Simple Steps To Having Healthy Relationships

Life of the Unsuccessful

When I think about unsuccessful people, I think of those men and women who seem to be at the mercy of forces over which they seem helpless or uninterested in influencing. I was raised as a boy in such circumstances and came to know them well. I watched people who seemed helpless to do anything about their problems. Their most serious shortcoming was of course lack of education. They took their cues from those about them, which is the self-defeating cycle of the poor — they're always following the wrong group.More than any other factor, perhaps, the unsuccessful person can usually be identified with a group that is at the mercy of events. The unsuccessful person has things done to... read full article > >

Information and how to shop for Secured Personal Loans

What is a Personal Secured Loan? A personal secured loan is a non-business loan secured with some type of collateral. Personal secured loans are secured using the assets of the borrower. The lender has the right to sell the borrower's collateral in the event that the loan is not satisfactorily repaid. Typically, the borrower's collateral must be something of high value, allowing the lender to feel comfortable in granting the loan because of the collateralized property's resale value.

However, some lenders are willing to accept other things as collateral instead of home equity. People obtain personal secured loans for a variety of... read full article > >

Stripping for the Audience

Some say the secret to being a good presenter is to visualize the audience naked. I say if you really want to be a great speaker, it's the speaker who must strip for the audience. Great speakers and presenters are not afraid to bare their souls to the audiences. They strip away their masks and illusions allowing audiences and prospects to see them for whom they are. Audiences walk away not only with increased knowledge but some insight into the presenter as a person. Whether our goal is to sell, educate, or inform every speech or presentation has a goal, and key to reaching that goal is generating trust. In order to trust us, people must know us, like us, and believe we are credible. It's no wonder so many of... read full article > >

Prayer Part 1 Praise and Intercession

We have been taught that prayer is begging God to do something for us, and that we have to keep repeating it over and over, because perhaps he is deaf, or he doesn’t want to listen, or he doesn’t want to do something for us. This is a myth that has been created by religion because they do not understand the inner true nature and also because they do not understand how prayer works.In my studies I have read and been guided by many pastors and preachers including by the internet, magazines and conferences from Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen. What Kenneth Copeland has said is that there are many types of prayer. There... read full article > >
