'What Makes You Happy?' - Cari Vollmer's Article - March 31, 2007

Cari Vollmer's article is reprinted here.

What makes YOU happy?

I told you! A very simple question but your answers to this question will give you clues into your personality, preferences and things you can surround yourself with on a regular basis to ensure you lead a happy, feel good life.

Take out a blank sheet of paper, write the question above at the top of your blank sheet and then brainstorm a list of all the things that make you happy. Add to your list as you discover more things that make you happy.

Here's a list of what makes me feel happy:

*basset hounds, dachsunds and other quirky looking long dogs - they always make me smile
*fresh, colorful flowers
*simplicity
*family time just hanging out in the fresh air
*a really good movie
*sitting in a cafe listening to live music
*encouraging and inspiring people
*sending and receiving cards
*a flavorful meal, complete with the perfect wine
*a really good road trip on a sunny summer day
*time spent with my favorite friends
*open windows and fresh air

See! Your list is your list and the things on it will become a picture of what you need to have in your life to feel joyful on a regular basis.

Implement a practice in your life of looking for things that make you happy. The more you see, the happier you'll feel!

'How Self Esteem Affects Our Confidence' - Emmanuel Segui's Blog Article - March 31, 2007

Emmanuel Segui's blog article is reprinted here.

How Self Esteem Affects Our Confidence

Our self-belief has a profound effect on our confidence and on the quality of our lives. If a person believes that he lacks basic skills to solve problems then he may lose heart and give up. In contrast, a person who has less abilities but who believes in himself stands a much better chance of being successful. This is because his self-belief gives him the confidence to try.

Have you ever wondered why only a few students in a class ask questions? Is it because the others have understood all the points made during a lecture? Or is it because they lack the confidence to ask a question? More often than not, it is the fear of making a fool of themselves that stops students from asking questions. In other words, they lack self-confidence. The only way this confidence can improve is when they start believing in themselves.

This is why self-belief is so important. It gives an individual the confidence to aim for the moon. It overwhelms negative thoughts, and drives away the fear of failure. It is the best antidote against self-flagellation, which turns several talented persons into under-achievers. It gives the students the confidence that they have nothing to loose. On the contrary, they realize that they have everything to gain by asking a question, even if it happens to be a silly question.

Abraham Lincoln is a fine example of a man who believed in himself. He lost every election until he went to the Senate and stood for the post of the President. He did not allow his failures in professional and personal life to erode his self-belief. Had he done so, the history of the US would have been different.
