So, is there really a SCIENCE to getting rich?

Well, three famous personal development superstars (all of them in the movie, "The Secret") - Jack Canfield, Bob Proctor and Michael Beckwith definitely think so.

That's what I keep hearing. People keep saying, they tried the Law Of Attraction. But for one reason or another, they couldn't make it work for them.

That's rather strange on the face of it. After all, what could be simpler than (1) Ask (2) Believe (3) Receive?

Often in life, we get discouraged because we feel overwhelmed, we compare ourselves with others negatively, or we see how apparently far away the goal is compared to where we are right now.

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. Do not believe in anything because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.

One major key to effective use of time is to have a fixed routine of activities that you stick to every day. I have found that since adopting this approach, I get far more done far more effectively. It may take a bit of experimentation to figure out what those activities are, and when specifically you create time to do them, but this procedure will benefit you tremendously in the long run.

The other evening, I finished up my shopping at the supermarket and was heading home in my car. The main lighting in the car park was off, which must have distracted me somewhat as I had to fumble to get into the car, and then strain to see the keyhole to turn the ignition.

We should also realize that crises are not an unusual visitation, but a normal part of life. Rather than ask, “Why did this happen to me?”, we do better to simply accept that it has happened, that crises happen to everyone and just get on with learning to deal with it and move on.

Sometimes, you get more than one at the same time.

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 are all kinds of seemingly good excuses for this. After all, isn't it natural to fall apart with age, bit by cruel bit? If the senior members of your family are carrying some spare baggage... well, then it must be genetics, right? And who can fight that?
