We can learn to live the Tao Te Ching. This article will get you started.

As I prepared to write this article, I gathered around me several Wayne Dyer’s books.

Once these books were all around me, I could gather my sense of calm and write one word, and then the next.

One of Wayne’s favorite Patanjali aphorisms defines inspiration, and applies six rewards to the process:

A light-hearted survey which will reveal to you whether you think of your work as a job, career, or calling - and what that says about your likely satisfaction with life.

Job, Career or Calling?

How would you describe the way you earn a living? Research by Amy Wrzensniewski, Professor of Management and Organizational Behavior at New York University, shows that most people view their work either as a job, a career, or a calling.

I’ve drawn inspiration from her questionnaire to offer you a light-hearted version of the test below. Answer the questions and add up your scores to find out which category you belong to - and what that says about your satisfaction with life!

Success quotes are really useful when you need motivation and inspiration. By understanding and learning them, you will be able to see how helpful they might be to you.

It can seem pretty impossible when one says that the key to his success is success quotes. How can a string of words inspire you to the extent that you reach to the peak of the mountain?! Hmm, kind of ridiculous. But no, this is NOT a joke. Success quotes can really be your driving force to success if you really know how to use it properly.

As we follow the teachings of the law of manifestation that comes through all the wonderful ones who have come before and taught that cause equals effect, we begin to see that we do in fact make our world what it is appearing to be. We actually do decide by our thoughts and feelings what we can expect to see in our world.

“You lead the Way”…

came to us from that still, gentle voice within, that we sometimes don’t notice because of what we call life circumstances. This time we heard it loud and clear and had a huge AHA!

When you’re stuck in traffic, it’s so easy to just lose your top and rail at the car in front of you, the car behind you, the cars on either side, those near the traffic lights… you get the picture.

Anger is so easy to ignite, and so hard to defuse. It is the most destructive of emotions, and one of the hardest to handle. Anger has led to physical violence, property destruction, and other damage that has ranged in severity from the disappointing to the devastating. Anger is the undercurrent that envelops domestic violence that leads to divorce, and it is the driving force of terrorism.

We’ve all heard the saying, you have to love yourself before someone else can love you. Good advise, right? The truth is, this is simple in theory, but the challenge is applying it in the real world.

As I see it, there are two worlds: the ideal world of peace & harmony in which people accept us as we are (and our relationships last until death do we part) and the real world. Ah yes, the real world. The world of reality we are forced to exist in daily, also known as “life would be better if only…” I’ll let you fill in the blanks, but some of the grievances I’ve heard are, “If only I were taller”, “If only my boobs were bigger”, “If only I had more money”, “If only my hair were longer or straighter” and the all time chart topping favorite, “If only I lost 15 – 20 pounds.”

The universe, as all of us know, is guided by a series of very strict laws. Have you ever thought of that? We are part of the universe ourselves which implicitly makes us subject to each of these unavoidable laws.

Throughout history, there have been quite a number of exceptional people, the greatest who ever lived. What did they know that we don’t? Were they smarter? No way! Who helped them achieve their ‘outrageously big dream’? God? What is their secret? They must have had something in common though their background, time and activity fields were so different: theology, history, science, medicine, psychology, economics, and business. That ‘something’ which binds them together and makes them a walking marvel of achievement and success was their personal energy which they knew how to focus so as to grab the best in life.

Almost everyone I have ever talked to has had at least a brilliant idea or two floating around in their heads, just waiting to blossom into the transformational experience it was intended to be. Why does it seem that some people are constantly following their inspirations and re-creating their lives while other people seem stuck and unable to move? What stops so many from ever following up on that brilliant idea?

½. The habit of changing negative thoughts to positive.
This is a half habit because you don’t need the whole habit in order for it to be effective. It is the most difficult habit to maintain. This is the habit of changing your thoughts. Mastering your thoughts is a constant struggle, if you master them half the time, you’ll be doing twice a well! The thoughts you share with others can have a profound influence on them.

Some people value spontaneity. Others crave structure. Still, it would help if you would go through life with direction, and with goals. Goals help in guiding your choices. Purpose underlines everything you do.

So you’re in a new stage in your life. Either you’ve graduated from high school or college, decided to move on from a suffocating job, or just basically in a new stage in your life. You want to plan out the steps you want to take now, and you want to make the best choices that life has to offer.
