Screw What You Want, Go for Bliss

I don’t ever want to hear another success or personal development quote again. When I get FRUSTRATED by seeing so many cliche quotes and sayings out there, I FEEL that way.

If I was to follow them all, I’d never DO anything.

But then, all you need is just the right one to CONNECT to exactly the results you’re looking for.

If there is one I’d have to pick, it would be:

[shareable cite=”George Addair”]’Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the OTHER SIDE of fear.'[/shareable]

Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear.

Bet you anything, thing tripping you up is the word “WANT.” “I’m easy going. I don’t want anything,” would just be an excuse for not FACING your fears.

It is like that sometimes. Remember my story about rollercoasters? I didn’t WANT TO FEEL the fear of dropping and rolling.

What most people don’t realize is that there is an amazing reward when overcoming most fears. What we think we want is rarely what we DEEPLY DESIRE. It’s just beyond your fears.

[shareable cite=”Abe Stone”]What we think we want is rarely what we deeply desire. Move beyond your fears.[/shareable]

What we think we want is rarely what we deeply desire. Let's conquer our fears.

It’s hard to describe until you’ve DONE it, but the bliss of swimming effortlessly in the water, the happiness of having and raising children, the rush of riding a roller coaster, the accelerated heart rate at the moment of a first kiss are worth any fear or apprehension.

You may or may not have been interested in any of these things, but if you’re like most of, I know you’ve ENJOYED the EFFECT or you will.

Are you hesitating? So? Step out anyway.

Do that thing you’ve wanted to do or take up that CHALLENGE you say you don’t want. You’ll love connecting to the BLISS you’ve been missing.

[reminder]See you on the other side of fear. I’d love to hear YOUR story.[/reminder]

I love Will Smith’s story.

3 Easy Steps to Save Yourself From Stress and Burnout

When it comes to joy-killers, stress has a way of zapping any energy reserves you may have. Fun or pleasure may be the last thing you are able to think about, while the concerns that are stressing you are still in your head.

A friend of mine texted me the other day asking if I had any tips for relieving stress. She is self-employed and runs a small English teaching business.

(Images) 17 Love Quotes to Take You Deeper

With all the buzz about love, I thought of seeing what Google had to say. Considering a picture is worth a thousand words, I simply typed love in my search for images. Here’s a screenshot of the results. Does Google take love to only be the romantic love between two people who love each other? Well, it does seem to be the dominant view.

As I scrolled down in my search (17 mouse scrolls to be exact) the theme didn’t change much. I believe the love between two people who love each other is a wonderful thing. It’s been attributed as a key to a success in life by many of the greats throughout history. In fact, experiencing it at some point in life is an essential part of a rich full existence, but how about some of the other, less talked about, aspects of love.

Consider some of the alternative images of love I found as I searched a little deeper. (more…)

Feeling Sexy? Fire Up Your Genius

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,
