Wayne Dyer’s Power of Intention – A Book that Can Change Your Life

(Photo Copyright Elliot Lozano – Chaco Canyon, New Mexico)

We can either learn through the school of hard knocks or we can learn easier through the wisdom of others that we in turn implement and try out for ourselves.

On this site, we aim to save you time and help you avoid the school of hard knocks by providing condensed and relevant wisdom from our research and experience for you to study and implement into your life. (This is the same thing we have been doing with our families for years.)

One such source of wisdom is Wayne Dyer’s Power of Intention book in which he researched “hundreds of books by psychological, sociological, and spiritual writers; ancient and modern scholars; and academic researchers.” – Wayne Dyer, Power of Intention

He condensed hundreds of books into his Power of Intention Manual. Something I am sure none of us have had the time to do. Continue reading Wayne Dyer’s Power of Intention – A Book that Can Change Your Life →

What Will Your Last Words Be?

After living a miserable life, Ivan Ilyich’s, the main character from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich, last words on his deathbed were, “What if my whole life has been wrong?” (Ours will be, “That was a hell of a ride!”)

No one wants to think of themselves saying these profound words on their deathbeds.

Why, then, do so many people choose to live mediocre lives ultimately leaving themselves open for such a harsh end?

We believe it lies largely upon a person’s inability to grow and develop and push their lives to the maximum for their own sake, for their own unique purpose. It is important for finding your life purpose before your dying words because we can all make a difference.

Most people are not living up to their true potential. Most people have given up. Most people have not accomplished the things in their life that are important to them (or are at least going after them).

We provide ideas that will help you along your life path. Continue reading What Will Your Last Words Be? →

How Do You Eat an Elephant? (Dealing with Information Overload)

Answer – One bite at a time…

To take control of your life you must take that first bite out of that huge elephant called information and action. Everyone faces similar obstacles on how to digest and implement the gauntlet of new information and ideas that we are constantly exposed to and expected to consume. We are faced with information overload almost daily. The problem isn’t having enough information, the problem is sorting through it for information implementation. Not only must we read, watch and learn from many sources, we must also implement the relevant information into our lives.

Knowledge without action is useless. It is through action that we grow, our lives get better, and we attain a sense of fulfillment.

But, how do you take action?

Kindness: The Fantastic Natural Drug

Small random acts of kindness go a long way. But how?

There have been studies done that show both the giver and recipient of kindness feel emotions of happiness and naturally have elevated seratonin levels. (Of course, you can also achieve the same effects with drugs such as Prozac, but then that wouldn’t be natural would it?)

You’re probably like, “I could have told you that without a study.”

Well, the interesting part is that any person simply WITNESSING the act of kindness is positively affected as well.

Imagine that! – Acts of kindness are contagious, just as a yawn or a laugh.

We can create an abundance of happiness naturally in our own bodies by simply observing acts of kindness. We can also perform and receive acts of kindness to affect others and make them and ourselves happy.

Think of a time when you witnessed a true act of kindness; a puppy being rescued or a child being loved.  Most of us can’t help but smile by just watching the act and we want to mimic that act in some way.

The side affect of this “natural drug” called kindness is more happiness. What a thought!

This brings me to a story that made me feel warm and fuzzy.

Stop Sedating Yourself Through Life

Most people just go through life trying to sedate themselves with anything to avoid their misery. They get lost in movies, television, drinking, too much sleep. They get lost in whatever they can to let life pass them by that much quicker. For what, so they can reach the end of their lives as quickly as possible?

Why would you want to live such a life?

Why don’t you just take a moment to appreciate how much you have going in your life, no matter how small. Revel in the greatness of the smallest moment.

As the small moments add up, they get bigger and bigger.

You can begin to feel joy in your life again.

What this really comes down to is being alive.

This means doing what YOU LOVE, what makes your heart race, and what makes you want to jump out of bed. Seize the day and live your life to the fullest. Carpe Diem! Continue reading Stop Sedating Yourself Through Life →
