What you link pain to and what you link pleasure to shapes your destiny....



One decision that has made  a tremendous difference in the quality of my life is that an early age I began to link incredible pleasure to Learning.

 I realized that discovering ideas and strategies that could help me to shape human behaviour and emotion could give me virtually everything I wanted in my life. It could get me out of pain and into pleasure.

 Learning to unlock the secrets behind our actions could help me to become more healthy, to feel better physically, to connect more deeply with the people I cared about.

 Learning provided me with something to give, the opportunity to truly contribute something of value to all those around me. It offered me a sense of joy and fulfillment. At the same time, I discovered an even more powerful form of pleasure, and that was achieved by sharing what I'd learned in a passionate way. 

When I began to see that what I could share helps people increase the quality of their lives, I discovered the ultimate level of pleasure! And my life's purpose began to evolve. 

What are some of the experiences of pain and pleasure that have shaped your life? 

Whether you've linked pain or pleasure to drugs, for example, certainly has affected your destiny. So have the emotions you've learned to associate to cigarettes or alcohol, relationships, or even the concepts of giving or trusting...

The Magnificent Obsession - Creating A Compelling Future....

GIANT GOALS PRODUCE GIANT MOTIVATION So often, people ask me, "Where do I get my energy? With all that intensity, no wonder you're so successful. I just don't have your drive; I guess  I'm not motivated. I guess I'm lazy." My usual response is, "You're not lazy! You just have impotent goals!" Frequently I get a confused look to this response, at which point I explain that my level of excitement and drive comes from my goals. Every morning when I wake up, even if I feel physically exhausted from a lack of sleep, I'll still find the drive I need because my goals are so exciting to me. They get me up early, keep me up late, and inspire me to marshal my resources and use everything I can possibly find within the sphere of my influence to bring them to fruition. The same energy and sense of mission is available to you now, but it will never be awakened  by puny goals. The first step is to develop bigger, more inspiring, more challenging ...

The Path to Wellness

Beauty is not limited to just the exterior. Beauty is intentionally nature and our physical appearance is just a small part of it. Therefore one should endeavour  to look beyond size, weight, height or skin colour to transform our personality. A number of self help books will tell you how to deal with the many aspects of one's life. To live a wholesome life one needs to transform the way we look at nutrition, grooming and attitude towards our day-to-day life. Beauty is not limited to just the exterior - size, weight, height or skin colour. Beauty is internal in nature and our physical appearance is only a part of it. Therefore one should endeavour to look beyond external factors to transform our personality. The first step in this transformation  is the acceptance of the fact that we are beautiful as we are. The important thing is to take good care of our skin,, hair  and body by eating well, exercising and maintaining basic hygiene. One must pay attention to their ...

WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE SET GOALS?

You might be thinking right now, "Well, this all sounds so inspiraional, but surely just setting a goal doesn't make it happen." I couldn't agree with you more. All goal setting must be immediately followed by both the development of a plan, and massive and consistent action toward its fulfillment. You  already have this power to act. If you haven't been able to summon it, it's merely because you have failed to set goals that inspire you.  What's holding you back? Surely you've been exposed to the power of goal setting before. But do you have a list of clearly defined goals for the results you will absolutely produce in your life mentally, emotionally,physically, spiritually, and financially? What has stopped you? For many it's the unconscious fear of disappointment. Some people have set goals in the past and failed to achieve them and, as a result of their disappointment and their fear of future pain, they stop setting goals. They don't ...
