			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone wants to be rich. A lot of people want to be successful. Yet, only a few people are willing to pay the price. There is a price to success as there is a price to failure. Here are 5 reasons that keep people from accomplishing their dreams. A lack of motivation. Success comes from loving what you do. Is your current job your passion? When your study highly successful people, you understand that they have at least 1 thing in common: they love what they do and they do what they love. Is this the case for you? If the answer is no, you can start by identifying your passion. This is the best way to get motivated.</p>
<p><strong>A lack of faith</strong>. Faith is a firm belief in yourself, God or others that you can do it. Build up a strong vision of what you want to accomplish. In developing a vision, the law of attraction is going to work for you. You are going to attract people, opportunities and money that will allow you to develop an unstoppable confidence.</p>
<p><strong>The fear of failure</strong>. The fear of failure doesn&#8217;t exist. Neither does the fear of success. Fear stands for False Evidence Appearing Real. Micheal Jordan said himself that &#8220;Fear is an illusion&#8221;. It is hard to overcome fears. One simple way to overcome the fear of failure is to read inspirational stories and quotes of people that achieved their dreams. Read one every morning. That will give you strength and hope.</p>
<p><strong>The wrong strategies</strong>. When you want to build a business, to achieve something really big, you need to have mentors. You can&#8217;t allow yourself to loose time, money and energy. Mentors are people that will give you the right strategies; they will provide the right information and will inspire you. They will coach you through the process. Choose correctly your experts, your models. Work with them and adopt the same thinking patterns, the same strategies, the same beliefs. If he did it, you can do it too.</p>
<p><strong>Limiting beliefs</strong>. Often times we have limiting beliefs about what we want to achieve. For example, you can really want to achieve a goal but at the same time something tells you: &#8220;It&#8217;s not for you, you don&#8217;t deserve that&#8221; or &#8220;You can&#8217;t do it, remember&#8221;. These thoughts pollute our minds and darken our life. A quick way to stop these damaging thoughts is to use the power to say no! First, represent in your mind the &#8220;limiting belief&#8221; and say NO! to it. Now, represent in your mind what you want in its place and say a big YES! You will be amazed how your attitude suddenly changed about the old belief. Can you remember it?</p>
<p>I have just shared with you strategies to overcome the <strong>TOP 5 things that prevent people from success</strong>. When you apply these recommendations, your life will be enriched. You deserve success because you are special and unique. Everyone of us is. The fact is that we are potential geniuses. But the other fact is that often we refuse to admit it because it pushes us out of our comfort zone and most people don&#8217;t like that. Get out of your comfort zone; this is the only way to succeed in life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you had that experience when all of a sudden you just had this huge hunch that something is about to happen, and to your surprise, that intuition was eventually translated to reality? </p>
<p>When you feel strongly about something without logical basis to it, that&#8217;s called intuition. It comes in three impressions: clairvoyance or &#8220;the third eye&#8221;, sensing clearly and feeling through listening.<br />
<img src="http://inspirationstationva.com/wp-content/uploads/intuition-203x300.jpg" align="right" alt="" title="intuition" width="203" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-116" /><br />
Clairvoyance is when your eye goes beyond what it can see. This is when you know what is happening somewhere.</p>
<p>Sensing clearly is basically what we refer to as &#8220;hunch&#8221; or &#8220;gut feel.&#8221; This is the time when you are overwhelmed with a feeling and you can&#8217;t explain it and all you can say is &#8220;I just know.&#8221;</p>
<p>On the other hand, feeling through listening or clairaudience is being able to &#8220;listen&#8221; between the lines. Intuition also happens at times when a certain sound, whatever it is &#8211; be it a car&#8217;s honk or a bird&#8217;s twitting &#8211; ushers in an intense feeling.</p>
<p>They say only a number of people are gifted with intuition. Astrologers even insist that people born under the Scorpio or Pisces signs are naturally intuitive it almost borders on E.S.P. But studies have been sprouting left and right that proclaim that anyone can develop intuition.</p>
<p>Why the need to develop intuition, you ask? Why not let your emotional and psychological state as it is? First and foremost, intuition promotes good communication. It makes you more sensitive to the people around you; it often keeps you from hurting those you love because you are intuitive enough to understand them. Intuition also makes you far more creative than ever. Intuition means releasing more creative juices for any means of expression. Lastly, intuition has a healing power. This healing power is not in the physical sense, but in delving deep into your soul to eradicate some negative energy buried in it.</p>
<p>With that being said, are you ready to develop your intuition? Here are some ways to unlock this gift:</p>
<p>1. Hypnosis<br />
Oh yes, get yourself hypnotized. Hypnosis is not limited to watching a pendulum move back and forth. Perform self-hypnosis or you can avail of hypnotic programs that can strengthen your intuition.</p>
<p>2. Meditation<br />
Meditating means finding peace in yourself. If your mind and heart are cluttered with too many baggage and hurt,  you wouldn&#8217;t be able to quiet down that part of you that could eventually initiate intuition. There are so many ways to meditate: take a yoga class, or just simply practice some breathing that could bring you straight to Zen.</p>
<p>3. Think positive!<br />
A worry-free, fear-free state could do so much to improve your intuitive ability. By staying positive, you attract good energy that would be able to easily recognize imminent feelings and events.</p>
<p>4.  Just let go.<br />
What does this mean? If you are on the brink of making a huge decision, let go of all the inhibitions and head to a quiet place where you could find out where the letting go has brought you. Sometimes you just have to listen to the voice within you, and that voice wouldn&#8217;t come out unless you let go.</p>
<p>5. Never expect.<br />
After letting go of the inhibitions and all those things that stop you from thinking and feeling clearly, never expect for an answer right away. Never expect that the &#8220;hunch&#8221; would fall on your lap immediately. Give it a little time then you&#8217;d just get surprised that &#8212; wham! &#8212; now you have your answer.</p>
<p>6. Believe in your first impressions.<br />
When you see someone for the first time and think that he is a bit too arrogant for your taste, chances are that impression actually holds true. Most of the time, first impressions are brought by intuition.</p>
<p>7. Stay happy!<br />
See? All you need to be intuitive is to stay happy! Happiness attracts immense power and such power includes intuition. In tapping your intuition, your motivation must be happiness and contentment. Given that premise, intuition will fall to you easily. </p>
<p>Intuition is helpful, because sometimes it leads you to something that cannot be achieved otherwise. A lot of lives have been saved by intuition alone. Decisions are easier done if armed by this gift. Develop intuition now and reap benefits you have never imagined. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I seem to lost count on how many times I&#8217;ve read and heard of celebrity marriages failing almost left and right. Not that I care (and personally I don&#8217;t), it seems strange that we often see movie and TV stars as flawless people, living the fairytale life of riches and glamour. I suppose we all have to stop sticking our heads in the clouds and face reality.<br />
<img src="http://inspirationstationva.com/wp-content/uploads/self-improvement.jpg" align="right" alt="" title="self-improvement" width="200" height="240" class="alignright size-full wp-image-124" /><br />
There are many ways to lose your sense of self-esteem despite of how trivial it could get. But whatever happens, we should all try not to lose our own sense of self.</p>
<p>So what does it take to be a cut above the rest? Here are some of the things you can think and improve on that should be enough for a week.</p>
<p>1. Know your purpose<br />
Are you wandering through life with little direction &#8211; hoping that you&#8217;ll find happiness, health and prosperity? Identify your life purpose or mission statement and you will have your own unique compass that will lead you to your truth north every time.</p>
<p>This may seem tricky at first when you see yourself to be in a tight or even dead end. But there&#8217;s always that little loophole to turn things around and you can make a big difference to yourself.</p>
<p>2. Know your values<br />
What do you value most? Make a list of your top 5 values. Some examples are security, freedom, family, spiritual development, learning. As you set your goals for 2005 &#8211; check your goals against your values. If the goal doesn&#8217;t align with any of your top five values &#8211; you may want to reconsider it or revise it.</p>
<p>The number shouldn&#8217;t discourage you, instead it should motivate you to do more than you can ever dreamed of.</p>
<p>3. Know your needs<br />
Unmet needs can keep you from living authentically. Take care of yourself. Do you have a need to be acknowledged, to be right, to be in control, to be loved? There are so many people who lived their lives without realizing their dreams and most of them end up being stressed or even depressed for that matter. List your top four needs and get them met before it&#8217;s too late!</p>
<p>4. Know your passions<br />
You know who you are and what you truly enjoy in life. Obstacles like doubt and lack of enthusiasm will only hinder you, but will not derail your chance to become the person you ought to be. Express yourself and honor the people who has inspired you to become the very person you wanted to be.</p>
<p>5. Live from the inside out<br />
Increase your awareness of your inner wisdom by regularly reflecting in silence. Commune with nature. Breathe deeply to quiet your distracted mind. For most of us city slickers it&#8217;s hard to even find the peace and quiet we want even in our own home. In my case I often just sit in a dimly lit room and play some classical music. There&#8217;s sound, yes, but music does soothe the savage beast.</p>
<p>6. Honor your strengths<br />
What are your positive traits? What special talents do you have? List three &#8211; if you get stuck, ask those closest to you to help identify these. Are you imaginative, witty, good with your hands? Find ways to express your authentic self through your strengths. You can increase your self-confidence when you can share what you know to others.</p>
<p>7. Serve others<br />
When you live authentically, you may find that you develop an interconnected sense of being. When you are true to who you are, living your purpose and giving of your talents to the world around you, you give back in service what you came to share with others -your spirit &#8211; your essence. The rewards for sharing your gift with those close to you is indeed rewarding, much more if it were to be the eyes of a stranger who can appreciate what you have done to them.</p>
<p>Self-improvement is indeed one type of work that is worth it. It shouldn&#8217;t always be within the confines of an office building, or maybe in the four corners of your own room. The difference lies within ourselves and how much we want to change for the better.</p>

Before you start lifting weights, you should know the proper ways on how to execute the exercise. Many women seriously encounter injuries when they incorrectly lift weights. It is important that you get rid first of the excess weight that you have by walking or jogging. You may also purchase weight loss equipment such as treadmills, cross bar platinum, and nutrition boo guides for a better health. </p>
<p>Women usually do not have the natural muscle structure that most men have. They may not also have the same strength to carry heavy loads or the same resistance that men have. What more if you get older? Your body may no longer have the same strength when you were still young. This happens because of the lifestyle you have or just because of aging process. Your resistance may have just decreased and your body tends to weaken. </p>
<p>You can benefit many things when you get into resistance training. Even if you are not an athlete or a body-building enthusiasts, you can get into resistance training programs. Having an active body and well-toned muscles can provide you the more strength and good resistance. You can do some workout outdoors like walking or jogging to get a better blood circulation.  </p>
<p>You may also do some stretching and warm up exercises to allow the blood nutrients go to the muscles and joints of your body. Muscle stretching also helps in lessening the risks of injuries and muscle pains after the work out. Muscles tend to sore and get strained if you are not well warmed-up and do the proper stretching techniques before the work out. </p>
<p>In addition, muscle stretching also gives you more flexibility. You will be able to execute exercises comfortably and effectively. It is advisable that you do repetitive stretching and warm ups. Repetition of exercises makes your muscles and joints more enhanced and more adapted to the motion you are executing. </p>
<p>When you are ready to lift weights, you should first work on your larger muscles then the smaller ones. You may then finally go to the muscles that are isolated. You may execute push-ups that can enhance the upper muscles of the body. Before doing triceps extension exercises, you should first focus on the larger muscle groups such as the muscle found in your butt. You may execute exercises like repetitive squatting, box step-ups, and lunges. </p>
<p>You may also work on your quads which is the muscle found on the front thigh. You may perform repetitive squatting and lunges as well. You may also use the leg extension machine and the leg press machine for a well-executed exercise. </p>
<p>You should always remember that you work on the opposite muscles. Muscles tend to get imbalanced especially if the amounts of exercises you do are not equally distributed. When performing triceps extension, it is advised that you also do bicep exercises. If you work out on the chest and the stomach area like crunches, it is important that you do back extension exercises to get a balanced upper muscle toning. </p>
<p>Always take a rest after your resistance training work out. Allow your muscles to cool gradually so that you will not feel any sore or strained muscles. After the resistance training, you will see that you are more ready and physically fit for many kinds of sports.</p>
