Who Is in Controlling Your Life?

Sometimes we want to blame our parents, our upbringing, our past, our boss and even God for areas that we are not doing well in.




Stephen R. Covey shares that "Accountability breeds response-ability" and God say: "Each one of us will give an account of himself to God."
Romans 14:12

"The one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more."
Luke 12:48

"In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy."
1 Corinthians 4:2

"Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you."
Hebrews 13:17

"It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery."
Galatians 5:1

"Keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man."
Luke 21:36

"I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment."
Matthew 12:36

"Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor shall sons be put to death for their fathers; everyone shall be put to death for his own sin."
Deuteronomy 24:16

"We who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves. Each of us is to please his neighbor for his good, to his edification."
Romans 15:1-2

"Bretheren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted."
Galatians 6:1

"The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the father's iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son's iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself."
Ezekiel 18:20

When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Does your reflection radiate: peace, integrity, purpose, determination, solid values and convictions? If the answer is no, ask yourself if you have accepted your role in how your life is at this very moment ~ the good, bad and ugly. Have you made a conscience decision to be accountable for your actions?

When you want to change your life in a positive direction then one of the first steps are to take an inventory of your life and accept accountability/responsibility for your actions, thoughts and life when you do this then you will be living, Mahatma Gandhi statement "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Are you willing to be the change that you wish to see in the world? It starts with taking accountability.

How To Get More Facebook Fans

In the social media marketing world, just about everyone wants to know how to make the most out of Facebook and how to seriously boost their efforts on this site. The thing is though, most people don't know how to use this properly.

Most commonly, I get the question on how to get more Facebook fans. In this article I am going to share with you my secrets and the best ways I know of achieving what you want, as well as making the most of the fans you get.

And you never know, by the end of this you may have learned something you can use!

Firstly, you are going to need very highly targeted and responsive people who are in interest groups that are related to what you're going to be selling. There are a few ways of going about this in the right way.

The main way I use (apart from the last one I mention in this article) is by targeting the people in an industry similar to mine and sending out a friend request to them. You may think this will be something of a futile effort, however it's extremely powerful if you keep on doing it.

When you send out a friend request, there is a good chance that they will reciprocate with becoming your friend. This is good as you will then have someone else to market to.

I just advise that you don't overdo this as it can result in an account closure on your end.

When you have this method down, you can move onto other ways of getting more Facebook fans to your page.

Another thing you can do it to direct your site or blog traffic to your fan or friend page. How you do this is that you can make a mention to your new page at the bottom of each of the posts on your blog.

While this may not drive a great deal more fans to your page, even if it does an extra 5-10 per day, this can mean several thousand extra after a year.

The last method I want to share with you won't be for everyone, though in my opinion it's my favorite as by far the fastest and most effective.

You can now buy fans on Facebook from several companies around the Internet and providing you find one which can deliver them to your targeting requirements, you will have no trouble at all getting success.

The only advice I can give you is that you should definitely not go for the cheapest option as in most cases, you'll get low-quality offerings.

You should now know the best ways on how to get more Facebook fans (and very easily at that) so now all you need to do is to get out there and make the best of what you know!

Five "Cs" To Promoting Positive Relationships

Five "Cs" To Promoting Positive Relationships

Connection/Building a Trust
Connect and build trust with people on a personal one to one level, listen intently, show compassion and empathy, spend quality time with the people, and reinforce your words with actions as trust is the foundation upon which all relationships and interactions are built

Communication
Make an effort to always communicate in an open, honest and direct manner. This allow for people to hear your message as you intended vs. allow others to create their own interpretations and assumptions

Cooperation
Enter into most relationships with a spirit of cooperation this will often lead to a win/win situation. As all parties will feel that their thoughts, ideas and solutions were heard and considered which opens the door for everyone to feel validated, supported and apart of the process/solution

Clear Expectations
Set clear expectations then under promise and over deliver. Stop yourself from agreeing to demands and unrealistic time frames just because you want to please others. Give yourself time to think rationally about the consequences of dedicating your time and energy to it

Contribution
When the opportunity presents itself make an effort to get everyone's contributions, thoughts , and ideas allow everyone to feel connected to the process of coming up with a viable solution that may have an impact on their life/work
