Create your ideal future
What we imagine our future to be is usually based on our past. In other words, we use our experience of the past to determine what's possible for us in the future and then to create goals for the future. That approach limits our possible future to our experiences in the past. For example, if we’ve tried to create something in the past, be it a new relationship, a new business, or a new job, and we failed whenever we tried, we would likely not set similar goals in the future. Our future is not determined by our past, but [...]
How To Overcome Approach Anxiety
Feeling uncomfortable around others is one of the most common problems people have to contend with. The National Institute of Mental Health estimate that approximately 15 million American adults age 18 and over, or about 6.8 percent of people in this age group in a given year, have social anxiety.

What makes YOU weird? Most “normal” people are not interested in personal growth. You—who are on my mailing list and reading this blog post—are a distinct minority. Because [...]
Attract Money Now
If you are a reader of my weekly blog, you probably are interested primarily in personal/spiritual growth, by which I mean improving the quality of your life and/or becoming more spiritual, achieving more success, by which I mean earning more money or having an abundance of wealth in your life. Negative, limiting beliefs are a barrier to both goals, but I usually tend to write more about the first goal. Today I want to focus more on the second one. Over the weekend I read a book by Joe Vitale, a friend of mine and one of the people I [...]
Answers to questions about beliefs, Part 2
Here are my answers to a bunch of new questions I’ve been asked repeatedly about beliefs. 1. Once you understand that you can’t see beliefs in the world and that events have no inherent meaning, why do you have to go though the process time after time to eliminate additional beliefs? Remember, a belief is a statement about reality you think is true. And most people, because they are visual, think it is true because they think they saw it in the world.
