If you are constantly working on it daily, and put lots of time and effort into it, you will start seeing some awesome results.
Four Questions You Need to Ask If You Want to Succeed
The renowned author of As a Man Thinketh, James Allen (1864 - 1912), wrote "For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now?" If you want to succeed, you need to ask the right questions. Asking question reveals the level of engagement you possess, especially when it comes to your own life. When you fail to ask questions, you display a lack of interest in the world around you. When you fail to ask yourself questions, you display a lack of interest in your own success. I believe this series of four questions should be asked by all who truly want to achieve personal success. These four simple, but profound questions are of utmost importance for your own growth. The altitude of your success is equal to the depth of your answers to these four questions: Why? Why not? Why not me? & Why not now?
The question 'why?' leads you to understanding. Don't ever stop asking yourself why. Children do this constantly for two reasons. The first is to gain knowledge of the things they do not understand. The second is to begin the process of relating similar concepts and experiences by cause and effect. I believe as we grow older we lose this natural desire to understand and relate to the world around us. The average person begins to trust in his or her own judgment and perceptions of the world and stops seeking greater understanding and relationships. Don't be average. Keep asking why of the world around you. Make the world explain itself to you. Make yourself explain you to you. Understand your drivers and motivations. The first step in identifying your passion is to understand your drivers and motivations. If you are serious about incorporating strategic planning into the remainder of your journey through life, then you need to ask this first most important question.
The question 'why not?' leads you to opportunity. Why not looks at life as it enfolds around you and questions conventional wisdom. The question why not is not asked to gather information, as much as it is asked to test the limits and boundaries of life. From the great to the minuscule, every achievement of mankind was realized after asking this question on a constant basis. Just think about: Why not go to the moon? Why not find a different water route to the Far East? Why not form a new nation? Once you identify your why, you have to begin looking for the most effective and efficient application for impacting life by asking the question, 'why not?'
The question 'why not me?' leads you to purpose, action, and achievement. Why not pursue your passions? Why not add value to another person's life? Why not earn so much money that you can give it away? Why not paint the next Rembrandt, or be the next Shakespeare, or find the next cure for a deadly disease? Why shouldn't it be you who accomplishes these things? Why shouldn't you be the one who changes the dynamics of the game? Why? Why not? Why not you? Your success is only limited by your desires, in alignment with your gifts, abilities, acquired knowledge and resources, to change the world in which you live. You might not change the world, but you can change the world in which you live. But you have to start to ask yourself these four questions.
Finally, the question 'why not now?' leads you to a sense of urgency. Don't wait for success to come to you. You should be pursuing success. Success can be elusive and if you procrastinate, the only thing you will have to show for your efforts is regret. Don't miss the chance to capture opportunity when she presents herself. The four questions of Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now? lead to understanding, opportunity, purpose, action, achievement, and urgency. These elements are all indicative of personal success. When you possess understanding, you create opportunity. When you create opportunity, you develop a sense of purpose, a desire for action, and the potential for achievement. When you have a sense of purpose, a desire for action, and the potential for achievement, you will have a sense of urgency to succeed knowing that procrastination is the enemy of success.
If personal success has been eluding you, you should consider the professional services of a life coach. A life coach can help identify your blind spots and develop a strategic plan to move beyond those things that have been holding you back from achieving the measure of success you desire. A life coach can also provide you with an accountability partner who will assist you in quantifying the quality of your actions as you systematically take possession of your success.
There are many instances in which you face a decision between what you know as right or wrong. Whether it is having another beer when you have to get up early the next morning or lying about something when you know the truth will ultimately cause you hardship. That instant when your inner-voice kicks in and the right thing is apparent, IS the turning point that defines success and failure.
I, along with every human being, have struggles making the right decision at a particular moment all the time. Some months ago, some of my friends were trying to coerce me to go out one night in a city that was an hour drive away from my workplace where I had to be the next morning at 6 a.m. I experienced this moment, ultimately deciding to go with the easy decision and we did indeed have a blast that night. Unfortunately, the next morning at 5 after about one hour of sleep, I found that I was still WAY too drunk to drive all the way to work. In my drunken stupor, I decided that the only resolution was to call my boss and wake him up to tell him I was sick. It would have been a great plan had I not slurred my way through three-quarters of the conversation explaining how sick I was before pronouncing at the end of the conversation "Boss, I'm really messed up." By the grace of God I didn't get fired that day, but I should have been. All of his respect for me was gone in that instant. I made a decision to act like a child, and after that I was treated like one.
That instant decision could have had a huge negative impact on my life if not ruining or ending it. All I had to do was say, "No I'm going home because I have work early in the morning." What is the worst thing that would have happened from that decision? I would have missed out on some fun, sure, but I would have also had $150 more and still had dignity at work.
Most importantly, I would have removed all of the negative possibilities that were derived from my poor decision. The dilemma of whether to drive to work or call in sick would have never arisen. That split-second of making the "hard" decision could have saved me years of hardship.
It is human nature to want to eat McDonald's, drink a case of beer, snort some coke, smoke some weed, pop some Adderall, hook up with random people, not workout, and basically do whatever we want every day. Is this worth the outcome? No. It is not. You are going to end up 35 years old, looking like 60, and weigh 350 pounds. You'll have no job, be on welfare, be strung out, and have a real bad itch in an inconvenient place.
How can we make it easier on ourselves to make the right decision? We must convince ourselves that we want to make the hard decision and do what is right. This will more than likely NEVER be the "fun" decision or one that will give us instant gratification. We should derive our gratification from the future; the exact opposite of YOLO. I am not saying it is bad to have fun, but rather that many times "fun" gets in the way of things that are much more precious.
So kids, the moral of the story is "make the hard decision while you can." One day you will look back and be thankful that you did.
Happiness: something everyone hopes to achieve in his or her lifetime. Such a simple concept, yet many have trouble realizing how to obtain it. Sometimes we unintentionally create our own obstacles that prevent us from achieving this goal. It is ever so important to realize the ways we are limiting ourselves so we can fully reach happiness.
Happy people and unhappy people see the world through two completely opposing views. Let’s look at the ways happy people stay happy, while the unhappy remain miserable.
1. Gossip
The only people who gossip are people whose personal lives are not fulfilling enough. If you are happy and content with your life, why do you even care what is going on in someone else’s? There is no reason to engage in this petty behavior — all it does is make you look pathetic and jealous.
2. Concern Themselves With Other People’s Problems
People who are unable to mind their own business are most likely internally miserable. They seek to find faults within others just to make themselves feel better. They tend to lead boring lives and have no excitement in their own, so they act in this manner to create something out of nothing. They seek to fill the gap in their lives by discussing the lives of others and judging them harshly, so that they can feel better about their own miserable existences.
3. Think Negatively
There are the miserable people, who are always complaining about anything and everything, while on the other side, we have the optimistic people who always look at the glass as half full and are constantly looking for more out of life. Thinking positively will directly affect your happiness since you are focusing on the good as opposed to the bad.
4. Act Jealous
There is no reason for a happy person to act jealous towards others. They recognize the good fortune they possess and relish in it. They do not compare themselves to others since they are more than likely content with themselves. Instead of acting jealous towards others, they take pleasure in their success and celebrate their accomplishments with them.
5. Seek Validation From Others
Happy people do not look to others to confirm their self-worth. They recognize their value on their own and don’t live up to anyone’s expectations. They do things for themselves that they believe will advance them in life. By not concerning themselves with the opinions of others, they can focus on personal growth.
6. Seek Revenge
There is no reason to actively seek revenge against another person. Leave that up to karma and just continue living your life accordingly. Instead of focusing on revenge, happy people try to make peace with the issue. The only way to stop revenge is to give up and to accept it. Replace the evil feelings with opposite thinking. This is the only way; rise above it and let it be.
7. Hold Onto Resentment
By holding onto resentment, all you are doing is continuing and intensifying your own sadness. Learn to let things go, especially those which are unchangeable and that are in the past. This feeling will eat at you from the inside and cause stress. There is a unique sense of freedom once you let your anger go.
8. Argue For The Sake Of Being Right
It’d be easy to voice my thoughts rationally, but quite as easy to do it condescendingly as well. Many people will have a belief and will hold onto it even when contrary facts are presented to them. If it is a topic that you know they won’t listen to with open ears, don’t open your mouth just so you can appear wiser in the eyes of those around you. You’re only boosting your ego. Do not force your opinions on others or think you know best, as everyone is coming from somewhere. State your point calmly and listen to others. At the very least, you can always agree to disagree.
9. Have Expectations
One of the biggest challenges we face in life is learning to accept people for who they truly are. Once you realize that your expectations cannot change people, the better off you will be. The problem will arise when the expectations do not materialize. Unrealistic expectations will, can, and most often do lead to disappointment. Do not expect things out of situations; just go into them with an open mind. This will allow you to fully immerse yourself without the pressure of living up to preconceived notions.
10. Avoid Personal Problems
When a problem arises, it is the unhappy people who tend to ignore it. This is an awful way to handle situations as the longer you let a problem linger, the greater it will become. You need to tackle issues head on and as soon as possible in hopes of rectifying the circumstances. The stress and anxiety of ignoring such things can and will make you miserable and consumed with worry.
11. Look For Happiness Externally
Your happiness is contingent upon your outlook and not the actual situation. You have the power to view things in certain ways, so it is crucial to try and remain positive. Look within yourself to create your own happiness. Do not look at others to fulfill you, you are more than capable on your own. No relationship or material possession can bring you true happiness until you are happy on your own, first and foremost. This is a fatal error far too many people make in their lives.
12. Over Think Things
Over thinking is what creates problems from nothing and is probably the leading cause for arguments between two people. Many people falsely believe that by over thinking certain things, they can garner a better result. There are actually little to no benefits to overanalyzing any given situation. All this will do is cause a person stress and anxiety. The more time a person analyzes a decision, the more time this person makes themselves susceptible to negative thinking. Rational decisions can become clouded when a person lingers on them for too long. The motivation and drive behind the initial idea can and will start to obscure.
13. Live In The Past
The past is the past for a reason — it has already happened. There is no reason to linger there since it cannot be changed. Happy people tend to make peace with their past and focus on the future. They actively seek out different opportunities in order to make the most out of their lives.
14. Follow The Crowd
Confidence is a crucial aspect of any happy person, just like this is a critical characteristic for a leader. Happy people tend to be secure in their values and beliefs and, as a result, have a propensity to be leaders as opposed to followers.
15. Take Things Personally
When you hear a comment that you think is directed at you, take a moment and think. Do not over analyze the situation at hand, just let the other person speak freely. Listen completely to what this person is saying – selective hearing is the cause of these misinterpretations. People tend to get caught up in petty drama, which typically occurs when one person takes something the wrong way. When it comes down to it, you’re in control of how you interpret things. Think of how much more you could achieve with a new perspective, one seen only through your eyes .
Samsung unveiled its first entry in the smart-watch market last week, effectively moving the tech war from the pocket to the wrist.The Samsung Galaxy Gear will feature a 1.63-inch 320x320 AMOLED display, metal face and buckle, single-core 800MHz Exynos processor, 1.9-megapixel camera, speaker, 512MB of RAM, 4 GB of storage and two microphones. The adjustable wristband will come in six colors to coordinate the watch to your personality (or clothes): wild orange, rose gold, jet black, mocha gray, oatmeal beige and lime green.Essentially, the watch can prevent you from ever having to hold your phone, reach in your pocket or wrestle with items in your purse, thereby cutting down on theft and accidental damages. You can create calendar items, draft emails and text messages, set alarms, snap pictures, capture video, receive and answer phone calls and check the weather with the wearable tech. For those wordy emails, a feature called "Smart Relay" will allow you to easily move from viewing something on your watch to your phone's bigger screen. You don't even have to touch it! Using Bluetooth 4.0 and S Voice, you can accomplish most tasks via voice commands. "Regular" use of the watch should net a battery life of 25 hours.At launch, the Galaxy Gear will pair up only with the forthcoming Galaxy Note 3 and Note 10. But future updates will allow the device to work with the Galaxy S3, S4, Note 2 and a few others. Seventy applications will be available, including Evernote, eBay, Snapchat, Life360, Phigolf and Path—as well as fitness apps like MyFitnessPal and RunKeeper. The watch also comes with a gyroscope and accelerometer to keep an accurate track of your exercise stats.The Samsung Galaxy Gear will retail for $299 when it hits U.S. shelves in October. Has the surge of interest in wearable technology and smartwatches lured you in yet?Pebble, Motorola, Sony and Casio have already released competitive products, and Apple and Google are rumored to be working on devices of their own.

8 Good Morning Questions that Create Happiness
Do you need help focusing on what matters most?
If you think happiness and success means making lots of money and buying lots of stuff, the answer to this question is yes.
Dirty, wrinkled sketches of dead presidents have never made anyone happy in the long run. And how can you expect to be successful if you’re not happy? Money helps along the way, but only you can make yourself happy and successful from the inside out. There isn’t any amount of money that can buy that.
Real happiness and success comes from the quality of your attitude, your relationships, and the emotions you experience each day. That’s where the questions below come in. Ask yourself these questions every morning and I absolutely guarantee that your days will get happier and more prolific over time:
1. What is the most important thing I can do today for my own well-being?
If you don’t take good care of yourself, then you can’t take good care of others either; which is why taking care of yourself is the best selfish thing you can do.
Every new day is a chance to change your life. Work on making life all that you want it to be. Work hard for what you believe, and keep your dreams big and your worries small. Figure out how you can best serve yourself today.
Remember, you never need to carry more than you can hold, just take one small step at a time. And while you’re out there today making decisions instead of excuses, learning new things, and getting closer and closer to your goals, know that there are others out there, like me, who admire your efforts and are striving for greatness too.
2. How can I show my love to those I love?
You don’t need to be perfect to be a perfect friend or lover, but the commitmentto your relationship is a precious responsibility. Relationships last a lifetime only when two people make a deliberate choice to keep it, fight for it, and work for it. These acts of love don’t need to be extravagant either; they just need to be true. And true love is always shown in deeds, not just words.
Also, remember that it’s not so much about what you do for your loved ones as it is about the love you put into what you do for them. Learn what matters most to them and make a habit of it. (Angel and I discuss this in more detail in the “Relationships” chapter of 1,000 Little Things Happy, Successful People Do Differently.)
3. How can I encourage myself and others today?
“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing, that’s why we recommend it daily.” Zig Ziglar said that, and nothing could be closer to the truth.
To accomplish great things, you must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe. Be a dreamer, a believer, and a courageous and cheerful thinker. Be a positive motivator, a productive doer, and a go-getter who keeps her head in the clouds and her feet on the ground. Let the spirit of passion and possibility ignite a fire within you to do something worthwhile today, and don’t forget to spread your enthusiasm to those around you.
4. What can I do to make a positive difference in the lives around me?
Being a genuinely good person, helping others, and leaving the world better than you found it is what a truly rich life is. Knowing deep down that you counted – that someone else’s life would not have been as well off without you in it – that’s priceless. That’s something worth working for.
There are many small, simple actions you can make to profoundly impact your family, your community, and the world. So do your best to leave everything you touch today a little better than you found it.
5. How will I sincerely honor my own truth today?
You have your own way. For you, this way of living is the absolute right way. Honor it.
One of the most influential sources of peace is simply being comfortable with who you really are. Not trading your reality for a role, or your truth for an act. Not giving up your freedom of thought. Not putting on a mask.
There cannot be peace in your external life until you are at peace within yourself, being yourself. It won’t always be easy, but no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning your inner spirit. (Read The Untethered Soul.)
6. What is my intuition telling me about my current path?
Is it telling you to go against the grain? Is it urging you to do something differently? It’s okay to listen to the advice of others, but don’t forget to check in with your own intuition. If it leads you off the well worn path today, so be it.
Don’t apologize for what you feel and what you don’t feel; that’s a betrayal of your truth. No matter how much advice people give you, sometimes you have to feel things out for yourself, make decisions on your own, experience things firsthand, and build your own conclusions from the ground up the old fashion way.
7. What do I appreciate about my life right now?
As Socrates once said, “Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.”
Do not waste all your happiness by overlooking everything you have for everything you wish you had. If you do, you will never have enough. Instead, appreciate the goodness that is already yours, and you will instantly find a lot more to smile about.
Appreciate the good people and things around you, and you’ll soon find many more of them around you. Truly appreciate your life, and you’ll find that you have more of it to live. (Read Learned Optimism.)
8. What would I like to remember about today?
Do something worth remembering. Try something new. Express your love. Live your truth. Share your enthusiasm. Take action towards meaningful goals. Walk your talk. Embrace your gifts. Bounce to the beat of your own drum.
Do whatever it takes to make today a good memory.
Afterthoughts
Remember, asking the right questions is the answer, because the questions you ask yourself on a daily basis determine your focus, and your focus determines your end results. So ask yourself the questions above every morning and watch as the rest of your day falls into place.
The floor is yours…
I would love to hear your perspective on the final question:

Back Pain - Can You Really Get Back Pain Relief Without Medications And Exercise?
If you've been searching the web for ways to treat back pain, you are in good company. In fact, according to the American Chiropractic Association, 31 million Americans suffer from lower back pain at any given time.
People are suffering and looking for solutions all the time. Often the results they find require a painful injection by a doctor or frequent chiropractor visits. Other times the results are about the different types of medications to help with pain relief. Then there are those with a bunch of awkward exercises.
While any one of those pain management solutions can and do work I want to take a minute to explore a different solution.
This option is often overlooked and not even ever considered by many professionals. Interestingly enough, they have been used since Biblical times and can even be considered by some as God's medicine.
The solution I'm talking about is essential oils. That's right, the stuff that smells good and comes in a small bottle, usually with no instructions.
Essential oils are powerful and effective. They are 50 to 70 times more concentrated than herbs, and if you get one of good quality, it only takes a couple drops to be effective.
How can they help with back pain?
Unlike popping pills which can take a long time to take effect, (and not to mention sometimes not effective at all or you get terrible side effects) oils can be applied topically and absorbed right into the skin.
The benefit of topical application is that you can usually get immediate relief. Since essential oils are made up of hundreds of different compounds making some a natural anti-inflammatory or natural analgesic, they can directly address the root cause.
The downside of using essential oils is there is a learning curve associated with discovering which oils can be used for which symptom or ailment. The good news is there is so much information out there on essential oils.
To determine if essential oils are right for you consider these questions:
Are you limited on time and money to go to the doctor's or other specialists?
Are you open to trying new, yet scientifically supported things?
Can you handle strong, but natural fragrances?
Are you willing to do a little research to figure out which essential oil is best for you and your conditions?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then using essential oils for your back pain may be an option for you.
I encourage you to also explore this under-appreciated method as a form of pain management.
Over the years Kyle and Carson has helped thousands of people get their own online business up and running, and has shown them how to be financially independent. You will learn how to get a website setup and how to find low competition keywords that are easy to get ranked in the search engines. Along with how to write awesome engaging quality content.
