A prison cell?

 by: Graham and Julie

Do you have a goal? A focus in life? Have you invested a great deal of time, effort, money to achieve and yet feel you haven t made it yet? For all your effort do you still feel that there is something missing in your life? It is obviously very important to set goals in your life. It gives you a focus a way forward a mechanism for making decisions when faced with a number of options. However, it can also be a prison cell.

The individuals are indecisive about the productiveness of this artistically written material as well.

Those who were scrutinizing for study techniques felt contented. To few, unyielding!

But, why to discontinue in midway? Traverse till the final word to explain about its quality.

How can making goals and having a focus be a prison cell we hear you ask. It becomes a prison cell when you create goals based on your past experiences. You look back at your skills and capabilities and then decide what you ought to focus on. In other words you set the future on the past. It creates the illusion that you are going forward when all the time you are stuck within the boundary of your past capabilities. It s like driving your car by looking in the rear view mirror all the time. You have a great vision of what happened in the past but haven t a clue about what is coming in front of you. The point is: whatever happened in the past is not a true indication of your potential.

As Alan Cohen stated: “To grow, you must be willing to let your present and future be totally unlike your past. Your history is not your destiny.”

In other words if you continue to do what you have always done then you can only expect to get what you ve always got. If you constantly focus on the past, the negative or on what is missing in your life you have no alternative but to create limited goals and focus. You are back in that prison cell again.

You need to break the cycle. How do you do it? You change your thinking.

To give yourself the chance of changing your thinking. A chance to create the life you want. A chance to create a focus and goals that you want to achieve. Start by answering the following questions. They are not easy, but they will enable you, in time, to become very focussed.

Where are you now? Where are you in life?

Describe your current situation.

What are your priorities in life?

How important are your close friends and relations to you?

What influence do you have on your partner s life? How do they influence you? Do you like this?

Do you like where your life is going?

Where do you want to go?

What is success to you? When you are on your death bed looking back at your life what would you like to think your life was about?

Visit the questions often until you feel you really understand where you are now and where you want to go. How you get there will become obvious as you progress. Don t rush, you have plenty of time. Keep focussed inside, on yourself. Think of yourself as opening a bank account of the self. The more time you put in, the more credit appears on the bank account and therefore in time the more is available for withdrawal.

Now the crucial question:

What holds you back? What stops you going for what you want to achieve in your life?

It is not enough just to create a focus and a plan. To understand where you are now and where you want to go. To change something you have to DO SOMETHING. Put your plans into action. Until you have put your plan into action, you haven t changed. You are still doing what you have always done.

Become a member of the 20% club. That s the percentage of successful people in the world. Put your focus into action. It s your focus, you have thought it, designed it and built it, now have the enthusiasm, desire and aim to implement it.

Change the I can t into I can. Think for a moment. Is this fear real? Or is it that your imagination has taken over, stopping you from embracing the future? Because, at the moment, you have no evidence of what is going to happen. The only evidence you have is in the past. And as you have not done this before, at this time, then you have no evidence.

Don t worry about your capabilities. Can I do this? I have never done anything like this before? What will I do when .? There is something magical about this process called life. Whenever we are faced with an incident we have never faced before somehow the answer arrives. Somehow we have the capability. They appear just when you need them most. If you look back over your life we are sure you will find, like us, that most of the time you set out to do something you didn t have the capability before you started. The biggest example is education. When you started did you know all the knowledge you had at the end or did you become capable as you went along?

All you need is courage, enthusiasm and discipline. Have the courage to drive towards your goals, the enthusiasm to keep going and the discipline to create a new habit even when it is tough. Keep focussed, keep learning.

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your dreams.

Well. Your access to this part means that you are very much curious in study techniques and education. Your hankering for knowledge might get quenched further.

To give yourself a better than average chance of success. Each night before you go to sleep ask yourself: What did I do today to bring me closer to achieving my focus, my aim and objective in life? Break out of the prison cell.

Good Luck

Take Advantage of Your Child’s Energy Levels

Is there something so specific in regards to hsc reading? Have you ever tried to comprehend hsc reading?

We would feel pleased if you comprehend our conviction. This excerpt has been a satisfaction for all the individuals till now. We believe it is the same for you.

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.
-Josh Billings

If parents want to be able to make best use of time with their children, then it is crucial for a parent to start becoming alert to the state that their children are in. Tired? Satisfied? Bored? His shoe hurts him? She has a stomachache from the spaghetti? And so on….This applies particularly during the time that children are playing with toys. They want to be happy. And you want them to be happy too..

Ah. Do you agree this piece of literature aided you in enhancing your comprehension of hsc reading? I wish it did.

Don’t be forgetful to read the pages on education. They could be profitable for you. It is for you to get the hierarchy on education at the conclusion of this write-up.

Here s one way of looking at it: it s a bit like dealing with a baby. Your baby cries. So you figure, usually and probably it s one of four things. One, the baby is hungry. Two, the baby needs a diaper change.Three, the baby is tired. Or four, the baby wants to be held. You would probably test each of these out to see if the baby will stop crying. What s happening here is a continual process of trying to figure out and be sensitive to the the baby s needs. Right? So we are dealing with a sensitivity to the child, and a willingness to experiment to find out exactly what the baby needs. Once the thing is done (for example, changed a dirty diaper and put on a clean one) and the baby stops crying, and is now smiling and gurgling, you think: Bingo! I did the right thing there! .

So the checklist is a key to a parent s success, because it provides the parent with the various possibilities of dealing with a baby s (or child s) needs.

As babies turn into toddlers who turn into pre-schoolers who turn into kids (and so on), their needs naturally get more sophisticated. In order to keep up with their kids, parents need to increase their checklist. Not only that, but to change the checklist as the kids grow, as some needs get taken off the list and others get put on. So it helps to start off with this idea of a checklist for each of your children. It can be simply a mental checklist. For those who are more organized, they can write it down.

An example of a checklist for a 6 year old can be:

Parents
Food
Friends
Clothes
Sleep/Fatigue
Homework
Entertainment
Siblings & Family (relationships)
For each of these items you can ask yourself- is my child happy and fulfilled in these areas? What areas does the child need help in? It would be difficult for them to be having fun playing if they have problems elsewhere.

In dealing with each of these items, here s an example of dealing with a checklist item: Energy Levels/Fatigue: Let s take a closer look at this. Children naturally have routines during the day. Wake-up, get dressed, breakfast, school, after-school activities, suppertime, homework, evening snack, bedtime. Yet you cannot expect children to have the same energy level in the afternoon after a long day of school/play as they would have in the morning when they are fresh from a full night of sleep. Many experienced parents know that when children are tired, especially little children, they just do not function as well in being able to do activities, in listening to their parents, or even at times to behave normally (!!). So this is a good item for the checklist: How tired is your child?

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.
John Burroughs

Fine. Stop being ignorant, read it thoroughly to get ideal report which could augment your intellectual capabilities. Your further enthusiasm in this article would be an added leverage for you.

For parents, the same can apply for the time spent with their children! Parents who want to get the most out of being able to build relationships with their children should consider (as difficult as it is) to schedule their day around the times that children have high energy levels.

An example of a good time to be with the children is after supper. Often children are well-fed, and the time spent sitting at the dinner table allows them to recharge their batteries. They are refreshed and well-fed and ready for some evening activity.

The time that is well-spent with children is like depositing a lot of value into a bank account of love and trust with your child. And what could be more valuable than that?

Life is half spent before we know what it is.
George Herbert
