A friend of mine posted this today and I feel compelled to share. Some of you may have it already. Great reminder of what we all should be doing.<p /> <div><br /><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Ready to Give Up? 50 Things You SHOULD Give Up… Starting Today.</span><p /> <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Starting today…</span><p />1. Give up trying to be perfect. – The real world doesn’t reward perfectionists, it rewards people who get things done.<p /> 2. Give up comparing yourself to others. – The only person you are competing against is yourself.<p />3. Give up dwelling on the past or worrying too much about the future. – Right now is the only moment guaranteed to you. Right now is life. Don’t miss it.<p /> 4. Give up complaining. – Do something about it.<p />5. Give up holding grudges. – Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness.<p />6. Give up waiting. – What we don’t start today won’t be finished by tomorrow. Knowledge and intelligence are both useless without action.<p /> 7. Give up lying. – In the long-run the truth always reveals itself. Either you own up to your actions or your actions will ultimately own you.<p />8. Give up trying to avoid mistakes. – The only mistake that can truly hurt you is choosing to do nothing simply because you’re too scared to make a mistake.<p /> 9. Give up saying, “I can’t.” – As Henry Ford put it, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right.”<p />10. Give up trying to be everything to everyone. – Making one person smile can change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world. Start small. Start now.<p /> 11. Give up thinking you’re not ready. – Nobody ever feels 100% ready when an opportunity arises. Because most great opportunities in life force us to grow beyond our comfort zones, which means we won’t feel totally comfortable at first.<p /> 12. Give up setting small goals for yourself. – Many people set small goals because they’re afraid to fail. Ironically, setting these small goals is what makes them fail.<p />13. Give up trying to do everything by yourself. – You are the sum of the people you spend the most time with. If you work together, you will be far more capable and powerful than you ever could have been alone.<p /> 14. Give up buying things you don’t need. – Manage your money wisely so your money does not manage you. Do not spend to impress others. Do not live life trying to fool yourself into thinking wealth is measured in material objects.<p /> 15. Give up blaming others for your troubles. – The extent to which you can live your dream life depends on the extent to which you take responsibility for your life. When you blame others for what you’re going through, you deny responsibility – you give others power over that part of your life.<p /> 16. Give up making mountains out of molehills. – One way to check if something is worth mulling over is to ask yourself this question: “Will this matter in one year’s time? Three years? Five years? If not, then it’s not worth worrying about.<p /> 17. Give up trying to live up to the expectations of others. – Work on it for real and exceed your own expectations. Everything else will fall into place.<p />18. Give up the ‘easy street’ mentality. – There is too much emphasis on finding a ‘quick fix’ in today’s society. For example taking diet pills to lose weight instead of exercising and eating well. No amount of magic fairy dust replaces diligent, focused, hard work.<p /> 19. Give up making promises you can’t keep. – Don’t over-promise. Over-deliver on everything you do.<p />20. Give up letting your thoughts and feelings bottle up inside. – People are not mind readers. They will never know how you feel unless you tell them.<p /> 21. Give up beating around the bush. – Say what you mean and mean what you say. Communicate effectively.<p />22. Give up avoiding change. – However good or bad a situation is now, it will change. That’s the one thing you can count on. So embrace change and realize that change happens for a reason. It won’t always be easy or obvious at first, but in the end it will be worth it.<p /> 23. Give up your sense of entitlement. – Nobody is entitled to anything in this world. We are all equal. We breathe the same air. We get what we give. We get what we earn.<p />24. Give up waiting until the last minute. – Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.<p /> 25. Give up being dramatic. – Stay out of other people’s drama and don’t needlessly create your own.<p />26. Give up being anti-athletic. – Get your body moving! Simply take a long, relaxing walk.<p />27. Give up junk food. – You are what you eat.<p /> 28. Give up eating as a means of entertainment. – Don’t eat when you’re bored. Eat when you’re hungry.<p />29. Give up foolish habits that you know are foolish. – Don’t text and drive. Don’t drink and drive. Don’t smoke. Etc.<p /> 30. Give up relationships with people who bring you down. – Saying “no” to right people gives you the time and resources required to say “yes” to right opportunities. Spend time with nice people who are smart, driven and likeminded.<p /> 31. Give up being shy. – Network with people. Meet new people. Ask questions. Introduce yourself.<p />32. Give up worrying about what others think of you. – Unless you’re trying to make a great first impression (job interview, first date, etc.), don’t let the opinions of others stand in your way. What they think and say about you isn’t important. What is important is how you feel about yourself.<p /> 33. Give up trying to control everything. – Life is an unpredictable phenomenon. No matter how good or bad things seem right now, we can never be 100% certain what will happen next. So do you best with what’s in front of you and leave the rest to the powers above you.<p /> 34. Give up doing the same thing over and over again. – In order to grow, you must expand your horizons and break free of your comfort zone. If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting.<p /> 35. Give up following the path of least resistance. – Life is not easy, especially when you plan on achieving something worthwhile. Don’t find the easy way out. Do something extraordinary.<p />36. Give up persistent multi-tasking. – Do one thing at a time and do it right.<p /> 37. Give up thinking others are luckier than you. – The harder you work, the luckier you will become.<p />38. Give up filling every waking moment with commitments and activities. – It’s okay to be alone. It’s okay to do nothing sometimes. Think. Relax. Breathe. Be.<p /> 39. Give up making emotional decisions. – Don’t let your emotions trump your intelligence. Slow down and think things through before you make any life-changing decisions.<p />40. Give up doing the wrong things just because you can get away with it. – Just because you can get away with something doesn’t mean you should do it. Think bigger. Keep the end in mind. Do what you know in your heart is right.<p /> 41. Give up focusing on what you don’t want to happen. – Focus on what you do want to happen. Positive thinking is at the forefront of every great success story. If you awake every morning with the thought that something wonderful will happen in your life today, and you pay close attention, you’ll often find that you’re right.<p /> 42. Give up taking yourself so seriously. – Few others do anyway. So enjoy yourself and have a little fun while you can.<p />43. Give up spending your life working in a career field you’re not passionate about. – Life is too short for such nonsense. The right career choice is based on one key point: Finding hard work you love doing. So if you catch yourself working hard and loving every minute of it, don’t stop. You’re on to something big. Because hard work ain’t hard when you concentrate on your passions.<p /> 44. Give up thinking about the things you don’t have. – Appreciate everything you do have. Many people aren’t so lucky.<p />45. Give up doubting others. – People who are determined do remarkable things. Remember, the one who says it can’t be done should never interrupt the one doing it.<p /> 46. Give up fussing with every beauty product on the market. – Good looks attracts the eyes. Personality attracts the heart. Be proud to be you. That’s when you’re beautiful.<p />47. Give up trying to fit in. – Don’t mold yourself into someone you’re not. Be yourself. Oftentimes, the only reason they want you to fit in is that once you do they can ignore you and go about their business.<p /> 48. Give up trying to be different for the sake of being different. – Nonconformity for the sake of nonconformity is conformity. When people try too hard to be different, they usually end up being just like everyone else who is trying to be different. Once again, be yourself.<p /> 49. Give up trying to avoid risk. – There’s no such thing as ‘risk free.’ Everything you do or don’t do has an inherent risk.<p />50. Give up putting your own needs on the back burner. – Yes, help others, but help yourself too. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now.<p />     And remember, mistakes make us human, failures help us grow, hope keeps us going and love is the reason we’re alive. So keep learning, loving and living. Never give up on yourself…<p /><br />I hope this inspired you as much as it did me!<p /> Best,<p /><p /><p /></div><br /> </div><p /><br />   STAY ACTIVE!<br /> <p></p><p>Ready to Give Up? 50 Things You SHOULD Give Up… Starting Today. <p /> Starting today… <p /> 1.

Often times we lean towards “what we think should be” instead of simply accepting “what is”, which is the reality of the moment.</p> <p>We mistake our susceptibility to hold on to an elusive alternate reality as our suffering. We want so much for our lives to be different from our present lot that we use it as if it is a dramatic plot point in our life story. This is actually just ridiculous. It is as stupid as saying, “Pigs should fly.”</p> <p>Different Reality</p><p>You might say that you certainly don’t think such thoughts. On the contrary, you probably think a lot of these thoughts on a daily basis – “I should have been a…”, “The neighbors should be more…”, “My partner should…”, “If only things were more like…” – and these probably linger in your mind.</p> <p>The danger of wanting reality to be different is that it is pointless. You are only creating a stressful situation for yourself. “What is” already is and there is no merit in arguing with the Now.</p><p>Fighting with “What is” will get you nowhere. Putting emphasis on wishing for an alternate reality in your mind over accepting the reality is ultimately counterproductive. If you say, “I should not have wasted money on that,” nothing will change but it creates worry and negative energy that would weigh you down. It’s like ramming your head against a brick wall – the wall won’t budge anyway, so why allow yourself to be injured?</p> <p>Accepting Reality</p><p>You don’t have to change “What is”. You would not be able to anyway. Accepting reality will instead allow you to move forward. It creates enough elbow room for you to work your way to a better “what is” in the future. By accepting the reality that you’ve wasted money, you can now say, “What can I do now to create more wealth?”</p> <p>You do not necessarily condone your current circumstance by accepting “what is”; you are just giving up your mind’s resistance which is ultimately futile. It takes a conscious effort to accept reality because our tendency for drama, to linger in friction with “what is”, has become an unhealthy habit for most of us. It is all about letting go of what we cannot have.</p> <p>Hanging on to the false hope of changing things now and fighting with “what is” – will always be a losing battle. Accepting “what is”, letting reality be, is not only the proper thing to do but is the first step towards having success.</p> <p><br /></p><p>I wish you well</p><p>Dr K.

It&#39;s called the Triple Filter Test.&quot;<p />&#39;Triple filter?&quot; asked the acquaintance.<p /> &quot;That&#39;s right,&quot; Socrates continued, &quot;Before you talk to me about Diogenes let&#39;s take a moment to filter what you&#39;re going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?&quot;<p />&quot;No,&quot; the man said, &quot;Actually I just heard about it.&quot;<p />&quot;All right,&quot; said Socrates, &quot;So you don&#39;t really know if  it&#39;s true or not. Now let&#39;s try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about Diogenes something good?&quot;<p />&quot;No, on the contrary...&quot;<p />&quot;So,&quot; Socrates continued, &quot;You want to tell me something about Diogenes that may be bad, even though you&#39;re not certain it&#39;s true?&quot;<p />The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued, &quot;You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter, the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about Diogenes going to be useful to me?&quot;<p />&quot;No, not really.&quot;<p />&quot;Well,&quot; concluded Socrates, &quot;If what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even useful, why tell it to me or anyone at all?&quot;</span><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; color: black;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; color: black;"><br /> The man was bewildered and ashamed. This is an example of why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem. <p /></span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Lucida Handwriting; color: black;"><br />  </span><span style="color: black;"></span></p></div></div></div><p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p> </div></div></div></div><span style="color: black;"> </span> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://kenon.posterous.com/socrates-on-gossip-and-rumours">kenon's posterous</a> </p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-5925103762863019282?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-16025669102143171952011-08-21T23:42:00.001-04:002011-08-21T23:42:34.217-04:00<div class='posterous_autopost'><p>We have some AMAZING News!   It&#39;s official!   <a href="http://www.attractfreedom.com/artandscienceofsuccess">The Art and Science of Success</a>: Volume 1 was a tremendous success!<p /> <p /> As you know, a book has to reach the top 100 in any category on Amazon to be considered a bestseller!<p /> <p /> <a href="http://www.attractfreedom.com/artandscienceofsuccess"><img src="http://attractfreedom.com/cropped-wp_headersmall.jpg" height="99" alt="" width="470" /></a></p> <br /><p>Our book FLEW past that!   Amazon.com has documented it as the #1 Bestselling Book in the Leadership and Motivational Business Book categories; #2 in Business Management; and #51 overall.<p /> <p /> We even passed up The Tipping Point and Good to Great!!</p> <br /><p>Exciting!   </p> <br /><p><a href="http://www.attractfreedom.com/artandscienceofsuccess">SEE IT HERE <br /></a></p> <br /><p>I wish you well</p> <br /><p>Dr Ken</p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://kenon.posterous.com/we-did-it">kenon's posterous</a> </p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-1602566910214317195?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-72429730683162829502011-08-14T16:57:00.001-04:002011-08-14T16:57:08.334-04:00<div class='posterous_autopost'><div style="text-align: center;"><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Hope" height="113" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/kenon/g2sIxB9Ga79oNCpXQFtSZ2NpGrUtC7xQ54BVltASh6sNjCbHufDuIXPnK38m/hope.png" width="91" /> </div> <br /></div><br />Let’s talk about hope. <p>Here is my observation: There are two kinds of people – the ones who bring hope and the ones who live in it. Are you a creator who produces hope or one of many who just wish things could be different but does nothing to make it happen and just waits for circumstances to change?</p> <p>Please do not misunderstand, hope is a good thing. It’s what makes people get up in the morning, believing that today may be the start of something beautiful. Without hope, life would be unbearable.</p> <p>However, for the most part, people fail to understand that hope plays only a small role in one’s success. People think that hope entails waiting for people and circumstances to change in their favour. This is positive thinking at its worst. This misconception of hope turns life into a passive and senseless waiting game.</p> <p>Hope Without Action</p> <p>Hope without action takes you nowhere. Only action can bring results; thus, passive hoping can only lead to failed expectations, disappointment and further inactivity. What a lot of people don’t realize is the energy exerted on wishing and waiting for things we don’t have is ultimately wasted. People’s lives become stagnant and they are actually prevented from receiving what they hope for.</p> <p>The sad thing about this is that people tend to romanticize the whole “hoping sans action” bit. People would create a dream for themselves and then simply waits for a sign from heaven. Of course, the sign doesn’t come so our dreamers either dreams up another wish to wait on or just give up the ghost altogether.</p> <p>This kind of hoping can be a dead end. “Hoping for the best” is a sugarcoat for “There’s nothing you can do”, which is unacceptable. I do believe that we can only “hope for the best” if we have already done our best. Do not merely play the waiting game.</p> <p>Waiting has become a way of life for most of us. We are conditioned to wait – we wait in line at the grocery, for the red light to go green, for the next train, for the approval of authorities, and so on. Most people still wait – in false hope – that things will finally change for the better.</p> <p>Hope And Being Powerless</p> <p>A person who just sits on hope is often powerless. The tendency is to offer up an excuse and pin everything on circumstance. There is a sense of being powerless due to the situation. We resist doing our best in such situations knowing that we may be subjected to failure. As a result, we depend on hope simply because it is easier. We give up our own power and then blame situations and other people if our hopes don’t pan out.</p> <p>When we declare statements like, “I believe my fate is in God’s hands”, “The odds are against me”, “I have no choice; there is nothing I can do”, we are making ourselves believe in uncertainty. The statements above are nothing but assumptions. Assumptions are indefinite, vague and unproven. It would be very unwise not to do something and just wait or hope based on an incorrect assumption.</p> <p>Businessmen speak a lot about a return on investment. They gamble, weigh the odds, the profit and loss. As many would agree, the successful ones are those who have seen potential in businesses that most people are likely to overlook. If we use the same concept in our lives, look past the assumptions that scare us from moving forward, then we can make a profitable life. If we act on anything we want regardless of the odds, then we don’t have to look back with questions, even if we failed or succeeded at it.</p> There is certainly nothing wrong with having hope and expectations. Nevertheless, if hope stops us from acting and living in the moment then that is a losing proposition.<p /><br /><p>Dr Ken Onu is the CEO and founder of Attract Freedom.</p> <p>He is an Eye Doctor with a vision to eradicate possibility blindness<b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_trademark_symbol" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_trademark_symbol" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">® <br /> </a></b></p> <p>He is a keen speaker, communicator and entrepreneur.

The reason is that you only put in the requisite amount of effort needed to achieve your goal, not exceed it. If your goal is to lose 5lbs by next month, you need to plan a diet and exercise regime that will ensure you lose 10lbs. Put in more time and effort and you will see better results.<p /> Sounds like a lot of work? That’s because it is! The path to success is never easy. Don’t underestimate the amount of work required to achieve a goal. But increasing your effort makes it that much more certain that you will reach your target.<p /> Take any given situation and you will find that it takes two times as much effort just to stay afloat. Be it your marriage, parenting, weight loss, or business – everything requires two times as much effort! The point is that things may not necessarily be as easy as you thought. If you thought you had to put in three hours of effort a day, put in six. Plan for more.<p /> For instance, during my first year in University, my goal was to get straight A&#39;s in Anatomy. I knew I was not the best student and would have to put in some effort to reach my goal. I thought two hour of study a day should cover it. But instead, I put in four hours of study – Monday to Friday. I knew I had only one chance so I doubled my efforts. The result? Straight A&#39;s. It was hard, but it was worth it. Till today in everything I do, I am reminded that I have to double my effort in order to succeed.<p /> One thing is certain – anything that’s worth achieving is bound to be a challenge. If it isn’t, it probably isn’t worthwhile. The road to success is strewn with chaos. And if you find yourself on a smooth ride, then you’re probably not putting in the right amount of effort. Attaining success is no joy ride; it’s a roller coaster.<p /> Just make sure you devise a plan that enables you to put in twice as much effort. If you do, you double your chances of succeeding.<p />That’s all I have to say. And make sure you double your efforts for today.<p /> As always, you are welcome to leave your comments below.<p />I wish you well<p />Dr Ken<p />Dr Ken Onu is the CEO and founder of Attract Freedom. <p>He is an Eye Doctor with a vision to eradicate possibility blindness<b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_trademark_symbol" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_trademark_symbol" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">® <br /> </a></b></p> <p>He is a keen speaker, communicator, entrepreneur and author.

So anytime you want to start a new habit, just convince yourself that you are only going to try it for 21 days. For example, if you want to start jogging every morning, tell yourself it’s just for 21 days. At the end of that period, you have a choice of continuing or quitting. At least, that’s what you think. The truth is that there is no choice. Your neural pathways have already been formed and you will, in all likelihood, continue your new habit. Furthermore, you would have noticed the benefits of what you have been doing for the past 21 days. Therefore, deep down, your subconscious would want you to continue.<br />You might think the reverse is also true – breaking a habit. Unfortunately, neural pathways to any habit are usually formed for life. So even if you quit (say, smoking) temporarily, any little thing can act as a trigger and make you start again.<br />However, the way you go about quitting just needs a small tweak to ensure it works. Do the same thing you did while starting a habit – tell yourself that it’s just for 21 days. Then you will find it much easier to continue for life. But if you start off by telling yourself you are going to quit smoking permanently, your conscious mind will be at war with you. And in the war for supremacy, your conscious mind will win.<br />It may sound strange to keep saying that you should convince yourself in this way and not in that way, and so on. But in reality, having a conversation with yourself is not that strange or abnormal. We all do it everyday. Think about it: “should I go to the gym today, or should I not?” Sound familiar? That’s you talking to yourself.<br />Normally, when you want to begin a new routine (or habit) or quit an old one, you would tell yourself that you are giving it up permanently. That’s when your fickle mind starts highlighting all the good things about that habit. Continuing with the example of smoking, your mind would cause you to remember all the situations in which you enjoy smoking: early in the morning while reading the newspaper, while having a drink with friends, when you’re facing some pressure at work, and so on. Your mind does not yet know the benefits of not smoking, so it can only highlight the pleasures that smoking supposedly brings you. This is why it is important to trick yourself into believing that you’re only stopping for 21 days.<br />Here’s a list of habits I’d like to start for 21 days.<br />- Stop worrying for 21 days<br />- Meditate for 21 days<br />- Write new articles daily for 21 days<br />- Get up by 5am for 21 days<br />- Drink fresh juice for 21 days<br />Feel free to share your list of 21-day habits.<br /><div style="font-size: 10px;"><a href="http://posterous.com/">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://kenon.posterous.com/21-days">kenon's posterous</a> </div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-5051484328171002432?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-50822235635376561822011-06-14T14:50:00.001-04:002011-06-14T14:50:51.663-04:00<div class='posterous_autopost'> <h2 class="module_title">Unlocking your genius potential</h2>A friend of mine asked me to re-post this article.

We have to learn how to use our god given talents... otherwise we stand to lose them . Remember the saying &quot;Use it or lose it?&quot;</p><p> How many of you feel that you are not good at Math? How many of you feel that you are not good at Music? How about Art?</p><p> Research shows that most people feel that they perform pretty horribly in these fields.</p><p> The real truth of the matter is that they are so wrong. We were all Born geniuses!</p><p> Yes every single one of us has genius potential.</p><p> We come into this world utterly naked and helpless equipped with a brain that is seeking knowledge.</p><p> What happens is that our well intentioned Parents and then our caring teachers help to systematically reduce our genius capability.</p><p> By the time we reach the 5th grade....our genius capability is practically zero.</p><p> How does this happen?</p><p> We are told &quot;Don&#39;t do that, you could hurt yourself&quot;,&quot; Don&#39;t do that until I tell you what to do&quot;, &quot;Sit still&quot;, &quot;Stop day dreaming&quot;, &quot;Pay attention&quot;.</p><p> Parents Protect, Teachers teach us how to conform. We are not supposed to make mistakes. Conformity assures that we produce mediocre citizens. Why?</p><p> Because genius needs to do its own thinking and exploring. Always asking the question Why? Peeling off even deeper layers with the question why? Making our own mistakes along the way. Learning from our own mistakes</p><p> To live at our full potential, we have to relearn how we learn.</p><p> The Reptilian complex of the brain is responsible for physical safety, the Mammalian complex is responsible for emotional safety. If both of these are repressed due to stress or other factors learning is suppressed.</p><p> Furthermore, We have the left brain that is responsible for logical and analytical issues and the right brain responsible for holistic thought and creativity.</p><p> Then we have the conscious mind and the unconscious mind or other than conscious mind. The other than conscious mind processes information at a ratio of 10 Billion bits of data to 1. Compare that to 12 inches of the conscious mind versus 11 square miles of the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind is where our intuitive and creative insights come from.</p><p> Go even further and we have the multiple intelligences, some of us are mathematical logical, verbal linguistic, visual-spatial, interpersonal, intra personal, musical, naturalistic, bodily-kinesthetic.</p><p> We are mostly taught using mathematical logical and verbal linguistic models.</p><p> In most countries the other intelligences are taken for granted. This is the reason why we have late bloomers in life.</p><p> Add the 5 senses of sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell to this and the learning process is complete.</p><p> School dropouts are a perfect study. if they leave school with their self-esteem still intact, they tend to become more successful than others because they have not conformed. Good examples are Bill Gates and Richard Branson.</p><p> We need to use our whole brain. The interplay of all these factors to facilitate whole brain learning. that is what Genius is made of. It is like an orchestra with all the parts playing to become whole.</p><p> Remember the brain thinks in pictures not in words.</p><p> When we say &#39;think of a car&#39; You immediately visualize a car of your liking. You don&#39;t see the words car. We have been trained to read linearly from left to right and from the top of the page to the bottom. The subconscious mind can take pictures of the whole page. The brain thinks from whole to parts.</p><p> This is why learning strategies like Mind mapping, Memory recall techniques,Cornell note taking, speed reading and photo reading( reading at over 25,000 words per minute) are ways to stimulate raw genius.</p><p> Repetition and Practice are the Mother and Father of all skills.</p><p> To unlock our genius potential we have to think in ways that are absolutely contrary to how we have been programmed to think so far.</p><p>I wish you well,</p><p>Dr. Ken</p><p /><p>Dr Ken Onu is the CEO and founder of Attract Freedom.</p> <p>He is an Eye Doctor with a vision to eradicate possibility blindness<b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_trademark_symbol" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_trademark_symbol" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">® <br /> </a></b></p> <p>He is a keen speaker, communicator, entrepreneur and author.

But not everyone has the know-how. Countless books have been written on the subject, but all that material can be summed up in five simple points. Learn to live by these rules and you will find yourself succeeding in both your personal and professional life.<p /> The first rule is to be proactive. Viktor Frankl, a holocaust survivor, once said that between stimulus and response there is a gap, and in that gap lies all our freedom. Even while he was suffering unspeakable horrors in a concentration camp, the realization that he was in charge of his own destiny forced him to think proactively. He decided he was not merely a puppet, meant to act in a certain pre-destined manner, but a human being fully capable of taking the reins of his own life.<p /> This is the kind of attitude each one of us needs to strive for. When we take charge of our own lives, we get to decide our fate and our experiences in life. And because how we think determines our fate, it is entirely in our hands whether we live in a rose garden or a field of weeds. Our thoughts are what shape the world around us.<p /> With power comes responsibility. Therefore, since we have the power to determine our own fate, we need to be able to accept the responsibility that comes along with it. This is the second rule. Not everything that comes our way is a direct result of our thoughts, but what we allow into our lives is. This filtering might occur on a subconscious level, but the subconscious is merely a deeper level of our active mind and takes its lead from there.<p /> Our behavior is also influenced by our thoughts, and so we need to accept responsibility for that too. And not only our own behavior, but also the behavior we accept in others. If we let others take advantage of us, we have only ourselves to blame.<p /> Good leadership skills are vital to success in any field of life, so developing leadership skills is the third rule we need to incorporate. Each one has their own approach to the art of leadership. But before we can be leaders of others, we need to know how to take charge of our own lives. Having our own personal set of values will help in this endeavor. They will act as a compass in our lives, guiding our every action.<p /> Once we have effectively mapped our own course in life, we need to lead others. This leadership may come in various forms – as parents, bosses, or any other situation we are a part of. The best way to lead is by being an example. Once others see the values we live by, they too will be inspired. But any deviation from these values, however small, will bring our whole image crashing down. Our entire credibility will be lost, because our double standards will seal our fate, negating our ability to lead.<p /> A good leader is one who leads subtly and from the rear. Tao Te Ching got it right when he said that the key to building the same harmony that exists in nature is to win the co-operation of others, not to be aggressive. And this, in essence, is the greatest quality of a good leader.<p /> The most commonly given command in the Bible is “Do not be afraid”. Instead, we should face our fears, and in so doing, drive them away. This is another essential when it comes to being successful. M Night Shymalan’s movie ‘The Village’ is about this very concept – facing our fears. When we do, they just vanish before us and we are free of the hold they had on us.<p /> Anytime we attempt something new or venture out of our comfort zone, fear takes hold of us. This is inevitable. Life continues to move forward and we can choose to either move forward with it and grow, or get left behind and die. Growth and fear are inseparable – a package deal. If we cannot accept the whole package, we are as good as dead.<p /> Our greatest fear is failure. But we should remember that failure is the stepping-stone to success. The life of any truly successful person is fraught with failure. It is in overcoming failure and vanquishing our fears that we can succeed.<p /> Similarly, there is no need to fear other people. Everyone has their own vulnerabilities and attacking someone else may just be their defense mechanism. So be patient with them, and above all, don’t fear them.<p /> Last but not least, never stop learning. Learning is intrinsically linked to success in life. When we learn, we grow. And when we grow, we have a chance at success. Life hands us many opportunities for growth and learning. The tougher the situation we are faced with, the more we are likely to learn from it.<p /> Even difficult people have something to teach us. We can learn more about ourselves from them and from events and situations around us. Above all, we can learn from ourselves: by examining our responses and reflecting on them.<p /> These five simple activities and rules, if they become a part of us, will guarantee success in any part of life. They are the foundation of a life well lived.<p />I wish you well<p />Dr Ken<p /><br /><p>Dr Ken Onu is the CEO and founder of Attract Freedom.</p> <p>He is an Eye Doctor with a vision to eradicate possibility blindness<b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_trademark_symbol" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_trademark_symbol" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">® <br /> </a></b></p>He is a keen speaker, communicator, entrepreneur and author.

What a waste of time and energy! Instead, if we would just spend a little time creating in ourselves an awareness of our focus of attention, it would be easier to let go of that negative emotion and move on.<p /> Don’t get me wrong; I’m not saying you should be more actively aware of negative feelings, nor am I saying that you should rid yourselves of them. In trying not to feel or express certain feelings, you only waste precious time and add more mental stress to yourself.<p /> Try this strategy instead: analyze your feeling of envy, doubt, pride, or whatever, and then accept it. There is no need to judge yourself. Just accept such feelings as part of your psyche and move on. Try saying, “oh, that’s just my envy talking.” Automatically, that feeling of envy will dissipate. But if you allow it a place in your mind, you are giving it undue importance, and it will only grow and fester, and one day it will rise to the surface stronger than ever.<p /> So much energy is spent in trying to avoid feeling negative emotions or in trying to suppress them. But the key is to just let those feelings in, acknowledge them and then disregard them. We are wiser for the awareness of ourselves that they have created in us, and so we should be thankful to them too. But do not allow such feelings room to stay. Just let them flit through your body, like a thought passing through your mind.<p /> To paraphrase Shakespeare, when we are true to ourselves, there can be no doubt that we will be true to our fellow men too.<p />So just accept who you are, negative feelings and all. There is no need to feel guilty or ashamed, we are who we are. Try it and you will feel for yourself a sort of release, a healing even, and a desire to move on.<p /> I wish you well<br /><p>Dr Ken<br /></p><p>Dr Ken Onu is the CEO and founder of Attract Freedom.<br /></p><p>He is an Eye Doctor with a vision to eradicate possibility blindness<b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_trademark_symbol" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_trademark_symbol" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">® <br /> </a></b></p><p>He is a keen speaker, communicator, entrepreneur and author.

We might keep mentally reminding ourselves to phone our mum or sister, but its just so easy to forget such seemingly mundane things in the hustle and bustle of our lives. Unless we are consciously aware of whom we are forgetting, some people will just fade into the background of our lives and stay there.</p> <p>So how do you show your family you care about them? Start with something simple…just tell them. Tell them how much they mean to you. It sounds simple enough and yet is so hard for some people to actually do.</p> <p>A surprise visit is another simple way to show you care about them and that you are thinking of them. Just drop in unexpectedly (provided you are on good enough terms with them for that to be welcome) and see their faces light up with joy.</p> <p>Or, if you can’t visit, at least give them a call. Make it a habit, in fact. After a while, you will start to feel as if you are missing something if you don’t call them. All these actions hold good for family as well as friends.</p> <p>For your more immediate family (as in, the people you live with – your spouse and kids), you need to make them feel special all the time. Just one text message can brighten up your spouse’s day immensely. It might sound cheesy, but it makes a world of difference. And the best part is, it costs next to nothing (in terms of money as well as time). <br /></p><p>You could buy your wife flowers for no reason other than to say she’s special and you love her. Its more meaningful and delightful when its unexpected. And don’t forget to keep your romance alive. Flirt with each other. How long you’ve been married is irrelevant; what matters is keeping that old flame burning.</p> <p>What about your kids? Buying them toys and gifts might (according to you) show you love them, but how do you show that you like them? Yes, there is a difference between the two. For younger children, their wants are simple. All you have to do is spend half an hour with them – playing with them or just sitting and watching TV together. With older children, they might just want to be left alone, but the fact that you are trying makes a difference and they will recognize that effort. Sometimes, children go through periods where they prefer one parent to another. So when it comes to your turn, make sure you utilize that time wisely. Spend some time alone with them, just talking or listening.</p> <p>Finally, try to do something together as a family that is out of the normal routine. A dinner or a movie might be all it takes for them to feel that they are special to you and that you genuinely care. Everyone loves surprises, after all. And possibly the easiest and best way you can keep your family close-knit is by having one meal together. Dinner usually works best. When you all sit down together at the end of the day (sometimes the only time during the day that you are all seeing each other), it’s the perfect time to catch up on each other’s lives and to show your interest in what’s happening to them.</p> <p>Of course, everyone has different methods of showing they care. How do you connect with your family?

Certain ‘facts’ are just taken for<br />   granted – for instance, that the world continues when we are<br />   asleep. “Of course it does”, our non-thinkers would say<br />   dismissively. But does it really? Where is the proof behind this?<p />   Ask them a slightly tougher question and their answer is just as<br />   forthcoming – does the world continue to exist after you die?<br />   There are many different ways to justify an answer to this question.<br />   Some might argue that since they are dead, the world ceases to exist<br />   for them. Or, there are those who might say that the world continues<br />   to exist because there is life after death. This response again, leads<br />   to many new questions. Does life after death mean rebirth, and does<br />   rebirth mean that you are born as a different person, or just that<br />   there is a transfer of consciousness from your body to that of another<br />   living person? Or, is there a different meaning altogether, in that<br />   life after death means life in heaven.<p />   The majority of people would not even consider such questions, because<br />   it is so much easier to just make assumptions. They don’t care<br />   to logically work out an answer or ponder more deeply on any topic,<br />   because it requires too much of an effort. “We’ll leave<br />   that to the great thinkers”, they say. But if you don’t<br />   ask yourselves questions such as these, you’ll never find the<br />   answers and that is when the problem of assuming creeps in. Whether<br />   they are small assumptions or big life-altering ones, it is time to<br />   start questioning those beliefs. The reason is simple. Questioning<br />   life, rather then just mindlessly accepting it will make a world of<br />   difference to your self-development.<p />   So start now – make a list of all your assumptions. Then go one<br />   step further: make a list of assumptions people generally make in life<br />   and post them here as a comment. Perhaps we can attempt to answer them<br />   together.<p />I wish you well<p />Dr Ken<p /><br /><p>Dr Ken Onu is the CEO and founder of Attract Freedom. </p> <p>A Global Community with the sole purpose of empowering people to personal and financial freedom. </p> <p>He is an Eye Doctor with a Vision to eradicate possibility blindness<b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_trademark_symbol" title="Registered trademark symbol">®</a></b><span class="tl"></span></p><p>. </p> <p>He is a keen speaker, communicator, entrepreneur and author. </p> <p> </p> <p>For Free Videos, pdf&#39;s, audios, insights, ideas<span>  </span>and free personal development courses and sessions =&gt; </p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.attractfreedom.com/" target="_blank">http://www.attractfreedom.com</a></p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://kenon.posterous.com/questions">kenon's posterous</a> </p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-8873840816280151724?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-45428747784209422532011-05-24T16:09:00.001-04:002011-05-24T16:09:02.842-04:00<div class='posterous_autopost'> <p>Occasionally, we cross paths with people we don’t like. The reasons are varied. Personality clashes could be one reason. But if we are honest with ourselves, we’ll realize that the most common reason is jealousy – we want something the other person has. It could be a physical trait, like good looks; or it could be something on a different level, like intelligence or confidence.</p> <p>If we recognize the reason for our dislike, we can find a way to combat it. But as is so often the case, people are not honest with themselves, so they don’t recognize their feeling of jealousy for what it is. This is when relationships fail.</p> <p>In life, we may come across thousands of people we dislike and even abhor. And sometimes, the feeling may be mutual. Or, it could even be the reverse – the other person detests us. It’s a fact of life and completely unavoidable – we just cannot like everyone or be liked by everyone. A simple solution is to just avoid such people.</p> <p>Here’s the problem though: what happens when you meet someone at the workplace whom you dislike, and then find out that you have to work with said person on a project…for an extended period of time?! If you let your feelings get in the way of your work relationship, things could get out of hand. Either put your feelings on the back burner, or (better still), find a way to rid yourself of those negative feelings. The best way to do that is to find something to like in that person. Let’s face it, every person, no matter how despicable they may seem, has some good qualities. So just mentally note five qualities you deem good in that person and focus on them. A good relationship is now already in the making.</p> <p>To cement that good relationship, try speaking to them. Even if, at first, you get no response, keep trying. A simple “good morning” may be all it takes to break the ice. Perhaps, you could even draw from your mental list of ‘likables’ and comment on one of those qualities. Even the most humble among us lap up praise. This is not necessarily sucking up to the person; merely thawing that frigid exterior (possibly made frigid by your attitude).</p> <p>Next, you could try to recognize what their strength is. For most people, their strengths are easily visible from the get go. But if not, look a little deeper and come up with something. This too, would help you to combat your negative feelings towards the other person.</p> <p>Finally, to seal the deal (so to speak), try having a mental conversation with your nemesis. Imagine you and the other person having a pleasant conversation. You both are getting along so well, even apologizing to each other for past ill will. Follow this exercise a few times a week, and that image could become a reality.</p> <p>It is so much nicer to make friends than to make enemies, and the unnecessary mental tension it relieves you from would make it worth your while.</p><p>I wish you well</p><p>Dr Ken <br /></p><p><a href="http://www.attractfreedom.com">www.attractfreedom.com</a><br /></p><p></p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://kenon.posterous.com/relationships">kenon's posterous</a> </p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-4542874778420942253?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-56339314257612635962011-05-14T22:19:00.001-04:002011-05-14T22:19:46.295-04:00<div class='posterous_autopost'><div style="margin: 10px;"><table width="100%"><tr><td><div><a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9002882253039527684&amp;hl=en"><img src="http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logos/video_logo.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a></div></td> <td width="100%"><div style="border-top: 2px solid #a03; background-color: #efefef; padding: 2px 4px; font-size: 120%;"><b>Emailed video</b></div></td></tr></table> <br /> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Hi Friends.

If you want your business to thrive in this advancing digital world then you must come up with new ideas. Miles Abraham, speaker at the Caribbean Internet Market Summit held at Crowne Plaza on June 26, takes this position. “Try cool things. Come up with cool ideas,” he said. Abraham told the participants to prepare for change as he predicts that by the end of this year more than 40 per cent of T&amp;T will have access to the Internet. A digital strategist, Abraham said in 2006, 10 per cent of T&amp;T citizens had Internet access.<br /> “Technology is moving ahead so quickly,” he said. He shared many videos where companies used the popular Youtube network to advertise their products.</p> <p>Also, one of the videos he shared from another source, predicted that by the year 2020, social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Youtube will become the main media of advertising. Abraham said, “A phenomenon is just an idea that nobody owns as yet.” Participants also shared concerns that many Web sites in T&amp;T do not allow interaction, such as comments and questions about their products. Inspirational speaker, Dr Ken Onu shared simple tips for people to achieve their goals. Two of them were to believe in one’s self and know what one wants. “The enemy of focus is having too many choices,” he said. The Summit ends tomorrow.</p> <p><img class="left" src="http://guardian.co.tt/files/game%2001.png" alt="" /><em>Dr Ken Onu, left, shows the audience what lack of focus causes during his presentation at the Caribbean Internet Market Summit held at Crowne Plaza.</em></p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://kenon.posterous.com/sunday-guardian-story-on-cims">kenon's posterous</a> </p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-3809075607491754193?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-9830970993994072182010-06-11T13:38:00.001-04:002010-06-11T13:38:02.102-04:00<div class='posterous_autopost'>This was first published in the British humour magazine &quot;Punch&quot; on<br />April 3, 1957:  I found it hilarious and at the same time food for thought....<p /><br />Q: What are banks for?<br />A: To make money.<p />Q: For the customers?<br />A: For the banks.<p />Q: Why doesn&#39;t bank advertising mention this?<br />A: It would not be in good taste. But it is mentioned by implication in references to reserves of $249,000,000,000 or thereabouts. That is the money they have made.<p> </p><br />Q: Out of the customers?<br />A: I suppose so.<p />Q: They also mention Assets of $500,000,000,000 or thereabouts. Have they made that too?<br />A: Not exactly. That is the money they use to make money.<p />Q: I see. And they keep it in a safe somewhere?<br />A: Not at all. They lend it to customers.<p />Q: Then they haven&#39;t got it?<br />A: No.<p />Q: Then how is it Assets?<br />A: They maintain that it would be if they got it back.<p />Q: But they must have some money in a safe somewhere?<br />A: Yes, usually $500,000,000,000 or thereabouts. This is called Liabilities.<p />Q: But if they&#39;ve got it, how can they be liable for it?<br />A: Because it isn&#39;t theirs.<p />Q: Then why do they have it?<br />A: It has been lent to them by customers.<p />Q: You mean customers lend banks money?<br />A: In effect. They put money into their accounts, so it is really lent to the banks.<p />Q: And what do the banks do with it?<br />A: Lend it to other customers.<p />Q: But you said that money they lent to other people was Assets?<br />A: Yes.<p />Q: Then Assets and Liabilities must be the same thing?<br />A: You can&#39;t really say that.<p />Q: But you&#39;ve just said it! If I put $100 into my account the bank is liable to have to pay it back, so it&#39;s Liabilities. But they go and lend it to someone else, and he is liable to have to pay it back, so it&#39;s Assets. It&#39;s the same $100 isn&#39;t it?<br />A: Yes, but....<p />Q: Then it cancels out. It means, doesn&#39;t it, that banks haven&#39;t really any money at all?<br />A: Theoretically......<p />Q: Never mind theoretically! And if they haven&#39;t any money, where do they get their Reserves of $249,000,000,000 or thereabouts??<br />A: I told you. That is the money they have made.<p />Q: How?<br />A: Well, when they lend your $100 to someone they charge him interest.<p />Q: How much?<br />A: It depends on the Bank Rate. Say five and a-half percent. That&#39;s their profit.<p />Q: Why isn&#39;t it my profit? Isn&#39;t it my money?<br />A: It&#39;s the theory of banking practice that.........<p />Q: When I lend them my $100 why don&#39;t I charge them interest?<br />A: You do.<p />Q: You don&#39;t say. How much?<br />A: It depends on the Bank Rate. Say a half percent.<p />Q: Grasping of me, rather?<br />A: But that&#39;s only if you&#39;re not going to draw the money out again.<p />Q: But of course I&#39;m going to draw the money out again! If I hadn&#39;t wanted to draw it out again I could have buried it in the garden!<br />A: They wouldn&#39;t like you to draw it out again.<p />Q: Why not? If I keep it there you say it&#39;s a Liability. Wouldn&#39;t they be glad if I reduced their Liabilities by removing it?<br />A: No. Because if you remove it they can&#39;t lend it to anyone else.<p />Q: But if I wanted to remove it they&#39;d have to let me?<br />A: Certainly.<p />Q: But suppose they&#39;ve already lent it to another customer?<br />A: Then they&#39;ll let you have some other customers money.<p />Q: But suppose he wants his too....and they&#39;ve already let me have it?<br />A: You&#39;re being purposely obtuse.<p />Q: I think I&#39;m being acute. What if everyone wanted their money all at once?<br />A: It&#39;s the theory of banking practice that they never would.<p />Q: So what banks bank on, is not having to meet their commitments?<br />A: I wouldn&#39;t say that.<p />Q: Naturally. Well, if there&#39;s nothing else you think you can tell me....?<br />A: Quite so. Now you can go off and open a banking account!<p />Q: Just one last question.<br />A: Of course.<p />Q: Wouldn&#39;t I do better to go off and open up a bank? <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://kenon.posterous.com/banking-172">kenon's posterous</a> </p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-983097099399407218?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-70958459568991949902010-04-12T18:58:00.003-04:002010-04-12T18:58:53.141-04:00<div class='posterous_autopost'><span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black;"> </span><strong><b><span style="font-size: 27pt; color: black;">YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH</span></b></strong> <div style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"> <div> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p></div></div> <div> <div> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/kenon/896uAxT7kT6E1inQ1XBvjfStwuymHD7Q2Ui6H8XzOI8OUNCh2OkmfW0zslN3/image00114.jpg" width="330" height="330"/> <br /></span><strong><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; color: maroon;">Don&#39;t tell me your age; you&#39;d probably lie anyway-but the Hershey Man will know!</span></b></strong><span style="font-size: 13pt; color: black;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black;">   </span><br /> <span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black;"> </span><strong><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; color: rgb(130, 66, 0);">YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH</span></b></strong><br /><img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/kenon/4ZR3M4i8Sy06W4ciS5HzBDii8qa7n1m8oTKCdREojfnxReAXpYXa87vPMwjA/image00215.jpg" width="269" height="296"/> <br /><strong><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; color: rgb(130, 66, 0);">This is pretty neat.</span></b></strong><br /><strong><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; color: rgb(130, 66, 0);">DON&#39;T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!</span></b></strong><br /><strong><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; color: rgb(130, 66, 0);"> It takes less than a minute ...</span></b></strong><br /><strong><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; color: rgb(130, 66, 0);"> Work this out as you read ...</span></b></strong><br /><strong><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; color: rgb(130, 66, 0);"> Be sure you don&#39;t read the bottom until you&#39;ve worked it out!</span></b></strong><br /><strong><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; color: rgb(130, 66, 0);"> This is not one of those waste of time things, it&#39;s fun.</span></b></strong></p></div></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"> <div> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p></div></div> <div> <div> <p><strong><b><span style="font-size: 13pt; color: black;"> </span></b></strong><b><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 13pt; color: black;"><img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/kenon/rsRKoEFGgbZuUfFT4I8kvu4RR0VhNbQUqRclYOk2EQwmKw43zkHuovqaQNEV/image00316.gif" width="350" height="350"/> </span></b><br /> <strong><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; color: rgb(130, 66, 0);">1.

Not because I saw many patients. Not because I felt good about helping others. There was more. After our Toastmasters executive meeting , we decided to go for fresh grilled Fish at a place called Calliaqua. We arrived, bought our fish and settled to eat outside John Dougan&#39;s shop. They had karaoke music playing. My friends and I sat back to enjoy the meal and watch the singers do their thing. One song caught my attention. It was John Lennons &quot;Imagine&quot;.<br /> The words kept ringing in my ear. I had heard the song so many times before, but this time it just spoke to me: <p /><div style="text-align: center;">Imagine there&#39;s no heaven<br />It&#39;s easy if you try<br />No hell below us<br /> Above us only sky<br />Imagine all the people<br />Living for today...<p />Imagine there&#39;s no countries<br />It isn&#39;t hard to do<br />Nothing to kill or die for<br />And no religion too<br />Imagine all the people<br />Living life in peace...<p /> You may say I&#39;m a dreamer<br />But I&#39;m not the only one<br />I hope someday you&#39;ll join us<br />And the world will be as one<p />Imagine no possessions<br />I wonder if you can<br />No need for greed or hunger<br /> A brotherhood of man<br />Imagine all the people<br />Sharing all the world...<p />You may say I&#39;m a dreamer<br />But I&#39;m not the only one<br />I hope someday you&#39;ll join us<br />And the world will live as one<br /></div> <br />We are living in a world that is more aware than ever before. These words ring truer today than back then when John Lennon wrote them. If we were just to look inside we would find that all our so called problems are merely a reflection of what is going on within us. By steadfastly attaching ourselves to outcomes we create new problems for ourselves and the rest of the world.<br /> Please feel free to comment on this post.

You are trying to know this person who moves your body around, and you are also trying to know the essence of you. I am the Essence of you, and, so, you try to know Me Who is your Very Self. </p> <p>Your desires are not far-flown. What you seek is right where you are. You are the bluebird of your own happiness. The gold found on your own ground is My Resplendent Self. It is your own soul. It is Mine, and yet it belongs to you. Am I trapped in a body, so to speak? Not at all. Nor are you. The seeming body surrounding you is an outfit you wear. It is like a hat you put on. It is an appurtenance. It is a thing. </p> <p>We can say that your heart beats whether you have a body or not. We can say that love is your wings that fly. We can say that you are an embodiment of My Very Self. Here I am in your body. Within every body, I AM. I am not outside you far away. It is you who sees from a distance. </p> <p>In the guise of a human being, you seek the reality of Who you are. Because you go in and out doorways, you seem to just miss Me in passing. You don't quite get that it is yourself that you are looking for. It is your Self that you cannot quite catch up to. Even in a mirror, you cannot. You think you are standing on a corner, and you think I am a Presence up in the sky. Of course, I am up in the sky so long as you are not yet grounded in your own Self. Until you experience Me, until you really know Me in the depths of where I AM, you dart here and there. </p> <p>And, so, I am the bluebird of your happiness, and We are indivisible except as in a manner of speech. </p> <p>Hail to the One Heart of Ours. Hail to Our Love that reigns over the entire Universe and universes not yet seen. You are an extra-terrestrial who has been borne to Earth. You arrived on Earth from somewhere else. Your soul has existed always, yet it has not always been in the body you carry now. It has been bodiless. However, with or without a body, your soul is staunchly with Me. You imagine otherwise. You even have proof otherwise. </p> <p>Sometimes one could think that you have made every effort to deny the Reality of you. You have perhaps scoffed at the idea that I am ever-present in you. You have disbelieved your own cognizance. You have chosen party favors over the recognition of the God of your heart. And, yet, you know Me. You know Me very well. </p> <p>You do a song and dance called life, and, so, you pretend I am absent, and you pretend you don't know Me. It has to be an act, beloved, because We are in a constant embrace. You seemingly forget Who you are. You dance away. You come close. You run away all the while bemoaning My distance. Your heart knows. How would you even desire Me if you did not already know of My existence? Or, if you disavow Me, how would you disavow Me if you did not already know of My existence? </p> <p>Do you exist? Who are you anyway? I am telling you Who you are. I am introducing you to yourself.

But always keep those three things separate. ”</p><p> This was a profound concept to me. Most of us take what we think and turn it into what we know.</p><p>When we give out information, it’s important to separate it into what we know, what we don’t know, and what we think. Sometimes it’s hard to say what we don’t know. Our egos don’t like us to be in the dark. It takes a very smart, very responsible person to distinguish between these three areas.</p><p> We need to know our strengths, weaknesses, and what we think we can do. One reason for botched communication is we don’t separate between these three things. You’ve got to keep them separate from the beginning. Then you’ll be a more valuable leader, follower, and friend.</p><p> No matter who is working with you, under you, or above you - as long as you have someone who needs to report to you and/or you to them - be sure to share what’s known, what’s unknown, and what’s perceived. It will help alleviate expectations and allow the flow of communication to be clearer.</p><p> Ideas don’t make us experts. Awareness does. The work may seem difficult, but the point is simple. To say you don’t know isn’t always easy. But it can solve the big problems that happen when people make what they think into what they know.</p><p> </p><p>All the best,</p> <p>Yehuda Berg<br /></p> <p><br /></p> </div> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com/">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://kenon.posterous.com/i-dont-know-436">kenon's posterous</a> </p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-300277974052823605?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-39988526511258802752010-02-23T00:23:00.001-05:002010-02-23T00:23:21.546-05:00<div class='posterous_autopost'><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> Link to this post:<br /> <a href="http://www.google.com/buzz/115425376299097188979/aujSEgVjRDD/OUT-NOW-Inspirational-Blueprints-for-Personal">http://www.google.com/buzz/115425376299097188979/aujSEgVjRDD/OUT-NOW-Inspirational-Blueprints-for-Personal</a><p> 6:59 pm <b>Dr Kem Thompson:</b> OUT NOW! &quot;Inspirational Blueprints for Personal Success - for Women&quot; - available on amazon, all good bookstores, <a href="http://www.totalsuccessforwomen.com" class="ot-anchor">www.totalsuccessforwomen.com</a>, <a href="http://www.filamentpublishing.com" class="ot-anchor">www.filamentpublishing.com</a><br /> </p></blockquote> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://kenon.posterous.com/buzz-from-dr-kem-thompson">kenon's posterous</a> </p> </div> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-3998852651125880275?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-934131629533064162010-02-21T13:47:00.003-05:002010-02-21T14:16:48.948-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LGSbwaij3HI/S4GF3BDAnAI/AAAAAAAAAMY/JzybzxiiFp4/s1600-h/kem1.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 101px; height: 160px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LGSbwaij3HI/S4GF3BDAnAI/AAAAAAAAAMY/JzybzxiiFp4/s320/kem1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440777005060627458" border="0" /></a><br /><div class="posterous_autopost">Hey Folks<br />My friend Dr Kem Thompson has just released her new book "Inspirational Blueprints for personal Success for Women"<br />I have been following her work for several years now and we even conducted a webinar together. She is awesome!!!<p><br /></p><p> Here is what she has to tell you:</p><p>I may not have met you before, but there's one thing I know for sure about you: you are a woman who's destined to succeed. You have the potential to be who you want to be, do what you want to do and have the things you want to have in this life. This book will show you how to be free to love yourself. In doing so, you will discover how to master yourself, how to take control of your life and direct it such that everyone who crosses your path leaves a better person.</p><p><br /><br /><br /></p><p> </p><h3 class="productDescriptionSource">About the Author</h3> Dr Kem Thompson is a woman whose lifelong passion has been "making women's lives better". Right from when she was very young, she wanted to help people stop suffering and lead happy and fulfilling lives. It was no surprise then that she chose medicine as a career. This gave her ample opportunity to work personally with people in need, and watch them recover under her care. It was in medical school that Dr Thompson learnt to apply the Universal Principles of Success she teaches today. This is a woman who knows first hand what it means to succeed. After a string of mediocre grades in medical school, she stumbled upon the 'secret' to success and excellence in academics. This made a hugh difference in her outlook and performance in academics as well as life from then onwards. <p><a><br /></a> </p><p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com/">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://kenon.posterous.com/great-news-110">kenon's posterous</a> </p> </div> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/190549338X?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=atttrfreed-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=190549338X"><img src="http://www.blogger.com/51duSlwjGFL._SL160_.jpg" border="0" /></a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=atttrfreed-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=190549338X" alt="" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" border="0" height="1" /><br /><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=atttrfreed-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as1&amp;asins=190549338X&amp;fc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;lt1=_blank&amp;m=amazon&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;bc1=000000&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;f=ifr" style="width: 120px; height: 240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-93413162953306416?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-60891654997659945362010-02-21T01:37:00.001-05:002010-02-21T01:37:26.072-05:00<a href=http://coreykgraham.me/bizblog/podcast-dr-ken-onu-vincentian-interviewed-at-the-caribbean-internet-marketing-summit-cims/>Podcast : Dr. Ken Onu (Vincentian) Interviewed At The Caribbean Internet Marketing Summit (CIMS)</a><br /><br />Posted using <a href="http://sharethis.com">ShareThis</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-6089165499765994536?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-71840964274290996302010-02-15T15:55:00.001-05:002010-02-15T15:55:48.800-05:00<div class='posterous_autopost'><object height="417" width="500"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AUrvoLf0GnI&hl=en&fs=1" /></param><param name="wmode" value="window" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AUrvoLf0GnI&hl=en&fs=1" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="window" height="417" width="500"></embed></object> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://kenon.posterous.com/valentines-day-is-everyday">kenon's posterous</a> </p> </div> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-7184096427429099630?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-84702810561227853292010-02-05T18:03:00.001-05:002010-02-05T18:03:01.416-05:00<div class='posterous_autopost'>I know some of you have seen this before.

Lets call  point A Birth and point B Death. <p />And lets say you choose to live to  90yrs of age and you are now say 40, you would put a mark somewhere midway on the line. <p />Now ask yourself some questions for example:....How long do I want to work? For this example lets say I want to retire wealthy at 45....This means you have 5 years to get there..<p />Next question...you guessed it. If you keep doing what you&#39;ve done so far over and over, will you achieve the goals you&#39;ve set for yourself in 5 yrs? <p />This means is the job you presently have or is what you are presently doing, going to make you financially free in 5 years?  You can also replace the retire wealthy part with any other goal.

We all know women<br />who are inspiration in action which is exactly why I knew I had to share <br />this with you...<p /> One of my best friends, Ellie Drake, rocked the business world <br />in 2007 by creating the BraveHeart Women&#39;s Online Community, <br />an innovative resource she designed to help women entrepreneurs <br />join together like never before in a mutual commitment to success.</p> <p>I was blown away when Ellie told me about  the powerful women<br />(Dr. Maya Angelou, Leeza Gibbons, Mariel Hemmingway, Susan Anton,<br />and Lisa Nichols of &#39;The Secret&#39; fame, just to name a few) who are <br />part of the BraveHeart Community.<p /> This (<b>FREE</b>) social networking site empowers women of all <br />ages to discover their own voices, expand their potential, and <br />be the change they want for themselves, their family, their community, <br />and the world.

I dont know if you&#39;ve ever heard of Sean Stephenson?<br />This is the real deal. He has been called &quot;The Yoda of personal development&quot;.<br />You have to watch his premier on TV (Today Sunday) at 10pm ET. on the Johnny Kimmel show.<p /> Born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, a rare disorder causing extremely fragile bones, Stephenson was not expected to live through his first night. Undeterred by his physical limitations, Stephenson faces his life with optimism and enthusiasm. A motivational speaker, self-help guru, published author, and current doctoral degree candidate, Stephenson is also a board certified therapist who practices a breakthrough technique called “Full Immersion,” which features a 12-hour one-on-one therapy process. Despite his accomplishments, every day presents unbelievable physical challenges and dangers for Stephenson and he requires assistance with the simplest activities. Luckily he has a lot of support from his loving parents and sister whom he lives with and a group of loyal, upbeat friends.<p />I am so excited! I cant tell you...watch his press release here!  <object height="417" width="500"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1_4YpAHxAwA&hl=en&fs=1" /></param><param name="wmode" value="window" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1_4YpAHxAwA&hl=en&fs=1" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="window" height="417" width="500"></embed></object> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://kenon.posterous.com/the-three-foot-giant-premiers">kenon's posterous</a> </p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-3672789430067384386?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-58156575464701772102009-10-22T15:12:00.001-04:002009-10-22T15:12:25.520-04:00 <p><img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/kenon/iuSlogSzlmJ2zKFyZpigouNQ3Jfp0I9ttuhhro0wrkTSJIxwes5a7ewES1p6/image001.png" width="144" height="216"/> </p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The work of relationships is the removal of space.

Since I was curious, I asked him, “Why is it that some people can sing so well, while other people sing very poorly? Is it just a difference in natural inborn talent?”</p> <p>He said he that he felt just about everyone could train to be a decent singer, but the main challenge was that people don’t hear themselves the way other people hear them, so their pitch is off. They hear one pitch in their heads, but what they’re actually singing (and what other people hear) doesn’t align with what they think they’re singing.</p> <p>It immediately struck me that this is a great analogy for why some people struggle so much when trying to apply the <a href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2006/08/the-law-of-attraction/">Law of Attraction</a>. The vibration they believe they’re putting out doesn’t match what they’re actually putting out. What they perceive in their heads isn’t what other people perceive coming from them.</p> <p>For example, I occasionally meet people who are struggling financially, and they tell me about their efforts to apply the LoA. They tell me about how they shifted their vibration (thoughts, feelings, actions) to align with financial abundance, but they’re still manifesting scarcity. Some of them are on the verge of concluding that the LoA doesn’t really work.</p> <p>However, from my perspective, it only takes a few minutes of conversation to see that such people are still broadcasting scarcity through every pore. How can they not see it? How can they kid themselves into thinking they have a mindset of abundance when it’s so obvious to me they’re still stuck in a scarcity mentality? Their mannerisms and choice of words always betray their true vibration.</p> <p>It’s the same with singing, isn’t it? The way you sound to others and the way you sound to yourself may not match. So which one is the true vibration you’re putting out? When it comes to singing, the truth is represented by the sound waves emanating from your mouth. It doesn’t matter what you’re hearing in your head.</p> <p>Many people don’t realize that this is how the LoA works as well. Your true vibration isn’t what you’re thinking or feeling in your head. Your true vibration is what you’re broadcasting out to the universe.</p> <h3>Discovering and Correcting Vibrational Discordance</h3> <p>Your thoughts and feelings are not equal to your vibration. They’re merely effects of your vibration, but they get filtered through your beliefs. If your beliefs aren’t aligned with truth, then your inner perception of your vibration will be a distortion of your true vibration, so you won’t perceive yourself accurately. You may think you’re resonating with a certain energetic frequency like abundance, vitality, or love, when the truth is quite different.</p> <p>How can you become aware of your true vibration if you can’t blindly trust what you’re thinking and feeling?</p> <p>The solution is that you need to create a feedback loop, whereby you can observe yourself objectively to get a better sense of what you’re actually putting out. This will help you make adjustments to correct inaccuracies in your internal self-image.</p> <p>I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s important for singers to record themselves singing and to listen to the playback. This helps them hear what’s really coming out of their mouths. If they’re singing off-key, they will hear it in the recording, and then they can make adjustments. A talented deaf singer is an anomaly because something other than direct audio feedback must be used for training.</p> <p>You can use a similar method to discover and correct your own vibrational misalignments. Record yourself, either with audio or video. Video is best because it gives you more information.</p> <p>Record yourself talking about your finances. Record a conversation with your significant other. Record yourself interacting socially with friends and family. Record yourself giving a speech. Record yourself working at your desk. Then watch the playback. I guarantee that if you’ve never done this before, you will be surprised. It’s a very eye-opening experience.</p> <p>If you record video, watch the playback once with video and no sound. Then listen to the audio only without looking at the video. You will pick up different insights. With no sound you can observe your body language. With no video you can pay more attention to your voice tone. This will help you see if you’re being congruent on all channels or if you’re sending mixed messages. For example, are you speaking confidently while your body language broadcasts insecurity? That would indicate that your true vibration is mixed as well, and that will surely affect your results.</p> <p>Another thing you can do is invite someone else to observe you. This may take some courage, but it’s a great way to discover new truths. It’s especially helpful to get feedback from people who are already emanating the type of vibration you would like to integrate.</p> <p>Ask someone who’s already enjoying financial abundance to listen to you talk about your finances for a few minutes. Ask someone who has a loving relationship to watch you interact socially with others. Ask someone who’s very healthy and fit to watch you eat and prepare a meal, do your exercise routine, and listen to you talk about your health habits. Then ask those people to give you brutally honest feedback.</p> <p>We all have blind spots, myself included. In order to become aware of those blind spots, we need to take a step back and observe what’s really coming out of us. What are the real frequencies we’re broadcasting, and how do they compare with what we think we’re broadcasting?</p> <h3>Making Adjustments</h3> <p>Once you have a chance to observe yourself, make some changes based on your new distinctions. Make the gross adjustments first, and then work on the finer adjustments.</p> <p>In many cases objective self-observation is the key limiting step. The challenge is to become aware of your shortcomings and to see yourself accurately. Once you’ve done that, correcting those actions can usually be achieved via basic trial and error. Make changes, record yourself again, and notice how it looks. Keep cycling through this feedback loop until you can observe that you have it right. Depending on the nature of your challenge, it may take some time to get where you want to go, but at least it’s doable.</p> <p>When I did a lot of computer programming, there was a built-in feedback loop. I always had the opportunity to observe the output from the computer code I’d written, so I could identify bugs and make adjustments many times per day. But in some areas of life, such as in our human relationships, the natural feedback loop plays out much more slowly. However, you can still gain a lot of information by paying attention to your immediate results and your objectively observable momentum. If you claim to be resonating with financial abundance, but your present reality is that you’re sinking into debt and unpaid bills are piling up, something isn’t right. When you see that your results are out of alignment with your intentions, those are the best places to start investigating.</p> <p>Do your best not to blame the Law of Attraction for your personal failings. That cannot possibly help. If you aren’t getting the results you intend, you need look no further than your lack of vibrational alignment. A lack of results means that you haven’t hit the right frequency to manifest your intentions yet. You’re still singing off-key. You may think you’re hitting the right notes, but if you haven’t observed your own output via objective means like recording devices and consultations with others who are already experts at those frequencies, how can you really know what frequencies you’re actually broadcasting? You can’t know!</p> <p>If you want to get better at applying the LoA, you can’t simply go scouring through your thoughts and feelings, hoping to get everything perfect on the inside. You can’t create a good feedback loop entirely in your mind. It’s too easy to get lost in a tangled web of belief filters. You need to pull back, don your observer cap, and see yourself from the outside looking in. Get out of your head and your ego, and diagnose the problem holistically. Only then will you be able to apply a holistic solution that actually works.</p> <hr style="margin: 0pt; height: 1px;"><br /><table border="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td width="50%"><br /></td><td width="50%"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p align="center">© 2009 by <a href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/">Steve Pavlina</a>.</p></div> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com/">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://kenon.posterous.com/why-some-people-are-better-manifesters-than-o">kenon's posterous</a> </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-6545493923758168749?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-10567365432638342922009-07-22T13:20:00.001-04:002009-07-22T13:22:38.109-04:00<script type="text/javascript" src="http://forms.aweber.com/form/91/2083118291.js"></script><br /><a href="http://www.blogcatalog.com/directory/personal/development_and_growth" title="Development and Growth Blogs - BlogCatalog Blog Directory"><img src="http://www.blogcatalog.com/images/buttons/blogcatalog5.gif" alt="Development and Growth Blogs - BlogCatalog Blog Directory" style="border: 0;" /></a><br /><br />The most important thing that one should remember is that you cannot change anything outside of you.<br />A man convinced against his will remains unconvinced still. You can only change yourself.<br />So no one, nothing, no event or anything can ever make you happy.<br />Happiness is an inside job. If you want something outside of you to change, YOU have to change.<br />As weird as it sounds that how it is. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.<br />You should never look for love, appreciation and approval outside of yourself, because you will be disappointed.<br />Look for it inside, you have to build up enough love for yourself so that you have a lot to give.<br />If all else fails get out of the relationship.<br />Here are three rules I learned from Wayne Dyer to keep balanced on this journey called life:<br />(1) Be independent of the good opinion of others.<br />(2) Detach from the outcome<br />(3) Relinquish the need to control others<br /><br />Have a good day<br /><br />Ken<br /><br />Dr Ken Onu is the CEO and founder of Attract Freedom.

I hope you enjoyed the post from Dov Baron. I enjoy what he writes. Recently I had a disagreement with a friend. I was trying to get my friend out of a victim mentality.I spoke about avoiding negativity, accepting responsibility, avoiding blame. <br /><br />All this did not help for he was dead certain that none of it was his fault. He felt that other people should share the responsibility for his predicament. The argument was that they helped to cause it so they should pay for their "crimes". I hope he reads this blog.<br /><br />Whenever anything happens to you, you have to learn to accept responsibility for yourself. Criticizing, complaining, condemning and being vindictive just makes matters worse. It puts you in the wrong vibration, making sure that you attract more of the same to you.<br /><br />People do not like to hang around angry, bitter, complaining people. They want to hang around people who are happy,enthusiastic and know where they are going.<br /><br />Everything is a fact.....the emotion that you attach to that fact is your choice. <br />No matter what the disaster is, you can choose to be happy or you can choose to be sad. Frustration and anxiety comes from not listening to ones soul. <br /><br />What does the soul want? The soul wants peace,love and happiness. As a matter of fact the soul IS peace love and happiness. <br /><br />When we move away from that we are not at ease. A body that is not at ease is a body with dis-ease! Get it?<br /><br />In Max Ehrmanns Desiderata...it states: <br />"Avoid loud and aggressive persons, for they are vexations to the spirit"<br /><br />You cannot force people to be your friends. You cannot force love, You cannot force anything. If you want friendship, be friendly. If you want love be loving. You have to be willing to give that which you seek to attain. <br /><br />Forgive them.

A lesson that what happened, did not work out the way we expected. This can come from us not knowing exactly what we want, not believing enough in ourselves, not having a foolproof plan among many other things. So instead of telling someone that you have a challenge. Say I have learnt a new lesson today.<br /><br /> 2.<br /><br /> As within so without . Everything in life is created twice. Once on the mental plane and finally in "real" life.<br />We spend too much time focusing on the "reality" plane. Our reality tells us lots of lies. If we were to focus more on the things we visualize in our minds. We would astound ourselves at our rate of success.<br />If you can see it in your mind...You can hold it in your hand. Your thoughts are powerful. Watch how you think.<br /><br /> 3.<br /> Monitor your feelings throughout the day. Ask yourself why am I feeling this way? Observe yourself as if you were watching someone else. That is what we call awareness. When we are aware then we are in control. This is because we can always choose to do the opposite of what we originally intended. Awareness gives us absolute control over our lives. It allows us to break away from our limiting beliefs. We can choose to be happy instead of sad. This we do by focusing only on the good things happening in our lives.<br /> <br /> 4.<br />Attraction. A magic word. To attract we have to be attractive. The key word here is action. If we take action, even if they are small steps, we will eventually accomplish what we set out to do. Consistency is the key. For everything we want in life there is a straight line. Often we diverge from this line. The main thing is to get right back on the path and make things happen. Remember failure is only a lesson.<br /> <br /> 5.<br /><br /> Last but not Least. Attitude and Gratitude. By being extremely grateful for what we have and expressing joy for what we receive we invoke the power of the spirit of abundance. <br /><br />Do this everyday and watch your life skyrocket with abundance and prosperity.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-5761929864461682637?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-49416177512367672502009-02-03T23:24:00.004-05:002009-02-03T23:31:23.966-05:00The stories that we build around our lives when things happen is amazing. Sometimes something happens and we do not decide to stand apart and look at it for what it is. We decide to tell ourselves some new stories. We make up things that make us then fall into the trap of making our lives more miserable. We're now here in the present. Whatever happened before is in the past, whatever is going to happen is in the future. It can't affect us right now. Right now is the present moment, but sometimes in our minds we're living either in the past or we're living in the future, and never being present all the time. That in itself can be a challenge because what that means is that we tend then to lose focus on whatever we're supposed to be working on now in the present. We have to keep fine tuning the actions that we take so that the results will be the ones that we want instead of focusing on our results all the time and then making the mistake of thinking that the results are really who we are or what we've done. I hope this impacts on all of you, because it sure did on me and once I started realizing that I am not my past and that I create my future, my life changed. Think about it. It's only about actions. Actions in the present moment. Our actions are either moving us towards our target or moving us away from our target. <br /><br />Have a great day.<br /><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://forms.aweber.com/form/91/2083118291.js"></script><br /><a href="http://www.blogcatalog.com/directory/personal/development_and_growth" title="Development and Growth Blogs - BlogCatalog Blog Directory"><img src="http://www.blogcatalog.com/images/buttons/blogcatalog5.gif" alt="Development and Growth Blogs - BlogCatalog Blog Directory" style="border: 0;" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-4941617751236767250?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-10205325536528510272008-12-26T11:45:00.004-05:002008-12-26T13:02:22.188-05:00The most important thing that one should remember is that you cannot change anything outside of you.<br />A man convinced against his will remains unconvinced still.

Obama is just another visible example of somebody who held on to a vision and never let any obstacle deter him from getting to where he wanted to go. Its not only about hope but for me especially it is about us in the so called under-developed world. I would like to call us emerging economies.<br /><br />What I see in Obama is somebody who has shown us that if you really really want to achieve something, and you are absolutely clear about it and you take the appropriate actions, nothing in this world can stop you and everything is possible. This is something that is going to make a difference. We are going to see, especially among black people, a shift in mindset. When Roger Banister broke the record for the four minute mile, he ran that mile under four minutes. Before that it was considered to be totally impossible and nobody thought it would ever be achieved. After he broke it, that same month, thirty seven other people broke it and that same year so many others went on to break it (about 300 or more) and now everybody breaks that 4 minute miles, well nearly everybody if you consider yourself to be an athlete. The only reason it happened was because somebody else did it. That is why I look at Obama and I realize that because he has done it, he has more or less shifted the thought process for every person on the universe, and we can now look at it and say if he can do it so can we too. <br /><br />We are going to see a lot more people emerge, mark my words.

We invite you to join the funeral in<br />the room that has been prepared in the gym.<br /><br />In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of<br />their colleagues, but after a while they started getting<br />curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his<br />colleagues and the company itself.<br /><br />The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were<br />ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people<br />reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up.<br /><br />Everyone thought: 'Who is this guy who was hindering my<br />progress? Well, at least he died!<br /><br />One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and<br />when they looked inside it, they suddenly became speechless.<br /><br />They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if<br />someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was<br />a mirror inside the coffin; everyone who looked inside it could<br />see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that<br />said: There is only one person who is capable of setting<br />limits to your growth: <span style="font-weight:bold;">IT IS YOU!!!!!</span><br /><br />Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your<br />friends changes, when your parents change, when your husband or<br />wife changes, when your company changes, when your church<br />changes, when your location changes, when your money changes,<br />when your status changes...<br /><br />Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your<br />limiting beliefs.<br /><br />Examine yourself, watch yourself. Don't be afraid of<br />difficulties, impossibilities and losses. Be a winner, build<br />yourself and your reality. It's the way you face Life that<br />makes the difference.<br /><br />~Author Unknown~<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-4105788306156144111?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-50993927004116033512008-07-13T13:12:00.002-04:002008-07-13T13:26:42.674-04:00Stop!

Imagine you're drinking a delicious cocktail made from mouthwatering fruit juices and blended with honey and all the best things you could put into it. Imagine that you are sipping it by the beach., enjoying the wonderful view of the ocean. Ahhh! Bliss! There is one problem though. This concoction contains a tiny drop of poison.<br /><br />You cant taste the poison because it is covered and blended into the juices. The pleasure you derive from it is out of this world. You re totally ignorant of the fact that you're ingesting a little bit of the deadly poison. Very slowly it starts to kill you.<br /><br />When we are not conscious of our actions we stand the risk of allowing tiny drops of poison to infiltrate our minds. Jealousy, anger, fear, doubt, worry, hurt etc......are all tiny drops of poison that destroy our bliss and prevent us from creating the life we want.<br /><br />Remember that whatever is impressed is expressed.<br /><br />If we really could see the poison.....would we want to drink the juice? You bet no!<br /><br />So friends as we go about our daily lives lets remember to be conscious of the type of thoughts we think lest we allow poison to infiltrate and render our Intentions null and avoid. Lets practice flushing out the poison through daily meditation, positive affirmations and positive actions.<br /><br />Consciously keeping a constant influx of "the right type" of thoughts and your future is secure!!!<br /><br />Dr Ken Onu is the CEO and founder of Attract Freedom.

Are you looking for happiness? Do you need someone or something to make you happy? Do you feel that it eludes you all the time? Do you find that just when you get into a happy state something or someone always finds a way to bring it to an abrupt end? <br /><br />I used to think like that many years ago until I discovered(no...I learnt the hard way) that happiness is an inside Job.Whenever you look outside of yourself for happiness.....You suffer.Whenever you attach yourself to an outcome...you suffer. Whenever you identify with the good opinion of others ...You suffer.Whenever you feel the need to control an event or other peoples behaviour...you suffer.<br /><br />Here are 8 ways to make sure you stay happy.<br /><br />1.Make sure that when you wake up....You decide what energy you will have for the rest of the day.Do the same before you go to bed.<br /><br />2.Surround yourself with like minded people. Negative people drain your energy.<br /><br />3.Follow your Passion....do what you love...not what you think others want for you<br /><br />4.Know that Change is inevitable.....Change is there to help us grow. Accept it...as a matter of fact look forward to it<br /><br />5.Focus on what you want to create...remember the shortest distance between two points is a straight line....when you know what you want and have it clear in your mind.....Just walk in a straight line towards it. Dont deviate..Dont get distracted. Just focus on it until its done. It doesnt have to be right initially. The people and circumstances will show up..If you just trust.<br /><br />6.Show Gratitude for all that you have and all that you are....It shifts your focus from scarcity to abundance....opening up and expanding your possibilities<br /><br />7. Forget the past....Its gone forever ...You can never bring it back except as a thought. keep only the good experiences...Learn from the bad ones. Learn to forgive others completely...especially yourself.dont forget the saying "Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it".<br /><br />8. Connect with God or your higher self through daily meditation or prayer. This allows us to stay in the present moment..never worrying about the future.<br /><br />9. Talk to yourself positively....When you talk to yourself even if its non verbal you talk to your subconscious. If your subconscious hears it over and over again....it accepts your affirmations as your reality...soon you start to think and behave as you have affirmed.<br /><br />10. Become a being of sharing....look for ways to create value for others. Make it a habit. Look for ways to make other peoples lives better. Remember that you cannot give what you dont have...Learn to fall in love with yourself.<br /><br />Practice all of this and you will find that you never need to look outside of yourself for appreciation or approval.

Are you in a happy mood?<br />Or are you one of those people who wake up in apprehension of what the day might bring? We tend to forget that our thoughts lead us to feel a certain way...this makes us behave in a certain way...and that leads to the habits we adopt...the decisions we make ...the actions we take....inevitably the results we get spring from the thoughts we had in the first place......<br />So the big question is what thoughts are you thinking?<br />I love the quote...."Step aside from all thinking and there is nowhere you cannot go". if we would just remember that we are not our thoughts...our thoughts come and go as they please..if we would just stand aside and observe them...not judging whether they are good or bad..just acknowledging them and not letting them influence the decisions we make....we would be free.<br />Free to create the life we want....there would be no criticizing..complaining or condemning.....we would not wait for things to be right before we take action....we would understand that we are not inferior beings....we were born with the right to take control of our world. If we would just stop blaming others for our situation and understand that we are responsible for everything that happens to us ...through us...and by us....life would just be great.<br />So take control of your thoughts...if you don't ...you suffer......suffering is optional....You have the freedom to choose what you want to think. We have been misled to believe that we have no control over what happens to us...Wrong!!!! every single moment of the day we have the ability to choose how we want to think...feel...behave and act. Its only fear that stops us...fear of taking risks...fear of failure...fear of what others might think..<br />Epictectus said...We are disturbed not by what happens to us...but by our thoughts about what happens to us.<br />So let go! Choose what we want to create and then watch it happen.<br />Thats the way forward.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-170308644428766784?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-87227125851685867162008-05-10T03:04:00.002-04:002008-06-07T02:36:13.898-04:00<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4aUjLiLiriA&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4aUjLiLiriA&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-8722712585168586716?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-79465447718230205252008-05-09T23:26:00.001-04:002008-05-09T23:29:25.637-04:00Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch, who is dying from pancreatic cancer, gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium.

How can we be sure that it is not the ego that is driving us to do what we are doing?<br />I strongly believe that it is the feeling of contentment that signals us that we have arrived. Yes Contentment!<br />Contentment even when there is no money in the Bank! Contentment even when someone insults us. Contentment even though we do not know the outcome of a situation. In other words always living in the present moment. When we feel that way then we are in true alignment with the oneness we call God. Out of that all things become possible. We start attracting things to us with such frequency. because we have found the right space in which to create! The space of now!<br />If I sound confusing let me try to explain this a bit more.<br />You are in a room with two doors and a window. One door is to the left and we will call that the doorway to the past. The other is to your right and we will call that the doorway to the future. Where you now stand looking out of the window in front of you is the present. If that was your mind. You would be in the present moment. That is the place to be ....not in the past( you cant change anything there ..its gone forever) or in the future ( You have no direct control over the future). By staying in the present moment...you can plan for the future. accepting what is and also fully enjoying it. You need not judge..worry...doubt...fear... label or define anything. Add Inspiration and Enthusiasm to Accepting what is in the present moment and you have a winning formula. Everything is as it should be. The only power we have is contentment in the present moment. That is where all success lies.<br /><br /><br />Dr Ken Onu is the founder of Attract Freedom and Spread the Word Inc. He is a Keynote Speaker, Coach, Eye doctor, and Successful Entrepreneur.

Put down your drink. Get off the medication.<br />Quit numbing yourself. The pain's not going away.<br />Not until you thinkarete.<br />“thinkarete”?<br />Yep.<br />Gandhi got it. Einstein got it. Mother Theresa got it.<br />Tiger gets it. Gates gets it. Oprah gets it.<br />The Greeks got it.<br />Get this: Guys like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle said that if you want happiness you better live with areté--a word that literally means virtue or excellence but has a deeper meaning...something closer to “constantly striving to reach your highest potential.”<br />areté.<br />How beautiful is that? It was one of the highest ideals of Greek culture.<br />It should be one of ours.<br />Tragically, it's not.<br />We seem to be more interested in resumes, accolades and 401k's.<br />Speaking of retirement...<br />Who came up with that? Work like crazy doing something we're not passionate about so we can accumulate enough money to pay the bills from our stress-caused illnesses while we complain about what we should have done when we were still young.<br />Hmmm...We can't quite figure that one out. Seems like it makes a bit more sense to go ahead and dare to live now...<br />Why not thinkarete?<br />Live to your highest potential--moment to moment to moment.<br />Not in the mood?<br />Fine. Then live with regret, anxiety, and disillusionment.<br />Your call.<br />Think about it. When do we feel most alive?<br />Exactly. When we're being ourselves--our highest selves.<br />You want happiness?<br />thinkarete.<br />Dream. Grow. Stretch yourself.<br />Rip off the tie. Jump out of the cubicle.<br />Dream. Think. Dare to be crazy.<br />What are you waiting for?<br />thinkarete.<br />Are you crazy enough to think you can change the world?<br />Good.<br />Now go out and do it.<br />Live. Love. Smile. Hug. Laugh. Dream. Do. Create.<br />Have fun. Be intense. Be audacious. Be unreasonable. Act impeccably. Breathe.<br />Be you. Be different. Get paid to do what you love. Dance in your underwear on your way to work...<br />Why not?<br />Ditch the tie. Escape the cube. Leave the 8-5. Trash the resume.<br />Ignore the critics. And the cynics. Burn the corporate ladders. Laugh at the ceilings.<br />Quit the bitching. Open your mind. End the laziness. Overcome the fear. Transcend the conditioning...<br />Why not?<br />Move the world.<br />Change the world.<br />Push the human race forward.<br />Whatever you call it, go out and do it.<br />When?<br />Now.<br />Not when you have enough money or once you do this or do that. That's nonsense.<br />It's not gonna be easy, but go out and live your dream. Now.<br />You deserve it.<br />And, if that doesn't move you: The world deserves it.<br />thinkarete.<br />http://www.thinkarete.com<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-2683851425961801812?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-83455218148108695442008-02-10T02:02:00.000-05:002008-02-10T03:24:58.990-05:00In times of Change the learners will inherit the earth, while the learned will find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.<br />-Eric Hoffer<br /><br />That statement holds true today as it did so many years ago. We have to learn how to use our god given rights... otherwise we lose our talents. Remember the saying "Use it or lose it?"<br /><br />How many of you feel that you are not good at Math? How many of you feel that you are not good at Music? How about Art?<br /><br />Research shows that most people feel that they perform pretty horribly in these fields.<br /><br />The real truth of the matter is that they are so wrong. We are all Born geniuses!<br /><br />Yes every single one of us is a genius. <br /><br />We come into this world utterly naked and helpless equipped with a brain that is seeking knowledge.<br /><br />What happens is that our well intentioned Parents and then our caring teachers help to systematically reduce our genius capability.<br /><br />By the time we reach the 5th grade....our genius capability is practically zero.<br /><br />How does this happen? <br /><br />We are told "Dont do that, you could hurt yourself"," Dont do that until I tell you what to do", "Sit still", "Stop day dreaming", "Pay attention".<br /><br />Parents Protect, Teachers teach us how to conform. Conformity assures that we produce mediocre citizens. Why? <br /><br />Because genius requires to do its own thinking and exploring. Always asking the question Why? Peeling off even deeper layers with the question why?<br /><br />To live at our full potential, we have to relearn how we learn.<br /><br />The Reptilian complex of the brain is responsible for physical safety, the Mammalian complex is responsible for emotional safety. If both of these are repressed due to stress or other factors learning is suppressed. <br /><br />Furthermore, We have the left brain that is responsible for logic and analytical issues and the right brain responsible for holistic thought and creativity.<br /><br />Then we have the concious mind and the unconcious mind or other than concious mind.<br />The other than concious mind processes information at a ratio of 10 Billion bits of data to 1. Compare that to 1 inch of the concious mind versus 11 square miles of the unconscious mind. The unconcious mind is where our intuitive and creative insights come from.<br /><br />Go even further and we have the multiple intelligences, some of us are mathematical logical, verbal linguistic, visual-spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, musical, naturalistic, bodily-kinesthetic. <br /><br />There are more. We are mostly taught using mathematical logical and verbal linguistic models. <br /><br />In most countries the others are taken for granted. This is the reason why we have late bloomers in life. <br /><br />Add the 5 senses of sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell to this.<br /><br />School dropouts are a perfect study. if they leave school with their self-esteem still intact, they tend to become more successful than others because they have not conformed. Good examples are Bill Gates and Richard Branson.<br /><br />We need to use our whole brain. The interplay of all these factors to facilitate whole brain learning. that is what Genius is made of. It is like an orchestra with all the parts playing to become whole.<br /><br />Remember the brain thinks in pictures not in words. <br /><br />When we say 'think of a car' You immediately visualise a car of your liking. <br />You dont see the words car. We have been trained to read linearly from left to right and from the top of the page to the bottom. The subconcious mind can take pictures of the whole page. the brain thinks from whole to parts.<br /><br />This is why learning strategies like Mindmapping, Memory recall techniques,Cornell note taking, speed reading and photoreading( reading at over 25,000 words per minute) are ways to stimulate raw genius.<br /><br />Repetition and Practice are the Mother and Father of all skills.<br /><br />To unlock our genius potential we have to think in ways that are absolutely contrary to what we have been programmed to think so far.<br /><br />That is the hall mark of genius.<br /><br />Dr Ken Onu is the founder of Attract Freedom and Spread the Word Inc.

In order to get different results you have to become a<br />different person . The first thing you need to do is raise your self<br />esteem. You are a wonderful person and you need to acknowledge that to<br />yourself. here are a few actions that I recommend<br />1. Write down your goals (write down all your dreams even if you think you<br />might not achieve them) Write down what you truly want for yourself--then<br />set a time when you expect to achieve them...<br />2. Accept 100% responsibility for your life---If it's got to be its up to<br />me..try to avoid complaining, criticizing and condemning anything or<br />anybody.. Life is as it is.<br />3. Prioritize your time....divide your day into 20 minute compartments.<br />Then plan what you want to do in that time<br />4. Get better at what you do...or what you would like to do...read, watch<br />videos, go to lectures, practice hands on<br />5. Affirm to yourself--that you love, accept, believe, appreciate,<br />respect, support and approve of yourself. --that you are strong,<br />perfect,whole, powerful, loving, happy harmonius and prosperous..Your<br />self-talk is so, so important!<br />6. That you are grateful--for everything that happens to you, through you<br />and by you<br />7. That you will NEVER EVER GIVE UP on your dreams and goals!<br /><br />Dr Ken Onu is the founder of Attract Freedom and Spread the Word Inc.

No matter if we are aware of it or not. I had a chat with a friend on the creative process. We likened the process to making a decision to drink a glass of water from the refridgerator. There are about 6 steps.<br /><br />Step1. Decide you want to drink a glass of Water ....(The Brain immediately produces a mental picture of you drinking the water-as if it has already happened).<br /><br />Step 2. Start moving in the direction of the Kitchen ( Here you have started to take steps in the right direction)<br /><br />Step 3. Pick a glass out of the kitchen cabinet ( You are picking the right tools to make your intention possible)<br /><br />Step 4. Advance to the refridgerator until you are standing right in front of it. (You are taking action and moving closer to your goal)<br /><br />Step 5. Open the refridgerator and start pouring the water (You have reached your goal)<br /><br />Step 6. Enjoy! (Mission accomplished)<br /><br />How hard was that? Simply easy and effortless. This process is the same for creating small things as it is for creating big things. What if somewhere along the way someone told you that you do not need to drink water or that water is bad for you? Or maybe you're not too sure if you want to drink water or not? Or you dont have a glass (tool)? Or you're too lazy to get up? Or you are superstitious or something else? If you accept other peoples opinions ( and for that matter some of your own fears and doubts) as your reality, then you never get to drink the water. Goal not accomplished. Do you see what I am talking about? This is a simple process.<br /><br /><div><div>Yes, you will meet with obstacles, but dont let them detract you from your goal. Find a way around them. Dont allow the clutter of life interefere with what you are trying to create.<br /><br />We allow so many things to get in the way of our objectives.<br /><br />As Mark Joyner puts it: See your target, set it in your sights, then hit it until you hit it.<br /><br />Dr Ken Onu is the founder of Attract Freedom and Spread the Word Inc.

It has often been said: We never see the world the way it is, we see the world the way we are. Things in life often have the meanings we give them. Right now, we are encountering times of uncertainty. Our country has been hit hard by economic challenges, acts of terrorism, and constant downsizing. Situations like this can cause us to adopt a less than empowering attitude. The good news is, there are specific things that we can do to keep a positive and profitable attitude that will benefit us and others in measurable ways, no matter how confusing or challenging times may become.<br /><br />The key that opens your mind and heart to better job performance, an enriching career and life is your attitude. All of us want success; we want good results in all walks of life, in our homes, in work and in all our relationships. The most important single factor that guarantees positive results is a Positive Mental Attitude!<br /><br />Understand how your own attitude affects other people’s attitudes and performance.<br /><br />A positive attitude is important to your social status, your health, your work, the way you challenge obstacles, and the kind of people you attract to your life. A positive attitude will bring more positive opportunities into your life. In a world that revolves around who you know, a winning attitude can make you a star in your social network and net you the opportunity of a lifetime. It attracts successful people who share the same goals.<br /><br />Charles Swindoll says:<br />“The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do.<br />It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.<br />It will make or break a company,…a church…a home.<br />The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change the past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.<br />The only thing we can do is play on the one thing we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.<br />And so it is with you…we are in charge of our attitudes”<br /><br />So what can a positive attitude get you? Positive opportunities which come from your social network, superior health, great success when challenged, and it can make you fun to be around so that more people want to be with you.<br /><br />This may come as a surprise, but your attitude is more important than your aptitude in determining your success in life! Just how critical is attitude to achievement? Well, take a look at one of the greatest inventors of the last two hundred years - Thomas Edison. Every time you turn on a light switch, you experience the result of his persistence in the face of continuous failure.<br /><br />The right attitude will lead you to the right meanings, perceptions and solutions that would not otherwise come if you had a negative and defeating outlook on life. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Dr Ken Onu is the founder of Attract Freedom and Spread the Word Inc.

You’re not alone. Most conscious entrepreneurs go through this type of celebration, anticipation and yes, sometimes even overwhelm. That being said, the beginning of a new year is the perfect time to take some time to get laser-focused on what you want to experience and manifest this year.<br />For the past 5 years, my husband and I have always spent New Year’s Day clarifying and writing our intentions for the New Year. This ritual is a highlight of the year and one that continues to catapult growth on all levels, and help me fully prepare for the year... mentally, emotionally, practically and spiritually.<br />You’ve probably heard that the most powerful thing you can do to manifest your goals is to write them down! There is something about putting your goals in writing that begins to align the Universe to help you realize them (or something better).<br />The following four step process is one of my personal New Year strategies. I hope you’ll print this out and get started with your intentions today!<br />Step 1: Complete<br />The first step to setting clear intentions for the New Year is to feel complete with the events and experiences of the last year. To do this, simply reflect on the past year... beginning back in January. In your mind, run through the year noting the accomplishments, challenges, successes, growth, opportunities and gifts that you experienced. Once you’ve taken time to reflect on the past year, allow yourself to release anything that you may be hanging on to. Take several deep relaxing breaths as you envision completing the year and become fully present to this moment and all the potential that lies ahead for this year.<br />Step 2: Celebrate<br />Next, take out a pen and paper and write a list of everything you have to celebrate from the past year. Focus on all areas of your life, including spiritual (connection to God, meditation, spiritual practice, spiritual community, trust in Divine plan, etc.), personal (health, relationships, fulfillment, family, friends, community, love, etc.), financial (overall financial health, income, debt reduction, investments, money management, etc.), business (new strategies, marketing programs, joint ventures, products and services, client successes, gross income, profitability, support, etc.). Take time to complete your list thoroughly and review it to fully embrace your success and evolution this past year.<br /><br /><br />Step 3: Focus<br />Once you finish completing and celebrating, now become focused on all that you want to manifest this year. Simply create the picture of this coming year in your mind’s eye, getting a clear vision of what you intend to manifest and experience (don’t write anything down, yet... just envision it in your mind and feel it in your heart). Again, as you did in Step 2 “Celebrate”, be sure to include the areas of spiritual, personal, financial and business.<br />Step 4: Commit<br />The last step is to commit your intentions for the year by putting them in writing. This is the most powerful step of the journey; it’s the beginning of taking the vision in your mind and bringing it into reality. There are two different methods I recommend for writing down your intentions for the year, choose the one that feels like the right fit for you: 1) write a description of your year from the standpoint of January 1, 2009 including all the details of what has transpired during this year... be grateful in advance! 2) Write a bullet point-list of your intentions for the year in each of these 4 areas (spiritual, personal, financial and business). You can write your list on index cards putting one area of your life on a different card.<br />Once you complete this four step process (hopefully you’ve also listened to the guided meditation on this process), there is one last BONUS step to include with all of your writings. And, that is to write “this or something better” at the bottom of the paper. Because, as expansive as your intentions and vision for this year are, God/The Universe sees so much more for you. There are gifts waiting for you that you cannot begin to imagine. So, enjoy being clear and energized about this incredible year knowing that you also leave space for miracles to occur.</div><div><br />Companion Guided Meditation on Setting Intentions<br /><a href="http://cmkloser.audioacrobat.com/download/a722abb2-c077-1e79-7a7d-2d4645d7bcb7.mp3">Click here to download… </a><br /><br />© 2007 Christine Kloser<br /><br />Christine Kloser "The Conscious Business Coach," publishes the revolutionary 'Conscious Business Connection' ezine.

Your perception of your reflection reflects the opinion you have of yourself. Do you feel at ease with what you see? Are you comfortable looking back into your own eyes? If you answer any of these questions in the negative, chances are that you don't feel all that great when you look into that mirror. You have a rather low opinion of yourself and feel that you don't quite measure up to that 'ideal image' of who you would like to be.<br /><br />Self-esteem is something that makes you feel comfortable with who you are in spite of imperfections in yourself. It is that attribute that lets you see the 'good' and the 'positive' in you and project that in how you react to the world around you. Lack of self-esteem or a sense of self worth creates a lot of unwanted pain. Living together in a society, people base their opinion of themselves on what is considered 'normal behaviour', something that is very relative. What is acceptable to some may be tolerated by some others and be totally unacceptable for others still. The truth is a person cannot please everyone at the same time. And when it so happens that a certain group of people are not satisfied, it results in criticism, which when conveyed tactlessly or unjustifiably harsh, can result in a massive blow to a person's ego and lead to that person feeling rather bad about himself.<br /><br />Low self-esteem is believing that you are not good enough, a feeling that makes you morose and hinders your ability to reach your potential as an individual. It might stem from feeling 'out of place', from a lack of proper self-awareness or from having very high expectations of one-self. Whatever the cause, it is a debilitating and self-defeating attitude and should therefore, be overcome.<br /><br />The first step towards developing healthy self-esteem is taking stock of all your strengths. Ask yourself what you are good at and don't get discouraged if you don't discover anything at first glance. Then pinpoint the root of what led to that first feeling of worthlessness and keep reminding yourself of all your strengths every time something triggers the negativity. Finally, consciously try to be a little less harsh on yourself.<br /><br />At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you're a bit different from others, or if you take more time to learn something new, or if you aren't the most beautiful to look at. Being at peace with and accepting whoever you are will bring about over-all well being and keep you happy and emotionally satisfied.<br /><br />Dr Ken Onu is the founder of Attract Freedom and Spread the Word Inc.

would you do if you weren't afraid?<br />OK...<br />So...uh...what exactly are you waiting for?<br />This isn't a dress rehearsal...<br />Wake up!<br />Here's the deal: What we can be, we MUST be.<br />Period.<br />There's no getting around that one. <br />So, turn off your TV. Put down your drink. Get off the medication. <br />Quit numbing yourself. The pain's not going away.<br />Not until you thinkarete.<br />“thinkarete”?<br />Yep.<br />Gandhi got it. Einstein got it. Mother Theresa got it. <br />Tiger gets it. Gates gets it. Oprah gets it.<br />The Greeks got it. <br />Get this: Guys like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle said that if you want happiness you better live with areté--a word that literally means virtue or excellence but has a deeper meaning...something closer to “constantly striving to reach your highest potential.” <br />areté.<br />How beautiful is that? It was one of the highest ideals of Greek culture. <br />It should be one of ours.<br />Tragically, it's not.<br />We seem to be more interested in resumes, accolades and 401k's. <br />Speaking of retirement...<br />Who came up with that? Work like crazy doing something we're not passionate about so we can accumulate enough money to pay the bills from our stress-caused illnesses while we complain about what we should have done when we were still young. <br />Hmmm...We can't quite figure that one out. Seems like it makes a bit more sense to go ahead and dare to live now...<br />Why not thinkarete?<br />Live to your highest potential--moment to moment to moment. <br />Not in the mood? <br />Fine. Then live with regret, anxiety, and disillusionment. <br />Your call.<br />Think about it. When do we feel most alive? <br />Exactly. When we're being ourselves--our highest selves.<br />You want happiness?<br />thinkarete.<br />Dream. Grow. Stretch yourself.<br />Rip off the tie. Jump out of the cubicle. <br />Dream. Think. Dare to be crazy. <br />What are you waiting for?<br />thinkarete.<br />Are you crazy enough to think you can change the world?<br />Good. <br />Now go out and do it.<br />Live. Love. Smile. Hug. Laugh. Dream. Do. Create. <br />Have fun. Be intense. Be audacious. Be unreasonable. Act impeccably. Breathe. <br />Be you. Be different. Get paid to do what you love. Dance in your underwear on your way to work...<br />Why not?<br />Ditch the tie. Escape the cube. Leave the 8-5. Trash the resume.<br />Ignore the critics. And the cynics. Burn the corporate ladders. Laugh at the ceilings. <br />Quit the bitching. Open your mind. End the laziness. Overcome the fear. Transcend the conditioning...<br />Why not?<br />Move the world. <br />Change the world. <br />Push the human race forward. <br />Whatever you call it, go out and do it. <br />When?<br />Now.<br />Not when you have enough money or once you do this or do that. That's nonsense.<br />It's not gonna be easy, but go out and live your dream.

You want that other person (or<br />many other people) to give you their money. Why should they do<br />that? In other words, what makes you give someone the money you<br />have?<br /><br />Obviously, the only reason you give money to another person,<br />especially someone you're not related to, is because they can do<br />something for you that you value more than the money you have.<br />Whether it is a product that they can give you possession of, or<br />a service that you would enjoy having, the principle is the same.<br /><br />Now, turn it around and think about what you can do for other<br />people that they would value more than the money you would be<br />asking for it. In the online world, the most profitable ventures<br />are those that offer valuable information that cannot be found<br />anywhere else. That's one reason that the Keys To Power website<br />has succeeded so well. I try to give information and service<br />that is worth at least 10 times what I ask for it.<br /><br />But back to you and your ticket to wealth. What do people tend<br />to compliment you for? What do you find so easy to do, or so<br />interesting that you don't care if you get paid for it or not?<br />What is the best contribution you can possibly make to the world?<br />These are questions that will lead you to your most profitable<br />career.<br /><br />Okay, now that we've covered the practical side of the problem,<br />now lets cover how we can use Power to amplify our effectiveness.<br /><br />Here is a very simple technique that pulled me out of the deepest<br />pits of poverty that I ever experienced (homelessness). I also<br />use the same technique now, and it works great! This technique<br />completely eradicates every obstacle in your path to financial<br />freedom!<br /><br />Get out into a natural environment. Release all tensions in your<br />mind and body. Breathe in the joy of Spirit and the infinite<br />abundance of the universe. Continue with this until you feel as<br />if you own the whole world!<br /><br />Even though this technique does not address our current<br />situation, that is what gives it it's true Power. Many times our<br />lack of prosperity is due to a belief that our situation is<br />hopeless, or too difficult to change. By releasing it<br />completely, you gain a whole new perspective and can approach<br />solving your financial problems in a new way.<br /><br />=================================================================<br />Alan Tutt is the creator of the world-famous Keys To Power<br />Step by Step Course available at http://www.KeysToPower.com.

But it is not too late for change, says Van Jones, a respected social justice leader. In this inspiring video, he shares that change begins with a worldview that says we’re not going to leave anyone behind.

Its so lovely to live in the Caribbean. The beauty of the sky, the fresh air, the birds twirping in the trees. Nature has a way of calming ones thoughts. I really felt connected and grateful. On my way I noticed an apartment building under construction. Just looking at it, one could not tell how it would look one day.However the architects put up a picture of what the end result would be. I couldnt help comparing the ugly unfinished project to the beautiful picture I was seeing.<br />I was thinking, everything in life is just like the building. It starts in someones mind with a beautiful finished picture. What we see most of the time is just a part of the creation until it is finished and ready. Ready to be admired, ready for someone to be proud of.<br />First the idea, then the picture, then the action steps, persistence and finally the <br />end product. Creating is wonderful.<br /><br />warmly,<br /><br />Ken<br />http://www.kenonu.com<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-5537831994574036394?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-54843310576658742092007-10-28T16:29:00.000-04:002007-10-28T16:45:33.743-04:00It's not what you have but what you do with what you have that will determine your success or failure. Be the person you would like your people to become. Brian Tracy, the great success coach says that you have to ask yourself four questions everyday.<br />They are:<br />1. What kind of world would my world be, if every one in it were just like me?<br /><br />2. What kind of country would my country be,if every one in it were just like me?<br /><br />3. What kind of a company would my company be,if every one in it were just like me?<br /><br />4.What kind of a family would my family be,if every one in it were just like me?<br /><br />Maybe you are there already. Then hats off to you. But be honest, look at your shortcomings and realize that for things to change...YOU have to change. The only problem we have in this world is Ignorance.<br /><br />Its time to stop chasing freedom. Its time to attract it. No excuses. Just make it happen.<br /><br />warmly,<br />Ken<br />http://www.kenonu.com<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-5484331057665874209?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-24366015455143379472007-10-24T18:47:00.000-04:002007-10-28T16:29:02.587-04:00=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=<br />An Efficient Meditation Technique – Basic Steps to Follow<br />By Susan Masters<br />http://www.attractmeditation.info<br />=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=<br /><br />Many individuals that are in search of clearing their minds<br />from daily worries and stress turn to meditation. But is<br />there a 100% efficient meditation technique? The facts are<br />that there can be found various meditation techniques -<br />some of them quite specialized and detailed - but there are<br />a few steps that need to be followed regardless of the<br />chosen method: the breathing, the relaxing and the<br />meditation itself. Here they are!<br /><br />How to Breathe<br /><br />The first thing you should know is that there is no<br />effective meditation technique without proper breathing.<br />Basically, you need to focus on your breathing, to breathe<br />in slowly, yet deeply and to let the air out as slowly as<br />you can, but without making any effort. Try to think that the<br />air is clean and pure, that it comes straight from God,<br />from the perfect nature or from other positive ideal<br />sources. Furthermore, try to feel that the breathing is<br />cleansing your entire body and that it is helping your body<br />loosen up. Some individuals find it useful to try to breathe<br />as slowly as possible and, at the same time, as quietly as<br />possible - try to think like you are "whispering" your<br />breathing.<br /><br />How to Relax<br /><br />Meditation and relaxation go hand in hand and depend on<br />each other, so make sure that you are committed to begin a<br />complex meditation exercise program, a program<br />that is based on a previous relaxation and detachment from<br />worries and problems. But how can you make sure that you<br />reach the needed level of relaxation? Well, first of all,<br />you need to be surrounded by a welcoming, appealing and<br />intimate decor that can permit you relax and meditate.<br />Select the place where you feel most comfortable and at<br />peace.<br /><br />How to Meditate<br /><br />The wide range of meditation tools and techniques permits<br />you to find the one that is most suitable for you. But<br />there is one meditation technique that seems to be very<br />popular and easily applicable: the visualization meditation<br />practice. The only question here is: "What should you<br />visualize?" the answer is quite simple: you should<br />visualize on the one thing that makes you feel relaxed, happy,<br />satisfied or that induces any other feeling you enjoy.<br />Basically, it can be anything: a moment that happened, a<br />moment that you expect to happen, an activity that relaxes<br />you, a fantasy, a trip to an exotic island or, why not,<br />your own room or home (the place where you feel safest and<br />best), a natural element, your loved ones and the list can<br />go on and on.<br /><br />When you are imagining or picturing the selected moment or<br />element, you have to let all its beauty invade you, you<br />have to be receptive to all the stimulants that it offers<br />you, to enjoy it in all the ways you can. Observe your<br />selected element carefully, slowly, be attentive to the<br />details. Live the emotions that it creates with intensity<br />and you will live the meditation experience at high<br />standards.<br /><br />Once you have started to meditate, make sure you practice<br />your meditation technique every day or at least every other<br />day and make sure you follow the above tips, in order to<br />get to the desired results. Remember that meditation is a<br />key to a better health, a better sleep, a better focus and,<br />in general, to a better life, so those 10 minutes every day<br />are worth it!<br /><br />=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-<br />Want To Quiet The Mind, Supercharge Your Energy Level &<br />Manifest What You Truly Desire In Life?<br /><br />We've created a FREE audio e-course with meditation<br />techniques to get you started.

Dillaine had come down for the annual Toastmasters conference in Guyana...I just love her mindset. She says....When you wake up each morning, after brushing your teeth just go out and conquer the world.<br />This is what she does every single day. The other day she decided that she was going to invest in real estate. And she was going to invest in a posh area in Trinidad and Tobago.<br />Now everyone told her to give up for two specific reasons. One she is not a real estate agent and as such had no information as to what was for sale in the area. The second reason was that the area is a very expensive area and is considered to be exorbitant.<br />Dillaine took 5 days off from work, dressed up for the occassion and slipped on comfortable walking shoes.She went from house to house and by the end of the fourth day and 65 houses, she had purchased two properties for a quarter of the market price. How did she do it, you might ask? She told me...I was focused...I knocked on each door, I was pleasant, I was confident and I acted as if I expected it. The neighbours were pleasant..I told them that I was looking for property to rent, lease or buy...By the time I was done..I knew what was available, people who were ready to sell. They even pointed out those who had challenges and might be willing to sell. It was simply amazing she said... All the people who were willing to share information.<br />Folks..the morale of the story is ..never be afraid to ask.. stay focused, relentlessy pursue your dreams and never give up.<br />So wake up...brush your teeth and then go out to conquer the world<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4875490251735497377-3083511152928801203?l=attractfreedomnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Ken Onuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473239264213960782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875490251735497377.post-44365422686853690052007-10-16T01:13:00.000-04:002007-10-16T01:34:38.797-04:00</span></p> <br /> <p class="style222"><br /> <span class="style63"> <font size="5"><br /> &quot;SEVEN STEPS TO A TERRIFIC LIFE&quot;</font></span></p> <br /> <p class="style222"><br /> <b><font size="4"><br /><img border="0" src="http://www.attractfreedom.com/sevensteps.jpg" width="160" height="219"></font></b></p> <p class="style222"><br /> <span class="style63">CLEPHANE ''TERRIFIC&quot;
