ARTArticleYou Simply Need to Turn Yourself On!The average person goes through their adult life in a daze. Research indicates that they are incapable of devoting any appreciable level of attention to anything. It suggests that they only experience what they expect to experience and that the routine tasks of everyday life are done completely mindlessly. If that weren't enough research also indicates that the average person gets what they expect out of life - and that their expectations are very low, given that they are predisposed to being negative.
Wow - what an awful, but accurate, picture of the average life.ARTArticleYou Taught MeYou taught me to think about the ramifications of my actions, before I do them. You have taught me so many things throughout my lifetime that the list would be too long. But more importantly than the things you taught me, was the way you made me feel. You made me feel loved, and it is that love that gave me my self-confidence. You have taught me to not only tell the truth, but to be honest with myself as well.ARTArticleYou've come a long wayI think David Riklan has come a long way. A while back, I remember him sending me e-mails making him out to be some kind of Internet Guru, which he isn't of course, who only wanted your money.
After some time, I began to take a closer look at him as he went from this e-mailing kid to a real online entrepreneur with very good tips on how to succeed in any walk of life.
Not too long ago, I came across his page, this one that I'm writing on, and couldn't believe how far he had gotten in terms of his endeavor to help his clients become successful in whatever they did.ARTArticleYour Body Talks To You. Do You Listen and Flow or Ignore and Struggle?Your body talks to you all day long. What you feel in your body is an indicator of whether or not you are moving towards or away from achieving what you desire. Your gut instinct will tell you what steps to take, what choices to make, that will get you what you want. Your stomach will tell you if you're headed in the wrong direction.
Are you listening? Are you paying attention, tapped into what your body is telling you?ARTArticleYour Olympic PerformanceAs the world’s eyes focus on the Vancouver Winter Olympics our minds are filled with hopes and aspirations of the athletes: the glory of victory, the agony of defeat, the dreams that are fulfilled or crushed in a matter of seconds, the years of training that bought them to this moment. Can you possibly imagine how it would feel to walk under your country’s flag out into an arena of sixty thousand people cheering for you?
No pressure there.
Maybe you don’t have an audience of thousands watching you. Maybe it’s just your boss, your customer, your employee or your co-workers.ARTArticleYour Résumé’s Secret Weapon For the New Year: 7 Elements to Add NOW!If they didn’t notice you before...

What’s the next act? Thankfully, there are so many options to be had, and if you are like most people in the 50 and over crowd, the rocking chair isn’t the path your jumping with excitement to travel. The question is, which path do you take? What are the possible scenes?ARTArticle“I’m a Technopreneur and I’m jobless,” says Faizan Laghari. Is an entrepreneur jobless?The Yes "I am jobless" Camp by Faizan Laghari
Jobless for over 10 yearsr
I can only speak for myself in this regard.
The fact of the matter is that I haven't had a job for 10 years now.
Definition of Jobr
As I always explain in my presentations, a "job" in my opinion is where I go for an interview, get hired, get a job description, and am told this is my department, my team, my manager and my boss (who I'll probably never meet often). I'm also told that XYZ is my salary and benefits each month.ARTArticle“If You Couldn't Manage it When it Was Nothing…”I was talking to the unstoppable Glenn W. Turner just the other day.

Kitty
“Mother must be spinning in her grave,” Kitty muttered, as her chauffeur drove up the long driveway to the main entrance of Weston State Prison. “The daughter of a daughter of the American Revolution visiting her husband in prison. My mother would die of shame, except that she’s already gone. Thank God she didn’t live to see this day.”
The tall, distinguished black man, with salt and pepper hair, who drove for Kitty Lancaster, glanced into the rear view mirror. “Excuse me, Ms. Lancaster, Ma’am?” I didn’t catch that.”rARTArticle** Top 3 Creative SinkholesIn my conversations with artists, actors, writers, singers and musicians I've noticed a pattern of three 'sinkholes' that suck the creative energy right out of a person.

Are You Running Into Foolish Assumptions?You're blocked, stuck in your creative expression and flow, and it doesn't feel good. You hate being in this emotional state. In your despair you give attention, energy and focus to your block thereby strengthening the very block you wish to overcome. And you feel worse. You are literally and figuratively chocked in either your despair or anger over not being able to create what you are here to express, what is your purpose in life.
"Every artist writes his own autobiography." Havelock Ellis
May I suggest you stop blocking and literally chocking your own creative expression?ARTArticle*** Blocked Creatively?

This internal GPS is your intuition, the voice of your Higher Self, your Inner Being or what I playfully call the Wizard Within. Wizards are alchemists, after all. They know how to turn dreams into reality.ARTArticle*** Creatively Blocked? Let Go of "It Has to Be Good"There you are again, staring endlessly at the blank canvas or page. Perhaps you are sitting at the piano, clueless as to where to place your hands. Are you struggling with how to develop your character in the role you've just landed?

You think about your art, your character, painting, sculpture, upcoming tour, or screenplay seemingly every waking minute of every day. Heck, you even dream about it!
This fiendish infatuation with your craft, the passion that drives you to get out of bed in the morning is a wonderful gift.
