Homeschooling - What Is Homeschooling?

There is a fair amount of confusion over what is meant by homeschooling. This confusion is made worse because each state has a specific definition of what is meant by homeschooling, and the different states have different definitions. Throw in several organizations with their definitions, the definition of the educational establishment, and a number of professors of education, and you have quite a collection of definitions. Let us see if we can provide some order to this confusion. The Fundamental Characteristics

Student Skills – What to Write Down In Class

Many students have a difficult time taking notes in class. The instructor is going through something important, turns to the class, says “Any questions?”, and all he sees are the tops of the heads of students busy writing down what they hope will be good notes. This scenario occurs again and again, to the point where the instructor simply gets frustrated and stops looking for questions.

Goal Achievement Principles: Celebrate Successes

Reaching a goal is typically not a simple or quick task. A serious goal is going to require serious effort. Also, reaching goals is not a straight line progress; the process is full of ups and downs, with progress being intermixed with regression. Sheer willpower and strength of personality is often not enough to achieve a goal; something more is often needed, and the more serious the goal the more that something is needed. One of the things you can do to significantly improve your potential of reaching the goal is to celebrate your achievements. Power of Success

Attracting with Gratitude

The Law of Attraction works in either three or four phases, depending on your perspective. Regardless of how you approach the Law of Attraction, the last phase of its operation is you receiving what you have attracted. The key to this phase is that you receive the result with an attitude that empowers the delivery of the manifested result; otherwise, the manifested result might not make it to where you happen to be. The power which enables the receiving is gratitude. What is Gratitude?

The Right Time Is Right Now

When I was selling life insurance, many times prospects would say they were not going to buy life insurance “until the time was right.” Now, they knew and I knew that was just an excuse for not buying, but I have since heard that many times when talking to people about self-development. “I’ll start that when the time is right.” Again and again I heard that statement.

Understanding the Necessary Changes for Adult Education

When a person decides to continue their education beyond high school, many times they will assume that this new education will be similar to the old education they received. The prospective student makes plans to do what they did before. After all, it worked then, so it should work now. This assumption of similarity leads many new adult students so far astray that they cannot modify their behavior, which means they will typically not complete their program of study, and will not receive the desired degree. All from a bad assumption. The Cause of the Differences

Family Budget Expense Types

When creating a family budget, three factors determine the structure of the document: income, expenses, and savings. After the budget is completed, the next step is to make an effort to improve the budget, particularly by increasing the savings. However, the money for more savings must come from somewhere, either increased income or decreased expenses. If you choose to decrease expenses to improve your savings, you need to understand the different types of expenses. Stable Expenses

Incremental Confidence

For someone who has had little success or achievement in their life, developing a strong level of self-confidence can be a significant challenge. It is a major leap of faith to believe in oneself to the depth necessary to develop a feeling of self-assurance in all aspects of your life. For people in this situation, confidence has to be developed in small increments rather than one large piece. Treating Confidence Like a Muscle

The Worth of Kindness

"Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we do not get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is kindness in everything we think, say, want and do." - Emmanuel Swedenborg

How to Begin the Path to Financial Freedom

When I talk to my students outside of class, many of them agree that financial freedom is a great goal. Unfortunately, when we continue the discussion, they don't know what they mean by financial freedom, and, even if they do know what it means, they have very vague ideas on how to get there. ...

Understand Your Strengths

John Maxwell says that when you put together a plan of action to reach a goal, to accomplish something significant, you need to focus on using your strengths, not compensating for your weaknesses. When a coach of an athletic team is planning a game strategy, he looks at each player for what they can contribute, not where that player is weak. By taking advantage of your strengths, you improve your chances of success and increase the value of your results. We All Have Strengths

Understanding the Law of Compensation

The Universe operates under many laws, some of which are corollaries to others. People who cooperate with the laws and operate within the laws tend to be successful; those who oppose or work against the laws have a more difficult time, despite the appearance of temporary success. These laws work together, supporting each other and enhancing the predicted results. To reap the benefit of working with these natural laws, one must understand how they work.
