In his latest article called Overcoming Depression, Steve talks about his understanding of depression, as well as proposing a solution and own real-life example. According to Steve, the real cause of depression is not the situation causing the depression itself, but the attention we give to that situation.

From this perspective, the solution seems to be easy - withdraw your attention from what depresses you and place it to something what makes you feell good, maybe with the help of imagination. In other words, use the Law of Attraction.

I am writing this post mainly because I am curious what you, dear readers, think about this approach? Have you tried it yourself? Your comments are most welcomed. :-)

So why DO we keep so much stuff? Read the rest of this entry »

Sometimes the keys to successful time management have nothing to do with planners, schedules or organization technique. Instead, changes of viewpoint can make all the difference in the world. These epiphanies can transform one’s outlook regarding time and how it is handled. One of the most important recognitions is understanding time, not as a menacing clock ticking away, but as a valuable commodity. Read the rest of this entry »

Many of us, whether we know it or not, live within a prison of our own making. This prison has no metal bars, nor can its walls be seen by the naked eye; however, it is every bit as effective in keeping us from our freedom as a real prison cell. It’s called our comfort zone.

Comfort zones can take on a variety of different forms, from the area in which you live and the circle of people with whom you socialise, to the amount of money you earn. Read the rest of this entry »

“Procrastination is opportunity’s assassin.” ~Victor Kiam, American businessman, Remington Electric Razors (1926-2001)

“Oh, how I wish I could overcome procrastination! Somebody please help me stop procrastinating! But not today, I’m busy.”

Procrastination is a double-edged habit. It deserves our attention as well as our appreciation. The guilt we feel indicates that our procrastination serves as the destroyer of dreams. However, when inspired by our connection to our values it also serves as the protector against wasted energy and futile activities. Read the rest of this entry »

Take a deep breath, close your eyes and imagine how you’d respond to the following scenario:

You’ve been told that you have only two weeks left to live. Now, after the shock wears off, what would you do next? How different would the next two weeks be compared to the way you’ve been living thus far? Would it be any different at all? Read the rest of this entry »

A lot of people carry around with them a lot of “baggage” or “clutter” in their minds.

When I say this I mean that they are still holding onto things that they say they should do but don’t, the person who they had a row with but both are not speaking to each other – but both want to, the coulds and shoulds in your life that hold you back – you need to let go, but you don’t.

Failure happens to everyone. Goodness knows I’ve fallen on my face often enough. Every so often I try a plan I think is a slam dunk, trip, and wind up kissing dirt. I feel so low I wonder if the world will end, or if the ground will split and swallow me whole. Then I get over it, dust myself off, and try again.

The popular (and wholly incorrect) wisdom is that successful people are ‘lucky’ or ‘born to it’. The whole world of success is supposedly a world of Paris Hilton variations. Yes, a few people are born to wealth, and manage to be successful for doing nothing. But you don’t build giant companies from scratch, overcome poverty by your own diligence, or create legacies this way. So, what makes successful people successful? Read the rest of this entry »
