The Ten Habits of Passionate People

Men’s natures are alike; it is their habits that separate them.  ~Confucius

Motivation is what gets you started.  Habit is what keeps you going.  ~Jim Ryun

When you find your passion, you’ll have a boost of motivation to get started and change your life.

However, this motivation won’t last if you don’t turn it into habits.

We are creatures of habits. Our human nature always looks for ways to create patterns and do things on autopilot.

Habits are what differentiate successful people from others.

The habits that you’ve developed in the LOST phase – where you used to wander aimlessly without a clear passion or purpose – won’t help you build a life of passion.

That’s why you need to develop a new set of habits to serve you in your newly passionate pursuit.

These are 10 habits of passionate people that you can start cultivating today: Read the Rest of This Article »

“Your perception of yourself has an enormous impact on how others perceive you.” – Erin Falconer of Pick the Brain.

 “If you really put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price.”  ~Author Unknown

I believe the best way to build self confidence is by broadening your life experiences. When you work hard to increase your knowledge, skills and experiences, you’ll automatically become a confident person.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.  ~Anaïs Nin, Diary, 1969 Read the Rest of This Article »

Things like:

  2. I’m not talented.
  3. I do not have enough knowledge.
  4. I do not have enough experience.
  5. I have failed many times in the past.
  6. I’m not lucky.

5 Things You Must Consider Before You Actually Start Living

In November 2011, a local farmer reported seeing a spider monkey in a Colombian park.

Scientists couldn’t believe it, because they thought that the species was locally extinct.

However, they organized a short expedition to explore this matter and it was a shocking moment when they could see fewer than 30 spider monkeys exist per 1 square kilometer of the park.

Despite the potentially false news, scientists were still curious to explore and that’s what made all the difference.

This passion for exploration teaches us a very important lesson on how to get started in our passionate living quest.

The juggler walks out on the stage with ten sticks and ten plates but doesn’t begin spinning them all at once. Methodically, he or she positions the first plate on a stick and gets it into motion. Once done, the juggler moves on to the next, then the next, and so forth. Eventually, all ten of the plates are spinning away, each with its own momentum”

Creating multiple streams of income is key to sustain and secure your message. When one of the streams faces a hard time, others lift you up.

When it comes to creating multiple streams of income (or multiple profit centers as Barbara likes to call), people are divided into two groups: Read the Rest of This Article »
