Wisdom Books: Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche
This astonishing series of aphorisms, put into the mouth of the Persian sage Zarathustra, or Zoroaster,contains the kernel of Nietzsche’s thought. ‘God is dead’, he tells us. Christianity is decadent, leading mankind into a slave morality concerned not with this life, but with the next. Nietzsche emphasises the Übermensch, or Superman, whose will to power … Related posts: Wisdom Books: The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims by Arthur Schopenhauer Wisdom Books: Human, All Too Human by Friedrich Nietzsche Wisdom Books: The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception by Max Heindel Wisdom Books: Wisdom of the Knowing Ones by Manly P.

Why not go big?
“Go after the things you want like your life depends on it.” Because it does. Because going after what you want – going after what you know you have to have – is the difference between living and existing. It’s why you get up an hour earlier than the rest of the world. It’s why you read, study, improve your skills, expand

It is one of the most common human emotions experienced by people at some point in their lives.

Between Disbelief and Belief
As you melt more into your awakened consciousness, the need for beliefs goes away. This seems counterintuitive to everything people have been taught from day one, but beliefs aren't that necessary for our survival. They are tools that are occasionally useful, but then you put them down. You sit on a bench, and you watch the birds swimming around at the lake in the park. You are not believing in the birds or the lake. You are witnessing them. You don't need to believe in lower back pain to naturally make an adjustment to how you are sitting. The experience of being in the moment requires no belief. You are already here.For people who…
Given Up On Giving Thanks? Don’t. Try These Gratitude Tips Instead
Gratitude has been a catch phrase of the last decade that you might be sick of hearing about, or feel is the domain of do-gooders and not for you.

What will you attract today?
“Whatever you move toward tends to move toward you.” We live in a universe fundamentally aligned with attraction. Forces attract each other. The energy of that attraction is indifferent to both the quality of its origination and its ultimate outcome. You choose the quality of the attraction you set in motion. You choose whether you move toward your highest good, or something substantially less. What will you attract today? The post What will
People Pleasing = Failing
I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure–which is: Try to please everybody. ~Herbert Bayard Swope There are essential insanities and inessential insanities. Essential insanities get us in trouble with others. … Continue reading →
Tend to your own grass
The Grass does always seem greener on the other side of the fence, the truth is that if it is greener on the other side of the fence is because you have not maintained your own yard. Instead of being a fence jumper, we should be taking care of the lawn we have been given. If we pull the weeds and all the crab grass along with fertilizing and watering our lawn it will become the greener of the grasses. Tend to your own grass, learn to make what you have been blessed with the lawn you always dreamed of. With anything …
Undo those thoughts
“I’ve tried everything in my power to make money but still can’t.” (adapted from Byron Katie) Sound familiar? Ask yourself a few questions: Is it true? Are you positive; absolutely certain it’s true? How’s your life going because you believe it’s true? Then ask yourself who would you be without that thought? The reality for most people is the flip side – they haven’t tried everything in their power. Their experience of lack is a daily fulfillment of their belief. And it …
How Can You Help Someone Who Is Considering Committing Suicide?

What’s non-negotiable today?
“Protect your priorities.” Forces are out there. They’re distracting you, tempting you to lose focus on your priorities, getting you sidetracked. Unless you commit to what’s non-negotiable for your day, unless you pay attention to what you do and how you execute, you risk winding up with vague results. You risk not getting what you want. You compromise your day. What’s non-negotiable for today? The post What’s non-negotiable today? appeared first on Healthy Mind Heart Body.

Assigning Your Pain to Another
I often talk about projecting our issues as well as our desires and love onto other people and situations. It's like we break ourselves into these little pieces and fling them on to everyone else. Then we go through this elaborate game of trying to recollect all these pieces back (well, at least the good ones).With the painful ones, we try to avoid the situations and people who seem to be the bringers of pain, and putting aside…

Whether you grew up with an animal pal, are an avid pet owner, or just enjoy playing with your friend’s dog or cat, for many of us there is a distinct and pure happiness associated with interacting with animals.

Educational Documentaries: Look For Me In The Whirlwind – The Marcus Garvey Story
Marcus Garvey is one of the most contradictory and enigmatic figures in American history, both visionary and manipulative, a brilliant orator and a pompous autocrat. He was a strong advocate of black self-help and unity among people of African descent, yet was willing to collaborate with the Ku Klux Klan. He inspired African Americans to … Related posts: Educational Documentaries: Malcolm X: Make It Plain Thought-Provoking Documentaries: Ayn Rand – A Sense of Life Pythagoras: The Father of
What you do, and why it matters
“Don’t compete with rivals – make them irrelevant.” – W. Chan Kim What you do is about you and how you make a mark on your world. Don’t keep looking in the rearview mirror, trying to see what everyone else is doing. You’ll lose focus, you’ll get distracted. Pay attention
Create Success by Creating Value for Others
When you look at people who are at the top of their field, you will discover that they all have one thing in common. It really doesn’t matter what field they are in, they all do one specific thing on a consistent basis. Can you guess what that is? They are all busy adding value to …
Why not dare?
“Lame, vague goals produce a lame, vague life.” People wind up where they are because of what they’ve done or what they’ve failed to do. Why do so many fail to create definite goals that would, if pursued, transport their lives beyond their wildest dreams? Is it because designing clear, compelling goals creates tension – the tension of then knowing the gap between where they are and where they could be? Is it the tension of knowing they…
Webinar: Melting Into Oneness

What is Avoidant Personality Disorder?
Have you ever met someone you enjoyed great conversations with and thought you’d connected with, only to have them vanish without warning from your life? Someone who seemed very present and available – and then suddenly they are gone, or acting like nothing serious happened between you. There, then not there. You might have assumed …
Keep kicking butt
“ ‘I tried’ is the poor man’s ‘I kicked butt.’ “ – Jen Sincero And that’s why they’re poor. Trying is not enough. Those who kick butt don’t try. They push themselves, and then push again, harder; they keep evolving. When they reach a new level of growth and start getting comfortable, they get uncomfortable and push again. You have a choice. You can push forward, continually, and keep reaching new levels of growth, of achievement, of excellence. Or you can make modest effort, hit a new level, and then stay …
