The Anatomy of Self-Sabotage and How to Crush It

by

Flowers in Beth England

I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the Astonishing Light of your own Being. ~Hafiz

It turns out there is after all a name for that irrational, incessant and intrusive behavior which we so precisely insert between ourselves and success. It doesn’t take a psychology degree to recognize this mental obstacle. It is called self-sabotage and it is a beast. If you say you have never met with this beast, I will guess you must then be on top of your game and at the peak of your life because it is unimaginable what we can achieve without self-sabotage.

10 Quick Ways to Stop Doing Things You Hate

by

It’s difficult to follow your dream. It’s a tragedy not to. ~Oprah.

There is no reason good enough to do things you hate.

There is no reason for you to be doing anything that you hate. No reason good enough, no explanation worthy enough that you will want to hear after the sun has set on your youth, your beauty, and your opportunities as to why you continued doing things you hated day in and day out. Some say it’s easier said than done to learn how to stop doing things you hate, but I say it’s easier to learn to do it than to live a life of regret and false security.

Destiny Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is like having children. I will explain. First of all, it is not for everyone — sorry if that shocks you on either side of the statement; the truth tends to do that to me too. The simple truth is that you must be made for them to survive and thrive.

Much like having children, you fall in love instantly, completely and irreversibly. Love takes but an instant to overwhelm you when the right thing comes along. But with children, you exclaim, there is the physical and biological bond. Not always. Take a look at adopted children; their parents love them instantly, deeply and truly despite lack of those bonds. [Read more…] about 51 Reasons Why Entrepreneurship Is My Path to Fulfillment

The Importance of Practice: Use it or Lose it

Yoga Practice Pincha Mayurasana

“A genius! For 37 years I’ve practiced fourteen hours a day, and now they call me a genius!” —Pablo Sarasate (Spanish violinist)

Give Practice some Glory

Practice deserves a lot more glory around here, frankly. It is far too often the unpopular accompaniment to success and stardom. It is the unworthy servant next to Gods of fame and fortune. Practice hardly makes cocktail conversation, much less a serious topic of every day discussion and attention.

Today, I am going to put practice up on a pedestal, shower it with glory and worship it all over again. Today, I am choosing to remember the importance of practice and the essence of true growth and improvement. [Read more…] about The Importance of Practice: Use it or Lose it
