Key Things I've Learned From Studying The Lives of Great Achievers By Josh Hinds (c) 2004

I've long been a student of those who have achieved high levels of success. Overrepparttar years I've noticed several common threads inrepparttar 122973 makeup ofrepparttar 122974 people I've studied. I'd like to recount several of those traits for you inrepparttar 122975 hope that in identifying them, you can implement these qualities into your own life and in turn be better as a result.

Responsibility, Persistence, and Belief in your own greatness - In virtually allrepparttar 122976 cases I've studied, every person at some point was faced with obstacles that could have kept them from reachingrepparttar 122977 level of success they are at now.

Certainly it would have been easy for each of these individuals to simply blame their life's circumstances for their lot in life and choose to surrender torepparttar 122978 idea that greatness was not something they deserved.

Notice I didn't say thatrepparttar 122979 "super achievers" I've studied did not have issues or pitfalls occur in their lives. No, what makes them different is that they acceptrepparttar 122980 short falls and get on withrepparttar 122981 business of overcoming and correcting those things as quickly as possible.

My friend,repparttar 122982 fact is that none of us can control where we come from, orrepparttar 122983 poverty that we may or may not have been born into. However, what we can do is to begin moving past what stands in our way now, and start doing what it takes to improve our place in life. To accept where you are now, because you might happen to have less then someone else is simply not an excuse that I hope you will allow to stand in your way.

I assure you that no matter what might be standing in your way, there is someone inrepparttar 122984 world that has a story of things that stood in their way that will put yours or mine to shame... Yet somehow they plugged on until they foundrepparttar 122985 "magic key" that unlocked what was blocking their way.

How to Handle Fear and Anxiety

Written by Garland Van Dyke


What About Fear? Fear can be one ofrepparttar worst experiences for mankind. Prolonged fear can lead to chronic health conditions and chronic health conditions can ultimately lead to a shortened life. Fear can be real or imagined. When a bear crosses your path you feel objective (real) fear. Thinking there may be a bear waiting for you when you open your door is an imagined fear (usually).

Anxiety deals with a fearful feeling of some anticipated misfortune. It is difficult for some to say what they are anxious about. Anxiety is often unknown or ill-defined. Either way, anxiety is a very strong, negative emotion.

What if I am unable to Function Due to Fear? This is an easy answer but may be difficult to carry out by some: get medical attention immediately.

Can I Really Control Fear and Anxiety? Yes. Try these steps to lessen or overcome your fear and anxiety:

1. Pray fromrepparttar 122972 Depths of your Heart - Pray each time you experience fear, worry or anxiety. Findrepparttar 122973 closest, private place and pour your heart out to God. If you have committed your life to Him and are living in ways He finds acceptable, He will listen to your needs. Never forget it, never doubt it; believe it with all your heart.

2. Trust God - One ofrepparttar 122974 hardest things in visiting with God is that He doesn’t verbally respond to us. How to trust Him? Look atrepparttar 122975 care, love, compassion, and forgiveness that Jesus gave to thousands. That is a picture of God caring for His people. Look inrepparttar 122976 Bible to learn how to trust God. The three fellows to be thrown in a fiery furnace trusted God explicitly and they were saved from death.
