Power and Lovern[Vinod Anand] All of us contain within ourselves two strong but distinctly different fundamental forces that are in tension: power and love. In working for social change, we need both. The problem is — whether we openly acknowledge it or not — each of us is tilted more towards one or the other, falling into either the power-camp or the love-camp. Our task then is to learn to work with each of them, rather than denying their hold onus.

People speculate a lot with the word trust and they do it on purpose. I would like to make a few clarifications about it... Many times trust is mixed with faith. But to have faith is one thing and to trust someone is something completely different. Faith is pointing outwards, it is created outside and is based on other people experiences and achievements. Trust is facing inwards, it is built within us and is based on the personal experience and achievements. Meaning of the words is irrelevant when we are not moving anywhere and we don’t want to know anything about ourselves.

People often make fun of me when I tell them about my #DWTS (Dancing with the Stars) twitter activities. And they wonder what Twitter has to do with growing my business. I am the first to admit that I am a #DWTS ‘addict’, LOL – however, social media has played a large part in the growth of my business and with relationships. I first connected on Twitter and learned about chat rooms about 5 years ago. I didn’t really take advantage of it at first.

While there is simply no substitute for eating healthy unprocessed whole foods, there is some need to complement your diet with some nutritional supplements. One of these is CoenzymeQ1O (COQ10) which has been available for decades. COQ10 limits free radical production, which affects the aging process. It also helps boost your body’s cellular energy production. Free radicals are oxygen atoms deficient in electrons that become highly reactive. This in turn causes potential damage to your tissues and DNA. So exactly is CoEnzymeQ10?

Growing up in Australia means growing up with sheep.nnWell, kind of.nnNot that we have them sleeping in our lounge room or running around our front yard or anything, but Australia, amongst other things, is a farming nation and at some stage, most Aussie kids (although less these days) have spent time at their uncle's farm (it's always an uncle) rounding up the sheep or cows on their school holidays.nnOr they grew up on a farm themselves.nnNow, I'm no sheep-ologist (my site, m

Chasing happiness has become an all too common practice in our modern world. If it is not the promotion we are chasing it is the boat or the car. Why is it that many of us are always in pursuit of those last few pieces of our lives that we believe will give us our ideal life? Why is it that the ideal life never comes? It is most likely because there always seems to be a few acquisitions in the way. At least this is how much of society travels through life. After all, this is

A quick nod of heads – how many of you are working Moms? How many of you feel overwhelmed, unsupported, misunderstood, exhausted and discouraged?

In North America, on the second Sunday of May, we celebrate Moms.

We all eat. But how mindful are we of every bite we take? nnYour mother always told you to slow down and taste your food. That’s great advice, especially when we find ourselves grabbing a quick snack on the run or eating a meal while driving. How we eat says as much about us as what we choose to eat. nnWe can learn a great deal by paying attention to our eating habits. Our appetites change depending on our moods. If we’re depressed, we may eat more than usual or we may lo

Many entrepreneurs go about their busy day, typically doing some of the exact same things that they were doing the day before- the week before – and even the year before. Most of us do not even operate on a conscious level. At one of my master mind meetings last year, we were given an exercise to do – create a ‘Tolerations’ List for your life and for your business. This exercise was a real eye-opener and so very powerful that I, in turn, shared it with my own local master mind group. The discussions we had about this list were astounding, to say the least.

It all has to match if you want to live a happy life! In my experience as a workshop facilitator, speaker and coach, over the past 25 years, this is the question that gets me the most blank stares from people! Geez, most of us don't even know what we want for supper tonight, let alone what we want for our lives! Are you just reactively going through life, from day to day, hour by hour, taking whatever comes your way? Is that good enough for you? What lessons are you teaching your children? Have you 'settled' because it's easy, safe and not as scary as living the life you really want?

Just the other night, I was watching one of my favorite TV shows, “Hawaii 5-0,” where one of the main characters featured in that night’s episode was a young woman, a veteran, who’d served in Afghanistan, during which time she’d lost both legs. The show was forthright in its brief portrayal of some of the tough challenges such vets can face: depression, falling into substance abuse to alleviate the physical and mental anguish, homelessness. But the clincher, for me, was to s

Many years ago a particular phrase came across my desk and caught my full attention. It was at first a bit confusing to me since the utterance seemed incongruent. The phrase was "Be Content Yet Never Satisfied!" Interestingly enough, as the years go by it becomes clearer to me that they are in fact truly different words with very different meanings. They are not as I first thought synonymous. The phrase provoked a lot of questions which left me wondering. Did I derive great

Can I tell you, frankly, how sick I am of the story that because we do what we love, we should always be jubilant, light hearted, blissed out, can't-wait-to-get-out-of-bed every-bloody-morning happy and content?

As different as we may all be from each other, we are all connected. There are an infinite number of ways in which we are all the same, but the most obvious of all is often the most overlooked. We all want to be happy. The fact that we are all trying to be happy in our lives is such an obvious statement that it almost seems pointless to bring up. But it is this very fact that causes all of our problems in life. On our quest to become happy we are all pursuing different paths.

Macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness and severe vision impairment for people over 55 worldwide. The central part of the retina in the back of the eye is known as the macula. The retina is where you process all visual images allowing us to read, and to see people and colors. Macular degeneration (MD) affects central vision and this gradually deteriorates causing functional blindness. Peripheral is initially not greatly affected; however macular degeneration widens over time to reduce peripheral vision.

Driving dow Pacific Coast Highway the other day, I was surprised to see that the large light-board sign plunked in the median strip near a major cross-street read, “Don’t text and drive.” For the past many years, that sign read, “Don’t drink and drive.” Apparently texting has replaced drinking as the primary cause of accidents on that roadway. Which brought to mind the many times I’ve found myself having to slow to a crawl when walking through the mall, or down a sidewalk, b

Do not always fix on the Destination; Enjoy the Potential Pleasures of the Journey itself [Vinod Anand] Do you think a desire to pass an examination in mathematics is necessary for motivating one to practice solving mathematics problems, or even for actually passing the examination? Not quite. A student, who likes mathematics, will solve the problems because he gets pleasure out of it. He enjoys each step that gradually leads to the solution of the problem. He will pass the examination too as a natural outcome of his effort, without specifically desiring that outcome.

Sometimes life seems so complex and chaotic that we really have no idea where to start to wrest back control over it. It may be necessary for you to take a personal time out. This time out may be with family and/or friends; like a vacation. However I believe that you really need to spend some time completely alone before you will be able to perceive your world with clarity. When’s the last time that you took time for yourself? When’s the last time you were all alone for an hour, a day, a weekend, or a month?r

“Discomfort is not a problem to be solved, not an enemy to be fought, not a monster to escape from; but instead an energetic relationship within, to be owned with courage and grace, and transformed through total acceptance, divine wisdom, and love.” Joe Hurley We all experience discomfort at one point or another in our lives.
