ARTArticleWhat do you want?“What do you want?”
I call this the four words that move you forward. I find that most people have never really taken the time to sit down and ask themselves this question, and then not only see themselves with what it is they really want, but imagine their future with no limits. Can you do it?
Now ask yourself – if you had a future with no limits…
* What would your days look like?
* Imagine you have no demands placed on you, and you too have the power of choice with you at all times.ARTArticleWhat Do You Want?What do you want? No, I mean it. What is it that you truly want? Some people want fame, others would like good fortune. While you think about what it is that you truly want, here are a couple questions to think about as well. If I receive what I want, is it going to make me happy? Is it a necessity or a convenience?rARTArticleWhat Does It Mean To Love Yourself?Although this may seem like a very basic question, I hear this quite often; “What Does It Mean To Love Yourself?” Society has somehow confused and convoluted the true answer to this question.
Living a life filled with happiness begins with learning to love yourself first. Let me explain what this means.
Loving yourself means you do the following:ARTArticleWhat Goes Around Comes AroundWe all have some sense that we reap what we sow – or what goes around comes around – but quantum physics actually scientifically proves that karma is a powerful force in our lives. As quantum physics might put it, energy in : energy out.ARTArticleWhat happens when you “What if?”It was 3:30 p.m. on Sunday afte
oon, and I was walking out of the movie theater with a giant knot in the pit of my stomach. I had just seen the movie “2012?.
After going in with much anticipation and knowing that I would need to keep a strong mind to be able to stay positive in the midst of so much chaos and negativity, I was astonished to find that in my own mind, I had created a massive dose of anxiety and fear in my mind and body. How could that be? After all, aren’t I some kind of new thought guru that understands how thoughts can create emotion?ARTArticleWhat I Know TodayI’m feeling a little lost this morning. So I’ve decided to center myself by writing and to focus on what I know because right now I feel swamped by all the things I don’t know.
1. One thing I know is that I have lots of help. For example, I am dictating this writing into my computer with the new program I am just learning how to use called MacSpeech Dictate. Since I am legally blind, and I was never very good at typing anyway, in fact,I cheated in my high school typing class, writing these blogs is very difficult for me.ARTArticleWhat if We All had an Angel Committee?I’ve been talking about Angel committees for years and it’s been a lot of fun. My idea of an Angel committee is that everyone has one and that they conspire to force us to live our lives fully. They will do whatever it takes to get our attention and they howl with delight when they think up a really good scenario to force us to get honest and get brave.
A while ago my friend Francie and I were taking an afte
oon walk.ARTArticleWhat Is Holding You Back?© 2014 Susan Fox

Many people say they’d love their life better if only things were different. Have you ever thought that idea yourself? Do you say, “As soon as (something happens) THEN I’ll be happy!” Well, the good news is that you can be happy right now…if you choose.
People who feel overwhelmed in life often also feel worried they are powerless to change things for the better. But the truth is, with small changes virtually anyone can experience big life improvements.ARTArticleWhat Is Love?Do you really know what love is? Many of us were taught what love means by the actions of the adults in our lives. Some parents displayed love openly, while others might have shown little or no affection at all. Is love a kiss, a hug, or something much deeper than this? We grew up in a time period when love meant longevity, marriages lasted a long time. They still do, but you hear a lot more about couples divorcing nowadays.ARTArticleWhat Is The Moral of Your Story?What Is The Moral of Your Story?

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson.
The answer to this intriguing title question involves an assumed answer to three underlying possibilities:
• Do we all have a common purpose in this life with set success rules to carry it out ?ARTArticleWhat is Your Passion?We all have a passion for something. Through time and patience, we have allowed ourselves to experiment with different things and uncover a part of us that finds a sense of joy and accomplishment in our passion.
Some people have become great artist and musicians, while others have a profound passion for health and the environment. There is neither right nor wrong, as it takes all things to make this a wondrous world.ARTArticleWhat Is Your Real BS About Relationships?What do you really believe about relationships, starting with yourself?
It is widely accepted that about 90% of our belief system (BS) was formed by the age of 7. To know what we really believe about relationships would be critical as it has shaped how we view them today at least to the extend that we have not re-programmed our BS.ARTArticleWhat Normal People WantI know that people are constantly striving to get more out of life. I know that many people wish for, hope for, want for more success, more happiness, more wealth. But wishing, hoping and wanting something is simply a useless mental activity - a waste of energy - because the only thing that will get you what you want is beyond wishing, hoping and wanting - it's believing. More of that later!ARTArticleWhat Really MattersTB Wright
Imagine yourself laying on your deathbed, knowing you are never going to get up again. No, not to make yourself feel bad, but for the purpose of distilling what is important to you right from the story of your own life. How can we feel bad about dying anyway? We haven't experienced it yet, and it's an inevitable fact for every single one of us. So, you're on that bed and many thoughts are going through your mind. What do you imagine you are thinking that you should have done different. Good, now we'll take some more time to organize your thoughts. Okay, that's enough.ARTArticleWhat Snow Can Teach Us About Creating A Positive Life!Snow fall is one of the most beautiful sites that this world offers
us. It reminds us of the beauty of the world around us because it
covers over the dirt and the trash and makes it seem like it never
existed in the first place. It’s magical and it can teach us a lot
about how we can reprogram outselves to cover over the dirt and
trash of our past and create a fresh start toward our future.
Think of each of your thoughts as a single snow flake. By itself,
it would be hardly noticable. One single thought in the world of
thoughts that happens in our heads every day.ARTArticleWhat Stops You?Limiting beliefs is a powerful thing that can affect you being successful in your business. You can, however, experience greater FREEDOM as you begin to explore your beliefs and experience true transformation.ARTArticleWhat to Look For in the Right Business CoachFor a sports team to be successful it takes more than just a superstar player, a strong roster of talented young backups or even state-of-the art training facilities. While all of those can be important factors, none of it would result in a winning unit without the help of one person: the head coach.ARTArticleWHAT WERE YOU BORN TO DO?Jerry was born to fly. From the time he was little, when his mother pushed him from the nest, Jerry loved to soar through the air. Up and down, high and low, Jerry spend his days gliding gracefully in the sky.
One day Jerry met Steve. Steve was different from Jerry. Steve loved to climb trees. Steve had spent his whole life climbing up and down every tree he could find. It could even be said the Steve may well have been the best tree climber ever.ARTArticleWhat You May Not Know About Store Gift CardsChristmas has come and gone and many of us find ourselves the grateful recipients of gift cards. Let's face it, they are easy to purchase as you see them just about everywhere - hanging by the cash registers at WalMart, Home Depot and even Macy's.ARTArticleWhat? That Time of Year Again!Remember, that this is only a short segment of each year and much of it is "driven" by media advertising hype or our wanting to keep up "appearances". Keep it in perspective.
Mentally sketch a clear portrait of what a "great" festive season would look like for you. Once you are crystal clear about what you want, then start planning plus, practice in a mirror saying "no" to the suggestions/invitations from others that do not fit your picture!
Discard the preconceived ideas of what this time of year "should" be like.ARTArticleWhat’s humor got to do with it?Introduction:
Don’t take your self so seriously. You’ll not get out of this world alive.
One’s sense of humor involves the capacity to appreciate incongruity, absurdity, an unexpected future, a pleasant surprise, or a startle.
Humor helps soften life’s blows. For instance note the humor people express at funerals.
Participants in a seminar recently identified humor as an important coping factor. They believed it played a role in their spirituality and their perception of the meaning of life.ARTArticleWhat's Joy Got To Do With It?Honestly, what does joy have to do with it? If I hear one more New Agey "gotta be happy or I'm gonna die" guru tell me that I have to be happy, I'm just gonna . . .well, you get the picture. Do I? Do I have to be happy? Of course not. Being happy or not isn't all that important. What is important, is being what you are in any one now moment, and then having what you're being mean nothing.
Again, do you have to have what you are being, mean nothing? No, certainly, you don't have to do this either. In fact, you don't have to do anything at all. Where's that list? Nothing of the sort.ARTArticleWHAT’S ON MY MIND OR WHAT’S ON TV?What’s on my mind or what’s on my TV? Both! It’s the US Open and the biggest stage for worldwide tennis there is. I’m reflecting on my trip to the Open in 2001, just before 9/11 when our world changed so dramatically. That trip combined so many metaphors for life. My goal was to see great matches and meet my favorite player Pat Rafter from Australia. And I did both! What a crazy 3 days in Flushing Meadows, NY – a combination of exhilaration, heat exhaustion (man, it’s humid there) and wonderful tennis!
Tennis is an amazing game.ARTArticleWhat's Sacred Intimacy?We all lead busy lives. No doubt. The problem with living busy lives is that we forget, sometimes, about the living part.
Part of living is in the everyday interaction. It’s seeing the person whose eyes you avoid as you walk down the street, or the waitress who served you, the person who refilled your water glass. It’s going to a networking meeting expecting to give rather than get. It’s telling someone you love them, just because.ARTArticleWhat's Your Operating System?Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius, the man who defied all odds and shattered his physical limitations, was recently sentenced to five years imprisonment for culpable homicide. He was tried for the murder of his girlfriend, South African model Reeva Steenkemp in a widely publicised case.
As the case went on and his life was laid bare, a striking paradox surfaced from this man's public persona. It appeared that for all his superhuman feats, he is also a very vulnerable and insecure man.ARTArticleWhen Less Is MoreTB Wright
What? When is less, more? Less is more when that more is more satisfaction, more joy, more money, and more of all the wealth you can imagine, and more. Where wealth is defined in the online seminar I do with participants as "an increase in anything that is important to you." Anything! Wow! That sure covers a lot. It sure does. How about, anything! Okay, now what's the catch? The catch is, in order to experience this more, you are going to have to give up a lot of nothing.ARTArticleWhen The 100th Monkey Eats…People often ask me, "How long will it take to be successful?" Well, that's a good question, and a lot of the people who ask me know that, in my particular case, it was less than three weeks. Less than three weeks after I attended a high-quality seminar that told people how work in the direct response business, which I was interested in, I walked in and quit my job.
Within three weeks, I was retired at 45 years old. Permanently retired-I never worked again.
How long will it take? Well, like I said, it happened to me in three weeks. But you know what?ARTArticleWhen You DecideThings will change, only when you decide you are ready to change them. Life is so full of promise, but some days you just don’t see it. I’ll call those days, distractions. Believe me when I say, life is full of them.ARTArticleWhere you are...Where you want to be....How to get there!Life is pretty easy to figure out; we just complicate it by reading too much into it. We are wired to figure things out which work for us and we try a new approach if it isn’t working.
A large part of getting to where you want to be is envisioning yourself already there. If you are a classical singer, you might picture yourself on stage of an opera. Whatever your vision is, you can get there. Making a vision board will help you obtain and retain new ideas of the future you imagined. But that is only one small part of making it to where you want to be.rARTArticleWhere You Came FromWhere you came from does not mean that you are destined to be in a certain situation, place, or doing a certain thing. Where you are going depends on you; and the amount of determination and work that you are willing to put forth to get you where you want to be.
