Be Yourself
For the girl that has ever looked in the mirror and wished for longer hair, bigger lips, smaller ears, a thinner figure, whiter teeth, wider eyes, better make up, a prettier smile........this is for you!!
Have you ever noticed when you walk down Shop Street, or Grafton Street or any high street for that matter!? that girls all tend to dress the same? Yes there are differences of course in styles, colours, shapes etc, but everyone is trying to be someone else, trying to look like someone else, trying to fit into a mould. And do you know what the ironic thing is? You are best at being you, not being your sister, your best friend, the girl from the Rimmel advert or new TV soap.
You were made YOU and guess what? You are amazing, you are unique, you are priceless, you are treasured, you were designed, not just thrown together, you are a masterpiece. You were not an accident. You are here at this time for a reason. You are best at being you. Do not try and be anyone else, do not try and fit into a mould that was never made for you.
And sure nobody is perfect, we all have made wrong decisions and mistakes, but do not focus on them. Focus on the fact that YOU are amazing, not the person beside you, you're husband, cat, dog or best friend. YOU are amazing. Learn to like yourself and life will be so much better.
Embrace what you have. You may want a smaller figure, different family, prettier smile, and while you can change some things, others you just have to learn to accept and embrace.
Be You, because you are Beautiful.

5 Keys To Setting Goals You Will Achieve
Setting goals is the foundation of achieving anything in life. If you do not know where you are going, how will you know when you get there?
It is vital to set goals, but so often people set unachievable and unmeasurable goals. Here are a few keys to help you set goals that you can actually achieve.
1. Set A Deadline. Diana Scharf Hunt said it correctly Goals are dreams with deadlines. Set a time frame for your goals. If you have began a new business, set a time frame on it. If you are not making what you need to within that time frame, pack it in. Do not look back and move on.
2. Be Specific. When creating your goals, be specific. If you want to earn more a month, how much more do you want to earn? If you are striving to lose weight, how much do you want to lose a month?
3. Create Measurable Goals. Create a goal that you are able to measure and see the progress so you can evaluate it and see if you are achieving it.
4. Create Inspirational Goals. As this quote goes Motivation is when your dreams put on work clothes. You have to create goals that you are motivated and inspired to achieve.
5. You Are Responsible. The responsibility to achieve the goal, must fall on you. If you were creating goals to lose weight and you said that 'whenever my spouse goes jogging, I will go with them,' the responsibility is not on you, it is on your spouse. The sole responsibility to reach the goal, must fall on you.

IS IT IMPOSSIBLE OR IS IT JUST HARD?
"Do not assume it is impossible because you find it hard. Recognise that if it's humanly possible then you can do it too."
Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor
Very often when you find something hard to achieve, you create a series of rationalizations, justifications and explanations that whatever it is that you are attempting is impossible.
Yet, when you think about it, you are only fooling yourself. No, worse than that, you are LYING to yourself! Marcus Aurelius was correct!
If it is humanly possible, if there is another human who can do it, then it is definitely possible for you too.
So it's not impossible... it's just hard.
What are you trying to achieve that looks impossible to you? Maybe you want to create a great relationship with your teenager, or start up your own business, or take a new college course so you get a promotion in work. Seek out someone that has been successful at what you are trying to achieve. Ask them was it always easy? Did you ever feel like giving up? Did everything go wonderful all the time? You will find out that it was not 'impossible', because they were a successful at it, but it was definitely not always easy.
You see, it is hard to motivate yourself to work toward the impossible. After all, impossible means you will NEVER get it done no matter what you do.
Hard, on the other hand simply means that some level of effort is required before you get what you want. You just have to want these things bad enough in order to tolerate the work that's required to get them.
How many 'impossible' things in YOUR life are really impossible and how many are simply hard?

Self Confidence - How To Develop An Amazing Self Confidence
The lack of self confidence can be a paralyzing thing in life. You may want to do great things in your life but because you don't believe in yourself you actually become your own worst enemy. Here are 3 keys to developing an amazing self confidence:
Self Confidence Key #1 - Start small.
To many times people try to build their self confidence by doing something big right from the start. While this may work at times it usually has a negative result. The reason being is this, if you try something huge to build your self confidence and fail that means that you failed big. This doesn't help you to believe in yourself at all. Baby steps are usually best that way when you fall it doesn't hurt as bad. When you master the baby steps start taking bigger steps.
Self Confidence Key #2 - Create a team of support.
Don't try to build your self confidence all by yourself. You need people around you that will encourage you when times get tough or when you are feeling down. Even if the team consists of you and one other person at least you know that there is someone there that will encourage you.
Self Confidence Key #3 - Don't quit.
As long as you don't quit you will develop you self confidence. It may not be as fast as you would like it to be but even small growth is better than no growth. If you quit there is no way that you can build your self confidence. Just make a decision before you ever start that no matter how hard it get's or how long it takes, you won't stop until you develop the self confidence you want and deserve.

3 Keys To Avoid Burnout
This article will help you check yourself for burnout. It helps you look at the way you feel about your job and your experiences at work, so that you can get a feel for whether you might be at risk of burnout or not.
1. Too much to do in too little time.
Take a look at your lifestyle and your workload. Do you feel overworked? Are you are being too accommodating. Should you let people know that you have too much work to do? Should you be politely turning down new work that people pass you? Remember that you will have to say “no” at some stage, otherwise your commitments will get bigger and bigger. You must learn to say no to commitments that you should not take on, otherwise you will be in severe danger of becoming intensely stressed and exhausted.
Check that you are using all the resources that are available to you in your work place. You may find another employee has an intern and you are entitled to one too. You could take a time management course.
2. Avoid exhaustion.
Exhaustion is one of the main reasons people become burnt out. The importance of sleep and rest is vital if you feel you are on the verge of burning out. Going on a good long holiday is a great way to avoid burn out. Be well prepared so that you do not have to bring your lap top or mobile. Ensure it will be as relaxing as possible without the distractions or pressure of work. Forget about it all for a week and enjoy the sun. It will do you good!
3. Protect your passion for the job.
Another major factor in burn out is disillusionment with your work, especially if you are somebody that gets great satisfaction out of their job. It is important to protect the parts of your job that give you the most satisfaction. Think of the people you serve. If you burn out, they will not get the benefit of working with the enthusiasm that loving your job creates.
There is a lot of things you can do to avoid becoming burnt out. The first thing though, is to check if you are at risk, and if so, take this seriously and take action.

Inspire Others To Dream More
"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more,
do more and become more, you are a leader"
--John Quincy Adams - 6th U.S President
We often consider leadership as a position that is granted
to someone who is a leader! Someone who is confident,
educated, wise, a good public speaker, and passionate about
what they do!
However, this quote suggests something different. You are
a leader simply when you inspire those around you!
Today, make a conscious effort to inspire the people in
your world. Inspire them to dream bigger, to dig deeper,
and to never give up on their passions.
Sometimes people just need someone to believe in them.
Because part of finding your own greatness is the ability
to inspire others to find their greatness.
Make it a point to believe in somebody else today.

Are You Dissatisfied With Your Job?
Are you dissatisfied with your job? Are you looking for a New Career? Do you dream of finding a job that you love?
You can have a career that you love, the only problem is, most people are afraid to make a move. What if it's not what they hoped for? What if they end up losing their current job? What if it does not work out and they lose money? The steps below will help you if you are thinking about a change in your career.
1. Why Do You Want to Change?
The first and most important step is to discover why you want to change your job. If the problems you are trying to avoid have nothing to do with your job but involve external circumstances (such as a troublesome co-worker or disrespectful supervisor), you may be able to improve your current position and love the job you already have by bringing your issues to the attention of your superiors.
2. Do Your Homework.
Research the position you are looking into. Making a career change can be a very exciting experience, but make sure you do not dive in without properly thinking it through and researching it.
3. Get Experience.
How do you know if you are even going to enjoy the job once you have it? If possible, get experience in the field you are looking into. Talk to current employees that are doing what you want to do. If you have friends who are working in the job you are thinking of applying for, get in contact with them. Find out what they like about it. By doing this, you will have a better idea of knowing if the change you are thinking about making is the right change for you.
4. Give It Time.
Before you do anything, put the idea of changing careers in the drawer for at least a few weeks to let the initial excitement die down. This will ensure that you're not making a life-changing decision on a whim or passing phase. Best of luck!

4 Keys to Staying Motivated
Staying motivated is easy when everything is going well, but it not always last! We have to renew it each and every day. That is okay. It does not make motivation a bad thing. You simply have to realize that if you want to stay motivated over the long term, it is something you will have to apply yourself to each and every day.
1. Have a goal for your life.
If you do not have a goal, then what are you moving toward? The root word of motivation is “motive.” The definition of motive is, “A reason to act.” This is the cognitive or rational side of motivation. It is your vision. You have to have a vision that is big enough to motivate you. Set out a vision and a strategy for getting there. Have a plan and work the plan.
2. Fuel your passion.
It is much easier to be motivated to do what you are passionate about. Set yourself on a course to have a consuming desire to reach your goals.
3. Work hard and get results. The harder you work, the more results you get, and the more results you get, the more it will motivate you to work harder! Start with a small achievable goal. Aim to lose a few pounds. When you have, it will motivate you to work toward losing more.
4. Surround yourself with motivational material.
Find good material that will motivate you toward where you want to go. Read books that teach you new ideas and skills. Read books that tell the stories of successful people. Buy them, read them, and get motivated! Buy great music and listen to it. It gets you going and motivates you!

5 Ways To Keep Me Away From Your Church
Christian churches should be filled with people when the doors open, but often times they are not. I have listed below practical reasons why people do not attend church.
1. The church has no website. In todays world, people live online, shop online, communicate online. Why is the church always the last to catch up? Create a website that is up to date, easy to navigate through and well designed. Yes it will take from your pocket, but it will assist people in finding your church.
2. The church is completely inactive in the community. If your church is doing nothing in your city, you are not reaching new people. When you get active in poor estates, with the homeless or in the local prisons, people start to talk about you and what you are all about. Simple acts of kindness in your community will attract people to your church.
3. Annoying Customer Service. Many churches may not have the staff to answer phone enquiries during business hours, but the least you can do is have an answering machine! It is very frustrating for a person to call to make an enquiry about service times or events and not be able to speak to anyone or leave a message. It sounds like a very simple thing to do, but you would be amazed at how many churches do not have an answering machine.
4. There is not adequate seating or parking. There is nothing more frustrating than driving around for 20 minutes looking for a parking space which makes you late into the service and then you are not be able to find an empty seat. If you need to create another service on a Sunday morning to accommodate your members, do so. If you need to get more parking attendants, do so. Make church enjoyable for people to attend.
5. Visitors are ignored. Train volunteers in the church to make sure that new comers are looked after and feel welcome. Have 1st time visitor packs with information about what goes on in your church life and where they can get involved. Contact new members either by phone, email or letter to welcome them and let them know they have been added to your mailing list.
These are all practical things that you can start to put in place to attract people to your church.

Leadership - How To Become A Pioneering Leader
Leadership - How To Become A Pioneering Leader
by Jason Osborn
Leadership is one of the greatest responsibilities that you can have on this earth. Unfortunately, most people don't really know how to lead in a way that makes them a great leader. If you are a leader, or aspire to be a leader in some area of your life, make a decision that you are going to be a leader who makes an impact, not just a leader who tells people what do. So how do you do this?
All great leaders have gone where no one else has gone. They are the ones that go off the beaten trail and make a better one. Ralph Waldo Emerson says it like this, รข€˜Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. This is the sign of a great leader.
Great leaders blaze a trail so that countless others can follow behind them. Think of great leaders such as Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., Thomas Edison, and Oprah. All of these people have become known as great leaders because they have created knew ways of thinking and doing things. They saw that the path the world was on was not one that served the world its best.
What is on the inside of you that you know is off of the beaten path that will help those around you and possibly even the entire world? As stated at the beginning, true leadership is a great responsibility because you will be forging a way the others to follow. Decide today that you will become a great leader; one that goes where there is no path and leave a trail for the betterment of the world.
