- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Your mental attitude is the key!
- As a being of thought, your dominant mental attitude will determine your condition in life. It will also be the gauge of your knowledge and the measures of your attainment.

You are the thinker of your th...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Why positive thinking doesnt work!
- There was someone I used to work with who, well aware of their tendency to look at the negative side of things, used to constantly tell themselves to "think more positively".

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Why do some affirmations *work* - and others dont?
- By definition,an affirmation is a statement repeated time and again either verbally or mentally-or written down. The words of the affirmation statement - in themselves -when spoken, thought of, or written *without* a pictorial (visualized) or emotional connection- make a very weak affirmation.Affirmations, when worded correctly -- and when emotionally charged - are able to tap into the unli...

All negotiations end up with one out of four possible outcomes: one party wins and the other loses, both parties lose, they get stuck in a stalemate, or both end up winning.
