By Arlene
Friday, May 6th, 2011

By Richard G Harvey

The first step to practicing forgiveness is admitting that we are attached to vengeance. This means owning our feelings of anger and resentment, which often have their origins in the distant past. We must admit that we feel angry and then find out what it is that we are angry about before we can work on our attachment to revenge.

By Elaine Bailey

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” Napoleon Hill, Author, Think and Grow Rich.

Have you ever noticed that sometimes the last person to believe in you is… YOU?

Everyone else can see your potential shining out yet you can’t see it yourself? Instead self-doubt holds you back and you cling to old limiting beliefs. You’re waiting for that moment of FULL confidence and complete control of the situation before you will move towards it.

It doesn’t work that way…The feeling of confidence and being in control never shows up… So you wait and cling on and stay stuck in the same place. Read More→

It is also tragic to see the vast numbers of young women, and increasingly men, who are electing to have surgery in order to be more…..whatever it is that they are chasing- thinner, more beautiful, younger, bigger breasts, and so on.

The advertisers take no responsibility for the increase in eating disorders, bad debt, or suicides that occur in our society because we are essentially not happy in our own skin. Read More→

Gratitude is a state of mind that comes from really appreciating what you have already and being thankful for it. If you can truly look at your life and everything in it and be grateful, you are much more likely to be content, and to attract more of the same to yourself in the future.

If you are someone who has spent a long time being miserable, or envious, or sad, or grieving, or jealous, gratitude can be very difficult to find. Perhaps you grew up in a household filled with hatred, illness, bitterness or quarrels, and so your default position is far removed from grateful and content. When you have been conditioned to think that any of the above is normal, it can be very challenging to change your beliefs Read More→
