When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you. As Maria Robinson once said, “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” Nothing could be closer to the truth. But before you can begin this process of transformation you have to stop doing the things that have been holding you back....

But that’s old news – anyone who’s been doing this for any length of time knows what’s involved, and has chosen to keep on going. So the question is: Why is it so hard? Why is it that in spite of the good days and the successes, there are so many nights that we feel tired and beaten, wondering where our courage has gone? The answer is that the courage you need to get started is very different from the courage that you need to keep on going....
At Facebook Sandberg is responsible for monetizing the world’s largest social media network, while keeping Facebook users happy. The social media network, once chastised for not monetizing soon enough, is now swimming in cash. Lots of this money is going Sandberg’s way, and she is now one of America’s youngest billionaires valued at an estimated net worth of $1.17 billion as of 2015. But, like many of us, Sandberg has not had it easy all through....
One major problem is the amount of time we tend to waste in a home office. There are many reasons why time seems to slip by unnoticed in a home office, and it’s not usually because we’re so focused and working so hard. In fact, even with our annual pledge around this time of year to be more productive and get more done, work efficiency still lags behind its potential....

As it sits only 17 states currently require students to take a course in personal finance sometime in K-12 and according to one study, 43 percent of students couldn’t name one difference between a credit and a debit card. With how important tax returns, credit scores, and all other sorts of financial data are to the average adult’s fiscal life, it seems absurd that so many come out of college knowing so little about them....
Or at least that’s the plan. A 2015 CareerBuilder survey found that 19 percent of employees had trouble making ends meet every month. And among employed young adults, ages 18-24, 32 percent were unable to save any money in the previous year. It takes time to figure out a budget and learn how to live within your means, but many young adults don’t even try for more money during their first salary negotiation....
Not all the attention she has attracted has been good; a lot of drama outside the ring has involved her. Her bad relationships with fellow MMA players have gone viral and her straightforward way of speaking has been criticized repeatedly to the extent of questioning her abilities as a fighter. That has made some people grow skeptical of her. It is easy after seeing her so exposed in the media, either in a good or bad way, to start wondering if she is the real deal....
Just because someone has grown into middle or old age doesn’t mean that they have continued to grow as an individual. It is easy to remain in one’s comfort zone and preferred ways of doing everyday tasks. This can cause unnecessary stress when someone is forced to experiment with new ways of working. For example, a worker who is accustomed to carrying out their tasks in a certain way at work may become irritated or uncomfortable when someone suggests them to change the way they work....
While many people assume that reason arises from deliberate, conscious thinking, the truth is, people are more likely to feel before they think. Consequently, your decision-making process is quick, emotional, and subconscious. As Dan Hill in his book “Emotionomics” has pointed out, emotions are more likely to drive reason than reason is to drive emotions. Your behavior can be said to be driven largely by emotions. The Limbic system, the brain’s emotional center that evolved with the first mammals, is credited with turning sensory perceptions into emotional and physical responses....
The fact is that 65% of students are said to have experienced stress due exams and other pressures during their studies (Nightline Association, 2013). Maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle is essential in both preventing a burn out and ensuring that stress levels are kept to a minimum level. Keeping up with the course work, part time employment, meeting challenging deadlines, and sitting exams are some factors that contribute to mental exertion....
Luckily, you can become a more effective learner as long as you focus on improving these four traits that make learning easier: Be curious. Without curiosity, you’ll have no motivation to learn. Become process-oriented. Don’t just focus on the end result, but on how you get there. Apply what you learn. Learning for the sake of learning is great, but it’s also easier to stay interested in education if you actually apply the things you learn....
Whenever that Monday comes, you usually find an excuse not to start. Or the best scenario, you start something that turns out to be way too painful, boring, or taking too much energy. I don’t know why it happens, but we usually make the diet or exercise decisions when we can’t button our favorite pants or devour an entire chocolate. But the moment the guilt disappears, we forget about the promise....
George Orwell was rejected several times by publishers for Animal Farm, with Knopf Publishers, in 1945, saying the manuscript was a “stupid and pointless fable.” Vladimir Nabokov received a harsh rejection letter from Knopf too upon submitting Lolita, which would later go on to sell 50 million copies. Sylvia Plath’s first rejection letter for The Bell Jar read, “There certainly isn’t enough genuine talent for us to take notice.” Gertrude Stein received a cruel rejection letter that mocked her style, and even Jack Kerouac’s perennial classic, On the Road received a blunt rejection letter that simply read, “I don’t dig this one at all....
