Nowadays, people are starting to believe a lot more in the usefulness of the process known as cosmic ordering. It’s like placing a food order at the drive through at a restaurant and getting your food, except you place this order for your desires directly with the universe to get it. There have been plenty of celebrities that speak of this as being responsible for the great success in their lives. Read the rest of this entry

The Blarney Stone is a historical stone, or actually part of the Blarney Castle in Ireland where it was believed that kissing the stone can grant you the gift of gab. Yeah, it seems strange in this day and age, but who are we to question tradition? It’s not like I’m saying that Santa Claus doesn’t exist (OOPS!).

There is so much to know about conversation that anyone, even I, could ever realize. You can go though watching talk shows; radio programs; clubs dedicated to public speaking; ordinary conversations; certain rules still apply when it comes to interaction through words. It may sound tedious, I know, but even though it’s your mouth that’s doing the work, your brain works twice as hard to churn out a lot of things you know. So what better way to start learning to be an effective communicator is to know the very person closest to you: yourself. Read the rest of this entry

Be all you can be, but it’s not always in the Army. I often see myself as somewhat contented with my life the way things are, but of course it’s hard to think of anything else when where are real issues to be discussed.

Still I aspire for something deeper and more meaningful.

So we’re all pelted with problems. Honestly it shouldn’t even bother or even hinder us to becoming all we ought to be. Aspirations as kids should continue to live within us, even though it would be short-lived or as long as we could hold on to the dream. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks… or can they?

“The power of intention is the power to manifest, to create, to live a life of unlimited abundance, and to attract into your life the right people at the right moments.” Wayne Dyer (Spiritual Guru)

This is the hope that allows us to continue on with our lives, a purpose by which we explain our existence. The difficulties and darkness of this world does not affect our abundance even though they potentially hide it for a while. Our abundance is how our faith is affirmed. It assures us that there is goodness in our lives despite all the hardships of the world.

How many times have you tried to convey to someone your deepest fears in life?  Often the reaction you’ll get won’t be the one you’re looking for or expecting.  Instead of a sympathetic shoulder, you often get a confused look and a response like, “It’s mind over matter,” or “You have to get over it.”

Unfortunately, it isn’t always as easy as shutting off your fears like you would turn off the stove.  Fears are deeply embedded in our conscious and subconscious mind.  After a time, and with repetition, they become established as a formal belief system that you hold. Read the rest of this entry

Self-confidence is a feeling that is garnered through experiences. When a person experiences success, that person will tend to expect to be successful. And that expectation will cause a feeling of confidence.

For example: A man wants to be an extreme fighter, so he gets a manager and takes lessons. His manager will not  put him into a competition until he has built up proficient fighting skills. And even then, the manager will only put him up against an opponent that he knows his fighter can pound. When his fighter beats the contender, he is successful, and starts to gain a feeling of confidence in his abilities. Read the rest of this entry

Have you made excuses to avoid taking action on something you wanted to do?  It’s amazing how incredibly valid your excuses can seem at times.  You can often end up believing that they are the absolute truth.  In reality, excuses can not only cause you to miss out on opportunities, they have the power to destroy your life if you let them.

By continuously talking yourself out of doing things you create a very powerful downward spiral of decreased opportunities, dwindling abundance and you diminish your self-respect.  You’re left with an empty shell of the person you could be.  If you find yourself always making excuses not to work the effects will snowball.  You won’t make money, your business won’t become successful or you won’t advance in your career.    The depression that follows can be devastating.

Are you having a hard time getting or staying disciplined?  Are you suffering from a lack of motivation?  Movitation and discipline go hand-in-hand.  Without motivation it is nearly impossible to become disciplined.  Ironically, once you become disciplined you rarely need to be motivated to keep things running smoothly.
