If you have a sense of purpose in life you have something to look forward toeveryday, a reason for getting up out of bed in the morning with a smile, itmakes you feel good on the outside and so good on the inside It leads to amore confident person who is happy with their position in life

Younger people very often have no problem developing a purpose in life, theyare just starting out and the majority of them have exams to pass, careers tostart building, meeting the opposite sex, dating, marrying and eventuallystarting their own families The majority of the younger generation has a lot tolook forward to and so have a sense of purpose in life

However the older we get, uncertainty can set in and we can start wonderingabout our purpose in life Perhaps the children have grown up and are nolonger dependant on you Relationships break up or we reach retirement ageand no longer have our work as a purpose in life

The older generation then has to develop a new sense of purpose in life,luckily there are many ways you can achieve this, and here are some of themore common ones

Take up a new hobby and do something you have always wanted to dobut have never had the time before

Join a social club, there are many social clubs which let people of thesame age group meet on a regular basis and enjoy coffee and

chatting A lot of these groups have activities you can take part in andoutings to attend

Join an exercise group either locally or at a gym, there are varioustypes of exercise you can take part in without being too strenuous.Swimming meets are a great idea for the older person

Take up a sport such a tennis or bowling e.t.c

Visit family and friends on a regular basis and have them come overfor dinner

Take up some voluntary work for a few hours every day, it gives you asense of purpose and gets you out of the house

Take a part time job that you can adequately cope with for a few hoursper week

Take a walk in the park and say hello to passers by, very often you willmeet other people who are in the same boat as you; you can makenew friends just about anywhere.

Visit a dating agency and get back into meeting the opposite sex again,it’s never too late to start a relationship

Developing yourself spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically can lead

to a happier life, personal development largely depends on mastering a fewbasic skills and implementing them into your life The basics of personaldevelopment are managing your time more successfully, setting realisticgoals, understanding yourself and building self-worth and self-esteem andhaving a purpose in life

In order to gain personal development it is essential that you know who youreally are, while this might sound silly, very few people realize their true

self-worth and what they are capable of achieving Only by realizing the

difference you make to the world, what holds you back from achieving whatyou want out of life and how to fully develop yourself to reach what you want,can you then begin to develop

Changes don’t happen overnight

Any changes that you make are going to require time and effort on your part;they won’t happen overnight simply because you want to change You mustset your mind to devoting your efforts to what you want to change and

develop and focus on them until you get there

As mentioned before if you want to develop yourself then you have to have asolid base from which to work from, you have to be aware of whom you are.Once you discover this it brings a whole new meaning and purpose to life, bytaking a long deep look at ourselves we discover everything there is to knowand we bring out our creative side more We open the door to our intuitionand let go of our imagination, which many of us don’t use to its full extent, and

we are able to develop these feelings

Key points to personal development

The key points to personal development are include: knowing what it is youwant from life and how you will achieve it, breaking free from your beliefs thatyou have limits and letting go of thoughts and emotions that have held youback, becoming more in tune with yourself and letting your intuition and

creative side out, understanding why you make a difference, and successfullychanging your thoughts, feelings and way of thinking so you can continueexpanding

As young children we don’t hold back or deny ourselves anything as we aregrowing, and due to this we continue to grow and develop from a child into an

adult We continually learn and adapt and better ourselves Young childrendon’t seem to have the fears that we develop as adults, life is so much

simpler and easier to cope with and deal with, a child’s mind is open and theycontinually use their imagination and intuition, they are not afraid of what theycan and cannot do It is only when we reach adulthood we hold ourselvesback and make things complicated, we still use our mind but we use it thewrong way, we turn it in on ourselves

Top 10 Time Management Skills

The secret to managing time successfully is being able to manage yourself,although we often think we don’t waste a minute of our time in reality this isfar from true and there are many ways which we can manage ourselves moreefficiently which ultimately leads to more successful time management Inorder to successfully manage time there are strategies which you can use tostay more in control and relieve stress which plays a big factor in successfultime management

1 Attempting to do too much – in today’s busy world many people wantthings done yesterday and this only leads to rushing around and notdoing a task properly, it also leads to mistakes and half-finished workwith no real feeling of having accomplished anything with your time

2 A lack of priorities – this is the single biggest cause of time wasting, inorder to successfully manage time we have to know exactly what ourpriorities are for the day, by not prioritizing we spend too much time onthe minor things and not enough time on the important ones

3 Interruptions – we all get interruptions in our day, this could be

someone dropping in and asking if you have a minute to spare, whichusually turn into a half hour or more Knowing how to successfully dealwith interruptions in your daily life is essential to time management

4 Procrastination – thinking about what you have to do instead of

actually getting on and doing it is one of the biggest time wasters inyour day, reduce the amount of time that you spend thinking and thisleaves you more time for doing

5 Learn to say “no” - many of us just cannot say the words “no” whenasked if we mind doing something, this is usually out of fear of

upsetting the other person, but if you are taking on the responsibilities

of others then you are taking time away from your own workload ortasks and essentially robbing yourself of that precious time which leads

to stressing you out

6 Clutter – look around your desk or workspace, do you know whereeverything is? If you are asked for a file can you lay your hands on it or

do you have to go rummaging to find it?, a cluttered desk or workspace

applies to phone calls, it is surprising how much time can be wastedthroughout a day by stopping and starting a project or task.

9 Use an activity planner – setting your day out in a planner can help yousave time, a planner will allow you to allocate tasks to time slots andthis way you can plan your day out and maximize your time more

efficiently

10 Avoid multi-tasking – starting many different projects at the same time

is not a very efficient way of managing time, try to complete one projectbefore starting out on another, this gives you the satisfaction of seeingthe project complete and knowing you have accomplished somethingwith your time

There is no “I” in TEAM: Team Building Basics

Team building is important for home life with your family team and in businesswith your work team What a team effort does is place the focus on the manyand not the individual Let’s take a closer look

What a Team is:

Teams work together for one common goal A team has one aim They have

a common goal for which every teammate has shared responsibility for

completing and meeting that one goal Everyone in the team understands thegoal and is highly committed to it To improve teamwork you simply mustmake sure that everyone on your team understands the goal and are all

committed to meeting that goal

How to Improve Teamwork:

Make sure that at all times everyone in your team understands the commongoal and is fully committed to it Without any of this in place, your team andthe goal is in danger You can make sure your team is working together by:

1 Making sure the team’s goals are clear

2 Making sure everyone in the team feels ownership and commitment

Types of Teams and Team Members:

Individual – A great team player is someone who is self-disciplined, likes towork and accomplish things The team leader must take this person and helpthem meld into a team to work with other people and not just as one

Small Teams – Small teams can be difficult because the team might overallfeel as though they are inadequate The team leader must help them see thatthey are not, and can work towards one common goal In small teams,

individual personalities and inhibitors can easily effect the rest of the

individuals in the team This is where the team leader needs to immediatelyaddress these issues and resolve them within the team

Team Islands – Team islands, is of course a group of many different teams.The team leader should make sure that each team island respects the otherteams The team leader must make sure that although they are differentteams that they can work together when they need to

Large Teams – Large teams don’t often have that many problems, as thereare so many people working towards the same goal No one feels that theyshould “make waves” in such large teams, they would rather work as a teamand accomplish their goals When a new employee comes into the team theirbehavior might be different than everyone else’s, but they will soon meld intothe team’s behavior with the team leader’s help

So, in conclusion, a team consists of a group (small to large) of people whoare committed to meeting one common goal The team leader must keeptheir team motivated to achieve that goal The team leader must make surethe goal is clear to everyone on the team, be able to find inhibitors and

remove them, and therefore keep their team working towards the same goalwith understanding and respect for one another

Teach Yourself Effective Public Speaking

As a first-time public speaker, you may have a terrible fear gripping you at thevery thought of standing in front of an eager crowd Your legs shake Yourhands shiver Your throat dries up Your tongue gets frozen Your mind

becomes blank You probably feel a little nauseous Really, you would ratherdie than be there because that seems like the only relief The good news isthat you aren’t alone in your fear Most public speakers have been fearfulwhen they began They simply persisted and learned to overcome the fear.You can too

Learn to woo your crowds, before they boo you This you may do successfully

by getting to know the members of your audience Find out about those thathave come to hear you You may have to do a little bit of research to knowtheir average age, education or their level of awareness of the subject youhave chosen for your speech and so on It is also important to gauge theirmood

Understand what message they want you to deliver Learn how best to

package that message in your speech Design your speech to suit the level

as well as the mood of your audience Choose the most suitable words andexpressions possible Think about appropriate body language to fortify your

speech Establish and maintain eye contact with the audience If you do,people will pay better attention to your speech Intersperse it with a few spicy

or humorous anecdotes to make it interesting Remember if the crowds thinkyou are a bore, you may hear them snore In certain circumstances,

encouraging audience participation will do the trick of beating boredom

Speech organization

Effective speeches are always organized very well You must have a catchybeginning, an informative middle and a stimulating closing The opening ofyour speech should be such as to rivet the attention of the audience

Remember that the closing will decide the degree of success of your speech.However, the bulk of your speech lies in the body, the middle, where the mainpoints and sub-points are presented In the end, a brief summary of the

speech will have to round it off The end is just as important as the beginningbecause it is what the crowds take home with them as they leave

Preparing yourself

Writing down your speech, revising it to your satisfaction, rehearsing it

systematically and, standing in front of a mirror or imaginary crowds,

delivering it are a few of the steps you can take in order to ensure your

Improving Your Listening Skills

In order to be able to communicate successfully with others we have to

develop our listening skills, truly listening to what someone is saying andunderstanding them is the key to effective communication While the majority

of us think we listen to what others are saying, in fact very few of us actually

do listen intently and this is where misunderstandings can arise, which leads

to difficulties and sometimes arguments

Most of us has, over the years developed poor listening habits and havecontinued through life with these habits, some of the most common habitsthat people have developed which leads to poor listening skills include

Listening without really hearing what the other is saying, which oftenleaves us missing the point

We allow other influences around us to distract us and drift away from

We pretend we are listening when in fact we are thinking of somethingelse and only hear snatches of what is being said

Very often start out listening then if we think we know what is beingsaid, interrupt the person before they have finished talking

A person can often hear what they want to hear, or what they thinkthey should be haring which is often very different from what is actuallybeing said

We often assume we known why something is being said and jump onthe defensive side

We cant wait for an opportunity to butt into the conversation with ourown point of view

These are the most common mistakes that many of us make when it comes

to listening, or rather, not listening However by realizing your mistakes andattempting to change them you are more likely to be aware of your mistakes,and this makes changing bad habits easier To develop positive and effectivelistening habits you should follow the following tips

Even if what the talker is saying is boring, you really have to forceyourself to listen intently to what they are saying and not be tempted todrift away into your own world As well as focusing on what they aresaying, watch their body language such as eye contact, hand

movements and head nods

Listen to everything they are saying even if this means acknowledgingthe unpleasant or what you don’t particularly want to hear

Try not to draw any conclusion before you have heard everything theperson is saying to you, don’t butt into the conversation before theyhave finished by guessing what they are going to say

Question the speaker in a non-judgmental way, by asking questions inthis manner you will very often find that what the speaker has in mindand what you assumed are two different things

When unsure ask them directly if what you think is actually what theymeant, this can very often alleviate or stop any misunderstandingsfrom occurring

The more you practice improving your listening skills the easier it becomesuntil you develop these new habits as second nature You will then find thatyou get along with people easier and are less likely to get into conflicts

through misunderstandings

Learn How to Say No

Generally speaking, people can’t say no to someone asking them for

something because they are so worried about upsetting the person or lack thecourage to turn down the request People often dislike disagreeing, or

believe saying yes is easier than saying no Others can simply not say no.However, there are often instances where it is best to say no to a request and

it is important to learn how to utter that small little word, “no.”

Adopt simple strategies to say no, politely but firmly You don’t need to cookstories up in order to refuse You don’t need to offer lame excuses You cansay no without being dishonest

Look at some of the umpteen ways you can say no:

No

I can’t accept this, with my present commitments I’m sorry

I’m rather quite busy now I must decline

I don’t think I have the time for it, as I am in the middle of somethingimportant

After looking at my calendar, I found that I already have prior

commitments

No I would only be able to do a mediocre job right now

No I don’t have any spare time right now

Not this time, please give me more notice next time and I’ll work it into

my schedule

I can’t

Why don’t you try someone else? I’m not the right person for this

There are a hundred other ways of saying no without feeling uneasy or

hurting others by being blunt or even rude If you aren’t sure, you can alwaysask for time to make the decision without feeling guilty You may say you willhave to think about it If somebody persists with the request when you want tosay no, you may have to be assertive and firmly decline You don’t need torisk over committing by saying yes when you actually want to say no

In extreme cases, people unable to say no to their bosses, who demandmuch more work than they can reasonably manage to do within a specifiedtime, end up either not doing the job at all or doing it poorly In either case,they are unnecessarily putting their jobs on the line If you can show your
