When WILL that Teacher Appear?
When the student is ready… We’ve all heard it hundreds of times – when the student is finally ready, the teacher is going to show up and set things right… maybe lead us triumphantly into the promised land. But have you ever had a teacher come tapping on your shoulder, ready and eager to reveal to you all the secrets of the ages? Most people will laugh and tell you that, no,... [Read more]
Are We Fighting Evil or Fostering Good?
When we struggle against all those “bad” habits of ours, it may be that we’re utterly on the wrong track. In fighting evil, what do we have front-and-center in our minds? Yep, the very thing we want to banish from our lives. And as every teacher has tried to show us, we get what we think about. Worse, we actually become what we think about. I don’t know if the following story... [Read more]
The Green Revolution to… Where?
Here’s a post I’ve seen here and there around the Internet. I’m reprinting it here even though I have no idea who originated it. Enjoy. Checking out at the supermarket recently, the young cashier suggested I should bring my own bags because plastic bags weren’t good for the environment. I apologized and explained, “We didn’t have this green thing back in my earlier days“. The... [Read more]
So You Think 2012 Is a New Year?
Time for a contrarian comment. Just this. Only a very, very few people will have a new year in 2012. Everybody else will have the same old year they’ve been repeating for ages. Slapping a new number on the same old stuff and pretending it’s the Emperor’s New Year is either cynical or self-delusional. Only a change of Actions, Thoughts and Intentions will make 2012 something new... [Read more]
Resolutions Fizzle? Try New Year’s Realizations
Statistically, most new year’s resolutions produce squat. All but a tiny handful go from high hopes to zero in a matter of days. Lose weight? Ha! Work out and put on muscle? Double ha! Make more money and get along better with family or whoever? Fuggedaboudit! Even apart from the new year period, the fact is, most folks spend their time focusing on the ways things go wrong: What didn’t... [Read more]
Sabbatical Ends Today – Confidence Still Growing
Christmas is two days past now, and in just under a week a bright new year will visit itself upon us. 2012. The much vaunted, much promoted, much feared 2012 is coming, and ladies and gentlemen, whether we’re ready or not, we’ll find ourselves having to deal with it… just as we have every year leading up to this one. Now, I don’t know if this new year will truly mark the end... [Read more]
Discipline – The Unpopular Side of Self Help
Over the past few years I’ve bought stacks of products which, if had actually used them consistently, would have reprogrammed my mind almost automatically. Heck, I’ve even created a couple of products like that myself (which I have used somewhat more consistently). But every one of those automatic mind reprogramming products – mine and everyone else’s – includes one serious... [Read more]
Reframing Reality – Putting Meaning to Chaos
When I was young, I instinctively sensed that “reality” was not what it seemed, and I hated it. I could find no meaning that would remain stable long enough for me to depend on it, to believe in it. No sooner would I latch onto this opinion or that “truth” as correct, than cracks in that truth would begin appearing, crazing slowly across the face of each newly adopted belief... [Read more]
‘Quantum Cash Pump’ Now Available on Amazon
The Business Owner’s Quantum Cash Pump This ebook (originally titled Your Cosmic Cash Pump) has been freely available to my subscribers, and the subscribers of many of my writer friends, since 2005. Now it’s time to open it up to a wider audience. So I’ve rewritten parts of it, reslanted it to a more specific readership, given it a spiffy new cover, and turned it loose on Amazon.... [Read more]
My Ebook ‘See Rich Be Rich’ Now on Amazon.com

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: If you can “See Rich”, then you can Be Rich. But there’s a knack... [Read more]
