ARTArticleFlip the Switch: Let the Light You Shine Dispel Your FearsWe have heard the phrase, “God doesn’t make junk,” but do we realize how divinely equipped we each are? Do we wake up in the morning and see a reflection of God’s best work in our mirror, or do we focus on the negative? Do we see only the things that we would like to improve in our lives instead of the gifts we innately have? So often, we see only those few pounds of weight that never seems to leave us or the friend that doesn’t call anymore or that big break that never seems to come.ARTArticleFocus: Do You Focus On What You Can't Control?In today’s world it is highly unlikely that one will have trouble finding something to focus on. No matter where they look or where they, there is going to be something to place their attention on. And at times this will mean that their time and energy is being used wisely and at other times, it won’t.ARTArticleFocus: Does What We Focus On Grow?If someone was to come to the conclusion that what shows up in their personal reality is the result of random factors and that one is nothing more than an observer, they might end up receiving the approval of the majority of people around them. And this is because the western world generally supports this outlook.
However, when it comes to the self development world, the opposite outlook is often supported. Here, one is seen as the co-creator of their reality and what shows up in their reality is the result of what they have focused on.ARTArticleFoods that Feed The Pineal GlandOur pineal gland otherwise known as our master gland or the gland that governs over our third eye is the center of psychic awareness in the human mind. It is about the size of a pea and sits inside a cave located behind the pituitary gland. It naturally produces a hormone called melatonin which regulates human daily body rhythms that deal directly with the day and night cycles.ARTArticleForgive YourselfARTArticleForgiveness: Can Trapped Emotions Stop Someone From Forgiving?It is not uncommon for someone to be told that they should just forgive and forget and simply move on from someone who has wronged them. This can seem to be the most logical thing that one can do; to put it behind them and carry on with their life.
One could be told that they are bigger than what has taken place or that holding onto to what happened will be detrimental to their health and wellbeing. So one might then feel pressured to move on, or at least make other people believe they have moved on to keep them happy.ARTArticleFour Cheap and Futile Ways to Acquire ConfidenceGoogle "self-confidence" and you will get three-bazillion web pages that suggest a variety of ways for you to gain self-confidence. Some promise instant self-confidence if you do this or act like that.ARTArticleFour Good Reasons to Be ThankfulBy Ron Ross
Feasting, football games, and of course, Black Friday sales often bury the true meaning of Thanksgiving. I must confess that at our house during the Thanksgiving weekend we do feast, I watch a little football, and my wife does some shopping. But through it all we do take time to give thanks and you should too!
Here are four good reasons you should give thanks, not only on Thanksgiving Day, but every day of the year.ARTArticleFreedom IsNon-attachment is your invitation to soar in complete freedom. Attachment to outer things is not the only attachment we have in our lives. There is a subtler, equally powerful but more insidious attachment that happens in our inner lives – attachment to our thoughts, our acquired knowledge and learned beliefs.ARTArticleGarage Sale Tactics“Garage Sale of Biblical Proportions” was the sign our neighbors (Jeff & Marie) erected to announce their garage sale last weekend. The wife and I figured this was a real can’t miss event, so we ambled over to see what goodies they had that we couldn’t live without. Fortunately, there was no treasure in their trash so we went home empty handed.ARTArticleGender Roles: Can Gender Roles Stop People From Growing?For many years, men were seen as being one way and women as being another way. And as time has passed, these differences are no longer as extreme as they used to be. But while some things have changed, in regards to what men and women are like, there is still work to be done.
This is understandable, as change doesn’t happen over night; especially when men and have women have been defined and have defined themselves in certain ways for so long. There is going to be resistance, even when these roles are no longer helping men and women.
EmpowermentARTArticleGetting organizedA considerable number of people are struggling trying to find ways to trim their bodies. They are desperately seeking for ways to shed off significant amounts of weight. This is because when a human body is left on its own it gravitates towards disorder. A bright and magnificent set of brains left on its own tends to degenerate thereby turning reprobate. Anything on this plane left to itself, more often than not, drifts down towards disorientation making disorder the order of the day.ARTArticleGiving it to God verses giving it to the universeRecently when scheduling a guest for my radio show I had a comment regarding God. I told the guest that I was excited to see that she brings the book of Titus to her business; it is the inspiration for her. Her response to me was I never know what to say to folks in Los Angeles with all the liberal Christians and new age thinkers, they usually do not focus on what God’s word says, as it is with no modifications.
This brought to mind an interesting question what is the difference between giving it to God and giving it to the universe?ARTArticleGod's unconditional loveI was watching the news for the Los Angeles area the other day and was really struck by the stories and their negative spin. I know there are positive things happening in Los Angeles however all we see are the horrible things people are doing to each other from killing family members to destroying marriages.ARTArticleGratitude 108 OfferingWe hear a lot about the power of gratitude lately. There seems to have been a hundredth monkey leap in consciousness, a global awareness that gratitude is a powerful and relatively easy way to sweep out the propensity toward negativity and connect to what’s good and right in our world.ARTArticleGratitude: Is Gratitude Dangerous?When one does something for another and they are grateful, it is going to create a better impression than if they were ungrateful. This response if likely to endear them to the giver and it could mean that the other person is only too happy to offer their hand in the future.ARTArticleGravity: My Interpretation Of The MetaphorsThe trailer to this film really caught my eye and stood out like very few films do. And while some are quiet engaging and interesting, this was gripping and instantly pulled me in. It soon became apparent that George Clooney and Sandra bullock were in the film. After watching it, I mentioned the film to a few friends and decided that I was going to see it. So it could be said that my expectations were high and I thought I was in for something special.ARTArticleGrief: What Can Happen When Someone Has Grief Trapped In Their Body?After one has certain experiences in their life, they are generally going to feel certain emotions. And as we are all emotional beings, this is normal and what is to be expected. But just because this is normal and part of being human, it doesn’t mean that this is what always takes place.
Something can happen in one’s life, and they can end up tying to avoid experiencing the feelings that arise. Therefore, one is not going to fully embrace how they feel and at other times, one can avoid their feelings completely.ARTArticleGrounded: Is Human Touch An Important Part Of Feeling Grounded?It is not uncommon to hear people say that they feel ungrounded and while this may be a term that is more commonly used amongst people who are into self development, it is something that anyone can experience. It therefore won’t matter if they are into self development or not, as they can still have the same experience.
The words people use may be different and this is likely to reflection of what they have been exposed to. One person may use the word ‘ungrounded’ to describe how they feel and another may just say that they ‘don’t feel right’ or normal.ARTArticleHanging Tough During Tough TimesWhile I was starting to share some of thoughts with you on the topic of how to take tough times in your stride I suddenly remembered a cartoo
I saw long time ago. It was that of David and Goliath where, David sees Goliath tinier than him though the picture of Goliath is hundred times magnified, as printed on the cartoon book. The caption just under the cartoon read very simple. It said: It's all in the perspective! The cartoon not only set me thinking but it threw open some very closed doors in my mind.ARTArticleHappiness: Can Money Buy Happiness?While money can give someone the power to buy most things in life, it is often said that what it can buy is happiness. It then won’t matter how much money someone has, as the size of their ‘bank account’ won’t make any difference.
And while being happy is something that most people want to experience, it doesn’t mean that it everyone is going to have the same meaning. But it can include the following: having good relationships with others; being healthy; having a supportive family, feeling emotionally whole and living a meaningful life.
RelationshipsARTArticleHappiness: Is Being In Touch With Our Needs An Important Part Of Being Happy?There are many things that people want in today’s world, and one of those things is to be happy. But although this is what people want, it is not always that they receive. Someone can feel as though it is impossible for them to fulfil this need and that they would have more chance finding the end of a rainbow.ARTArticleHappiness: Is Life Too Short To Be Unhappy?If someone had to choose between feeling happy or feeling unhappy it is clear that in most cases they would choose the first option. When one is happy, not only will their inner world change, it is also going to have an effect on their outer world.
This inner change will cause their behaviour to change and how they perceive the world around them is also going to change. And through feeling different and perceiving the world around them differently, it is going to have an effect on how other people respond to them.ARTArticleHappiness: Why Do Some People Feel Responsible For Other People's Happiness?When other people are unhappy, it can cause someone to feel a sense of conce
and to be curious as to why they feel as they do. As a result of this, one can hope that this person begins to feel better and even see what they can do to help them.
This could apply to anyone one meets that appears unhappy, but in most cases, it is going to relate to the people that one knows and is close to. To be this way is part of being human and that means having empathy.ARTArticleHappy Relationships: The Five Faces of LoveRecently I heard a spiritual teacher address a woman who asked whether she should continue to love and accept her partner of four years the way he was or move on. She wanted him to be more committed to the relationship in ways that mattered to her but could continue to love him unconditionally in order to give him more time. It seemed she was willing to accept his needs and minimize her own because that was the “enlightened” thing to do (my interpretation).ARTArticleHate How You Sound on a Recording?Does this sound familiar? You hear a recording of your voice and you cringe? Perhaps you are embarrassed. Well, you are not alone. Most people do not recognize what they hear on the recording because it does not sound like the voice they hear in their head.
Unfortunately, the voice on the recording equipment is exactly how you sound to everyone else.ARTArticleHave More Time, Make More Money, Be More Effective, With Less EffortDo you feel you DO NOT have enough TIME to do and accomplish all you desire?
Do you feel you DO NOT have enough TIME to get just what needs to be done completed?
Is your focus in life like a flashlight or a laser?
If you answered YES you need to explore delegating and outsourcing. Some of you are already conjuring in your mind reasons why you can’t outsource.ARTArticleHave you learned your ABC?ABC THEORY.
Have you learned your ABC yet?
The American psychologist Albert Ellis (1913–2007) developed rational-emotive therapy (RET), which is a directive, confrontational psychotherapy designed to challenge and modify clients’ irrational beliefs thought to cause their personal distress (Ellis, 1961, 1977, 1979,1987). RET is based on Ellis’ ABC theory (Wood & Wood, 1993).
The A refers to the activating event,
the B to the person’s belief about the event,
and the C to the emotional consequence that follows.ARTArticleHealing: Do We Heal When We Are Ready?When someone has experienced some kind of abuse as a child and this could be physical emotional, verbal or sexual, there is often the need to recover as fast as possible. To look for the answers and to find the solution or solutions that will make everything better.
This is natural and must partly reflect that part of human nature that causes one to want something instantly and without delay. That childlike part of us that is not prepared to wait a moment longer.ARTArticleHelping Others Get OrganizedPeople often ask how to get their kids, spouse, friend, roommate, or parent organized. They are often frustrated by others’ clutter and may have given “helpful” advice: “If you would just get organized…”
The less organized person’s response (if they had one) would sound something like this: “If I knew how to get organized, I would have done so already!”
So how do we help the less-organized people in our lives? The following techniques are designed to help you (or someone you know) begin to get organized:
