Following Your Passion...
From and early age, you're routinely taught to put following your passion on hold. You were admonished to concentrate on the serious undertaking of getting a "real" job...and not to waste time following your passion. The advice I got: "Get a degree in business!... or something that will guarantee a job". read more..
Something Missing...
There's a reason for feeling like something is missing in your life... It's your heart, mind and body letting you know that you are not complete. You feel it as a lack of passion and sense of purpose. Without natural passion and purpose you begin to feel empty. The activities you engage in seem to be little more than routines. You're on autopilot and not really present. Time goes by and you feel as if nothing of any real value is being accomplished in your life. Regaining your passion for life and the important feeling that what you're doing with your life has meaning, is essential to your joy and fulfillment. read more..
Taking it another step - what if your ego has rationalized your life into a place where you are disconnected not only from your "feeling and intuitive" self but from other people as well?

What is the meaning of life? More specifically, what is the meaning of your life?
Ask this question to someone who lives life with passion and you will receive answers like:
"My life purpose is to immerse myself in journeys of self-discovery which result in personal growth, abundance and prosperity... Ask the same question of someone who is empty of passion and you receive a very different view of life: read more..
Imagination...
At birth you were given an imagination. Plus the freedom to decide how you are going to use it.
Your life, as it exists right now, is the culmination of how you have decided, time and time again, to use this repository of infinite possibilities. What is the imagination? read more..
We Deny Passion...
How often do you kill your passion? Through the years you have either downplayed or outright denied many interests and feelings. We all have. After a while what once may have been a passionate interest becomes a fading dispassionate memory. What you are left with is little or no desire to pursue it or anything outside of your current day to day reality.
You know something is missing in your life... read more..
Personal Boundaries...
When Personal Boundaries Fail... It's common knowledge that living with some personal boundaries is supposed to be a good thing.
The notion is simple enough:
Establish and adhere to imaginary internal fences in order to protect yourself from being overwhelmed, assaulted or otherwise forced to react to those situations which you do not want to react to. read more..
No Boundaries!...
If you read this article out of context, the information presented here may seem controversial. If you haven't already, please read "Personal Boundaries " before reading this article... In order to reverse "The Boundary Effect" phenomenon discussed in the article titled: "Personal Boundaries", you must take specific steps to break the sympathetic resonances of your already established boundaries.
The way you do this is to adapt the mindset of having no internal barriers what so ever! read more..
Gratitude...
I'm going to share a secret with you about gratitude: It's a universal principle which will always unleash passion in your life. How is this possible? I will answer that by first describing the principle of gratitude:
It's a process which requires you to focus on, emotionally feel and accept those things in your life which are good. Each good thing in your life has a unique emotional resonance. Think of this resonance as a "flavor of emotion". read more..

Forgiveness is a universal principle as well as a technique. When practiced on a daily basis it will not only change your life but will literally open the doorway to your passion! How this principle works and why it unleashes passion is the subject of this article.
In our new online life coaching program: "The Intentional Prosperityâ„¢ System", my wife Gwen and I wrote a detailed explanation of this powerful life changing principle as well as how to use it as a daily technique. So I am going to borrow from our Intentional Prosperityâ„¢ lessons in order to present, what I hope will be a very helpful and informative exploration of this powerful principle. read more..
Personal Growth...
The Barrier To Personal Growth... The journey of personal growth can often be at odds with the way you were raised. Especially when your upbringing reinforces the notion of maintaining absolute “control over yourself�.
Society has to put certain restrictions on what we do so we don't harm ourselves or others as a result of our actions.... and with good reason: read more...
Prosperity...
The Freedom To Succeed Or Fail: When I was working on "The Intentional Prosperityâ„¢System" I really had to think about how I was going to define prosperity.
I mean, this is a loaded word! It means something very different to each and every one of us. For some people, it refers to having money and living the good life. For others it can actually bring up a great deal of resentment and bad feelings. This is because of personal issues and the kind of day to day struggle which is the antithesis of what most of us would probably equate with prosperity. read more..
Abundance...
To understand why passion is so closely connected to the abundance you can experience and enjoy in your life. It 's essential to describe what abundance actually is:
Simply stated: To live an abundant life is to have an ample supply of whatever you determine is good in your life. In other words, those things and experiences which you have acknowledged bring you joy and fulfillment. read more..
Millionaire's Secret...

A little known millionaire's secret is that you must begin to act like one, feel like one and embrace the attitudes, opinions, habits and beliefs of one... before your financial balance sheet actually supports your "claim"...long before! read more...

Business Mindset...
Why Your Business Opportunity Will Fail: I'm going to tell you right up front that I believe a business opportunity can be the greatest adventure into prosperity and abundance you will ever take.
Owning your own business... It's the ultimate mechanism for creating a lifestyle which leads to the greatest financial potential and personal power. read more...
Permission...
Permission means: Granting yourself the authority to take back control of what you think and how you feel.
As we move through our day to day lives we often don't realize that we have given away our freedom to think what we want and feel what we want. We haven't given this freedom away to some kind of governmental agency. We've given the power to think and feel away to our own attitudes and opinions! The shocking thing is that we don't even realize it...That is until something inside "tells" us something is missing in our lives. read more...
Fear of Happiness...
The fear of happiness can cause a lack of passion in your life! Passion is usually a pathway to joyful activities. When you engage in joyful activities it is natural to want to continue with those activities. In order to do so you must face certain realities about your life: You may find yourself coming face to face with obstacles. Those things which are a part of your day-to-day life and work against your ability to follow your passion and preventing your long term happiness. read more...
Surrender...
Surrender To Your Passion! In a world where everyone wants to be in control, the idea of surrender may be a bit hard to swallow...
Just think about what it means: To let go of control...To submit with complete trust...To open yourself...Accepting on faith...Having no resistance...
This is a powerful state of mind and for some people it may be controversial. We are going to examine surrender as a process which is directly affected by the intensity of your passion. First let's start with this premise: read more...
Intuition...
Intuition is that experience in which all of a sudden you just "know" something is about to happen, and to your surprise, that feeling is then manifested into reality... When you feel strongly about something without a logical basis to it, that's also called intuition. It comes in three impressions: Precognition or "having a vision", "knowing" and "seeing through listening".
Precognition is when you "see" beyond what is capable with your physical eyes. This is when you know what is happening somewhere because you get a glimpse of it. read more...
Good and Evil...
In a recent interview I was asked "Is there good and evil in the world?" My answer was yes!. I base it upon the following definition of the terms "good and evil":
Good
There are two essential aspects of "good": First, good refers to what is in the best interest of yourself as well as others. This requires decisions which take into consideration the best possible solution for everyone involved. This type of solution is always possible and results in the positive ramifications from those decisions which always brings more good into your life. read more...
Self Development...
The fastest way to get from where you are to where you want to be is through self development. This means working from the inside out. Working from the outside in is why 97% of people fail to achieve their goals!

Without this essential ingredient you will fail to reach your goals... read more...
