Understanding your goals to help you achieve them.
Daily Discipline
Discipline is the hardest, yet most important personal trait for an adult to develop. In previous articles, I covered the importance of learning new things and making them a part of your skills and abilities. I want to continue on a similar note for this article on the topic of "daily discipline." We often think of having discipline in terms of avoiding that delicious piece of chocolate cake or making sure you don’t procrastinate when you’re studying for a test. However, discipline is so much more than that as a concept. The best definitions for discipline, in my opinion, focus on controlling one’s behavior and honing it towards a certain goal you have in mind.
Ben WPublished 6 years ago in MotivationI Will Not Be a Square
I went to bed last night with a question burning on my mind. I woke feeling like I just sat through the second viewing of a movie hoping the outcome would be different. The outcome is always the same; never changing because it cannot change. I am not in a movie; I change. I can be more than the words that I type or whisper. I can be more than the lies I recite hoping no one can see through the ruse. I am a good person… I am a good person… I thought I was a good person. I need to know if I can be the kind of good person I want to be. Standards so high, the intention is really to fail. Did you know that about me? My question was, am I living a stereotype in denial? I knew the answer before I knew the question. Sometimes the question is the answer. This question was my answer. Knowing doesn’t feel good, though. It is good to know the truth. The truth can set you free. They say that this is half the battle. I have always been half way done then. It feels more like I haven’t taken one step forward in a while. In fact, it feels more like I am walking in the prints I already left. My foot doesn’t fit… I am making the prints bigger, wider, and fatter. Buddha says you are what you say you are. Not literal in the way that I can say, I am a bird. (Literal in more of how words have power.) If you say you will fail before you start, you have already failed. This is why I have so many words. I want to succeed before I start. You can talk so much that walking becomes impossible; a task that you put on a pedestal too high to reach. I talked up a good story with no intention of living it out… If I stop talking, will I live my dreams instead?

Let me ask you a few questions. Questions that I have asked myself over and over again and keep getting different answers:
Eric BurdonPublished 6 years ago in MotivationHow to Find Your Motivation
Motivation is defined as the desire to do things other than lay in bed all day. Motivation means you are doing something to better your existence. If you write down your goals, there is no truth that you will attain what you write down. Sometimes, some goals fall through. Sometimes you are not always successful. But motivation propels you to at least try. Not having any motivation can be painful. This is what marijuana can do to some people when used to excess without being used properly in a medicinal way. Written goals spell out what needs to be accomplished. It can be set monthly, for example, to have written goals out for every month.
Iria Vasquez-PaezPublished 6 years ago in MotivationThe Achilles Heart
So a lot of us have heard the story about the Achilles heel, but very few get what it actually may mean. I considered myself to be an aspiring writer until I finally decided to get off my butt and start writing a book. It began with me getting into research as far as what the heck do I need to know to start writing my first book. I started with a number of sources, but one in particular, I felt, did me the most justice: How to Read Literature Like an English Professor by Thomas E. Foster.
Davon J. T.Published 6 years ago in MotivationHow to: Just Start
After being married for only six months, my wife and I decided to start a business. Now over a year later, we have over 8k true, organic followers on Instagram and close to 500 pre-signed up clients! This is without any paid marketing efforts, no Facebook ads, Craigslist ads, or anything of that sort. So, how in the world did we end up with such a following? I'll get to that...
Brian P AlvarezPublished 6 years ago in MotivationTrying Something Newish...
I have erased and retyped this sentence more times than I can count. I am a little stuck on how exactly to start this blog. How awful is it that I am already stuck, and this is my first one yet? I guess I will start it like this. My name is Ayana and this is my blog. I am hoping to start of light ya know? Something that shows me. In every form that she comes. To start off, I would like to give you a little background on why exactly I'm attempting this again. Oh yes you saw the word again. This isn't my first go around. When I was younger I used to write. Not like those "I hate Becky for stealing my boyfriend" type of writing but the type that moved you if you read it. It's the type where you stop and ask, did you really write this or did you steal it from somewhere? No I didn't steal it from anywhere, it was me who wrote it obviously. I am not the type of lady who toots her own horn because quite frankly there isn't a horn to toot. Although I was an excellent writer, and it makes me feel weird that I ever stopped. I am not sure what happened; let's just say that I lost my creativeness? I am not even sure if that's a word but lets just go with it.

Part 3. Exercise 1. Putting It Into Your "Dream Machine" Grab a pen and piece of paper and jot down the following: Your number 1 goal for tomorrow. What would make it amazing for you? (Make this goal somewhat audacious yet somewhat realistically achievable.)
Paige KostyniukPublished 6 years ago in MotivationCreating
When I take a deep breath and breathe the air that surrounds me, all that I am inhaling is lust for creation. I found myself learning what my biggest passion in life is. Sometimes people are young knowing what their passion is and they continue to work on it daily. Sometimes people are well into their adulthood when they find what they are truly passionate about. For me, I knew when I was younger I fell in love with art and creating. When I was younger, I would write screenplays, dance, write poetry, and all sorts of that realm. I just did not pursue art when I become a teen because I felt like it was a joke. I felt that since I was not good at it, I should not be doing it. That was my biggest mistake. I think the most important thing in doing anything you are passionate about whether you are good or not is doing it so consistently that you will undoubtedly become somewhat decent at it.
Altair EPublished 6 years ago in MotivationHow to Achieve Spiritual Wellness Through Tarot
What is a tarot reading all about? What can you expect from a reading? I hear all the time how people are afraid of getting a reading, or afraid of what they will learn. There is nothing to be afraid in a tarot reading as long as you are in active participation in your own life and willing to identify what is either helping you or holding you back from achieving your goals. I am an intuitive empath and this allows me to see deeper into a seeker and identify past and present influences and better address any hidden aspects of the situation in need of clarification. I will share with you my experiences as a tarot practitioner and offer answers to the questions I hear most often. I will also share some methods I incorporate to help my clients achieve spiritual wellness. As an intuitive empath, I use intuition to pinpoint the source cause of an aspect and empathy to identify the true feelings of everyone involved. The combination of these abilities allows me to offer better guidance and solutions to the problems my clients may be facing. Clairaudience and channeling between myself and the inner spirit of my seeker allows me to communicate on a spiritual level and helps me to identify sources of trauma that my client may not even remember as it generally comes from early childhood. Many tarot practitioners possess this same set of gifts and others and use them to better assist a seeker. My primary focus when conducting a reading is to aid my client in the achievement of goals, spiritual growth and attaining inner peace.
Lady RedPublished 6 years ago in MotivationWhy the F*^% Am I Here?
The age old question, “Why am I here?” Its variations: “What am I meant to do with my life?” “What’s my purpose?” “Where will I end up?” As human beings, we ask ourselves this countless times throughout our lives. We change jobs, leave relationships, move across the country, or even the globe, searching for the answer to this question. There’s a deep yearning within all of us, whether we completely realize it or not, to live a life of purpose. To feel as though we’re making some kind of difference. To make an impact in some way, somehow during our existence. This can be a guiding light for those who pay attention to it, leading the way to one’s passion and bringing a deeper, more fulfilling sense of happiness to life. So, how do we get there? How do we find our calling?
