Ever seen all those celebrities on television and how they just exude so much radiance and magnetism, that you cannot help but stay glued watching them? What is it about them that keep them attractive and desirable?

The answer is one word: charisma. The process on how to achieve and possess such similar charismatic flair involves another word: colors.

The following are basic tips and advice to help you have your own charisma with the use of colors and style techniques.

First things first, know yourself.

It helps to get the varied opinions of people who know you best. Ask around and interview family members, friends, relatives, or colleagues, and try to make them give an opinion – an honest one of course – of what it is they think are the colors that best suit you. Alternatively, you could always ask and engage the services of a consultant that specializes on image enhancement.

Such a professional could readily determine the kind of colors that work best for your particular eye color and tone of your skin, as well as your hair.

Choose the colors that work best for you.

A very effective way to test which colors are best for your skin is to face a mirror, preferably with natural available daylight, while holding a fabric or a piece of clothing under your chin or beside your eyes. Now, observe which stands out. Does the color stand out or do your features stand out?

Appropriate colors should focus more on you, and not on the dress or garment. If you have eyes as blue as the ocean, then wearing a dress that is similarly blue in color will help make your very own eyes attractive and stand out.

Wrong colors are those that make your appearance dull. It may even look repulsive, or it could cast a shadow on you. Wrong colors also give people the impression that you are sick or tired, even if you feel perfectly fine.

Apply prints and shapes.

Prints in any garments you plan to wear should just as well be proportionate to your physical features, as based on the naturalness of your body’s geometry. If your features are between medium to small, it is just as perfect that any patterns or jewelry you are to wear are sized in a similar manner.

Also, your face’s shape and features should also determine the shapes and kinds of accessories you are to wear. Oval faces may just as well wear oval earrings as well. However, a combination of features is present sometimes. Eyes that are oval sometimes belong to a face with a chin that is square. Look in the mirror and analyze what goes best with what.

Layer your clothes.

Sometimes, this is the best recourse for anyone, so as not to appear overly dressed or under dressed for the occasion. Wearing layers makes it convenient for anyone to take off that scarf, jacket, or tie, so as not to appear too formal.

Overall, practice makes perfect. Eventually, getting used to the colors you have on you will make you more confident and attractive, as you get to determine which makes you feel more magnetic and charismatic. The important thing is being comfortable with your own skin, your own color, and your own style. Work on those features, enhancing them without the need to change them. You are unique; embrace your uniqueness. That charisma cannot be bought or sold.

Life offers an abundance of choices in every aspect.

The array of choices can be very vast. At times, you have to stop and ponder which one you really want or need. In many instances, after making a choice, you are confronted by another array of sub-choices.

The simple act of shopping for a pair of shoes has to pass through the process of making choices. First of all, you make a choice of which shoe store to visit. After making a choice, you enter a shoe store. Upon entry, you are likely to be welcomed by a sales clerk.

After the usual courtesy, you are bombarded with a series of questions. Questions like what kind of shoes you’re looking for. After you say so, it will be followed by questions such as what size, width, color, etc. While leading you to shelves of shoes on stock, you do a round of self-questioning on which pair appeals to your taste, style, and of course, budget.

The same thing is true when it comes to convincing people. You will be confronted by a choice of words to use to get your message across clearly, effectively, and persuasively. Choosing the right words can determine the success or failure of your intended objective.

Words can be appealing or appalling. How the recipient perceives a word can also depend on the recipient’s mood, condition, and sensitivity.

Say for example, in the company you work for, there’s a campaign to ask for blood donors to help a blood bank. If the bulletin announcement tells would-be donors that there’s a bloodletting activity scheduled for so and so, it is likely to attract less people. It feels as if you are compelled to donate blood.

Reword the announcement into ‘Your blood can save a life’ provides an emotional appeal. The improved version makes you feel needed and encourages you to donate blood willfully. Even if you are apprehensive to do so, especially when you are a first time donor, your tendency to be charitable prevails over your apprehension.

Words have a way to persuade or dissuade by helping set the mood to make the person more agreeable to your proposition. Author Hal Urban conducted a test using two sets of words.

Included in his first set of words are the following: jail, riot, terrorist, gloomy, forbid. Stop for a moment and examine your mood. Proceed to his second set of words: friend, kindness, peace, baby, blessed. Compare the two sets of emotions conjured from these sets of words. Words can indeed set the mood.

In your choice of words, the target audience is also an important factor to consider. In fashion, if your intended market is the rich and famous, the clothes you create should be centered on glamour and sophistication. Your marketing strategy can play up words such as ‘one-of-a-kind’ and ‘exclusive.’ Price would likely be insignificant.

Advertising is one profession where the choice of words is so important. Choosing the right words can determine a boom or doom. A message can be projected in different ways, even if the message means the same thing. The way words are projected can shape the future of a product (and even the company!).

A word need not be complicated or flashy to make it impressive. Oftentimes, a combination of the simple words packs the most powerful push to persuade consumers into buying a certain brand. How can you resist patronizing from establishments with slogans such as “Just do it,” “Coke is it,” “Billions served,” and “International Bestseller?”

Simple yet meaningful words bring in sales that keep the cash registers ringing. No wonder the advertising field is one of the most sought-after, fought-after battlegrounds. Advertising is just one of the vast array of fields where you can learn the language of persuasion.

Everyday, everyone is faced with having to choose the right words. There are persuasive words for different people on different occasions. Respect the power of words. Choose wisely.

In the words of Buddha, “Words have the power to destroy or heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.”

Greg is a CEO of a small company in Pennsylvania. This man started the company somewhere in college and has developed it into an enterprise that is exporting goods to other countries.

One day, a former classmate from Penn State decided to call and ask the man to become the speaker of a small seminar on entrepreneurship back at the old campus.

Feeling honored about being given the opportunity, Greg sat down and started thinking about what to say to these people. The message should be clear and concise. “I will share my experience,” he thought. This will make the audience understand that his journey to the top was tough and there were a lot of setbacks.

Giving a motivational or inspirational message to people is like selling a product. The audience has to be convinced that if Greg was able to succeed, so can other people.

To make sure that Greg will be able to give a truly inspiration talk, he should make an outline. This should start with an introduction of the entrepreneur as a student who later on built a company. The main body should describe the details, such as the successes and the failures that became his lessons in life.

The end of the talk should focus on the things that are being anticipated and hoped for in the future. This will make people believe that having a business isn’t easy since one has to be always on the competitive edge.

The audience will really appreciate it if there’s an open forum after the talk. These people can ask certain questions which need more explanation. This can provide solutions to those having a hard time with an existing business.

After his speech, Greg will be able to know if his talk was effective if the audience will be given an evaluation sheet to be filled on the way out. This will give people like Greg a gauge on how effective the session was.

If people found it boring, then Greg should probably change a few things so that next time, the audience will feel inspired afterwards. Should the participants love it, this is a different story.

Greg has found a niche that can be used again to also motivate and inspire more people to work hard and be successful in life.

There are many ways for a person to spread the good word to others who need a little push. He can advertise the services to companies and other organizations that would like to get the help he can provide.

The individual can also write a book and then have this published. There are a lot of CEOs’ that have done this and the lessons learned are also applied and studied in business schools across the country.

Some people may not even have to write a book. The individual can also write the success story in a website which people can look for by making sure this is one of the popular ones that will pop out in one of the search engines.

Greg’s evaluation for the talk was very good. The friend who worked in campus asked if this could be done again. Greg didn’t know he has this talent inside. The lessons he learned can be shared to other people. This will inspire and motivate others who are probably thinking of giving up on their journey to success.

How much percentage in a class of 30 students would agree to you that Mathematics is a great subject? You might answer “around 10 to 35%” and that is all. True, most kids today are not thrilled to solve Mathematical equations not because they do not know the processes involved, but because of the lack of interest in it.

In a similar way, our daily activities do not mean 100% joy and 0% problems. At times, we have more problems than joy. Fortunately, some individual are skilled in handling problems right. Want to know their secrets?

Well, carefree people, as some might call them, have one thing in common: optimism. These kinds of people do not mean they never had problems before. Try remembering a colleague, a relative, a friend, or someone from your community who has the brightest smile at the start until the end of the day. How many times did you see that person frown? Carefree people are fun to be with because their attitude is contagious. Have you tried asking them how they carry their problems lightly? Below are their secrets:

1.      Learn to control your feelings by separating negative feelings from positive thoughts. This is the first step in solving problems. Only after you have cleared your mind with unnecessary thoughts can you start solving your problems accordingly.

2.      Treat each problem as challenge and opportunity for self-improvement.

3.      Free that scapegoat attitude. Are you pointing your finger or blaming others for mishaps? Take responsibilities for your mistakes. No one is perfect, so never put the blames on others.

4.      Use a pen and paper, and rate the depth of the problem and possible answers to your problem. Probability law principle will allow you to evaluate how far you have thought of resolving your problems.

5.      Keep a journal and treat it as a “secret friend” who is always willing to listen to your grievances. Write your feelings freely.

6.      Develop a noteworthy hobby, for this will help you lessen or minimize stress in your life.

7.      Take time off from work and create variations of your daily schedule. Relax and check out the best movies in town. Travel and meet new wonderful people. You will find these activities worthwhile in the long run.

The above tips will help you optimize those positive feelings of yours. Say you are already consumed by some problems. Here are the 1-2-3 steps in doing your problem solving:

1.      Determine the root cause of the problem. If you think it is difficult, ask hundreds of why’s and what’s and you will soon find out the cause.

2.      Think, strategize, and act for resolution.

3.      Develop a strong desire to solve the problem.

4.      Review the situation for you to avoid repeating the same mistakes committed beforehand.

Consider that everybody experiences lowliness many times, but problems are problems. They are there not to annoy you; but problems are created when you cannot accept your limitations. Once you accept your limitations, problem solving is just a 1-2-3 step, hassle-free, and a life-sharpening experience indeed. Hence, never consume or lock yourself in your room when problem strikes. Think that problems are states of your being limited to something you need the most. But if you cannot have that important thing, accept it. Let go and you will free yourself with worries. Remember, less worries mean less problems. If you think that you really want some time out because of problems, consider that there is another room available for you called “improvement.”

Let life drift by WITHOUT a clear, definite, and determined purpose. You now have the perfect formula for boredom!

If you let the day pass by without zest and vigor, you are opening gaps to allow dull moments to creep in. Before boredom sets in, counteract it with any of the following tips:

Go to a place where you have never been to. Anything new will make your mind curious and refreshed. This lifts the dullness off your current way of living. New places bring back the child-like curiosity in you. Curiosity keeps you alert; and traveling is, by far, the best antidote to boredom.

It is often said that, “All work and no play, makes a dull day”. You need to work in order to pay the bills. However, working without fun once in a while may result to listlessness. Once a year, take time out to go to a new place or foreign land (if your budget can allow it!) and add new information in your intellectual vault.
If you are a pet lover, drive over to a pet shop of your choice and choose an animal companion. People say that dogs are the most loyal companions. You have heard of dogs risking their lives for their masters.

A friend of mine says that having a dog in the house can be an exhilarating experience. Every time she gets home from office, her dog welcomes her at the door, making her feel important and appreciated (no offense to the spouse!)

If you cannot have pets at home, one alternative is to have plants. Other people find it therapeutic talking to orchids, roses, and every conceivable flower in the plant kingdom. Flowers in different hues, and the color green, can be relaxing to the eye.

If you have a green thumb, why not try this hobby? If you feel exhilarated when surrounded by plants, go ahead and grab your gardening tools!

Boring life can be made exciting via food! Aside from being the source of energy (and extra pounds!), use food to make life exhilarating. Be on the look out for new food ideas through eating and discovering unique restaurants.

Consider cooking as another activity that can perk up the mood. Cooking exposes you to various flavors and textures of ingredients. Who knows? You might be looking at a future business venture when you indulge on your passion in cooking.

Discover what you want and love to do. If you are not into it by now, this is the ideal time to start the discovery process. Perhaps now is the right time to learn a new skill like playing a musical instrument, enroll in a gym, and pick-up new habits. This will do wonders for your life in terms of physical health and elimination of boredom.

Others engage in volunteer work. This is another alternative that is surely fulfilling and uplifting to the spirit.

In all these activities, you can invite similar-minded friends to join you in your journey. The moment you choose to pursue a clear and definite purpose and do something that puts meaning into your life, you have taken the initial step towards a life of constant fulfillment.

We can find happiness right in our own home, our workplace, in school, in the company of our friends, etc. It is up to us to find the ways and means to achieve that happiness each of us seek and long for. However, it is essential to recognize that there is no one absolute way to achieve happiness. People may have different ideas with regard to the ways of achieving happiness.

The following classifications are perceived by many people as sources of happiness:
(1) Family and friends
(2) Wealth
(3) Position/Rank
(4) Educational Achievement
(5) Fame (i.e. politics, arts, sports)

(1) HAPPINESS IN FAMILY AND FRIENDS

The very first place where happiness dwells is right in our own homes. We find happiness just by being with our family - our parents, spouse, children and grandchildren. In fact, they are our source of strength and inspiration. Having a harmonious home life gives us happiness - one that we truly cherish and treasure.
True friends are also a source of happiness. The support we get from them goes a long way in helping us to get by in times of troubles. Somehow, friends make our life complete.

2) HAPPINESS IN WEALTH

A lot of people associate wealth with happiness. Almost everywhere in the world, people are preoccupied in the acquisition of wealth. They look upon wealth as the main source of happiness. To some, wealth and happiness are synonymous.

Not that we should despise the rich and the famous or discourage others from aspiring to be so. There is nothing wrong with dreaming of becoming rich just as long as we acknowledge that wealth has limitations. Furthermore, our priorities must be clear from the very start. Clearly, we must know what should rank first in order of priorities lest we spend our days in this world meaninglessly and without hope. The pursuit of material riches should not be on top of our priority list.

How many times have we heard of people with millions of money but are willing to give it away just to have peace of mind? They live in a state of fear, that is, fear of losing their wealth through robbery or theft. They also fear for their life and the lives of those they love. These fears may even lead to sleepless nights, stress, tension, mental anguish, heart attack and death.
Understanding and accepting that happiness has nothing to do with the accumulation of wealth is perhaps the most liberating realization we can ever come to.

3) HAPPINESS IN RANK AND POSITION

Can real happiness be achieved through the attainment of high rank or position in society?
To many, the answer is “yes.” For most people, having a high-ranking position is synonymous to power. Such persons would have the power to rule and lead. If they become “good leaders,” they would be able to lead based on sound moral values and good work ethics. In return, they would earn their people’s trust, obedience, support, loyalty and cooperation. Eventually, they would find happiness and satisfaction doing their job.
However, any person who is entrusted with authority and abuses it would definitely be responsible for misuse of power. His position would only be a source of misery, as he will be confronted with issues such as corruption and problems like loss of public trust, public revolt, coups d’etat, etc.
History can speak for itself. How many unwanted rulers, kings, emperors, and presidents have been overthrown? A good example is former Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, who ruled the country for 20 long years, but his reign came to an unfortunate end. He was “thrown” out of his own country by his own people and spent years thereafter in exile.

4) EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS

Can earning the highest level of education such as doctorate degrees give happiness? For people who derive happiness from learning, knowledge is power. Some successful people have attained high levels of education.
However, we hear about professional people who are successful in their own fields and yet feel miserable and depressed because they feel that something is missing in their life. We hear of doctors being sued for malpractice and negligence, of judges committing suicide, and of many other sad stories that are hard to believe but are actually happening to professional people. Does education really guarantee happiness?

5) HAPPINESS IN FAME

Fame is also associated with happiness. In sports and various careers, it is translated to victory, winning, and attaining the status of a celebrity.  Are famous men and women happy?
Let’s take the case of sportsmen. They practically devote their whole lifetime practicing to be the best at their chosen sport. However, sports can sometimes be so stressful, especially when they are carried to the extreme. Imagine the kind of pressure sportsmen have to go through to win over a game. To cope with high expectations, they take prohibited drugs to have the stamina and endurance required in their chosen field!
Consider the despair, embarrassment, shame, and ridicule that they have to endure whenever they lose a game! So, let us ask ourselves - can a life exposed to such pressures and humiliation be a truly happy life?
The story of the famous football player, Diego Maradona, is a very good example. For a time, his name was everywhere - in media and on almost all advertisements. Football earned him “wealth” and “fame.” But what caused his downfall? He used cocaine during an Italian league match! Consequently, he was arrested.
Let’s focus our attention in the field of entertainment, specifically film and stage actors, singers, dancers, etc. Is the world of entertainment a source of true happiness?
It is surprising how many people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is short-lived while happiness is a more lasting and meaningful emotion.

Going to a ball game, watching a movie or television are fun activities that may help us relax. We “escape” and temporarily forget our problems. After the movie or any fun activities, reality sets in and we confront the same problems. There are things that do not and could not bring any real happiness to the person because their positive effects last only as long as the fun lasts.
Let us analyze fun and entertainment around us. It is a well-known fact that these so-called celebrities have practically everything that “seems to spell happiness” - wealth, glamour, fancy cars, expensive homes, etc. However, it is also no secret that beneath all their fame are stories about depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, children out of wedlock, broken marriages, extra marital affairs, etc. It is said that Elvis Presley, the undisputed King of Rock n Roll, died of drug overdose.

For many, the future is bleak. The continuing escalation of prices, natural and man-made calamities, terrorism, local and global strife, family problems, poverty, criminality, famines and other crises do bring desperation and hopelessness.
What they believe as solutions to their problems turned out to be abysmal frustrations. Sad to say, many have become withdrawn and apathetic to their problems. Some have become indifferent and unconcerned about what could happen next because they have done everything in their power to succeed, but to no avail.

Can we still find happiness in such a depressing situation? Yes, it is still possible to find happiness in such dire predicaments! What happens around us is largely beyond our control, but the way we choose to react is within our control. In short, even in the midst of difficulties in life, we can still make happiness happen; that is, if we want and choose to make it happen. True enough, life is what we make it!  Isn’t this a wonderful discovery?

Marriage is the ultimate relationship you could ever enter. It’s more than a bond between a man and woman, it’s a joining of souls. With the current trend of marriages dissolving nowadays, especially because of infidelity, the question that nags both men and women the world over is: will it last? Whether you’re legally married or just cohabiting, admit it, the question of keeping your partner faithful is tugging at your heart. But what exactly does it take to keep your man or your woman?

Is it keeping your muscles so tight that your neck looks like it would pop a vein any moment now? Is it keeping your nose at an angle that would burst balloons? The good news is, it actually doesn’t have to be as costly as any of that. The better news is that one way to cheat-proof your marriage is actually so simple that you can do it effortlessly. With practice, that is.

And what is that, you ask? It’s having realistic expectations.

One of the causes that a partner will want to stray is that the emotional climate in the marriage is already stifling. One major factor that encourages a suffocating climate in a marriage is that one or both spouses have undue demands on the other, that the other simply can’t meet because it’s not in his or her nature. The root of this is that reality does not line up with the partner’s expectations of the other, and vice-versa. If you seek to keep your spouse from straying, you have to remember to keep it real. Have realistic expectations.

How do you acquire realistic expectations? Simple. The basic thing to keep in mind is that no one person can meet all your needs, all the time. This simply means that you shouldn’t let yourself believe that once you’re married, you will be in total bliss. This simply means that you have to realize that there is no such thing as a totally perfect fit to your personality. Your spouse may want to watch sports sometimes, and you won’t be able to pry him away from that, even if you really, really ache to go shopping.

So what can you do to encourage having realistic expectations? You have to remind yourself constantly to give your spouse some space. If your spouse cannot meet your need now, use your own emotional resources, or go look for a same-sex friend to keep you occupied for the moment. Learn not to resent those times when he or she cannot provide what you need. But in case you do resent it, always remember to go back and talk with your spouse how you felt, in a calm and rational way. You can talk about how to work around filling each other’s needs according to each other’s capacities.

Another thing you have to remember is that your personal happiness is your own responsibility. You are the captain of your ship. You may not hold the actions of others, or how circumstances will go, but you do hold the decision of how you’ll react to these actions or circumstances.

You simply cannot expect another person to keep you absolutely happy all the time. When you do that, you are turning into an emotional vampire, feeding into someone’s emotional resources just to keep yourself emotionally stable.

What you can do to remedy this is to read up on how to boost your self-esteem, on how to be emotionally self-sufficient. You have to develop emotional tools to cope with feelings of insecurity or instability. You cannot expect that people will adjust to you all the time, or that your spouse will baby you forever. You have to realize that a relationship is a mutual effort, that you have to put in as much as you take out of it. You cannot give what you don’t have. So if you have such low self-esteem and low to zero love for yourself, you cannot expect to be able to have the emotional reserves with which to nurture your spouse.

So what is that bottom line to cheat-proof your marriage? Keep a healthy emotional climate in your partnership. This starts by keeping healthy expectations towards your spouse, which starts in keeping yourself emotionally secure, and keeping your self-esteem balanced.

Communication is the catalyst in relationships. Be it family relationships, friendships, or romantic relationships, not only is communication the engine of all human transactions, it is also the lubricant that enables people to connect, and remain connected, with each other.

If you’ve noticed, the breakdown of a marriage starts when a spouse no longer tells the other what is happening to him or her, what his or her thoughts are, and whether there are some issues that need to be resolved. Typically, a divorce starts with one or both spouses clamming up. Once communication is shut down, the process of marital disintegration is set in motion.

The root of an affair is exactly that: communication breakdown. I am a firm believer that quite a number of couples who divorce still love each other. The only problem is that the communication between them has broken down to the point that either one is apprehensive of rejection, or pride makes them want to keep giving each other the cold shoulder. Because of this emotional climate in the marriage, either one of the couple may seek a friendship or a “shoulder to cry on”. And this is the usual storyline of most affairs. Dissatisfaction in the relationship leads one party to go out and seek escape, solace, or even merely a listening ear in someone else. Which could eventually lead to a dangerous liaison simply because the hurting party was too vulnerable at that time. This emotional vulnerability is the one thing that will make an otherwise committed spouse risk his or her marriage in favor of temporary thrills.

So how exactly do we avoid communication breakdowns in our marriages? Relationships need work and commitment, and it’s a daily “dying to self”. By this I mean that we have to make sacrifices to keep the marriage working.

But if you love your spouse, making things work will not be too difficult. You only have to nurture the relationship and each other, and make sure that you connect on a daily basis.

Below are a few suggestions on how to connect:

· Talk often.

· Do things together as often as you can. You can take walks together to get in exercise, or you can do chores together.

· Practice being comfortable in silence. Silences could become the most intimate parts of your relationship. This is when you could just savor the presence of each other without feeling the pressure to communicate verbally. Touch is the most healing of all human (nonverbal) communications, and it would really nurture your relationship if you touch often.

Aside from these practices that will nourish your relationship, make sure that you deal with your problems and issues as they arise. Nothing kills a relationship faster than wounds that have been allowed to fester. Never let offenses accumulate and turn into anger and resentment.

And lastly, enjoy each other. If you need help to enjoy each other again, then seek it. Counseling and marital therapists abound and they really help in teaching you tools how to handle relationships. And don’t forget reading up on self-help, like these resources from us. Knowledge could go a long way in cheat-proofing your marriage.

Good luck!

While you may know how to use the law of attraction to reach a goal, how do you apply it on a day-to-day basis to attract only good things in your life? This is important as little things can add up. Occasional negativity can have quite a strong, lasting impact on your life. So, with the law of attraction in mind, do the following to attract only the good:

• Start your day right. Each morning, mentally tell yourself that today is going to be a great day.

• Always be thankful for something. Everyday, think of at least one thing you are grateful for. It need not be something big - it could be the sunny weather, the nice conversation you had with your friend, or anything else that makes you feel good. Immerse yourself in that feeling of thankfulness for a minute or so.

• Fight negative with positive. When something bad happens and you start feeling bad, allow yourself to feel it only for a short time and do not wallow in it. Then think of something positive that will be powerful enough to replace the negative in your mind - it could be the image of a loved one or a very beautiful place you want to go to. You can also play your favorite music, read an inspirational book or anything else that would put you in a positive frame of mind.

• Surround yourself with positive people. Being around them will keep you positive. Avoid or minimize contact with people who drain you of energy or make you feel down.

• Have moments of quiet or stillness. Meditation is a very good way of re-charging especially after a busy day. It need not be anything complicated. Just relaxing, taking deep breaths and not thinking about anything for a few minutes can do wonders if done regularly.

Simply put, the key to attracting good things is to stay positive.
