Using Your Personal History as an Excuse

How much of your day do you spend thinking about your personal history?  Events that have happened, words people have said to you, labels that have been placed on you – but perhaps the more relevant question is, how often do you use your personal history as an excuse not to take risks or follow [...]

Finding Your Purpose in Life

What is your calling?  Do you listen to it? Patangeles the father of meditation once said, “when you are inspired by some great purpose or some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds.  Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new and great and [...]

The Principle of Contemplation

Contemplation is the continuous use of your thought process to elevate the concept of ourselves to where we want ourselves to be. Our thoughts begin the process of materialisation. Contemplation is a kind of action in and of itself. When we contemplate ourselves surrounded by the conditions which we intend to produce – we get [...]

Choosing Your Path to Self Awareness

Many would say that built into all good fortune is misfortune and built into all misfortune is fortune.  All of the falls we experience throughout our lives have a component of fortune even if we can’t see it at the time.  Whether we like them or not, we often learn and grow more from the [...]

Cherishing others – A Step Toward Happiness

In my previous post ‘Eight verses for training the mind’ I briefly discussed the first verse which focused on cherishing others over cherishing ourselves as being a step toward our own happiness. This has become a common topic of conversation with many of my clients in the last two months and is well worth revisiting. [...]

The Shift – From Ambition to Meaning – Part 3

Following on from my last post, this post discusses the final two phases on a journey toward meaning. Dr Dyer says that we know when we are approaching the meaningful phase in our lives because we realise that aligning ourselves to ambition, competition and materialism becomes very unfulfilling. In this phase it becomes more obvious [...]

The Shift – From Ambition to Meaning – part 2

In the last post I shared with you a poem that Dr Wayne Dyer had included in his most recent book “The Shift”.  The poem identified one of the greatest hungers that we could experience as being a life without meaning. In his book, Dr Dyer talks about the four phases that some of us [...]

The Shift – From Ambition to Meaning

One of my very favourite authors is Dr Wayne Dyer, author of over 30 books, many audio CD’s and more recently the movie, book and Audio called The Shift – Taking your life from Ambition to Meaning. For those of you who may not be familiar with Dr Dyer, Wayne, in his own words, was [...]
