Life May Be A Consistent Challenge, But That Is OK...
I am sitting here in jury duty, waiting for my name to be called. I haven't decided whether it is better not to be called, ultimately just sitting here all day, or to be picked for a case and at least be doing something. I'll let you know on my decision later. Regardless, I began thinking, what a better time to write about a topic that we can all use, inspiration.
Now to finish telling you about why this subject seems so relevant right now, I am an educator and this is my first day of spring break... To top it off, my laptop will not connect to the internet. So if you are reading this article, you should know that I ended up restraining myself from performing a Steven Segal kick on my computer, despite the strong urge I am having to do so at the moment.
Regardless of how my day seems to be going at the courthouse and the tasks I still need to complete at home (grading papers), which my civic duty is preventing me from accomplishing, my life is pretty good.
The idea I am writing about for this piece is that the older I become, the more I realize that what my father told me was true. Life is a constant fight to survive. But the good news... that doesn't have to be a negative thing.
Now, when I say that phrase, "fight to survive", I do not mean I will have to shoot my way out of the building to get back to my car. So that's some more good news. Yet the challenges which every day brings, as you are probably aware of, seem to be consistent and never ending at times; we all have them. While they may be different for each individual, they are typically never the less, always there.
In recognition of your own personal challenges, let's think about them for a moment..... Ah, just what we all want to do isn't it? Think about our stinking problems... So let's begin.
Perhaps you are going through the hurdle of paying down your credit card debt, recently had an argument with your significant other, or you might simply be a constant worrier on a daily basis.
How do we handle these issues?
Let's find out. Read the rest of the article :

Do You Think Positive Or Negative Thoughts?
What do you think about the very first thing in the morning?
Your thoughts during the first half-hour of the morning will greatly influence the entire day. You may not realize this, but it is nevertheless a fact.
If you set out with worry and depression, and bitterness of soul toward fate or man, you are giving the key note to a day of discord and misfortunes.
If you think peace, hope, and happiness, you are sounding a note of harmony and success. The result may not be felt at once, but it will not fail to make itself evident eventually.
Control your morning thoughts. You can do it.
The first moment on waking, no matter what your mood, say to yourself:

We live in the world of the relative. What and whom we surround ourselves with, how we spend our waking hours, and the type of person we become is in direct relation to all that surrounds us.
Many of our choices are conscious. They are the simple choices such as; "I prefer a black car to a green car, so I am buying the black car."
Many of our choices are unconscious. They represent those areas of our lives where we feel disenchanted, disappointed, empty, frustrated, and unfulfilled. Our heads may tell us one thing, such as: "I have to stay in this job to pay my bills" when in reality, we dread facing our workday each morning.
Other areas of unconscious choices lie in the area of unfulfilled relationships. The kind of people we share our time with. The type of romantic relationships we have.
There is only one way to tell if it is your conscious mind, or unconscious beliefs, that created these choices for you:

Live The Life Of Your Dreams TODAY!!
Written by Miami Phillips
Just imagine you have no ties, no burdens, no limits, no memories, and no past.
What would your life look like? .
If the answer that comes to your mind is different than what you are doing, why is that? Is it because of someone else's opinion? A spouse, a parent - or maybe your children?
I, for one, have to admit to a certain amount of holding back on dreams and goals because of our two boys. As my life progresses I realize there is no reason to hold back.

How common are myths about stars? Well, there are more than 6,000 true stars visible to the naked eye on a clear night, and it sometimes seems that each has spawned its share of myths.
Why? The reasons are complicated, and mostly boil down to the fact that we've only just begun discovering the truth about stars.
Sure, we know now that stars are basically huge fusion reactors in the sky, big balls of flaming plasma that have lives and lifespans of their own, and that in fact our sun is just an average star.
But that's the fruit of the last century of science, and before then people came up with some pretty interesting ideas about them. Here's the truth about a few:
http://www.mythbusters.com/a-closer-look-at-a-few-myths-about-stars.html
Why do the extra? Because no one else is and you can shine by doing so. Be proactive with your life - don't wait for someone to tell you what to do if you know it has to be done. Just do it. Be different - do more and you will find that life opens her arms to you.
Good communication skills are important in all aspects of our lives. Different situations may require a different response.
What if you are shy or quiet? What if you are loud? How do you communicate effectively? Ready to learn a few tips? Practice them wherever you go and you will get better.
Here's to you!!

Entrepreneurial Tips for Conversing with Anyone You Meet
Written by The Group at eClincher
As an entrepreneur, you’re going to have to be a social creature. It’s possible for introverts to be entrepreneurs, but you’re better off being more of a social butterfly when you’re in a line of work that literally means making connections, networking and working with others. This means meeting with lots of strangers, building relationships and talking to lots and lots of people you probably don’t even want to – but that’s the name of the game.

Automatic teller machines can be incredibly convenient devices, especially when you're stuck without much-needed cash -- but paying up to $5 in ATM fees to access your own money can be a real pain in the rear. It behooves you, then, to find ways to avoid sticking yourself with such fees.
We took a look at this situation several years back in our article about avoiding ATM fees, but it's worth checking out again, especially since ATM bank fees are much higher than they used to be. A few new workarounds have presented themselves in the interim, too.
So if you're tired of being stuck with ATM fees when you need cash, check out these ways to avoid them:
