10 hit songs blasting the music industry
Some big names like Billy Joel, Pink and The Kinks have had hits with anti-music-industry songs, ironically helping to line the pockets of industry executives. This is the story of ten hit songs that pop stars performed to bite the hand that feeds them. There is something sweetly ironic about listening to a hit song produced by the music industry about how evil and corrupt and useless the music industry is. Or to tune in to your fave radio station, only to hear a song blasting radio stations. And that is perhaps why we love such songs so much. Here are just a few of the music-industry and radio-station-bashing hits that you might enjoy. Spirit of the Radio by …
Permission not required
“Why wait for permission?” If you’re waiting for the go-ahead, the green light, the pat on the shoulder that tells you it’s okay to move forward, find a comfortable chair. You’ll be waiting for a long time. Seeking permission to move forward with your life is the act of abandoning personal accountability. It’s seeking a scapegoat – someone or some situation to blame – in case you fail. It’s heaping devastating indignity upon yourself and your capabilities to wait for permission to get on with your life. So get out there and get on with your life! The post Permission
7 Fundamental Truths about Personal Development
Before we can really lock into meaningful personal development and create the life we truly desire, there are a number of basic concepts that must be accepted. In personal development, as in any other field, there are fundamental truths that exist. If we want to experience optimal results, we need to understand and fully embrace those truths. While the existence of these personal development truths may be generally accepted on an intellectual level, more than acknowledgment is required. This seems to be one of the major differences between people who make things happen in life, and those who can’t figure out …

Spare a smile?
The wonderful thing about a smile is that you always have an extra to spare. Because as soon as you give it away…Presto! You have another one just waiting to be shared. One of the four categories of this blog is frugal. That’s all about saving money, living simply without the need for very expensive tastes. Being frugal with money is one thing. Being frugal with smiles is quite another. For most of us, money is a limited resource. Being frugal means allocating limited funds where they are most needed, rather than being frivolous with it. Tweet this quote: “Smiles are the ultimate renewable resource. Don’t be stingy with them….
The life you design
“There is no rulebook.” There is no magic formula, no self-help prescription or success potion made specifically for you. That’s your job – to discover guiding principles, lessons learned, warnings observed; and then, in synch with your passions and dreams, create your own roadmap. You can seek to understand enduring principles and time-proven disciplines that have enabled others to achieve wonderful success, but their path is only a guide. Think on paper. Create your plan, design your life, take the specific, deliberate actions that will lead you on your journey to mastery and excellence. Choose, and then design, your life at a higher level.

7 Vital Building Blocks of Confidence
When you see people who appear to be confident and sure of their every move, what goes through your mind? Do you know someone like that who seems to succeed at everything they do? Are you convinced that it’s because they are smarter, luckier or in some way better than you are? It’s very likely that none of those things are true. But confident …
The Great Master Teaches: Part 1
This spiritual allegory continues the story that I began some time ago. To catch up on this tale, you can read both "The Coming of the Great Master Part 1" and "The Coming of the Great Master Part 2." There's an interpretation of the allegory available if you are interested as well. Enjoy!After coming to the Village as prophesied, the Great Master quietly and humbly did her work in all the dark, polluted places of the Village, and no more dark and polluted were the hearts of the Believers who had spent so much time and effort to prepare for her.

Enlightening Documentary: The Calling by Max Igan
In March 2009 I was approached to create a combined and summarized version of “The Big Picture”, “Fight the NWO With Global Non Compliance” and “NWO The Final Solution.” The aim was to condense all 3 films into a one hour solution based production that would appeal to a wider audience and be suitable for … Related posts: Thought-Provoking Documentaries: Vox Populi, Methods of Manipulation Thought-Provoking Documentaries: Human Resources – Social Engineering in the 20th Century Thought-Provoking Documentaries: Thrive (2011) Thought-Provoking
Stop Whining and Start Winning
I wanted to say something but I couldn’t get a word in. My wife’s friend Rachel wouldn’t stop complaining. For twenty minutes she bombarded me with a series of complaints. She complained about her job. She complained about her company’s new policies. She complained about the economy. Most …
The secret of (synthetic) happiness according to science
Research shows that we have the capacity to synthesize happiness when we don’t get what we want. But is synthetic happiness as good as “real” happiness? Or is all happiness just a concoction? Let’s look at the science behind happiness and synthetic happiness. This is a very instructive TED talk by Harvard University psychologist …
What would you do?
“What would you do if you weren’t afraid?” What would you do if you weren’t afraid to fail? If you weren’t afraid to push yourself far beyond your comfort zone, to exceed the boundaries of your known limits and current capabilities? If you weren’t afraid to take bigger risks? What would you do if you weren’t afraid to massively succeed? The post What would you do? appeared first on Healthy Mind Heart Body.
Spirituality Webinar: Enhancing Your Discernment
Some time ago, I wrote a blog post called "The Difference Between Discernment and Judgment." Because this is such an important topic, I wanted to dedicate a webinar to these concepts help you better understand what discernment truly is and to help you improve your abilities to be discerning.The simplest way to describe discernment is that it's the closest we come to seeing life as it is within our human limitations. Judgment is how we use our preferences to cloud what we see, but so often people believe that their judgments are the …
Urban Stress- 10 Tips to Help You Cope
It doesn’t matter if we willingly chose to live in a big city or relocated because of work or a relationship, or even if we were born an urbanite and love it- living in a cosmopolitan area is undeniably exhausting at times and can cause ‘urban stress’.

Why become small?
“If you do not change, you can become extinct.” – Spencer Johnson, from Who Moved My Cheese If you’re not careful, you can become extinct in your own lifetime. If you’re not careful – if you’re not self-aware of yourself and your world – you will fall behind. You will lose the capacity to create high value, you will diminish your ability to be relevant to your world. You will become small. Why become small? Why not stay aware of where your world is going? Why not examine…
Self Confidence In the Face of Challenges
We live in challenging times, how’s your self confidence holding up? Let’s face it, maintaining your personal confidence when life is relatively normal can be challenging enough. But when we are confronted by unexpected challenges, it can be very difficult to avoid giving in to self-doubt and uncertainty. When we feel confident, it makes us more resourceful. Challenges seem less threatening and have much less impact on our sense of security. Take away our self confidence and we become unsteady in our ability to make decisions …
The Spaces in Between
The spaces in between moments are where we often find some of the greatest riches of life. Life is naturally spacious, and it's the space that helps to give meaning to definition. Consider if I wrote with no spaces between words, and consider also if there was no separation from the letters and each other. It would be an unintelligible…
Too Much Zen Could Kill You
During the past couple of years, I’ve been trying to live life more consciously. I thought a lot about the purpose of life. I became vegan so I’d remove the fog in my head and think more clearly. I studied people, their behavior. Minor stuff didn’t matter anymore compared to the stuff I used to think of. I studied religions, believes, philosophies.. I visited new places. I saw how other people live. I felt like I finally understood life. I saw life from a third person view. From God’s view. I saw life naked. And it wasn’t beautiful. I became too conscious. Naked life was black and white. Dirty. Meaningless. Nothing…
DIY healthcare
Once upon a time, healthcare was the mysterious domain of trained professionals. Today, we are taking healthcare into our own hands. This should not replace professional medical treatment, but rather enhance it. We are all interested in looking after our health and making sure we are up to date with the latest self-help medical care. But when does it all go too far? As an average Joe like me, you might be comfortable diagnosing yourself with the common cold or a migraine, and seeking relevant treatment, but how far can this be taken? Treating consistent problems For those of us with recurring conditions, like high blood …
Random Thoughts on 10/28/2013
Sometimes it seems I walk alone in this world, sometimes there is a feeling of singularity. Other times I feel as if I am part of a large complex machine, a small cog or gear in the massive machine works of life. Sometimes my words ring out loud only to be ignored or overlooked, other times they are whispered on the winds for many to hear. The ups and downs and round and rounds of life keeps it interesting. Never am i in the same place as I was before nor am i the same person I was just …
Think Like a Golfer
I found one of the keys to life on a golf course. Golf course, you might wonder? How could a game that makes grown men cry like babies and throw their clubs like toddlers hold the key to anything but frustration and pain? It’s simple really. The amazing thing about golf is that at the end of the day golfers don’t remember the multitude of horrible shots they made. All they remember is their one great…
