Have a joyous Thanksgiving Holiday.

With Thanksgiving approaching, I thought it would be especially appropriate to discuss a defining characteristic of successful people that I’ve met worldwide. I’ve found that successful and joyous people are usually very skilled at counting their blessings. They focus on what’s right about their life instead of what’s wrong.
Why is this important?
It goes back to the incredibly simple but undeniably profound thought expressed in Earl Nightingale’s great album The Strangest Secret. He said that “you become what you think about all day long.” If you think about that, you’ll realize it’s true. The dominant thoughts that live in your Read More...
With Thanksgiving around the corner, I felt it quite appropriate to discuss the power of being thankful. We’re going to follow the six reporter questions of Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How of giving thanks.

Today marks the 12th anniversary of Freedom Personal Development. It seems fitting that today’s post takes a look at where we have been and where we are going.

To ensure the results you intend when you are communicating in writing, the key is to know your purpose from the very beginning of the process. Why are you writing? What is the point? What is the best way to get what you want? There are two things that come to my mind immediately.
First, it is essential that we actually know what we want. Both for us and what you want your reader to do. Too often we receive poor results from our efforts simply because we do not know what we want when we set out to write a letter or to write a request.
Without a clear target to shoot at or an end result in mind, it is difficult to lead others to see things your way and take action. Let us face it; writing Read More...
We just finished celebrating Halloween and, I don‘t know about you but, I am still eating Halloween candy. Halloween is a time when we often think of and dress up as good vs evil, dark vs light, angels or devils, trick or treat, are you a good witch or a bad witch? Ok, so that one was more Wizard of Oz but you get the picture.
Do you view life in this same fashion? There are good things in life and there are bad things in life. Is that how you see it? What if instead, you chose to embrace BOTH the positive and negatives…..together, as they exist.
Like it or not, you cannot have pleasures in life with out also enduring some pains along the way. Read More...

If you’re a reader of this article, there are a few things I know about you. You are likely more knowledgeable about goals than most. I’d guess that you and most of your peers would describe you as “goal oriented” in the most positive sense of the word. In fact, many of you have even been to one of Freedom Personal Development’s goal setting workshops, congratulations!
Even knowing this, if we were face to face right now I’d ask you how well you’re getting the MOST important characteristic of your goals.
