Today we would like to notice a very simple, universal yet hardly noticed principle of life. Noticing this will dramatically improve your life in all areas and situations - relationships, health, career, business, politics, sports - all areas of your life. Sometimes the simplest of things are the most powerful yet least understood. Let us look at one such simplicity. Here it is: Everything produces in kind. An orange seed produces orange trees, which produce oranges. This you can c... more...

Last year, I started to do my daily goals setting. I continued for 3 months and amazingly, I had 2 of my goals completed within that 2 month. Unfortunately, due to my own personal laziness, I discontinued. This year, I decided to do it again and this time, I blog it and I have been setting my daily goals for past 1 month over my blog. As each day passes, my daily goals are more or less identified. I started with eleven of them, and by end of first week, it streamed down to ten and now,... more...

I have a blue convertible Beatle photo on my desk. On it, I edited my own photo and carefully placed it in the driver seat. I had shown it to John and he was amazed that it looks real as if I'm driving it. As such, when I'm in office, I can see the picture and see myself driving the Beatle. Thus, visualization is a very important step in goal setting. On Saturday, after Novena, we went to Serangoon for lunch. While driving out, we saw a private property open house. A... more...

Not so long ago, people thought the world was flat. They looked out into the horizon, and it appeared to them that the earth ended somewhere far out there, and at the end of the earth, one could possibly fall off the edge and die. Therefore, people did not dare to reach the horizon, for fear of falling off the end of the earth. So they stayed where they were. Their perception that the world was flat, that it had an edge (the horizon), kept them from exploring far away from where they were... more...

Do you find yourself thinking mainly about the bad things in your life? Do you look at the future and assume that things will turn out badly for you? Watch out! It is likely that you will get what you focus on. Even the Biblical character Job, who suffered the loss of everything, made the statement, "That which I have greatly feared has come to pass." Is it possible that his disasters happened partly because his focus was on the negative instead of on the positive? You don't ... more...

Goals. You know you have them. Everyone has areas in his or her life that they would like to change. Whether your goals are written neatly in bound journals or just drifting around in your head, you can achieve those goals. Just how, though, can you make them a reality? 1. If you haven't done it yet, get those goals down on paper. Try to write them in a way that is measurable and objective. This means that you will have proof positive when they have been met. Nebulous subjective wor... more...

There is a lot of 'stuff' out there at the moment about letting the universe do the work. You've probably seen some of it. 'Write your desires on a piece of paper and burn it. Then let the universe/God/your subconscious create it for you.' Or something similar. The problem is, how can you believe in what you are asking for? What I mean is, suppose you ask the universe etc to make you rich (over 80% of people think they want to be rich). Can you believe it will ha... more...

The first thing to do to help you determine what you really want is to dedicate some quiet time to yourself when and where you know that you won't be interrupted. You don't want any distractions at all so turn off your computer and phones and find yourself a comfortable place to sit. Next, completely relax and try to clear you mind of any distractions and thoughts that enter your mind. This can be easier said than done, and it may well take concerted effort. For many of us, giv... more...

Visualisation is an invaluable skill to develop to enhance success and achievement. Why? Because almost every human achievement and creation throughout history was first enacted or created in the mind of a man or woman. A clear vision of exactly what you actually want is an essential step for any person serious about bringing their dreams to reality. The more clearly you can see yourself having achieved your goals and enjoying the rewards, the more it is going to motivate you to make the... more...

By setting goals, and measuring their achievement, you are able to see what you have done and what you are capable of.

He came up with the following 13 categories - temperance, silence... more...

Have you ever really thought about the importance of your values to your success and to self improvement, or even considered what your values really are, or what they really mean to you and your life? Our values are at the very centre of what we are as people. Our values determine our beliefs about the world and even more importantly, about ourselves. Our beliefs determine our attitude to life in general and everything that happens to us, and determine our expectations. Our values are pr... more...

People are motivated in different ways and we have different reasons why we do what we do. One thing for sure is that when you find a reason "why" you are doing something then your chances for success long term is greatly increased. For those that are visually orientated then one sure fire way to get your big enough "why" is to create a goal collage. Now some of you probably have already come across this concept others will be trying to think back to primary school when you last ... more...
