When people sniff blood, they dig. And they dig deep. Check out this this conversation between a statistician and a company PR guy: (more…)

Powerful people command invincible self-belief and little can strip them of their self-worth. They bounce back again and again. Would you like to feel like this? You wield all that it takes to seize what you want and to coast the triumphs and tribulations that life throws at you. Few enjoy a smooth ride- but imagine how you will feel  if you shortchange yourself by refusing to give opportunities a try?

Want to believe in yourself? (more…)

There are numerous avenues to effecting self-hypnosis and hypnosis on others. It is vital to identify  the vast significance of deploying post hypnotic suggestions. So you become cognizant of how potent they and how critical they are in your practices.

A post hypnotic suggestion is a directive that incites  action when a specific behavior, or trigger, is activated. The actual post hypnotic suggestion is of something that will take place in the future regardless of whether or not the hypnotist is present. (more…)

It can be annoying to walk into a store and have the clerk serve you last. Or to walk into an elevator and have people bump into you like you were a ghost.

Being nice is nice. It gives you a warm glow inside helping out your fellow man. Sometimes, however, you feel that you’re too nice.

How do you know what moment to assert yourself?

That may sounds like Zen weirdness but for me, it’s actually an unbeatable way to win a debate. You see, the moment you agree with someone, you take away their resolve to fight. Argumentative folks thrive on resistance. Take away resistance and you take away the fight. Easily. (more…)

My cousin has a desk with stuff that literally blocks his view. It’s full of procrastinated paperwork. He says “I’ll do it tommorow” each time we meet. Then a few days ago he had a relapse from anxiety and stress from the backlog. Poor fella. He doesn’t know the secret to getting things done asap. (more…)

Jesus Christ was the ultimate self-help guru. He may not have worn the flashiest robe nor ridden a high horsepower donkey, but he did amazing things. Who else in man’s history healed the blind, turned water into wine, and gave us the Golden Rule which revolutionized the way we treat each other.  Remember that sublime piece of wisdom, so utterly beautiful in it’s simplicity? The Golden Rule exhorted:

Do Unto Others As You Would Have Others Do Unto You.

It works well… most of the time. (more…)

Have you ever:

Been stuck in a negotiation or argument and not been able to find common areas of agreement?
