life to Fulfill Your Vision

Will Smith plays a conman, in the movie Focus, who teaches a young con artist the skill of redirecting people’s focus so you can pick their pockets.

In my twenties, I learned about this skill the hard way, by getting cheated while exchanging money. It’s not an easy lesson to forget but somehow we don’t apply it to the bigger picture of our lives and the time that stolen from us every day, when we fail to choose what we focus on.

What Makes a Good Life and Happy People?

About three hundred years ago, King Frederick II of Germany wanted to know what language a baby would grow up to speak, if they were left to develop on their own and not taught a language.

He assigned 50 babies foster mothers, who were tasked to care for but not hold, touch, or talk to the babies. The experiment failed because all 50 babies died. You can see that another person’s TOUCH is an absolute necessity for a child to LIVE and develop healthily, but we really do need each other a lot more than that, if we are to have a good, happy life.
