So what is this secret weapon you ask? Planning – pure and simple planning….without which, you will not know whether you are living in the present, the past or the future, nor will you know which plan is the best for you…at this precise moment of time. As the saying goes, people don’t plan to fail…they fail to plan.
Planning for the future is important…and creating a written plan which combines both personal and professional goals is a definite must-do. Some people choose to focus on the professional side of the plan, and forget to include their personal life as it relates to family, companionship, community, entertainment, and life and personal goals. It is important that your plan makes room for both personal and professional goals, as your personal lifestyle needs to support your professional goals. [click to continue…]
What are some of your daily habits? It’s worth taking a look at them. Your habits shape what you do with your precious time. You can decide for yourself which habits you engage in are ‘good’ or ‘bad’. I’d say that the actions you take that positively contribute to your health, happiness, prosperity, and relationships are worth keeping. Anything else – well, you might want to make some changes. Here are some habits that you need to watch out for:
Email: in my opinion, opening emails first thing in the morning is not the best way to begin your day. You’re allowing others to shape your thoughts, actions and even your mood. Instead, make your first actions meaningful – do something that makes you happy, something that inspires you to live a fantastic day, or something that contributes to a goal you have. Check email after you’ve done the most important things first. [click to continue…]
A large problem with working in an office, staff room—perhaps even a home office— to conduct your lesson planning and mark assignments is that distractions can affect you on a daily basis. Distractions may cause you to miss deadlines, create lower quality work, or use up time that you really can’t afford to lose.
Distractions impact your success to some degree. If you give an aspect of your teaching duties less attention, then that aspect will suffer. Ignoring the wishes of your principal and students will definitely affect your effectiveness and success as an educator. Ignoring the quality of your work may betray your own objectives, ultimately killing your career. When you are aiming to be a professional educator…
It may seem like there is never a good time to accomplish that task, or start a certain project, or begin a new career; and because a perfect opportunity never arises, we end up getting stuck in a rut. If you don’t want to end up waking up 10 or 15 years from now and wondering where the time has gone, then make something happen today.
Putting difficult transitions off, such as changing career paths, is just another form of procrastination. This inaction is covering up your fears about making change in your life. Remember that you will gain immediate power over your fears when you take a positive forward step. Conditions will never be perfect; so go out there today and tackle whatever is holding you back. You won’t believe the improvement it will make in your self confidence.

We all get nervous when we have to approach a difficult situation that could end in rejection. It is normal to be afraid of rejection, but remember that it is often worse to do nothing. Whether it is fear of not landing your dream job, asking for a raise, or asking your crush out on a date, the key is to realize that you will be no worse off for trying.
If you don’t go after what you want, you could end up losing out on a better job, a raise, or love. Remember that you will always survive a rejection but that if you don’t ask, you’ll only get what life hands you…which will tend to be other people’s sloppy seconds. [click to continue…]

Attraction is really just the “new” term for sowing and reaping. To best sum it up I would have to use the quote “what you think about you bring about”.
