Self-Empowerment Tips for An Empowered Life

Self-empowerment is the process which leads people to exert greater control over their lives. I have personally done so by starting a personal blog.

Improving Self-Discipline for Students to Succeed in College and Life

students' self-discipline

While many authors write on self-discipline, few authors write on self-discipline for students. In this post, I tackle this very issue and I offer tips to help students become more self-discipline – and to see the success they want to see in their lives and future careers. Self-Discipline and the Average Student The average student is not self-disciplined. Students are normally not disciplined with money, they’re not disciplined with their diet, and they’re not disciplined when it comes to studying and building their careers. Without discipline, students won’t see consistent results. In fact, they will see the antithesis of what…

Trying Minimalism After Losing Money

Approaching your life with a minimalist attitude is something that proves more and more necessary these days.

Because of that financial disaster, many people have experienced dramatic and devastating changes in their lifestyles.

There are a lot of sites on the internet that offer step-by-step programs to keep you on the right track.

Gratitude: Don’t Just Take, Here’s Why

People always want more from their lives. And they should rightly strive after their goals and dreams. It’s the human need to excel. But they’re always trying to take something. They want success, fame, money, friends, love… and they want to keep taking more and more out of life. But you won’t be truly happy if you only take things. You have to give things. To make a point about this in my personal life, I’ve decided to give, on my birthday, a gift to someone instead of receiving or expecting a gift. I want to give it to a…

Why You Need High Self-Efficacy?

The ability to persist to see your goals realized is causally connected to your self-beliefs. The more you believe that you are built for the challenges of life, the greater your chances of overcoming the odds and achieving your dreams. This is known in psychology as self-efficacy; or your beliefs about your capabilities to succeed. The beliefs you have about yourself will determine whether you will confront your fears or submit to them. If you believe that you have the inner strength to march on, then you will keep fighting. But if you believe that you don’t have what it…
