Personal Power What is personal power? It is basically the ability to get yourself to take action no matter what. This term was made popular by motivational guru, Anthony Robbins. This concept isnt something that is new but he put it in a way that made it simple for anyone to make it a part of their life. The word, power, is actually defined as the ability to act or to produce an effect. In essence, it means the ability to get results. In life, you either do or you dont. The people who are able to get themselves to take action are the ones who get all that they want. The people who arent able to do this usually end up living a life of mediocrity and are full of regret. I was first introduced to this concept in the program, Personal Power 2 by Anthony Robbins. The concept is obviously simple. If you want something, you need to take action in order to get it. Nothing happens unless you act upon your intentions. Of course, simple and easy are two very different things. You can understand how to do something but when it comes down to actually doing it, that can be a completely different story. What I learned in Robbins Personal Power program is a set of skills that allowed me to get myself to take action. Its not always easy though. Sometimes you can know what to do, know how to get yourself to take action, and still not want to do anything. The biggest mistake that I made years ago was that I didnt set goals that I truly wanted. I set goals that were seen as success in other peoples eyes instead of my own. I went around in circles for years feeling frustrated and wondering why I wasnt able to get myself to take the actions necessary to achieve those goals. I found out later on that I didnt really want those goals. Once I was able to set the kind of goals that I really wanted, using my personal power became a hundred times easier. Again, the concept is simple but putting it into action is a bit more difficult. Once you know what you want, you will need to get yourself to take action long enough for those actions to become a habit. Once it becomes a habit, things get a lot easier. People who have been going to the gym 5 days a week for years dont have to motivate themselves to go. Its a habit, like brushing your teeth. You can harness your personal power through awareness. By that I mean being aware of the power that you possess to control your fate by deciding on the actions that you will take and not take. If you are thinking of getting the Personal Power CD program, then I highly recommend it. Robbins has a lot of other programs as well but this program is the most complete. All of his other ones are mainly just repeats of this program. It can be life changing. If you dont have the money to buy it, you can probably find it at the library. http://www.motivationalwellbeing.com/personal-power.html

global warming - "Global Warming - 5 Facts " By: George Christodoulou Global warming is happening and some people still think it's not happening which is just fine, but even they have to admit the climate is changing. The planet constantly altering, we have to decide what we will do to adapt. Animals and plants are already changing the way they act by blooming and migrating sooner. With technology constantly changing, new variables are added to this equation of global warming that pessimistic scientists must take into consideration before they doom the planet. Now, for all those skeptics who think global warming doesn't exist, here are 5 facts about global warming. 1. The Planets Temperature Has Increased And Average of 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.6 of a degree Celsius) in the last 100 years. With the increase in green house gasses, the suns rays stay trapped and increase the world's temperature. It is predicted that the temperature will increase in coming years because more and more of the suns heat remains trapped here on earth. 2 The cause of the increase of climate change is Human activity producing pollution and green house gasses according to many scientists. Heavy industry vigorously emits carbon dioxide, Nitrous Oxide, Ozone, and other gasses. With an increase in competition to create the most products of the best quality comes an increase in the production of green house gasses, but with new laws and filters, the amount of these gasses being emitted into the air has decreased. 3. If the temperature of the planet increases to a certain point, methane from the ocean can be released into the air and drastically increase the temperature of the earth to dangerous levels. This is not to scare anyone and may not even have to do with global warming or human green house gas production, however scientists believe methane released from the ocean ended the Permian era, killed off countless land and sea creatures, and raised the temperature of the planet considerably. 4. People say that deforestation is a contributor to global warming right? According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), deforestation occurs at a rate of 53,000 square miles per year. This can negatively affect the atmosphere since trees are 50% carbon as well as cause environmental problems for the land which is used to having large forests on it. 5. There are more than 50 things you can do to stop or slow global warming including, lowering your thermostat, choosing energy efficient appliances and, taking showers instead of baths. Every little thing you can do to prevent energy from being wasted can help decrease the effect of human interaction with the earth's climate. Global warming or not, preventing the waste of energy doesn't hurt anyone.

Weather you believe humans are causing global warming or it is a natural occurrence that will pass, you still have to be aware of its effect on the world. Do some homework and learn about both sides of the debate. Now is the time when this topic is at its peak so it will help you to know a few facts.
