Get Over Your Faults and Failings

We all have faults and failings - fact. But they don't make us bad people - they are behaviours created automatically by a subconscious mind over which we need to exercise control. The normal subconscious is out of control, normal behaviour being dictated according to self-perceptions we learned during our formative years. Grasp control of your ability to live life to the full, free of repetitive behaviour and the associated guilt... Read

Personal Success Comes from Mindfulness

Mindfulness is your key to a life of effortless success. It is the exact opposite of how so-called "normal" people live their lives - they lead mindless automatic lives. Mindfulness is being present in the here and now - fully immersed in where you are and what you're doing. Mindfulness enables you be more present - have more presence, be more impressive. Above all, mindfulness will enable you go places that normal people can never venture... Read

Stop Reading Self-Help Books!

Normal people live normal lives. They read lots of "self-help" books but nothing ever changes. They (you) need to start living and experiencing the wonder of now. In being focused in the here and now, you develop presence - an attribute always ascribed to people whose names we all know - abnormally successful people. Do you want to be abnormally successful, effortlessly? The solution is entirely in your own hands - here and now. Read

Is Self-Help a Scam?

Recent university research suggests that self help "makes you feel worse". But the researchers know nothing about self-help - they studied self-affirmation. And self-affirmation is a scam - you'll never convince yourself that you're wonderful if you don't believe it in your heart and soul. To really help yourself, you need to get in touch with that heart and soul, the part of you that can create the life and happiness that you really want... Read

How to Get Your Own Way

People rarely take action - they react. Years of research prove that our reactive behaviour takes us away from getting what we want out of life - when all we have to do, instead, is take "right action". But to take right action, you need a clear and present mind. And to be mindful, you need to practice. Meditation is what's called for (in whatever form turns you on) enabling you take the right action to create the life you really really want. Read

Even More Strategies for Effortless Business Success

You can either have a normal business or you can create an exceptionally successful business - effortlessly. In my two previous articles on the subject, I discussed how one might define success and how, then, one sets out to achieve that success. Now, I discuss the most important aspect of business success - focus. Abnormally successful people are single-minded and abnormally focused, not on their goals, but on the task in hand, the here and now. Read

The Motivational You

We need to get a kick out of life. Yet research suggests that we're stressed, unhappy at work, worried about money and frustrated in our apparent inability to achieve our goals and dreams. We need to motivate ourselves - but does that mean one part of me needs to motivate another part of me? The evidence suggests that that is the case - your real potential is being held back by your perceived personality - it's a battle the real you must win. Read

What Normal People Want

Surprisingly, by their actions, normal people don't want success or happiness - they want to stay "not too bad" and want abnormally successful people to be normal too. There's no one more threatening to a normal person than someone who "has it all" and, yet, research proves that normal people are technically insane. Which would you choose - effortless success in your business and personal life - or to be normal and not too bad? No choice really! Read

Meteoric Personal Development!

Myself and my family recently watched the annual Perseid Meteor Shower, a humbling experience which got me thinking about my place in the universe. It brought to mind a client's question about how a "loving God" allows tragedy happen in people's lives. Most importantly, it re-defined for me, how I need to control my mental power and potential - to invest my mental energy in a universe that quantum physics tells us will respond to our investment.

How to Create Your Ideal Life

Research suggests that the vast majority of people live far from their ideal lives. Yet, normal people somehow believe that new things will happen for them if they keep doing the same things - normal people rarely change their behaviour. If you want your ideal life, you have to do things differently, take new actions and, above all, discipline your mind. Then you can cultivate the clear and present state of mind that will create your ideal life. Read
