Reclaiming Your Power to Discern

By Sal Provino | March 16, 2021 

    What is it? Discernment is a way of creating value in whatever we do and looking at life in a way reflecting 'what ought to be'. This makes it true to our self. It helps us reason better, and aim for the best possible outcomes. It definitely gives us power to be able to deduce possibility. You see, once upon a time, humans did not have computers, or the internet, or any form of instrumentation, etc... Therefore, people had the ability to obtain sharp perceptions and judge current situations with what they had - discernment. It was part of their activity of solving problems, and it ought to be a natural part in the process of judgement for us today. 

    I found that within its psychology people utilized boundaries created by morals, values and other belief systems. Discernment was once seen as a personal scientific tool. It enabled people to determine what is true in our world. Within the confines of general judgment, we are able to make assumptions and arrive to actionable conclusions about the possibilities being made available to us. It tests the degree and strength of things. For example, Christians believe that Discernment is a Virtue, and that it helps us to inject wisdom into the decisions we make, keeping us on desirable consciousness and path we choose. Have we lost it? Back in the early pioneering years men and women knew their location without the help of a GPS. They could walk for days toward a destination without a compass. They knew where to look for bush food and wild trucker along the way. Fishermen could sense if it was going to rain. 

    People in nature could tell if it was going to be a burning hot day or that a storm was approaching. They could understand and interpret the nuances spoken by others. They could discern, and they did it without the aid of electronic gadgets. A primary school class was once asked by their teacher questions which were answered in an innocent but incorrect way revealing what the students' reality was truly made up of. These children were no longer able to discern. They were accepting the world around them according to someone else's interpretation and instruction. 

    "Where does milk come from?" asked the teacher. "Oh miss, everyone knows that milk comes from a carton at the supermarket!" was the first answer. "OK. Who knows where money comes from?" She then asked. "Miss, miss, me... me! My mother showed me that money comes from the hole in the wall just outside her bank. She calls it that - 'the hole in the wall'." You might be forgiven for thinking this was made up, and a joke, but it wasn't, it isn't. So, the question begs to be asked again. Have we lost it?  With the advent of technology and our separation from Mother earth it has rendered us incapable of doing the things our ancestors found to be common knowledge, and essential for living. Not to mention the type of mindless activities, such as bingeing on senseless TV shows, playing endless computer games, etc... which do nothing more than disengage our brain from our body for certain amounts of time which we have chosen to remain in vegetative state. That's part of how we lost discernment. 

    The child of the future will rely on things like the internet and the like to be able to make the right decision. It will be harder for them to 'Discern' what should be done. How do we get it back? The process of individual discernment is not a difficult one but it does have steps that can be taken in order to achieve a sensible level of discernment. Here are seven tips you can use for reclaiming your natural discerning powers: 

    1. Act without any Fear for the outcome. Whatever comes, will come. Making a decision is more important than not making one at all. If you are right, then you are on track. If not, you can correct it and get back on track. Don't rush it, but do make the decision! Give yourself a deadline for deciding what to do, otherwise procrastination can set in. 

    2. Use both your head and your heart. It is important to listen to your feelings, and at the same time looking at the practicality of the proposed solution. Be informed. This helps you properly assess the possibilities available to you. Every individual has a different value system, and that means you will arrive at your preferred conclusion with what makes sense to you, and feels right for you. 

    3. Don't let others do your thinking for you. Reclaim your sovereignty, and make a stand. 

    4. Remember that when in a group, e.g., committee you are also considering every other individual's choice. Remember to always state how you feel about things. 

    5. Listen to your feelings closely. Is what being said making you feel ill, or excited? That will be your guiding force to what is being discussed. 

    6. Ask for the opinion of someone you trust and value. 

    7. If you are a person who believes in the Power of Prayer, then use Prayer as a tool to confirm your conclusions. Take the first step by going it alone. No gadgets!

If You Don't Succeed, Affirm and Affirm Again

 By William T Batten | March 13, 2021 

    Politicians repeat themselves a lot - have you noticed that? It's not (just) because they like the sound of their own voices. There's a powerful influence principle at play there. It's the same principle behind marketing. Everyone thinks they're immune to marketing, as if businesses somehow invest billions in it for the fun of it. But it works. Even when you ignore it, it works. The principle politicians and marketers use so well is this: We humans like familiarity. The more familiar something is, the more likely we are to like and accept it. The most familiar ideas are our own. 

    That's why we like it when folks agree with us. You might not know what you're talking about, but your own ideas still seduce you and win you over. This is why politicians run their mouth - when you start to recognize and remember their voice and ideas, you start to believe in them a little more. Not much more - this isn't mind control or anything - but sometimes it's enough. Same with ads, too. Businesses would prefer you to sit and fully absorb their ads... but, hey, just noticing the brand, even for a millisecond, makes it more familiar to you. This doesn't have to be a problem. If you remember to think through your major decisions - like big purchases and who to vote for - this won't get in your way. But while it's interesting to know how to defend against these things.. it's even more interesting to learn how to use them to enrich your life. And chances are, you already are. This is one of the key components of the affirmation engine. 

    Saying an affirmation once won't do much for you. Maybe it'll get you excited and energized, which is a nice start, but the real results come later.  Twice, three times, not so much. It's only once you've repeated it so many times it becomes embedded deep in your mind that you start to see results. Your unconscious mind recognizes it as a familiar idea. And, with your desire driving it, it stops being a sentence and starts being an instruction. But before you write an app to display your affirmations on your phone every five seconds, repetition can also work against you. 

    Repeating the words every day is one thing. But it's repeating the emotions that really gets things moving. Feeling hope, determination and enthusiasm for your dreams, every day, will change your life more than maybe anything else. So repeat your affirmations, early and often. Just be sure to keep the emotion alive. There are two ways to do affirmations: There's the easy way, where you stick a note on your fridge and pretend it'll work. Then there's the right way. Affirmations aren't a shortcut to better things. They take discipline and persistence. But I pity anyone who doesn't sharpen their mind and focus every day.

6 Tips to Organize Your Thoughts

 

By Sally E Morgan | November 10, 2020 

    Anything can be organized, even your thoughts. We say that we can't help the way we think, but we can! There may be things in life that we have no control over, but our thoughts are not one of them. When a thought comes to mind, you make the choice to accept or reject that thought. Your choice may be conscious or subconscious, but either way it's your choice. Our brains function basically like computers. They are constantly processing information; incoming thoughts and outgoing actions. At times, so many thoughts are floating around in our heads that we can't keep them all straight. If we don't purge the excess in some way, we become overwhelmed, and process this information in a much slower, less efficient way than we would like. The list below provides 6 tips to help organize your thoughts. My hope is that these tips will provide some relief for the barrage of thoughts that come from our fast-paced lives. 

    Clutter is clutter, whether it comes in the form of things in our homes, or the thoughts in our brains. We need to purge clutter from our brains, just like we purge clutter from our homes. Document your thoughts - This seems like a simple idea and it is. There are times when we have ideas, or thoughts about a multitude of things. If you don't get those things out of your head and documented in some way, you're in danger of forgetting them, or becoming overwhelmed. Use the medium that works best for you such as - pen & paper, text message, voice message, phone app, etc. Sort your thoughts - After you document all your thoughts, tasks, concerns, ideas, questions, etc., sort them into their respective categories. Prioritize your thoughts - Due dates and deadlines are priorities based on importance and urgency. Many times, due dates and deadlines determine our priorities. Other times, our troubles cause us to worry, and those thoughts become our priority. Taking an action on those worrisome thoughts, however small it may be, can possibly reduce the stress, so you can purposefully re-prioritize the thought for another time. Reframing a thought - Reframing refers to changing the way a thought, concept or idea is considered. This can be helpful when you are problem solving. Looking at an issue in a different way may provide a viable solution. 

    No multi-tasking - It's been determined that multi-tasking is counter-productive. When you try to perform more than one task at a time, your brain spends more time trying to switch between tasks, or thoughts. Focus on one thought at a time for optimal productivity. Mental clarity - Sometimes we need a break. Thinking can be exhausting. In order to organize our thoughts, we need mental clarity. There are many ways to achieve mental clarity and it's different for all of us. Taking a walk in the fresh air does it for me. Meditation works for some, while exercise does it for others. Find something that works for you and practice it regularly. Sally E Morgan is the owner of SOS: Simple Organized Solutions LLC.

All the Best Memory Advice in One Place

 

By Yossi Eliyahu | June 25, 2013

     If you cannot recall things, you may feel like you have no control over your life. But, this is not a condition you need to accept as permanent and irreversible. There are many memory-enhancing techniques that you can try to improve your memory. This article provides several effective ideas that you might find beneficial. Ways to help you remember: 

1. Mnemonic process: To aid with remembering particular items of information, try using mnemonic techniques. A mnemonic is a word association device that helps in the memorization of information. Here is one example. If your neighbors are named Michelle and Mike, you can better remember their names by associating them with M&M candy. 

2. Don't cram information. If committing something to memory is essential, take the time to establish planned sessions in which to study. It is stressful and ineffective to try and learn a new subject, all in one sitting. When you do this, you overwhelm your brain, and don't recall all that you studied. Create regular study sessions to get your brain into the habit of remembering. 

3. Useful connections. To aid your memory, try connecting the new information you are trying to remember with knowledge you already possess. For example, you can link information to a more familiar concept. Over time, this process will make it easier to store information in your long-term memory. One technique for making it easier to recall information is to use "chunking." "Chunking" is grouping information, like phone numbers, in an easy way, so that you can easily recall it later when you need it, or when someone else needs to jot it down. If you are trying to commit important information to memory, such as test questions, you should create an organizational system that groups subjects together in a logical fashion. You are more likely to remember and be able to recall the material when it is organized in such a way. 

4. Take a break. If you try to force information into your brain and don't take breaks, you won't remember it as well on test day. Your brain needs time to process information in order to learn it; give it some down time after studying for a while to aid in processing. However, you should be cautious. It is very important to take breaks when you are studying, make sure you have enough time as well. Devote a longer amount of time in studying for a test, rather than studying the night before. 

5. Tools: Makes use of calendars, agendas and other planners. Invest in a planner so that you can keep track of important things. Make a schedule for yourself and refer to it occasionally. By recording things on paper and reading over them, you will be aiding your mind. Your brain doesn't have to remember as much, and these things are handy and helpful in case you forget. 

6. Practice: Memory games are good to practice, preserve and develop memory. Practicing (playing) lateral thinking games, solving puzzles and remembering text is like a gym to your brain. 

Life style and behavior: 

1. Nutrition: Fish oil should be present in your diet. If you find your memory isn't as good as it used to be, you should try adding Omega-3 to your diet. You can add fish oil to your diet easily by taking an Omega 3 supplement. Avoid drinking coffee if your memory gives you problems. Coffee, and other caffeinated drinks, can contribute to dehydration. If you are dehydrated, you will notice that you feel sluggish and fatigued; this can be attributed to the fact that your brain is largely made of water. This, in turn, has an impact on your recall abilities. 

2. Self-confidence. Do not doubt yourself. The notion that your memory always fails in old age is very common. This happens sometimes, but not always. You can damage your memory when you expect it to go. When others start doubting your ability to remember things, you may begin to believe them. Simply extending the belief that you still have a strong memory can shortcircuit this phenomenon. 

3. Social life: You will be less likely to develop a condition that causes memory loss if you have solid and healthy relationships with the people around you. Research has demonstrated that spending quality time with family and friends is healthy for the portion of the brain that contains your memories. This doesn't necessarily mean many hours per week. It only requires a few hours per week. Don't fret about a less-than-stellar memory. The tips that you have learned here can help your memory if you use them whenever you can. Be patient and diligent in these methods, and you should see positive results. The main thing you need to do to obtain good results is to work hard, and maintain a positive attitude.

Interruptions Intruding? 3 Timely Tips Restore Your Focus and Productivity!

 

By Paula Eder | August 24, 2019

     Using solid time management strategies helps you prioritize, organize, and plan ahead. But once you have a plan, you also need solid skills for managing those inevitable interruptions that challenge your focus and your productivity. Sharpening these skills will keep you on track. Neglecting them means that you'll lose your focus, and your effectiveness and productivity will suffer. Is this a familiar scenario? You have a deadline and each tick of the clock brings it closer, as you work hard to meet it. You are churning out creative ideas and ticking off items on your to-do list. Suddenly, someone pops into your office. How do you feel when this distraction suddenly asks for your attention? The thing is, you have to decide how to respond on the fly. This requires skills that are totally different from the skills you need to plan and prioritize ahead of time. 

    And your response is very important, in 2 ways:  The what of your response determines what happens, concretely and immediately, in the time that follows. Do you pause and spend time with the person? Do you stay on track and ask him or her to come back later? · And how you respond can make you feel either empowered or depleted. Do you invite the person in but feel victimized by your choice? Does your response leave you feeling more or less in charge of yourself and your time? This significantly affects your energy as you move ahead. So BEFORE the interruptions is the best time to plan for them. These 3 Timely Tips help you maintain effectiveness in a world where focused time is at a premium and interruptions are the norm. How to Manage Interruptions You can accomplish more and enjoy a boost in morale when you expect interruptions and have planned ahead for them. (And the distractions don't have to be people - they can be ideas, interesting websites, you name it!) The secret lies in creating proactive patterns. You redirect distractions to scheduled appointments. In doing that you give them their due while you protect your focus and priorities. 

    3 Tips to Keep You Focused, Effective and Flexible: 1. Discover ways you actually invite interruptions from other people. Document (with friendly energy) the ways that you reward people for interrupting you. For example, do you keep your door open? Look up and smile? There may be many ways that you subtly invite unscheduled visits. Remember - this is not an exercise in self criticism; be sure to thank and validate yourself for each insight! This is a very practical and powerful way to start making more conscious choices and reclaiming your time. This is all entirely within your range of control! 2. Redirect interruptions to time you've reserved. What time of day are you most productive? Block out that time, whenever possible, for activities you have prioritized in advance. Next, choose a different part of the day for responding to requests and other things that pop up during the day. (Remember, this can be for external interruptions or for the good ideas and interesting news stories that can tug at your focus.) Estimate how much time you generally need to attend to these matters and then set that block of time aside, too, in your schedule. And if you have a hard time maintaining boundaries around this time, scheduling it as the last thing before lunch or before you leave work gives you with a clear endpoint. Keep your appointment book open and nearby. As interruptions arise, schedule them in for the time you've reserved. Be specific and be sure to follow-through, whether your item involves another person or yourself alone. This builds trust in the fact that the issue will be addressed, and you can return to your work more quickly. If some of your interruptions come via phone or e-mail, you can set up auto-responses to indicate that you'll get back to people at a specified time of day. 3. Proactively reduce interruptions by anticipating needs. Are there external interruptions that you can anticipate? Seize the initiative. Contact the person when it is convenient for you and set up a time to talk. Developing this habit strengthens your capacity to coordinate a constructive energy flow for yourself. What might have been an interruption is now one of your priorities! As you explore your responses to interruptions, strive to see this as a time of investigation and experimentation. Look for fresh options to unfold, and be sure to encourage yourself by welcoming all the valuable lessons. Taking the initiative when confronted with unexpected interruptions is very empowering! When you realize that your daily destiny is in your hands, that has an immediate and positive impact on your choices, your focus, and your productivity.

Throwback Thursday with Paul J. Meyer

 

Create Momentum in 3 Minutes Flat

 By Jeanna Gabellini | August 03, 2018 

    It's common to experience fulfillment in some areas of your life while feeling like you're backpedaling in another area. Have no fear, if you want to move forward in that one area. Here's something you can do right now. Seize the moment! It'll only take about one minute longer than it takes for you to read this article. Bring to mind the optimal outcome you want. Just spend a moment articulating, in one or two sentences, the end result. For example, "I found my perfect house on the water and the financing easily fell into place." Notice I put this in past tense, as if it already happened. Now, what can you find that's working well about the current situation? What can you appreciate? I began looking for a house before my financing was in place and before my mate was on board with this goal. It looked like an impossible dream at the time. 

    When I was house hunting, I focused appreciation toward my realtor, who was patient, enthusiastic, and compassionate. I appreciated that many people gave me creative ideas for my financing. Every house gave me a new design or decorating idea. Make the obstacles less significant. Remember that no matter what aggravating evidence is revealed to make it look like your goal is being stomped on by the Universe, don't give it too much attention. You'll always find a way to get your outcome if you release the obstacles as relevant. Whenever I found a house that piqued my interest, either the price tag was several hundred thousand above my budget, the view was the size of a postage stamp, or my mate would find something wrong with the deal. I kept holding out that the Universe would find a way to bring together all the pieces in an ideal way. When you're not feeling inspired or ease around the goal, stop all action and attention to it. 

    This is the time to go get involved in the areas of your life that are working well. Trust me, you will not benefit from trying to make something happen when you are feeling agitated. Even if the area you need movement in is finances. Your finances can't improve when you've got your panties in a wad about them. You're only a vibrational match to trickles of income when your attitude is in the dumps. Every moment is an opportunity to acknowledge that there are good things happening in your life. There might only be one or two things you can find that seem to be okay. Give some energy there. You're always in transition, and this moment is only temporary. The good stuff is coming, but you have to chill out in the meantime. 

Don't Determine What's Possible For You Based On Where Your Life Is Right Now

 By Tony Fahkry | April 22, 2020 

    Judging Your Life Doesn't Help You: I want you to reflect on what is working favorably in your life right now? Is it your relationships, finances, health, family, career, etc? Now, think about what is not working for you? What area of your life could be improved? Let's set aside the current circumstances regarding the Coronavirus pandemic because we have little control in what happens. But I invite you to examine the various aspects of your life, to see how you could improve it. We mustn't think our life isn't working based on where we are right now. Sometimes, our current situation may be a transition for the next phase of our life. Life is constantly evolving. Judging our current circumstances is like taking a photograph of someone, believing that is how they will look their entire life. Moreover, you keep looking at the photograph over the years, thinking the person is still the same. But this is wishful thinking, since they will have matured, changed the color of their hair, perhaps lost weight or changed other aspects of their appearance. What I'm saying is: if we judge our life based on a snapshot of where we are, we miss out on what is yet to unfold. Are you comfortable with this idea that your life is constantly evolving? 

    It would be remiss of you to decide what isn't possible based on what is lacking or not working. I hope you get the impression that judging your life doesn't help you get to the next chapter, but keeps you stuck in your current predicament. Naturally, we evaluate life through the lens of disappointment and discouragement. Many people do this because they want to fix what isn't working. But what if your life isn't broken and you are judging it unfairly? That is to say, perhaps the pieces of your life are still coming together and look disjointed because the entire picture is not complete? Anything Is Possible For You What we ought to do is work towards how our life should look, knowing the pieces may not fit, since it is still coming together. Is this beginning to make sense, where judging your life is pointless because life is constantly flowing through us like a stream. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus said: "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." He was referring to the ever-changing speed at which our life ebbs and flows. What we are certain of today may be irrelevant tomorrow. This is evident right now regarding the Coronavirus. Scientists and infectious disease experts are only certain of the data today because things aren't changing at an ever-increasing rate. And so it is with your life. 

    Things may appear to be working against you today, and suddenly everything can fall into place tomorrow. It is when we look back on our life, we can see that our failures and mistakes had to happen, to bring us to where we are today. Anything is possible for you, as long as you continue moving forward and not give up hope of a better future. If you give up, you stop taking risks and settle for what you've got. Unfortunate things happen to people every day. They can cause setbacks and frustration because we believe we are not making progress. But these thoughts are an illusion, contrived by the egoic mind to protect us from getting hurt. But ask any successful person and they will tell you, some of the best things that happened to them, came out of nowhere. They occurred when they least expect it, while pursuing their goals and dreams. 

    With this in mind, I'd like you to draw up on a piece of paper or your phone, three columns with the headings: What Is Working for Me and What Is Not Working for Me. In the third column write: What Is The Lesson? Take some time to work through the questions I asked you at the beginning of the article, regarding what is working for you and against you. This will give you a sense of how your life is tracking and whether you need to intervene. Sometimes, interfering in our life is like throwing a stone into a serene pond which disturbs the pristine water. Instead, allow life to organize itself around you and through you, to bring you what you need at the right time. After all, if we determine what is possible based on where we are, we miss out on the potential for life to deliver what we need, when we least expect it. Do you want to lead a remarkable life? Are you committed to taking action despite your fears and doubts?

How To Use Your Time To Create The Life You Want

 By Carmen Gilfillan | July 02, 2019 

    How you use your time is just one of the variables to success. I'm not talking about the passage of time because time just is. It's what you do with the time that you have that matters. One of the secrets to success is knowing how much time to spend on the right things at the right time in the right order to get the results you want in your life. We have so many distractions these days that it's so easy to be swayed off course. So how do you know when you're using your time effectively and when you're not? 

1. Get the Balance Right It's all about balance. If you feel you're working too slowly, how can you speed up such that you're still fully present with the task at hand, you're minimizing errors and you're in that alpha brainwave state (where you're fully absorbed in what you're doing)? If work is coming in at a faster pace than your working pace you know you need to reduce the time you're spending on tasks or increase your pace. If you're rushing around in a state of unhealthy stress (yes there is healthy stress... it's called moderate pressure!) what do you need to do to slow down and bring a sense of calmness and balance back into your being? If you're being drawn away from what you're doing by social media and time is just passing you by, what strategies and stops do you need to put in place to ensure that you minimize those distractions? It's all about finding that fine line between speed and pace, between stress and pressure, between distraction and taking a break. How you view what you're engaged in at any point in time is key to how successfully you do what you do. It's about gaining that clarity in your mind. 

    For example if you feel your pace is too slow or to fast on a particular day and you've got a long list of tasks to accomplish that day, get clear about why your pace is the way it is. Look back at what you were doing yesterday. Did you have a full-on day yesterday, or was your day too easy? In which case should you have scheduled in a lighter day today or a more active one? How did you sleep last night? If you spent the night tossing and turning and hardly slept that might be a clue that maybe your body just needs rest today. If you slept soundly last night this is going to contribute to an extra boost of energy for you. Look at what you've been eating over the last few days. If it's empty calories that give you the feeling of fullness but lack nourishment, this is going to drain your energy levels. If, however, you've been taking in food and drink packed with E numbers you may find yourself bouncing off the walls. All of these aspects are going to have an impact on the time you spend, so planning your days effectively taking account of your energy levels is crucial. 

    2. Understand How You Respond Another indicator as to whether your life is working for you time wise is how well you're moving towards what you want in life. A measure of this is how you're responding at the end of each day to what you've achieved... or not. If you feel disappointed because once again you've not accomplished what you wanted to achieve, perhaps it's because once again you've unrealistically tried to fit too many tasks into one day. By asking yourself certain questions about the activities you undertake will begin to give you an understanding of how well you're using your time. Do you feel your task is too big, too small, too boring? Maybe you're unclear on exactly what it is you need to do. Perhaps you lack clarity on how you're going to do what it is you want to do. 

    3. Prioritize Your Activities Maybe what's needed is some time to clearly define your activity, why you're doing it and to work out a simple strategy that will at least get you moving. Sometimes when you take a few moments to take just these simple steps, your energy levels begin to stabilize because confusion, frustration and uncertainty begin to wane. Taking some time to simply prioritize your tasks according to their level of importance, timing each one and deciding when you are going to tackle each is an amazingly freeing activity on a mental level that will begin to move you forward. Adopting this more practical approach will also help you to learn more about how you naturally work, and to work in accordance with this. 

    4. Get Clear on Your Outcomes The clearer you can be about your desired achievements, the more constructively you'll find yourself using your time. How to do this is relatively simple: Get really clear on exactly what you want to achieve Map out your strategy for getting there Break your project down into prioritized and timed phases and tasks Get to work! Evaluate on an ongoing basis what's working and what's not Make the necessary adjustments along the way Stay open-minded to what success will look like Keep going until you get to where you want to go (or to the closest version of it) Rinse and repeat It's a simple system, but it's not necessarily easy, and a key part of this is how you use the time at your disposal to get to your outcome. When you begin to use your time more effectively by following the strategies above, you can begin to achieve the exact outcomes you want to manifest, and from there start to carve out the exact life you want to live.

What's Your Secret Weapon Against Overwhelm? Your Time Energy

 

By Paula Eder | November 10, 2019 

    Isn't it wonderful when you're in the flow? Work is a breeze, and nothing fazes you. You stay clear and focused. Your alertness helps you respond to setbacks and surprises without being thrown off course. But then, there are those other days... sometimes lots of them! You're so tired. You're cranky and feel caged in, and whenever you embark on a task, it feels like you need way more time than you have! (That's because when you're overwrought and out of sync, projects get snarled, taking you twice as long.) What If You Possessed a Secret Weapon Against Overwhelm? Imagine turning any "off" day into "on" day - moving in harmony with time and releasing overwhelm! You know deep in your heart that there must be something you can do - but what? 

    Well, I have developed an approach that I'd like to share with you. The good news is, you already have a secret weapon against overwhelm, and all you have to do is tap into it! It's like an electrical current, and I call it Time Energy™. Time Energy - 5 Phenomenal Facts About Your Inner Powerhouse When you realize just how groundbreaking this approach is, I believe you'll agree: Its potential is nothing short of life-changing! 

    1. This energy is all yours. Time Energy is you, harnessing your power to make the most of your moments. It's refreshed and revitalized, like a rechargeable battery, by each resourceful and decisive time choice you make. 

    2. It is inexhaustible. In the same way that you can't run out of wisdom, the flow of your Time Energy is never-ending. 

    3. It grows as you use it. As with wisdom, the more frequently you draw on your Time Energy to empower yourself and make sound choices, the stronger it gets. What I call Time Energy is a constellation of disciplines, insights and strengths that evolve, broaden, and deepen as often as you use them. Do you see the potential? 

    4. This energy is about synergy. Your Time Energy amplifies as you coordinate your skills, experience, and wisdom. Think of muscles that work in unison to power you forward. As you strengthen each muscle in relation to the others, your capacity grows exponentially! By bolstering each link, you create a sturdy chain. (And how you identify the spots in need of some firming up is a topic we'll explore down the road.) 

    5. Abundant energy requires abundance thinking. When your energy deflates like a punctured beach ball, view that, not as a problem but as a cue! It tells you that you're temporarily locked into scarcity thinking. And the way out it to look within. With practice, you'll be able to simply say, "I choose Time Energy" like a mantra to quickly access your powerful and abundant inner reserves. Notice how you feel whenever you're in the flow. Welcome this energy like the good friend that it is.

 By Chio Ugochukwu  |  January 22, 2021

    Do you know that you have the potential to do anything you want to do? The big challenge you have is having the ability to make better decisions based on the resources that you have. You have all the resources you require to get the most of your talents every day. Don't allow your daily challenges and obstacles prevent you from seeking to achieve unlimited potential in your daily life. Anything is a possibility if you are committed to achieving it. Here are 3 keys to living with unlimited potential. The first key to living with unlimited potential is to remember that you may not always be successful in everything you have attempted.

Do you think she would have achieved her potential if she had quit the 3rd time she failed or lost in the competition. The second key to living with unlimited potential is that you tune out the noise. Others will judge and tell you that you cannot succeed.

If You Really Want to Be Happy, There Is Only ONE THING You Need!

 By Niti Krishnakumar | January 24, 2021 

    Good news everybody - finally discovered the code to unending everlasting happiness. Trust me, I am not going to quote from any book because I received this revelation from Heaven this morning and I am bursting forth with joy on having discovered this secret that the entire human race has been vociferously trying to decode since centuries. I am getting your hopes up and building to this point of 'I can't wait to know this' because the discovery will help you live a super happy life from this moment on. Just the discovery is enough to set you free. So let's cut to the chase - what is that one thing that we all need? Hmm, if I put the answer to you directly in two words, you may miss it. So I will give you many situations in your daily life that usually unsettle you and give you the answer for what could be done to improve it and this will bring you to the answer. But, the answer to each situation will only be a partial answer and you will have to put these traits together to reach the final answer! 

    Situation 1: It's time for breakfast and you are hungry. There's no one in the kitchen and nobody has ordered any food. You call out to your mom, wife, cook and you can't hear them respond to your call. You are frustrated and you want to yell louder when you hear your stomach growl loudly and you feel dissipated. "What can I do? I am so hungry I could eat a wolf and there's no one to see how distressed I am." 

    Response 1: I am going to order something fast. 

    Response 2: I am going to cook some light meal to hold on for now. 

    Response 3: I am going to binge on snacks 

    Let's say you chose response 3. It's easy and off-the-shelf. Moreover, it gave you some empty calories. You could have made some oatmeal or eaten salad instead. But you chose the snack as your panacea. Consequences of your decision: In all likelihood, you will be angrier than you were before. Because junk food makes one a freak junkie. All this unwanted food is making your body spin in the wrong direction. So you are losing your sense of propriety and you feel you are the boss and you can call all the shots. So you decide to behave with your family rashly. You get corny and apathetic. You can't listen to what they have to say. You look tough and you become insensitive. You have wasted your morning. Frustrating indeed? I am hinting that the situation could have been handled better. You could have had a better response to the situation and you could have enjoyed the moment if you only knew how to make it work for you. Clearly your appetite for food was hard to control because your body was stronger than your spirit. We know that we can go without food for many days and not having food for a few hours is actually good for your health. You could have waited or tried to find out what was the hold-up. But something kept you in a place of bondage. Let's examine the next situation. 

    Situation 2: "My dog is not well. He's been sneezing and looking for cover. Probably, he's felling cold." So you pull a blanket over him. He feels cozy and stops sneezing. Then he goes to sleep and wakes up fit and fine. Congrats! You did well to sense what the dog needed and provided it. So you were able to enjoy the moment knowing that you wouldn't have to rush about taking him to the vet or driving him to another vet and so on. This is the comfortable place we want to be in. When we can have some control over the situations of our life without feeling helpless and outdone. These are precious moments that help us feel sane and glad to be alive. When things go well, it is time to relax and when things seem to go downhill, they can make us nervous. So how do we embrace success every time? What if I hadn't sensed the situation carefully and failed to provide an answer? The situation could have been worse and my day wouldn't have been well-spent. Let's take a new situation where things could go terribly wrong. 

    Situation 3: The fan is not working because the power went and it's hot. "I can't work and meet my deadline." So I ask my daughter to fan me with a piece of cardboard or a hand fan if she can find it. She refuses. It is a hot situation. You have work that should've been finished by now. What's the best way forward? Life is made up of trying situations such as the above. There's too little time even to vent your anger. What if the person dismisses you as absurd and irrelevant? There are many things that go wrong in life. I can list many more situations when we wish we had some more patience, some more time to think and even knowledge to take the right course of action that we would not regret. The fun is doing life when everything is bound to go wrong; being persistent and sticking with what you believe, and being convinced that this is the way forward. "What relief! At least I can be confident that I am on the right track!" Just to know is half-deliverance and the rest is getting up to speed and doing it. If you are really convinced, it is easier to execute personal well-being (sorry, these are not the two magic words). 

    The magic words are "GOOD CHARACTER". In all the three cases, we responded according to our character. Our response to everything that happens to us is determined largely by our character. If you invest in building a great character where you are not easily annoyed or put off by other's mannerisms and behaviors, are forgiving and tolerant, adjusting and accommodating, even loving, you will certainly enjoy a great life. Indeed everyone sets out in life thinking money is the solution to all the problems they face but that is not true. If you have what you need for sustenance, you are blessed to have a great life because blessings come to those who have a great nature. You will be far more productive in any field of work and you will be respected and influential. You will gain favor from everyone for being a simple yet caring person without any airs.

Principles of Success - Definiteness of Purpose

 

By Elphas Sipho Mdluli | January 13, 2021 

    Everyone desires to succeed in life. When you seriously want something, you can sacrifice for it. Definiteness of purpose is an unwavering desire one has in life. It is a strong wish that needs to be realized. One needs to write it down to ensure that it is firmly planted in one's subconscious mind. It is said that whatever the mind can conceive, it can achieve. Achieving such is not about how deep a person's formal education and poverty levels are. A person possesses some thing powerful to change anything in life. Regardless of the number of times you may have failed in achieving something in life, definiteness of purpose shall help drive you achieve your desire. God the Creator has given a gift to every man, which is different from other creatures, that is, the ability to use and control the mind to achieve anything in life. You can control anything. Other creatures only follow instincts, which they do not even understand. It is, therefore, important that you describe exactly what you want. Set a goal bigger than the one you achieved before. 

    To very human being is placed two choices in life. That is to follow blessings or riches and curses, which are a result failure to control one's mind accordingly. You enjoy blessings if you possess and direct your mind. Failure to possess and direct the mind leads to penalties or negative consequences. Blessings of possessing and directing the mind result in several benefits, which include sound health, peace of mind, freedom from fear and worry, positive mental attitude, and material riches of your choice and quantity. On the other hand, failure to direct and control one's mind results in ill- health, fear and worry, indecision and doubt, frustration and discouragement throughout life, poverty and lack, a lot of evil consisting of things like anger, unforgiveness, etc. What should you do to ensure you have definiteness of purpose? 

1. Get some thing on which to write your major desire in life. It terms of achieving your desire in life, you are limited by those limits you accept or those you allow others to set for you. 

2. Clearly describe what you intend to do in return to get what you desire in life. Begin doing it immediately. Always remember that there is nothing for nothing. Provide service or something of value.

 3. Read and repeat the statements you have written down and memorize them. Read it the statements at least twice a day, that is, in the morning and evening. Begin expressing gratitude for realizing your desire before holding it in your hands. Definiteness of purpose is the first principle of success on anything you want to achieve in life. Know what you want and put it on a concise statement. It is important to determine what you can offer or provide in return to acquiring your desire. Put the two statements on paper or writing so you can read and memorize them. Read it regularly until it is part of you. Start expressing gratitude right away.

Don't Let Your Senses And Reason Dictate What Is Possible For You

By Tony Fahkry | December 08, 2020 

Guide Your Thoughts And Feelings: Think of a problem you're currently facing. Have you tried to overcome it? If your efforts have failed, are you willing to consider correcting your thoughts about the situation? It's common that when problems and challenges arise, we fixate on the issue trying to find a solution. After all, we live in a three-dimensional world and our problems are real. But I'd like to propose another faculty to help us overcome our problems. This faculty is the power of the human imagination, which is a precursor to our upcoming future. To prove this idea, have you ever ruminated on negative thoughts that eventually became a reality? Psychologists call this confirmation bias, where our beliefs and values confirm our thoughts. Neville Goddard was one of the first self-help authors to express these ideas, during the late 1930s to early 70s. He went to great lengths to support the idea of the human imagination being God, working through mankind. I've studied his work for the last decade and whilst I agree with his philosophies, there's some I disagree with, given our understanding of physics and consciousness. One of Neville's popular sayings is: "Remember, everyone in your world is yourself pushed out. 

    They only reflect what you have been and maybe still are doing. Blame no one, not even yourself, just change your diet. The diet is simply words, all within you." The premise is that our conscious or unconscious thoughts will be expressed in our life. Now, so I'm not misunderstood as preaching a New Age field of mysticism, I don't want you to take my word for it, but explore what I'm proposing in this article. My intention is to empower you with greater choice and freedom; particularly if this information is new to you. Neville repeatedly stated: "To change the state of mind, you change what you focus on and seek only to guide your thoughts and feelings in the direction of your desires and not on the evidence of your senses. This is what keeps us trapped." This is the basis to this article; not allowing your senses and reasons to dictate what is possible for you. 

    So, back to the problem I asked you about earlier. Chances are, you've been ruminating on the issue, using logic to solve it. Perhaps some of your efforts have worked, maybe others haven't. Hence, why I'm proposing an alternative way to overcome our problems by exploring a higher dimension. Again, Neville reminds us: "Once you feel and or believe your desire has already come true, it is instantly created in the fourth dimensional world and will come to you in time." To do this, we spend time throughout the day or before sleep, imagining what we want to create in place of our problems. We invoke the power of our imagination and use emotion, to bring to life a future possibility that yet exists. The key principle here is consistency. We must be consistent in our practice until our desires become reality. 

You Are A Powerful Creator: I realize this may sound unbelievable and it certainly took me a while to embrace. The proof lies in putting it to the test. Throughout my research of Neville Goddard's work, many have spoken of him as the originator of the Law of Attraction, well before it was popularized via the film, The Secret. But what does this mean to you, in so far as overcoming problems? It requires tapping into the power and field of the subconscious mind, to bring to life unseen realities. It is the notion of shape-shifting the future and directing it through our creative intelligence. Neville Goddard proposed that God or the universe is dreaming through us via our imagination. We don't actually attract anything because everything already exists, in an unseen dimension; we simply align our thoughts to bring it into existence. This is the premise of what many call The Holographic universe, which Elon Musk alluded to when he spoke of life being a simulation. 

    Other mystics have claimed that divinity seeks to express itself in form through mankind. I'm not asking you to embrace religion or a God outside of you. I'm simply inviting you to appreciate, you are a powerful creator with powers beyond your wildest dreams. Again, do your due diligence and don't take my word for it. Do the research, whether it be Neville Goddard or other New Thought teachers. Put it to practice, to see whether it works for you; this is the ultimate test. Neville used this premise with students who attended his lectures. He asked them to imagine themselves climbing a ladder for three nights and recite the words: "I will not climb a ladder." A strange thing occurred, many of the students unconsciously found themselves climbing a ladder within days of this experiment. There's a YouTube video, depicting a former student of Neville talking about his experience with this experiment. Neville would say: "Never accept anything as true and final unless it conforms to the ideal you desire to embody within your world." That is, nothing is final or fixed and things can change unexpectedly. This has been evident in 2020, with the Coronavirus where the entire world was impacted and lives uprooted. 

    The power of the human imagination is powerful and I urge you to explore these ideas further, if this information resonates with you. We mustn't allow what is taking place in our life, particularly unfavorable events, to dictate the course of our destiny. Nothing is final and nothing lasts forever because what we're experiencing is based on the accumulation of thoughts from the past. To change our future, we must rearrange our thoughts and visualize the future we wish to bring forth in our reality. After all, fate is merely the subjective influence of our thoughts, to create that which is yet unseen in the third dimension. Do you want to lead a remarkable life? Are you committed to taking action despite your fears and doubts?
