The Prosperity In Gratitude By : The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings! ~Henry Ward Beecher This is the time of year when we give thanks. It's the time when we look around our lives and feel grateful for all that we have. Our families, friends, and all of the love in our lives. We are grateful for the work that we do. We look to see the silver lining in all o... Your Song Is Your Success By : It's true - you have a "song" that you sing...all day long. That song, is your vibration, your resonance - and it is created right out of the feelings and beliefs that you are focused upon. Your song… is directly related to your success. Think about this -- if your song is your success, then would you choose to sing a song that you loved and radiated out into the world that you are worthy, abundant, successful, beautiful, confident.... Or - would you sing a song that yo... The Prosperity In Forgiveness By : I have found myself inspired to write on this topic on more than one occasion.... All of us, at some point in our lives have felt the desperate inner turmoil and confusion that comes from feeling that we have been "wronged" or betrayed in some way. You fight to understand what is wrong with a person to have done such a thing, or to be such a way. You wonder what may be wrong with you …. Have I deserved such treatment? Am I just completely naïve? I am too trusting. I have love... Increasing Your Energy By : Do you have enough energy to create the life you want? Energy is the critical, invisible force that creates your vitality and aliveness. Without it, you drag through life, tired, stressed, and drained.

Your Energy Account Think of your energy like a bank account. Your t...

Using Law Of Attraction To Break Bad Habits By : Enoch Tan We have been taught that to use the law of attraction to create the reality we desire, we must focus more on what we want and less on what we don't want. But yet there are times when the things we don't want continue to be created even though we try not to focus on them. The truth is that there are times when we must focus on what we don't want so that we can attract it out fully and see it for what it is... Gulp! & Get Off Your Butt This New Year By : Every year we face challenges, ones that require us to step outside our comfort zone and brave the unknown. We feel the fear in the pit of our stomachs, yet deep down we know it’s time to meet the challenges head on. Perhaps you’re stuck in a rut and you want to change something in your career: learn a new skill, change roles, go part-time or put yourself up for promotion. Or you’ve had a life-changing event thrust upon you—an illness, divorce or a real knock to your confiden... Ditch Your New Year’s Resolutions! By : The New Year is here and millions of us will be sitting down and writing out our New Year’s Resolutions. And, you know the drill, within two weeks they will be forgotten as we get caught up in the daily grind of life. Our fresh enthusiasm for the New Year will be gone and long forgotten. Don’t let this happen to you! Instead, why not ditch your New Year’s Resolutions altogether and focus on just one big goal (or Gulp!)? Maybe it’s time to switch careers, or travel the w...

Here are some practical, valuable tips. An Hour of Power By : Ruth Klein Imagine the power an hour can make in other facets of our life. If we just took one hour to eat healthier, exercise, learn new skills, meditate, or just to enjoy ourselves, the benefits would be enormous versus the cost of losing one more hour to inaction. Learning Kindeness From Anne Frank By : It’s difficult for me to imagine living in fear everyday the way Anne Frank did, and still find a way to be happy and display kindness and joy the way she did. Anne was a Jewish girl born in Germany who wrote a diary while in hiding with her family and four friends in Amsterdam during the German occupation of the Netherlands. After living for 2 years in hiding, she and her group were betrayed and the Germans removed them to concentration camps where Anne Frank died 7 months ... The True Meaning Of Nobility By : My oldest son and I watched a movie from his great collection “Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.” There is a great quote in the movie which I was eager to use this week where Kevin Costner playing Robin Hood says, “Nobility is not a birth-right; it is defined by one’s actions.” The term “Nobility” refers to people who were "known" or "notable" and the word was applied to the highest social classes in medieval times. One had to be born into families of the upper classes to be c... Are you afraid to make mistakes? By : Melisa Milonas Making mistakes are a big part of life, right? So why do you avoid making them? Usually mistakes are where you learn and grow the most. However, you spend most of your time avoiding them, hence, not allowing yourself to grow. Fear of failing and not wanting to make a mistake stop you from playing a big in life. Alternatives to great riches By : Mike Scantlebury You wanna be rich? But what is 'rich'? If it's so important then why is rich publisher Felix Dennis giving away ninety per cent of what he's got? Is there anything else in life? More important, is there something for you? What do you want? Join Mike Scantlebury in the discussion and think about making plans. The Power Of Belief By : The term baggage is definitely an overused pop psychology term in our culture. We use it to describe the excesses and useless junk we carry around with us from our worst childhood memories to when our romantic relationships went bad to all manner of past problems we can't seem to shake or get rid of. It's as if we've packed away tightly all of these sorrows and frustrations and grief and resentments into metaphorical suitcases which we continue to carry around with us and ... Which One Will Save Us? By : I'm fond of the Lao Tzu quote: 'An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.' Lao Tzu knew that small things could make big differences and that big things could be a bit - well shall we say - prone to sitting comfortably. According to his text in the, Tao Te Ching, humans have no special place within the Dao. They are just part of the many things in existence. But the problem with us humans is the fact we have desire, free-will and the capability to alter our n... Who’s In Charge Of What You Think ?

But most of us fail to avail the golden chances and opportunities, life presents us. The major reason behind this is we become victims of procrastination. Procrastination is a synonym for laziness. We get so lazy sometimes that we think that we have a long time to accomplish the task, knowing the task can take more time we assumed. Then we tend to do work in last moments and most of people fail to hold their patience and get tensed...

Think Outside The Box - Cultivate Your Inner Voice By : Andrew Cox Thinking outside the box comes in lots of different sizes - from the smallest to the really big, sweeping, high leverage things.

And that's where our inner voices play such a big role Imprisoned! By : Lessons From a Prison Visit "A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassi...

Top 7 New Years Resolutions By : If you're not sure what you should be putting on your New Years Resolutions list, here are the top 7 resolutions other people have used: 1. Spend More Time With Friends and Family It's easy to get so busy with work that you neglect your friends and family.

And make time to spend... Ten Ways To Live With Heart By : To Live With Heart means living with feeling. Everyone has feelings. When we are aware of how we feel, we are in touch with a basic part of ourselves. Living with heart means we live with all our feelings, accepting all, even the painful ones.

To manifest wealth, you must begin with living as though you are already wealthy... Storytelling: Pure Emotional Persuasion By : I'll admit it. I cry at movies sometimes. I'm comfortable with it and not ashamed in the least. Movies are stories and stories have been used to elicit emotions (either by design or accident) since the beginning of man. Some of the most fantastic stories are tremendously moving. This emotion can be manifested as a 'feel good' or a 'tear jerker', it can be uplifting or depressing, revolutionary, or merely entertaining.

Exercise your creative muscles by constantly practicing being creative. Layers Of Complexity In Life And Persuasion: I Am An Onion By : I love a good metaphor. An especially powerful metaphor for me lately has been that of an onion. The Cleveland Method deals with a deep understanding of our core drives and unconscious motivations.

The Mystery Behind Enthusiasm By : There has been so much written on the subject of enthusiasm that it could probably fit a volume of an encyclopedia. Every great man or woman that has spoken on the subject has recognized the magical power of enthusiasm.

Create The Think And Grow Rich Manifestation By : Riches are our target. When studying the ways to improve your earning and personal financial potential, the focus has to been confined, exclusively, to the instruction of how to transmute the definite purpose of desire for money into its monetary equivalent. This treatise is a Manifestation Manual for money, and while it is true, there is more to manifest than money, we unashamedly adopt as our study, our pursuit, and the education we give to worthy students coming up the ... Strength Of Intent Determines Attracting Power By : Enoch Tan In using the law of attraction to manifest our desire, it is the strength of intent that determines our attracting power. Some of us make the mistake of having weak intention when intending with detachment. When we detach, it means we let go of the outcome so that we do not freeze the process of manifestation but allow it to happen freely. But we are still strongly intent on a particular outcome to happen... It's not your fault. By : Melisa Milonas I have adapted an approach in my life where I take responsibility for whatever happens, that means any result that shows up in my life whether it is good or bad. I always look for where I can be responsible for the results produced. This approach has given me so much freedom and space to create in my life. What You See Is What You Get By : Michael A.

Geared towards single moms who has sole custody of their son and who refuse to allow the father to be a part of his son's life. Framing The Big Picture By : The most powerful concept in persuasion is framing. When we look at the overall, big picture we can see most everything we do and say as a frame. When I suggest examples based on religion and politics, I'm not (NOT!!) endorsing one side or another. I'm simply showing where our blind spots exist, where we have holes in our arguments. if you have a belief that you fervently or fanatically believe in, you might just be blind to the other side of the issue. When we talk about ... Learning To Fall And How To Get Up Again By : The greatest self help-book of all times “The Greatest Salesman in the World” was written by Og Mandino. He is probably the most famous for an anecdotal story he tells from one of his favorite books called “Acres of Diamonds” written by Russell Herman Conwell which is known by just about every great salesmen or trainer alive today.
