Successful people are creative and consistent in how they express themselves. They are happier because they pursue things they are truly passionate about, seeking their goals in their own unique way without conforming or trying to be "appropriate."

Ask yourself these four types questions:

Creativity in Conversation: Am I truly being myself when I'm in conversations? Do I share my true thoughts, feelings, frustrations, dreams? Do I feel like the best of me when communicating with others? If not, how can I open myself up?

Space Creativity: Is where I live a reflection of who I really am? Have I designed or decorated my workspace to be uniquely my own? Could someone get a feel of who I am based on my space?

Creativity in Contributions: How creative was the last presentation or contribution I created or shared? You can't blame your boss or timelines for stealing your creativity. You need to have the will to create unique things. If you're being rejected for who you truly are or for the contributions you find creative and valuable, then that's just an indication you're in the wrong place or community. Don't risk silencing yourself simply to end up a cog. Bring your divine spark, your uniqueness and spirit, to your work.

Creativity in Legacy: Have I started working toward what will be my unique contributions to the world? Pursue your goals and dreams in your own way - it is your voice, contributions and relationships that will ultimately tell the world who you were. Be creative in leaving your legacy - that's how you feel fulfilled and experience The Charged Life!

How do you develop extraordinary people skills? Try a strategy called “Positive Projection,” which is about mindfully exuding positive energy toward others. Here’s how:

1. Honor Others’ Struggle. There is probably an area of your life where you are struggling, right? And you feel the people around you don’t understand, right? People around you don't know how hard you work and how much you have to deal with. Well, that feeling is exactly the feeling other people have, all the time! It is the same for everyone else. But we forget that. We don't see how much others struggle, which is why we forget to be kind and patient. If you want to be extraordinary with people, you have to honor their struggle. Keep in mind everyone is dealing with difficulty and you will be a more compassionate and supportive person, which is the kind of person everyone wants to be around.2. Take Enthusiastic Interest. To practice positive projection, you must become fascinated with others. You demonstrate this by taking active and enthusiastic interest; you ask about their interests, desires, fears, and dreams. When you know others’ values and passions, it’s easier to be positive with them. When you know and champion others, you yourself become fascinating and interesting.3. Don't Mirror Bad Energy. The mirror neurons in our brain make us want to mimic other people’s feelings and behaviors. That’s why you mirror the sadness or joy that you see in others. If you pick up on the overall energy of the masses, though, you will find that it is a dissipated and disgruntled energy, which in turn can make you feel stressed, judgmental and negative. Emotions and energy is contagious. Instead of being a reflection of the world around your, be someone who is willing the energy you want. Choose to generate positivity and give that gift to the world.

4. Send Well Wishes: When I pass by others, I often look at them and in my mind say, “I wish you joy, abundance, health and love.” They might not know what’s on my mind, but they can literally feel good intent coming from me and a positive aura being directed to them. Try it. Just send positive thoughts and well wishes to others. They will feel great around you. They will want to be near you because you are that person who spreads joy and love. They’ll feel your positive charge and, soon, you’ll start to experience what we call The Charged Life!

Brendon Burchard, a #1 New York Times bestselling author and the world's most followed high performance coach, shares how to use your calendar to become a better human.

You calendar can change your life… if you’ll use those 12 months as a strategic plan for becoming the best you can be. Every month, try setting four kinds of goals:

1. Skill development. What skills do you want to develop this month? Have you put those skills in your calendar with specific goals and milestones? What level of mastery are you at now, and what level do you want to be at next month and the month after?

2. Health. Have you ever decided this will be the best year of health you’ve ever had? What are your fitness goals? Is that in your calendar, planned strategically? Do you have goals for how you’ll eat better, work out better, care better for your overall well-being? Put those in the calendar.

3. Fun. What level of fun do you want to experience this year? Have you planned adventures and escapes? Have you scheduled time off or dedicated time to work on passion projects? Too many people forget to actually schedule downtime and fun time.

4. Monthly Challenges. Have you set goals for personal virtue development each month? Maybe next month is a total 30-day challenge to become a more patient? The next month is about confidence, and so on.

Your calendar reveals it all: How is next month going to continue to grow your joy, strengths, skills, passions, consciousness? If the answers are not already in your schedule then you’re not living as proactively as you could. Learn to use the calendar as your ally and soon you’ll be living what we call The Charged Life!

If you raise your standards in these 5 areas, you dramatically improve your life:

1. Health. Have you ever said, "This is going to be the year I get in the best health of my life"? If not, this is the year to do it. Improve your health and becoming happier and more energized and effective happens almost automatically. Raise your standards on how much sleep you get and how well you eat and take care of your body.

2. Focus. Distraction is stealing our lives. Get more focused on what you desire in this hour, this day, this life. Bring your awareness to this moment and what you want to be doing and experiencing now. That will help you be more conscious and more easily spot distractions.

3. Boldness. Where you are in life right now is a direct reflection of how bold you've been up to this point. How boldly do you share yourself, your ideas, your needs and dreams with the world? How courageous have you been to fight after you've fallen down. Demand of yourself to be more bold and you'll feel more confident and influential over time.

4. Joy. Do you expect that you're going to have fun today and in life? Better yet, do you demand of yourself to be the person who brings the joy, who has fun and helps others have fun no matter what? Joy is a choice not a happenstance blessing. Bring the joy!

5. Kindness. People are so driven and distracted that they've often lost the awareness to be kind to others. They might call themselves compassionate, but they are not kind. Kindness is compassion activated - you actually show you care through your actions.Raising your standard here will help you reach higher levels of happiness, service, and humanity.

3 things to focus on so your expectations can have a positive impact on your life:

1. Set positive expectations for yourself.

Those who get ahead in life have positive expectations for themselves. They believe in their ability to figure things out no matter what happens or what opportunity they chase after in life. They understand that there will be struggle along the path but they choose to stay resilient and continue taking steps forward.

2. Have positive expectations for other people.

We expect what we constantly see, so beware of surrounding yourself with jerks or negative people and news. If you regularly watch garbage television or are reading trashy blogs and magazines, then you will start to expect negative things from others. This is why it is so important to have a positive peer group. Your job is to go out and network and surround yourself with positive, visionary, supportive, nurturing people.

3. Have positive expectations for your life.

Expect that you will grow healthier, wiser and more kind. Trust that positive things will come your way, that all things have meaning and purpose, that tomorrow will be another great day or step in the right direction. Good things are coming, and when it feels as if they are not… remember this too shall pass so you can expect another sunrise tomorrow. 

Over time, what we expect to happen to us often does. So expect good things from yourself, from others, and from the world.  Having that positive expectation will help you experience what we call The Charged Life!
