Antony is a Polar Explorer, Public Speaker and recent Founder of not-for-profit organisation ‘Education through Expedition' which has been endorsed by the United Nations.

Motivation is the inner process of your mind and it drives you accurately to the achievement of your goals. When you make the goals for you, you will be cultivated with the qualities of commitment and determination.

The word motivation is equal to the word "move". Then it means when you are not equipped with the quality of motivational force then your life is still and stale. The life of that person is connected to the failure in every walk of life. Many people are seen...

Every once in a while you run into someone who has mastered the art of living, someone who doesn't just move through life waiting for a certain time or place or person to make his or her time here a life of consequence, someone who doesn't just live on the surface but really soaks it in; the good and the bad; someone who treats life as true adventure.

1. 1.HAVE THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE: (vs. 25)see obstacles as challenges and opportunities for advancement and growth. It matters the way you see!!! In every obstacle there is an opportunity for your promotion. It was the challenge of darkness that brought electricity. It was the obstacle of communication and distance that brought the opportunity of telephone and so on… See with your heart and not your eyes.

One of your friends talk about her problem finding a good office manager. Your palms begin to sweat and you have to rub them dry on your trousers or skirt. Then she says that it is close to impossible to find an experienced secretary who can help her write good memos or proper business letters.

"If you do not see great riches in your imagination, you will never see them in your bank balance." -Napoleon Hill

The majority of my life I have tried to "be realistic". In line with the social conditioning of my surroundings, I too (like most)  have squashed the dreams of my childhood.

Are you feeling the stigma of this rough economy filled with overworked people burdened with excessive financial responsibilities? You strive and strive and feel as if you are just digging a hole deeper into debt! The term "working for yourself" exudes a glimmer of hope to escape the daily grind, but you are quickly shot down by the stories of entrepreneurs taking risks and failing miserably. Is this really for you?

If you identify with workers who feel displaced in...
