Persuasion is an incredibly powerful ability. It is the ability to be able to get others to do what you want them to do. Or to be more specific; it is the conscious act of getting someone to do what you want them to do.
Through persuasion you are able to get others to focus on you exclusively. You can focus their attention so that you become the center of their world. This attention can be conscious or unconscious, the difference being that the person that you are trying to persuade is ei...

Always try to nurture your imagination. Your imagination is a powerful ally that you can use in any area of your life. Albert Einstein said that “imagination is more powerful than knowledge”. What he was letting us know is that our logical and objective minds can never encompass the totality of ourselves and the universe.
Your imagination is like a window into an infinite world of the inner self. This world is far, far bigger than the exterior world that we considered to be so real. The ...

The fact of the matter is that diets, per se, do not work. I think that this topic has been given some thought and air time but it is a truth the warrants repetition. The reason for this is that there are still many groups and individuals trying to entice others into participating in this or that diet. The latest of these involve some kind of modification in your eating habit, where you are told that you can eat as much as you want as long as you don’t eat meat, or carbohydrates, or whatever....

Learn to always challenge yourself and different ways. The best way to always stay on your toes and therefore to always stay sharp, is to challenge yourself in new and interesting fashions. New challenges keep our brains well exercised, and they inspire us to grow in new ways.
Challenging yourself does not mean over working yourself. This is indeed a challenge, but not a very creative challenge. To challenge yourself to pull on a rope is not creative, any farm horse can pull on a rope. A...

Always learn the rules of every game. Every game has certain rules, and it’s very important that you learn then before you start to play.
Learning the rules starts by learning what you are playing for. In every game there has to be an objective, and this objective needs to be learned before you waste any energy and time. This objective is very important because it will show you which way you have to go and give you a clue as to how hard the competition will be. Knowing the objective will a...

A great way to begin to understand yourself and the reality around you; is to learn to let your thoughts pass by unhindered, as you pay attention to them. This way you will discover the flow of your reality because it is the case that your thoughts create the world that you see around you. Whether you believe in the metaphysical concept of ‘the law of attraction’ or not, thoughts do create your reality.
A thought clouds your judgment and focuses your attention. It tells you what to see and...

Learn to handle setbacks. We all have occasions when we fail or when we are not able to accomplish that which we wanted to do. Learning to handle these situations will allow us to have the energy required to try again. Without this energy, any setback, will stop any effort that we’re making and will stop us almost as soon as we got started.
You can never plan for everything. Life is an open system, where anything can be introduced at any time. This means that there is no way to be able t...

It is very difficult to always try to be someone that you are not. People have a way of projecting their expectations on you; this can lead to a desire to be someone that you aren’t in order to please others. This is the most common and most powerful way that you become inclined to become someone that you are not. It’s an easy rut to get into, and there are 2 major causes for this:
1) Parents are the biggest unintentional culprits here. Parents after all are the ones that instantly becom...

There is no need to explain yourself to others. The time that you waste trying to explain yourself and your motives to others can be better spent focusing on your desired outcome. I have mentioned before that there is a natural need in other people to control situations and things, it is therefore expected that others will feel that you have to explain yourself to them.
Don’t let others intimidate you into having to explain yourself to them. Since most of us grew up with parents or parental l...

Throughout the day and through out our lives there are many times when others project negative energy at us. You could say that throughout your day you are being constantly bombarded by the negative energy of others. There is no reason to worry about this as we are all very well psychologically protected, and we have learned from infancy to deal with this kind of bad energy.
You can imagine for example how often people tend to send negative energy your way when you are driving. Actually an...

True life beauty comes from the small moments. There is so much magic and beauty in all of the small moments of life that it amazes me when others can’t see it. I often forget that I have trained myself, that I have taken time and effort to make sure that I am able to capture those fine small moments. You can also do this with little effort.
You have probably heard the phrase, “the devil is in the details.” Well you might say that you will not just find the devil there. Beauty is also in the ...

At all cost, you must stop the worry. This is the most powerful foe that you will ever face. It strips away all positive energy and will ruin any good plan that you have made.
Worry is the focus of the mind on the future. This is a natural tendency that we all have to try and control our situation. The mind’s need to project into the future is a good thing and it is quite likely the reason why we have become so successful on planet Earth. If we think about the future, we can plan ahead, we mi...

You can create your own happy place. I know, you are telling me that after watching “Fight Club” you think that this is not the best idea ever. Well let me tell you that going to your imaginary happy place is an incredibly powerful technique, no matter what Tyler Durden says.
The mind, and focused visualization in particular, is a very powerful thing. The Body is not able to tell the difference between a vividly visualized thing and the real life concrete thing. You can recreate the workings ...

Never lower your standards. Many people would love to bring you down just to make themselves feel better. Don’t give others this kind of power.
The world is full of those that would judge you. You might say that we are all programmed to judge others. It is after all a survival mechanism. If you are able to judge others, you are able to predict what they will do. This is a very powerful way to be able to take charge of any situation and to be able to control the outcome. It is for this reason ...

Learn to question yourself at all times. Many people tend to take this the wrong way and think that I am advocating personal doubt. But this is not what questioning yourself means. What it means is that you must give yourself the time to explore your own being. Questioning yourself is really the art of personal contemplation.
The bull headed tend to think that to question is to doubt. And we are all told that doubt is a great enemy. Even Yoda tell us that we should, “do or do not.” But Yoda ...

Your physiology is an incredible indicator of your mental state. It is possible that you have read or heard something about the incredible correlation between your body and your mind. If you watch shows like “the mentalists” or “Lie to me”, you will see the protagonist do amazing things just by watching and manipulating body language.
It is nearly impossible to separate body action and reaction from mental focus. When you are depressed for example, you hunch over, look down, and tend to frown...

Don’t be scared to be alone. There is a big difference between being alone and being lonely. To be alone is a good thing, it gives you time and the space needed to perform things that you cannot do around others. Loneliness is an emotional response that is usually brought around by a feeling of self pity.
There are many times in our lives when we need to be alone. Sometimes it seems like these alone periods in our lives happen on purpose or perhaps for a bigger reason. I believe that the...

Affirmations are very powerful. They can be used to change a belief, and to give us positive emotions when we’re feeling quite negative. They are perhaps the best and easiest way to change how we feel at any moment. The trick is really the focus in that you need to be focused completely on the affirmation that you are using, or else it won’t work well.
In order to have positive and lasting results from an affirmation, these affirmations need to be done properly. The technique is most impo...
