Besides Motivation

Avatar of Nick Goodall

Besides MotivationI find motivation a puzzling subject, for it can be both useful and useless. It’s useful when you do something with your motivation, in other words take action, but it’s useless when you let it pile up and do nothing. That’s when you become an over motivated underachiever, not a syndrome to be proud of!

Motivation is a fantastic thing, when you feel motivated to do something, you’ve got that energy to go and grab what you deserve, but that alone won’t suffice. Don’t get me wrong, motivation is one thing you should feel everyday to live exceptionally well, but motivation is not doing. That takes a whole other set of skills to do something, and that’s what will set you apart. Read the rest of this entry →

How I came be aware of myself as an infinite spiritual being having a human experience is really quite a phenomenal story – one that I will be sharing in my first book. Details aside, it was an experience that often had me questioning if what I was enduring was real or not. It was a realization that took place over time, interlaced with larger than life synchronicities and impeccable signs – ones that could only be orchestrated by intelligence larger than what was previously in my egocentric mind.

In a single moment that came rather unexpectedly – I witnessed a divine truth of my soul, and the life I once labeled as my ‘reality’ began to crumble away quite quickly… which, suffice to say, was not an enjoyable experience. However, I began to see how every experience in my life had been precisely connected to that moment (again, saving for my book)… and while it felt as though nothing made sense – everything made sense. It is a journey that continues to unfold, each piece of the puzzle being revealed in the exact perfect moment.

Why Effective Communication Is The Key To Self-Confidence

Avatar of Onder Hassan

by Onder Hassan

Self-ConfidenceWhen I was a young lad, my communication skills were virtually non-existent. It was so bad that I would often shelter myself in my room for hours at a time playing video games.

My schoolwork suffered, my peers, friends and family would often misunderstand me and I would lose a tremendous amount of self-confidence in myself because of it.

Little did I realise that all of this would circulate over and over and further reinforce the set of beliefs I had of myself at the time. Read the rest of this entry →

Having-It-All: It’s Not Just a Fantasy

Having it allMost of us equate having-it-all as a destination filled with all of our favorite things…a kind of heavenly state where you can eat all of the French fries you want and still have perfect health and beauty, work three hours a day at your ideal job and still make lots of money, and a have great partner or spouse who isn’t annoyed by your hygiene habits.

 

Sadly, this is only a fantasy and not what having-it-all is all about. Read the rest of this entry →

Challenge: Raise the Bar and Change the World

Raise the bar challengeAre you ready for a challenge? Your mission–should you choose to accept it–is to raise the bar. It’s time to stop waiting for the world to change. It’s time to stop settling for mediocrity. The time for a great change is now. For this change, you must look within.

With any great challenge comes great responsibility. If you want to make a change in your life, and want to make a difference in this world, you must take ownership of this challenge. While I may be the author of this article, I am not the author of the challenge. This challenge must be yours–and yours alone.

The words you read here may provide a spark, but you must turn that spark into a roaring fire. Then, you must harness power from that fire to produce inspired action. Finally, you must utilize your own fire to light the torch of others in order to truly make a difference. At that moment, the challenge becomes real. Read the rest of this entry →
