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.

Bookmark printing is one important tool for the promotion of a brand's merchandise especially during the holiday season. Avid book readers and other customers like bookmarks which help the company in creating a strong customer base as they are giving something valuable to them. The design of the bookmark needs more attention from the experts. A bookmark needs to be useful as well as remotely hilarious to attract the audience's attention. Most of the bookmarks are split into t

Harnessing the Universal Law of Attraction can be a challenge. When it works, it feels miraculous; and when it does not, it raises doubts and leaves us feeling frustrated. I believe there is a higher element to this “attractor factor.” I call it Flow: Once you set the intention, a power greater than yourself brings you what you want quickly and effortlessly. Obstacles seem to disappear in this alignment!

Lilly and her boyfriend work together. It's really his business, and she's his marketing manager. One of the ways they are able to maintain a healthy relationship and run a successful business is because they establish clear boundaries.

Oranges, and lions, and bakwas! "Oh my!" as George Tikei would say. It's Chinese Lunar New Year! Yes, it's that time of year when every member of the Chinese family has to get up and clean house. What? You don't know about this tradition? Yes, along with the loud fireworks, red envelops filled with money, and enough food to feed a Chinese army, during Chinese Lunar New Year, every member of the household is also suppose to help in cleaning the home. Technically, considering all the "tiger moms" out there, this probably actually happens everyday.

So I'm at the gym last Saturday doing a set of upper body exercises. It was a good session. In fact I felt like I was "maxing out" some of the exercises with the amount of weight I was using, particularly biceps and shoulders. I figured it was time to add on some more weight. I certainly could ...

Thinking that there's some magic formula out there, that if only you would find it out, then all of your success, money, love, and on and on, will finally arrive into your life. Then, like a flood gate bursting, this magic portal will be opened, and soul mates, friends, popularity, and fame and fortune will be yours. Hey, that's great! Show me that door. It's the old "If only I'd been taller" game we play with our minds. If only I'd been taller, then I would have gotten that good job!

Trillions in bailout money will be given to big banks over the next several years; these are the very institutions responsible for causing this economic mess to begin with. Meanwhile, the "little guy" everywhere finds himself in a daily struggle just to survive. Where's the bailout for the ...

Instant gratification has a bad rap! For a choc-oholic it's gobbling down the chocolate for that few minutes of bliss even though if you eat enough of it your body doesn't feel the best and you'll outgrow your clothes. For a spend-oholic it's buying that bright sparkly thing you just have to have, and dealing with the credit card payment later....or not!nnBut for the clutter-oholic there's a way to turn your addiction into instant gratification and the kind you don't pay for

There is no doubt that stressful events can really send one spiraling down into that emotional abyss and self doubt until one finds his/her way back up or through. It’s not always easy, but it is possible. Stress places strain on your physical and emotional well-being which is why it’s important to take care of yourself while you are traveling the rough road ahead until you find yourself cruising the happy trails once again.

You can change the world. A few of you believe me. A few more want to believe me, but really don't. Many don't really believe it at all and most think it's just plain craziness. Someone asked me recently if I would change the name of my book, "the 100th human."(www.the100thhuman.com) The answer was and still is, absolutely not. That name represents my unfaltering belief that you and I can change the world. People have always needed reminding of how much influence they really have.

For many people, knowing what they need to do to feel healthier and happier in their life is often a lot easier than actually following through with it. I am sure you have experienced times in your life, or perhaps even currently, where you set a goal, made a resolution, devised a plan of action for your desires for yourself personally and/or professionally, and then before you know it, you are back to just thinking about it or it becomes a passing thought.

"Dad, do you know the story about Lucky the Dog?" "Yes, Jill. I do." "No, not that one. The other one." My two girls had just come back from several days with my parents and had been regaled with stories from the past. So naturally they wanted to share them with me. I'd grown up with ...

Often people are afraid to ask for feedback from their partners, kids, co-workers, bosses, friends, and family because they are afraid of what they might say. Don’t worry, if you ask you have a choice of how you will interpret the comments. You can take them in as negative or positive. You can see them as criticism or constructive criticism. You can let them empower you and explore new possibilities or you can allow them to take your power away and focus on the impossibilities.

The greatest spiritual awakening comes with us breaking free from the glass-bottles of ego, as horizons expand, different cultures imbibe, and faraway travels happen. A travel like Thailand. The ‘land of smiles’, in the furthest Eastern seas, is a place to let go and embrace the silence and peace amidst the unblemished nature. Also, it is a site of learning of how to celebrate life. Thailand is ‘the’ place for a yogi, a seeker, a wanderer traveling towards an eternall

Making international calls is often avoided because of its high cost. Voice over Internet Protocol is commonly used these days to overcome this limitation. In this well paced world multitasking can alone bring success. Technology has provided us with devices for such tasks. However, efficient usage is far from reality. VoIP, a user friendly technology, can make this possible. Several articles on the web suggest cheap internet calls isn’t unreal. The technology that is used is

The membrane of survival is a tight, very constrictive, dark, toxic, rigid structure that only allows in the bare minimum to subsist. Gratitude spirals unscrew the crusted old survival panels that encapsulate the membrane to allow greater space and movement. The new membrane of abundance is ...

If you have ever seen a geode, you would know they look like an ordinary rock on the outside but when broken open, they reveal a beautiful display of crystals. When polished, wow, simply breathtaking. Think of your thoughts like a geode that when opened and polished, they are brilliant gems. So what holds someone back from wanting to discover what’s hidden within? Fear. Apprehension can stop you from delving into yourself.

The dawn of each new day and each new moment is flawless even when it seems flawed by our thinking and emotions. When things are going well it's easier to say or think, "today is a perfect day", but when times are trying in your personal and/or professional life, it can be difficult to see beyond the present impasse or loss. What once seemed like it couldn't be more ideal soon can be filled with sadness, doubt, worry, anxiety, and angst. What happened to those wonderful, exciting, fun, passion filled days? Where did they go? They didn't go anywhere.

Religion defines God based on a specific set of doctrines and rituals. Spirituality refers to a sacred energetic flow and way of being in the world. It cuts across all religious beliefs and traditions and influences your attitudes, feelings and behaviors toward yourself, others, nature and Creator. Spirituality is an important aspect of integrative wellness. When you are being spiritual, you are able to love unconditionally, focus on positive outcomes, live your truth, feel grateful, experience inner peace, and witness the miraculous.

You can make the future brighter beginning today. You can be the sun shining through on a cloudy day or the rainbow after a storm. You already have what it takes to do so. Do you know what that is? There are no two greater or endearing qualities than love and kindness. You are an expression of these and they are for you to give and receive freely.

Why are decisions so difficult? Because each one has ramifications – and we are looking for our choices to be perfect…to answer every need and criteria. What a shock – they usually don’t. I suggest you look at the following: - Why has the item or event to decide upon come about? - How much of the criteria does it answer? - How much is fear getting in the way? Can you imagine what civilization would be like if every Inventor, Artist, Architect, Scientist, Doctor, Politici

This technique is a fabulous way to create in an unlimited way and and to guide your actions and decisions based on your True Self’s or Greater Self's feeling sense.

After watching the video series, The Truth About Cancer, I am reminded how important it is for each of us to take charge of our health. If we do not, the powerful organizations currently in charge of our environment, our food, and our medical care will continue to lead us down a path that promotes disease not wellness. The most important thing we can do to get well and stay healthy is to become a conscious consumer. The grocery store is an important part of this quest.

So I'm sitting in a local coffee joint with my new friend Ben. He's young, excited, a talented photographer and just waiting to see what the world will bring him next. And like most 18 year olds, his view of the world is limited to what he's already seen. He knows he wants something more ...

Honestly, what does joy have to do with it? If I hear one more New Agey "gotta be happy or I'm gonna die" guru tell me that I have to be happy, I'm just gonna . . .well, you get the picture. Do I? Do I have to be happy? Of course not. Being happy or not isn't all that important. What is important, is being what you are in any one now moment, and then having what you're being mean nothing. Again, do you have to have what you are being, mean nothing? No, certainly, you don't have to do this either. In fact, you don't have to do anything at all. Where's that list? Nothing of the sort.

Receiving is one of the words that is used a lot in metaphysical circles, especially in relationship to “being willing to receive” money. Let’s look at the definition. Receive: From Latin recipere, meaning “regain, take back” It’s a combination of the prefix re- which had two meanings “again” and “back to the original place”, + -cipere, which is a form of capere “to take” (see capable). To receive means to take again and to take back to the original place.

“The human body is the best picture of the human soul.”rn-- Ludwig Wittgenstein, philosopher. As I listen to people struggling with their illnesses or physical discomforts, I continue to be amazed that most do not make the connection between how they live their lives and their physical health. It seems so obvious to me that dealing with a physical ailment is a great opportunity for self-reflection and life-affirming changes.

Energized marathon runners dressed in fun costumes with smiles on their faces, I could hardly believe my eyes. I said to my husband, “They do not even look tired after running 23 miles; they had another three miles to go.

Eating special foods, especially your favorite sugary treats and drinks, are part of celebrating the holidays. However, when you eat too much refined sugar, your insulin and blood sugar levels rise. If you make eating sugar a daily habit, you may develop insulin resistance: More and more insulin is necessary to fuel your cells and maintain normal blood sugar levels. High blood sugar levels contribute to chronic inflammation, which is the underlying cause of most diseases.

The majority of your day is probably spent listening and communicating with others. Whether it's your children, partner, co-workers, friends, etc., you have an ear open to what is being said. The question is, "Are you really hearing them?" I'm not talking about conversations pertaining to the weather or general chatting, I'm referring to the heart to heart discussions or matters of importance. Most of us haven't learned effective ways of listening and connecting with someone.

How beautiful to be free! Free from illusions and the endless demands of ego. We are in a magnificent age in the world right now, one where humanity is awakening, remembering our wholeness, our goodness, and our unlimited potential. Here are ten ways to enhance your own awakening process and live in freedom, love and joy!

It takes either an act of courage or an act of sheer desperation to jump out of the groove, out of the old thinking to follow your dreams. Perhaps it takes a bit of both to make so bold a move as to disregard all one has known in the past and to step out of the dark, sticky, gooey molasses ...

TB Wright I once asked a woman who was giving tips on "How to become enlightened" not as a flip way of sassing her, but as a legitimate question. "How can you give advice in any way whatsoever, on being enlightened, when you are not?" She answered by saying that she could certainly know of the existence of something, without being that. I agreed with her. I knew of the sun, without being the sun, but I wasn't saying I was on the path to become the sun now, was I? So the question still remained.

Have you ever wondered to yourself, “Who am I?” On the road to discovering my true self, I discovered that I already possessed everything I needed to heal and restore my battered and torn spirit. Before I received this revelation, however, I often just wanted to throw in the towel. I simply ...

Living a successful, more abundant life is something everybody wants. Who amongst us wouldn't want to be surrounded with the things capable of filling our lives with happiness? We have only one go 'round at this thing called life and we each deserve to live it as abundantly as we choose. The ...

Recently, death took two significant people in my life: my beloved aunt (mother figure) and my younger brother (only sibling). They died two months apart. My aunt’s death was expected, but my brother’s was sudden. My world shattered and my heart broke. While I believe the soul is ete al and death is an illusion, these tragedies forced me to go deeper into this mystery in order to heal and find comfort. To my surprise, several experiences helped me strengthened my belief in the immortality of the soul.

Truth is the one most powerful method for manifesting money, being happier, and in the long run, for expanding upon our wealth. Where wealth in The One Penny Millionaire!™ is defined as "an increase in any area of your life that is important to you." This is why the "fake it till you make it" method only works in a minimal way. I prefer the "tell the truth now, tell the truth later" method. In this way, those things which can block our success, such as all manner of resistance, fear, anger, and disappointment, are confronted, told the truth about, and then gone beyond.

When I attend networking events, I am always surprised by freelancers, and entrepreneurs that use a free email account – like Hotmail, or Yahoo, or one provided by an Internet Service Provider – rather than a vanity email with their own domain name. They have emails like ABC235LLCCorp@Gmail.com ather tha Jane@ABC235Corp.com. When I ask them why don’t just set up a vanity email with their existing domain name, they give me excuses like how they don’t want to track two emails (personal vs. business), or how they don’t want to pay the extra cost to set up a separate account.

To borrow a line from Charles Dickens: These are the best of times; these are the worst of times. These are the worst of times for many Americans as the job market continues to put more and more people out of work. Millions of people have lost their steady paycheck and right now, job security ...

We just got finished with a birthday weekend for my older daughter. My wife and I noticed something really cool that was happening with her...something that has everything to do with expereincing abundance. Here's the story: there was a time in our lives when we were watching every dime. We ...

I’ll admit it: I know how to tango. I started years ago. I never performed, or competed. I didn’t do it to pick up on women. I just did it for fun. The dance itself is unpredictable considering there is no set pattern, and I have to keep switching partners since I didn’t have a permanent partner. That’s what makes tango so interesting: the unpredictability.

So there's, Sarah, my "Little Girl," now 12, hopping around like a lunatic. She's inside a large cardboard box that, three hours ago had a new vacuum cleaner in it. I suppose it's like moths to the light for kids, even those on the verge of being teenagers. The lure of hopping around in a big ...

Just the thought of the holiday season can create a sense of panic and stress for many people. The added financial expenses, the loss of a loved one or a job, being alone, or not well, can leave one feeling depressed and or stressed. Then there can be luncheons, dinner engagements, parties, gift purchasing, wrapping, decorating, baking, dinners to prepare and/or attend, etc., and can be extremely overwhelming and exhausting. It doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, the holidays can be a very beautiful and peaceful time.
