Inspire Yourself on Purpose – Inspiration from Inside Out
2007-11-09 06:00:05
For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi. Here are twelve common sense reminders on how to inspire yourself. The word “inspire” derives from root words that mean “in spirit” or “spirit within.” Although there’s always another step to take, these points are a natural result of recognizing and identifying with this realization of who we really are: (1) Remain calm and centered, even when everyone around you seems to have lost their mind. Act from your heart center with decisive clarity, rather than reacting to the mayhem around you from “off the top of your head.” (2) Trust yourself, even when others don’t trust you. Understand that their mistrust is a reflection of them, not you. (3) Respond from the depth of your being, rather than from the surface of the present interaction. If someone lies to you, it’s no excuse for you to lie to them. If they break their word, keep yours anyway. If som

Balancing Desire with Contentment
2007-11-16 06:00:03
For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi. It’s a fine line we walk between wanting more and feeling satisfied with what we have. Desire is unavoidable – it comes with the territory. Our experience helps us realize what we prefer and what we’d rather avoid. The natural result of this process is desire – desire for more of whatever we prefer. Perhaps our desire for more is the very same urge to expand and grow that’s in all life. The tiny acorn is wired to burst forth into a mighty oak tree. It doesn’t worry or care if this process is good, bad or indifferent – it’s just the way things are. Could this thing we feel called desire be the same force that keeps the entire universe growing, expanding and becoming more? We humans are unique (as far as we know) because we experience this irresistible urge for growth consciously. Other species grow, develop and change instinctually, but we do it deliberately, consciously, on pu

Ego or Soul? Who’s Driving?
2007-11-23 06:00:21
For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi. I’ve found it helpful to think of two separate entities who inhabit my body. First, this is an important distinction. You often hear of someone claiming to “have” a soul. The viewpoint inferred by this choice of words begs the question, “If you have a soul, who is having it? The body? The mind?” To me, it seems more accurate (and more useful) to think about it the other way around. That is, soul is who I am (who we all are) and we now have a body. Even though I identify my sense of self with soul, there seems to be another “something” inside forever jockeying for position and making its presence known. This is the ego. What’s the difference? How can you know which one is in charge? What are their characteristics? Soul’s Attributes Soul is all about peace and contentment. Soul perceives the outer world through the five senses via the mind. Soul perceives the i

Enhance Your Self-Image on Purpose
2007-11-30 06:00:44
For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi. The idea of “self-image” is often a static concept. You hear of people with a “low” self-image or a “healthy” self-image. Whatever it is, many people seem satisfied to play the cards they’re dealt. Few people seem to realize their current self-image can be a departure point as they move toward the kind of self-image they specifically choose and deliberately engineer. Your self-image is much more than something that “happens to you.” As you first start thinking about your self-image, it’s natural to be curious about how your current ideas about it originated. Your first impression may be that other people’s ideas and attitudes about you were instrumental in creating your self-image. If your childhood and early adult influences were positive, encouraging and nurturing, you may feel these experiences contributed to a reasonably positive, healthy self

Consciously Programming Your Subconscious Mind Before Sleep
2007-12-07 06:26:54
For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi. We are all continuously feeding our minds with the words we read, the audio we hear, and the images we see on the screen. The ideas we expose our minds to immediately before going to sleep are powerful. They sink deep into our subconscious mind as we ease into the alpha state of consciousness, as part of the sleep cycle. Here, the subconscious mind reviews the ideas over and over, not because they are the most important, but simply because they were the most recent. We all experience this phenomenon regularly. Pause and think about the last time you woke up feeling like you’d been dreaming all night about whatever your attention was upon before sleeping - a movie, a TV show, an article. Since it’s easy to recognize this principle in action, how can we use it deliberately to enhance our personal development? Programming the Subconscious Unconsciously To drive home the point, here are some ways peopl

Persistence and Perseverance for Winners - Losers Just Quit
2007-11-02 07:00:17
For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi. Giving up is easy. Most people make a habit of giving up. In fact, they make a life of it. Achievers approach problems and setbacks with an entirely different attitude. When adversity strikes, they look for work-arounds and adapt their procedures. As a result, they may find better ways of proceeding toward their dreams that they may have never discovered otherwise. Instead of reasons to quit, winners see apparent road-blocks as opportunities to fine-tune their methods in order to continue re-inventing their approach to make it the best it can be in any given moment. Quitting is for losers. Persistence through a solution-oriented attitude is for visionaries, dreamers and other winners who refuse to take “no” for a final answer. “‘No’ is a word on your path to ‘Yes.’ Don’t give up too soon. Not even if well-meaning parents, friends, and colleagues tell you to get &ls

What God Wants
2007-10-26 07:00:38
For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi. Occasionally a book comes along that has the potential to change the world. I just finished reading such a book - a small book with a large message: “What God Wants: A Compelling Answer to Humanity’s Biggest Question” by Neale Donald Walsch. If you are new to this author, he is the one who wrote the “Conversations with God” series. This new book is not written in that style of conversational dialogue, but it’s just as direct, clear, well thought out and spiritually moving. The main premise of the book is summed up by the three words of the title, and the answer to this implied question has far-reaching consequences into all areas of life: religion, government, society, culture, evolution of consciousness, and the potential of mankind’s future on planet earth. The book asks some mighty big “what if” questions. My paraphrase of the biggest question is, &ldquo


Good Listener Secrets - Listen with Your Heart
2007-10-19 07:00:01
For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi. When someone is talking to you, do you hear with your ears, monitor with your mind, or listen with your heart? Listen ing skills are major contributors to the quality of our personal relationships. But, good listeners are hard to find. Invest a few minutes thinking about the importance of listening well - a deliberate conscious act - and watch your relationships grow to a new level of closeness and understanding. “Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. When we really listen to people there is an alternating current, and this recharges us so that we never get tired of each other. We are constantly being re-created.” - Brenda Ueland We Don’t Have Ear-lids Have you ever wondered why we don’t have ear-lids? When we’re tired of looking, we close our eyes. We can breathe through our mouth to stop the smell. The sense of taste can be turned off by keeping our mouth

Choose Excellence and Lose Mediocrity
2007-10-12 07:00:25
For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi. Is your life too full to take on anything new? Are you too busy to give any attention to a new business idea? Is it possible you’ve allowed your life to fill up with mediocre pursuits and time-devouring activities? Mind-numbing busy-work can steal your energy and make you feel too tired to seriously consider other directions and opportunities. What if you knew that a life of excellence was lurking right around the corner, if you would only prioritize your moments in such a way so that you could recognize it. Take an objective look at the various activities of your life. Get inspired to lose the mediocre to make room for something better. Most of us are content to remain in our comfortable ruts. The rut is familiar, it feels safe and can be counted on to produce the results we have become accustomed to. But, ruts have nothing to do with adventure, inspiration and excellence. A rut is like a grave with both

Kryon Discovery Retreat Review
2007-10-05 07:00:51
For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi. Last week-end, Janey and I attended a three-day event at the Sunrise Ranch in Loveland, Colorado. It’s called the Kryon Discovery Series - An Interactive Retreat featuring the profound core teachings of Kryon. It was produced by our long-time friends, Dr. Sid Wolf and Dr. Amber Wolf. The main attraction was Lee Carroll, prolific author and channel for Kryon. We were invited to play music each day as part of the program, so we had the double privilege of being participants as well as contributors to the event. About a hundred people attended and everyone I talked to had a positive experience. By the end of the event on Sunday afternoon, everyone was glowing. It was a profoundly moving experience for most, and I know of at least a few who had a life-changing catharsis. An Inspiring Diversity of Fascinating People The teamwork was impressive as so many experts were available to share their expertise with ever


Life Drama as Blockage to Personal Development
2007-12-21 06:00:03
For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi. Some people seem to relish drama in their lives. They go from one catastrophe to another. They thrive on it as if drama is what makes them feel alive. You may be able to see that they are attracting these experiences by their daily thoughts and feelings. But, they don’t recognize it from within the narrow confines of their personal drama. To someone immersed in drama, the idea that they are creating it is completely foreign. They think, “Surely I would never choose . . . (fill-in-the-blank). They act as if such an idea is totally absurd. There are two scenarios that can explain this kind of manifestation of drama: 1) They are not yet aware that thoughts and feelings are powerful creators, so the dramatic results created are not deliberate. 2) They have at least considered the idea of deliberate creation, but still have unidentified fears holding them back from further personal development. Rather tha

How to Live the Life of Your Dreams Through Intuition
2007-12-14 06:00:00
For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi. Intuition feels good. That should be enough of a clue it’s something that can be trusted. But, our culture has done a thorough job of instilling doubt about the wisdom of following our instincts. Instead, we are taught to think things through and be logical. These mental tools are important, but they were never intended to be used instead of intuition. They work better when used in conjunction with intuition. “The only real valuable thing is intuition.” - Albert Einstein (1875-1955) There was a phrase popular in the ’60’s that encapsulated the wisdom of following your instincts and paying attention to your intuition: “If it feels good, do it.” At first blush, this may sound hedonistic, but if you dig a little deeper, perhaps it reveals wisdom from the soul. When we feel good, we are on the right track. Our thoughts and emotions are in alignment with our deepest aspiratio
