Personal Development Supercharger - 101 Tips and Techniques 2007-08-24 08:00:44 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
101. Begin something new. Take Action. The most important part of any project is the beginning. Once you get past the starting point, you will be amazed at the momentum. The creative power of the universe responds by lining up the details to bring your dreams into manifestation. Coincidences begin to occur. Your job is to choose and then begin. It doesn’t matter all that much exactly what you do. You’ll have the opportunity to fine-tune the details of your doing on a moment-to-moment basis.
Don’t stress over it. Enjoy the process. Get your satisfaction and joy from the journey instead of reserving your enjoyment only for the destination. Realize that none of this can happen unless you actually begin. So, do something now and approach your goals and dreams one step at a time.

Integrity Through Self-Reliance 2007-08-17 08:00:30 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
Integrity
is defined as “uprightness, soundness of character . . . moral wholeness. Honesty, entirety, completeness and purity.”
How do you demonstrate integrity in your day-to-day life? First, you must believe in yourself.
You must trust that deep inside you hold the answers. You know . . . What is best? What is right? What is true?
“To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men – that is genius.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
This is a very empowering statement, but I see the potential of misunderstanding and abuse in this idea. Emerson probably did too and qualified his point with the phrase, “in your private heart.” A superficial application of this idea could be unproductive; even destructive.
For instance, let’s consider the following attitude: “I believe it’s true that I am a wretche Read more:Reliance
Spiritually Thriving by Choice 2007-08-10 08:00:13 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
Do you feel like you’re thriving - or just getting by? Are your days full of excitement and anticipation, or are your days just something to get through?
Basic skills of living close to nature are not very well known these days. Especially in the West, most people are accustomed to a lifestyle that makes it unnecessary to know these things. As long as the machines and systems of modern life continue to function, no problem. We should never need those primitive skills. I choose to believe this is not a false complacency.
Still, I’m grateful I learned some basic skills in the wilderness of Alaska. I lived there for many years with a subsistence lifestyle, and I don’t regret a moment of it.
If for no other reason, those frontier experiences are good for the sake of contrast. When you have a clear picture of what you don’t want, it’s much easier to focus your attention on what you do w Read more:Thriving

Action and Satisfaction 2007-08-03 08:00:44 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
We live in an action-oriented era. Our lives are structured around whatever we’re doing. Take a look at some of these everyday phrases and realize the prominence of “do” . . .
How do you do? How are you doing? What are you going to do? Don’t just sit there, do something.
The escalation of doing is a worldwide phenomenon. Not just in the West, but the Europeans and the Orientals also seem to be absorbed in the race to do more, do it better, do it cheaper, do it quicker . . . and get it done.
Sure, it’s important to do – everyone has things that need to be done – things we want to do and things we never get around to doing. Time slips by as we are consumed by our doing until one day, even our time is done.

Don’t Take it Personally 2007-07-27 08:00:26 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
Don’t take it personally.
Whatever “it” is, it’s not about you. Even if it’s directed right at you, it’s still not about you. It’s about whoever is doing the directing.
We are all the directors and producers of our own little drama called, “the story of my life.” We’re also the star.
There are lots of supporting actors and actresses in our story. They all have their own opinions, preferences, and foibles. Just like me. And just like you.
“It is better to be making the news than taking it; to be an actor rather than a critic.” - Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
Whenever one of the other actors expresses an opinion about you, don’t take it personally. Why not? Because, it’s really not about you. It’s about them.
Their comment, whether it’s good, bad or indifferent, is a reflection of their story, their drama, and the w
Take Time for You 2007-07-20 08:00:25 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
Do you feel that taking time for yourself is a rare luxury? Do you continuously come to the rescue of everybody else, while time for yourself gets bumped to the bottom of the priority list?
It’s vitally important to allow some time for yourself. Take time for whatever is truly important to you. And take time to rejuvenate and recharge your energy. If you don’t, you can run yourself down so low, you don’t even realize you are drained, until it’s too late. Then, you don’t have anything left to give others, even if you try.
This is a difficult situation for many people. Does this sound familiar? “I’m just too busy to take any time for myself. I work long hours and my family needs me. Besides, there are so many things that I need to do. It would feel selfish to take any time for myself.”

Facing Fear with Deliberate Awareness 2007-07-13 08:00:37 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
Fear is over-rated. We do it to ourselves. Fear has no reality other than our attention to it. Redirect your attention and the fear dissipates.
Where did it come from, and where did it go? Most importantly, why do we do that to ourselves?
In centuries past (and millennia past), fear was an important tool for survival. Faced with a hungry wild animal, our fear kicked in, and our imagination provided us with graphic images of what was about to happen. Lunch! This powerful motivator triggered a surge of adrenaline, which triggered our fight-or-flight reflex. Hopefully, the result of this chain of events would be our survival to feel fear another day.
These days, our opportunities have significantly diminished to provide lunch for wild animals. But, our fear reflex still kicks in, just the same.
“There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them.” - André Gide (1869-1951)

Work– Just a Job or Visible Love? 2007-07-06 08:00:26 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
“What do you do for a living?” That’s an odd phrase when you think about it.
“How do you make a living?” That’s another one.
For those of us interested in personal development, a better question may be, “What do you do to make a life?”
Or, more specifically, ” How do you continually recreate your best possible life? How do you manifest the life you were born to live?”
Is there a particular profession, business or service you were born to fulfill? Are there different niches that fit you perfectly, at different times of your life?
These are questions to be answered one person at a time, in the privacy of your own mind, heart and soul. If you never get around to asking the questions, then FOR YOU, the answer is likely, “no.”
“Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few engage in it.” - Henry Ford (
Gratitude for Home and Family 2007-06-29 08:00:39 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
It’s easy to take it for granted. Our home is the center of our universe, but how often do you think of it as being that important?
The same thing goes for our family. For most of us, family is our primary support team . . . a hand-full of familiar souls in a world full of billions of strangers. Isn’t it ironic to see people treat their own family members with less kindness and respect they give to a perfect stranger? It’s easy to forget the importance of your own personal support team.
“If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love. Don’t be surly at home, then go out in the street and start grinning “Good morning” at total strangers.” - Maya Angelou (b. 1928)

How to Keep Your Word 2007-06-22 08:00:08 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
How to keep your word: In a word . . . impeccably.
Be impeccable about keeping your word.
The word impeccable comes from the Latin root word, pecatus which means sin. The prefix im means without, so impeccable means without sin. Impeccability can be thought of as an attribute of God. It would be unthinkable for God to sin since that would be against his own nature. Considering the idea that we are all made in God’s image, or deep inside each of us is a spark of God, to behave impeccably means to do nothing against our own nature.
“Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.” - Henry Brooks Adams (1838-1918)
Communication – A Rare Priviledge
Our word is our bond to one another. It is the way we interact and communicate. It is how we share our inner reality with others. It is the bridge between our subjective, inner world of being - and
Meaningful Spiritual Relationships – Namaste Matters 2007-06-15 08:00:34 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
What is a “spiritual” relationship? When I think of a spiritual relationship, I’m not thinking of someone who simply goes to the same church. I’m not thinking of someone who simply shares some of the same ideas. To me, a spiritual relationship exists between any two people who recognize and acknowledge that deep inside, we are the same.
Behind the faces, beyond the reach of social conditioning, deeper than individual egos, we are identical. We are presence, consciousness, pure knowingness - the awareness of “I am.”
We are life itself. The fact that we have the ability to recognize who we are as the singular “I am” makes us unique among all other life forms . . . as far as we know.
“I am not ashamed to confess that I am ignorant of what I do not know.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)

Belief Systems vs. Knowing 2007-06-08 08:00:42 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
There’s a lot of pressure to believe.
Social pressure makes a strong case to believe this way or that way or the other way.
Why is it so important to so many people that you believe exactly like they do?
“They were so strong in their beliefs that there came a time when it hardly mattered what exactly those beliefs were; they all fused into a single stubbornness.” - Louise Erdrich
Perhaps that particular trait of humanity is based on insecurity. Without a strong personal sense of knowing, some people need belief to fill the gap. For many, belief is a place-holder until personal knowing can take over. Some people never know and are content to forever believe instead. Others lean on blind faith, a kind of desperate hopefulness, to fill the empty space inside when knowing remains elusive.

Being Present Through Sensuality 2007-06-01 08:00:55 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
It’s easy to take our five senses for granted. We’ve been seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching since the day we were born. (Actually, since before the day we were born!) Everything we know about the physical world has been filtered through our senses and then reconstructed in our minds to provide us with a mental representation of living in the physical world.
The stimuli from our senses are ongoing and incessant. When we are awake, our brains receive signals generated by the senses at every moment. Even when we are asleep, our dream experiences include visions and sounds as well as occasional tastes, smells and touch sensations.
Sensuality

In the Eastern philosophies, the physical world, as experienced through the five senses, is maya – illusion. The true reality of life lies deep inside us all in the realm of being. Through the ages, monks, nuns and mystics have devoted the Read more:Present
Communication – Friend or Foe 2007-05-25 08:00:02 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
I was 21 and living in the bush of Alaska. Home was a rustic log cabin at Mile 50 on the Seward Highway, leased from the Forest Service for $40 per year. That winter, money was scarce, so I decided to go to town for a couple of months to remedy the situation.
I found a simple, little house for rent and made arrangements to meet the landlord. He asked the usual questions to determine whether or not I was good for the rent. I had no job, no prospects, and no apparent means of support. I had nothing to prove and nothing to lose, so I told him how it was with no embellishments. I had an old guitar and played him a song or two. I told him it was only a matter of time until I figured out how my music would provide a living. We shot the breeze for quite awhile until he finally told me I could rent the house.
Before he left the key with me, he looked right at me with a peculiar twinkle in his eye and said . . .

The Six Mistakes of Man 2007-05-18 08:00:53 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
In the early 90’s, while doing research for a book, I spent a couple of months reading every book of quotes I could find. I went to several used bookstores and bought every quote book they had. I ended up with about 30 or 40.
Before sitting down to read them, I decided I wanted the right music in the background. I figured if I was going to be spending my time with some of the best things anyone has ever said, it would be perfect if the sound track was a collection of some of the best music ever written. So I turned to the classics and bought collections of Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Debussy, and many more.
The combination of great quotes and great music made for an inspiring era. Some of my favorite quotes are sprinkled throughout these articles on this website.
“It’s a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.” - Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Reverence For Life Through Nature 2007-05-11 08:00:46 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
A few years ago, Janey and I were walking along a deserted beach on the Pacific side of Mexico. A lone figure approached us, and as we converged, we struck up an easy conversation. She felt like an old friend. It wasn’t long before we had made plans for a campfire beach dinner of local fish, rice and fruit. It was her birthday, so we offered to provide an impromptu concert after dinner to help celebrate.
It was a wonderful evening. We were accompanied by Chis, a marvelous harmonica player and percussionist from New Zealand, and Jake, an accomplished guitarist and didgeridoo player from the U.K. The music was magical.
As the evening progressed, we learned more about our fascinating birthday girl. She was a multi-faceted jewel shining bright with a rare depth and beauty, so we weren’t all that surprised to learn she’s a shaman from the Creek tribe of the Native North Americans. Her name is Spirit
The Subtle Side of Manifestation - part 4 of 4 2007-05-04 10:00:03 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
For the Good of the Whole
In order to work harmoniously with the Life Force, your dreams and goals must be good for the whole of life. Remember that it needs you as much as you need it. You need it to help you accomplish whatever you choose. It needs you for the experience of ever expanding life.
You are the channel between the visible and invisible side of nature. You are right between the visible realm of matter and the invisible Life Force, with one foot in each world.
Create your goals in such a way that they will benefit everyone and all of life when you materialize them. In this way, all of life is on your side, working with you.
Once again, the best way to help others is to be the most and best of yourself. Seek to be happy and content within yourself first. If you don’t, you have nothing of real value to offer anyone else. So make it a priority to maximize your potential, forever growing into the very Read more:Subtle

Allow Your Dreams to Come to You
Your dreams are on their way as long as you allow them. You allow them by your beliefs. Beliefs are simply the thoughts you are in the habit of thinking. Not all beliefs are “right” or based on facts. Look at history for a staggering collection of examples.
Beliefs Need Not Be Set in Stone
We believed the earth was flat. We believed the heavens circled around the earth. At one time, we even believed bathing was unhealthy and eating tomatoes would kill us.
If your belief system has you convinced that you are not worthy of reaching your dreams, or that financial independence could never happen to you, it’s time to re-examine your beliefs. These thoughts are merely habits. They are not based on fact.
But, if you insist upon focusing your attention on limiting thoughts that are a part of your belief system, these habits of thought will be truth in your experience. You can cha Read more:Subtle

Receiving Communications from the Life Force
Negative emotion is a clear indication that you are moving away from your dream rather than toward it. If you are doing a good job of focusing your attention on your dream, the law of attraction brings more and more thoughts that support your process of manifesting your dream. You’re on track, and it makes you feel good.
If you notice that you feel bad and you can’t figure out why, examine your predominate thoughts and feelings about your dream. You will probably find that you have slipped into the area of doubt and the Law of Attraction has added more and more thoughts that support your doubtful thinking. The negative emotion you feel is a gentle nudge from the Life Force alerting you to the fact that the Law of Attraction is working against you in that particular moment, and that your thoughts are pushing away your dream rather than attracting it.

Introduction
The information in this article will provide you with some necessary tools to become independent and wealthy, if that is what you choose. Some people are not interested in becoming wealthy and that’s fine. For some, a small, part-time income is enough. Others want freedom from the 9-to-5 grind and dream of an on-going income that will comfortably support their family. Others aim for the top and are determined to settle for nothing less than a fortune. Whatever your financial dreams are, this article was designed to help you make them come true. You may not be interested in building a fortune now, but in case you want to someday, you will know how.
There are two sides to any business. The obvious side includes your particular style of shuffling papers, or rearranging things in such a way that an income is created. The subtle side of your business covered in this article is not as obvio Read more:Subtle
Facing Fear Eye to Eye 2007-08-31 08:00:50 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
A few weeks ago, I posted an article here entitled, “Facing
Fear with Deliberate Awareness.” Yesterday, I had an experience that provided me with a little more insight into fear. So this follow-up article in not about the vague, unspecific fears we all must learn to eventually rise above, but the kind of fear that is specific, immediate, in your face, and potentially life threatening. Here’s what happened yesterday when I suddenly found myself looking at fear up-close and personal . . . eye to eye.
One of my favorite passions is fly-fishing. My grandfather taught me when I was very young, so I’ve been wading up and down mountain streams by myself since I can remember. So yesterday morning, I put on my leaky waders, grabbed my fly rod and creel, and walked upstream a half-mile or so. I had fished this stretch of the stream many times through the years and have never seen another person th
Methods As Temporary Tools Instead of Lifetime Crutches 2007-09-21 07:00:14 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
We are obsessed with our methods. We become attached to our particular way of doing things. Since it’s good for us, it must be good for everyone.
We forget that methods are tools to help us accomplish something we choose. If we want to understand something better, we find a method that makes it easier. If our desire is on-going personal development, we choose a method (or methods) that provide a structure for our growth.
Webster’s dictionary defines method as, “a systematic arrangement of things or ideas; a way of doing.” So the method we choose is a system that provides regularity for our process.
Methods

Make Assumptions Obsolete by Communicating 2007-09-14 08:00:19 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
We assume because we don’t know. We don’t know because we don’t ask.
We don’t ask because we act as if we already know. Or, we are insecure and don’t want to appear stupid.
So we make an assumption.
Then we forget it is merely something we made up because we don’t know the truth, and we behave as if it’s a fact.
If the other people in your life have a similar relationship with assumptions, drama abounds. Everyone acts as if their actions and reactions are based on reality when in fact, so many personal interactions are based on arbitrary fabrications, wishful thinking and fantasy.
We have a name for this problem-prone, sloppy thinking: assumptions.
Why do we do it? Mental laziness. With enough information, assumptions are unnecessary. When we know the real facts, we don’t have to make them up.
How do we learn the facts? Ask questions.

Goal Setting or Let Go and Let God 2007-09-07 08:00:06 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
These are two approaches people use to manifest their desires. Some set goals. Others surrender.
Some divide their objectives into micro-steps and assign specific dates to the expected completion of each step. Others presume the universe is conspiring to deliver to them their every desire without strain, in its own way and in its own time. They let go and let God.
Both approaches appear to produce results. So which is best?
What Do You Want . . . and Why?
No matter what the desire, if we strip it down to its bare bones, we’ll likely discover why we want it. We pursue our desires simply because we think the manifestation of them will bring us happiness. That’s what we really want. We want happiness. We want peace, contentment and joy.

Choose the Companionship of Positive People Who Inspire You 2007-09-28 07:00:48 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi.
Take an objective look at the people in your life. Identify the ten people with whom you spend the most time.
Do these people inspire you? Do they have qualities that you are drawn to and that you would like to emulate?
How does their energy feel to you? After spending time with them, do you feel recharged and positive, about the same, or drained and negative?
These are important questions, and if you’ve never paused to deliberately think about how the people in your life are affecting the quality of your life, right now is a good time to do it. Here’s an easy 5-step exercise to help put it in perspective:
1) Make a list of the ten people with whom you spend the most time.
2) Look at the first name on your list, establish their presence clearly in your imagination and pay close attention to how you feel. After spending time with this person, do you usually feel energized, drained or about the same?

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.

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
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.
