And then narrowing it down to 5 or 10?

How ’bout if we take most of the difficulty out of it?

What if you made an agreement with yourself to ALWAYS honor your intuition?

No matter how embarrassing.

No matter how puzzling.

No matter how little you — or anyone else involved — understood in the moment ( or ever) why you might be getting the instruction to do or say a certain thing.

What do you think the overall results (more…)

Life isn’t about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself

Friday, August 18th, 2006

by Scott Ginsberg

BE brilliant at the basics. Be the change you want to see in the world. Be the first one. Be the only one. Be unforgettable. Be interesting. Be a sleeper. Be that guy. Be the world’s expert on yourself. Be better than yesterday, but not as good as tomorrow. Be confident enough to be humble. But be somebody who reminds everybody of nobody else in the world.

AND DON’T wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t sell, enable people to buy. Don’t let the bastards get you down. Don’t be weary in well doing, for in due season you will reap a great harvest if you faint not. And don’t wait for the mainstream to (more…)

Cinnamon — just a tiny bit — brings down high blood sugar in Type 2 Diabetes study

by Ken Winston Caine

You may already know that cinnamon is an anti-inflammatory — one that nicely complements ginger and turmeric.

Now test tube, animal and human studies are confirming that cinnamon lowers blood sugar.

As little has 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoonful of cinnamon per day lowered blood sugar by roughly 20% in a recent U.S. Agricultural Research Service study involving 60 diabetic volunteers who were not using insulin.

Added bonus: Their cholesterol and tryglyceride levels dropped, too.

Double bonus: Other studies have shown (more…)

‘Love is the meaning of life’ — wisdom from Marianne Williamson

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

Love is what we are born with.

Fear is what we learn.

The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts.

Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth.

To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life.

Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in (more…)

Anthony Robbins’s secret: Learn to ‘vibrate’ success

Sunday, August 6th, 2006

By the time Tony walked in to meet with Jack, he
was “vibrating”. If you want to be wealthy and happy,
then the only way to achieve success is to vibrate
confidence. So when you walk in a room, the whole
room notices you. Your presence projects success. Your
voice communicates success. Your body posture
communicates success. Everything (more…)

Healthy Mexican food: My 4-minute wet, spicy, jalepeno navy bean burrito

Saturday, August 5th, 2006

Quick. Easy to fix. Tasty. Healthy. Less expensive than a Taco Bell plain bean burrito and twice as good.

Calling it a burrito is a New Mexico stretch. It’s kin to the Santa Fe “smothered” burrito. You can’t pick this up to eat it. You eat it with a fork on a plate.

Ingredients:

- 1/3 can of Trappey’s Jalepeno Navy Beans
- Whole wheat tortilla (more…)
