What is it you want out of life? Once you decide what it is you want to do and where you want to be, you then must realize what you have to do to change your thinking to achieve these desires. When we were babies, we knew exactly what we wanted. We cried loudly with no inhabitions holding back until we got what we wanted. As we got older, we were clear about what we wanted and headed straight toward it with no fear. Along the way, we would hear someone say, don�t do this or that and as we got older the negative words would be more intense. As we go thru our lives, we somehow get stuck trying to figure out what other people want us to do. As a result we now do a lot of things Continue Reading »

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write if he is ultimately to be at peace with himself.

~ Abraham Maslow ~

Do you sometimes feel like you are chained up in a cage? Or feel like you are inside prison walls?

If so, why do you think that is?

Is it possible that you are not being completely true to yourself? That you are living a lie?

Do you hear a voice saying yes? Then you know something’s not right.

Now, the question is�

We are frequently told about how we should ignore fear and go for what we want and to some extent that�s really true. However, I think fear (like ice-cream) has more than one flavour and some fears can actually help us. There are times when fear is appropriate�like when we are faced with physical danger or someone is threatening one of our nearest and dearest. I like to distinguish between four types of fear.

Raw, visceral fear: This is the fear we experience if a threat to our own lives or the lives of our loved ones is imminent. I believe most of us in the Western world will rarely experience this, except perhaps in a car crash. Our instincts bring us through this one.

Irrelevant fear: For example, I am afraid of jumping out of a helicopter or going skydiving. However I do not have the slightest desire to do either of those things so the fear does not impinge Continue Reading »

The Holiday Season is upon us and with so many participating in the sprit of giving, it’s not a bad time to really understand the true nature of what is meant by, “it’s better to give than to receive.”

In my estimation, the true spirit of giving requires that it is given from the heart, with no expectation of receiving something in return.
