We want to be happy, but often we ourselves create the barriers to happiness. Now before you deny it, recall the last time you swapped stores about that rude police officer. Or the burnt steak you got. Or the nagging missus. Or the lousy ‘friend’ who screwed you over.

Friends, by focusing on the negative, you create a mindset that shields you from bliss: even if Happiness stomped you on the foot, you wouldn’t know it.

Don’t suck the positive vibes out of the room. Be the shining beacon!

How?

Try these for size:

- Focus on the shiny aspects of things that come your way
- Talk only of the good.
- Assume all people are nice
- Take time to smile

And there you have it. Follow this Rx and you’ll be a happier camper!

You may not realize it but many of our actions tend to follow a pre-programmed thinking process. For instance, someone throws a fist. What do you do? You automatically duck before even thinking.

Now on the macro view, we approach challenges with certain mental scripts that ’supposedly’ mitigate the obstruction in the shortest possible way.

Let’s use a more familiar term. Mindset.

You I, everyone operates from an almost permanent mindset that launches responses that may be optimal in some cases, but destructive in others.

Do some of these mindsets sound like you?

Do you feel best when you have lots of people around you? Do you enjoy making new relationships and keeping old ones fresh? Do you have many friends, yet are always adding more? Do others see you as more of a social animal than most? If so, your mental habits have probably become set in a Relationship-oriented pattern. You’ll spot all the human, relationship-based aspects of a situation easily. Other aspects may be much harder for you to see without concentrated effort.

Do you prize fairness? Does injustice and hypocrisy make you angry? Are you naturally drawn to good causes? Do those who know you well see you as the kind of person who feels high standards of behavior are critical? If so, your typical mode of thought probably lies in an Ethics-oriented direction. In any situation, you’ll jump right away to noticing what’s fair and what isn’t. That may grab your emotions so completely that you become almost blind to anything else.

Are you an active go-getter? Do you prefer less talk and more action? Are you driven by the need to succeed and the sense of satisfaction that comes with reaching your goals? People like you gravitate towards fast-moving roles with clear objectives and challenges to be overcome. Their natural thought pattern is Achievement-oriented and focuses on what can be done right away. Putting nearly all their attention on that often obscures anything else that won’t lead quickly to action of some kind.

Mindsets are neither good nor bad. They can produce beautifully for career but stump you in relationships. It’s critical to know when they serve you well.

Check out a recent article of theirs that one of our board members discussed in a recent company meeting (with credits of course)

Run from negativity researchers tell us. It’s been said before … but new studies show negativity – as a cortisol trigger. It adds stress and pulls tone in ways that shut down you and the people around you.

Work with people’s brains in a new way in response … Robyn McMaster reminds us. Great leaders … she points out … use problem solving skills to turn negative cultures around. Have you seen it happen?

Wait a minute …. Are you the negative one?

If so … you’ll be glad to see news that negativity is actually a choice and has far less to do with a person’s misfortune than once thought.

When we’re negative we see the worst, lack hope for change, take opposite views in positive conversations, complain more than solve, take few risks to improvements, blame others rather than make a positive difference ourselves.

Sadly, negative people online rarely see their pessimism one expert claimed – but others read it loud and clear in almost every post.

Where do the slumps come from? Interestingly – it often starts with a seemingly innocent rant. Negativity can come from a slumping brain – and thanks to research and new technology we now know how to awaken a slumping brain to positive results.

What can be done to remain animated when others are anxious? If you’ve built patterns for expressing more negatives than solutions that inspire others around you, or if you slow a group down by problems of confusion …. you’ll be happy to see science that helps people reduce anxiety before they join any circle or project. A new study has led to more help for anxious workers.

Some people seem to have a penchant for turning difficulties into monsters – out to get all of us. They often use words such as “confused” … “can’t” … or “overwhelmed.” Others seem to find solutions to the most vexing problems – through keen communication skills to solve problems we all face.

Like girls? I do. That’s why I buy lots of dating guides and seduction manuals.

There’s just a problem: many of them are written by guys who are clueless about girls.

But that’s no longer a problem.

Finally, I picked up a book crafted from a woman’s point of view. And I tell you, every page of its 200+ spine is good as gold.

Check out LadyKilling.com You’ll kill yourself for missing out on it all these years.

And now, you’lll know what girls really want- so you can get laid.

1. Pay yourself back, with interest. If you have to tap your savings, aim to pay yourself back with interest. For instance, say you need to withdraw $250 of your savings and you figure it will take you two months to pay it back. At the end of two months, throw into your savings another $40 or so.

2. Moonlight for money: Figure out what you could do in your spare time to bring in some extra cash. Then take some or all of that found money and save it toward an important financial goal. Here are five moonlighting jobs and what they typically pay: kid’s party clown ($75 an hour and up); house-painter ($13 an hour); word processor ($8.45 an hour); pet or house-sitter ($5.50 an hour); and baby sitter ($5.25 an hour).

3. Earn a higher return on your savings: The higher the interest rate on your savings, the less you have to salt away each month to meet your goals. One way to earn more interest on your savings is to put your money in a CD or bond with a longer term than you had originally planned. Another idea: Make your annual IRA contribution every January instead of at the start of the following year. That way your savings will earn an extra 12 months’ interest tax-deferred.

Four Kick Ass Ways To Get Your Financial Groove Back. Really

Getting the most out of your taxes should be a top priority for every working man and women, especially if you have a family. With a proper breakdown of your tax portfolio, you can begin taking advantage of your opportunities by following the tips below to reduce your federal income taxes:

Tax-deferred retirement plans: Whether you have access to a 401(k), a 403(b), a regular IRA, or a Keogh plan, making the most of your tax-deferred retirement plans is the fastest way to build for your future and reduce the amount of taxes you pay today. Why? Because every dollar you put into a retirement account today reduces this year’s taxable income. You may be limited in how much you can contribute to a particular plan, but you have at least postponed the taxes on that income. On the down side, you have restricted your ability to use that money until you retire. Most people should pump every dollar they can into a tax-deferred account. Continue Reading »

Discover How We Managed to Take a Completely New Website With NO Google Page Rank Value, To An Astonishing PR Value 7 In Just Under Nine Weeks

As a webmaster, you can imagine how this made my adrenaline shoot beyond my cranium. So I did a bit of checking around. Turns out everyone has good things to say (several PR0 sites shot to PR3 in weeks) and not a soul threw a gripe.

Perhaps I’ll go fork over the $97 this guy’s asking and get my site up to PR7?

Who doesn’t like having women - and lots of it??

I recently stumbled across an exemplary site tha deals with this topic:

Become A Player

While most sites insist on parting you from your cash before divulging the goods, this one spills
the beans in pages upon pages of girl getting tips, attraction methodologies and dating techniques.

I kid you not: if you want women and lots of them, you’ll spend hours browsing without even whipping out the Mastercard.

Some topics the authors covered:

- great perfume
- dressing snazzily
- dating NLP
- trancing and patterns
- confidence
- fluff talk
- sex and sex

The list goes on and I’d be wasting my time iterating them when you could check em out yourself!

I’d rate this site 6 stars, but the maximum we give on our review board is 5. So 5 it is then.

A job well done Becomaplayer.com!
