Creative Thoughts

Written by Judi Singleton


All thoughts are energy that attract like a magnetrepparttar content ofrepparttar 123209 thoughts. If one believes in abundance and they think abundance then they always have abundance in their lives. If one thinks poverty then they also experience after their beliefs. Whole societies may holdrepparttar 123210 same thought then that society experiencesrepparttar 123211 manifestation of that thought. Life is like a mirror it reflects back to us our thoughts. We arerepparttar 123212 creators of our world. We must take responsibility for our thoughts for no one thinks inside your head but you. Many of these thoughts that are being created inrepparttar 123213 physical world are unconscious thoughts and beliefs that may have been handed down to you from parents, teachers, books, or your own fears. First we have to recogise that we are constantly creating our reality. No two realities are just alike. When we take responsibility for manifesting our lives just as they are today we are beginning to understandrepparttar 123214 power we have. There is now a quickening of this planet. The things that several years ago might have taken months or years to manifest, may manifest now in a few weeks.

If you believe that you cannot have money until you work very hard and save for years then it is so for you. If you believe that you inherited a disease so it is for you. If you believe you cannot be happy until you are married then so it is for you.

Why Did You Really Lose the Job or Promotion?

Written by Susan Dunn, MA, Emotional Intelligence


Do you want to get ahead? Who doesn’t? If you’re active and invested in your career and life, you enjoy fulfilling your potential and getting better and better at what you do. It gives meaning and purpose to your life to have goals and to keep improving yourself.

If you’ve gotrepparttar intelligence, skills, training, academic degrees, expertise and experience and still aren’t gettingrepparttar 123208 jobs and promotions, maybe there’s something in your personal and professional development you’ve ignored. Many people are finding that it’s emotional intelligence.

In today’s economy, you can count on many people having qualifications similar to yours. It’s getting more and more competitive out there! When you go in for an interview, or when you compete within your own organization, you won’t berepparttar 123209 only person highly qualified to dorepparttar 123210 job. So how can you stand out?

I’m reminded of a client I spoke withrepparttar 123211 other day who’s now retired. He talked about when he graduated summa cum laude from his college and had scored inrepparttar 123212 99th percentile onrepparttar 123213 LSAT (the law boards), quite an exceptional score wouldn’t you say? Exceptional enough to get him accepted to Harvard Law School. He felt good about his ability to compete. But during orientation week at Harvard, he discovered that everyone else he talked with had also scored 99th percentile onrepparttar 123214 LSAT and graduated summa cum laude. “Uh oh,” he thought. He said it was a great lesson in life.

So what can give yourepparttar 123215 edge? It’s what used to be called “soft” skills, and more and more they’re looking likerepparttar 123216 “hard” skills you need to compete with. In a field where others are equally qualified, how are you going to stand out? With your personal skills. Your emotional intelligence.

Emotional intelligence means being able to identify and understand your own emotions and those of others, and to use them to effect good outcomes. The level of your emotional intelligence will affect your resilience, your ability to work with a team, your interpersonal skills, leadership skills, focus, problem-solving ability, creativity, flexibility, communication, and one other important life skill – your gut instincts.

Data can only ever take us so far. Forrepparttar 123217 most important decisions, there will never be enough information, and those who get ahead understand when to apply what they “just know” torepparttar 123218 situation. Gut instinct is a matter of long experience, and tuning in to your intuition. It’s applying all that’s gone before torepparttar 123219 situation at hand, includingrepparttar 123220 facts that are available, and it’s a crucial tool in life. This is why we like to go to a physician who’s been practicing many years. He’s going on honed instincts as well as allrepparttar 123221 academic learning and training.
