Hi there,
This is just a quick post to remind you that I’m still accepting guest bloggers to the Positivity Blog.
Why should you write a guest post? Here are two reasons:
- You can help people improve their lives. You can inspire them and you can share valuable lessons and tips.
- You’ll get some nice exposure and new readers. This blog has over 11000 daily subscribers via email and RSS. And about 240 000 visitors per month. By writing for The Positivity Blog your ideas can get exposure to several thousands of readers. And since you get one link back to your blog at the beginning of the post and a short bio with two more links at the end of the post this can send you quite a bit of new readers.

Success — on some level or another is a state of being that every human being strives for. A sense of Success follows us from when we are wee toddlers to cane-walking grandparents.
And yet most of us look for success in external forms and end up feeling like we are missing something until we can reach a certain level—of money, love or recognition.
The ironic thing is just as we reach that plateau, we feel compelled to go higher still.
This ever-reaching is part of the human experience. The question is how to handle it with grace?
In my 10+ years as a professional life coach, I have found that the best way is through becoming more expanded, more conscious, & more committed; and of course to be perfectly at peace wherever you are on the mountain.

“Criticism is an indirect form of self-boasting.”

Criticism can be a painful thing. When it’s valid it can also provide you with new insights about yourself and your life.
Many of the tips in this article can be used to learn to handle criticism aimed at you in a better way. But I’d also like to point out that it can be very useful to examine your own reasons for feeling like you have to criticise someone. It can tell you quite a bit about your own life at this moment and what you think about yourself.
1. Understand through experience.

“Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do.”

A simple tip for the day: it’s helpful to write down the reasons why you are doing something in your life.
Whenever you feel a lack of motivation you can always return to your list to remind yourself of all the positive benefits you receive from doing something. This can change how you feel and open you up once again to feel motivated. It can be the boost you need to be able to move off the couch and start taking action again.
This tip works for just about anything in life. For this article I’d like to list a few of the top reasons why I workout – with free weights – three times a week.
1. To get a hormone and energy boost.

There’s a vast difference between living, actually living, and merely existing, the disparity between life and death. I’m not talking of the human body here, but of the soul, the part of us that gives life to the shell we call a body.
A favorite song of mine has this line in the lyrics – “I’m going to die if I don’t start to live again” – a sentence that took on a whole new meaning for me after I had to undergo two major surgeries in the span of two years.
My body made great strides in rehab, but my mind refused to keep up. It took a whole lot of loving support, from both friends and family, and a resolute determination on my part to start living again, because I certainly did not want to die a living death. Here’s what I learned I must do to put more life into each day of the rest of my life:
