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. And everyone’s pet peeve:  feeling that the waiter’s ignoring you. If you suffer from this it means, people don’t respect you. There’s a way to change all that in a flash.

Flashback 2001. While I didn’t look as bouncy as Mr. Canine here, I certainly felt just as  bloated as he looked.  The reason? I was about 10 pounds overweight. My dietician blamed a slow metabolism. I simply blamed Ronald McDonald for setting up shop next door.

I felt lousy when guys in muscle shirts strode past. Here I was, clad in flashy Prada but my physique made me sag like a duck next to these lean dudes in tattered Levis. Something had to be done. So I did what every fat slob was doing: popped the Hydroxycut, did the Atkins and hit the iron. It didn’t work. (more…)

Feeling down in the dumps? Sometimes, your brain chemicals plummet to the point that no matter what you do, you can’t shake the blues. Before you reach for the pills, step outside. The sun gave Superman his powers- it can do the same for you in seconds. (more…)

“Im too young!”

“I’m too old!”

I hear that excuse a hundred times a month when someone’s faced with a seemingly indomitable endeavor. That leaves me wondering… what precisely about age hinders you from getting what you want? It’s just a darned number after all! (more…)

Yep.  Google sent me $1707 for the month of December 2007.  It’s for the Adsense Program in the name of one of my affiliated companies… and get this: the cheque’s for a four month old site!

 Here’s proof:

(Had to block out the specific details or Google’s gonna lock my account)

Okay, let’s get one thing straight: it’s no biggie for master bloggers like Armand Morin, Shoemoney.com, Problogger, Connectedinternet.co.uk. These fellas rake it in to the tune of ten grand a month. So what makes my check special?

It’s literally because I used Magic to get it.  Want to know the secret? (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…)

NLP Chunking

Have you ever:

Been stuck in a negotiation or argument and not been able to find common areas of agreement?
Needed to quickly and easily think laterally?
Felt overwhelmed with an activity?
Wanted to get something done, but did not feel excited about it?
Chunking can help you get past these obstacles.

What is Chunking?

In NLP, ‘chunking up’ refers to moving to more general or abstract pieces of information. While ‘chunking down’ means moving to more specific or detailed information.

To chunk up on a piece of information, use one or more of the following questions:

What is this an example of?
What is this a part of?
What is the intention?
For what purpose?

Know what holds most people from true success? It’s coz they live a life of Somedays….

Do these musings sound familiar?

“Someday, I’ll be rich…”
“Someday, I’ll find the right one…”
“Someday, I’ll start that business…”

Geez! If you think like that, Someday will never happen. You’ll push ‘it’ so far into the future that you’ll be dead before anything happens.

There’s just one way out. Next time you say “Someday”, replace it with “TODAY. ”

Then magic will really begin.

(Ever thought of ruling the world?)

You are a perfect creature, capable of being, doing and achieving anything that you can imagine. You are the creator of your perfect reality and the foundation of this creative paradise is the Law of Attraction. There are no obstructions nor limitations as to what you are capable of, so why is it we often short-circuit ourselves and our full potential?

As we observe the universe around us, you may behold lots of fear, anxiety and helplessness. Whether your personal struggle is monetary, emotional, physical or social, there are a lot of folks struggling with something or the other. If you aren’t, then you’ve ascended humanity! (more…)

Success Tip: Alter Your Perceptions To Reduce Stress Levels

Your life each day can be viewed as a stream of connected events - some positive and some not so positive. The not-so-positive or negative events can cause great stress, but they have only the stress-producing power over you that you assign to them. Separate your perceptions, opinions, and value judgments of a negative event from the event. Affirm to yourself, “It’s just an event” and you will avoid triggering stress reactions.

Because time proceeds in one direction only, you do not have the power or the option to change the outcome of an event. But you have total power to choose how or whether you will respond or react to the event, thereby influencing succeeding events and outcomes. It is likely that, because of different beliefs, values, and opinions, four people who see exactly the same event will relate and react to it totally differently. But beliefs, values, and opinions are always in the mind, not in the event. Use that knowledge to separate your emotions from the events that occur in your life. (more…)
