"One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility." Eleanor Roosevelt, first lady
If I asked you for your outlook on life, I am sure like most people you would have many reasons why there is so much suffering, opinions on politics and probably millions of complaints about the state of the world today regarding violence, terror, disruptive youth, child prostitution, the list goes on....
It seems that we are all experts on life when it comes to talking about it but then, what are we actually DOING about following up on those words?
Are you talking about health yet continuing to smoke, overeat and doing little to take care of your own?
Are you talking about poverty and pointing a finger at 'big businesses' for their apparent un involvement to charities yet continuing to walk straight past the homeless man you pass everyday on the street?
Are you talking but doing little more than moving your lips?
Today I want to challenge is to carry out an assessment on yourself.
Take note of how many times today you talk about doing something versus actually taking action and doing it.
I think you will be surprised at the outcome!
Do not beat yourself up over the answer, just know that one of the keys to success is matching your words with your deeds.

It’s so easy to get caught up with work, family, and other responsibilities that you don’t have time for any fun in your life.

The point here is to break up your routine and make time to have some fun in your life.
2. Work your passion.

You can be the best and have a wonderful life. Of course this will take work and it won’t happen over night but since when has being the best ever happened over night? Here are 3 keys that will help you be the best that you can be.
1. Personal Development.
This seems very obvious but I am always surprised at how many people want to become great but never develop them. You have to be working on yourself to be the best. There are things in your life that need to be developed and grown. If you don’t develop yourself you will never be the best you can be.
2. Get rid of excuses.
You will have to stop making excuses why you can’t be the best if you want to be the best. If the truth be told, you have the ability to do anything you want to do. There are loads of people that have worse circumstances than you that have become great. If they can do it, so can you.
3. Learn from the best.
If you want to be the best you have to learn from the best. The best way to do this is find someone that has had a great deal of success in the area that you want to be great in and learn from them. Soak up as much information and knowledge from them that you can. By doing this you will reach your personal best much faster.

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.

The Challenge To Leadership
Every organization or collection of people, from the unknown tribe in the Amazon jungle, to the ever growing Business in New York City, to the small family in the Outback of Australia requires skilled leaders. It has been said that everything rises and falls on leadership, and it is true. Every group of people fulfills its purposes and potential based on the leadership it is shown.
As a leader you are given responsibility and charge of situations, the challenge to set the vision and motivate others toward it. In every group of people, there will always be leaders. If you do not lead, someone else will. If you do not set the example for your children, someone else will. If you do not set the standard in your work place, someone else will.
As the quote goes 'All it takes for evil to prevail is for the good man to do nothing.'
If you want to be a leader who attracts quality people, the key is to become a person of quality yourself. Leadership is the ability to attract someone to the gifts, skills, and opportunities you offer as an owner, as a manger, as a parent.
People will follow you because of your skills, what you can do and because of your character, who you are. One of the important keys to leadership is refining your skills. All great leaders keep working on themselves until they become effective.
I challenge you today to make a decision to be a skillful and honourable leader in your family, your community and your workplace.

5 Simple Keys To Success
If you want to succeed in life, here are 5 practical steps you can take to help you along the way.
1. Establish what 'success' is for you.
For one person 'success' may be earning $1000 a month, for another person it may be getting the executive position at the firm, for another it may be raising a successful family. Determine what 'success' is for you. Do not base it on another person's goals in life. If you do not establish what 'success' is for you, you will never know when you get there.
2. Find your passion. Find your passion, work it and you will excel. It is so much easier to stay motivated doing something you are passionate about and to reach your goals successfully while enjoying the journey.
3. Determination. Anyone that has climbed to the top of a mountain has the fabulous view all around them of the surrounding cities and landscape, but they have had to climb the mountain side. It took energy, time and dedication. I am sure there were times they wanted to turn back, but they kept going. That is what success if like. There is a fabulous view when you reach the top, but there is a journey and a process to success. Be determined not to give up until you have reached the goal that you set for your life.
4. Train yourself. If you have average skills, you efforts with bring back average results. If you are skilled in an area that you are passionate about, you will be so much more inclined to be successful at it. Take a night class if you need to brush up on skills so that you can maximise the time you are putting into reaching success.
5. Treat other people right. No one becomes successful be themselves. You are going to need people to support and encourage you. Treat the people in your world correctly. Appreciate and thank them and when you do become successful, do not confess to have reached it alone. Acknowledge the people in your world. Success is great, but if when you have all the extra cash, you have no friends or family to enjoy it with, it is just mere printed paper.
