1. Lack of motivation. A talent is irrelevant if a person is not motivated to use it. Motivation may be external (for example, social approval) or internal (satisfaction from a job well-done, for instance). External sources tend to be transient, while internal sources tend to produce more consistent performance.

2. Lack of impulse control. Habitual impulsiveness gets in the way of optimal performance. Some people do not bring their full intellectual resources to bear on a problem but go with the first solution that pops into their heads.

3. Lack of perseverance. Some people give up too easily, while others are unable to stop even when the quest will clearly be fruitless.

4. Using the wrong abilities. People may not be using the right abilities for the tasks in which they are engaged.

5. Inability to translate thought into action. Some people seem buried in thought. They have good ideas but rarely seem able to do anything about them. Read the rest of this entry »

With the impact of the current economic situation many people have lost jobs, homes, wealth and even loved ones. With all of these things going on it can directly impact how you feel about yourself if you choose to let it. The big word in the last sentence is choose, you have direct control on how you feel if you choose to. It all starts with loving yourself to give you the juice to turn around the things that can be deemed as so challenging right now.

This was a surprise to me then as I would have thought I’d be an expert on love and relationships by then. After all, as I recalled, in Read the rest of this entry »

One of the greatest life lessons I learned was in college. I picked up my Sophomore year from my friend Mark. He’s a guy who projects confidence in any situation, in the face of any intimidating situation. Awkward introduction? Not for Mark. Anxiety-ridden job interview? Mark wouldn’t even sweat.

This isn’t to say Mark’s abundance of confidence was always a blessing—he rarely relinquished a position in argument and often entered into arguing matches. But to a younger and more timid me, Mark’s seemingly limitless reserve of self-confidence was a quality I deeply envied.

When we would hang out with our friends, their mannerisms, postures, and other behavior tend to rub off on us—psychologists call this  “the chameleon effect”. Just by hanging out with Mark, I began to pick up behaviors such as making eye contact, maintaining taller posture, using hand gestures, and speaking assertively. I still didn’t possess the internal confidence I coveted, but I began acting as if I did. I slowly recognized that my change in behavior affected Read the rest of this entry »

1.) Ask yourself, “What’s the worst that could happen?” Too often, we place excess importance on potential problems. We all have a certain amount of energy so let’s apply it to creating extraordinary relationships, advancing our careers and meeting our goals INSTEAD of wasting that energy worrying. Take action on what you have control over and minimize risks for what you don’t. Then invest your energy wisely.

2.) In doing something for the first time, imagine that you have already done it in the past. Close your eyes, then vividly imagine you succeeding wildly at what you are really going to do for the first time. The mind does NOT know the difference between something VIVIDLY imagined and something real. Make it vivid Read the rest of this entry »
