5 Differences Between Wishful Thinking and Intentional Action

By Arlene
Friday, December 3rd, 2010

By Matt Dierdorff

There is a reason that we speak of New Year’s Resolutions, or purchase books from the “self-help” shelf, or hire life coaches. We aren’t where we want to be. Yes, we may have contentment in some categories of our lives, but often we find certain segments of ourselves lacking. Whether it be what we find in the mirror, our wallet, or our soul, our life always seems to beckon us toward growth. We want “different” and “better”. But, if this desire is so universal and so predictable, why is it also not more potent? Why doesn’t mere “wanting” produce change and transformation?

1. Often we don’t know the “how” behind the change. We know where we are, and what we long for, but we seem to be without compass, map, or adequate orienteering skills. Read More→

Dream Weavers: How to Find and Create a Dream for Your Life When You Don’t Have One

By Arlene
Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

By Paula Matthews

Believe it or not, there are some people who don’t dream about their future. They aren’t trying to become superheroes and they aren’t trying to retrieve dead dreams, they just don’t dream at all. That part of their subconscious which is designed for revealing creative information during a resting state, has collapsed with negative thoughts and defeat; or worse yet, the subconscious has been totally suppressed. This can easily happen when all one meditates on during the day are his or her failures; or when one abuses his or her mind by filling up on entertainment that clogs the subconscious with other people’s dreams.

Let’s say that you have believed all the negative talk saying that you were good for nothing and will always be a loser; and rather than standing up and fighting, you took those negative words and replayed the tapes in your head until they consumed you. Now, you find yourself in the very place THEY said you’d be. Read More→

5 Steps to Find Your Life Purpose

By Arlene

By Stuart Baldwin

Life purpose is like the North Star it is not a destination, but a direction of travel. Real and lasting motivation comes from within when we take action in line with our North Star. Our life choices become significantly easier (both what to do and just as importantly what not to do) when we have a clear sense of purpose and direction.

The Chinese army has a punishment: they get soldiers who’ve done something bad to dig a big hole for several hours and then fill it back in again, because nothing is more soul destroying than work without purpose. The British army used to have a similar punishment, they would have soldiers dig all the coal out of the coal cellar and put it on the other side then white wash one of the walls and shovel all the coal down against that whitewashed wall because nothing is more soul destroying than work without purpose.

Are You Telling the Universe What You Want?

By Arlene
Thursday, September 16th, 2010

By Dale Reynolds

The way we word ideas is critical to using the Law of Attraction to manifest positive things! Often what we think we are saying is not what the Universe hears. For example, what is the difference between these two statements:

I can’t afford that right now.
I need to direct my money elsewhere right now.

Remember always that what you focus on expands. The Universe “fills the gap” to give you what you think about – good or bad! So the first sentence above implies that you don’t have money. Do you want more of that? The second sentence says you have money, and you spend it wisely. Much better!

3 Tips To Prevent You From Sabotaging Your Own Success

By Arlene
Saturday, September 11th, 2010

By John Anthony Murphy

Why is it that success can elude me? Why does this happen time and time again? Why is it that success seems to come easy to some, but never to me? Why is it never my turn to enjoy the excitement of achieving the goals?

I know all about setting goals – I do it all the time! I know that these goals need to be SMART – specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bounded! I know they need to be monitored. So there is nothing that I need to learn about goals and goal setting! Read More→
