Many teenagers assume that they have reached the pinnacle of growth
upon their high school graduation; they have determined that they no
longer have to answer to anyone as they are now 18 with a high school
diploma. Obvious to the parents, their child still has years of
growing up to do, and no years are as vital as those spent in college.

Psychologists say, "If a child has not had a serious fall within the first year of life, they are being too closely guarded." That statement needs to be said for our adult lives as well. Have you had a serious fall in the past year? If not, is it because you're being too closely guarded? Are you too cautious? Too safe? Too practical? Too boring?

By Yee-Ming Tan. I just finished reading Malcolm Gladwell’s latest book Outliers: The Story of Success.
Much of what Gladwell has to say about successful people is little more
than common sense: that talent alone is not enough to ensure success,
that opportunity, hard work, family, timing and luck play important
roles as well. From a coach’s perspective, the point about luck, timing and
opportunity has a special relevance to the pursuit of flourishing lives
for Chinese people.
Using visualization to change limiting beliefs

It’s easy to overlook the power of limiting beliefs and spend years
wondering why you can’t seem to move forward and make lasting changes
in your life. Visualization is one powerful tool that can be effective in changing
limiting beliefs, because the process of visualization speaks directly
to the subconscious mind and plants more empowering messages - which
can override the limiting beliefs.

The alarm clock jars you awake at some insanely early hour. As you hit
the snooze button you think, "there's gotta be a better way to make a
living."

One of the qualities of superior men and women is that they are
extremely self-reliant. They accept complete responsibility for
themselves and everything that happens to them. They look to themselves
as the source of their successes and as the main cause of their
problems and difficulties... Totally self-responsible people look upon themselves as self-employed.
They see themselves as the president of their own personal services
corporation. They realize that no matter who signs their paycheck, in
the final analysis they work for themselves.

Do you lead with your dream? Is your dream
so clear that you can feel it, smell it, see it, and describe it as if
it were a life you've lived before? Furthermore, have you crafted a
compelling vision that depicts your dream and do you use this vision to
create desire and ignite motivation? A compelling vision is a
30-second movie clip that depicts what success is to you. A clear
vision is like a motivational vitamin - available for you whenever you
need a shot of energy to get you back on track and refocused on your
goal.

By Robert White. One of the most powerful pieces of writing that I’ve ever seen is from
Marianne Williamson’s book A Return to Love. It was quoted by Nobel
Prize–winner Nelson Mandela in his inaugural address... Listen closely
and consider your own life as you listen to Marianne’s words. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate; our deepest fear is
that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness,
that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You
are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world..."
Life of the Unsuccessful

More than any other factor, perhaps, the unsuccessful person can
usually be identified with a group that is at the mercy of events. The
unsuccessful person has things done to him or her.
The
successful person seeks autonomy and makes his or her own plans and has
the self-esteem and inner excitement and knowledge to know that those
plans can be followed, barring a calamity over which he or she can
exercise no control.
