10 Ways To Always Be Yourself And Live Happily As you were probably told when you were in elementary school, “Just be yourself.” You can be a much happier person once you figure out who you truly are and when you learn how to be yourself. If you are like most people, then you have probably told yourself that things would be better if there were certain changes in your life or changes to yourself. You can make those positive changes yourself. Be proactive, and have a more positive outlook about yourself. Below are 10 ways to learn how to be yourself and live more happily: 1. Don’t Aim to Please Others There is a problem if you are never doing what you want to do, yet always doing what everyone else wants to do. This Is Why You Shouldn’t Please Others But Yourself.Pleasing others can be a nice thing to do, but know where your boundaries are. Instead of always aiming to please others, you should do things for yourself as well every now and then. 2. Don’t Worry About How Others...

A Comfort Zone is a beautiful place, but nothing grows there. Feeling comfortable, content, and secure can be the first stage of failure. Generals lose wars because their enemy has studied their past battles and understands their combat tactics. The same is true in sports; coaches lose ballgames because their opponent has studied their tendencies. Companies go bankrupt because they didn’t change and stay current with consumer demands. The belief – “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten,” is a fallacy in today’s ever-changing world. Those who succeed and remain on top are always pushing, stretching, and learning new things; they understand that if they don’t, they will soon be losing to someone or some organization who is stepping out of their Comfort Zone, striving to get better. You can’t do the same things every day and improve. Great things never come to those who remain in their Comfort Zone. Thomas Jefferson wisely stated, “If you want...

Its always You Against You. Its not you versus the world or you versus any other person. Never get in the way of your own dreams. Every power that you need is within yourself. You do not need external motivation. You do not need pep talks from others. You do not need someone to tell you that you have it in you. You do not need anything from outside. Its all in you. Dig deep. Dig hard. Dig into your soul and pull out that dream and make it happen. Never let any excuse that your mind is making, get in the way of your life goals. Never allow others to penetrate into your mind. Never lose control of your thoughts. There will be time people will hate you. There will be time people would want you to fail. There will be times when you may almost want to give up. But there will be the inner you who will stand up to all those who did not believe in you and prove them wrong. Its YOU who has the power to do anything… To do everything and to do it your way. and as long as your way is t...

8 Easy Ways To Increase Your Self-Control You can gain greater self-control in all situations by using these expert tips and advice backed by scientific research. Of all the things that are in short supply in our lives, self-control likely tops the list for most of us. When people were asked to list their character strengths in a study conducted in 54 nations and the 50 U.S. states, self-control came last. Self-control is the ability to control our feelings, emotions and reactions. A recent public example of a lapse in self-control comes from Tim Armstrong, the chief executive officer of AOL, who had to apologize for publicly firing an employee. "It was an emotional response," Armstrong said in his apology. More scientists are discovering the importance of self-control as a force we can tap into to have a more successful and satisfying life. But self-control is a limited resource that is depleted with use. When we exercise control in one situation, we’re less like...

Don't Waste Time On A Startup Business Plan -- Do These 5 Things Instead Traditionally, startup businesses draft a business plan for three specific reasons: to articulate their vision for the business, to document how they plan to solve key challenges, and to pitch their business idea to potential investors. But what if I told you that business plans for startup companies are usually not worth the effort? My many years of experience working with startups, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists has led me to conclude that business plans are largely a waste of time for the following reasons:They are time consuming. Thorough business plans take a long time to prepare, even if you use business planning software. They get outdated quickly. Your business plan quickly becomes obsolete as you encounter operational and marketing issues. Nobody has time to read them. Prospective investors and venture capitalists don’t usually have the time or interest to slog through such a docum...

Essentially, the basic idea that when you do something kind for others good things will happen to you and, likewise, if you do cruel things to others or ignore the needs of others, the same feelings will eventually come back to you. Those who believe in karma work hard to bring themselves good karmaThe laws of karma are more complicated than that basic definition, however. In order to truly understand the benefits of the laws of karma, you have to be familiar with them and what they mean. You also have to understand what karma really is and where it comes from. WHAT IS KARMA? The idea of karma stems from a Buddhist belief of the law of moral causation. Any action, thoughts, or words that were intentional is considered to be used by Karma.
