Who Are You?
April 5, 2009
There are numerous ways to lose your own sense of self. There are things you can do to help preserve that, no matter what happens. This sense of self is essential in any self-improvement program.
*Know your purpose
Identify your life purpose or mission statement and you will have your own exclusive compass that will lead you to your truth north every time.
* Know your values
What do you value most? Is it love, family, freedom? Knowing exactly what is important to you will reassure you in times of doubt.
Taking Your Ideas A Step Further
April 2, 2009
Whether you’re an executive, manager, professional, or entrepreneur, you need to think ahead. When you do it in a formal sense, it’s called it planning, when you do it informally it’s something like speculating.
Whether you’re planning or speculating, the exercise represents just the tip of the iceberg. For the plans or scenarios to amount to something, they have to be implemented. In turn, that usually involves other people.
Which takes us to the subject of communication: How do you convert those ideas in your head into instructions or position papers or even real plans?
A Bowl Of Wisdom Soup
March 27, 2009
1. Dedicate yourself by all means at the job in hand
2. Empty yourself of all the entanglements since you are none of it and need not take the transient for eternal. You are slave of your own created entanglements, no entanglements, and no slaving business.
3. Your capacity to empty yourself of all the subjects of desire matters at the end of the day. When you are emptied of all the entanglements, what remains is love. All the entanglements are self.
4. Unless you have the capacity to absolutely let go of old, new will not arrive.
Notable Thoughts On Positive Living
March 20, 2009
I went online — and what do I see? A news report scrolled across my screen: “Murder by Mother’s Milk,” compliments of the Associated Press. I try to keep up with the news as it informs me of my environment, the world around me and society in general. But when I look at a television or monitor screen and read horrific reports such as this one, I have to wonder what this world is coming to.
One Man Power
February 20, 2009
Every successful concern is the result of a One-Man Power. Cooperation, technically, is an iridescent dream things cooperate because the man makes them. He cements them by his will.
But find this Man, and get his confidence, and his weary eyes will look into yours and the cry of his heart shall echo in your ears. “O, for some one to help me bear this burden!”
Then he will tell you of his endless search for Ability, and of his continual disappointments and thwartings in trying to get some one to help himself by helping him.

How You Can Improve your Personal Life

For some of us, improving our personal life is finding a new career. If we are working in what we love to do, that rubs off on the way we view things and gives us a better perspective on life.

A Gift From Beau
January 21, 2009
I receive many comments and emails during the course of each month, most all of them are very encouraging and written from the heart. They acknowledge the service I am providing to those that are ready to move further along their chosen path. I receive every once and awhile a special email or comment that reflects what I am attempting to do. I wanted to share this one with you; it came from my guest book this week.
Thank you– you helped me on this day-was feeling sorry for myself because I didn’t think I was special to anyone for any reason- which saddened me very much. I realize now that I am special-I need not prove it.
