Rushing from one activity to the next, ten more to do’s on the list than you can get to today, needing to be in two places at once - where’s the time for you? Does this reflect your life at all? Over busy, overwhelmed and way over stressed have become the norm these days. What kind of ripple ...

I'd like to share with you the seven principles of Huna because they beautifully and simply describe who you are and what is possible for you. These are some of the most ancient teachings on the planet, but as you read, see how modern physics is validating these principles and how the Law of Attraction is very ancient, indeed. Ike:The world is what you think it is... BE AWARE.r

Take a moment and look at your personal, professional and spiritual life; what are your thoughts? Are they positive, negative, neutral, indecisive, anxious, confused, doubtful, hopeful, worried, excited, etc.? There is no better time then right now to start doing regular "thought checks".

With pain and suffering in the world, it can sometimes be difficult to believe that our world is still a beautiful place with beautiful people. When tragedy strikes – look for the helpers to lean on. There has and continues to be catastrophic events in life. Whether they are brought about by the powerful elements of nature, death, or inflicted by others, the impact directly or indirectly is felt by many. Fred Rogers said, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”

I was recently interviewed and asked for my definition of success; well, for me, true success means that you are living your life on purpose. You have reason, cause, motive and direction. Once you find your purpose and your destiny, you’ll feel such a sense of alignment and inner peace, because you’re doing what you are supposed to be doing. Perhaps you’ve discovered that working for a company isn’t your thing. You made a decision to form your own business because you don’t enjoy working for somebody else or for a big company.

Progression means the act of moving forward. It doesn’t state how fast or slow you might be progressing, or how big or small the steps might be, or where you started from or will end up. No, what’s important is you don’t give up. Life has this wonderful way of surprising us with the unexpected; it’s what we do with it that really counts. It tests our commitment, our hopes, our faith, our strength, our courage, our resilience, our beliefs, as well as our faith in ourselves, and what we believe or don’t believe in.

“Every time someone chooses compassion over indifference, good has triumphed and the world is different.” – Anonymous This article was written in honor of a dog named Mauro. I think his story is just one of many countless others about the suffering of innocent living beings caused by the cruelty and carelessness of man. But at the same time, it is also a story of kindness and compassion – of people that care for and treat the unwanted with respect and dignity, people that va

On my first day in Venice, Italy, a half hour walk to a specific destination took my cousin and me over two hours even though we had two different maps. Street and river names are written on the corner of buildings but many buildings have no names. I soon realized that Venice was going to demand my full attention and teach me some valuable lessons.

There is a direct connection between wealth, defined in The One Penny Millionaire!™ as "an increase in anything that is important to you" and "honesty." This connection, when practiced, will serve to increase your wealth. But honesty about what? How about everything! Being honest about where you are, emotionally, physically, and financially, will build a solid platform which you can then launch your new ventures off from, regardless of what those ventures may be: a new relationship, new investments, new family life, new career, new cash flow, it does not matter.

The words we choose to describe ourselves, others, and situations give us hints about what’s working and/or not working in our lives. Or, what’s in harmony and alignment, or in disharmony and out of sync. Some are subtle like a whisper in a gentle wind and others are booming loudly like a wrecking ball on a construction site. The question is, "Are You Tuned In or Tuned Out? It’s like a foreign language, so to speak.

TB Wright It is always useful when making distinctions, to first go to the dictionary, because the definitions of words reveal the amount of energy our race consciousness has put into the intention, or sheer force behind them. Usually the first definition is what most of our efforts have been devoted to maintaining.

“It is really the individual’s task to differentiate himself from others and stand on his own feet. All collective identities, such as membership in organisations, support of “-isms”, and so on, interfere with the fulfillment of this task… It is wrong to regard this intermediary step as a trap; on the contrary, for a long time to come it will represent the only possible form of existence for the individual, who nowadays seem more than ever threatened by anonymity.

Finding Courage in Surrendering Please allow me to start this post by saying that I am looking forward to the day that we as individuals can begin to accept, as well as seek to understand, all of what people say to us. It is quite common that we are quick to align with and apt to indulge in someone’s high regard of us yet when their opinion is of a more critical nature we tend to construct conscious “barriers of acceptance” as if we are being offered no true value in their criticism. Understandable.

It's a new dawn, a new day, a clean slate so to speak. You CAN start your day in a positive way! Whatever happened yesterday is in the past. A brand new day that holds promise, new possibilities, and new insights on ways to do or think about things is unfolding before you. A new day offers an opportunity to readjust your attitude and embrace a new beginning. Yesterday is over but today starts anew and is waiting just for you. Before going to bed, or when you wake up, take out a piece of paper and on the top of the page write the words, "Today I will..."

"Lay your story down." ~ H. Janice Mark Janice, my business associate and muse, and I have discussed "story" many times. Most of us were well trained to focus on our stories... the details, frustrations, anxieties, and stress of daily life. Remember, what you focus on is what you create in ...

Just about anything can create a feeling of disappointment if you allow it too. It could be something as simple as the weather putting a damper on events or vacations, or perhaps something more serious as in job layoffs and cut backs, or not receiving the job applied for, or a relationship that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, or an illness, etc. The problem is not the disappointment; it’s in how much attention and meaning you give to it. Have you ever gone outside on a windy day and tried to stop it from blowing?

When you reflect on your life these days, does it flow with ease, or do you feel like you're going against the current? When you're in the flow of life you're connected to your natural rhythm and you move at a pace that's just right for you. The timing of things works out perfectly and you ...

There is a success we can attain that goes far beyond simple material success. This deep of success is attained only through the giving up our attachment to being "right" about all the illusions we have surrounding what it means to be successful. In the online seminar I do with participants, we work a lot on processes that assist us in giving up the energy wasting practice of attachment. Attachment to illusions usually!

Deeply buried under the limiting patterns of your life is a gift. As you send spinning gratitude to the limiting patterns, the fear or anger and things you don’t want, a gift is revealed. The catch is to go deep enough. The layers of toxins and old patterns created a shell of perceived ...

When is the last time you heard someone say something like, "You know how it is..." and you nodded in agreement? Please stop doing this. To get a good understand of how agreement can hurt us, read the first chapter of The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, about "domestication" of the planet. Here's an excerpt: "As children, we didn't have the opportunity to choose our beliefs, but we agreed with the information passed to us...by other human beings. The only way to store

Have you ever heard or used the saying ‘making a mountain out of a molehill’? In what context is it usually applied? More often than not it’s applied when someone is attempting to make something that’s seemingly small into something quite major, and it’s often a problem or an issue. Then there’s the saying ‘from little things, big things grow’. Yet, when this saying is uttered it’s often in relation to the development of an idea or a project, and there is a more positive tone to its usage.

Allahbad is erstwhile known as Prayag and it is one of the fastest developing city in North India. It is one of the holy place that is visited by many people in India. As per Hindu Mythology, Lord Brahama selected this place for 'Prakrishta Yajna'. The city swashes some of the most renowned parks and museums in India apart from regular attractions. Some of the favorite tourist spots in Allahabad are: Sangam: Allahabad is substitutable to Sangam or Prayag (place of sacrifice).

Do you love to shop but tend to get home with shopping bags brimming with things that you purchased on impulse? When you try them on at home and look in the mirror do you wonder what on earth you were thinking? Or maybe you fall into the “hate to shop” category. You just wish someone would simplify your closet and your life by telling you what to buy, so you look great all the time.

(This was written in 2002. Sarah is now a happy, healthy 11 year old.) I received a very important lesson from my five year old daughter Sarah this morning. In a moment of good humor and affectio I decided to smother Sarah with kisses and love. So I called her from upstairs in a stern ...

Getting breast cancer many years ago was devastating for me for many reasons. The most disturbing reason: Conventional doctors could not tell me what caused the disease, except for my taking hormones for 10 years. Being a take charge kind of person, I refused to feel like a victim to cancer. I did my research outside the conventional medical community in order to understand cancer and then made treatment choices based on what felt right for me at that time.

There seem to be a certain number of hard wired skills we have, and one of them is our attention. Our attention isn't what we focus upon, but rather, our ability to stay focused on something. And then to add a further distinction, the most valuable way to pay attention is when we are focused on something, for instance, a solution to a problem we are having, and we do so without judgment, fear, worry, or complaint. That's when we are the most successful in coming up with ideas that actually work to have us have what we want. Usually a way out of some mess!

Isn’t it amazing how powerful our minds are – when we tell ourselves we want do one thing, but end up doing the opposite – all because our mind refused to cooperate with us. Have you ever considered that you mind may have its own agenda? One thing is for sure, it wants to keep you alive and it wants to try and create the happiness that you, the soul, is trying to experience.r

We all have a physical body, emotional body and mental body and they all influence each other. I’m sure you’ve had the experience where alot of mental stress (mental) makes your irritable (emotional) and exhausted (physical), or when eating too much sugar (physical) and made you feel agitated (emotional) and not thinking straight (mental). There are many examples you can think of where it’s clear that one body is affecting the others.

Each of us is born with a unique set of natural skills. The challenge we all face is recognizing and developing those skills to their fullest potentials – thus, creating our Talent Advantage. An unused talent is just potential, nothing more. A talent that is recognized and applied is a true TALENT – something at which you excel, receive recognition from others and is satisfying to do. It’s your Talent Advantage. Have You Found Your Talent Advantage? "To be yourself in a

I'm sure you've had those days, weeks, months, or even years where things seem to be going wrong. You might start to believe that they aren't going to get any better or may never change, right? Wrong.

Coaching for Acting vs for Life is most often the same. Here are a few thoughts that work for both: - Think in terms of what is “core” and what is “essential.” It works in Life as well as for Acting. - When ego’s out of the way, you don’t have to show or prove anything. Again, great for Acting and Living. - How much do you want it? “Quantify” for Acting and for your Life. - The difference with working on Acting or your life: It’s easier to look at the scene than what you’

Laughter can melt stress away like ice cream on a warm summer day. Victor Borge, known as "The Clown Prince of Denmark" was a extraordinary comedian, conductor and pianist. He said, "If I have caused just one person to wipe away a tear of laughter, that’s my reward". If you haven’t had a chance to see any of his performances, he’s hilarious, and has definitely brought more than one tear to my eye.

Many of us, without realizing it, are manifesting our own failures. We have this intention of pursuing our dreams, but then we also instantly think of a back up plan in case it doesn’t work out. The instant you come up with a back up plan, the instant you fall back to your back up plan, you are manifesting your own failure. You are already thinking, believing, and behaving as if your dreams won’t work out, or aren’t worth the trouble of pursuing.

There is a distinction between blaming ourselves for the conditions of our lives, and instead, being responsible for everything in our lives, that when made, makes all the difference in the world. A difference that shows up in our lives as how we feel about just about everything. The sticky part of this distinction, the part that keeps most people stuck not making it, is that in our thinking, blame and responsibility customarily refer to the same circumstance.

Why Travel to Thailand to Practice Yoga Blending travel and yoga is a potent recipe for total mind and body renewal. Yoga in itself is a powerful total mind/body renewal tool, but the added benefit of traveling and leaving behind all of the headache and stresses of daily life helps us fully reset, unwind and rejuvenate so we can come back feeling refreshed and re-inspired. Nick named “The Land of Smiles” It’s hard to look past the Beautiful country of Thailand for yoga retr

You have your day all planned out. You get up, you choose what you are going to wear, what you are going to have for breakfast, what time you have to leave if you are going somewhere, what route you will take, you have your E.T.A., you know what is intended for your day and you are off and away. Then... maybe before you even leave the house things change and with that, your customary way of being shifts as well, just like that.

Death is a part of living, but when it hits close to home, it leaves us feeling vulnerable, sad, angry, afraid and/or guilty. During the past month, three people I know died: 1) a middle aged woman who struggled with cancer for many years; 2) a 25 year old young man who made poor choices in his life; and 3) an 80-year old man whose dead body was not discovered for five days. Each of these deaths taught me something about living.

We all like the idea of changing the appearance of our home. However, the limitations often come from the economic. With these ideas, you can skip that pitfall Many times, the problem with remodeling our house does not happen because of the lack of ideas or the will to face this hard work.

Do you get confused when changes happen in your body? Within each level of consciousness exists different worldviews, different ways of living and perceiving reality. Shifting from one frequency to another requires a shift in thinking patterns and a subsequent shift in the quality of your life ...

It’s important to make time for joy, because you are JOY! When you do things that express who you truly are, it reflects in everything you do. When it’s all work and no play, there doesn’t seem to be much time for fun, laughter, friends, family, but mostly, you! Even if you’re passionate about your work, or home life, it can become the focus instead of an extension of who you truly are. Ask yourself these questions: * How do you express your joyous self?

Somehow, the idea of randomness and freedom got mingled with creativity and artistry. Conversely, somehow, planning has become enemy of creativity. In truth, one has very little to do with the other. Large-scale art project, for example, take a lot of planning, and a lot of resources. Most of us also are more creative at certain times of the day than others; sometime even certain times of the week or month. For some professions, like photography, timing and planning is essential.

Just like the Universe and angels use numbers, animals and music to get our attention, they also use the spiritual language of color to send us subtle yet powerful messages.

If you went out to buy a television set, and didn’t really know what the best one was, oh, you had a general idea, but no clear picture, what would you end up buying? You would most likely end up buying something based on what others believed a good TV set should be. Might work for you then, might not. It might even be a great TV set, but the purchase might also not be very satisfying, because others don't know you as well as you do, what you like, what you don't like. Sound like a lot of speculation and guessing? It is, and that's exactly how most of us approach our success.

This article will be short and sweet. Making distinctions, such as "hot/cold" is as important in self-help work, as it is when choosing what coat to wear today. In making any distinction, we have to define our separate terms, and then see where our beliefs overlapped them, until we got to the point where we confused the two.

Give yourself permission to live a life – Most people around the world have sacrificed their passion or creativity in order to fulfil their responsibilities. So often in our lives we lose touch with our inner selves, with how we feel and what we truly desire in our lives. Then we start asking ourselves questions like: How will it be when I get to the end of my life? How do I feel about the life I lived? The feeling of anxiety that will come next is just normal. Then we will

“Kindness is like snow—it beautifies everything it covers.” – Kahil Gibran After a year filled with political incivility, I feel as though my body and soul need a reminder that human beings are also compassionate and kind. While the media aggrandizes and normalizes aggressive behavior, it is easy for compassion and cooperation to go underground or be viewed as weak. During 2017, I encourage you to allow compassion and kindness to lead the way.
