How to Use The Power of Kindness and Giving

February 1, 2012
A particular kind of happiness can be found by fulfilling the wishes of others - it can be considered a way of paying it forward.


Helen Keller said:

"Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy: it is that which we think and feel and do first for others than for ourselves."

Reflect on that as you go through this posting because kindness and giving to others is about creating hope, visions and dreams of a future. Our culture, at least, the way I see it in western civilization is not so civilized anymore. We have become a society of entitlement with a "me-oriented focus". It has become less and less of others with a more consistent approach to ME.

The truth is we don't seem to give enough anymore - no kindness - no compassion - no caring. What kind of values do we have if we do not care for our fellow man? If you want to be happy, then practice a giving and caring compassion for others. If you wish to live life to the fullest instead of just 40 or 50 percent of your true potential then offering gifts of kindness to another human being will create a sense of your real worth and value, which in turn acts as a fuel for the desires, dreams and visions of others.

Kindness and giving can be contagious, and it will draw people towards you. We live what we learn, and if we are not teaching the next generation to be better, to be considerate, to add value to others then this world of "entitlement and me only" will just worsen.

Consider this, with persistence and patience each on their own, can do their part one person at a time. To offer a gift of kindness and to teach others to do their role and within a short period we can be back to the world where we care and give to our fellow man for the betterment of all humankind.

WE can be the stuff that dreams are made of by offering to others so that we are the stuff of their dreams come true. It is not about giving each of us our pat on the back for doing small acts of giving and kindness. It's about our generosity being strictly anonymous and pure with no desire or expectation of acknowledgment, reward or anything in return.

Remember the most successful and the most fulfilled are those people who care and show giving to others for the mere satisfaction in the happiness they bring others.

What Can You Do To Make Yourself Unstoppable?

January 29, 2012

Most of us have kids, and at times we see them playing video games, l mean for hours. You know why they play for hours, not because they are winning, but because they are losing. They are doing all they can, to get to the next level of that game, and then they get sent back to square one. They do this over, and over again, trying to achieve the next standard of the match. Where they made a mistake or a wrong turn, they take the approach and the challenge with a new strategy.

Let's talk about our Kids

Let's think about this here for a minute, kids learning, and teaching themselves to get to the next level over and over again, is this not what our life's as adults is all about. We as adults, give up way to quick, just because we made a wrong turn, and fell flat on our face, and got sent back to square one. How come we do not approach our mistakes as kids do, and start all over again, and apply new strategies to get us where to want to be.

They Understand what they are doing

One of the biggest reason l never get upset watching my kids and friends playing video games because l know one thing they are learning problem-solving skills, and experimenting with different approaches, they're gain confidence but most of all having fun but yet learning life strategies.

They Take one step at a time

Each time they get to next level of that game, they will have to repeat the same process over and over again. The ability of not beating or winning that game never even enters their mind. Wow; kids have this ability to tackle problems, and face them over and over again and yet we as adults, we have a tendency to hide from our obstacles in everyday life.

They Understand How to Start over

So the next time you have an obstacle in your way and you're having a real hard time with it, think about your kid or any kid playing a video game and how he approaches the obstacles that sent him back to square one. He thinks, and decides to apply new found strategy to his new approach, how we should also as adults approach our let downs, never allow the thought of defeat even enter your mind.

Their Magical formula 

If you approach each obstacle with this mindset you going strength your conviction, raising your expectations and then you will conquer your fears that have held you back for so long. The more you apply this formula, the easier it will get, and you will recognize each small victory along the way making you stronger and you will start to believe in yourself like never before. How you make yourself unstoppable one small victory after another.



See kids do have the ability to teach us, we just have to understand how they think, they have no boundaries in life defeat never enters their minds. So the next time your kids are playing a video game learns from them by watching what they do.

All the Best,

Using A Newsletter Can Be a Powerful Tool, For Your Business

December 3, 2011

We as business owners forget about the clients we already have in our database. One of the most powerful tools you can use with your already existing clients is sending out a Newsletter on the monthly basis. An excellent way of creating and developing a personal relationship with your customers. Even if it seems like a one-way relationship, it works.

A newsletter allows you to have a private discussion with your client that is personal and informative. It has proven to have the same effect as you dropping by your clients office and talking to them face to face. The only difference here is that your client can't talk back to you, but that is okay. They have now perceive that you are taking time out of your very busy schedule to be with them. I will tell you this; it works, and you get immediate results.

So you need now to ask yourself, how often should l send out your newsletter? The most effective for me is monthly. Why so often? You more than likely know how quickly your clients forget all about you and your company. If this is not a reasonable time frame, then, at least, send it out quarterly. So you need to write these newsletters, if your not a good writer, then hire someone to do the writing for you.

If you have several different departments, within your company, get each manager of each department to share information that will have an impact and interest to the reader. Display your products, have the picture of your team, hold a monthly contest, provide interesting information to the user and you will have a customer for the rest of your life.

You can spend a few minutes each day developing information for your newsletter before you know it; you have enough original and refreshing information for your clients for that month. The most important key here is to have fun with this new form of advertising. Get your team involved with the newsletter and the rewards will be knocking on your door.

It's one of the most efficient ways of spending advertising dollars and being able to see immediate results from your clients. As you create and develop your newsletter, keep in mind to always try to found ways of improving what you already have. The best way to feel the efficient of your newsletter is by talking and listening, to what your clients have to say about each issue.

How do you do this, whenever you meet your clients, make it a habit to ask them directly their thoughts on the latest newsletter you sent. You can create a link on your newsletter to your website, where your readers can post a comment on your newsletter or run a contest for them to provide you with much-needed feedback.

All the Best,

Well November is here and October is done!

November 4, 2011
A new month and new goals for all of us to achieve, we all have ambition and determination to achieve our financial goals in life. I have read many books, but one always stands out for me, written by Napoleon Hill, in his book “Think and Grow Rich” he speaks about the mastermind plan. The mastermind plan is about duplication and getting results done. Having a group of minds developing and sharing concepts, ideas and making them all grow without boundaries.


Without boundaries, what key phrases to have! The opportunity to achieve what the minds have created and the ability to take action on your new found opportunities. We all have this ability, but to accurately, efficiently and have the determination to achieve your dreams is a step most of us never achieve. Why is that? We all get distracted by our mind, thoughts, personal surroundings, obstacles in your life has an effect on this creative thinking.

Working as a team, creates a very positive atmosphere, motivating one another to achieve the goals that were written to be performed and reap the rewards of success. The internet has become so competitive with so many unrealistically affiliated programs that promise you success without any work involved. No recruiting, no sponsoring, no need to get your family involved, etc., etc. We all have read countless, splash pages, landing pages that lead you to that promised land of milk and honey.

So what is my point for taking the time and writing this article if it has no direction, solution or meaningful information that will enhance your abilities and talents. The point is “Marketing is an Art,” how you rank, promote, showcase your first impression is the most important step you can achieve. Why l created the “APSense Blog TO support WRITERS WITH TALENT,” who share information that would help us all achieve success by helping one another out.

Everyday l read article after article, view sites, blogs, forums and most are just after one thing them self’s why many do not stick to the dream that was written. When you have support from a team of winners, you will always be reminded of how to get where you are going if you get off track. I will promote, your articles as l have always in the past, APSense is now Ranking 3,400, let’s get under 3,000 before Christmas. How do we do this, understanding how rankings are determined by the World Wild Web?

Creating Backlinks, leaving comments on blogs, following other blogs, understanding how the “Bounce Ratio” works within the spiders that crawl your site and provide you with a score. The bounce ratio, good and original content is an important bloodline in your success for page ranking, SERPs, and indexing your articles. I would like to post at least four articles a day on the APSense Blog from different members. Items that our readers, followers will benefit from reading and sharing our knowledge so we all can benefit from our efforts.

Thank you for taking the time in reading this article, if you got this far! Now all you need to do is applying what you learned and found useful from this article. Do your homework, not a get rich piece, just one that will make you a lot of money when you follow these steps.

But l have written many articles on this subject, review what l have writing on this topic, check the groups l created and you will understand one thing. I did it because if you become successful, then l got my prize l helped you become successful.

All the Best,

Reviewing and Understand who and what you want in life.

June 18, 2011

Reviewing and having a look at yourself, no one knows you better than you. I like what Cheryl wrote it made a lot of good sense we all need to see what direction we are going and making the changes to improve us overall standards of living.

Knowing our weakness is so important, and then we can carry out the correct adjustments so we can stay on track of our dreams, goals and have this ability will help us reach our destination. No need for big changes just minor tune ups here and there reminding us of what we already knew most of the time.

So next time things are not going your way take your time and find your weakness, or what is holding you back and then you will know what the answer is to correct your problem. It's all about making your attitude stronger as you drive to become the best you can be in life.

Take a sheet of paper out, turn it sideways, so the long side is the top of the page. Belief or not, relax your brain. Now in the middle of this sheet of paper, write you are main why in life.

Now start writing additional information that is related to your why in life, mess around, have fun with your obstacles that are holding you back. You will be pleasantly surprised on how easy it is to improve and eliminated them obstacles that are holding you back in life.

What you're doing is providing your abilities an opportunity to understand how to overcome and move forward from your emotions. Your mind needs to be focused, and this is the only way you can direct it to the right and positive direction of self-improvement.

If you need a little motivation to get this program off the ground, l would like to invite you to the most important 15 or so minutes you will spend on educating who you are.

All the Best,
