Getting Inner World Under Control
We've all heard time and again that "Attitude is everything". In this life we're all playing an inner game of mental causes and an outer game physical affects. The inner game consists of the thoughts, feelings and emotions that we have; our values, attitudes and beliefs. The outer game is the affect of the thoughts, feelings and emotions. It's the work we do, the actions we take and the way we present ourselves to the world. The outer game of our results…our physical manifestation, is the game we show the world, but the inner game is the most important facet of our success in life.

7 Mental Strength Questions for Changing Your Life
I love questions! The really powerful ones should stop a person in their tracks and make think and ponder. By this, I mean those questions should have the power to change your life, not like the basic questions, i.e. “What’s your favorite color?” The problem these days we don’t take the time to use our imagination and look ahead at what could be. We’re too busy looking at the current situation and “what is”.

The Number One Reason Why People Fail
I like simple, or in other words “basic.” I have found in my experience that basic ideas are easier to understand, and when I understand them I can implement them faster. To this point, there are three basic or key components for “success” (how ever you define success.) They are: 1. A strategy 2. Tactics 3. Mind-set The strategy is the “big picture” of what you’d like to accomplish. The tactics are the “how” you are going to get there. The mind-set is the catalyst for implementing the tactics. There are hundreds of books, CD’s etc.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Gregg Swanson
"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." - Einstein
"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to become one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the end of our lives. Nobody was born a warrior, in exactly the same way that no one is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other." - Carlos Castaneda

How to get started
Every moment of your life is filled with a swirl of choice. For any one thing that you do, think or say there is an infinite array of other possibilities that you DID NOT choose. You build your life one choice at a time. The “you” that you know is really a mosaic composed of the results of these countless individual choices in life up to this moment.
As a human being, you can allow these life choices to play themselves out into one or two ways. You can permit others to make the choices for you, by means of their environmental influences, subtle suggestions or even direct orders. This is the passive path through life. This path is so easy to fall into and such a life of foggy an unexamined autopilot beliefs and actions is a tragic waste of your potential!
Life is meant to be lived, explored, and utilized with purpose. Therefore the second possible path in life is the path of awakening. Ever increasingly alert, in touch, and in charge, you can willfully activate your deepest and most significant potentials.
