Duncan Nugget® #104: An Irresistible Reason

When it comes to motivation there’s the Push Principle and the Pull Principle.

Push comes from willpower or someone forcing you to act. Pull comes from someone persuading you to act or an irresistible reason.

Force, willpower, and persuasion can be extremely powerful, but they ebb and flow like the tide. An irresistible reason is…irresistible. It gets you moving when you don’t feel like moving because…it’s irresistible.

Q & A: How Do You Forgive?

Q: hi! Mr. Duncan, I think I’m at the right place at the right time. I told myself that I will learn how to forgive myself and other people and live in peace with them. But it is so hard and I don’t know what to do anymore. —Doreen, South Africa

[VIDEO] Duncan Nugget® #206: Change and Improvement

Change is inevitable. Improvement is a choice. 

Think about it. Improvement can only happen with change, but change doesn’t guarantee improvement. Improvement starts with having the diligence and wisdom to put forth the right effort at the right time.

By the way, if you think things will improve on the outside without making some improvements on the inside, you are confused.

SELF-improvement is a vital component of life improvement.

People say things like, “It’s time for a change.”

No.

It’s time for some improvement.

Changing jobs or going to a new school; moving to a new city or starting a new relationship might might seem like great ideas, but not if you continue to be the same old person with the same old bad habits, negative emotions, and limiting beliefs.

Million-Dollar Question: 
As things continue to change,
how do you plan to improve?

Duncan Nugget® #178: They Say It, But They Don’t Live It

They say “I want financial independence” but, they don’t live financial responsibility. 

They say “I’m a christian” or “I’m a Muslim” or whatever religion but, they don’t live the true principles.

They say “I want a good man or woman” but, a lot of times they don’t live the life of a good man or woman.

They say “I want to be successful” but, they don’t live a life based on success principles and service. They don’t grind.

A lot of people say it, but…most don’t live it.

Million-Dollar Question: 
Do you live what you say?

The Anatomy of a Threat

Did you know that your body responds to an attack on your character, beliefs, or anything you perceive to be valuable, in the same manner it does to physical threats?

Duncan Nugget® #91: An Ongoing Process

I once heard Earl Nightingale—known as the “Dean of Personal Development”—say that people act like education is a vaccination.

“I’ve been educated.”

Oh, really? And that’s it?! That’s the end? No.
