Only a few more days and 2010 is over!
Will 2011 be a better year than 2010?
Only you can decide how your year will be. While we can't control life circumstances, we can decide how we react to them. When we leave life to chance each day, we also leave our future to chance.
When we're committed to what we want, the future moves from "chance" to "how" and "when." What in your life needs to move from "chance" to "commitment"?

Happy Holidays!
By Mike Monahan, CEO and executive director of Life Success Seminars Inc.
Most of us are celebrating something we believe in during the month of December. It's a time for friends, family and good food.
While I don't like the holiday-season rushing, I do love watching my grandkids run around our house and having fun.
Nancy and I are often very busy, and we don't get to see our kids and grandkids as much as we would like. Of all the accomplishments I celebrate, none stack up to how proud I am of our five kids. They are good people and good parents. What more could a parent ask for?
I wish you and your families a very happy holiday season!

2-4-6-8
By Mike Monahan, CEO and executive director of Life Success Seminars
In Life Success's Basic seminar, we discuss the concept of responsibility and the difference between "responsibility to others" and "responsibility for yourself." And we look at how responsibility affects your relationships.
Whether they admit it or not, most people are taking responsibility for 2-4-6-8 or any number of people!
It's easy to get caught up in taking responsibility for the people we love, like children, parents or friends. It seems like a great idea in the beginning, but eventually this always drives a wedge in the relationship.
If you want the best relationships, understanding this concept is critical: We are responsible for ourselves and to others.

Relax, Relax, Relax
By Mike Monahan, CEO and executive director of Life Success Seminars Inc.
You've probably heard the saying, "The third time is the charm." I'm not sure where the saying came from, but I went ahead and made up what it means to me!
In my life, success hasn't always happened on the third attempt. But I do usually reach my goals with repetition.
Relaxing is no different than any other goal in life. With practice, you eventually find the way that works best for you.
When we first attempt to do something new, it often feels like an effort and might be frustrating. Learning to center and relax may be a struggle when you first start but, with practice, you will improve.
In other words, just relax as you learn to relax!
