ARTArticleLeadership Must Balance Dynamic And Static GrowthLeadership needs the balance between the static of what works vs. dynamic creative growth. This is not a division between conservative or low-risk-takers compared to risk-takers or recklessness. It is the decision between choosing what must be kept in place - the static - and what must be pushed forward - the dynamic.rARTArticleLearn to Be Clutter-FreeBeing clutter-free is more than getting rid of things you don’t need or use. It’s more than cleaning off a counter, emptying the garage or paring down your collections. Being clutter-free also means a change in life-style—for the better.
How will you benefit by getting rid of clutter? You will gain more time for yourself because you won’t be maintaining your property. You will have more money because you won’t be paying for extra storage, and because your buying habits will change once you realize the benefits of having a clutter-free home.ARTArticleLet Friday The 13th Be A Good Day!Let Friday The 13th Be A Good Day! @ 1,680 words
Yesterday was Friday the 13th and I am proud to say that it was a good day for me and I sincerely hope that it was a good day for you as well.
It got me to thinking and I thought I'd write a little article because when I talked to a Borders bookstore manager to see about carrying my book of love poems, Dawn's Kiss, I reminded him that today was Friday 13th. "That could account for a lot of things," he replied.ARTArticleLet Us Dare To DreamLet Us Dare To Dream
Namaste! Let us stop and breathe in the sweet fragrances and beauty that Mother Nature so freely offers each of us and express our gratitude. Nature’s bounteous, colorful cornucopia reminds us that it is time to dream bigger. It is time to have our soul aroused, our magic awakened, and for our hopes to see the light of day. It is time to dare to dream because Dreams truly do come true.
May we never forget that there was a time when our life was magical, abundant, and blissful. We were light of body and spirit and there was nothing that we could not manifest.ARTArticleLife Is A Series of ChoicesFortune cookies are true…so I now believe. Two days before our Friday December 2008 wedding, Korrel (now my wife) ate at a Chinese restaurant, where she received a fortune cookie that read: "A lifetime of happiness lies ahead of you." The next day, on Thursday, she went out for Chinese again and her fortune cookie read: “The coming Friday will be an exciting time for you." Was this a coincidence or was a specific message brought by the Universe to my lovely bride-to-be?ARTArticleMeditation Holds The True Key To SuccessThere is a famous saying that goes like, “To understand the immeasurable, the mind must be extraordinarily still”.

Meditation And Success- The RelationARTArticleMerging With A Rock And A Battle On Another PlaneAround the time when I met Steven Grant who hypnotized me as detailed near the end of this book in the chapter 'A Journey Back To The Early Beginnings', I met another young man through a mutual friend, let's call him Robert, that I did some energy work with. He was interested in healing and various forms of energy work. He said that he had always been able to affect people with his energy and he could help to open them up to realms far beyond this one. Naturally I was fascinated and was eager to see what might happen so I invited him over.ARTArticleMinimizing Holiday StressMinimizing Holiday Stress
While the holidays are supposed to be a joyous time spent with our most loved family and friends, it also comes with extra stress. We find ourselves in the midst of shopping for that perfect gift, planning parties, attending parties, cooking, baking, attending company functions, working extra hours to fill in for those taking holiday vacations, worrying about finances, especially during this tough economic time and keeping up with the regular day to day responsibilities. We quickly find ourselves on complete overload.ARTArticleNarcissistic Mothers and Their ChildrenInterview granted to Samantha Cleaver for YourTango.com
Q. What are some common ways that a mother's narcissism can affect her daughter's relationships?
A. Depends on how narcissistic the mother is. Narcissistic parents fail to recognize and accept the personal autonomy and boundaries of their offspring. They treat them as instruments of gratification or extensions of themselves.ARTArticleNeed Stress Relief – Do This Not ThatSam was driving home from work. The same old tapes were playing in his head. How much he hated his job, how overworked he was, and how he couldn’t stand this commute one more day. Traffic started to back up and Sam could feel his blood start to boil. “I can’t believe I have to do this every single day. I have wasted 10 years of my life sitting in this traffic. I hate my life!”rARTArticleNot a Writer? Not a Problem. You Can Make Money Blogging!Content, content, content. Content makes the web go round.

Well, obviously, that's true, right? I mean, no one has a 100% sales record. Because even though you have taken all the top-notch sales training courses and the best sales presentation training, your potential customers haven't. So all your sales tips and techniques won't work on someone who simply doesn't want to buy.ARTArticleOn LoveThis word is as misunderstood by people as is the purpose for life itself. People chase after Love incessantly as though it were a commodity one could possess. The moment you think you have grasped Love, she evades you, leaving your soul filled with emptiness and longing. Like the wind, Love cannot be seen nor possessed. To understand her you must penetrate the innermost depths of the heart then be willing to patiently wait for her to reveal herself.
You must prove yourself worthy and purify your thoughts and actions before Love will unmask herself.ARTArticleOne More Essential Tool For Preventing Relapse in Early Addiction RecoveryMost non-addicted people have routines and organizing structures inrntheir lives that help provide stability. An addict's lifestyle is often one of chaotic instability and disorganization. A general lack of structure and routine
contributes to this disorganization and chaos. An addicted lifestyle is often missing daily routines of fulfilling personal and family responsibilities, engaging in predictable and consistent eating and sleeping habits, and appropriate self care. These missing elements are self-reinforcing in addiction.ARTArticleONLINE MINDFULNESS MEDITATION THERAPY FOR OVERCOMING STRESS & ANXIETYThe single major cause of emotional suffering and stress in our lives comes from the accumulated habitual emotional reactions to life events that we acquire through unconscious learning. We become victims of recurrent negative thoughts and patterns of emotional reactivity that operate automatically in the mind, and that operate outside the sphere of conscious choice. We become prisoners of our habitual thinking and suffer accordingly.ARTArticleOnly The Risk Takers Are FreeONLY THE RISK TAKERS ARE FREE 1,650 words
We can never get anywhere in life if we do not become risk takers. There is simply no way around it. We've all heard the axiom 'nothing ventured, nothing gained. This is another way of saying that we must become risk takers if we want to journey the path of success. One of my favorite books says that 'to get to the fruit you have to go out on a limb.' That about sums up the need to become a risk taker, and a daring one at that, let me add.
The good news is that we are in good company.ARTArticleOpen Up to Your IntuitionDefinition: voice of your spirit and to our spiritual guidance. It is your navigational system to guide you through your life.

We may even do things that we disagree with, just to be sure that people like us. We talk about this happening with children, but, unfortunately, this is usually something that we do not grow out of.
Why is it so important that people like us? Well, it feels good! It does not feel good when people do not like us. While there are some people that do seem to thrive on getting people all agitated at them, Simon Cowell comes to mind; most of us are uncomfortable with this.ARTArticlePast Life Regression May Be the Key to Understanding Present Life RelationshipsYou may be living with someone you have lived with in a previous lifetime. Souls are drawn back together for many reasons. It could be a strong emotional connection or a Karmic debt that draws the two souls back together.

It can be valuable to explore past life connections in order to appreciate and enrich present life relationships.ARTArticlePlugging Away For Our Dream FulfillmentIf we put in the sacred labor, there comes a time when we really begin to get in the flow when it comes to manifesting our dreams. This is when things begin to really get exciting. For many of us, getting to this point can take a long time. I know all about that from experience. It's easy for an aspiring writer to say I want to write the all American novel. Actually from what I've heard people tend to say something like "some day I'd like to write the all American novel." That is a very weak statement, totally lacking devotion, true sincerity or intention.ARTArticlePractice the Act of Gratitude and Say Goodbye to StressGratitude- a word often used but seldom adhered to. How many times have we actually taken the time to feel grateful about something? We often say that good things happen to other people, but why don’t we realize that at time we are the ‘other’ person for a lot of people out there.
When you feel grateful, you feel content, which in turn makes you feel happier. And it is this consistent feeling of happiness that helps to reduce and in due time, thoroughly remove the proneness to stress and anxiety.ARTArticleProvoked to React? How to Deal With Negative Provocation in Yourself and Others"Provocative" can mean many different things to different people. What I'm going to address in this article are those people who use negative provocation as a neurotic defense against their own feelings of rejection and alienation. Let me start by saying that both of my parents were somewhat provocative. They could say things that would get a reaction out of me. I loved them deeply. But, there were times when they would say things that would literally push me away and cause a negative reaction. Fortunately, in my family, provocation was not a pervasive pattern that led to extreme disorder.ARTArticleRecently Sober?

There is very strong scientific evidence that recovered memories exist.[2] This has been shown in many scientific studies.ARTArticleRethinking AbundanceWhat is Abundance?
Maybe we need to rethink abundance. I lived my first nine years in England, from 1944 to 1953. In all those years we were under rationing. Food was doled out frugally, to the point that my sister and I suffered from malnutrition. Automobiles were scarce, we never got a television or a refrigerator, yet we had all we needed for life, and it felt just fine. When we came to the United States we entered a world of an abundance of goods, services, infinite landscapes, a seeming inexhaustible supply of wonderful things.ARTArticleReversing Heart Disease Through DietMost people with coronary heart disease have a checkered history with food.
