Protect Your Dream
This is a scene taken from The Pursuit Of Happiness. I totally love this movie and I had watched it twice. The story is based on a true story of Chris Gardner, a homeless salesman to a millionaire stock broker. If you have not watched it, I recommend that you go borrow it from your friends or get it at Amazon.
I believe many others have allowed others to kill off their dreams. Many people are fearful of going in the opposite direction of where the crowd is going. Hence, the social pressure can make one to give up their dream just for the sake of going with the crowd.
I believe...

Warren Buffett is one of the world’s richest men and he is also one of the best investors in the world. He built up Berkshire Hathaway (a company whose share costs $100,000 per share) from scratch and he became a billionaire through investing alone.
I know that Warren Buffett is someone that I need to learn from if I want to become an excellent investor. I had read countless of his books, learning from the investment moves he made and also his yearly annual report. I had picked up valuable lessons from him and these lessons will definitely be useful to you...

If it is a common occurrence for you to have one person or another who is disappointed in you, decision-making is a key component of handling that issue. Others who we deal with will not usually say this directly, but will hope that you make a decision, either right or wrong, and not stay indecisive. Decisions show a healthy sign of life, as they represent you taking a stand for something. One might say that you can either make decisions or let them be made for you.
Indecision...

The greatest opportunity you have in partnership is the ability to use all interactions with your partner as a vehicle for learning about your ego self and shifting more deeply into relating from your soul self. Each time your partner does something that triggers one of your hot buttons, the Universe gives you the opportunity to recognize this trigger and transform your reaction to it. If you lived in complete isolation, hidden away in a Tibetan cave, you would have little chance to recognize your triggers. Since awareness is the key to transformation, you can be deeply grateful for your partner’s...

Wandering through life looking for its meaning can be a heart-rending task. You begin life looking to your parents for meaning, then to your teachers and friends until, one day, you’re grown-up, educated, and still clueless. You stand there, thinking that there has to be a reason why you’re here on this earth because you are constantly haunted from within by a sense of knowing that a reason really does exist. If only you could remember what it was.

How can you absolutely maximise the impact affirmations are having on your conscious and subconscious mind?” The VAKS Method of stating affirmations is a powerful tool for programming and integrating affirmations on many levels of your being.

Have you ever heard something, completely out of the blue, that changed how you see and experience the world? I did. Last year I attended a show at a falconry center where I was able to see some incredibly beautiful eagles, hawks and owls. The presentation took place in a small amphitheater on the compound and an experienced trainer brought out a few birds one at a time and talked to us about them.

Recently, a very attractive woman, Jennifer, told me that one of her greatest fears was that she would have sexual relations with a man and that he would then abandon her. She wanted a life partner, but based on her fear and her actions, I could see that she was inviting the very behavior she feared most. In my experience, this is quite common. Jennifer’s behavior was similar to that of a Swedish woman I met ten years ago and that of an actress I met this summer. All three women had been conditioned to use their beauty to get what they wanted – offering the promise of future sex in...

I’ve been studying human achievement for almost 50 years (professionally for over 30 years), and the longer I do this work, the more I see that the “recipe” for achievement is simpler and in many ways, much easier than most people believe. In fact, Socrates described the basics almost 3000 years ago with the simple phrase, “Know thyself.” I’ve been thinking a lot about ways to create a workshop around this simple recipe, and I want to share some preliminary observations with you…

You don’t hear it spoken too much any more, but years ago, people would often say, “I want to make a name for myself.” And it wasn’t a bad goal by any means. In fact, having a “good name” was and is the very foundation of leadership and customer service. Of course, there are many, many ways “to make a name for yourself.” You can make a Guinness World Record by swallowing the most goldfish in an hour, wearing the most T-shirts at one time, dangling the most weight from a swallowed sword, or doing a million other feats.
