Awaken The Champion In You
A man's life does not consist in the abundance of things which he possesses but in the value of his contribution to the world, through the fulfillment of his purpose. Livelihood therefore consists in what you have but the worth of your life is measured by what you give.
Your life is the sum total of all you has been given; but how well you lived that life is shown by what you give in return. Your life is God's gift to you; what you do with it is your gift to the world.
You are endowed with special gifts, unique abilities, wonderful graces that only you possess in that special combination.

Who Do You Think You Are? What Does God Think You Are?
Am I even important? If you have ever battled with feelings of depression then it is very likely you have asked yourself this question. Though the wording may differ it is important you recognize the question of our significance in all its forms. On the contrary this is not about the question but rather the answer to the question. Can we really get to know how important we are? The answer is yes and stick with me for a few minutes and I would take you through the pages of the oldest manual for humans - the Bible.
However before we tackle the issue of our importance let us outline a few characteristics of important things.
Important things receive more attention for a longer time. We usually spend more time learning three-credit courses than we do with one-credit courses.
Important things are more useful than unimportant things. Nobody wants to be associated with useless things. We all want to be useful or contribute to something that was useful.
Important things are needed whilst unimportant things may be wanted. We may chase after money and all the nice things in life because we want them. But we need air, food and warmth to survive. They are common but that doesn't reduce their importance - you need them.
When important things are created, they last for a long time. A lot of things are created, but as soon as they lose their importance they fall into oblivion and are forgotten. The important things keep on living on.
The first mark of your importance is that

Who Fills Your Success Plate?
I was thinking about the demands we place upon ourselves those others place on us. I noticed that some people have mountains of tasks before them and cheerfully and effectively plow through them without major disruptions to their lives. Others however find themselves overwhelmed and fall further and further behind in their lives.
What is the difference?

Communicate to Motivate
Motivation or Communication, which is more important.
Motivation is critical to increasing or at the very least maintaining productivity. Knowing how to communicate effectively in order to motivate is a skill that many leaders would like to have. The need to listen and a willingness to understand others is vital in motivation. To stimulate someone into productivity the leader must be able to communicate effectively. A loss in the communication will induce negative emotions thus effecting the motivation to accomplish a desired goal.

Message From the Universe: Work on Quality, Not Quantity!
"A master's awareness of spiritual laws directs him or her to manifest major life changes by working with their thoughts, not by working harder.
Which isn't to say they don't sometimes work very long hours, because they do; they just don't think of it as work. Which also isn't to say they all have cool jobs that anyone would love, because they don't; they just see every task before them, no matter where they work, as a gift to unwrap.
Hmmmmm...

Ambiton - A Passion That Motivates
Life is a competition - a daring adventure, and success usually comes to those who are ambitious. Ambition is a deep desire for achievement, and is propelled by an internal drive to fulfill one's dreams.
"Nothing can stop a man with the right mental attitude for achieving his goals; nothing on earth can help a man with the wrong attitude," says Thomas Jefferson.
Without ambition life is as insipid as a dish without salt and spices. No matter how intelligent and talented a person is, he will not be able to achieve much without ambition. Ambition gives us a purpose in life and helps to escape mediocrity. It envisages no short cuts. Sacrifices will have to be made and oppositions overcome. But nothing can compare with the joy of achieving one's goal.

The Goals You Set Are Not Promises But Commitments Towards Achievement
We Ought To Remain Open To Where Life Is Leading Us
There are no assurances of accomplishing our goals since they're not promises but a commitment towards achieving them. How does this idea appeal to you? You may well achieve your goals, however if you're unaware of your motives, it will have little bearing on your long-term happiness. As you know, setting goals is easy but staying committed to them when the going gets tough is another story. No doubt goal attainment is important to you, though success is seldom assured because circumstances change which may cause our goals to shift.
Can you identify with this where a goal you set changed along the way? I've coached countless individuals regarding their goals. To my knowledge, once they embarked upon the goal, the path to achieving it changed. It's not that the goal lost its power, rather they developed a greater insight on what they wanted to achieve along the way. Allow me to illustrate via personal example. Long ago when I started out, I aspired to be an internationally renowned speaker traveling the world giving keynote speeches. I had undertaken speaker training with various coaches and was speaking regularly to corporate companies and running public seminars and workshops. However, there came a point where I no longer felt as passionate about speaking as I once did. Instead I turned to writing more which had a greater impact on my message. I hired writing coaches and mentors to improve my writing and the more I ventured down this path, the more passionate I became. I published three books with internationally acclaimed authors writing the forewords. My point is, the process of achieving our goals will change and we ought to remain open to where life is leading us.
Can you identify with this story in your own life? Have you set out to achieve a goal and have it change along the way? If you accomplished it, was it better than your original goal? It's often said achieving our goals isn't as rewarding as the person we become. I can attest to the personal growth I experienced over the years and the lessons that pushed me out of my comfort zone and developed my strength of character. Setbacks and defeat have shaped my outlook, though there were times I considered giving up because I lost all hope. There was no money coming in and clients were cancelling, yet I remained committed because I believed in what I was doing. We don't know what we're capable of achieving when pursuing a goal, irrespective of how difficult it may be. In those times, our greatest growth will occur because we realise things aren't as bad as they seem.

Renew Your Spirit This Year
While many people set concrete goals like losing weight, saving money or traveling as part of their New Year's resolutions, I would like to invite you to consider renewing your spirit instead this year. The noble practice of tending to your inner spiritual light and cultivating a sense of peace in your heart may not seem so inviting, but the payoffs are tremendous! When we shift the focus from how we look on the outside to how we feel on the inside, great rewards can be gained and new insights achieved. Our soul is calling us home to true selves, if we take the time to listen.
Essentially, by renewing your spirit through regular daily meditation, you will avail yourself of a reservoir of peace and contentment that surpasses all material gains and desires. Additionally, you can learn to let the peace you feel in meditation ground and support you in your daily life and thus offer a more relaxed and calm approach to situations. Imagine sitting quietly, starting each day with full deep breaths, breathing deeply in through the nose and out through the mouth while focusing on relaxing every fiber of your being. After a time of following this soothing breath, you could then concentrate on breathing in the feeling of peace and breathing out any residual stress or worries. Once an inner stillness is felt, you could then sit and bask in this serenity, while enjoying the sense of being fully in the present moment, with nowhere to go and nothing to do. After this period of quietude, you can then use this powerful energy of inner tranquility to guide you and empower you with the greatest vision of your life.
Some of the greatest authors, artists and musicians have received their inspiration through quiet contemplative times. You too can receive inspiration for your life when you learn to tune in to the inner stillness of your soul. When you are calm and focused, your spirit can then use you as a vehicle for the expression of love, peace and creativity in this world. Answers to problems you face in your day to day life can be revealed through deep listening. Stress, struggle and worry tend to disconnect us from our true nature and our inner guidance. When unduly stressed, our physical vitality may become weak, sleep may be difficult and sickness can set in. Meditation brings us back home to ourselves, to our life force and to our innate self- healing power.
