"Only when we accept the fact that we are where we are because of choices we've made in the past can we live every day of the rest of our lives in the certain knowledge that we can do anything we want to do if we simply make the right choices."

Succeeding at the game of life requires: Acknowledging that the results you get from life are a direct reflection of your habitual thoughts, words, and actions. Choosing your own path and not the path laid out for you by others. Dedicating yourself to something worthwhile. This is your higher purpose or in other words your personal legend. Dedicating yourself to daily growth and to learning from experience, from other people, from mistakes, and from failure. Taking advantage of opportunities to move your life forward in a better way. Taking full responsibility for your life, choices, decisions, and actions without complaining, blaming or making excuses. Cultivating curiosity each and every day. Asking plenty of thought-provoking and insightful questions about your life, problems, and circumstances. Remaining flexible in thought and open-minded to new perspectives, ideas, and opinions. Holding true to your highest core values. Making the necessary short-term sacrifices for long-term gains. Making tough decisions that feel uncomfortable and may involve considerable risk. Regularly giving back to society. Consistently challenging yourself and continuously raising your personal standards. Overcoming unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, habits, and fears that are holding you back from living life in an optimal way. Choosing to fight and stand-up for your values, beliefs, and convictions. Avoiding getting caught-up in the cycle of procrastination and instant gratification. Fully accepting that life isn’t always fair, that it can be uncertain, that it is full of pitfalls and is constantly changing. #success #gametheory #life

Stoicism is a school of philosophy that hails from ancient Greece and Rome in the early parts of the 3rd century, BC. It's important to keep in mind how differently people thought then. People's primary concern was to avoid living an unfortunate life. Therefore, they were more likely to order their thoughts, decisions, and behaviors to promote increased life satisfaction. One of the most important things to keep in mind is individuals didn’t automatically assume that they would achieve happiness by attaining money, prestige, and or beautiful things. With great urgency, people wanted to understand how they could have an excellent soul.

Intelligence is a mental characteristic that consists of the ability to learn from experience, adjust to new situations, understand and use abstract concepts, and use knowledge to mastering new situations. The concept of intelligence today is generally considered to be a set of different, individual independent intellectual abilities. Although the definitions of intelligence differ, theorists agree that intelligence is a potential rather than a fully developed ability. Intelligence is considered to be a combination of inherent characteristics of the nervous system and developmental intelligence, shaped by experience and learning.

Success isn't all about talent. In her new book Grit, psychologist Angela Duckworth investigates the characteristics of people who achieve great things. She finds that being successful isn't all about having the right genius and talents. It has much more to do with grit--a unique blend of passion and perseverance. The great news is that your ability to achieve doesn't depend on what you were born with; if you want to be successful, you can stop focusing on your natural talents and start developing your grit.

A 2013 music therapy study focused on NICU infants found that the fixed meter and decibel of recorded music could not compare to live lullabies. Singing songs with a personal meaning not only helped regulate the babies’ sleep patterns and heart beats, but also reduced stress and anxiety in parents. #lullaby #babies #sleepingmusic

Researchers had 72 men and women work on a task with a partner. The partners (who worked for the researchers) either mimicked the other participant's behaviour or didn't, while researchers videotaped the interactions. At the end of the interaction, the researchers had participants indicate how much they liked their partners. Sure enough, participants were more likely to say that they liked their partner when their partner had been mimicking their behaviour.

Psychology can also be a useful tool for improving your overall health. From ways to encourage exercise and better nutrition to new treatments for depression, the field of health psychology offers a wealth of beneficial strategies that can help you to be healthier and happier.

By challenging some of our misconceptions about how and why people behave as they do, psychologists are able to provide answers that help solve real-world problems.

Lullabies are universal: Found in almost every language around the world, they cross cultural boundaries. Regardless of origin, most lullabies are comprised of a few repetitive verses arranged over a 6/8 time signature, a meter that mimics the back and forth of a comforting rocking motion.

This music helps you to enhance positive energy inside your mind and body. It is also very helpful to activate your chakras. Research confirms these personal experiences with music. Current findings indicate that music around 60 beats per minute can cause the brain to synchronize with the beat causing alpha brainwaves (frequencies from 8 - 14 hertz or cycles per second). This alpha brainwave is what is present when we are relaxed and conscious. To induce sleep (a delta brainwave of 5 hertz), a person may need to devote at least 45 minutes, in a relaxed position, listening to calming music.
