Personal Development Quote of the Day - Achieving Results
Posted on December 18, 2008
Filed Under personal development | 2 Comments
If you want different results, you must go out and create them yourself. Accepting full responsibility for your life means being willing to do what’s necessary to create the outcome you want. You must be willing to pay the price to meet your needs and fulfill your desires. You must actively make your life happen instead of passively letting it play out. You’ll surely make mistakes along the way, but you must never give up on yourself.
Personal Development for Smart People by Steve Pavlina
Have you created the life you want? Are you ready to create the life you want?

Last year, I wrote a post examining the similarity between Ho’oponopono and EFT:
The relationship between Ho’oponopono, EFT and the Law of Attraction
I recently came across a video by Brad Yates which combines Ho’oponopono and EFT. Enjoy the video.

“Failure is only the opportunity to begin again, only this time more wisely.” - Henry Ford
“All my successes have been built on my failures.” - Benjamin Disraeli
“Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.” - William Feather
It has been almost two months since I wrote a post. I needed some time to recharge and reflect on where my life is and where I wanted to go (from where I am, to where I want to be). I am ready to start fresh and if you have lost momentum like I have, I hope that you are ready to move forward also.
“If you get up one more time than you fall you will make it through.” - Chinese Proverb

Bad Habits - Getting rid of your lemons.
Posted on October 2, 2008

Occasionally I eat potato chips. I know potato chips are fattening, high in calories and salt. i also know they take me away from my goal of eating nutritious foods and being fit. They are many things I don’t want because they don’t help me to reach my goals but I do want them - unless I stopped to think about it. Sometimes we want to get rid of some activity or habit but we just keep coming back. Just like Luc…
Most of the bad habits we keep, we dislike and we like. if we are to get rid of our lemons we can’t leave them right in front of us. Luc almost threw the lemon off the table and that is what we need to do. Make a decision and stick with it.

“Are we going to be determined and strong willed and find a way . . . it’s determination in the end that wins it.”
Mike Babcock, Head Coach of the Detroit Red Wings
Goals are most often achieved not through skill but through perseverance. Its when we want something so badly and we just know we will achieve it, no matter what it takes. What about your goals?

I just started reading Personal Development for Smart People - The Conscious Pursuit of Personal Growth. I have only read the introduction which gives the seven principles of personal development. Truth, love, and power; along with oneness, authority, courage, and intelligence.
I would like to read more but it’s 2 hours past my bedtime. This book looks very promising - I will be reviewing it as I read it - can’t wait to read more.

Take a Good Look Around

The lyrics to Trace Atkins’ song “You’re Gonna Miss This” really hit me. My oldest son has left for college. I realize how quickly time has flown by. Often we don’t realize that these are some good times and how important it is to take a good look around and really appreciate it.
You’re gonna miss this
You’re gonna want this back
You’re gonna wish these days hadn’t gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you’re gonna miss this

Personal Development Quote of the Day - Something Greater
Posted on September 5, 2008
Filed Under personal development quote | Leave a Comment
“Glory is not a conceit. It is not a decoration for valor. Glory belongs to the act of being constant to something greater than yourself, to a cause, to your principles…”
“Because it’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.”
(As a Canadian, I watch the U.S. elections with interest. A lot of speeches, a lot of rhetoric - but isn’t that great? Think of all the countries where this is not possible?)
