Be Hatched Or Go Bad!

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad...C. S. Lewis

What can you do today to improve your life forever?

The conscious mind is almost a dim-witted cousin of the subconscious mind. You might have the strongest desire to attain something, but as long as your subconscious holds a particular belief that is not aligned with that desire, nothing will ever happen to manifest the desire. This is the single most important fact you have to understand. You set your goals with your conscious mind and you reach them with your subconscious mind.

What is your ultimate calling?

What work I have done I have done because it has been play. If it had been work I shouldn’t have done it. Who was it who said, "Blessed is the man who has found his work"? Whoever it was he had the right idea in his mind. Mark you, he says his work - not somebody else’s work. The work that is really a man’s own work is play and not work at all. Cursed is the man who has found some other man’s work and cannot lose it. When we talk about the great workers of the world we really mean the great players of the world. The fellows who groan and sweat under the weary load of toil that they bear never can hope to do anything great. How can they when their souls are in a ferment of revolt against the employment of their hands and brains? The product of slavery, intellectual or physical, can never be great...Mark Twain

Is your work like play to you, or a burden each day?

Studying and modeling the most successful leaders and teachers in the world can allow for dramatic improvement in your quality of life. Listen to this free interview with Dr. Wayne Dyer, titled What is Your Ultimate Calling?

A Day Of Your Life

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something...almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose...Steve Jobs

If today were the last day of your life, would you want to do what you are about to do today?

The Triumph Of High Achievement

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly... Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat... Ted Roosevelt

Happy faces heal. So, will you dare to be different?

The way you talk about yourself and your life — your story — has a great deal to do with what shows up in your day-to-day experience. Your thoughts create filters through which you view your life. If you think of yourself as a Victim, you filter all that happens to you through the lens of DDT, and you find plenty of evidence to support that viewpoint. That’s why the orientation you adopt is so important: it exerts a powerful influence on your life direction...David Emerald

How could you be more super conscious of your self-talk and personal beliefs?

Here's a little something to help shift the mind-set on a moment-by-moment basis. My friend Elan Sun Star has just finished his wonderful new book Smile! Every time you smile, you’re indeed planting a seed in the soil of the human heart.

Thriving Together

The Work is merely four questions; it’s not even a thing. It has no motive, no strings. It’s nothing without your answers. These four questions will join any program you’ve got ad enhance it. Any religion you have—they’ll enhance it. If you have no religion, they will bring you joy. And they’ll burn up anything that isn’t true for you. They’ll burn through to the reality that has always been waiting...Byron Katie

Who would you be without your story?

I congratulate Patricia on the amazing forward steps she has taken for herself, and now shares with you.

New Ideas

I said to myself, I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me - so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down. I decided to start anew, to strip away what I had been taught...Georgia O'Keeffe
