SIMPLIFY

Simplicity is the order of mastery.
Making life simple is what mastery is all about, and heavens know how challenging that can be, especially nowadays where we are bombarded with so much information and influence. But the key to simplification is personal values. And the key to that is finding out your values in life, and then conducting yourself in accordance with those values. What you will usually find out or begin to see is that your values will be centred on what you are being (happy, generous, wise) and not so much on what you are doing.
But how does one find out their true values and start being and living by them? The first key to any form of mastery is studying and observing. First key principle to self-mastery is study and observation; this is also the key to Wisdom. Hold yourself up for scrutiny. Take a  good look at your present truths and assumptions. Are they serving you? Question your own assumptions and conclusions. If you find that your present truths are no longer suited to the person you are wanting to be, allow them to morph into something that best voice out your values and truest self. Base it upon your own intuition and not what many believe is true.
This is how you craft your own personal philosophy which is the major determining factor to how your life turns out. And this will outlay your conduct and simplify your life... Many are busy upholding values and conducts that no longer serve them well in the name of religion or traditions, which makes their lives complicated due to not allowing their new found truth and values to guide their journey.
The wonderful thing that you will begin to notice when you are on your path to finding your truth and simplifying your life is that, the more you find and allow it to be, the less you feel the need to push against anyone else's in order to justify the rightness of your values...

Self-mastery is about self-transformation and simplicity. Mastery is about simplifying things. So if life is complicated, it’s a sign that you have not yet mastered yourself.

Business 101: Becoming an Investor.

What is one of the key disciplines that any successful corporation practises? INVESTING. Every business relies on investing for success, and for the incredibly successful businesses they invest like crazy; in R&D, and product lines. Heck, even our own economy relies on investors in order to grow. So why not be an investor. Probably the first and almost immediate objection to this suggestion is "I don't have money to invest." And I for one, am completely in agreements with that. However, why not invest the one resource that you always have at your disposal - TIME . That's right. Invest your time. Ah, suddenly it seems so obvious now doesn't it, but would you like to guess on how many people actually overlook this important fact? (By the way, this is can well be a lecture on time management). And since all investment have the dominant factor of Time in them, why not begin by turning your focus on this one incredible resource and use it to your personal investmen

Generation eXcellence

I was reading some wonderful notes from Robin Sharma's Little Black Book of Stunning Success ( http://www.robinsharma.com/leadership-best ) and a thought crossed my mind: have we settled for mediocrity in our society?  Have we  allowed ourselves to tolerate mediocrity in our lives, because the truth is we interact with the aspects of the world which match our own standards. We see the world not as it is but as we are . How often do we offer less than our best to the quality of relationships with ourselves and things.? Are we allowing the quality of our lives be compromised due to what everybody else is doing? This is even evident  to how we  treat nature. The care with which we have for our natural environment is something of grave concern, and many defend this mediocre behaviour with "everybody else is doing it." and the worst one yet, "We are creating jobs for others"  Have we accepted mediocrity to be the order of our generation's existence?

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” ~ Gandhi.  How often have you had the thought of changing the world? If you are anything like me, I have it more often than I have a glass of warm milk with cookies (okay that’s wacky...anyway). Or maybe it is something more like,” how can one act make a difference?” but all to often for many people another thought creeps in, “Who am I? I am just a small drop in the ocean.” (see the picture on the left) Or, “It takes a really special, gifted, and powerful person to even think of changing the world. And “ I am neither special nor gifted, let alone powerful.” If you think you are too small to make a difference, try going to sleep with the mosquito in the room" ~ Dalai Lama Like me, you’ve probably have looked at legendary people who are making it and thought, “what is it that they have that I don’t or lack.” And the answer is – they have the conviction that they can make a difference; that they are an immense and integral part
