Jim Rohn – Personal Development
Personal Excellence with Advanced Life Skills
Have you noticed that we live in a culture that seems to prefer flash over substance? Sadly, this mentality has also crept into the field of personal growth and development.

The whole concept of Advanced Life Skills was created specifically to provide the means for a personal evolution that begins deep inside, on a core level. This is where true personal development starts. Your priorities really matter There are dozens of techniques aimed solely at attracting wealth and achieving your goals. I have no problem at all with such pursuits. In fact, I often cover those areas in my articles. What I do have a problem …

Are you ever mystified by the way men behave? In your own relationship experience, does your man’s behavior ever leave you feeling completely puzzled and perhaps more than a little frustrated?

Understanding Letting Go and Going With the Flow

But that is not the case.In the interests of clearing up some misconceptions about this aspect of the spiritual path, let’s talk about what letting go and going with the flow really are.Going With the Flow and God’s WillIn many respects, going with the flow …
Integrating Your Spiritual Awakening Through a Spiritual Sexual Practice
I’m sure that some of you of you are like, “Yeah! Let’s talk more sex.” But once again, I’m speaking primarily in your own, solo practice. Partnerships bring a lot of additional baggage and issues into the space as much as they bring a lot of beautiful opportunities for deep intimacy. Especially when someone is in awakening and is actively integrating it, it’s like being cut open on an operating table. A lot of care would have to be taken by a partner to not bring his/her issues into a very sacred and open space. With that said, it can be done, and you can share a lot of amazing experiences during this sacred time.But for most people, you may already feel a little …
Learn how to say NO and impress yourself
It happens very often to a lot of people. We are thinking about it, it is at the tip of our tongue, we know is justified, but we cannot say it! What I am talking about? That little word with just 2 letters but with so much meaning. You cannot say “NO” to your manager that asks you to do something that is not under your responsibilities, you cannot say NO to your child when they ask for something expensive, you cannot say NO for things you do not want to do…and the list can go on forever. Despite our disagreement and for the reasons we explain below, we cannot deny or set a limit to what we can and we …

One Year of Veganism: The Why? How? and WTF?
Almost one year ago, I decided to turn vegan. I was already vegetarian for six months. I had already posted an article on why I became vegetarian. But after much reading and experimenting, I figured that it wasn’t enough. P.S: This post is not about trying to convert you to veganism, but rather sharing my experience and shedding the light on some obscure misconceptions. Why? 1. Health Benefits After witnessing the huge health benefits of turning vegetarian, I was curious about what veganism has to offer. Also, the health benefits of vegetarianism mainly come from lowering animal-based protein and animal hormones. While veganism completely cut these out, thus providing much more benefits. Some dangers of animal protein (scientific facts)…

How We Handle Anger
An old Japanese tale goes, a belligerent samurai once challenged a Zen master to explain the concept of heaven and hell. But the monk replied with scorn, “you’re nothing but a lout…I can’t waste my time with the likes of you!” His very honor attacked, the samurai flew into a rage and pulling his sword from it’s scabbard, yelled, “I could kill you for your impertinence!” That, the monk calmly replied, is hell. Startled at seeing the truth in what the master pointed out about the fury that had him in it’s grip, the samurai calmed down, sheathed his sword, and bowed, thanking the monk for his insight. And that, said the monk…is heaven. Anger is a trap. When we allow ourselves to…
Mustering the Courage to Face Our Dark Side.
Carl Jung, the famous Swiss Psychiatrist, named our dark side ‘the shadow.’ He taught that when we do not recognize our shadow side, or are unwilling to look at it, it tends to become demonic. We need to realize that our fears are apart of that shadow side. And when we do not bring those fears to light, they do tend to take us over in ways that seem crazy or demonic. Fear is expressed in a thousand ways. Fear is closely related to apprehension, uneasiness, anxiety and out and out panic. Fear is behind rigidity, intolerance and fanaticism. Fear is at the root of indecisiveness and hesitancy to take action. Fear is behind much of our disorganization, disorderliness or sloppiness, or their…
The 9 Types of Intelligence: How to Become Smarter at Any Age
Before looking for ways to become smarter, we should probably take a moment and reflect on what “being smart” actually mean to us? We frequently use phrases as “book smart”, “life smart”, and “street smart”. Then there is “social intelligence”, “emotional intelligence”, and “IQ”. These are very different types of intelligence and it is up to YOU to decide which one you would prefer to have or develop. Because, let’s face it, you can be a computer genius but have zero people skills. Or you can drop out of college in your first year and then open a successful business and make twice the money than your friends with university degrees. Or maybe you may not think of yourself as a “highly…
