Holistic Junkie Publications

Recently I have started a new business venture that I am both excited and a bit nervous about because it’s something I have never done before. And I was reading a book by one of the great leaders in this business Jim Dornan, and in his book he touched on an interesting subject of Forgiveness. It was interesting so much for me because it reminded me of the incident back at my house between my mom and brother. They had a squabble over something that I think was trivial but of course if one is determined to be right, even the smallest of things get blown out of proportion. So after they had their misunderstanding (often that is just the case between arguments), I noticed how my mother was affected by her inability to just let things be and let it go. She was just adamant to inflict some emotional blackmail upon my brother by continuing to choose to cling to the poison of grudge. (Often times this is a mechanism used by parents and even us at times, to get people to do our will instea...

"I only write Wisdom." Some may say that is rather arrogant of me to claim but the reason I say that is, I don't have only one reference to the insights I share. Some come from esoteric truths, others, from financial books, and others even from the bible. And that's one fundamental truth I live and know, that "there is truth in everything. There is wisdom in all paths." The traveler will be able to grasp the truth of the path before him if he is open in heart and mind; For all paths are meant to bring us closer to self-actualization of who we really are, even though at times our perceptions and understandings may limit us seeing that. With that being said I want to bring your eyes to the wisdom from bible on goal setting. Yes the bible. It says "Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it...

"A man can choose to be anything. He can partake in, be a part of anything that he wants to. He can become a beast, he can become a god. He can do anything." This thought keeps reappearing in all the writings of man. It states that we become what we choose to become whether we realise it or not. This is so true because as I grow older, I notice just how broad my being is. BEING : the continuous movement of becoming!! As a high school pupil I only saw myself as a math and science student whose aim was to be a master of science and nothing more. And then in  first year varsity I noticed my perception   grew   from a science student to one whose aim was to be a respectable chemical engineering professional, then suddenly I noticed that not only do I love science, but I have a proclivity for some business,  philosophy and even writing who knew!! And then that grew to psychology, which grew to  philosophy and spirituality and all of this my high-school-year old...

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 ar...

Is there ever a time where its reasonable to have faith? Like really. When is it reasonable to have faith? Because if you think about it, whenever its reasonable to have faith it is no longer faith but just rationalisation.. When you have reasons to have faith its just that, reasons. Faith has no reason either than you really wanting something. Faith is not based on any concrete evidence, ever. Faith is the decision of a mind to maintain a disciplined positive expectation of a desired outcome.. And most of us fail in this because our faith fluctuates.. Usually we want reasons to have faith.. The most interesting part in life is that most of who we desire to be is dependant on faith. Just choosing to expect the best and that is independent of any religious beliefs or philosophy. Its a consistent act of a person to choose faith over fear, fear over not having concrete evidence to back it up. Faith is the complete surrender of the need to control things and to have it all f...

Your path, journey, is uniquely yours. No other being has and will ever walk or experience it but you.   You're the most special and specific being to walk this path you're on. Your exploration of this path and varieties that it comes with is uniquely adding to the expansion of not only you but the overall expansion of Source, All-That-Is. Your wonderful participation is of immense value and it would be nice if you began to see that. You are the physical manifestation of the energy that fills the entire universe and dimensions. You are extensions of Source Energy and the life path that you are living is uniquely yours. Your life is an outgrowth of desires; desires you've had even before you came into this physical reality, and which desires are what are constantly guiding your ship from the moment of  your first heartbeat (you came with intentions). They are forever present, and moving you about through this life together with each of your now-present desires yo...

There's something really challenging that happens when your life, your identity and your focus is always on the "next big thing", you stop enjoying and appreciating where you are right now. You become so focused and obssessed on getting some place else that you never give yourself permission to just be okay with your life and situations right in this moment. "Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it."  ~ William Feather In this life it is important that you cultivate a fuel source that essentially says, "l am having a blast creating this big vision as I go." By focusing too greatly on the future and forgetting the present, you are setting yourself up for disappointment by postponing your happiness. You deserve to be happy and fulfilled right now. Nothing new or different needs to happen for you to realise that your life is meaningful and purposeful right now...

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...

Imagine living in a world where every movie you see has the same story line. Imagine if the only choice of drink was water and the only flavor of ice cream was chocolate (okay maybe that one wouldn't be so bad). Imagine that every conversation with every person made the same point. And imagine that every day had the same ending and that every thought reflected the same idea. There's a point I'm getting to. Please stay with me. When I go into organisations to help inspire, develop and elevate employees so they play at world-class levels (and I've been crisscrossing this planet on this Leadership Crusade for nearly ten years now), I often see mission statements espousing a respect for diversity. "We at ClientCo value differences and cherish diversity." And, most of the companies I work with actually do. But here's my question: Do you? Do you really get the brilliance of diversity? When you really think about it, it's the people who see the world through ...

Are your dreams big enough? Do they scare you? Are they so ridiculously big that you are often embarrassed or hesitant to share them? Such questions can't help but arise as one decides to craft an extraordinary life; a life that many wish for and yet few accomplish. I read an article on Felix Baumgartner not long ago, after hearing from a friend about what he did. If you are unfamiliar with him, his the Red Bull Dare Devil who sky jumped from the stratosphere  and set a world record for the highest jump and being the first man to break the sound barrier of a vehicle reaching a supersonic speed of 1.24 Mac .. I have to admit, watching the video I was probably more terrified than he was, because of the view; it was just too spectacular (and very high) like that you would usually see on those national geographic space programs... This brings me to BIG DREAMS. It is a scary thing to attempt to do, be, or have so...
