  • The Waste of Worry
    The normal adult mind is "pre-set" on worry. We're assaulted by thoughts that lead to worry at random times of the day and in the depths of night. Whilst worry may make the possibility of what we're worrying about become more likely, the main problem with worry is that it disables us from being at our most effective here and now. And it is in the here and now that we find our solution to worry. By tuning in to now, we stop worry in its tracks.

  • No More Stress
    You always find something to get stressed out about. It's the way we are. But it's our default state of mind that creates stress, not outside life's challenges but how we perceive them and then react to them. You've got to break the useless habit of an adult lifetime, stop jumping to the kind of conclusions that lead you away from reality and into the world of self-induced stress. You've got to come to your senses here and now. All five of them!

  • How to Achieve Extraordinary Success
    You don't have to work hard to be a success. Nor do you have to ride roughsod over everyone in the process. Perhaps we need to re-evaluate what we see as success, bring more balance to our perspective and, in the process, realize that there is a totally different level of "super-success" that can be effortlessly achieved, if we could simply step outside the herd of the normal.

  • To be a Success - Just Let Go
    You've got to let go of the preconceived notions that delude the normal mind in relation to what it takes to be successful and happy. You've got to ensure that your success and happiness is not dependent on fixed and rigid "I must haves". Above all, you've got to let go of the idea that your own faults and failings are holding you back - because they, too, are preconceived delusions. Don't live in your past, learn from it and live life now.

  • Positive Mental Attitude - Exploding the Myth
    Positive mental attitude or positive thinking are dangerous. They are conscious mind activities that cajole us into being over-resilient in the face of adversity and blind to the opportunities that are before our very eyes. Our lives are created by our subconscious and it is only be rearranging our subconscious that we can live and act from the appropriate mental attitude, a state of mind that is clear, present and uncluttered by useless thought.

  • Change Your Life : It's About the Choices You Make Today
    Stress, anxiety, shyness, hating your job, feeling insignificant - are all choices that you make. These choices are made by your subconcious mind, you're just not aware of it. You have to make yourself aware. Awareness will transform your life and enable you realize that your perceived inadequacies are illusions. Once you become aware that you have a choice, you can start choosing to ignore your ghosts by paying attention to the here and now.

  • Self-Esteem and Your Inner Voices
    Many suffer from what they perceive as low self esteem. Many talk of inner voices that tell them "No you can't!" But these inner voices are not yours - they are the echo of your formative years which, together, form your personality or a mask that you think is you. It's not. The real you is "powerful beyond reason" and is only one choice away. That choice is between listening to your self-defeating voices or paying attention to the here and now.

  • Playing with Other People's Lives
    The normal adult experiences the here and now clouded by the shadows of their formative years. As a result, they react to what they think is happening and to people that they think are there, rather than the real people before their very eyes. This leads us to misbehave, to treat even our loved ones mindlessly. To start behaving properly we need to step out of those shadows and experience reality - it's an eye-opener that will change your life.

  • Self-Help and Self-Defence
    Be careful who you tell what you wish for - because normal crazy people will try to bring you down. When it comes to your goals and dreams, play your cards close to your chest, the vast majority of people (sometimes people close to you) don't want you to succeed and their negativity will cause you to question you won ability to succeed and the one thing that will stop you unleashing your inner potential is that kind of self-doubt. So be careful!

  • Your Life is Your Choice
    What have Tiger Woods, you and I got in common? We all make choices and, often, our choices may not be for the best, for our lives or for the lives of those around us. But we don't make big bad choices out of the blue, we make little choices, moment to moment, that move our lives in our chosen direction. Most of us don't realize this and, consequently, drift - finally wondering why life is not so bad. Well, not so bad is not good enough.

  • Taking Courageous Decisions
    Your success and happiness, indeed, your life, depends on the decisions that you make. The most successful people take what normal people think are brave and courageous decisions. But normal people live in fear, paralysed by the normality of everyday life, fearful that being different will change their lives. Of course it will! You don't need to be brave or courageous, you need to simply set your mind on the right path - everything else follows.

  • How to Get All the Money You Need
    How much money do you need to live your perfect life? Do you even know what your perfect life would look like? It is this uncertainty of purpose that leaves normal people floundering in the normal world of "not-too-bad" and of perceived lack. You need to set your priorities, get your work life balance right and then, most importantly, ensure that you are in the necessary clear and present state of mind to enable universal flow provide your needs.

  • Be Your Own Motivational Speaker!
    We all need to be motivated. But there's no motivation like self-motivation! You don't need some pseudo-sprititual experience from some motivational speaker "guru", you need to know how to push your own buttons to switch yourself on in the ordinary course of your everyday life. The great news is that there's no one better placed to switch you on than you. It's the essence of self-help. You're the one who can take control and change your life.

  • Life Change: It's Happening All the Time
    Most people want to change some aspect of their lives. What they don't realize is that their lives are in a constant state of change and that, in order to create the life that you really want, you have to synchronize your mind's energy with the reality of a universe that is constantly vibrating in and out of existence. By stepping in time with this constant state of change, your energy can be properly invested in living life to the full - now.

  • Dealing with Difficult People
    We've all got difficult people or situations to deal with in our daily lives. The trick is to deal with them before they become difficult! However, to do this, you need to be more attentive to what is actually happening in the present moment than the normal person is. In doing so, you will notice inappropriate behaviour before it gets out of hand and be up to the task of saying what needs to be said in the nicest possible way.

  • Abundance - and How to Achieve It
    Abundance is much understood. Some confuse it security and peace of mind, some with having loads of money. Abundance is, first and foremost, a state of mind, not becuase you can talk yourself into abundance but because it is through the appropriate state of mind that you create your own abundance effortlessly. A clear and present state of mind speaks to a responsive universe that is willing and able to give you all that your heart truly desires.

  • Change Your Life Starting Today
    If there are things about your life that you would like to change, you have to change them yourself. If you've tried and become frustrated, it's because you've taken on too big a task. You need to start small or, better again, start by tugging at the little habits that form the foundations of your present life. In breaking mindless routine you will dismantle the fabric that confines your life to its present form and change your life effortlessly.

  • The Law of Attraction: What's Best for You
    The Law of Attraction suggests that we can get what we want out of life. Quantum physics confirms that this is how the universe works. But, which is better, getting what you want or getting what is truly best for you? You'd be better off developing your ability to be clear, present and in flow. Then universal energy can take you on a journey of self-discovery and abundance that is beyond the imagination of the normal mind. You need to be in flow.

  • Has a Self Help "Guru" Ripped You Off?
    Self help means that you must help yourself. You need to gather the appropriate information or guidance but after that you're on your own. You do not need to develop a dependence on some "guru" which, more often than not, will leave you worse off than you were at the outset. No rites of passage are required. You do not need to pay some "guru" thousands of dollars to awaken that which only you can awaken yourself - the potential within.

  • How to Build Self Confidence
    Trying to build your self-confidence is like papering over the cracks in a building that doesn't exist. The voices in your head that tell you "know you can't" are neither real nor relevant to here and now. You need to stop giving them your attention by paying attention, instead, to the present moment. If you're more present, you develop your presence - the hallmark of all those successful people who know better than to focus of self-confidence.

  • How to be Wealthy
    Normal people are obsessed with money - wanting more, not having enough. This obsession is actually standing in the way of them having all the money that the need to live a happy and successful life. You see, if you put your happiness and success first - in terms of really and truly doing what you're supposed to be doing in the here and now - then, as you enter "flow", money flows too.

  • Focus Your Mind: Real Self Help
    It's strange that you wouldn't consider leaving home naked in the morning, but you'd have no problem leaving the house mentally unprepared for the day ahead - that's what most people do, it's normal.

  • Finding Your True Passion
    The normal life is lived on auto-pilot. The lucky few search for greater purpose - some seek out their passion. But passion isn't to be sought, it's to be found - it finds you. The normal mind is ill-equipped to decide what is best for us in life. Rather, we must clear our minds, present ourselves to the here and now and benefit from the proven consequences. Then, we can live life with a true passion.

  • Overcome Your Fear to Achieve Effortless Success

It also proves that, if we expect something different, something different will indeed happen. We need to step outside the norms of how we use our minds, stop our minds abusing us and start using our mental power for our own true benefit.

  • How to Live Life to the Full
    The normal life is peppered with ups and downs - often it seems that there are more downs. Yet science tells us that the way we live our lives creates the very lives we live.

But it is in the present where life is to be lived...

  • Start Your Day on the Right Foot
    You wouldn't leave the house nude, would you? Then why would you leave home each morning with your head totally unprepared for the day ahead? By default, we're mindless people, doing everything on autopilot. And we wonder why our lives are "not so bad" or why we're having "one of those days"! It's our own doing. We need to get our minds in gear to be able to rise to each day's challenges and, more importantly, embrace each day's opportunities.

Believing is not wishing, hoping or wanting, it's seeing, feeling, hearing, smelling and tasting what it feels like to have already achieved what your heart desires...

  • What Normal People Want
    Surprisingly, by their actions, normal people don't want success or happiness - they want to stay "not too bad" and want abnormally successful people to be normal too. There's no one more threatening to a normal person than someone who "has it all" and, yet, research proves that normal people are technically insane. Which would you choose - effortless success in your business and personal life - or to be normal and not too bad? No choice really!

  • How to Create Your Ideal Life
    Research suggests that the vast majority of people live far from their ideal lives. Yet, normal people somehow believe that new things will happen for them if they keep doing the same things - normal people rarely change their behaviour. If you want your ideal life, you have to do things differently, take new actions and, above all, discipline your mind. Then you can cultivate the clear and present state of mind that will create your ideal life.

  • How to Get Your Own Way
    People rarely take action - they react. Years of research prove that our reactive behaviour takes us away from getting what we want out of life - when all we have to do, instead, is take "right action". But to take right action, you need a clear and present mind. And to be mindful, you need to practice. Meditation is what's called for (in whatever form turns you on) enabling you take the right action to create the life you really really want.

  • Breaking Away from Frustration and Worry
    Frustration and worry are an integral part of many people's daily lives. And, yet, they are no more than useless thoughts which, if entertained, disable us by making us even more frustrated, more worried. Psychology tells us that the normal subconscious is buried in the past, whilst the conscious worries about the future. We need to rise above normality and rid our lives of the effects of frustration and worry. A clear and present mind is needed.

  • The Motivational You
    We need to get a kick out of life. Yet research suggests that we're stressed, unhappy at work, worried about money and frustrated in our apparent inability to achieve our goals and dreams. We need to motivate ourselves - but does that mean one part of me needs to motivate another part of me? The evidence suggests that that is the case - your real potential is being held back by your perceived personality - it's a battle the real you must win.

    Normal people work harder (not smarter). Most of them don't like their work - and that's what puts the "hard" into work. And whilst you may not be able to control your work, career or your boss, there's certainly one thing you can control that will have a major effect on all those others and that's your own state of mind.

Instead of reflecting and considering what is the best approach to handle all the various challenges that life throws at us, we react automatically and mindlessly.
