Setting Personal Development Goals Will Lead To Life Success

By Michael McGrath

The role of Personal Development and Self Improvement is to help you achieve your goals in life. Both are designed to give you the skills you need to achieve whatever it is that you want to achieve. But can personal development or self improvement really improve your life situations?

Well, the purpose of both is to do just that. They are both just tools that are used to ensure you will succeed in your chosen life areas. They are designed to help you become happier on the inside and more satisfied with what you have on the outside in any are you chose to apply them!

So how do you start to set goals that truly lead to self improvement, more freedom, happiness and a better lifestyle for you and your family and ultimately more success? This question is not simple to answer because success means different things to different people. Therefore, if you want to become successful you must first have a clear understanding of what success means to you!

A fantastic way to get a clear on what success means for you is to ask yourself the question, "what would I do if I knew I couldn't fail?" Let your mind roam freely and immerse yourself in your inner vision. This vision will give you the clue that you need to unravel the mystery of success.

At an early age every human being knows what they want to do with their lives. We develop dreams and ambitions at a very early age. However as we grow older we are conditioned to believe that these dreams are not possible or are mere fantasies of our imagination. We are told to get an education, a good job, get married, have kids, a mortgage and holiday once a year with our family. By the time most people reach their mid twenties they have all but given up on their dreams or even forgotten what those dreams are. They have become conditioned into believing that they are incapable of achieving what they want in life. This fundamental belief forms the foundation of their self image and the rest of their mental attitudes are build upon it!

It is the role of personal development and self improvement to remove these conditioned mental attitudes from your inner mind and free you to pursue the life course that you chose for yourself. Through the use of personal development and self improvement you can begin today to remove mental conditioning that you received from well-meaning family, peers and teachers. In addition you will also be directed to remove all those negative mental attitudes that have been given to you by not so well-meaning people and those you have developed yourself through negative life experiences. This is not always an easy journey nor is it always enjoyable but the rewards that you receive are a thousand times the effort required.

The freedom that you can experience from removing just one negative mental and negative emotional pattern is akin to the feeling of rest and tranquility you feel after extreme physical exercise. Removing numerous negative mental attitudes and emotional stress from your mind and body is a feeling and experience that is truly hard to describe to someone who has never experienced it themselves.

Jesus Christ said, "seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you": Matthew 6:33. By removing the negative mental and emotional attitudes from your mind you free yourself to reach your goals. Let me explain.

For instance you may have a desire to be wealthy and thus set a personal development goal to become financially free. There are thousands of different ways to achieve this goal. There are thousands of methods you could follow and plans you could set in motion that would bring you closer to this goal. Millions of people have gone from rags to riches. So, why does following a plan work for one person and the same plan will not work for another?

It is due entirely to the difference in attitude and mental conditioning!

There are at your disposal numerous personal development and self improvement methods that are designed to help you achieve this goal. Now these tools and methods are not designed to show you the way to become financially free but instead are designed to free you from your own inner resistance to being financially free. Many people think this is a waste of time and would prefer to be given step by step instructions to build financial wealth and I was once one of them. Yet however hard I tried and no matter how many plans and formulas I followed my financial situation actually grow worse.

Why was this? Were the plans I was following just not good enough to create wealth? Were the people peddling these rags to riches methods merely conning me out of my money? Was gaining wealth just pure luck like winning the lottery?

The answer to all of the above questions is no!

The plans I followed had worked for thousands and made them rich! The people selling me the products and methods had all made their fortunes using the very same techniques they were trying to teach me! I later found out that gaining wealth had nothing to do with luck!

It wasn't that these things were not good enough to produce the wealth I craved it was that I THOUGHT I wasn't good enough. When you hold a negative self image and have a negative view of yourself and your abilities it is very difficulty to achieve success no matter how much effort you put into it! This is why it is of paramount importance to first remove the negative conditioning that is holding you back in life.

Your attitude, which is only composed of thoughts and feelings, is responsible for your actions. Thought is the creator of action! Every action you perform, no matter how small or big, first begins in your mind as a thought. Each thought begins as a feeling. Think of when you met your last partner. You first felt the attraction. Then you had the thought that you would like to meet them. Then you performed some action to make that happen. Think of the last time you went out socializing. You had the feeling that you would like to have some fun, or be with your friends, were feeling lonely etc. Then you had the thought. Then you performed the action.

If your actions are motivated by your thoughts and feelings and your attitude is composed of thoughts and feelings do you think you could succeed at a given task if you hold a negative mental attitude about it or your ability to succeed at it?

Once you embrace personal development and begin to use any of the myriad of self improvement tools to remove your negative mental attitudes you will naturally find yourself becoming more successful in life. You actions will be more positive and you will unconsciously perform the correct actions that will lead you to success. I am sure you can know see how important it is to set some personal development goals. Not only will you see improvement in your self, you will also see many symptoms of success added unto you!

Self Development Is Critical to MLM Success

By Lee Reffel

Most of us tend to have challenges when attempting to do something new. This is especially true when you are trying to promote or brand yourself to other MLM leads or business prospects. It takes a lot to conquer your own self; you have to learn to deal with the negative and master it. "Don't put up the walls. The same wall that keeps out disappointment keeps out happiness. Take down the walls go for the experience, let it teach you" Jim Rohn - self development author and speaker.

What does it take to realize success, learn mental toughness, and master your own philosophy, the sort of person that people want to pursue and believe in, the leader people look up to and will stand behind. Becoming the successful person that you envision yourself to be takes a combination of things. One, it takes the willingness to change. At some point you have to take a stand against where you are falling short or the areas of life that are giving you the most difficulty and assess the situation. This is easier said than done, but it often is what helps you find the breakthrough instead of the breakdown.

In order to accomplish this, the main uncertainty might be" What is holding me back and what do I have to let go of?" Once this is figured out, the next step is the commitment to work on these areas, create a plan and stick with it until the new positive actions become habit. Whether in MLM or any other occupation, we all have to face this truth if we want to achieve more out of our lives. Secondly, investing in yourself is of utmost importance. Re-directing where your funds goes and channeling it towards learning in the form of seminars, self development courses, and live conferences are all building blocks to success.

A few books I highly recommend to help with becoming success minded are How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, and The Pursuit: Success is Hidden in the Journey by Dexter Yager. These are two of several books that have had a profound transformation of how I thought and my overall outlook and mind-set towards life. Also I recommend reading as much as you can everyday.

For example, Brian Tracy, a highly successful person in business and a self-help author recommends reading at least an hour in the field you wish to develop in each day. Whether it is in sales, internet marketing, how to recruit MLM leads or any other profession that is important that involves a high level of competition, this is wonderful advice because in a short period of time, you will become the expert in your field.

This is just some basics to getting on track. The reward for implementing these ideas will pay huge dividends and while the bulk of people will probably just quit. Success is yours as long as you do not quit!

Your success Matters!

High Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity Foods Yield Anti-aging Properties

Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a test tube analysis that measures the total antioxidant power of foods and other chemical substances.

First research reports suggest that eating high-ORAC fruits and vegetables--such as spinach and blueberries--may help slow the aging processes in both body and brain.

ARS Administrator, Floyd P. Horn, states, "If these findings are borne out in further research, young and middle-aged people may be able to reduce risk of diseases of aging--including senility--simply by adding high-ORAC foods to their diets."

The studies revealed high-ORAC foods:

o Raised the antioxidant power of human blood 10 to 25 percent

o Prevented some loss of long-term memory and learning ability in middle-aged rats

o Maintained the ability of brain cells in middle-aged rats to respond to a chemical stimulus--a function that normally decreases with age

o Protected rats' tiny blood vessels--capillaries--against oxygen damage

The health community has long held the thesis that oxidative damage culminates in many of the maladies of aging. The evidence has stimulated sales of antioxidant vitamins. However, the early studies have mixed results.

Nutritionist Ronald L. Prior posits, "If we can show some relationship between ORAC intake and health outcome in people, I think we may reach a point where the ORAC value will become a new standard for good antioxidant protection."

In a second study, men and women had a 13- to 15-percent increase in the antioxidant power of their blood after doubling their daily fruit and vegetable intake compared to what they consumed before the study. Just doubling intake, without regard to ORAC scores of the fruits and vegetables, more than doubled the number of ORAC units the volunteers consumed, Prior said.

While the research jury is still weighing the evidence, one company has hit the market place with a product, few can resist. Xoçai(TM) has capitalized on the natural antioxidant properties of chocolate and combined it with Blueberries and Acai. Acai is a plant with the highest antioxidant rated fruit on earth.

This product is 'a dream come true' for chocolate lovers everywhere. Xoçai(TM) blends the world's best antioxidant ingredients into a delicious dark chocolate beverage, rich dark chocolate nugget, and health-packed chocolate protein bar. They are truly unique! Xoçai(TM) claims a 3,120 ORAC per 12 oz. nugget of dark chocolate. Each Xoçai(TM) protein bar contains an astonishing 4,066 ORAC units! And because Xoçai(TM) is made from whole, natural foods, its antioxidants are in a form your body can easily absorb and use. (ORAC tests conducted by the USDA and Brunswick Laboratories.).

This product seems like the ideal way to 'Have your cake (candy) and eat it too," with healthy benefits of antioxidants and satisfying the chocolate lover's palate.
