I will walk by Faith!!

Posted on November 2, 2017 by Rod's World

I am revisiting 15 Things You Should Give Up to Be Happy – An Inspiring Guide to Discovering Effortless Joy by Luminita D. Saviuc, AKA The Purpose Fairy: Here’s the list. I opened the book to the section on Chapter 7 – Give up complaining: I thought for a moment about turning to another page but realised that this was meant to be the subject of todays blog, to have some faith in life. Luminita likes quotes, as I do and here is the one that opens the chapter:

People who never achieve happiness are the ones who complain

whenever they’re awake, and whenever they’re asleep.

they are thinking about that to complain about tomorrow – Adam Zimbler

So how do tyou say don’t complain 15 different ways – let’s have a look:

1. My friends and I tried this for 30 days once, the furtherest anyone made it was 5 days, and they were probably lying.

2. We are the creators of our lives, when we are complaining about it, not many candles burning: Candlelight.

3. Warm Fuzzy Feeling, reminds me of lolly gobble bliss bombs, an Australian snack food released in the seventies. Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs were known for their colourful packaging, which featured surreal psychedelic artwork, reminiscent of Peter Max, Robert Crumb or The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.

4. I would love the time back from the things I have complained about in my life that truthfully I could not change: Changes.

5. You love, You appreciate, that makes you smile , That ……….

6. There are people we remember because they did things to make wrongs right: Martin, Nelson, Malala: Join them or become quiet: Try Everything.

7. Is cursing showing you have a lesser use of your total vocabulary, I think so in this situation.

8. My Essence for this quarter in my year long Activation program is Acceptance, if happiness is thrown in I will be stoked: Happy.

9. Katrina Mayer earned a doctorate in metaphysics from the American Institute of Holistic Theology. She is a writer, motivational speaker, corporate executive, and an ordained interfaith minister. The author of The Mustard Seed Way,she lives on the north shore of Long Island, New York.

10. The spirits have spoken: new world paradigm – a transformed world: Yesterday.

11. They say we choose when we decide to become a human being. Why do so many people forget the total gift this is?

12. Mathematically, the 80/20 rule is roughly followed by a power law distribution (also known as a Pareto distribution) for a particular set of parameters, and many natural phenomena have been shown empirically to exhibit such a distribution: Tim Ferriss 80/20 principle.

13. Robin Sharma, The Monk who sold his Ferrari points to one solution, don’t sleep as long , you have 24 hours in the day the same as everybody else, use it so it works.

14. As a proofreader I can’t believe it when people misspell words and actually print things, is that a complaint: Don’t Speak.

15. The last time you will ever use these words or thoughts.

If you took one-tenth of the energy you put into complaining

and applied it to solving the problem, you’d be surprised

by how well things can work out… Complaining does not work

as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Anytime we

spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goals.

And it won’t make us happier – Randy Pausch

The music today – Bollywood, Bowie, That Happy Song, a chat from Tim Ferriss, and a few pop divas, enjoy.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends

You’re not a jar of Nutella

What am I writing about with a title like that? It’s a feisty one. I recieved Danielle LaPortes Free and Clear process – It’s about what are you going to stop doing, I write something everyday in my 2017 Desire Map Daily Planner and it is not that easy some days ten months in. I spoke to my Activation buddy heather about who stated, why would you do that, I think that if you want new stuff/time in your life that you have to remove old stuff to get the space for the new stuff, lot’s of stuff, huh.

So I put stop doing things quotes in google images and from the result there is not a lot of focus on this over time, there were about thirty versions of three quotes, lets see if you can guess which ones they were of the following fifteen I have chosen:

1. What in you life do you do because you have always done it? When did people stop appreciating you for it. Over to you, you know what to do.

2. I was watching two young children filling in time the other night, they are definitely as far away from death as one could be moment to moment: Raise your Glass.

3. You don’t have to stop doing those things that touch you in your heart and soul, they are special.

4. A suggestion for things you should stop doing, if they are not in your present presence, it’s time to say ta ta: Rolling in the Deep.

5. And these are the things you definitely should not stop.

6. I like the name of the webpage – The possibiltyoftoday.com and the message to stop reacting to things you have no control over: Island in the Sun.

7. Why do we need to create space? This quote points to exactly why.

8. Wise words from Tom. And it has to be my favourite Tom Waits tune: Heart Attack and Vine.

9. We all don’t have to save the world with the things we do. But I love how Mother Teresa suggests we do it.

10. Word: Try Everything.

11. And then again there are these things we could easily stop doing, or is it that easy?

12. I don’t know what to say about this, many will disagree: Loyalty

13. If you are struggling with things you could stop doing, here’s a few ideas.

14. Permanent people, how many are there in your life: A Permanent Hug from You.

15. Thomas could be one of several people, he may even be from the 15th century, but its a bit hard to tell. So never ever ever stop doing this.

Danielle finishes her free and clear sheet with the words Tell yourself that you will Love and Protect yourself at all times. And….stop it , Thankyou Danielle.

The music is heavily leaning towards pop divas, but there is a classic Tom Waits track and a oh so cute number that has only had 13,000 hits on Youtube.

Namaste until next time my dear friends.

When basic becomes complicated, Simplify!!

Posted on October 23, 2017 by Rod's World

Einstein said many things, but one of his most profound quotes was “If you can’t explain it to a six year old, you don’t understand it to yourself”.

In this crazy tech driven society of ours people seem to have forgotten that life is meant to be about simplicity. Sunsets and Sunrises, rainbows, walking the dog, the simple tasks of life. In the excellent book about human nature; Selfish, Scared and Stupid by Dan Gregory & Kieran Flanagan: SSS article. they wrote a cheat sheet to keep it simple, here it is:

Make it Simple Shortcuts

We are already ridiculously busy and overloaded with information, so make things easy to digest and simple to action.
If you make our lives more complicated, we will simply ignore you.
We have more options than we need, so make yours simpler to understand.
If you can’t fit it onto a post-it or explain it to a six year old, it needs simplifying.
Identify the most basic need or value you need to satisfy and start there.
Information curators are the new power brokers.

Bruce Lee hits the nail squarely on the head: If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done. So what has society thought about simplicity over the generations, let’s have a look:

1. How many of these don’t you do because of the complications you have made them mean, change to the simplicity of this list.

2. Two and a half thousand years ago Confucius gave the world this piece of advice, do you think we listened. Get out your Iphone and ask a friend: Simple Life.

3. And from the great series Mad Men, Don Draper offers an advertising executive’s cut at simplicity.

4. My friends daughter Natalie is a minimalist. Here’s some information about it if you don’t know what it is:Minimalism.

5. Never thought I would see the day I would quote Adolf Hitler, but unfortunately he has a point that politicians have been using for centuries.

6. I have to admit that there are complicated things on the planet. Those formulas we see written on those board in films need mathematicians to make them, simply, understandable: Welcome to my Complicated Life.

7. More wisdom from the curly haired one, an example: Steve Jobs and the IPhone, remember the original bricks that were the mobile phone.

8. The process of existing on this planet between sunrise and sunset , what happened?: Sunrise, Sunset.

9. When I was leaving my unit this morning, I noticed the many things I had lying around I have not used in months, time for a clean out.

10. Like this a lot. I must admit when I think of simple that less comes to mind: Clarity.

11. I was surprised Google Images brought up this reference to Bali under make it simple quotes, but then again I have not been there, all my friends who have would probably say it makes perfect sense.

12. It’s in the making of it that the simplicity gets in: Cheap Thrills.

13. What do you want to be when you grow up? Where does all that other shit come from.

14. And when your life is simplified here is one of the greatest and simplest gifts you can give another: Come up and see me, make me Smile.

15. Yes I am of that age where I recognise pictures that are no longer used but where a lot simpler.

A typical supermarket in the modern world holds more than 47,000 products on its shelves. Only 30 years ago , that number was closer to 9,000. Some toothpaste companies produce over 50 products, more than the number of teeth we have in our mouth.

A great definition of simplicity is given by Jonathan Ive, Apples head of design: “True simplicity is derived from so much more than the absence of clutter and ornamentation. It’s about bringing order to complexity”.

The music today is a 70’s classic, a mini doco, some pop divas, a musical classic and an alternative anthem to a simple life, Enjoy.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

A Hero’s Guidepost – Stay Open to Mystery!!

Posted on October 16, 2017 by Rod's World

Some more brilliant words from Lissa Rankin as I work my way through her excellent book the Anatomy of A Calling: The Website.

“Its easy to think we can understand the world and how it works. But then if things happen that we can’t explain, it can lead to discomfort, disorientation and even denial. When something happens that disrupts your story of how the world works, be curious. Don’t worry too much about explaining your experience. The need to know arises from the mind, which can’t begin to fathom what your heart knows is possible. What if “How”and “Why” were not the most important questions, the ones that actually help us live?. When you’re willing to stop being an expert on life, you open yourself to magic. You let life be the teacher and humble yourself as the perpetual student. That’s when the real fun begins.”

So those signs you receive in your life, do you take notice of them or do you know that it just wouldn’t work out. Lets look at some signs sayings, there are some great ones:

1. The best job I ever had in my career as editor of a national Community Development journal called Community Quarterly would have never happened if I had ignored the poorly handwritten flier – volunteers wanted in St Kilda that day in the library.

2. This is why The Universe has your Back by Gabby Bernstein is another of my favourite books, great training in listening for the signs, she also does a quote card pack: Manifesto.

3. A place definitely not to look is in your head, when you feel that energy flowing through your body, follow it to its source.

4. The cat is about to head off and find Aladdin’s Caves: Follow the Sun.

5. You don’t only get one on life. My friend Thea writes a daily, 365 days a year book. Don’t hold on when you are meant to let go.

6. We have all heard the classic joke about the man ignoring God’s messages. It may not always make sense, but we all know when our intuition is speaking to us loud and clear. Stop ignoring it: Intuition.

7. A life without borders, what level of trust would that take where we could follow each and every sign.

8. I have a friend who when she travels chooses to go the road less travelled, to follow the crooked roads. She sometimes gets lost, but her adventures are of legend: True Colours.

9. This is one sign we do not want in our relationships, practice telling your disempowered and empowered sacred love stories to each other.

10. Replace tequila with your favourite drink, mines water: Tequila.

11. I think this signs for me.

12. I think the message here is to not give the wrong signs and actions out: Hit the Road Jack.

13. Words do not get results, words with actions that follow do.

14. And don’t forget to listen to the ones of Self-Love: That’s why You’re beautiful.

15. And these are probably the most powerful signs we receive. I call it the person you would most like to ravish in your life. Thats my sacred love story about these signs in our life.

What mysteries have happened in your life, those people you thought about who SMS’d you a minute later. That dream you had years ago about the place you are now in and you know that you have been there before, these are your signs to listen too and follow.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

Note to Self, Let Shit Go!!

Posted on October 9, 2017 by Rod's World

This is a beautiful sentence for the life altering book The Anatomy of a Calling: A Doctor’s Journey from the Head to the Heart and A Prescription for Finding your Life’s Purpose: It’s tricky to learn how to inhabit your brilliance- to let our lights shine unimpeded-without mistakenly letting it fuel the ego.

On the other hand what spiritual teacher and author Marianne Williamson writes in her book A Return to Love is true:

” Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine. we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

So how has the planet related to inhabiting our brilliance, let’s have a wee peek:

1. If you have a belief in that everything is possible the chances you will come up with something new is higher.

2. Because there is a brand new interpretation of it existing that did not before you took on the challenge: Amazing Grace.

3. brilliant

ˈbrɪlj(ə)nt/

adjective

(of light or colour) very bright.

“brilliant sunshine illuminated the scene”

synonyms: bright, shining, blazing, dazzling, light; More

brill4

4. I’ve got a soul kind of feeling, moving to the beat: Soul Kinda.

brill5

5. Welcome to the human experience, that’s where life really lives.

brill6

6. Some brilliant words from JFK about humanity: Teardrops.

brill7

7. I hope they say Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included when they are talking about me.

brill8

8. Aren’t we always feeling a little bit more brilliant on a sunny day: Ain’t Nobody.

brill9

9. Is your life your favourite movie, what’s its name?

brill10

10. I might do a blog soon using quotes when world leaders were respected for their wisdom not their stupidity: Back to Life.

brill11

11. From one of the brilliant ones.

brill12

12. Not in it’s flag, it’s army, it’s leaders, simply it’s people: Our House.

brill13

13. The oldest comment, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe lived from 1749 to 1832, a great innings for the time. Brilliance does not mean that you will always spend time with others.

brill14

14. Just couldn’t leave Oprah out, proof in the pudding: Sweet Dreams.

brill15

15. Finally a quiz, one of the most brilliant human beings ever, who is he?

The key is to recognise that spiritual gifts , divine downloads, miracles, magic and brilliance are all the result of Consciousness streaming through us. Our egos don’t get to claim credit for any of it. But it is our responsibility to avoid blocking its expression through us,

Namaste until next time, my dear friends

I am willing to witness my Fear!!

Posted on October 3, 2017 by Rod's World

How do you experience Miracles? The more you choose gratitude, forgiveness and love, the more miracles you expect to experience in your life. A miracle can be a moment when you give up a resentment you have held on to with a sibling for years and years, or losing that jib free you up to follow your true calling. It’s like choosing fear over love, each time you do this you have performed a miracle for all the people involved.

How has society defined a miracle over time, here is the definition currently used

Miracle:

an extraordinary and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore attributed to a divine agency.

“the miracle of rising from the grave”

synonyms: supernatural phenomenon, mystery, prodigy, sign

“his first miracle was to turn water into wine”
- a remarkable event or development that brings very welcome consequences.
  
  “it was a miracle that more people hadn’t been killed”
- an exceptional product or achievement, or an outstanding example of something.
  
  “a machine which was a miracle of design”
  
  synonyms: wonder, marvel, sensation, phenomenon, astonishing feat, amazing achievement
  
  “Germany’s economic miracle”
So what have people said over time about it, let’s have a look:

1. The first one sounds like the Just Do It mentality, the latter that you could live an extraordinary life, go Albert.

2. Mum Coach Mia Redrick puts it down to thoughts creating miracles. I think it also required body activation: You Sexy Thing.

3. You are nearly there, and baby it’s getting tough in the bleachers.

4. Another way of saying everything is a miracle or a gift from the curly haired wise man: Don’t Wait.

5. This type of love seems to be a miracle these days. Inhale it in!!

6. The possibility of magnificence, awaken your spirit to this and the miracle will flow in: So Much Magnificence.

7. Where is your change room? In your head or your heart.

8. Drink it in, Yes, this is true. So you have had at least one miracle occur in your life. Let’s get out there and create some others: Great Balls of Fire.

9. They say the way to enlightenment is to give up everything you know. This then allows for possibility to enter it.

10. Looking up who Rebecca West was I just had to include this quotes as well: People call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute.: Hard out Here.

11. Make this a real part of your day.

12. Looking for your miracles, remember to focus on your why as well: Start with Why.

13. I just loved this images, it needs no words to be miraculous.

14. The worlds greatest miracle: the birth of our offspring.

15. They say there is an experiment that can be done that demonstrates people who have taken the same way to work for years do not notice over 50 percent of what they pass by. Time to see the miracles.

Miracles are held to be humongous, and that is why people do not declare their lives as being so. I think it time to take on From Little Things, Big Things Grow.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

You can Play a Shoestring if you’re Sincere!!

Posted on September 28, 2017 by Rod's World

I’m reading s great book called The Big Little Book of Resilience by Matthew Johnstone at the moment. Matthew wrote and illustrated it. It is subtitled How to Bounce back from adversity and lead a fulfilling Life. Each page has a little bit of wisdom with a supportive image.

Accepting what we can and cannot change is one of the most important aspects of understanding resilience. it’s learning to work with and grow what’s right in our lives while accepting, but not putting all our energy into , what’s not.

So bringing sincerity into our lives allows us to see what are our rights and what will empower us. Lets have a look at what people have said about rights over the years:

1. Standing up for your rights means that you do not have to offend or please others all the time, It gives you time to consider them.

2. This brave young woman has raised the voices of half the world’s population: Roar.

3. You have the right to…. it’s up to you, whatever you listen to in your mind takes hold.

4. I have difficulty with one of these, guess which one: Same Love.

5. Our voices are given to us for a reason, It’s you time to use it.

6. I say this to you all, you can do it, you rock: I will Survive.

7. As a race, we have a fair way to go with this one.

8. This year, I became a tutor to three Chinese mothers. Before I did this I didn’t realize who little I know about other cultures on the planet and how much my group of friends is from the one culture: Where is The Love.

9. Mainstream media, Whilst in the hospital with my mum I unfortunately had to view it. The word puerile and the meaning of this question come to mind.

10. As it say above, be a voice. This period of time in raising your your children cannot be taken back without some serious therapy bills if you stuff it up: Teach Your Children Well.

11. How do millions of people turn into killers during the time of war. Often they were neighbors who had lived next to each other peacefully for years and years. The above sentence speaks very loudly.

12. The federal government in my home country, Australia seem to have forgotten this, they are about to implement a national Grade 1 grammar test: Better Place.

13. This haunting image could not let me not include it.

14. I spent many months contemplating this during my dark times. It was not Erin but Ruth and Jann and Hugo who said this to me, not in such dramatic style, but I heard it: Stay.

15. Perhaps best known for the remark in a letter to an Anglican bishop, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men. Donald Trump, or Nelson Mandela who will be remembered in the year 3030?

So I am imploring you to realize that you have rights and you have a voice. It’s our time, Its up to Us, Because we Can.

Namaste, until next time, my dear friends.

But I drink Champagne Now!!

“My Energy Creates My Reality. What I Focus On Is What I Will Manifest”

One of Gabbi Bernsteins excellent The Universe has my Back 52 card deck. What creates your reality. It is said a truly strong person does not need the approval of others anymore than a lion needs the approval of sheep. If you spend your life creating your reality by seeking other people’s approval before you take action you minimize what you are likely to achieve in your life. It’s fine to form partnerships with others to achieve your goals and dreams but do not hand the manifestation over to them.

There have been many different realities over our history, what did people have to say about it:

1. There are 7 billions opinions on earth even though mainstream media is trying to change this. Remember the more you love your decisions, the less you need others to love them.

2. Sometime reality hammers us, it is in these moments that relating to your dreams becomes very important. getting the negativity out of your life at these moments is essential: Expectations versus Reality.

3. The world’s greatest philosopher Ms. Unknown reminds us that we are the creators of our own unique canvas. Will yours hang in the Louvre or on the backdoor of your toilet?

4. Parents are often surprised when their children start dropping the F bomb, words have power: That Power.

5. Wagner’s life was characterised by political exile, turbulent love affairs, poverty and repeated flight from his creditors. His controversial writings on music, drama and politics have attracted extensive comment, notably, since the late 20th century, where they express antisemitic sentiments. The effect of his ideas can be traced in many of the arts throughout the 20th century; his influence spread beyond composition into conducting, philosophy, literature, the visual arts and theatre.

6. From the author of Think and Grow Rich, which is amongst the top ten selling self help books of all time come some sage advice at to what your thoughts are capable of: Wild Thoughts.

7. One of my top ten, Wayne Dyer, the full quote is you create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions and your intentions create your reality.

8. Not only a bugger for the bottle, Aristotle, way back in the Third Century B.C. knew the importance of knowledge and education in creating our realities; Pretty Hurts.

9. Every day in every way, that’s how powerful our skill of creating our reality is.

10. Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati founded the Kashi Ashram, “an international interfaith community based on kindness, compassion and service”, in Florida in 1976. With this background she was obviously trying to affect the religious reality of the day that religions are separate from each other, more the one god theory: Ordinary Day.

11. It must have taken some pretty powerful imagining to sit under the Bodhi Tree and reach enlightenment.

12. How much energy do we waste regretting things that have happened in our past lives. It deprives us of the freshness we need to build the new structures we require to move forward: Future/Past.

13. Then reality can be confusing. I am a one on one English tutor and you should see some of the looks my students give me when I try and explain words that are spelt the same and mean entirely different things.

14. Known for her powerfully insightful quotes and poetry Anita Krizzan beseeches us to listen well when our reality begins to cause us pain: Hurt.

15. The journey to fulfilling your dream has a few requirements, this is one of them.

“Be yourself. If you water down to please people or to fit in or to not offend anyone, you lose the power, the passion, the freedom and the joy of being uniquely you, It’s much easier to love yourself when you are being yourself. – Dan Coppersmith

Welcome to Reality.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

Do the right Thing!!

Posted on August 24, 2017 by Rod's World

There is a basic connection among people, who all fundamentally want the same things: to be appreciated, to belong, to feel good about themselves, to make a difference. I am reading William Baker and Michael O’Malley’s great book Leading with Kindness: How good people consistently get superior results. Kindness is an apropos term to apply to leadership because it implies precisely such root connections among people engaged in meaningful reciprocal relationships.

They state that kindness is made up from six virtues, these are Compassion, Integrity, Gratitude, Authenticity, Humility and Humour. Quite a good mix to bring to leadership , I think. So what have we said about kindness over the centuries, let’s take a wee gander:

1. Imagine if every soldier on the planet did this instead of firing their weapon in anger, let’s start the revolution today.

2. Kindness is funny, you can’t buy it, it seems to have no pricetag, but once given to somebody it is rarely forgotten: Change.

3. Be’s and But’s from Jim Rohn, one of the doyens of the personal development movement that has transformed the business world.

4. You are never too busy to partake in this mighty, mighty adventure: Better Together.

5. When my dad died , we gave most of his possessions to charity, the people at his funeral were there because he was a kind generous soul.

6. Reading this has me ponder, how often do I do this in my instant gratification filled life: Strong.

7. So do I.

8. How deep is the depth and passion of your kindness, what gets in the way: Kindness is a Muscle.

9. There it is, in the silence of the actions that make it up,

10. Cute kid and animal post, the kindness in it oozes right out of the image: Someone Like You.

11. Leading by example, you don’t need the CEO title after your name.

12. How did you choose the leaders in your life. Are all your bosses and power points amongst them, not in mine: Everybody.

13. We are born free, one of the traits we get given is kindness which we display openly as young children, what happens later on?

14. I call it Interculturalism: Love and respect for All – Everyone Included: What I Am.

15. Yes, let’s be both.

Albert Schweitzer said ” Example is not the main thing in influencing others it is the only thing, I’ll finish with those powerful words.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

My Plan is To……..

Posted on August 17, 2017 by Rod's World

There is much discussion as to whether you can lead a balanced life and succeed in the higher echelons of leadership. In his excellent book Leaders eat Last, Simon Sinek points out that not it is only possible it is in fact desirable if you are looking for an efficiently run company.

A leader who uses the top down management approach these days looks fated for the scrap heap. During the GFC of 2007 to 2008 fifty percent of America’s banks failed mainly due to their culture being based on making the holy dollar to the point that they had made some very unwise decisions in chasing larger and larger profits. Businesses that were more balanced in their cultures were able to survive due to the loyalty of their staff.

So what does a balanced life look like, let’s mosey on down that trail:

balance1

1. We create as much information every two days as we did in the entire year of 2003. I think this means that the chances of us doing everything have long gone by the way.

balance2

2. The near first female POTUS points to your job title is not the be all and end all of what provides a satisfactory life: Get a Job.

balance3

3. Love Thomas Merton, didn’t know he was a Catholic priest until just now. A Trappist monk of the Abbey of Gethsemani, Kentucky, he was a poet, social activist, and student of comparative religion.

balance4

4. What a living example Eat , Pray, Love is of this beautiful quote: I’m not in Love.

balance5

5. Star of 9 to 5, what a way to make a living, don’t have this be the major focus of your life and forget your dreams.

balance6

6. Number five seems a tad out of place from the rest: Who You Are!!

balance7

7. For me being silly and letting loose would be challenging, how about you?

balance8

8. Mindmapping , there are three or four for me that are not in balance at the moment: Mo Bounce.

balance9

9. One of the greatest living philosophers, Ms. Unknown shows us a tactic to inner balance.

balance10

10. Koan or meme, what will I call them today. But remember to watch and spend time in today’s beauty: You are so Beautiful to Me.

balance11

11. Attitude: when someone makes a settled way of thinking or feeling about something. … For example: You can tell a person’s attitude just by watching his body posture if he likes something or not. Aptitude: It’s a natural ability to do something or a natural tendency.

balance12

12. The greatest skill in life one must get rid of if they wish to lead a balanced life: Confessions of a Perfectionist.

13. We have all seen that cartoon of life as we hope it will go versus how it actually occurs, we spend a lot of time undoing knots.

balance14

14. SETH GODIN is the author of 18 books that have been bestsellers around the world and have been translated into more than 35 languages. He writes about the post-industrial revolution, the way ideas spread, marketing, quitting, leadership and most of all, changing everything: Holiday.

balance15
