If someone were to say to you, “You are going to get the same reward whether it is easy for you to get it, or if it is hard for you to get it. You choose which method you want to use.”, what do you think your response would be? Well, unless you are feeling some irrational need to work harder than you actually have to in life, you are probably going to take the easy route, right? In fact, at least here in America, a very large part of our culture is based on that very concept: finding the easy … [Read more...] about Shortcut to Success using the "Easy Button"
Goals
Growing or Shrinking, Living or Dying
One of the many constants in our Universe is that there is really no such thing as "standing still". Oh, it may seem like you're standing still - figuratively or literally - but since the entire Universe is made up of constantly vibrating energy, I promise you, nothing is ever completely "still". We live in an expanding Universe where the mass of energy that makes up all things is constantly seeking expression through every means possible - including the human existence. That energy wants to … [Read more...] about Growing or Shrinking, Living or Dying
The Sands of Time
Linear Time. For anyone who isn't as much of a die-hard Star Trek fan as I am, I will explain the basic concept of linear time. It simply means that things happen in order, and once they have happened, they are done. You can't go back, and you can't go forward. You live in the now (as it should be), and the things that happened in the past or that might happen in the future are - very much so - completely irrelevant. That's linear time. Barring some future understanding of trans-dimensional … [Read more...] about The Sands of Time
The Science of Getting Rich
If you have never read the book ‘The Science of Getting Rich’ by Wallace D. Wattles, I highly recommend that you check it out. One of the best tests of the true quality of the written word is whether or not what is said will still matter generations later, and that is certainly the case with ‘The Science of Getting Rich’ which was written almost 100 years ago in 1910. Another great thing about the book is that even as powerful as it is, the entire read is only 77 pages, and even at my painfully … [Read more...] about The Science of Getting Rich
Going the distance or taking half steps?
I was recently writing up some information on how your state of mind is a critical factor in weight loss efforts, but despite the extreme focus that is sometimes required of a good weight loss plan, having a proper state of mind is not unique to physical fitness endeavors - not by a long shot. In fact, it is often the case that when we are properly motivated to accomplish some task, that we will work incredibly hard to make sure that it gets done. We'll put in overtime, we'll live without … [Read more...] about Going the distance or taking half steps?
30 Workouts
I have just kicked of the Pre-Holiday Weight Loss Challenge, and so far it is going great! A lot of people have joined up and everyone is excited about focusing on some positive improvements over the next 30 days. One of the things that struck me as I was heading out for my very first workout of the Challenge was how powerful it was to think in terms of how many actual workouts I have time for over the next 30 days, rather than just think "I have 30 days". The reason why that was such a … [Read more...] about 30 Workouts
