What If 2010 Was Your Last Year on Earth?

What would you do if you only had six more months to live? Who would you call more often? How would you spend your free time? How would you spend your money? (more…)

Succeed through Authenticity

You are a unique person, with unique experiences and unique talents. You can get ahead in life faster by embracing your uniqueness. Spending time and money trying to be like someone else may seem like a good idea at times, but it robs you of your authenticity.

When you do things you love, though you may physically or mentally get tired, you will enjoy what you do, and it will feel less like work and more like fun. (more…)

What do you Focus on?

When I bought my first car in Perth, Western Australia in the summer of 1999 ( a lovely navy blue Ford Laser, 1982 model), I took it for a spin to Scarborough Beach. This car was brand new to me. I had never owned a car in my life, so I was pretty excited. It did not have air con so I unwound the windows and cranked up the music.

Then something weird happened. I saw someone driving the exact same type and age of car as my car. Then another one, then another one. On an 20 kilometer drive I saw a total of seven cars, just like mine, but not quite mine. I was tuned in to the Ford Laser 1982 channel, and that is why I saw so many of them.

What channel is your mind tuned in to? What is the primary thought running through your mind? What channel is influencing you in ways that you cannot even begin to imagine?

We never really step back and analyze our thought patterns. But they are critical to success and happiness. Whatever you think about, you become. So please pay special attention to today’s blog post. (more…)
