ARTArticleFeast Your Senses This ChristmasAs Christmas rolls around, the city of Singapore has turned into a kaleidoscope of colour, sounds of carols and feelings of relaxation. There is a palpable excitement in the air. It is a time for giving and receiving, not to mention eating, drinking and partying. What better time to try a sensory-based experiment than now when there's a wealth of things to feast our senses on? Most of us have the same routine day in and day out.

Quinn guides the reader through the seven essential steps to personal and financial security and independence. This article is an excerpt from her book, comprising one of the seven steps. “Finding your passion” seems to be a buzz phrase these days. You hear people being interviewed on the television or the radio about their business (whether it be authoring, acting, skydiving, or whatever) and they are excitedly describing what they do for a living.ARTArticleFinding Inspiration!Often the question is asked of me, "Where does your inspiration come from?" This question suggests that our own inspiration is held within some exte al place, and if we were able to just finally reach there, then maybe the miraculous floodgates of inspired action would then deluge our lives with all the things that we desire. The question also suggests that there might be some exte al force, such as a muse, that then could, upon our meeting that muse, inspire us to action in our chosen field of endeavor, creating masterpiece after masterpiece of success.ARTArticleFinding Renewal and Balance during the Holidaze!Do you find yourself needing a vacation after Christmas vacation?

It's not.” ~Dr. Seuss I have been involved in the helping business on both ends of giving and receiving for nearly 5 decades now and here is my short list of what counts most in regards to truly effective helping.

It comes from your own actions.” ~Dalai Lama. Happiness is the end game goal of living. Whatever it is you are doing, it is to secure happiness. In a paradoxical way, how you define happiness determines how much or how little of it you have. One of the easiest and best ways to define happiness is by identifying the things you can do to get the most of it. Here are five pillars the experts agree on: 1.

You know that you need to make a change and you’re pretty sure there will be big consequences. So how do you go about it? Here are five things to consider that will make a tough change just a bit easier. 1. What's the cost of status quo? Not making a change that you know you need to make is costing you. Sit down and make a list of the payoffs you’re receiving physically, mentally, and emotionally for keeping things as they are. Then list the prices you’re paying for maintaining the status quo.ARTArticleFocus Your Mind: Real Self HelpDid you leave your house naked this morning? Of course you didn’t. Isn’t it bizarre that everyone has no problem preparing themselves physically for the day ahead whilst almost no one bothers to mentally prepare – and being mentally prepared is far more important because the quality of your life, your success, your peace of mind, your wealth, your health and your happiness all depend upon it. I say this with absolute certainty because many years research backs me up. What occupies your mind creates your life.ARTArticleFor SaleIt takes a lot of hard work and dedication to open your own business. There are many businesses that stood the test of time and have hung around for years. It is so sad when you see a business close its doors, for whatever reason. As you drive through the neighborhoods in your community, you might notice some which are no longer there. It saddens me more when I see many businesses close around the same time; one by one and the strip malls go vacant. Not only does the business owner lose in those circumstances, the community and the land owner lose out as well.rARTArticleForever GratefulAppreciate where you are in this moment, because in a blink of an eye, a new moment is upon you. Some will move up in life while others will slide down. Others will move laterally while some will try hard just to hold steady.

Appreciate the people you see today, the people you see no more, just be grateful to have known them.rARTArticleForget About the Recession: How to SucceedMany people are struggling at present – many have lost their jobs and many who still have jobs have taken a cut in their take home pay. Many small businesses are struggling, unable to access necessary credit from unwilling bankers – and some are going to the wall.ARTArticleForm And FunctionThis article will be short and sweet. Making distinctions, such as "hot/cold" is as important in self-help work, as it is when choosing what coat to wear today. In making any distinction, we have to define our separate terms, and then see where our beliefs overlapped them, until we got to the point where we confused the two.ARTArticleFrom Roses to Relationships: Essentials necessaary to cultivate growth“Hunter, what did Mommy ask you?” If only I had money for each time I asked this question, you know how that story would end – I would be rich! But I didn’t, instead I had my very adorable, doe eyed, five year old son staring up at me with a look on his face that said: “Whatever it is that you asked me, can you please think that I am cute enough to not do it and that just be ok?”ARTArticleFrom Slavery to FreedomWhat is change? How do we achieve this illusive concept? How do we master going beyond what we have been taught to do repeatedly either because we saw it or because it was drilled in to us on pain of who knows what? The thing I ask most readily when a client enters my office is “What is it that you choose to create by doing this work?” The client is usually quick with a response. “I want to be happy”. Or “I want to change my life”.ARTArticleFrustration, Confusion and Fear…oh my!Just got off the phone with a consulting client who has restructured the people in her business to be aligned with the appropriate job. (Honestly, if I only did one thing all day, it would be style and values testing because it makes people understand their relationships so well!) Not only is she happier, but so are the other people on the team. According to Gang & Gang, 55% of people are in the wrong jobs.ARTArticleGenerate MLM Network Marketing Leads To Help Your Business DevelopHow can you find the best MLM network marketing leads in your business? Would you resort to buying them from lead companies? A lot of people who venture in the Multilevel marketing business and buy leads normally have low odds of success. It’s because majority of the leads generated by lead companies are neither exclusive nor targeted. Should you purchase leads from a lead company, you have no idea how the company generated that information. You have no idea for sure if they are fresh leads or if they were generated months ago.ARTArticleGet Definite To ManifestToday I want to talk about the Formula for Riches. It's made up of six steps. I talk about this in Chapter 1 of The NEW Think and Grow Rich, because it's that important. It starts with Desire—and this is where a lot of people completely miss the boat. A few years back I was at a Christmas party, and a gentleman approached because he knew I had just released The NEW Think and Grow Rich. And he says, "Well, I'm gonna be a millionaire, too." I said, "Great, great!" and I asked him how he was going to do it. He didn't have the first idea.ARTArticleGet It Real Not Right And Succeed!TB Wright This will be a short article on the one most important factor in your life, in your success, and for the world, and that is: you. Unless you are as fully immersed within your own self-love, which means to be experiencing your inherent, already existing, never going anywhere, self-worthiness, then you are not reaching your full potential. My invitation? Start practicing. The way to start practicing is to do The Loving Process© over, and over, and over, again. How many times do you need to do those pushups?ARTArticleGet Mentors To Accelerate Your SuccessAll my life, I had been a little bit envious of the success that I saw that others clearly had and I didn't have. And of course it was justified in my circles and my family, and we were taught it was good, religiously, to be poor. God loved the poor people but not the rich ones, you know… “It’s easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to get into heaven.” So this is pretty doggone tough, but I wanted it—and I kept sabotaging myself. In other words, I couldn't get outside my comfort zone, which had been established for me at a very low level.ARTArticleGet On With Creating The Life You WantI had a guy who embezzled several hundred thousand dollars from me. I'm not going to go into the specifics of the situation, but because of the fact that he did it to some other people, the law may still settle the score differently than things look right now. I have no idea. This I do know. I did some business dealings with the man, and he presented himself in a position of honesty, integrity, counseling, and advice. I accepted him at face value—he did come highly recommended from someone I respected. And then it turns out that he was doing fraudulent things, unlicensed things.ARTArticleGet Out of this Trap-You Are Incomparable!Self love; this is a powerful practice we explored last month. We have heard often how crucial it is to our authentic success and joy. There is one very insidious trap that sabotages self love; something many of us may be all too familiar with… Comparing…ARTArticleGet Over Your Faults and FailingsWe all have our faults and failings. That is a statement of ordinary, honest fact. However, the vast majority of us mistake our inappropriate behaviour for some inherent character flaw that leads everyone to whom I have ever posed the questio "Are you 100% happy with yourself?" to immediately and forcefully answer "No!" All my clients tell me that they have "inadequacies", things they'd like to change about themselves. But when we dig deeper, two things become apparent.
