Self Improvement

The collective consciousness is very influential on your own wealth and happiness. Your extent of wealth and happiness is co created by yourself and everyone else. You are more likely to experience desirable events and opportunities if the people around you are of suitable consciousness. Therefore it is always in your favor to raise the consciousness of people you interact with in order to create a better shared reality for yourself and those that are in your life.

Things get better when you get better. Things get worse when you get worse. The world is all within you. You at cause over everything that happens in your life whether you are conscious of it or not. Everyone else is also at cause in their world which means groups of people are collectively at cause over their collective world. The prosperity of a nation, corporation and family is determined by the collective consciousness of the people. Wars and even natural disasters are influenced by it as well.

You will get fastest results if you work with and associate with people who have wealth consciousness. That means you should offer to help improve the wealth consciousness of people around you. Your network of people is your access to resources. Resources multiply when they are shared because you increase the value of the people you relate with. In order to really get ahead, you have to cause others around you to advance as well. When you cause others to rise, you will rise as well.

Since you know that collective consciousness affects the results that you get in your life, why would you choose to be passive when others are harming each other? You will eventually get affected in a negative manner therefore you should not watch from the sidelines until the share of returns hits you. To the extent that you allow other peoples choices and consciousness to override your own, is the extent that you will share in their consequences. “I don’t care″ does not exclude you.

Think of yourself as a being and the world around you as an extension of your being. We are all one body and one mind. When one part of the body is affected, all parts of the body are affected. When one part of the mind is affected, all parts of the mind is affected. Take care of every part of your mind and body. We must account for the health of the whole body. If the body dies, we go down with it, which does not serve our own needs. We are all really one big organism.

As important as it is to take care of the needs of others, it is also important to take care of your own needs. It is not wise to sacrifice your own well being unnecessarily in your service for others. It is even worse to convince many others to do the same. When you put yourself in a place of poverty and lack, sooner or later even the ones that you benefited will become affected by your state of suffering as well. Imagine the heart sacrificing itself to save the brain. It is useless and stupid.

Do your best to help the rest but take good care of yourself as well. Our own well being plays a big part in our ability to serve. If we don’t thrive as individuals, we aren’t much good to anyone else. When you raise your level of well being, you raise your ability to serve. Allow yourself to receive payment so that you can serve and influence even more. Love others and love yourself. Both the individual cell and all other cells must be taken cared of in order for all to experience the highest level of well being.

Realize that your good and the good of everyone around you are inseparably linked. Your own good and the good of the whole body is the same good. Make decisions that would improve your long term well being and that of the whole body simultaneously. The cell that serves as a role model of taking into account the good of all will lead all other cells into causing the whole body to thrive optimally in every way. We are the universe. I am all of you. We are all One therefore we should think for the Self of all.

The advancement of just one individual in society causes a series of advancements of varying degrees for all others in society. Even raising the consciousness of a few people is enough but when you help raise the consciousness of as many people as you can, you will shift the universe dramatically. Share knowledge and materials that can help others build wealth consciousness in themselves. By raising their consciousness, they will create their reality better which will affect your own reality better.

The good or bad that is in your extended body affects you to the degree it is away from you. There is no way we can effectively take care of others further away from us when we are hindered by the well being of those nearer to us. Therefore it is more important that we focus more on raising the consciousness and benefiting those who are dearer and more important to us personally. The order of importance when it comes to taking care of well being should be marriage, family, society, country and the world.

Your work is not your own but it is the work of the universe or God. All our work are the same because we are all here to help each other evolve and transform into better versions of ourselves. If you want to raise your quality of life to the next level, help to raise the consciousness of those around you. When the people around you become better, you become better because you got better people to relate with. This world will become a better place for all of us when we all become better together.

We hear lies all the time. Of course we know that when a politician says “no new taxes,” he is lying. But then there are the more subtle lies that aren’t so easily spotted. Here are five lies you should watch out for.

The Bigger Size Is Always Cheaper

It used to be true. The “family” or “institutional” cans, jars and packages of food cost less per ounce. Some retailers have recently been overpricing large items knowing that many will assume they are the better buy without doing the math. Look at the price per ounce or pound.

News Can Be Objective

There are unlimited “stories,” but limited time or paper. Should a reporter cover the building of a new school, or the opening of a new clothing store, or the famine in some African country? Even if every fact is correct, choosing to cover one story over another reveals a bias, as does choosing how to cover it. It is better to simply understand what those biases are than to pretend that news can be objective.

Alternative Medicine Is Dangerous

Dangerous compared to what? Heart doctors have thousands die on the operating table and no one says a thing. If one person dies from after using an herb, though - even if thousands have been saved by it - there are calls for it to be banned. All treatments have their risks, but let’s be fair in our comparisons.

Statistics Are Objective

It is all in how they are used. If an oil company’s profit on assets rises from 4% one year to 8% the next, did profits rise by 4% or 100%? That depends on who’s counting. Rising 4% to an 8% profit still leaves them below the profit levels of most businesses, they might honestly point out. Of course, they did make a 100% more money this year, a reporter might note, to whip up an anti-oil company “story”.

If It Saves One Life It’s Worth It

Each of us can rightfully put unlimited value on our own lives. Actions to save others lives, though, have to take into account the cost. As a nation, we could save 45,000 lives by strictly limiting highway speeds to 20 miles per hour, but that is too high a price for us. The question then, is how much is it actually worth to us to save a life. Looked at in this honest way, more lives will be saved, because regulations will be aimed at maximum efficiency in achieving results.

There are hundreds of common lies that we are told by “experts,” politicians, and salesmen. Sometimes we can spot the lie a mile away, and other times they are subtle and believable. Sometimes they are lies we want to hear.

There really is a basis for the old saying, “Too many irons in the fire”. As a blacksmith I’ve experienced the results of not listening to this warning, “up close & personal”.

When I help out at the local History Center during “Farm Days” , they bring school buses full of eager faces to our forge. These days most kids don’t have any idea what a blacksmith does, so I usually explain the concept like this. “When it’s hot, you can do everything with iron that you can do with clay, … except touch it.”

In the “olde days”, before blacksmiths had thermometers, they found that the color of the iron changes with the temperature. It starts out with “black” heat (about 800 degrees F, and plenty hot enough to burn yourself on), and progresses through the color spectrum of blue-purple-red-orange-yellow & tops out at “white” welding heat ( 2000 degrees F, just before it burns up). At the right temperature, metal becomes very pliable (about 1,300 degrees F, orange-yellow).

When you’re working on metal (iron/steel) in a forge, basically, you put the cold metal rods into the forge fire, and wait for them to heat up to a pliable temperature. Then, …“strike while the iron is hot.” (Another tried-and-true blacksmithing proverb.)

If you try to work the metal at a lower temperature, you end up having to pound twice as hard, to get half as much work done. On the other hand, if you let the metal get too hot, … it will simply melt and/or disintegrate.

The phrase above, refers to the problem of putting too many rods into a fire, so that you can’t keep track of what stage of heating each piece is at. You can only work so many pieces, before you start burning some up and wasting your resources. There is always an optimum amount of work that you can handle at any given time, and still accomplish your goal.

This adage is aptly evident these days, referring to the overloading of our schedules with way too much stuff to be able to finish in the first place. We start out our days with “aspirations of grandeur”, sure we can accomplish super human tasks, like that Japanese guy on “Heroes” who can bend time. If we just keep moving, … we’ll get it all done! (The accident division of the insurance industry, could probably give you some good statistics about this approach.)

I have a friend who is constantly on the move, … physically and mentally. After spending the day with her (and based on the exhaustion I experienced trying to keep up), I was surprised at the end of the day how much of her original “to do” list … wasn’t done. She had however, managed to break 2 glasses, forget about the laundry in the washer, and add 5 or 6 other things to her ever growing list.

She was full of energy and good intentions in the morning, but somewhere in there she lost track of her “line of sight”. The detours and delays, created frustration to her already overloaded system. (As well as the cut on her finger, from using a kitchen knife as a screwdriver.) After watching her struggle, I was reminded of this ancient forging phrase.

In blacksmithing terms, it’s the equivalent of starting out in the morning to make some horseshoes. You find you have to stop to make a punch, try to remember to order more coal, have several farmers drop by to pick up the tools you were fixing for them (with appropriate chitchat), … and finishing your day with about half of your iron ruined (still having a shoeless equine).

If you overload your schedule, even if it’s based on necessity, you will find that you don’t really accomplish your purpose. You must base your day on workable goals, and build in some flexibility for when the world decides to interfere with your plans (because it always will). Remember, … “Don’t put too many irons in your fire!”.

Let’s use running as an example (for twelve years I ran competitively). You’re running five kilometres in twenty-five minutes, how do you get to the next level, say five k’s in twenty minutes (join a running club)? Once you get there, how do you get to an even faster level of seventeen minutes thirty (get coached)? Most runners are chasing a P.B. (personal best). Considering that not all athletes are created equal.

We as a man or woman of God are training for a personal best. (How to get to the next level?)

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Acts 2:1-4 On the day of Pentecost the disciples of Jesus Christ were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Yes we may be filled with the Holy Ghost, but there’s always more. To receive more; John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

If we desire more and we are filled, the only way we can receive more is to make room, eg, you have a cup filled with water and into the cup you place twenty marbles, the cup is full to over flowing, yet it is still only half full of water. To receive more, one by one the marbles must be removed. So if we desire to increase with the increase of God, this can only happen if we decrease, thus making more room for the fullness of God.

God is continually seeking to take from us things that limit our relationship with Him, so we can be filled with His glory.

Remember; Matthew 20:25-26 … But it shall not be so among you, but whoever will be great let him be your servant. 1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may lift you up in due time.

Confession time, I am an avid reader. No scratch that, I am an obsessive reader! If there are words printed I have to read them. This is one of the real reasons I gave up eating breakfast cereals and not the fact that they are loaded with sugar. I just got tired of reading the same box every day. So what do I read? Being a coach and facilitator of personal and professional growth workshops I spend 95% of my time reading and absorbing non-fiction, self-help, marketing and business development books.

There is a word I often see used in these “change your life” books. The word is ’sacrifice’. I cringe when I see it used in a specific context. Often motivational gurus will explain the simple process of success. They say you will have to make sacrifices in your life to get the things you want. Let’s look at what ’sacrifice’ is typically portrayed. How many times have you see in movies where one of the characters ’sacrifices’ his life for the others. They refer to it as ‘making the ultimate sacrifice.” Or what about the stories of primitive cultures sacrificing young maidens to appease the gods?

Yes I know I am taking it to extremes. The words we use with our clients, pupils or audience will evoke a response. There are not many positive associations for the word ‘sacrifice’ that does not make people think they are going to lose out or lose big time. In reality the people are not sacrificing they are trading. They are not sacrificing their leisure time they are trading an hour of television time for a constructive activity that takes them closer to their desired goal. We have all traded before and the vast majority of the time we liked what we got in exchange.

When we go to the movies we do not think that we are sacrificing our money we think that we are trading it for something of equal or greater value. So drop the word ’sacrifice’ and replace it with ‘trade’. You will accomplish more and so will those you coach or encourage.

It is time for you to set yourself free and allow some discomfort in so that you may fully embrace your greatness…

I know “out of the box” is one of the most used up clichés out there, but I couldn’t find anything better. If you live in the box you live a life of predictability, familiarity, and comfortably. In other words, you like to play it safe. Now, if that is what you want, then I say, “Fine…go for it.” However, if you are at all discontent with your life, dissatisfied with your results, and unhappy with where you are at, then it is time to step out.

Imagine that you are standing in front of a huge white board that is 4 feet high and 6 feet long. You now pick up a marker and you take off the cap and put a little dot in the middle of the white board. That dot represents what you know and the grease board represents what all is possible, hence, The Land of Possibility.

In The Land of Possibility everything you do, say and/or try is brand new, unknown and novel to you. However, with this comes uncertainty, discomfort, and awkwardness, all because of the newness and the unfamiliarity that you have there. This is all GOOD!! And, this is exactly what may send you back into your “comfort zone”. Most people do not like to feel uncomfortable so they stay in their comfort zone.

It is important to remember one thing: These are only feelings, they will not harm you and they will pass…honest, they will!!

Therefore, I am recommending that you fire the familiar, which I also call the “Family Liar”. The word familiar comes from the same word that family comes from, and the last four letters spell liar. Something to think about, huh??!!

What I mean here is that you have most likely developed some habits and beliefs that were role modeled to you by your family and that these very habits and beliefs may very likely be holding you back from living in the Land of Possibility. It is time for you to set yourself free and allow some discomfort in so that you may fully embrace your greatness.

See you there…

Spirituality teaches that the art of living is to find real abiding happiness and satisfaction. This elusive inner happiness will come when we can discover our inner self. It is spirituality that helps us to find this inner reality, which is our inner self.

Many people seek after happiness in life. Consciously or unconsciously we wish to be happy. The essence of spirituality is discovering the joy in life. The happiness synonymous with spirituality is an inner happiness that does not depend on success in the material world. Spirituality tells us that real inner joy comes not through the fulfilment of our desires but in reducing our desires.

Spirituality is simplicity. When life is complex, complicated and cluttered we feel under stress. We have no time to appreciate the finer things in life. If we can minimize the demands from the outer world; if we can minimize our desires we can enjoy the inherent simplicity of life.

Spirituality involves living in the present. This is an essential necessity to master the art of living. When we worry about the future we create problems that may not occur. When we regret the past we waste our precious time. It is only by focusing on the present moment that we can practice the essence of spirituality. In our highest meditation we go beyond the domain of time. Spirituality is not encumbered by ideas of the past and future. Spirituality believes in the eternal now.

In the world there are teeming imperfections. There seems an endless list of problems. If we are not careful we could spend all our time finding fault and criticizing others. Our criticisms may be justified but they will never bring peace of mind. Furthermore through criticizing the world we do not advance its progress even one iota. Spirituality teaches us to avoid judgement. If there is anything to judge it is just ourself. Spirituality says we should not criticize the world but love the world and appreciate the good qualities of others.

Judge nothing
You will be happy.
Forgive everything
You will be happier.
Love everything
You will be the happiest.
- Sri Chinmoy

Spirituality does not require us to renounce the world. Spirituality involves acceptance. If we accept the world as it is, then we can help offer something positive to the world. If we wish to change the world the great saints encourage us to first change ourselves.

“be the change you wish to see in the world.”
- Mahatma Gandhi

Spirituality says that inner happiness comes from living not for ourselves but living for others. When we only seek to please our ego then we can only get a limited happiness, our pleasure will be limited. Our ego doesn′t know real happiness; no matter how many desires are fulfilled we always want more. However through selfless action, through serving others we can go from a limited human perspective to becoming aware of an extended reality.

To expand our consciousness is the real art of living. In the outer world we may know many things, but spirituality shows us how to learn the only thing that really matters. Who am I?

You have to have a clear plan for success and stay focused on fulfilling your plan. A fundamental of success is having a clear plan to follow to start your journey toward success. It isn’t that you have to develop every detail before you start, or that you can’t make changes along the way. A clear plan begins by fully understanding and identifying the ultimate result you want.

Focus on the most important things each day. Each and every day starts with more things to do than you could ever do. Given this fact of life it’s critical that you focus on the most important things each day. Identify no more than 1-3 things that if you were to accomplish just those things, it would make your day a success. Diligently work to accomplish those things before you end your day each and every day.

As you’re working so diligently to stay focused everyone around you will seem to be focused on keeping you from being focused. Don’t allow yourself or others to get you off track. When you allow yourself to drift away from the things that you know you need to do to make today a success, you’re choosing failure in that moment. Success seems so fleeting and unachievable to many people because they work against staying focused. It’s so much easier to put things aside and drift somewhere else. The problem is that all too often another fundamental of success is that success moments pass, and those missed opportunities never return.

Focus is supported through self-discipline. Develop the self-discipline it takes to stay focused. You don’t have to be focused 24/7, but you do need to be focused long enough to complete the actions you need to take today to make today a success. If you can discipline yourself to take the actions you need to take to make each day a success you’ll incrementally and steadily be moving toward success.

Success is rarely achieved instantaneously. Success is almost always achieved as a result of a series of daily right actions taking you ever closer to the ultimate result you want. You have self-discipline when you know you absolutely have to. Use that self-discipline to maintain the focus you absolutely have to have to get the success you envision one day at a time.

Lost, but you don’t know where you′re going.

Lost is a horrible place to feel. You recognise it because Life just doesn’t seem to be working. Nothing is satisfying, or at least nothing is satisfying for very long. You look back and you have no idea what you did wrong. Or you may look back and see one wrong turn after another, one wrong choice after another. But when you examine each of those choices in isolation, you know that you made the best choice you could given the circumstances that surrounded you at the time.

The worst of it is, that if someone gave you a magic wand and three wishes, you know, deep down, that no matter what you wished for, as soon as you got over the excitement of change, that you would feel just as lost, just as dissatisfied with life.

You may not realise it but Lost is a Spiritual Problem.

By Spiritual I don’t mean religious. By Spiritual I do mean that it is to do with the essence of who you really are, the essence of the love that you are.

Entertain the idea for a moment or two that maybe, just maybe, Life is a Journey with a Purpose. The map of that journey is coded, say, in your DNA, or maybe it’s something instinctive or intuitive, but it’s there and we can somehow feel it. Then during our formative years we are socialised into looking outside ourselves for answers rather than within. We are taught not to trust our instincts, but to obey rules. Other people always know what is best for us. Be that well-meaning parents, teachers, religious leaders, supervisors, managers, politicians. Some of the people who guide you will have your best interests at heart some will have their own. Either way you are taught to think for yourself, but only if the solutions you produce are acceptable. When you are intelligent, or curious, or talented, or playful, or thirsty for knowledge about something you have an interest in and you ask your teachers questions that they don’t know the answers to, you may be deliberately discouraged from asking ’stupid’ questions.

If questions are asked with a genuine thirst for knowledge, then there are no stupid questions.

It is because we are discouraged from listening within that we lose sight of what we are here to accomplish. And when we wander way off the map within - then we are lost. Then nothing seems to work. Then life seems unsatisfying. Then we feel unfulfilled.

The way to get back on the map is to start to look within for answers. Not answers you get from knowledge, but answers you get from gut instinct, answers you get from whether or not something just feels right.

If you want to start the process right now, then look through your memories for something you used to enjoy and brought you pleasure. Something you haven’t done for a long time. Then go out and do it. Make a pact with yourself to do something you really enjoy for a little while each day. Something as simple as watching something on tv that makes you laugh, feeding the ducks on the local pond, building a sandcastle even though other people are watching. It doesn’t have to be complicated or earth-shattering. Simple pleasure. That’s all.

What this does is communicate a very important message to the forgotten part of you. It says, ‘I’m ready to come home, so please turn on a light to guide me’ and you’ll find that magical things start to happen. You’ll find your interest in life itself returning. You may also discover that you’re in the wrong relationship, the wrong job, the wrong location, and want to make changes and that’s fine as long as the changes feel right deep down inside. Use that as your guide from now on and you will soon be back on track.

When deciding to write this article, I decided that I wanted to show all the things that not just getting in shape, but accomplishing something extraordinary, can do for you. If you are overweight and lose weight and get in shape, many incredible things begin to happen.

You see I have, in the last year, lost about 35 pounds. After the weight loss, I began to notice that things, once hard to accomplish, were starting to seem easy.

These were little things at first. I first noticed that I had more energy and looked better. But as time went on and I lost more weight, I realized that I had accomplished something I thought I never would. I had gotten myself in great shape, which has been an ongoing struggle of mine for a long time.

I then realized that I could probably accomplish all the things that I thought I couldn’t. So this really started to get me excited. I began to think of all the possibilities out there. I began to think of things outside of health that I could accomplish.

I assume this is how many people have become extremely successful in life. They probably reached one seemingly unattainable goal and had this realization. Then they probably decided to shoot for higher and more complicated goals.

The more I thought about this, the more I thought that my weight loss could be the start of an entirely new personality and lifestyle for myself. I can become a person who gets things done, instead of someone always talking about what I want to do.

Here are just a few things that have come as a result of my weight loss.

I have increased confidence in myself.

I have started a new company that is off to a great start, profiting the first month in business.

Increased energy. I have twice the amount of energy I had when I was overweight.

I have started a muscle building plan. I am going to get in even better shape this year.

I have written a book, something that I have wanted to do for a long time.

My self control over everything is much greater. This means with eating, my temper and many other things. I have much more control over my life.

I am able to help other people lose weight. I have wanted to help people somehow for a long time, and this gave me the confidence to do so.

Well, those are just a few of the things that something as simple as weight loss has done for me. Just imagine what you can do if you accomplish a goal such as weight loss or anything that you once thought you could not.

This form of thinking goes beyond weight loss. This could be something as simple as exercising everyday. Or it could be making a to do list everyday.

Any goal or achievement can be used to catapult yourself and your personality into a different realm of possibilities. It can be used to show yourself what unlimited possibilities there really are in life.

So my point is this. Set a goal you want to achieve and do it. Have this goal achieved within the next month or two. It can do amazing things for you and your life. Then you can use your newly achieved goals to help you lose weight, make money, get women or accomplish anything else you want in life. You only get one life, so why not get started as soon as possible.
