Psychologists performed an experiment where they put a pane of glass in the middle of an aquarium full of water. They then added two fish to the tank. One fish was the natural predator of the other. They put the predator on one side of the glass and the prey on the other. What happened next ...

The question is, what has awakened in you because of this crisis? Does hope beat in your chest when you think of your future? Do you feel the sweet promise of tomorrow pulsing in you? Does everything you've taken for granted come sharply to clarity? Do you see your value? Do you feel the relevancy of your life? You now have the opportunity to become reacquainted with what makes you feel, as the numb shroud of your harried life falls away. Can you feel your passion? Can you begin to trace its origin?

You are not a victim. The word itself is defined as “something or someone harmed by an act or circumstance.” The word is one of our least favorite words in the English language because it implies such helplessness. In the case of a violent crime victim, for example, the very idea puts our stomach in knots because it is innocent helplessness. For the purposes of our discussion, however, we mean to say that we must chose to never be a victim after the experience cards have been dealt.

About two weeks ago we came sailing to the British Virgin Islands, to relax, play, enjoy being together, brainstorm InspireMeToday.com, and to give me time to percolate some ideas I’ve had, including writing a new book.nnWell, you know me, and know that I believe a lot of things in life are metaphors for your life. After this sailing trip, I think life is a lot like bananas. Let me explain. On our first day here, the 28th of July, I provisioned the boat from Bobby’s, the

If you have found a great mentor (either a paid coaching relationship or a volunteer), consider yourself blessed. You have a unique opportunity to tap into that person’s wisdom , possibly develop a lifelong bond, and make a quantum leap in your life. People usually volunteer to mentor people because they want to give back and/ or they really believe in their mentees’ potential/vision. A paid mentoring relationship can be equally or even more beneficial because you generally have your mentor’s undivided attention during paid sessions.

We pray all day with our thoughts and feelings. We are continually praying whether we are conscious of this fact or not. Our thoughts along with our beliefs and emotions create our lives. There are others factors, like environment, the collective consciousness of your surroundings and your genealogy. Your thoughts (prayers) have brought you to where you are today. Your thoughts and feelings are vibrations (prayers) you send out and the universe gives to you what you send out.

Some Thoughts and Quotes on the word IMPOSSIBLE The next time someone tells you something is impossible, just Smile, nod your head and move on. In your mind you can thank them for the motivation to prove their statement wrong. After al who mare they and HOW do they know for certain that whatever in question is in fact “impossible”. The real fact is 99% of the time they are not qualified to make that statement. In fact every day on this earth people are proven wrong and things get done that were supposedly “impossible”. So again people can choose to think what they want to think.

We are moving to the Family Category today. (Yes, even posted a pic from a favorite family weekend of Aly’s here). We were tempted to jump into the Career or Financial Category, but we want to cover Family first because when you begin to shape your career brand, you will want to first be clear on all the other priorities that matter to you. That way, you will be projecting to customers what you do (and don’t) stand for. You’ll be projecting your “Why” above and beyond your products and services, and THAT is proven to sell more.

Your creativity is something you need and use in all aspects of your life but it does require a high energy level to produce the best results! The fact is the more creative you are the easier it is to solve problems and the more competitive you therefore tend to be as well! Having said all that is there a 'best' time of day when you can expect to be more creative allowing you to blast through problems or produce great new ideas? Let's explore 3 reasons why the early stages of

One day, I met this fellow at the running track. Just by watching the intensity and passion in his face and his jogging, I could tell that he was driven by a deeper force – something was really motivating and fuelling him. As he began to walk, I caught up to him. I introduced myself. I then ...

The times you failed are the challenges that keep making you smarter with time. Your wisdom astonishes us every day because it keeps us growing.

Life-balance is essential for ascending into higher levels of success in life. An unbalanced life, like an unbalanced building, leans toward collapse; the higher you go, the closer the fall. 2 Each individual's true life-balance is unique. For each needs a unique measure of time spent with loved ones, in solitude, working, playing, resting, engaged in routine, breaking from routine, being in a noisy environment, being in a quiet environment, being indoors, being outdoors, etc

Recently, I watched one of my favorite movies called “Under The Tuscan Sun” and as always, found myself immersed in emotion soup..laughter, tears, goosebumps and 'aha' moments . Diane Lane plays a newly divorced writer named Frances Mayes who goes to Italy on vacation, sent there by her pregnant Lesbian friend and her friend's partner. A series of cosmically coincidental meetings and celestial signs sprinkle throughout and Frances buys a crumbling villa in Tuscany.

On any given day, anywhere in the world, you’ll find them in the hands of robust men as sweat drips from their brow. It’s one of the tools most associated with the testosterone filled male, muscles bulging as they fire it up and the sawdust flies. It’s the circular saw, and the irony behind this manly instrument is that it was invented by a quiet little Shaker woman named Tabitha Babbitt.rnTabitha was a member of the Harvard Shaker community in Massachusetts, living a s

What exactly is a personal development plan? It is not some secret mysterious schedule; it is merely a guide for you to follow to get yourself from where you are right now, to where you want to be in the future. That means, basically, that your personal development plan is your roadmap.

Ten Popular Personal Development BooksWhat are the most popular personal development books? If you have been looking to expand your personal development library you might be at a loss for where to begin. There are probably thousands of personal enrichment titles for you to choose from, some are okay and others are great, but here are ten of the top personal development books of all time in no particular order. 1. Purpose Driven Life- Rick Warren

I make no bones about it! It's a fact. I want to be dramatically, deliriously, deliciously, Rich! Screw modesty. Modesty is for monks. Give me Money. Lots of it. I don't just want to be comfortable. If I wanted to be comfortable, I would go to bed with my duvet. I want to be rich! I know I'm ...

I am sure that you all have heard the old adage that if you want respect you have to earn it. That saying is so true but I want to add onto it from the things that I have learned during my life experiences. You have to earn it, give it, and demand it all at the same time. If you do these things you are guaranteed to get respect. Now you may not be liked very much at all but you will be respected. Don’t confuse the two. I would rather people hate me and respect me than like me and take me for a chump.

For many in the Western world, our day starts with the annoying sound of the alarm clock and we wake feeling like we’re already chasing the day. Our conscious mind jumps right into our “to do” list, and before our feet hit the floor, we’re already stressed. InspireMeToday.com was born because I believe in the power of daily inspiration, and because it seems we teach that which we most need to learn ourselves. It’s so easy to allow life and other things to become more important than what really matters, with the excuse that we don’t have the time.

We get it. You work from home, so you have a free pass to spend the day in your pajamas behind the computer while juggling loads of laundry and dishes, right? Wrong. Fair warning, we are about to be on our soapbox and hold you accountable for the way you operate your business. If that makes you uncomfortable…. read on, anyway because we’re calling you out and that means you need it. (Yes, English teacher, we are using the word YOU today.)

This is an article that I can write with some authority because I have been there and done that. I used to have a serious anger management problem. It was so serious that it encompassed all areas of my life and had serious negative effects on my friendships. This problem was not natural and not normal but as with all people who have an anger management problem I felt in every case that the anger was justified. I would get angry at perceived indiscretions of other people. Most of the time the indiscretions were real, some times they were imagined.

We have a critical message for you today. It will take you 60 seconds to read it. Don’t say there’s not enough time. For you or someone else (share it), this message will be life-changing. A few truths we’d like to remind you of: Asking to get paid when you’ve earned it is not “greedy”. Resting when your body needs it is not “lazy”. Making mistakes is not “dumb”. Being afraid is not “chicken”. Being proud of yourself is not “arrogant”. Sharing your natural gifts and talents doesn’t make you “self-centered”. Having money doesn’t make you “selfish”.

For for the past 10 days or so, I have been writing down any negative thoughts that I have, as soon as I become aware of them. I am surprised by how many seemingly insignificant, critical thoughts cross my mind each day. I have always considered myself to be a very positive person, and so I am ...

You also want to list the property in a way actually attracts potential tenants and, eventually, gets it rented. The following tips will help you do just that. 1: Talk to the

I’m not waiting for the circumstances to get better. I’m simply using them as stepping stones through rough water. See, the break in our blog posts lately have not been without reason. On the trail of Andrea’s journey with her prosthetic eye, this week has set off yet another series of jou eys. I’ve spent the last 14 months watching my best friend from high school bravely fight cancer, which has now spread from his kidney to his spine and this week, to his lungs. Our dad had surgery three days ago for prostate cancer.r

I am not a marathon runner; I'm not even an experienced runner. In fact, I'm a professional drummer, and I am a new runner. In the drumming world, I learned firsthand that I should try to stand on the shoulders of giants - the legends that paved the paths. Well, I found that to be the case in ...

Communication skills are vital to each and every one of us and I sincerely believe that the earlier we begin to master these skills in life the better off we will be. I believe that the adult should put all of his or her energies into developing the mind of the child beginning in infancy. Most of the child’s communication skills are the result of it’s temperament but there is much that we can do to help out in the formative years. These years are so important in a child’s life and are more often than not the difference between success and failure in the later years of its life.

Most people think they know what inspiration truly is, and they are right – as the source of inspiration is varied, the true definition may vary as well but here’s a brief version:nnInspiration is the stimulation of the mind or emotions to a high level of feeling or activity. Inspiration comes from the Latin, inspirare which means “To breathe, to blow into …the Spirit is within.” That definition has a spiritual context, regardless of your faith religion, but todayâ€

Busted. It doesn’t just happen. You have to take action and make choices to make your health a priority- especially when you’ve tied it to your legacy. This is personal growth 101. Oh YEAH, we forgot to mention: Aly is a former nationally certified personal trainer and has a degree with emphasis in physical therapy. She has trained hundreds of clients, including athletes and even an Egyptian princess! So listen up:

Jealousy is the result of our feelings when we have a personal problem with a possession, or a perceived possession, or position that another person has. The jealous man or woman may feel that he or she is more deserving of the possession and has more ownership rights.

"get with the program"? In one way or other, we all have heard that many times over the years - from a young age, through school and university, through the first few years in the workforce... But if you consider winners like Steve Jobs, who continues to shape our world, it is those that "design the program" that dictate the program. If you "get with the program" you are destined to be grease in the cogs of the post-industrial machine - little service bots answering to some

Decisiveness is more important than making good decisions many times. Most times people miss out when they make their decisions because they allow conditions to dictate their decisions. Yes we must pay careful attention to the conditions which will have an effect on our decisions but we need to remember that conditions will never be exactly what we need for them to be. We can end up waiting until the opportune time to make a decision has past.

We think coaches are great. We believe everyone should have them. In fact, even having been named “among the best coaches in the nation,” we still hire coaches ourselves. So it goes without saying that many of our clients are coaches, too. It sounds easy: Know what you know, share it with others to grow their lives and businesses, and you have a career, right? Not so fast. To have a profitable coaching practice, just being good at what you do is not sufficient.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to forgive someone. Other times the hardest thing to do is to forget. Many times the hardest thing is to do is to forgive yourself and forget. The funny thing is that forgiving and forgetting are both really important when it comes to trying to get on with your life after it has been marred by controversy or tragedy.

Tiffany Crosarar Angelic Happenings Diary Summer 2010 The hottest summer britain had seen in a good few years, in London people were fainting on the pavement, high above that I was teaching a class how to remove psychic cords from their aura, we were high and hot, psychic delusions/visions were running high. All of a sudde I saw a very large, dark and armoured like angel behind one of the participants, the name “Metatron” resounds round my head as if a call was rebounding all around. Metatron? That must be Archangel Metatron- not my bag- angels.
