Time For A Belief System Revolution?

Written by Linda Paull

You know, one of the things I love about living in Turkey is the crazy beliefs and superstitions people have. Superstitions in this part of the world range from ordinary old wives tales to some really bizaare stuff and actually pay homage to the regions rich cultural history. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Anatolian history, the first Anatolians were a nomadic shamanistic culture, much like the American Indians or Australian aboriginals. It follows then that these people had some very strong magic traditions and their belief system was based on this.

There are also the beliefs and superstitions which were influenced by Greek and pagan mythology and others, such as the belief in djinns, which were taken from Islam itself.....Read more »

The Power of Spiritual Practice

Written by Jayne Morris

Do you find yourself saying that you would like to try meditation, take a yoga class, go for a walk after lunch, but that you’re just too busy? The most common block to having a spiritual practice is busy-ness. We women who do too much try multitasking so many things each day that we end up prioritising, consciously or subconsciously, all of them as being more important than ourselves. We put our to do lists before any time devoted to making contact with the place within us that is true and real. But, when we finally take time out to connect with our inner guidance, we enter into the bliss of unlimited unconditional love, peace and creativity, which infinitely improves our experience of the world and we once again begin to remember how wonderful we really are. When we remember this truth about ourselves we instantaneously remember this truth about everyone else too. We experience a sense of connection with everything and everyone. We remember we are all one. We realign with our purpose to serve others by more fully celebrating ourselves.....Read more »

The Language of Confidence

Written by Alan Cox

The language we use programs our brains. Mastering our language gives us a great degree of mastery over our lives and our destinies. It is important to use language in the best way possible in order to dramatically improve your quality of life.

Even the smallest of words can have the deepest effect on our sub-conscious mind. It is like a child, it doesn’t really understand the difference between what really happens and what you imagine. It is eager to please and willing to carry out any commands that you give it – whether you do this knowingly or not is entirely up to you.

“Try”....Read more »

Why Desire is the Basis of Achieving All Your Goals

Written by Shefiu Francis

All of the great achievers throughout history have one thing in common. They have all been dreamers or desirers. If anyone is to achieve their goals in life then the first thing they need to do is establish what their desires are. That’s what makes people who are highly successful different from the rest – they know exactly what they want in life.

Simply wishing for success is insufficient. If anyone is to make any steps towards their definite objectives then they need to have a determined attitude, bordering on obsession, to fulfil that desire. It does not matter what your desire is. It may be a desire to excel in business, it could be a desire to learn a new skill, or it could involve a desire to change aspects of your personal life.....Read more »

Sharpen Your Mind, Stay Active, Live Your Life Your Way!

Written by Gary Grossman

Many years ago, I learned: “A mind is a terrible thing to waste!” I refuse to waste mine. On December 25, 2007, I turned 60. I have just begun to actively live and enjoy the rest of my life. In this article, I will share some important discoveries about what you need to do to live the successful active life that you deserve.

I have learned that we have few guarantees in life. The most important guarantee is that we have Choice. Choice about how we participate in our life. We can react well or poorly, with a smile and optimism or with anger and pessimism. We all are guaranteed 24 hours per day. No one gets more; no one gets less. We cannot stop the clock. Aging well is within our grasp, aging isn’t!

“…..there’s one diabolical factor that does more to kill achievement, smother success, cripple happiness and castrate prosperity- than anything else you can imagine. That dastardly culprit is poor health.”

-- T. Harv Eker

10 Simple Ways to Massively Improve Your Memory

Author Unknown

Did you know that people compete every year to win the U.S. Memory Championship? To attain the rank of grand master of memory, you must be able to memorize 1,000 digits in under an hour, the exact order of 10 shuffled decks of playing cards in under an hour, and one shuffled deck in less than two minutes.

To this day, there are only 36 grand masters of memory in the world.

And while you may not be interested in memorizing digits and playing cards, I’m sure all of us would like to increase our mental brain power. Whether you want to quickly memorize the periodic table, learn a new language, recite the names of each president forwards and backwards, or cut down on your studying time, the following memory techniques will help you do it.

The brain wasn’t designed to remember abstract symbols like numbers and miscellaneous facts. However, if you can translate those symbols into vivid visual images and associations, even the dullest list of dates can become as memorable as your own telephone number. The key is to develop a system that allows for quick encoding and easy recall.....Read more »

5 Questions to Help You Make Better Decisions Right Now

Written by Steve Martile

"Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide."
~ Napoleon Bonaparte

You know what I’ve found to be one of the biggest obstacles to achievement, progress and real success? The ability to decide. And not a half-ass decision, but a real committed decision where you commit to something and then go and do it.

When I decided to leave my full time job in 2008 to pursue a full time career as a coach, it was one of the most gut-wrenching decisions I've ever made. It was a difficult decision and maybe the craziest decision I've made ever - at least that's what my parents, my family and most of my good friends were telling me.

They thought I was nuts. To leave a really good-paying job to go and chase some dream to become a successful entrepreneur was insanity.

It turns out it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I absolutely love what I do and I’m having a blast doing it.....Read more »

Self Motivation : Building The Techniques

Written by Fadzil Dolmani

Fear and reward are two most commonly used methods to build motivation in someone. But, these methods are temporary. The only lasting thing is self motivation. Motivation actually is the enthusiasm of doing something. It refers to inner feeling, strong desires, and expectation about something. You may sometimes loose the necessary level of the inner drive to get something done. Self motivation is what you need to boost the level of your inner drive to achieve your goals.

Self motivation is a form of self encouragement. You will say to yourself that you have the capacity to do better and eventually get whatever you want in your life. This inner enthusiasm will push you forward until you achieve your set goals. You may not even be aware of any reward in the beginning but you keep working on it. You work on it because your inner strength says that you can attain your goals. This is your will power - the driving force behind your self motivation. Self motivation is a combination of will power, goals and ability to continue attaining the highest level of your success.....Read more »

Outrageous Fortune - an Action Guide

"Great things are only possible with outrageous requests."
- Thea Alexander, psychologist

Is it your ambition to be just one of the crowd? Do you hunger to blend in and be un-noticed by the world? Perhaps your notion of the ideal life style is anonymity - and having just enough to get by.

If so, this lesson is not for you... stop reading now.

Because if you don't stop, you'll be presented with provocative new doors that may frighten you. And you'll read about ways to blast through those doors and be VERY noticed by the world around you. So stop, I say. Stop now.

On the other hand, if you're still with me, I'll assume you want more for yourself:

  • a richer, more satisfying life;

  • thundering success;
  • massive acclaim...

… even if you haven't a clue yet how it's to happen.

Still reading? Okay, I warned you. Get a pencil and paper. You'll be needing them.....Read more »
