An understanding of this guiding mechanism is essential for anyone who wants mastery over his own life. Albert Einstein said, [...]

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 [...]

If it matters, put it down on paper… The best way to grow is by translating our thoughts into written the words. We tend to think in wordless notions, abstract concepts and images. Most of our thoughts are vague and ephemeral. If a conscious effort is not made to put some order in our thinking [...]

Life never stands still. It is either on the upward trajectory of growth or on the declining path of impending extinction. As humans, it leaves us with two options; we can let nature and outside circumstances follow their natural course or we can pursue the quest for personal growth and self-actualization.

The mind can be compared to a muscle. With exercise they grow and when unused they atrophy. A muscle grows when it fights against resistance and so does the brain.

One of the problem with the human mind is that it finds it very hard to grasp extremes. A very simple truth is just as hard to be accepted as a bold faced lie. So, if we want to accept a simple truth, what we have to do is complicate it enough so that we [...]

One of the most widely accepted misconception about people is that we are creature of logic. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Who you are speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you’re saying.” The man was right. The words that we use matter little, the message that we convey starts and ends with whatever is in the heart. When it comes to communicating, the heart will always prevail over the brain. With [...]

Reading a Personal Development book and doing it in a way that will contribute to our life is not an easy task. It requires time, effort and dedication. We don’t read such a book to see what’s in it. We read it in an effort to change who we are, change the distinctions that we [...]

Without respect, the law of the jungle predominate. Lack of [...]
