HOW TO GET GOOD AT LIFE ~ Robin Sharma


Life is a skill. And like any other skill, once you know the ground rules
and make the time to practice, you can get better. If you really devote
yourself to life, you could even reach a place of mastery. Some have.
I suggest to you that there are 3 simple things you can do
to get good at life:

1) Pay Attention To Life: It's really easy to let life act on you – to fall
asleep to life.. Some people have lost entire decadess this way.. And
they never got them back.. Try and write in a journal each morning before you walk out into your
world. Think about what goals you need to accomplish that day and
write them down. Think about what are your most closely held values.
Think about what lessons you've learned from the previous day.
What good is making a mistake if you don't learn from it?

2) Engage In Life: I've learned something as I've grown older: the more you give to life,, the more it gives to you.. Over dinner last night with some friends, we began to speak of goal-setting.
“But why set goals when life can be so uncertain?” One asked me.
My reply: “Just because life is so unpredictable doesn't mean you
shouldn't exercise your power to do your best. Set your goals. Make
your plans. Take action and chase your dreams. That's what personal
responsibility is all about. But once you've done your best – let go. And
let life do the rest.” She looked deeply into her pad thai.

3) Enjoy Life: We take life too seriously. But at the end, the billionaire gets buried next to the street sweeper. We all end up as dust. And no matter how long you will live, each of us isn't here all that long in the grand scheme of things. So let's not take ourselves too seriously. Let's enjoy the ride.

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

The truth behind the truth!

What is truth? Maybe the truth about truth is there is no Truth, just perception or consciousness. Just as we can't taste sound or hear yellow or smell hard, truth is just perceptual and subjective to the mode of perception. Yellow is true to the eyes because they can see it, yet not true for the ears because they can't hear it. And yet both are valid perceptual avenues. Reality is the illusion Thought/Perception/Consciousness is what's real.   In this world there are two kinds of truths: real truth and notions that you have convinced yourself are truth. However as I have always observed, truth is a very subjective phenomenon. Subject to your personal viewpoint or point of reference, which is determined by your perception or  paradigm   So debating about what is true and what is not, is like trying to discredit knowledge with knowledge (e.g. science and religion). The truth is that there is no absolute truth (well not in human perspective) because our perceptions are

WE CANNOT HEAR ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS WE ARE NOT ASKING

It is my truest understanding and belief that this universe is a universe of summoning. It is a plane of constant expansion and becoming. We are living on the edge of creation as we move thoughts forward to fuller expression.This summoning is brought through by the asking, the wondering   and exploration of this time-space reality a nd from which springs forth the answering, and new understandings, which will still brings in more asking. We all unconsciously know this, that's why we are inherently asking, wondering,  and imagining beings, as we are inherently curious and want to know. We  inherently  understand the natural ebb and flow about the  dynamics  universe and how it is expanding all ways.  We all knew and understood that whenever there is an asking, there will be an answer. The Law of Cause and Effect .  We knew and fully understood (even though we cannot remember now) that once we come into these physical plane and take up physical bodies to participate in li
