• Breaking The Slide to Inertia

  One thing I’ve learned over the past year is the importance of not letting it all fall apart.

  Once you are past your twenties, and even your thirties, and as aging takes its toll, there is a tendency to relax, go with the flow, and let it all hang out. There [...]

• An Amazing Story….

  An amazing thing happened the other day…

  As the preamble to this, I think I should mention that I am VERY protective of my two cats, Hermes and Shelley. Anyone who knows me probably thinks I go to absurd lengths. However, they are basically my sons, and I’m not ashamed to say it.

  One thing is that they never [...]

• The News Channel I Like!

  Al-Jazeera does not just spoon-feed you the party line of propaganda, by treating the issues ridiculously simplistically, as is often the case elsewhere.

  Instead, they make a real effort to connect with the complexity of each issue they discuss. That’s why you will hear opinions expressed that you just won’t get elsewhere. Other English new channels have too many interests to protect, i.e. toe the party line etc., to ever dare to break new ground in honesty.

• Feng Shui Unblocking

  Feng Shui is actually a pretty complex subject and I don’t pretend to be an expert, but rather a student. Also, without making certain specific Feng Shui calculations, individual for each person and each residence or work place, it’s impossible to say a vast amount.

  That said, there are still certain Feng Shui principles that are universally applicable, and we can certainly discuss those.

• Feng Shui

  For anyone whose been living under a rock all these years, Feng Shui is the Chinese art of arranging your home or office in such a way as to be conducive to attracting positive energies from the universe to aid you in your life, both personally and professionally. It is about creating a harmonious environment that becomes a symbolic representation of what you wish to manifest from the universe.

• Second OptiMindzation CD

  Hello,

  I just received the second OptiMindzation CD in the post a few days back. This one’s about Creativity. It seems that you can listen to it while reading fiction, drawing, painting, designing websites, or anything else generally regarded as creative. Sounds great.

  What’s especially useful about this one if that you don’t have to lie down [...]

• Breaking Through To Open Sky

  The single greatest obstacle to our own progress in life is very often ourselves.

  Quite unknowingly, each of us walks around with a self-imposed ceiling on our own abilities. The ceiling is almost always invisible to ourselves, although it is often very obvious to others who know us well.

  The challenge of our lives is often not to do more, but to stop getting in our own way. We need to find the right route to the results we want, and spend less work and effort blasting away at activities that do not serve us, even if we unwittingly think that they do.

• Mentors: The Fast Track To Success.

  One of the key factors that successful people mention as being a prime reason for their achievements is having a mentor. It’s mentioned everywhere from Napoleon Hill’s book “Think & Grow rich” right through to being the very premise behind Donald Trump’s successful TV series, “The Apprentice”.

  What is a mentor? In essence, a mentor is a person who has achieved a level of success and experience in a particular field of expertise that you wish to master. From this position, he/she is powerfully positioned to help you succeed rapidly, by short-cutting the process and showing you the inside secrets to making rapid advances.

• Mentor Fortunes - New Life Coaching & Mentoring Resource

  Everyone from Napoleon Hill to Donald Trump talks about the importance of having a personal mentor in any area where you wish to experience dramatic and rapid success. So, who is YOUR mentor? Most people don’t have one. Yet, in study after study, the presence of a mentor has proved to be one of THE critical success factors.

• A Thought To Cheer You Up!

  In these slightly troubling times, I just wanted to share a thought. it may be one you’ve heard before but it does not hurt to repeat it.

  Gratitude.

  I try to be grateful for whatever I can be grateful about. Who I am, what I have, the good things around me.

  In a world where the focus is increasingly upon lack [...]

• On Getting Ideas

  It is the people with ideas who win most of the desirable places in the world. The person who can create something new and different is wanted - and rarely by the police! He is in demand for his ability to develop ideas. Those who achieve conspicuous success in business and advertising, in radio, drama, literature, journalism, in politics, society, and indeed all the professions and walks of life can attribute the large portion of their success to their capacity for getting and using their ideas.

• On Doing The Exact Opposite….

  You know, the late Earl Nightingale once said that if you lacked a mentor in your life, and yet wanted to be a success in all you do, you should find out what everyone else is doing in your chosen field and then do the exact opposite….

  And you’ll probably never make a mistake as long as you live!

• Excuses! Excuses!

  One of the greatest hindrances in making any progress in life, business or personal, is our lamentable habit of making excuses for ourselves!

  Whether it’s a pain in the head, a pain in your heart, or that eternal pain in the butt (!), we almost always have a good reason - and probably several - for why we did not live up to our potential, or achieve the success that we felt we deserved.

  However, the sorry fact of the matter is this. Excuses are just excuses, and what was left unachieved remains unachieved. Maybe the excuses make you feel better for a while, and they help you save face in front of other people. However, in the depths of the night, when you are all by yourself and have time to ponder at leisure about all that might have been… what about then?

• How One Book Can Change Your Life!….

  One book can change your life.

  I remember when I worked for a major investment bank. They had just had a staff reshuffle. I survived it because I had only just joined the place as a trainee a mere two months earlier. All the people who had hired me were now gone, and I was left at a loose end.

  Anyway, I found a book that interested me. It was about the whole science/art of forecasting financial markets by using price charts. So I asked the company to buy it for me, and they did. The book cost about $25. I studied it and liked what I read…..

• Terror, Terrorism & Sep 11th

  Just after september 11th 2001, I wrote some articles that, with the benefit of hindsight, almost read like prophecies! They were highly unpopular with a large number of my ezine’s readership then. Then again, America was in a state of total denial at the time.

  I think the following years have brought forth a lot more understanding of the role of Cause & Effect in world events, and of the so-called Terrorism going on. . So I doubt that my comments are quite as “offensive” as they seemed then.

  Time and recent events have brought a lot of people around to many of the sentiments I expressed in the first article. Please note that it was written before Iraq, Afganistan, or the present morbid absorption with Terrorism that the world seems caught up with today. But I warned about a lot of what was to come FIVE YEARS ago. Read for yourself and then come back and post your thoughts here…
