Ya-ttitude: Lists Gone Amok! 2008-04-15 12:51:01 I spend a great deal of my free time reading. I love books, but blogs have really become an obsession. I have all kinds of Google alerts that now tell me when key words are hit and send me all kinds of blogs to read. I have a well-defined long list of blogs I read [...] Read more:Lists
Ya-ttitude: Things that make you go Hmmm 2008-04-10 16:08:45 Hey I just received this email from my daughter.
I agree - too much time on her hands - but it must be great to be just shy of your 18th Birthday and on Spring Break…
Does this mean I should move to Arizona and start that Golden Rule Corporation?
Greenberg:
The name of the family from the [...]
Ya-ttitude: The First Mission - Read All About It! 2008-04-09 09:41:30 A while back I started to talk about developing a positive attitude –
Your Ya-ttitude. I think we have reached a point where we should start to set up a few anchor points that will start you on your way. I know that regardless of what our ultimate goals are finding different ways to make [...] Read more:First

Ya-ttitude: Give and Take 2008-04-02 12:26:28 D0 you have those days when you just read something and it makes you go – Ohhhhhh!
Well today was definitely one of those days. I was reading some of the blogs that are on my “feedburner” and ran across a blog called In Worship and on it was a Post called “Are you a Consumer.” I [...]
Ya-ttitude: Mail Call 2008-03-27 12:05:42 I recently received this comment in regards to the Procrasti-NATION posts.
I understand where you are coming from. Yet I believe procrastination whether it’s a virtue or a vice is totally dependent on the context. In many cases, we do not like to do something and push it for later, for reasons that we understand or [...]
Ya-ttitude: Battle Lines are Drawn 2008-03-20 16:24:50 Procrasti-NATION has held a stronghold over the United Attributes of Initiative for quite a long time; millennia perhaps. But with success on the line; your very future at risk, and the dreams and desires we all hold close to our heart being threatened, those Attributes have taken hold and are making a major push to [...] Read more:Battle

Ya-ttitude: Procrasti-NATION I.D Card 2008-03-15 06:00:01 Based on my last blog post…
Procrasti-NATION The Masses have spoken; and here is the first example (Thanks Tim).
Yes, literally hundreds of you have asked me for an “ID CARD” so you can either be counted as a Denizen of Procrasti-NATION or you can use it to burn as you secede from the Union!
You can do [...]
Ya-ttitude: Procrasti-NATION 2008-03-10 15:37:44 Stand at attention and face your future.
Place your right hand over your eyes and your left hand over your mouth.
Persons dressed in Procrasti-Nation’s official uniform should remain silent (as usual).
Face reality and render your self “ready to submit” to those who have decided its time!
Repeat after me…
I pledge allegiance
To a reality
That I have no control [...]
Ya-ttitude: Defending the “If” 2008-03-10 08:10:31 I really want to thank everyone who sent me email(s) in regards to and in response to the leadership blog from last week. I really never realized that it would strike up so much conversation and controversy as well as so many distinct points of view. I hope I answered all of you who have [...]

There are two major types of Leadership. The first, and by far the most effective, is LEADERSHIP BY AUTHORITY of, and with the sympathy of [...] Read more:Leadership

Loss or impairment of the ability to act or to make decisions.
Abulia derives from Greek a-, “without” + boule, “will.”

A weekend Cure 2008-04-19 14:22:18 I think that it is time for a little practical application to our cure for abulia. I received many emails and some interesting thoughts and ideas, but here is my challenge to you. It is a one-to-two week challenge but the results will amaze you. For the next fourteen days (seven days for you non-believers - but [...]

Concentration 101.2 and more: Time to Focus 2008-05-07 16:49:25 Concentration 101.2 (thru .6) Time to Focus
A key element to the entire study of Ya-ttitude is Focus. While running on the treadmill, aren’t we supposed to find a spot to focus on and go-go-go? I remember when I played ball in my recent past. Our batting coach always reminded us about finding a spot on [...] Read more:Concentration
Concentration 102: A Ya-ttitude of Desire 2008-05-12 15:18:30 Concentration 102: Desire
Desire is an important topic where it is related to your success. You will have noticed that I have touched on the subject many times during the writings, starting right from the first post: The 4-Step Plan to Success until this one here; and be sure we will be talking about it many [...] Read more:Concentration
Sleep Deprivation Cured: Sleep Concentration 2008-05-13 14:43:39 My Last few posts were fairly long, so today I figured I would give something a little shorter to read, but just as important to your success, your life and your Ya-ttitude.
Most of you who have read along over the last few weeks and months or have followed my comments here and elsewhere realize that [...] Read more:Concentration

Concentration: Control Yourself 2008-05-16 12:31:43 It has been my pleasure to work with some real positive people. It has also been my misfortune to have sometimes worked with and even for those who have not been able to maintain their self-control. Flying off the handle for the smallest of issues and just plain-out losing it on more occasions than being [...] Read more:Concentration

Fear; Just Say No 2008-05-20 20:54:04 Fear; Just Say No!
Just say no to fear, sounds too easy doesn’t it. Oh Ya-I can see you out there rolling your eyes at me and shaking those fingers in my direction; Here are three links from previous posts of mine that I believe will help you with the unnecessary body gestures and movements as [...]
Fear; The Final Frontier 2008-05-21 20:44:04 Fear; The FinalFrontier
!
Fear is definitely not the place that “no man has gone before’” but let me take you on this trek. We will seek out the reasons behind those “ten hot-button fears” and see how a deeper exploration and understanding will show you just how easy it is to colonize them; one-by-one!
Let’s start with a [...]
Fear; I Ain’t Scared of No Poverty 2008-05-26 19:58:53 Fear; I Ain’t Scared
of No Poverty
Your Personal Recession Buster
The fear of poverty was not my original choice for the first fear to explore, understand and be comfortable enough with for it to be eliminated from our list of great fears. My original first fear to work on was going to be the fear of [...]
Fear; Criticism and Embarrassment – Be Gone! 2008-06-01 14:44:04 Fear; Criticism
and Embarrassment - Be Gone!
The fear of criticism is almost as universal as the fear of death and just as destructive as the fear of poverty. The fear of criticism can and will rob a person of all their initiative. This is THE fear that destroys a person’s creativity and imagination - [...]

The Hypochondriac’s Oath
The Fear of Illness and Disease may as well have been dubbed the Hypochondriac’s oath, as all Hypochondriac’s live by it and most who have this fear may be Hypochondriacs. This fear is very closely related to two other great fears; The Fear of Death - The Universal Fear [...]
