It’s Never Too Late To Learn Anything

Written by Clint Cora - 29 Comments
Categories: self improvement

I have a group of ladies who are beginner to intermediate level snow skiers that I teach each week for eight weeks during the winter. When we were sitting on the chairlift, we saw some of the little kids below who were fearlessly zipping down the slopes. These kids must have been anywhere from four to six years of age.

Some of the ladies remarked how they wished they had started snow skiing at the same age of these little kids. They claimed that the kids seem to have no fear unlike them, struggling adults. When the kids fall on the snow, they just get up again and laugh it off. Read the Rest of This Article »

Written by Carole Lyden - 33 Comments
Categories: confidence, self improvement

Who the hell are you? Are you for real? That’s the message I got when I had forgotten my twitter password for the umpteenth time. And it got me thinking (something I have been known to do on occasions). Do we really know who we are?

Next time you pass by a mirror, just stay there for a while and look at the person staring back at you. Is that you or an image of you? This is how you present yourself to the world and yet does your inner self match your outer self? Read the Rest of This Article »

Categories: self improvement

The connection between our self-esteem and what we get out of our lives is very crucial.  It’s the foundation of our confidence and interactions with ourselves and the outside world.

Having esteem for ourselves plays a part in our moods, beliefs and attitudes, and the quality of relationships we have in our lives.

For many of us, we strive to develop ourselves, feel better, and become better people.  Understanding what we can do to overcome the symptoms of low self-esteem is a great way to enhance more positives in our lives. Read the Rest of This Article »

Who Do You Think You Aren’t? How To Get Past Limiting Beliefs

Written by Suzanne Jones - 19 Comments
Categories: psychology, self improvement

By asking yourself this question will allow the freedoms of your mind to speak it’s truth. No running or wearing a mask or acting. We all know who we aren’t. We aren’t the President of the United States or the Prime Minister of Canada. YET.

What is it that you tell yourself you could never do? Why don’t you trust yourself to do the things you used to daydream about? What is inside of you screaming to come out but the thought of it creates unspeakable amounts of stress for you? Read the Rest of This Article »

11 Simple Ways to Become Confident Like a Rap Star

Written by Martin King - 47 Comments
Categories: self confidence, self improvement

When I was younger, I was a very shy guy. I often wondered how it would feel to be confident like a rap star. I mean, does Snoop Dogg ever feel insecure? Could you picture a shy rap star? How would you feel if you just didnít care about what other people thought? How awesome would it be to feel comfortable in every situation?

Itís just a stupid dream, right? Nobody in the world is always confident and feels comfortable in every situation (except Snoop Dogg, of course).

Being a shy guy, I was sure that’s just how I was born. Shyness is in my genes, you know. I’m an introvert, so I’m just going to spend my life following other people and hiding in the shadows. A glorious life ahead! Read the Rest of This Article »

How to Beat the Fear of The Unknown

Written by M. A. Tohami - 24 Comments
Categories: self improvement

When my coaching clients find their purpose in life, they become so enthusiastic about their new discovery.

But the fear of the unknown leaves them in a frozen status.

They are afraid of entering and exploring the new ground, because they think they might get in trouble. They are afraid of losing what they already have by jumping into the unknown.

So, they remain paralyzed.

They know what they should be doing, but they can’t take action because they think there is a risk involved with this big life transition. Read the Rest of This Article »

Get Over Yourself! Learn This Secret to Boost Your Confidence

Written by Robert Pagliarini - 28 Comments
Categories: confidence, self improvement

Nobody cares about you. Furthermore, nobody thinks about you, watches you, keeps track of what you’re wearing, or notices the words you mispronounce. And yes, this is wonderful news! Why? Nearly all of us, nearly all the time, are deathly afraid we’ll say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, or just generally look like a complete idiot. Think you’re different?

Why People Can’t Overcome Their Fear of Failure

Written by M. A. Tohami - 11 Comments
Categories: confidence, self improvement

You probably agree that the #1 reason why people can’t pursue their passions is MONEY. It takes time to find a way through which your passion can replace the secured paycheck.

However, there is another equally important reason.

On the surface, you can call it the fear of failure!

However, there is a much deeper and critical aspect of your fear of failure, specially when it comes to pursuing your passion.

It doesn’t hurt that much when you fail to achieve an average goal that you’re not so emotionally attached to it.

But when it comes to your passion and what you’ve put your heart in, it looks like there is no comeback.

6 Ways to Conquer the Demons of Self-Doubt

Written by Ali Luke - 11 Comments
Categories: confidence, self improvement

“You’ll never succeed.”

“You’re not good enough.”

“You might as well give up now.”

Chances are, you’re hearing things like that every single day.

They don’t come from your friend, or even your enemies.

They come from inside your own head.

Perhaps you’re working towards a big goal: like losing weight and getting fit, or starting up your own business. You might have big ambitions … but you’ve also got to fight a battle against those internal voices.

You’re not the only person who feels that way. We all have to struggle against self-doubt. And we can all overcome those negative, destructive thoughts that hold us back from reaching our goals.

Here’s how. Read the Rest of This Article »
