“You may say you’re against status, but if you filled a room with people who said they were anti-status, a hierarchy would soon form based on how anti-status they are.”Loretta Breuning

 

If it feels good, it has side effects.This was a really cool read! Enjoyable & insightful into what triggers my own personal happiness and even unhappiness.

I don’t often think about what makes me happy and probably like many of us take things in life for granted. I do things also that Loretta would describe as my happy habits. Pathways I have learnt from experience that have made me feel good. Good and bad ones included.

When I am down, unhappy, I am aware. I reflect heavily in my down times. I feel pain; I place too much pressure on myself, and judge myself. Life is not and cannot always be total bliss. We are not designed to always be happy.

Success Is for You: Using Heart-Centered Power Principles for Lasting Abundance and Fulfillment

“Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.” Bruce Lee

 

This is a read that I really didn’t expect. It is a different take and approach on success from what you may expect and certainly worth a read.

Dr. David R. Hawkins is a renowned physician, lecturer and researcher of consciousness, which is the state of being aware and responsive to one’s surroundings. If we can only be more aware of ourselves internally and how we respond to external happenings may then we attain more success.

Dr. Hawkins concepts seem very much common sense, including business and psychological behaviours that help propel success, however along the journey to success we loose touch with them. The idea is to gain consciousness and become aware that will then assist us in discovering true success.

145: Leigh Martinuzzi | Keep It Simple Stupid – The KISS Philosophy

“If you cant explain it to a 6 year old, you don’t understand it yourself.” Albert Einstein.

 

We as humans have a tendency to complicate things. When I refer to things I really refer to all aspects of life, our mind, our thoughts, our voice, our actions and our behaviours. We are so good at it that in fact we have become less effective and when we are less effective we are not as good as living life as it is meant to be lived – with peace, passion and purpose.

Here are my thoughts on why we complicate things:

1.     When we don’t receive the rewards that we desire we add more to the mix. More things to do in hope more will bring greater results. In this sense more is more, when in fact more is less. (more…)
