Growth- Money #1
Ask yourself the following questions:
- What can I give to others so that I may be paid?
- How much money do I want?
- Where can I create value?
Do the following:
- Focus on giving, before getting.
- Get clear on how much money I need.
- Get rid of my debt.
Money is just a tool. Money is to be used as a transfer of utility and as a transfer of value. Nothing more, nothing less. Get clear on money. How much money I need. Then get it.

Emotions- Key Area #1
Controlling your emotions is vital in creating balance and happiness in your life. Without it, there is anxiety, frustration and fear.
Note, that there is a clear distinction between feelings and emotions. Feelings are conscious experiences of emotions that we can control. Emotions are unconscious expressions that are deep seated.
Having and creating emotional stability should be one’s priority. To control one's emotions, work needs to be done at the sub-conscious level.
See tools for working on the sub-conscious mind in future posts and a book coming out later.

Spirituality- The Key to Happiness #1
Seeking spirituality is the ultimate power of human beings. Seeking spirituality is not only seeking the higher power- God, it's seeking self expression.
By seeking who we are spiritually on a higher level, this allows us to understand ourselves more thoroughly.
This also gives us meaning. This meaning is a sense of understanding and a sense of connectedness to other spiritual beings. Additionally, most importantly, it gives us a sense of connectedness to our creator- God.
This also provides clarity and understanding that we are more than our bodies, more than our minds and we are ultimately more than our souls. We are an intertwined combination of all three components that make up an astounding entity- a Human Being.

Purify- The Body #1
It's time to evaluate and clear out all of the bad things that I have accumulated in my body over the last 42 years. So, one of the ways to do this safely and effectively is to do a natural colon cleanse.
Oh boy, here we go. This could be fun, I'm sure you are saying to yourself. Well, maybe not. However, this is a good way to start over, begin anew. Who knows, this may also save my life.
Purification is necessary with our Mind, Body and Soul. So, this is a step I am taking to purify my body so that I may begin to start over. A clean slate. Al-righty then. Here we go.

Relationships- "The Golden Rule"
The key to a solid relationship is communication. There are many forms of communication, however, there are only two forms of communication that matter.
All Beings are either doing one of two things when they are with another Human Being. They are either calling for Love or they are giving Love.
Think about this. The next time you are angry with another Human Being, ask yourself what you really want. Do I just want to be Loved?

Career- 3 P's #1
In order to have a focused, balanced and happy career, three components must be in place;
Purpose- what I have to do.
Passion- what I want to do.
Proficiency- what I'm good at.
When Purpose, Passion and Proficiency are combined, they form a sweet spot, a true target. Until then, we will be floating aimlessly throughout life and we will not have true happiness, joy and peace.

Eckhart Tolle - "The Silent Space of Stillness"
Stillness of our consciousness, is in everyone.
No matter how turbulent our thoughts and realities are, obtaining stillness should be one's priority.
Seeking and obtaining stillness allows for freedom, liberty and peace in our lives. Without stillness, we will continue to be a slave to our own thoughts and ego.

Personality Types
What is a "Personality Type"?
A personality type is essentially a "coat" or "mask" that we have put on our "persona" to project outward to the world. This is a "mask" because it is a learned set of behaviors that each of us has adapted to and have essentially become.
Although we are a combination of behaviors, each one of us has a dominant "mask" that we project to the world. If we want to, we have the ability to change this "mask" and to move into a different "personality type".
There are 4 main types of personality:
These are just "types" and all of us are blends of all types. Knowing your own type is helpful in identifying your needs and wants. Knowing other peoples personality type helps us to better relate to other people's needs and wants. The benefit of knowing personality types is that it will enhance and improve relationships that we have with others and ourselves.
