• Are You One of the Normal Crazy People?
  Psychology proves that our minds control us, not the other way around - a concise definition of madness. But you don't need to be a pschologist to know that normal people are crazy - there's evidence all around you in your daily life! The question is: "Are you fed-up enough with what you're not getting out of life to do something about it?" If you only realised that it takes small changes to make giant leaps!

• The Biggest Challenge In Your Life
  All the problems that you've got in life are simply things that you need to deal with. If you rise to life's great challenge and take control of your own mind you will be perfectly equipped to take the necessary action. This is not an option for the normal mind which misinterprets what's going on and automatically reacts, often making matters worse. Here are some thoughts - and actions that you can take - to take control of the levers of power.

• Fresh Eyes Fresh Opportunities
  It's difficult to see the opportunity that's staring you in the face if you've got your eyes closed! The sad fact is, however, that the normal mind ensures that we walk around blind to what's actually happening. In order to open your eyes and mind you're going to have to break the link between cognition and re-cognition - the psychological process that's got us all into so much difficulty. Here are a couple of concrete suggestions.

• Making A Good Impression
  If you're worried about making a good impression, you're not! Instead, you've divided your mind between doing what you're doing and thinking about it. What's worse is that your mind is already divided - an important part of it isn't present at all. To make a good impression you have to turn up mentally as well as physically. That means that you've to learn how to focus on what's real - not the liimiting beliefs that are holding you back.

• Are You Suffering From Low Self Esteem
  There is no such thing as low self esteem. If you think you're suffering from it, you're letting your mind play tricks on you. Our subconscious, by default, focuses on early-years conditioning - this is where your feelings of inadequacy come from. You've got to drag your subconscious attention away from those self-defeating thoughts and bring it to its senses. You do this by learning how to focus on reality - then your false reality will vanish.

• Personal Development Tip: Clear Your Mind
  We are muddle-minded people - easily knocked off course by others' agendas, effortlessly distracted by the noise in our own heads. As a result, our lives fall short of what they could be.

• Are You Feeling Frustrated?
  Frustration is part of the human condition. But it's not outside events that frustrate us - frustration is a trick of the mind - it's what we think about outside events that leads to frustration. You've got to stop paying attention to the useless thoughts in your head and start paying attention to reality. Focus - on what's real, not the resident evil in your head - is what leads to a happy, successful and fulfilling life.

• Dealing With The Noise In Your Head
  Our self limiting beliefs drag us down. But, although we're unaware of it, they pervade every waking moment, dictate every reaction and behaviour and, as a result, create our lives. All this happens subconsciously. In other words, the garbage in your head creates the garbage in your life - you need to stop giving it your attention, even your subconscious attention. It's time to start giving your attention to reality instead.

• How To Budget For Your Business
  Only normal businesses base next year's targets and budgets on what has gone before. And psychology proves that normal means crazy! Extraordinarily successful businesses take a different approach - you could call it 'outside the box' if, in fact, there actually was a box! Wouldn't you like your business to achieve exceptional success - effortlessly? Well, to do that, you're going to have to change your mindset - that's all.

• Getting Your Strategic Focus Right
  The extraordinarily successful business is extraordinary because it doesn't have an ordinary strategic focus! Your strategic focus must capture the imagination, focus the mind, be compelling and excite the part of you and your team that will make it happen - their subconscious minds. I bet you that you've never come across an MBA course that will tell you how to write such a plan. Here are a few simple, exciting and compelling ideas.

• What Is Gut Instinct?
  When we listen to our gut and act upon it, we generally get it right because gut instinct is real inspiration. But how do you know that it's your gut instinct that's prompting you? How can you tell the difference between real inspiration and something that you're thinking because you've seen others doing? You need to go beyond your cluttered mind and, even then, learn from trial and error.

• Personal Development Is A Lifestyle Choice
  Did you realize that your life's how it is because of all the choices you've made? Did you realize you could change it all? But did you know that the steps you need to take, although not great, need to be taken every day. Your personal development needs to be part and parcel of your daily life. Commitment and perseverance are the hallmarks of great success. And your life could be a great success.

• All You Need is Focus
  Focus is the key to getting everything that you want in life. Yet psychology tells us that the normal mind is pretty much disabled when it comes to focus. More importantly, pschology also tells us that focus, happiness and success are inter-related. So, obviously, we've to train ourselves to focus or, at its most basic, simply pay attention to the here and now. And you won't find any better mental workout than meditation.

• I Won't Recommend Any More Self Help Books
  Leading authors continually churn out books in the name of self improvement - their own! All the evidence suggests that, for all the billions spent annually on self help books, they don't help. And I've the statistics to prove it - the world is not a happier place, people are more stressed, more worried. It appears to me that buying and reading a self help book is like drooling over a holiday brochure but not bothering to go on holidays!

• Goal Setting or Goal Getting
  The problem with goals is that they're future-focused. And life is lived right now. And it's what you do right now - and how you do it - that will determine whether or not you achieve your goals. Goal getting is far more important than goal setting. In this article I focus on the key skill that is required to get enable you get your goals - proper focus. If you're focused on what you're doing now, everything else falls into place.

  What is focus? Is it about doing what you're doing to the very best of your ability right here and now? Yes it is - that's how highly successful people are highly successful.

• Understanding Awareness
  Awareness is a prerequisite to self improvement. Yet the normal mind is unaware and much that has been written about awareness complicates what is a simple experience. If you deliberately focus on what you're feeling right now, you will discover that the real world is very different to where you think you are. This insight will get you in touch with reality and open up your mind to the abundance of opportunity that is all around you.

  You'll never achieve your goals if you're not sure and certain as to what they are! Too often, our goals are about things that we want to get rid of from our lives.

• Change and Fear of Change
  If you want to change your life you have a problem! We are psychologically hard-wired to be creatures of habit and change averse. When we do things habitually, we do them without giving them any attention. And because, sooner or later, everything and everyone becomes routine, we end up living mindlessly - where we want to change but we can't take the necessary action. But there is something simple that you could be doing straight away.

• Why Now is So Important
  Most people have got it wrong - they think that focusing on their goals is what must be done to achieve them. But the future is determined by how you invest your energy now. And, sadly, we seem to be unable to focus our energy and attention on the here and now. It's how we're hard-wired. Si, you've got to take steps to re-learn how to pay attention to the only place that life is lived - here and now. Your life depends upon it.

• So, You're Still Not Happy
  Reading about how others have transformed their lives isn't going to do it for you. In fact, those feel good books might make you feel worse - because, for most of us, nothing ever changes. You've got to take action to change your life. Nothing drastic is required because your life, lived in moments, is transformed moment by moment too.

• Finding Peace of Mind
  The only place that you can find peace of mind is... in your own mind. It's obvious. What's also obvious from many years of psychological research is that the normal mind is one of the places that you're least likely to find peace and quiet - we're hard-wired to be the exact opposite. So, to find that inner peace, you have to understand what you're up against and learn how to turn off the noise in your head. And it's easily done.

  The normal mind lives in a world of make-believe - more like a series of bad re-runs! And, even if you're content with your normal life, you're missing out on one of the great wonders of the world - reality! If you experience reality - and then train yourself to keep experiencing it - your life will never be the same. You will have opened up a world of adventure, potential, peace and happiness.

• How to Stop Worry
  Worry is a concoction of a normal mind. Who, in their right mind, would focus their attention on the very things that they do not want to happen? And, yet, that is exactly what worry is. It appears that we are predisposed to worry - it is a choice that we subconsciously make again and again. However, if you understand the importance of focusing on the now, and know how to do it, in coming to your senses, you'll understand the nonsense of worry.

• How to Control Your Mind and Change Your Life
  You cannot control your life. But you won't even influence it if you don't bother to control the one thing that you can - your own state of mind. Your mood, how you feel about yourself and the world at large is dictated by an out-of-control subconscious that is obsessed with your past. It uses that past to make sense of the present - and makes nonsense of it. Grab a hold of yourself, grab a hold of your mind and change your life.

• Money - The Currency of Fools and Idiots
  Happiness and success have nothing to do with money. When will all these self-styled personal development and self improvement gurus get that into their head?

You've got to acclimatize your mind in a disciplined, deliberate manner.

• Curing Your Own Depression
  It is normal to suffer from depression because it is normal for the subconscious mind to focus on childhood events that shaped our self-image. It's just that, if you're depressed, your childhood snapshots are more negative than average. By default the subconscious focuses on the past. But you can cure your own depression by retraining your mind to focus on now. You could do it easily as a child - you can do it now and it will change your life.

• Self Improvement? No Need!
  Nobody needs 'self-improvement', nobody needs to learn anything new. We need to unlearn the nonsense that seeped into our subconscious when we were young and impressionable.

  Psychology proves it. Normal people are crazy and they hang out in gangs! Herd mentality has been proven to be poisonous and, at this very moment, it is poisoning your life. How many effortlessly happy and successful people do you hang around with? Your ability to be effortlessly happy and successful depends on you being different. You've got to break away from the herd - but don't lose to much sleep over it, once you've gone, no one will care.

• Knowing What Turns You On
  There's no point in wanting more out of life if you haven't a clue what 'more' you want! Your mind focuses on things that it can see, touch, feel and hear. If all you know is that you want more than what your life is now, your mind will focus on what you're trying to get away from - and you'll never escape. And we need to escape, from routine, from boredom, from our obsession with money. Capture your own imagination to change your life.

• Time to be Inspired
  Life's not worth living if you settle for the normal and the mundane. That's why so many people pursue the route of personal development or self improvement. But your life can be utterly changed if you simply give yourself the necessary space and time to be inspired, to suddenly understand what are the important things that you've got to do now - and with the rest of your life. And, if you become inspired, you will also become an inspiration.

• Personal Development and the Curious Case of the Intimate Stranger
  Coincidence plays a big part in our lives if we'd only open our eyes to it. The normal mind and eyes are closed. We think we know what's going on and think we know how we're going to get what we want out of life. But, think about it, life doesn't work that way - you are where you are as a result of apparently chance meetings with people who were complete strangers. You'd better keep your eyes open for the next one... it could change your life.

  Daily life is full of challenges. But these are not the real challenge - the real challenge is within. Are you up to coping with what life throws at you?

• Personal Development - Get Out of Your Trance State!
  Chances are that you're not living the life that you want and, in fact, you're going through the motions day after day. Fact is that the normal mind is "not all there". It is either living in your childhood years or actively worrying about the future. To get the life you want, you're going to have to start living in the only time and place there is - here and now. You've got to turn up to life to live it. If you do, it will change your life.

• Changing Your Life - It's Up to You
  Personal development websites and self improvement books are fine but, sooner or later, you'll have to put what you've picked up into practice. And you'll have to make sure that your head is in the right place every single day because life is lived one day at a time and our adult default mental settings mean that we will always revert to type unless we keep up and build on our personal development learning. Don't just wake up, stay awake.

• Looking Forward or Living
  Life is lived in the here and now. There's no other place or time that exists in reality. Yet we seem to spend our lives looking forward (never mind subconscious looking back) positively: to the weekend or holidays - negatively: we know this one as worry! We seem to be hard-wired for looking forward but, until you stop it, you will never be able to create the life that you really want. That comes as a result of action in the here and now.

  If you're a normal adult, you're not living - psychology confirms this. Your perception of what is happening now is created by reference to "stored knowledge" that we all learned when we were actually fully alive - when we were young children.

We get down when things don't go our way, we get a kick out of something as simple as a compliment! Your mood shouldn't be so susceptible to external factors which we can't control when we can totally control our own state of mind.

  If you're suffering from low self esteem, you're simply fooling yourself. No one else is involved, no outside event has made you feel this way and, in fact, no aspect of reality whatsoever plays any part in your feelings. They come from your own subconscious and they are irrelevant to the here and now. Self esteem will only cause you a problem if you don't get to know the real, attractive, impressive, high-potential person that you really are.

  If there are things about your life that you would like to change, you have to change them yourself. If you've tried and become frustrated, it's because you've taken on too big a task. You need to start small or, better again, start by tugging at the little habits that form the foundations of your present life. In breaking mindless routine you will dismantle the fabric that confines your life to its present form and change your life effortlessly.

• The Law of Attraction: What's Best for You
  The Law of Attraction suggests that we can get what we want out of life. Quantum physics confirms that this is how the universe works. But, which is better, getting what you want or getting what is truly best for you? You'd be better off developing your ability to be clear, present and in flow. Then universal energy can take you on a journey of self-discovery and abundance that is beyond the imagination of the normal mind. You need to be in flow.

• Has a Self Help "Guru" Ripped You Off?
  Self help means that you must help yourself. You need to gather the appropriate information or guidance but after that you're on your own. You do not need to develop a dependence on some "guru" which, more often than not, will leave you worse off than you were at the outset. No rites of passage are required. You do not need to pay some "guru" thousands of dollars to awaken that which only you can awaken yourself - the potential within.

• How to Build Self Confidence
  Trying to build your self-confidence is like papering over the cracks in a building that doesn't exist. The voices in your head that tell you "know you can't" are neither real nor relevant to here and now. You need to stop giving them your attention by paying attention, instead, to the present moment. If you're more present, you develop your presence - the hallmark of all those successful people who know better than to focus of self-confidence.

  Are there benefits to living in "The Now" as described by Ekhart Tolle? Or would we be better off living our normal lives where we sometimes reminisce about the past or look forward to the future? Well, if you're not focused in the present moment, how will you be able to do your very best? Will universal energy bother to respond (as quantum physics proves it does) if you don't bother to turn up? The only time and place to live is here and now.

• Success - Mediocrity - Failure. You Choose!
  Every moment of every day you subconsciously make choices. These choices create your life. Without ever knowing it, you choose between success and failure. Most poeple choose in between - mediocrity - most people's lives are "not too bad". But "not too bad" is not good enough. Why not learn how to make the choice for yourself - consciously. Why not become aware and present to the reality of what life has on offer for you in the here and now.

• Does Anyone Need Personal Development?
  Personal development is big business. And, yet, all the psychological evidence, relating to how children use their minds as compared to adults, indicates that the so-called "normal" adult needs some personal un-development rather than personal development! Exlpore how the adult mind lives in places that bear no resemblance to the reality of the present moment - in stark contrast to the way children's open minds experience reality as it is.

• How to Build Self Esteem
  Self esteem is an illusion - whether you're suffering from low self esteem or you're on a high - the concept is a creation of your personality - and your personality isn't real - it's a mask that hides you from your own inner potential. Understand this, take a little "exercise" to side-step your personality and - lo and behold - you'll find the real you - and all you're really capable of.

• How to be a Life Coach at 25
  Life coaching is all the rage. But how many life coaches are really adequately equipped to help their clients? And, for that matter, does anyone really need a life coach? This article explains the evidence that's already available to confirm that everyone has the answers they need - within. Really successful people call it gut instinct. Artists (and scientists) call it inspiration. Discover your own inner inspiration - here's how.

• Living Dangerously
  So-called normal people live dangerously by not really living at all. Research shows that normal people use only 1% of their mental capacity to focus on the task in hand, in the here and now. Yet people who really do live dangerously - those who practice extreme sports - provide us with an important insight into how we can all really live life to the full - and experience true happiness and success. Paying attention is the key.

• Doing the Right Thing
  The world is full of examples of people doing the wrong thing. On the other hand, doing the right thing has so many benefits - because, what goes around really does come around - modern quantum physics proves it. But how would you know what the right thing is in each situation - particularly when lots of little wrongs get done that seem OK because everyone's doing it! Take stock, switch on - your inner self knows what's right.

• More Strategies for Effortless Business Success
  Most businesses are like most people - normal! That means they are dysfunctional (psychological research proves this) and mediocre - planning next year's "success" based on this year's "failure". They define "success" in comparative and competitive terms - a process that's got the world economy into the mess we see before us. Why not adopt an "abnormal" approach to charting and achieving business success? You might just excel - effortlessly!

• Get Your Head in the Game
  Your subconscious mind controls every aspect of your daily behaviour - so, you subconsciously create your version of "reality". Unfortunately, most people - "normal" poeple, don't know how to grab a hold of their subconscious power. You need to get your head in the game - make sure that you start each day totally switched on. If you do, you'll create a whole new experience - a whole new you - a whole new life.

• Barack Will Save Us All!
  There is a great expectation that Barack Obama's election to the White House has changed everything. Yet, as the Mahatma Gandhi said, ordinary people create real change - and, in fact it was ordinary people's belief and expectation that got Obama elected. At present, there's a lot of negative expectation about - the good news is that psychology andn quantum physics prove that expectation, which is contangious, works positively too!

• Get Your Priorities Right - Meditate
  At present, people are anything but calm! Yet, a calm, focused mind works wonders. If you are calm, you stop reacting and start taking real action. Calm develops your peace of mind which, in turn, affects others - because state of mind is contagious. In fact calm affects people way beyond your own friends and family and can even reduce crime rates. We all need to calm down - to put our own peace of mind first. We all need to meditate.

• Are You Adding to the Gloom and Doom?
  Continually talking and reading about bad news adds to the affect that bad news has on our common consciousness. We are all contributing to the global downturn simply by talking about it. Yet, quantum physics tells us that energy is responsive. Psychology tells us that state of mind is contagious. You can choose to spread the contagion or start a new flow - a flow based on all that's good in our lives. Start that new flow today.

• Labels Kill (or the bizarre behaviour of normal people)
  "Normal" behaviour is dictated by our subconscious which, "normally" is focused in the past - when we were young and impressionable. One of the most destructive normal behaviours is the way we label people. We offend, hurt and kill each other because of those "labels". And, yet, that behaviour is just a big bad habit, developed over thousands of years. The good news is that we can break even the biggest habits by breaking little ones first.

• How to Motivate Yourself
  Even when things are going well, we need to make sure that we get and stay motivated. And now, when many are finding the going tough, self-motviation is even more important. Affirmation - often recommended as a way to "turn yourself on" - won't do it. Positive thinking won't do it. You need to start a dialogue with your inner self - because if you can get past your habitual behaviour into your subconscious mind - then, you're on a winner.

  With so much bad news around, with so many people talking negatively, with so much anxiety and worry around - it's not easy to stay positive.

• Achieving Business Success in This Recession
  Effortless success in business is now just as achievable as in any other economic environment. It's all about state of mind and whether you are able to focus on the job in hand or prefer to wallow in the "gloom and doom" in which everyone is currently investing their energy. Harness you mental energy - invest it in the present moment - and see an "unbelievable" return on that investment.

• So Many Self-Help Books - So Little Change
  Bookshops are full of "popular psychology" and "self-help" books - yet most lives stay the same and the world appears to be in a bigger mess than ever. The problem is that an intellectual understanding of "self-improvement" books is not enough - and, in fact, can be quite dangerous. You need to experience the difference between being "normal" and the "altered state of mind" in which you can clearly see the way towards happiness and success.

• Create the life you want - in the real world - really!
  People are increasingly resorting to the virtual world to take their minds off the "not too bad" lives that they think they have in the so-called "real world". What is really strange about this is that years of published research and thousands of self-help books explain that your current life is a creation of your own thinking and, by the same token, the life you really want can be created by you changing your mind. Really! In the real world!

• How to Deal With Fear, Stress and Anxiety
  Fear, anxiety and stress are all very "real" experiences of modern living. These emotions are nothing other than useless thoughts which disable us from dealing with the stresses and strains of life. If we allow our minds to play tricks on us, by "entertaining" these thoughts, then we open up the floodgates of suffering. The very real alternative is to take control of our minds and put to them to use in creating the life that we really want.

• Are You a Leader - Or Are You a Loser?
  What's the difference between a "leader" and a "manager"? The answer - "leaders" have more presence than normal people. Anyone can rise through the ranks to become a "manager" or a "CEO" - but only some of us are born leaders! Wrong! We all have the innate ability to lead - because, in fact, we were all born leaders in the first place. We all had "presence" as little children - we need to re-learn what comes naturally and change our lives.

• Boring Minds - Boring Lives
  Normal people (that's most of us) lead normal, mundane lives. Most people are unhappy in their work. Successful people think they paid too high a price for success. Few people are truly happy. Why? Because we're boring. We do the same things, most days, habitually. Our minds are bored because we're so well equipped to do our routine tasks automatically. The same automaticity bores our minds. And boring minds create boring lives.

• How to Cope When Things Go Wrong
  Life is full of ups and downs. Too often, the "downs" overwhelm us. We react and make things worse instead of calming down, seeing what is really happening and taking real action to sort things out. We must understand that, in fact, there's only one thing in life that we can control - our own state of mind. If we do, we can positively influence everything else that's going on around us and, when the wheels do come off, take real action.
