Currently, a well known singer is being criticized for not showing up at her concerts. She has demonstrated her lack of self-discipline to a wide public who will think twice about buying tickets to her future shows in case she isn’t there!
Nor can any of us feel smug. She is not the only one to fail to follow through on her plans. Self-discipline and willpower are needed in her life and in ours. Self-discipline and will power mean much the same according to at least one dictionary.

How Does OG Randy Couture STILL Do It at Age 44?
By Paul Greenhill
Here’s the burning question that MMA critics have been asking themselves since the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 74 took place on Saturday night: how does a 44 year old man continue to
perform at such a high performance level against younger competitors?
Truth be told, I’ve often wondered about that same question at times myself, but for a different reason that most of those MMA critics. Most of those MMA critics want to know how OG (older grappler) Randy Couture continues to deliver high-caliber performances, event-after-event, when they’re all ready to notice that he’s lost a step, take the opportunity to throw an H2O (He’s Too Old!) Bomb in his direction (again) and finally proclaim the end of his career (also again)!

Distractions Hurt Your Brain
You may have guessed it but reading the evidence gives folks the shakes.
The average U.S. teenager spends 6 ½ hours daily listening to music,
messaging his/her friends, viewing TV, playing videos-games and surfing the web.
Add the recent research students daydream 30% of their waking hours, and
it is hard not to wonder how they are going to graduate and survive on their own.
Fact: multitasking and a noisy environment really hurt your 3-pound coconut.
Sure, kids can learn with blasting sound tracks in the background, but the
information they acquire flitters away in 24 hours. Later, when students
want to use the knowledge or are tested, only a wispy ghost remains.

Increase Your Personal Value For Success
When you attain a certain level of personal value things are just going to start happening for you. Instead of chasing prospects, they will simply seek you out.
Before we get into different strategies to increase your personal value, let’s define what it is. Your Personal Value is simply the knowledge and skill you posses. If you are online marketer it is your ability to attract large numbers of people to your business and convert them to sales. If you are real estate investor it is the ability to identify properties that are undervalued or have potential and turn them around for a profit. If you are a sales person it is the ability to sell anyone on anything. Whatever industry you work in, your personal value is why people are going to come to you for your services.

Your Words Are The First Step In Deliberate Creation
What you say determines what you will think. What you think will determine what you feel. What you feel will determine what you manifest. Your words therefore are extremely important that you get them right.
You’ve probably heard it time and time again that it is your thoughts that are doing all of attraction. But in fact it isn’t your thoughts at all. The universe doesn’t hear your thoughts nor does it see the pictures in your mind. It simply responds to the vibration that emanates from your emotions.

Logos V Mythos
Don’t you find it hard to hear Boards of Education in the 21st Century
dismiss Evolution as a myth? Religious hierarchies throw a fit because
our world did not start in 4004 B.C. Bishop Ussher said he figured it out by counting the generations in the Bible. Does he rate a belated Nobel?
Forget Darwin’s book in 1859, 20th century research shows we separated from Chimps 6.3 million years ago and evolved through mutations to a neo-cortex (language thinking) brain. It has not been contradicted in the last 150 years.
