What is the Purpose of My Life?
I am in awe of people who have a strongly purpose-filled approach to life. They are so much better at dealing with setbacks because they can see that minor challenges can never endanger the bigger picture. They also seem to have less clutter in their lives, because they don’t allow things that don’t contribute to their purpose to fill up their day.

How to be Better at Networking
One thing that seems to distinguish successful people is how extensive their networks are. Whenever you ask them how they would do something, their answer seems to be, “I know a guy.” Clearly, having such a large network is a major advantage.

Creating Your Own Life Plan
Sometimes, when I discuss career opportunities with my friends, I mention that I only chase those that fit into my life plan. Friends are often surprised to hear that I have a life plan, because this is not something that everyone does. However, I find that having a life plan not only gives me great focus, it also makes doing little tasks less mundane when you know how they fit into the bigger picture.

The Way We Think: Common Idioms We Use
We have powerful thoughts. Sometimes, when we get mad, we start thinking about phrases that we have heard before and we may yell them out, post them on social media, however we need to express those thoughts.

The Art of Relaxation
Many of us constantly feel like we are falling behind and our to do list is never ending. One of the most important factors we often forget is that in order to be productive, we must learn - and know well - how to relax. Relaxation is also a form of art, i.e., one has to learn how to relax and learn of the infinite creative ways to make ourselves feel good.

How to Stop Avoiding Problems & Confront Them
We all know that ignoring our problems doesn’t make them go away, but unfortunately, this is standard human behavior.

But this often has the opposite effect and only makes us more anxious knowing that we have not dealt with the issue.

Researchers say that happy people are more successful. But is success the only determinant of happiness? The definition is different for everyone; it is so theoretical that it can’t be measured. But why go into so much depth when we can simply be happy?

A Single Focus for the Best Results
A lot of us would really like to believe that we are excellent at multitasking, but that is probably not the case. Scientists have studied brain function during ‘multitasking’ and found that our brains don’t really like to do two things at the same time. Instead, it tries to switch really quickly between the two things you are trying to do at once.
