How is everyone doing?
When you least expect it…
“The best way to get approval is to not need it.” – Hugh MacLeod Affirmation, approval and applause are not the ingredients of excellence, nor the requirements for success. They are feedback, they are outcomes that may, or may not, motivate you. Motivate yourself. Become a fan of you. Become a fan of others too. Today, why not make someone’s day? Send some positive, enabling fan mail. Be ready to show appreciation without expecting anything in return. Who knows what will happen? The return route of good karma shows up when you least expect it. – We’ve been…
Do You Need to Aim Higher to Reach Your Goals?
Are you struggling to stay motivated on your journey to success? Have your goals lost some of the shine they had when you first set them? If so, you might consider whether those goals are big enough to hold your interest. You may have thought so at one time, but if your goals are not what you really want deep down inside, you’re probably trying to force yourself to settle for what you think you can get rather than what you really want. Believe it or not, there may be a very simple, yet counterintuitive, solution to this problem! Here it is… Aim Higher to reach your goals! Start thinking about goals that are so big and impressive that it scares …

The New Self Care – Can It Protect Your Psychological Health?
Once seen as just about taking care of your physical health, such as eating well and exercising, self care is now viewed in a much more holistic manner. Not only is there your physical health to take care of, but also your mental health, emotional health, and spiritual health. Really, you can practise self care …
Wisdom Books: Real-Time Relationships – The Logic of Love by Stefan Molyneux
The first commandment of Socrates was: “Know Thyself.” Real-Time Relationships by Stefan Molyneux, host of Freedomain Radio, provides the second commandment: “Speak Thy Truth.” The first virtue is always honesty, but speaking immediate emotional experiences in intimate relationships can be enormously challenging. Real-Time Relationships addresses the
What’s your quest?
“Climb your own Everest.” Create a quest. Your own personal quest. Become your own hero. Most people don’t. They get busy with the inconsequential, day to day mundanities of life, and fail to notice the summit in view. They fail to take on the challenge of the climb and forfeit the experience of the breathtaking vista that was there to behold. What is your quest? It can be any goal that in its pursuit leads you to reach your higher self – to discover the hero in you. When you eventually leave this world, go out with the knowledge that you managed to play your best game. – We’ve been working on a new website!

Finding Alignment With Life
One of our newest and most popular spiritual terms is "alignment." People are trying to find alignment with life, with relationships, with jobs, and other things. It sounds like a pretty difficult thing to do if you listen to some of the ways people are talking about it. But alignment isn't a difficult thing. Finding alignment with any moment is a process that isn't a process. It's a letting go of ideas and beliefs about how some thing should be …
Deciding to Move On…Or Not
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. ~ Helen Keller Who doesn’t “get over” it? There … Continue reading →
10 Excuses That Hide Emotionally Abusive Relationships
Emotional abuse (also called psychological abuse or mental abuse) is any form of non-physical abuse designed to cause damage to another person’s mindset and erode their sense of wellbeing. It most often involves someone imposing their power over you in a way that attacks your sense of confidence and makes you depend on them, whether …
Build the blueprint
“We do not get better without structure.” – Marshall Goldsmith When you create structure, you get focused. The roadmaps, the blueprints, the habits and routines you design keep you on course. They purposefully limit your options, they enable you to more precisely target and pursue what you want. Chefs follow recipes. Physicians follow protocols. Builders follow blueprints. You too, must create your roadmap, your design, your series of repeatable processes that lead you toward your goals. Goals alone won’t get you there. Get structure and get better. – We’ve been working on a new website! Whenever we read these posts, we’re inspired to…
The art of persistence
“The first draft of anything is sh*t.” – Ernest Hemingway You finally get bold enough to attempt. You finally do it. Yet the result is underwhelming. Get over it. The path to excellence, the path to remarkable, the path to singular achievement is littered with the debris of initial starts that were merely average, insufficient, failing to align with the dream. And that’s why persistence matters. That’s why Hemingway, in a 1958 interview with the Paris Review, shared that he rewrote the ending to his wartime masterpiece “A Farewell to Arms” 39 times before he got it right. Research of his papers after his death showed the number was…
How to Listen to Yourself – Do You Know What You REALLY Think and Feel?
You spend years of your life thinking you are on track, and on paper it all seems a success. And then one day you stop and realise that you actually aren’t happy. What went wrong? There’s a good chance that you never learnt how to listen to yourself, but have mistaken the chatter in your head …

Take a break!
We work long hours and rarely take enough breaks for our own well-being or for our productivity. Let’s explore the types of breaks we should be taking. For a “leisure society” who has it all (let’s face it, we are spoiled in so many ways), we sure seem to be a bunch of workaholics. I won’t delve into the psychology of this contradiction. But I will make a plea for taking breaks. Take…
Ask the questions
“Life isn’t about finding the answers. It’s about asking the questions.” – Brian Grazer Curiosity pulls you into life at a deeper level. Into the unfolding details – too often obscured – of your own life. Into the unseen, unknown details of others. Into the unfolding wonders of the universe. Ask the questions. Get interested, and in the process become more interesting. Ask the questions, and in…

Lost in Spiritual Bliss: Reclaiming Your Self From the Trap of Good Feelings
The big bang hits–or perhaps an understated shift that ripples profoundly, and you wake up. Life is no longer the same. One moment it was this way. The next moment everything was different, and for some of you, that opening of realization and clarity brings enormous spiritual bliss.Now, I'm not talking about a good-feeling, spiritual high that lasts a few hours or maybe days if that. I'm talking about the bliss state that can last weeks or months or even years. Yes, it can feel so good that you never want to come back…
Food and Mood – Is Your Diet Making You Depressed?
A piece of chocolate can give you a burst of energy that has you feeling more positive, and anyone who has experienced indigestion knows that food can alternately be the cause of much misery. But does food actually have the power to affect our moods long-term? And could it be part of a treatment plan …
A life without BS
“What comes out of your mouth comes into your life.” – Jen Sincero Think. Think before you speak. Think about your inner dialogue too. Too often we rush ahead and just say something, anything – to be heard, to fill space and time. Too often we thoughtlessly vent anger and frustration. Too often our dialogue is carelessly improvised in the wrong spirit. Once the words are released they can’t be rewound or erased. They stick around for a while, maybe forever. When you talk BS, you get BS back. Choose to live without the BS. – We’ve been …

Webinar Recording: The 3rd Annual All About Energy Talk
Every year, I like to hold a webinar to talk about the wide-ranging experiences people have with energy and the different sensations people often feel. This year marked the third time I’ve done so, if you can believe.To be sure, the number of ways we can experience energy is infinite. But for many who awaken, they often have no idea why they are sensing what they are sensing nor how to interpret it. For many people who have always been sensitive, they haven’t gotten…
Vanity of Life
Life has no meaning, no purpose. That’s why we tend to create meaningless goals to achieve. Like a body weight, a new level in a game, a degree in university, a successful relationship… They’re all fake goals we assign to live, to make it more meaningful. Unfortunately, a person with an above average level of consciousness acknowledges the vanity of all goals and all purposes, giving life a totally different meaning.Vanity.Free eBook
Know your mark
“The number one reason people don’t get what they want is because they don’t know what they want.” – T. Harv Eker Vague desires yield vague results. Think before you move. Know what you want. Practice your next step. Move with clarity of purpose. Move with precision. Move with deliberate intent. You have to know your mark in order to hit it. – We’ve been working on a new website!
