Part 6: University and the teacher that truly changed my life, a Native Algerian Berbere Philosopher/Manager/Psychologist! So as you can probably see in Part 5, I could write an entire book just on our 7-month European journey, but I digress, this is NOT an autobiography, but more of a treatise to awaken our deeper selves, …

10 foundations for Success by Jim Rohn : With commentary by Darren Hardy (editor at Success Magazine) Here are some notes I took with some of my own commentary and images added by me about one of my greatest mentors, the world-renowned author and mentor Jim Rohn! It was a sales video for an awesome new training program from Success Magazine. Jim’s 10 foundations for Success When he was 25, his mentors gave him some of the best advice: “For things to change for you, you have to change Stop wishing things were easier, wish you were better."
MOST VALUABLE SKILL “The most valuable skill that you could ever develop is the skill of directing your thoughts toward what you want—to be adept at quickly evaluating all situations and then quickly coming to the conclusion of what you most want—and then giving your undivided attention to that.” That’s very close to the exact definition of the Law of Attraction ! As Esther and Jerry make clear: The ability to direct your thoughts toward what you want is THE most valuable skill you could ever develop. And, to develop ANY skill, you've gotta practice. Are you practising? What is your reality, your life experience? Are you happy? Really, deep down, how do you feel about your life, your reality? Are you living a good life, following your bliss, is your life all that you ever could dream of? Or, perhaps you’re like the majority, your content, you have a steady routine: Get up, shower, breakfast, commute, work all day, come home, have dinner, watch a bit of tv, go to bed, rinse and repeat… Most people do not realize that they have the energy that creates worlds inside them, their god-self, spirit, or the energy of Stars within them, and if they try, they can rewire their brains to just feel good! Once they get that feeling, the Hicks like to call it ‘Getting into the Vortex’, amazing things start happening, we can call these synchronicities, and these all associated with the Law of Attraction…. Vortex - Law of Attraction Vortex – Law of Attraction You can also say, you are In the Zone, you know you could be at work writing an e-mail, or finishing a project, and everything just seems to flow and you look at your watch and notice that 2 hours just went by, and it feels like you just got off your break. Wow, what a feeling, well try imagining yourself, being in that Zone of Bliss 24/7, and how much your life would radically change just because of this? It would be night and day, wouldn’t it? I actually, while writing these last 2 paragraphs, I was In the Zone, the words just sprang out of my head to the screen. It is AWESOME! “There is nothing more detrimental to your ability to positively attract than a negative attitude toward yourself.” ~ Esther and Jerry Hicks
Today’s post will be about a video I recently viewed and took notes about Eckhart Tolle, one of my spiritual mentors and teachers. talking about his life and Life in general, Death and his awakening experiences. I hope you enjoy it and please take a moment to write a small comment. Thanks so much in advance. You can view the entire video at the bottom of this post. Eckhart speaks briefly about his difficult childhood in Germany, his parents separation (sounds familiar), and his move to Spain, all by the age of 12! This also hits a sensitive chord as I lived there for 3 months as a young adult. rock-bottom-the-solid-foundation AWAKENING DAY When he finally experienced his awakening, he was in his late 20s, and on the following morning, he saw everything with fresh, new eyes. It was like a rebirth, as he had been suffering from depression and a lots of anxiety, trying to find his path in life. He began to realize that 80% of his thinking just stopped and also noticed that they were mostly the negative thoughts. I can attest that once you change this one thing, your life takes an about turn whether you are awakening or just monitoring your thoughts better!
How can you find your authentic self, your true purpose on Earth if you are surviving off of work that often just seems so repetitive and boring. Where you get little to no true satisfaction, following a daily grind, helping build someone else’s dream? Perhaps it is time to delve deeper into self, and perhaps meditate or spend time alone for some true introspection, to take time to observe one’s mental state, while in a spiritual context it may refer to the examination of one’s soul, and to find out what makes you come alive.
Why blog about the spiritual side of Success? I would like to first say that I truly believe that we are in the process of awakening as a species to realize that we are more than our bodies, our countries, our minds, and at the moment, the powers that be do not want us to wake up. They prefer keeping us divided by nationality, by race, by class or wealth, by education, as division is the best way to keep people in line and under their control. I also believe that the new age group of practionners (lightworkers, healers, clairvoyants, and a number of others that believe we are on the wrong path), have a lot of difficulty understanding that money is a tool and thus is not bad or evil onto itself. Its uses can be good or bad, depending on the person using it and for what purpose. What I truly believe is you can be a success in life, AND still provide true lasting value to others in a deeper sense than offering them the latest gadget or Gucci footwear… I believe this book, and review will help you understand that you can be wildly successful and still offfer your messages of love, hope, compassion and peace ! I think Deepak Chopra is a great indicator to this as his Success is worldwide and his books are an inspiration to millions. “Success in life could be defined as the continued expansion of happiness and the progressive realization of worthy goals. Success is the ability to fulfill your desires with effortless ease. And yet success, including the creation of wealth, has always been considered to be a process that requires hard work, and it is often considered to be at the expense of others. We need a more spiritual approach to success and affluence, which is the abundant flow of all good things to you. With the knowledge and practice of spiritual law, we put ourselves in harmony with nature and create with carefreeness, joy, and love.” ~ Deepak Chopra from The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success
Money is not the problem, our ideas and thoughts about Money are. Gandhi stated that we must be the change we wish to see in this world. In a world filled with distractions of all sorts, Instagram here, A vine video here, Facebook Status here, new tv show that reaches out to you personally there, many Difference Makers have trouble getting any traction online or offline. So how do we change their often lofty ideals on how to change the world, and their negative mindsets towards the evil of money.
