What is one thing you have absolute control over? Well, you may not be exercising control over it at the moment, or at times, but potentially you are capable of having complete control over this.
This control, which you accept or release, makes the difference between success and failure. That difference can sometimes be measured in a few minutes, a few days, a couple of millimeters, or a few feet. (more…)
You might say I was a late bloomer in the dreams department. Having grown up in a high commitment religious environment, where having ideas or dreams was frowned upon in favor or putting the “greater need” above our own desires.
Well, that’s a story for another time, but if you’re like me, I can imagine you are often motivated by the great people you’ve seen accomplish their dreams and goals, and are living amazing lives. We’re told we can do it too. Somehow we often do not pay attention to challenges they went through to get there. (more…)
Often, we may experience emotional hijacking when problems show up, especially if they catch us by surprise. Whether personal or work related,we are often so overwhelmed by the thoughts and feelings of the moment, we may not see the solutions clearly. How do we keep that from getting us stuck?
No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”

Frustration is probably starting to sink in. Are you one for setting New Years resolutions and goals at the beginning of the year? Had BIG ideas filled your head as the freshness of the New Year stirred your bravado? Maybe things are going well, and you’ve just gotten things rolling, or you feel in the groove with your new weight loss program or the business project you put together with your partner. If so, kudos!
As for me I sometimes wonder if I have ADD, or whatever they’re calling it. I tend to think of myself as a pretty upbeat person, always interested in getting involved in something new. It’s the getting started part that always gets me going. Then that idea needs a place to go, some landing gear, but before I know it I’m off to a new challenge. Am I the only one? (more…)
Did your parents tell you to be content with what you have, when you were growing up? Mine did and I know they meant well. Sometimes people ask, “Why can’t you just be happy with your job?” or career, income, status, etc. That desire in your gut is an often misunderstood and maligned part of the healthy you.
Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s essential to be content with what we have. I strongly believe showing gratitude for all the good in our lives is a must if we are continue receiving. However, it is my belief that, to quell desire on its existence alone is a mistake, if we are to grow, develop, and reach our full potential. (more…)
What is Nelson Mandela’s legacy? I’ll leave writing that up, to others who definitely know better, but here are three takeaway’s from his life you can use to change your part of the world, locally or globally.
Earlier this year I watched the movie Invictus, which highlighted the early days of his presidency and all I can remember is the deep impact it had on me. I was moved to tears. (more…)
It happened. The unexpected came to pass and now you’re screwed. Really? Something happened. So what? Are you gonna go through door number one, door number two or door number three? As crazy at it may seem, you’ve simply been presented with choice.
Yes, those crazy things that come at us can be so frustrating. Problems may come from our boss or a relative, or even a complete stranger. Maybe there it’s just a failure or mistake on our part. In the end there’s nothing you or I can do about what happens.
This is the fascinating thing though, we always have a choice in how we react. Our mind is an incredible meaning machine. (more…)
Yep, there’s more to do with that sexy feeling than… well, you know. Great fun and pleasure! And in addition to nurturing your intimate relationship, it can actually transform your work, activate your creativity and yes even impact your bank account. Sounds more like a turn off. I know! But hear me out.
Those days after a great date or an intimate night with our lover or significant other can be some of the best days of our lives. I know I’ve had incredibly productive days in that state. Walking on cloud 9. I don’t need to convince you of that. I’m sure you’ve experienced it for yourself.
This, often misunderstood, aspect of our lives provides us with an invaluable resource. In his landmark book Napoleon Hill made an incredible connection between sexuality and our mental faculties. He said:
The human mind responds to stimuli, through which it may be “keyed up” to high rates of vibration, known as enthusiasm, creative imagination, intense desire, etc.
He listed 10 mental stimulants in his book Think and Grow Rich. At the top of the list, as the most powerful, is sex, followed by others which included, love, music and auto-suggestion, also known as affirmations.
What these things do is, increase the frequency of the vibration of the mind. Viola, you are connected to new thoughts and potential, a genius state if you will, otherwise inaccessible in your ordinary state of mind.
Sex desire is the most powerful of human desires. When driven by this desire,
[people] develop
- keenness of imagination
- courage
- will-power
- persistence
- and creative ability unknown to them at other times. (more…)
