Fail-Proof Resolutions by Alan Tutt http://www.KeysToPower.com

Every year, millions of people start to think about ways to make life better, and resolve to do something about it. Unfortunately most of them set themselves up for failure before they even begin, because they don't build a proper foundation from which to build.

The most common resolutions are things like 'lose weight', or 'stop smoking', or 'start a new business'. Sometimesrepparttar resolution will be something like 'make new friends', or 'winrepparttar 129292 ______ award', or 'spend more time with family'.

In short, resolutions are decisions to reach specific goals. Here are some ideas to keep in mind to insurerepparttar 129293 success of your resolutions.

1. Positive Expectation People who succeed with resolutions are those who expect to succeed. Those who expect to fail won't even makerepparttar 129294 effort to move forward.

One ofrepparttar 129295 best ways to build positive expectation is to find evidence that others have succeeded in what you're wanting to accomplish. This is one reasonrepparttar 129296 "Chicken Soup forrepparttar 129297 Soul" books have become so popular. They contain hundreds of short stories of people succeeding in all areas of life.

Another excellent means of building positive expectation is to simply imagine yourself succeeding. Scientific studies have proven thatrepparttar 129298 inner mind cannot tellrepparttar 129299 difference between a real event and one that is vividly imagined.

If you want to haverepparttar 129300 feeling that you've succeeded in something before, all you have to do is to vividly imagine succeeding. Then, whenever you think about that goal, your inner mind will recallrepparttar 129301 vivid experience of succeeding, and you'll have positive expecatation of future success.

2. Have A Clear Plan For Acheivement If you wanted to take a trip to a place you've never been, would you just jump inrepparttar 129302 car and guess your way there? Or would you take a minute to look at a map to see which roads will get you to your destination?

Having a map to follow will always get you to your destination quicker than simply guessing which way to go at each turn inrepparttar 129303 road. The same is true when pursuing any goal.

Living Without Your Anger

Living Without Your Anger by Alan Tutt http://www.KeysToPower.com

Up until several years ago, I was a champion 'angry person', in that just about everything in my life made me angry. If someone was unkind, or thoughtless, or selfish, or anything I didn't like, I got angry. And not just upset, but all-out, smoke rolling out of my ears, ANGRY!

Butrepparttar principles that I was learning led me to realize that every time I got angry, whether I expressed it or not, I was directing Power to create future experiences that would mimic or resonate with that anger. I knew that I had a problem to deal with.

I understand whererepparttar 129290 philosophy of 'living with your anger' comes from, as well asrepparttar 129291 philosophy of express it to get rid of it. But at least in my case, everything I expressed got easier to express, and it just grew and grew. I had to eliminate it completely.

And here'srepparttar 129292 major thing that helped with that. Anger isrepparttar 129293 feeling that things, situations, and people should be something they are not. Anger is judgment. If you take awayrepparttar 129294 judgment, you eliminaterepparttar 129295 source ofrepparttar 129296 anger. Actually, this is one lesson learned fromrepparttar 129297 Buddhists. If you can eliminate your 'attachment' torepparttar 129298 world and conditions, you can reach 'enlightenment'.

I don't get angry anymore. Frustrated sometimes, but I remind myself thatrepparttar 129299 world is as it is, and I won't help anything by getting angry, upset, or frustrated.

The transformation in me was likerepparttar 129300 transformation of a lifelong smoker who got scared out ofrepparttar 129301 habit (yes, anger is a habit) byrepparttar 129302 reality ofrepparttar 129303 disease (cancer inrepparttar 129304 case ofrepparttar 129305 smoker). There's a simple truth; your actions (and thoughts and feelings) today will create your reality tomorrow.

The transformation wasn't easy, but it did happen. I had to constantly remind myself that everything I thought and felt was directing Power to create my future. I had to ask myself for every little thing (whether anger was involved or not - to developrepparttar 129306 habit) "What kind of future do you want to create?"
