    Does the Fear of Success Really Exist?
    Many of you have most certainly heard others or yourself use the term "fear of success". Is it possible that anyone could really fear success? Hence does it really exist? If so what are some of its underlying roots?Let's look at the question of whether it exists first. How many times have you found yourself "knowingly" re-engaging a self sabotaging habit that undermines the quality of your life in some way. I'm sure that you can probably think of many such situations.If you look closely at the inner forces that cause you to make such decisions to undermine yourself I think you will quickly recognize that it is not because you "want" or "desire" this for yourself. That is unless you have deluded yourself int
    "It is not as important to count time, as it is to make time count." --Chinese fortune cookie

    “There’s not enough time in the day.” “I just don’t have enough time.” “I don’t know where the time goes.” “Time is money.” “I’m out of time.” “Time flies.” “Time’s a wasting”

    Which of these is your favorite mantra? Or do you have one I’ve not included? The topic of time, or rather the lack of it, is a recurring theme for many of us. We all are so busy being friends, parents, spouses, sons, daughters, employees, professionals, neighbors, home owners, citizens, and volunteers that we can’t seem to fit it all into a 24 hour day. Our plate is full, and yet our time cup seems empty. So how do we find the time to be all and do it all? Well, let’s start with three themes.

    1. Start valuing time more—it is not “free”
    2. Accept that time cannot be managed
    3. Establish time policies

    TIME IS OUR MOST VALUABLE RESOURCE

    One of the ways we really limit ourselves is by viewing time as “free”. The truth is, time is our most valuable resource. Yes, I hear you thinking –yah, yah, yah, time is money-- but that’s not what I mean at all. Let me ask you--When you reach the end of your life, do you think you’ll say “I wish I had more money?” or “I wish I had more time?” My guess—you’ll wish for more time.

    However, we often act as if time is endless and spend it far more frivolously than we spend our money (well, many of us do!). Consider these questions…

    1. What percentage of your time do you spend doing things you do not enjoy or actually dread?

    2. What percentage of your time do you spend doing things that do not directly contribute to your goals, wants, priorities or interests?

    3. Add up these percentages. Would you spend this portion of your income buying things you did not want, need, enjoy, or get value from?

    Can Fiber Help Diabetics?
    Fiber forms an important part of our diet. Unfortunately, many of us ignore this either intentionally or unintentionally. Some people will find fiber hard to chew or rather not tasty at all. So they simply keep fiber away from their meals. Others may eat less fiber simply because of their eating habits. These people are mostly not aware of the benefits that fiber can bring to their bodies.There are two categories of fiber. Insoluble fiber acts like a broom in the gut while soluble fiber is more sponge-like in its actions. When both are paired together, they resist digestion by the body and do not contribute to calories.Fiber can not only help our gut but also prevent other diseases. For example, a new study

    Real Estate Investment - Why it is Big Business?
    When examining the different asset classes, real estate is generally far less volatile than shares and real estate tends to be the haven that investors flock to when other asset classes are suffering.It is true to say that investment properties can have many benefits in terms of building long-term wealth, but we must never forget that this wealth is not guaranteed!Following the global real estate boom of the late 1980’s many investors learnt this hard lesson when they found their properties were worth far less than they had actually paid for them and the bottom seemingly fell out of the over-inflated market. The bottom did not truly fall out of the market however as all real estate retained value; the real

    How To Know Your Realtor Is Getting The Best Deal Possible, Even If Commission Is Paying Them
    There are relative factors that help you know that your realtor is working to get your best deal possible, even if they are getting paid in a commission form.With the market changing, the traditional 6% split between the seller’s agent and the buyer’s agent is being adjusted to influence the sells of a home in favor of the seller. That is why it is all the more important to make sure you have a buyer’s agent on your side.Advocates of the consumer are concerned with these increased commissions, however these tactics do work. Sometimes there is favoritism for homes listed with a higher commission promised.Federal rules dictate that disclosure of fees need to happen at the closing, however by the time t

    Make Money From Website
    Making Money From AdvertisingIf you look at many websites, you will probably notice that there are banner advertisements displayed on most pages. If you are a newcomer to the scene, you might think that you must either be a company or that your site must be famous before you can get advertisers, just as it is the case in hardcopy publications.In reality, anyone with a website can get advertisers. While it is true that if your site is well-known, you may get companies contacting you to offer to advertise on your site, you can get advertising revenue even if you are just starting out and your site is relatively unknown.The way to do this is to join as an "affiliate" of various sites, either directly, o

Or, if your time is drained by commitments and obligations that you feel you “should” do rather than those you are thrilled to do, think about ways to eliminate ? of those things right now. Can you delegate them to others? Hire it out? Just stop doing it? Be creative. Be focused. Reclaim some time!

    TIME CANNOT BE MANAGED

    In terms of resources, time is the great equalizer. We all get the same amount--24 hours per day. No one gets more or less. The amount of time we have is fixed and, as such, cannot be managed. What we can manage is our choices and our actions. If you don’t have enough time, ask yourself why. Have you let too many things creep in to your day? Have you taken on too many obligations or commitments? Have your actions and priorities gotten out of synch?

    I have come to believe that the notion of “time management” is a myth to a large degree. When we try to manage time, what we really end up doing is “borrowing” from other places. When you “manage” to squeeze in more time at the office to finish up a project, you are borrowing time away from family, friends, or yourself.

    How often do you “borrow” time from one part of your life (work, family, friends, fitness, sleep) and lend that time to another? And, how often do you pay it back? Is there one area of your life that is not very good at meeting its debts (i.e., borrows far more than it lends?). Quite simply, if we keep borrowing without paying it back, eventually we will drain the account dry. Maybe we’ll get sick (from borrowing too much from self care time) or lose important relationships or miss out on meaningful events. If this is happening to you, it is time to take stock and ask yourself -- “Wha
