"Self Improvement"
There is an inherent problem with the approach most people
take to self-improvement of any kind. There is a
presupposition that there is something wrong that needs
fixing. Perhaps it is true that there are areas in their
lives that they wish to change. However, the mindset with
which they [...]
She was about 30 years old. A pretty woman to me. She had
several lines of deep scars on her face that I assumed were the
result of severe injuries caused by a car accident. Or worse, an
attack. This disturbed me.
Failure as part of a great life? Counterintuitive, but true! Think of your very best qualities, your most hard-won strengths and your truly amazing abilities – and remember how many of them are the result of lessons learned and character forged in the hot fire of failure.
One way to live a great life is to understand and embrace the concept of enough. Like the story of the dog in the manger who growled at the livestock attempting to eat, by taking more than you need or can responsibly use, you hoard the blessings of life in such a way that neither [...]
There’s a saying in aikido, “There are many lessons on the mat.” It means that when we’re practicing aikido we’re not just learning aikido, we’re also learning about life. For example, when someone grabs my wrist too hard and I get angry but don’t say anything, I eventually learn that it would be more useful [...]
Boxing is a professional sport that you can actually learn a great deal from and apply to managing certain areas of your life. According to the official website for the World Boxing Association, all world championship bouts shall be of a twelve round duration. Each round shall consist of three minutes in duration with one [...]
The Internet is a new continent where the maps areconstantly changing. What was a small stream becomes aroaring river. What was a desert becomes a lush greenvalley.
There’s some ‘alliteration’ for you! My great concern though, is the fact that there are too many today who wouldn’t understand the title or know the meaning of ‘alliteration’ (a repetition of words beginning with the same letter – as in Peter Piper picked a peck……). You might ask, “What has this to do with [...]
In the movie Dead Poets Society, Robin Williams urges his students to ‘Carpe Diem’ or ‘Seize the Day’. In other words, wake up, pay attention to the now; don’t spend one more minute living in auto control.
There are two types of people in this world – the “half full” folks and the “half empty” folks. The “half empty” population tends to think in terms of what they don’t have – in terms of scarcity, rather than abundance – while the “half fulls” live life the other way around, vividly aware of [...]
I heard a story recently, and wanted to share it with you. It goes something like this:
Zen mind is the “Natural” state of our beings: No self, no identity, no memes, no beliefs.
Occasionally I have an identity crisis. I think that’s good. From time to time I have to ask myself questions like: Who am I? What am I doing? Do I like doing it? Am I good at it? Will it help the world? and How does the world know I’m doing it?
Throughout our lives we all constantly face problems that can be caused either by events beyond our control our through our own decisions. The way we deal with these setbacks will have a great impact on our Self Improvement and success.
The truth is there is a gap between sight and hearing,
between visual and auditory, between seeing and believing.
And the fact is that this gap creates a billion dollar
industry. Improving communication has billions of books on
how-tos sitting on shelves and training services galore. And
the topic keeps [...]
Having a quest, a focused and sustained life-long desire or goal to accomplish, can add immeasurably to the greatness of a life. It adds vitality to everyday activities. It adds purpose and vision to our choices and decisions and it brings excitement and interest into our interactions with the world.
The pure and unadulterated joy of discovery is one that is rarely recreated through any other means, natural or otherwise. The thrill of learning something new, of seeing something great and wonderful for the first time or of finding out something amazing about yourself or another that you never knew before is one of the [...]
Today everyone is overwhelmed with information and having a good memory is very important. There are thousands of little things that you need to remember each day. You need to remember names, numbers, prices, study material, daily tasks, foreign languages, passwords and so much more. The list could continue forever here.
In order to live a great life, you have to be there. It sounds simple, but it’s not. Too few of us truly show up in our lives, as opposed to just “phoning it in” on autopilot, barely aware of the passing days and fading nights. A great life needs a center, an authentic spine [...]
“The time we spend in developing resources is what is going to really make the difference in the future.”
All You will leave behind for the world to remember is
Your Legacy, so ask yourself:
Colorful art, pictures, posters, photos and other items create an energy and a tone all their own. Choose subjects and examples that suit the tenor of the space and display them judiciously, but fearlessly. If a particular piece speaks to you, it doesn’t matter if it’s high art or high camp – give it the [...]
