Michael A. Verdicchio's Articles in Personal Development

  • Where Are You Today? Where Will You Be Tomorrow?
    I heard a statement over thirty years ago that really shocked me, confronted me, and helped me to start thinking logically about my life. Your belief system is what you believe. It is what you accept as right or true. And, most importantly, it is what you will attract into your life.
  • What You See Is What You Get
    Why do we think that it is just fine and normal to beat ourselves up for our failures and shortcomings, but somehow think that it is egotistical to recognize and acknowledge our successes? I think we've got it all backwards!
  • Guess What Happened Today?
    Each morning when you wake up there are endless possibilities. This could be the greatest day of your life so far! Well, why not? Would you regret it or object if it was?
  • Are You Too Old Now?
    Birthday celebrations are interesting aren't they? When you're a child, you look forward to them and they are so much fun. But the older we get, the less we look forward to celebrating another birthday. Why is that?
  • Quit Complaining!
    Regardless of any limitations that you may have, the Creator never designed you to be a failure. With His help, nothing can stop you from living your dreams and having the desires of your heart.
  • How Tall Are You?
    Have you noticed that the world lacks people who constantly encourage others? The sad reality is that people are quick to point out all your shortcomings but slow to give you praise for your accomplishments. Don't let anyone talk you out of your dreams, goals and desires. Don't talk yourself out of them either. Live life with excitement and push toward your full potential, just like NBA star Earl Boykins does.
  • Fire That Commentator!
    A commentator is one who discusses news or events. He or she will interpret and analyze events. A commentator does more than just report the facts. The dictionary definition of a commentator is, "an expert who observes and comments on something." There is a commentator you know very well that needs to be fired immediately!
  • I Struck Out Again!
    If you are going to be successful in life, then you cannot blame other people, circumstances, or even the tools that you use. Instead, take responsibility for your life by developing the skills that you need.
  • How Much Money Do You Make?
    The picture you carry of yourself is what you will see happen in your life. That is the reason some people never move any higher than 10 or 12 dollars an hour. They would love to get an increase, but inside, they see themselves as a 12 dollar an hour earner. Where do you see yourself?
  • The Real Energy Crisis
    Since late last summer the cost of oil has skyrocketed to record prices. But that's not the real energy crisis. The real energy crisis is in the price millions of Americans pay every day for worrying. Yes, worrying!
  • The #1 Cause of Failure
    What is the biggest roadblock to success? What sabotages your job, or your relationships? What is the number one cause of failure?
  • Temporary Setbacks or Permanent Failure?
    In life we many times feel, "stuck." We wonder how we got into the situation that we are presently in. It is in those times that we need to be careful with how we define it. Have we failed, or, is it just a setback?
  • Where Is Your Life Going?
    You can either accept your life the way it is now, or, you can get on the path to where you really desire your life to go. I am going to challenge you to follow a simple exercise for three weeks. If you do, you will initiate a major change of focus in your mind that will help you greatly in achieving your dreams and desires.
  • Overcoming Discouragement
    The Doctor gave him 6 months to a year to live. He didn't believe that and went on to live another 42 years! Complaining is a total waste of your valuable time and it will never change your circumstances.
  • Stop Looking Back!
    When you are driving your vehicle, you can't get very far without running into something if you're constantly looking into the rearview mirror. I don't recommend trying this! And neither do I recommend doing it with life either.
  • Have You Reached Your Limits?
    Your life is not over! There are things to discover; there are things to learn. What about the things you never dreamed you could do? You can do them!
  • Who Says You Can't?
    So, who told you that you can't? Someone may have said that to you. That was their decision to say it. But only you can determine whether you will or whether you won't. That is your decision.
  • Why Settle?
    Too many people live each day with disappointment, guilt, frustration, shame, and even disgust. They have buried their potential and have learned to settle. But, their potential is not lost, it is just buried.
  • Dream Stealers
    Our environment really does affect us, whether it is the geographical location, the climate, the cleanliness of our home, or even our friends and acquaintances.
  • Finding Your Passion
    Most people are doing what they do because they have to. It is the only job they think they can get. It is the only work that they know. It is the best paying job they think that they can get. How many people do you know who really love their job?
  • August Resolution #1: Take Action!
    But for every goal that you have, implement and revise an action plan. In other words, what action are you going to take to see that goal come to pass? And, try to do something every day to reach your goal, no matter how small or insignificant it seems.
  • I Finally Got My Revenge!
    The anger and betrayal was finally satisfied on that humid day in June, or was it? It was the day I finally got my revenge.
  • The Secret KFC Recipe!
    Now you know one of KFC's 11 secret ingredients, but that's not the point of this article. The point is that persistence alone will not necessarily bring you success.
