Just go

Posted on:

“You don’t have to go fast…you just have to go.” – T. Harv Eker To make progress, you must get started.  Life begins in a better way when you take the first step, when you begin the journey. Recognize that achieving excellence in your life is less about velocity and more about action. Action creates momentum.   Acceleration will show up as you move forward, but you first have to break the bonds of inertia, and fear, and hesitation.  And you break those bonds when you take the first step. So today, release your grip on the past, take the first step and just go. The post Just go appeared first on Healthy Mind Heart Body.

Belief

Posted on:

I use to think that belief was the first step to success. But now I know that the first step is to take the first step. You have to act even when you don’t believe. You need to have the courage to move forward in spite of your self-doubt and fears. When I started writing and speaking over ten years ago I had no confidence, no experience and no belief and yet I was willing to take the first step. Did I fail? You bet. Did I face ridicule and rejection? You bet. Did I want to give…

Disorder is not disfunction

“Embrace the glorious mess that you are.” – Elizabeth Gilbert You’re in some phase of personal home improvement  You’re fixing some area of your life that needs repair and renovation.  You’re tearing down what no longer works, and are deep in the process of redesign and remodeling.  You’re in an undertaking filled with dust and disorder, where it’s difficult to see the desired end state of your efforts.

On Suicidal Thoughts

Posted on:

Once you have your first suicidal thought, you’ve did it, you’ve won at life. Nothing scares you anymore. Death is just another friend, maybe the only one. You start going through life fearlessly, and thus confidently. You’re no longer afraid to take chances, because what’s the worst case? You die? You’ve already been there. It’s not that scary. The death of others no longer saddens you. Some may say this is a downside, but I think it’s an advantage.Also, suicidal thoughts usually occur when you hit the bottom, or when you think you did. You think that it can’t get worse than this, and if you survived, everything that

It is inevitable that in every relationship there are going to be differences, and everyone has days when their emotions can get the better of them. The problem is not that we have differences in our relationship, the problem lies in the way we handle those differences. When our ego gets in the way, we can easily say or do things that threaten the peace of our relationship and increase the level of relationship stress. Instead of putting the peace of your relationship on the line when there’s a problem, wouldn’t it be better to develop the life skills needed to resolve problems with consideration, awareness and respect? 20 Life skills …

The Inability to Ask for What You Want

Posted on:

A common core issue that people struggle with is the inability to ask for what they want. If you can't ask for what you want, generally speaking, you won't get it. Now, of course, I spend a lot of time helping people understand why they want what they want, but for this post, I'll assume you've done your work. You've drilled down past the outer defenses and socially trained responses to get the core of things. Maybe you've even touched the Truth (a spiritual opening or glimpse of awakening) or that Truth is now abiding within you (spiritual awakening).Regardless, this is a post for the more advanced practitioner.

How To Achieve A State Of Happiness

Posted on:

This is one subject that we all think about once in awhile. I have found that although difficult we can achieve a state of happiness so long as we direct our thinking to that state of mind. Sometimes I’ll watch these talk shows that are targeted towards helping people with concerns, like being overweight, being self critical, not knowing how to solve their problems, feelings of depression etc. and the one thing I find about these people with these problems is that they don’t seem to know that it’s their own thoughts, their own way of seeing themselves, their own ways of focusing on more negative thoughts than positive thoughts that make…
