The domino effect...

In-between the mind needs some breaks from everything and everybody...Sometimes you need to be alone in order to reflect on life...Take out some time for yourself…You will feel better...You deserve it...

We are human beings, not human doings…Relax...you are enough...you have enough...you do enough...The precept of perfectionism is no one or nothing will ever be good enough...not you, your partner, your job, your home...People are not perfect; people make mistakes...reject the big bluff...true change is within...

The domino effect...regrets and resolutions...The cosmic drama of life...what's done is done...what's gone is gone..the art is to decide what you will do with the memories of your decisions...

Things change, feelings change, people change and time keeps rolling...the only thing constant is change...so be good at change...

Have you ever wondered why things happen the way they do in your life? Most people only know how to define what they want by what they already have and what they don't have, by what they want to fix or get rid of, by what they want to keep or increase...In your efforts to not miss anything, you may be missing everything...Identify why the patterns exist. Philosopher George Santayana said: Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. This applies to our own lives. Learning why we do the things we do enables us to change our behavior...

Who are you? Do you know the answer? The moment you start to work on yourself, you adopt the identity of the you that needs to be worked on...You don’t get to wholeness by denying your wholeness but by accepting it…If you want to live your life rather than the life chosen for you by others, you must draw your dreams from inside yourself….It may take several attempts before you find the niche that suits the real you…Then you discover that getting there was all the fun…Everything in life is a choice, but the true essence of choice is commonly misunderstood. People spend more time choosing what they are going to wear in the morning than they do choosing how they are going to connect with people, how they will feel, or what they will accomplish…

How good are you? What good do you do? Are you "good enough" yet? Have you done enough? Where do your responsibilities end? Learn the truth about yourself...The Inner Game...it is one game...the game of self-knowledge, growth, and discovery...It's how to grow and perform...The mere presence of negative people sucks the oxygen right out of a room. These people are black holes whose gravity is so dense that no light can escape. They live in a constant state of denial that prevents them from seeing their destructive behavior. Don't listen to other people's negative or pessimistic attitudes. Don't let others take away your dreams and wishes...You need to recognize and understand your own personal evidences when you see them. Look at the world through your own eyes. Don't get your information filtered through the eyes of others...You control how much and when you should share what's on your mind...doing so in a positive way is essential to good communication. Learn to say when enough is enough, and stick to your gtms...

Psychologists have amply documented that we are under considerable illusion as we pursue happiness, presumably in part because of self-deception. They suggest that much self-deception is healthy because it helps us cope…It remains true that self-deception is the friend of happiness within wide limits, insofar as it promotes both enjoyment and a sense of meaning. Self-deception, like happiness, is morally complex, and often for the same reasons...Happiness is a powerful motive, and what makes us happy reveals what we value and hence who we are. So does what we deceive ourselves about. Exploring self-deception in the pursuit of happiness can be doubly illuminating and doubly confusing. There is reason why both self-deception and the pursuit of happiness are both frequently discussed in terms of paradox…The fact is that happiness is a state of being. It is something you are. Therefore, you can't find happiness outside you. As you change your unsustainable ways, life will change along with you and you will find peace and happiness. Take time out to meditate on what is most important to you, what you are truly passionate about, and the knowledge niche that you and you alone can occupy to add value to the lives of others. Once you find this niche, globalization will become a blessing that pushes you to let go of what others will gladly do and to discover how to integrate what you truly love into your life...

Neuroscience may be the key to lead more effectively and unleash your power... Use your mind to change your brain...Utilize scientific spirituality...Mature Spirituality...Cultivate your inner beauty... Energize Your Life...Whole brain workout. Neuroplasticity: harness your brain power...It's never too late to change your brain and improve your mind...Stop tolerating what you know you need to change and making excuses for why you can't...Stop complaining...either make changes or admit you don't want to, and be happy...You control what you choose to think and feel...You are what you choose...Nothing happens without personal transformation...Intrinsic strength is the key to resilience...the hard way...perhaps there is no other way to learn it...experience is the essence of learning, and the more stringent the experience, the more valuable the lesson...No pain, no gain...Pain paradox: choose to change directly into the storm, rather than try to run away from it...Step up in life...Move out of your comfort zone...It's a risk, but do it anyway...think big and start small...The business of life can change in an instant...Cause and effect...get your power back...shift from being the effect to being the cause...Spiritual intelligence...emotional energy...emotional health...self-control...self-discipline...Act like a buffalo, not a cow...

If you want to be a failure, do nothing. Do what is easy and what doesn't challenge you. Never stand up for what’s right; go with the crowd; blend in to fit in and be accepted; don’t say what you really think, only say what people want to hear. Do this and you’ll be a successful failure...When you want something bad enough, you fight for it. When you love someone enough, you fight to protect him or her. When you know it’s the right thing to do, you fight for the cause. As you exercise your will power, you strengthen the ability to make a choice. Will power is what you use to become you. All you are today is the result of your exercised will power. As Paulo Coelho outlined, there is suffering in life, and defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for...For every action there is a reaction...Perhaps you are messing up your life by making stupid decisions and doing stupid things. It is time to bring this stupidity out in the open, address it, and deal with the stupid things you do, figure out why you do them, and learn how you can stop doing them...Start having what you want...Take action before it’s too late...Success is simple but never easy. It’s hard but not complicated. Just decide to do whatever it takes to make it happen...Mental Stamina...Law of Attr-Action...You don't attract what you think about. You attract what you do about it. The key is action. And when you take action, you must give your best to attract the best...When you step up for more, not settle for less, you'll attract superior results...To leave a legacy, ask: Who and what matters to me? What do I stand for? Who do I include and exclude? What must I do today to create a better tomorrow? Discover your stand and take it. What are your commitments in life? What do you ache for in life? How are you being when you're in your zone? Are you taking your stand in your roles? How risky is it to take your stand at work? How do your addictions hinder you from finding and taking your stand and creating connected leadership? If you are feeling flat and wish you had the passion and energy of times gone by, consider doing different things or the same things differently...shift perspective and live more fully...

We’re all searching for something. Some are looking for tangible assets, such as material wealth. Others are pursuing more delicate matters, like meaningful work, happiness, satisfaction, or peace of mind. And it seems as if finding what we search for has become harder. I invite you to step back and seriously think about your eternal searches. You will realize that you find the most important things you wish when you stop searching...The more anxiously you look for something, the harder it seems to achieve, perhaps because you become impatient and decide to settle for less if what you want does not happen soon enough. Soon you become dissatisfied, realize your mistake, feel trapped in your choice, and start searching again. Yet, once you finally decide to stop searching, you distance yourself from your desire, and you achieve peace of mind. If you detach yourself from the desires that incite you, there’s little that can disrupt your inner balance. When you stop searching, you don’t feel pressure to find what you initially desired…The rarest of the rare are those few people who give rise to the desire for freedom...the willingness to take a stand exactly where you are, in the middle of the mind stream...You are stronger and more resilient than you think you are...Mature spiritual practice must expose the rigid nature of the personal ego, presenting us with the limits of our willingness to be fully human...

Once you start taking responsibility for your life, you start achieving as you've never achieved before. If you want to progress, stop blaming others for your problems. Until you stop convincing yourself that you are a victim, you will remain in a backwards-focus, finger-pointing mode that spells failure. Get in tune with who you are, what you stand for, what you want from life, and what you give to life. Such introspection takes you to a higher plane and helps you to re-frame yourself in the wake of the changes all around you...There is no glass ceiling, only the ceiling you put on yourself. Use the power of No to get your priorities straight. You’ll be relieved. Learn to say No! No to things that just don’t fit with who you are and what you want to do in this life. No to things that aren't important to you. No to things that take up too much of your time with little mental, spiritual or physical reward; and No to all things that you just don’t feel right taking on...When you get out of balance, take time to stop and re-evaluate. Be high on life. Keep cool. Even in a crisis...Sure, it is easier to feel peaceful when everything is going well, but you can choose peace even when things don't go your way. The challenge for all of us is to find peace even amid the challenges of life. Whatever happens in your life, give peace a chance...

Even the best-laid plans seldom go off without a hitch. Still, life can be great if you savor perfect moments when they come and seek loving feelings toward friends and families. Embrace unconditional love as often as possible. When you become polluted with anxiety and sorrow, you disconnect from the exquisite beauty around you. Focus on loving feelings, and peace will lead you to joyful places...You are born to flourish and live a life free of drama, disease, and deprivation...a life full of love, passion, abundance, and fulfillment. If your life does not reflect these things today, you can still choose this reality. If you don't want what is now on your plate, order something new! What kind of banquet are you throwing for others with your life? What does your life party look like? Stop and check with yourself if the banquet you are throwing, right now, is the kind of banquet you want to have. Every day we get a chance to throw another banquet. Can you be your own banquet? How do you bring joy to others by simply being in the world?

As life grows in complexity, the definition of fear takes on new meaning: False Evidence Appearing Real...Always look for your BATNA...your Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement ...Life is hall of distractions and giving into the chatter can mean the end of your aim. It takes a will of steel to reengage…We are all differently abled or handicapped in different ways. So, exercise your hope and your faith in the future. Do and be all you can. You will find that your best is good enough when you take life one day, one performance at a time...You may need to go away and prepare yourself to meet it again...Self-Transformation...achieve your own extreme make over...moral choices...a lot is riding on you...sins of omission...make a difference...Log your ideas...Become a mental athlete...The art of life...Master the Tao in your life...ANTS (Automatic Negative Thought Syndrome) vs. FIDO Philosophy (Forget It and Drive On). You can’t create what you want with negative memories hanging over your head...Remind yourself every day to love life. Every day is a gift for any of us. And if you’re not loving that gift, you’re your own worst enemy. You have little control over how your life unfolds; the unpredictable happens and suddenly you’re on a course you never guessed lay ahead. That does not mean you can’t live a fulfilling life and continue to do what you were put here to do…Victim or Creator? Do you lie down or step up? Nothing is permanent...Have the bumble bee attitude and just fly anyway...break out....Mood Elevator...Stop the emotional vampires...Unlearn and then dream...your life...It’s what you make it...The biological foundations of our consciousness persist, undisguised and undiminished. Our sensations are here to attract us or to deter us, our memories to warn or encourage us, our feelings to impel, and our thoughts to restrain our behavior, so that on the whole we may prosper...The lessons are not always happy ones, but they keep coming...Bad things happen...Prepare yourself to handle them...Be the change and allow change to be...Work without regrets...Regrets are lost courage...You don't have to have it all figured out to move forward... Don’t be trapped by dogma...nothing will bring you peace but yourself...Release the walls around your heart...Seize the day to be strong, to grow in character. Rise above the fray and lead the way…

Figure out where you’re going and why...you may delay but time will not...

It is time to reinvent ourselves massively...

“Whenever the writer writes, it’s always three o’clock in the morning, it’s always three or four or five o’ clock in the morning in her head...Those horrid hours are the writer’s days and nights when she is writing...Writing is more than a gift...It is a struggle that blesses those who see it through to the end...”
