The Correct Use of the Imagination

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” – Albert Einstein
The imagination is probably the most powerful tool that we have at our disposal. Everything that man has created was [...]

Handling Rejection with Style

“A rejection is nothing more than a necessary step in the pursuit of success.” – Bo Bennett
One of the major roadblocks to self-expression is the fear of rejection. People will go to their grave with the song still in them because of that fear. Wonderful opportunities have been lost and the quality of life has [...]

Creating a Winning Self-image

“The ‘’self-image” is the key to human personality and human behavior. Change the self image and you change the personality and the behavior.” – Dr. Maxwell Maltz
It would be almost impossible to overstate the importance of the self-image. It molded our personality, defined our character, and it directs our behavior. The self-image is the [...]

Live With Passion – Here’s How and Why

“Live every day as if it were your last, because one of these days, it will be.” – Jeremy Schwartz
Our little trip on Planet Earth is a one-time deal and it does not last forever. Depending on how we look at it, that may be a very somber thought or it could be a tremendous [...]

Designing and Building a Life v/s Survival Mode

The position that we are presently holding in life matters little. What is really important is how we feel about it. A person who has the right attitude but only has a penny left in his name is in better position than the man who is desperate because he only has a million dollars left. [...]

Our Internal Bank of References

We have a mechanism inside of our brain that analyses every one of our experiences, determines what it means and then stores the results in our bank of references. The process started while we were very young and has been going on ever since.
That is the process that allows us to perform automatically most of [...]

The Importance of a Life’s Purpose

“Great minds have purposes, little minds have wishes.” – Irving Washington
Every moment that we are awake, the little chatterbox in our mind is active. It’s a bit like a radio that cannot be shut off and, just like a radio; we have many different stations that we can tune in. Some of these stations [...]

Assimilating Self-improvement Technologies

Self-improvement is first and foremost a shedding process. It’s about getting rid disempowering beliefs. It about letting go of the negative past. It’s about erasing the scars of frustrations. It about getting rid of negative friends and acquaintances. It’s about erasing the slate of negativities and starting anew.
It may be hard to believe but most [...]

The Best of Tony Robbins – Life Changing Words

One of the greatest milestones in my life came about the day that I stumbled upon the following citation by Tony Robbins, “Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.”
When it is well understood and assimilated, this one sentence contains an entire philosophy. [...]

Change your Perceptions – Change your Life

As our Universe unfolds in front of our eyes, it creates the setting for a magnificent movie of which we are the Director and eventually the unique spectator. What we do with that movie will either be a film that we’ll enjoy, fear, admire or loathe. That film represents, “Our Reality.”
Being able to [...]

The Obsession to Win – A Component for Success

“A loser doesn’t know what he’ll do if he loses, but talks about what he’ll do if he wins, and a winner doesn’t talk about what he’ll do if he wins, but knows what he’ll do if he loses.” – Unknown
Success is the end result of multiple victories honorably won. For that reason, anyone [...]

Finding your Mission on Planet Earth

We were all conceived for a specific reason. We all have a role to play in the grand scheme of the Universe. It could even be said that we were divinely ordained to fulfill a specific mission. Those are scary words for some, self-evident statements for others and food for thoughts for everyone.
Our notion [...]

The Enemy Within

There is an African proverb that says, “When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.” That is very true in a metaphoric sense. Most of the time, we are our own worst enemy. That usually happens when passion supersedes reason.
We like to believe that we are creatures of reason, motivated by [...]

Failures – Stepping Stones or a Stumbling Blocks

“Today, though, I’ve come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.” – Tony Robbins
We are pretty well the result of past failures. Almost everything that we’ve learned is the result of failures. It started [...]

How to Get Real and Stay Positive

To be positive does not mean hiding the head in the sand and pretending that all is well when it’s not. If your shirt is on fire, it needs to be attended to. If you’re living off your credit cards, you are not in the land of plenty even if you’ve read The Secret and [...]

Feeling Good À la Carte

Feeling good is an art. It’s an art that can be learned, practiced and refined. We don’t need to wait for outside influences to make us feel good. It is possible to feel good most of the time and it’s also possible to feel good for no reason at all. For that though, we need [...]

How Achieve Self-improvement

Have you ever heard someone say, “I read a book on Positive Thinking once and it did not help me.” If that was not so sad, it would laughable. That’s like saying, “I skipped a meal once and I did not lose any weight.” It’s not what we do once that changes anything. Personal positive [...]

If You Don’t Take Control of your Life…

“In life you need either inspiration or desperation.” – Anthony Robbins
Your ship is sailing. Either you grab the elm and steer it where you want it to go or someone else will do it for you. We are all on a grand voyage called life. It can be a fantastic odyssey of epic proportion or [...]

Self-sabotage and Limiting Beliefs

“If you raise your standards but don’t really believe you can meet them, you’ve already sabotaged yourself. Our beliefs are like unquestioned commands, telling us how things are, what’s possible and what’s impossible. – Anthony Robbins
It is said that if we redistributed equally among the population all the money available in the world, in less [...]

Scanning the Brain for Virus and Malwares

Our computers are equipped with Anti-virus programs that will hopefully stop any malware from infecting our hardrive and affect the performance of our beloved PC. These programs are quite effective but, just to make sure that we have no bugs, we perform periodical scans.
Unfortunately, our brain is not equipped with any Anti-virus program and, everyday, [...]
