There’s a lot of talk nowadays about “manifesting”. In a nutshell, we’re told that if we think positive thoughts, we’ll get what we want. Of course there are some “abundance teachers” who are somewhat realistic about this concept, and suggest that action is required. But the emphasis is always on “being” who you want […]
The Virtues of Impatience
The Virtues of Impatience I’ve written and spoken quite a lot about how Patience is one of the universal life lessons – the ones that we all need to learn. When you can be patient the rewards are many. All things come to those who wait, etc. But according to the Law of Polarity, […]
You Are a No-Good, Dirty Rotten Liar!
Lately I’ve been doing some more rigorous filtering of the people I’ll work with. It’s not that I don’t have good clients already; it’s more a change in my attitude toward my work. Honestly, when I started out I was like most people who want to work independently: if you were breathing and could […]
Motorvation – Three Ways to Get Going
As you probably already know from looking at this website, I’m a motorcycle enthusiast. I love motorcycles. I hesitate to use the term “biker” nowadays because it’s become so diluted that it has little meaning. But I’ve sampled the subculture that the term used to imply – it was fun, but not of […]
Are You Too Special to Succeed?
One of the most prevalent and destructive subconscious beliefs that I see in many people (including myself at one time) is that they are different… special… the rules don’t apply to them. Now, this is a delicate and subtle area because we each are definitely unique and special, have widely divergent skills and […]
Faith and Doubt – Two Sides, Same Coin
A Personal Lesson Story… The lessons go on and on… the only things that change as we grow are the magnitude and speed at which they show up. This week I was prompted to move my practice to another level. Over the years I’ve tried a whole big buttload of different formats; half-hour and […]
Money, Courage, and Taking Risks
One of my main ways of communicating is through my Facebook page (you’re invited to join me through the link over there on the right). I post whatever occurs to me, usually several times a week. The thoughts I share usually are found helpful by at least a few people. It’s easy to tell which […]
The Difference Between “Need” and “Want”
A very nice lady recently posted a comment on my Facebook page to the effect that she doesn’t always have what she wants, but she always has what she needs – and is satisfied with that. Fair enough – sounds like a peaceful way to live. But it got the wheels a-turning in my head; something didn’t […]
Your Thoughts – The Bricks and Mortar of Your Life
When we begin to look for answers (especially in times of troubles), generally the topmost question we have is, “How did things get to be the way they are for me?” Many of us go through a stage where we blame other people, luck, and a million other things for what’s around us. But If we’re diligent […]
What’s Really Holding You Back?
Many years ago when I was in high school, I was what was known as a “chronic underachiever”. My grades were terrible…I intensely disliked the social atmosphere in school, and the material and mind-numbing repetition of most courses bored me. In senior year, one morning my homeroom teacher gave me a file folder and told […]
