Confidence hypnosis, as you can probably guess by its name, is focused on gaining the trust of any target audience to the point where they can be manipulated without outside awareness of the tactic. This could be on a one-to-one basis, such as in an employee-employer exchange. Or it could involve a much larger group of people in which the confidence hypnosis practitioner wishes to influence and dominate for his or her own gain.
One of the first questions my more humble students ask me is always related to if there is anything immoral about such an activity. However I would like to reassure my readers that it’s not a tool (which confidence hypnosis is) that is harmful, but the person utilising that tool. We all have a choice about how to use our skills and talents, and training in confidence hypnosis is just the same as any other.
What you need to remember first and foremost is that world leaders and politicians have been using these language softening and manipulation techniques for years. Sure, they’ve maybe not had formal training. Even more interesting, they might not have realised their use of these strategies!
Regardless of the above, the fact remains that people who employ confidence hypnosis move on to become much more successful, powerful and influential than their peers. There is a reason why books on rhetoric focus in on specific famous speakers, usually involving presidents, prime ministers and other famous names.
The reality is that even if you aren’t born with these talents, you have two options. You can pay someone else to feed you the material to get through specific incidents (such as a speech in a government office). Or, you can truly train yourself to understand these methods; this is usually done via a learning course or mentorship program. There are several well-respected colleges offering training in such areas, although potential students should always follow advice about how to assess courses on offer, just like any other wily consumer.
The importance of knowing your passion and following your own path.
By:
Trevor C. Krueger
Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you I am a well founded person with good morals and a generosity of heart. My parents brought me up well, I had a great childhood and good parental guidance. Frankly, I could not have asked for more. My parents were loving, hard working people who gave me a great deal of freedom, safe in the knowledge that they had taught me well and could trust me not to get into trouble or ever do anything I or they would be ashamed of. I had, you might say, a good start in life.
But amidst this idyllic childhood dwelled an unseen spectre that has always haunted me. Dad, though a good man in every respect, instilled in me a deep set and powerful control that has stayed with me all my life and, to be honest, prevented me, or given me the excuse at least, for not reaching my full potential in the way I would have liked. Dad, bless him, was a modest man, a man who lived within his means and self determined position. He was never out of work, never in debt, resourceful, even ingenious at times but, most of all, always knew his place as a working man and never once was tempted to step across his comfort zone boundaries in order to better himself. Now, maybe he had it right? As I mentioned, he was never out of work and he never owed anyone. He died a much loved and respected man which always makes me wonder, is there anything more you can hope to achieve in life?
Of course, personal happiness and the self perceived achievement of our full potential is a very personal thing. No one can decide what is truly best for us other than – ourselves. As a result I have taught my children just one thing, one rule to live by. “Don’t do what the system expects of you, do what makes you happy”. Though we don’t realise it our society preconditions us to what is “normal” and “expected” of us. Get educated, get a job, get married, get a house, get kids, get old. It doesn’t have to be like that and being a “non-conformist” will not send you on the road to Hell, quite to the contrary it will send you on the road to freedom.
It’s often said, “we only have one life”, no one can deny that. But a life is like a car, we can all have one but how we drive it will determine where we go. I always wanted to write, to be a musician, to live in the countryside , to be a free creative, a citizen of the World. But I ended up with two marriages, four children and a mortgage and a feeling of unfulfilment in many ways. Of course I love my family and would not change a thing in that respect but there is still a big part of me that wants to climb to the highest hill and soar like an Eagle. Now at 50 I am doing my best to do just that.
I have learned allot through my life, amassed great knowledge I can now pass on, that will help others structure their lives and not miss out on what they need to accomplish to feel fulfilled. I am delighted to now be doing this as a mentor and life coach. I have also joined a company who will promote my songs. I am writing a novel and working on a major internet project that could affect and benefit millions of people. Life is now revolving around what I want to do and, for the first time in a long time, I feel great.
Finding and following your passion is a fundamental necessity to finding happiness. You must like who you are, be happy when you wake in the morning and when you retire at night. Be free of self doubt or denial, you must be free to be – you.
My aim and objective now is to help people to do this. To find ways to improve their life and happiness by learning how to be honest with themselves, how to ask themselves questions, hear the right answers and then, ultimately, to act upon them.
Fortunately for me I have discovered a group of people I can relate to. Other, like minded thinkers, who also seek to help people as I do. Just knowing these people exist and feel the same as me is extremely comforting, unlike my father, these people have helped me understand that it is indeed okay to follow your dreams and pursue your passion. It is important to do that as soon as you can.
The World is changing, as are lifestyles and values, it has to for society to survive. I believe that one day we will be judged more on the size of our vegetable patch than the car on our drive. Pursuit of our passions will replace pursuit of possessions as a passion will last forever while products can only fall victim to changing fashion and obsolescence.
Your inner health will become your outer wealth, your state of happiness your road to contentment and your focus on freedom over the shackles of social conformity will truly unlock all your doors for you.
This is a time to look at your life and make changes and I can help you do that.

Conversation starters can literally save your life on a first date.
Why?
Well, as you know, going on a first date can be very scary and intimidating. Our minds are overcome with fear and insecurities and we cave in to those emotions.
We’re scared of being rejected, we’re afraid of failure, we’re nervous about saying the wrong thing at the wrong time and we’re anxious about what our date will think of us.
All these anxieties are totally human and completely understandable – but they produce devastating results: they paralyze us and greatly inhibit our ability to behave normally and confidently like we do with our family and with our closest friends.
Our personal fears lead us to the most uncomfortable situation where we feel a terrible lack of confidence, all stressed out, angry and frustrated. The bottom line is that we’re doomed to end up in the most annoying, embarrassing and even humiliating situation, which we all know as that “awkward silence”.
Believe it or not, most of us do have the capacity to carry on a fluid, easy-going and enjoyable conversation with people we have known for years – so, with the right approach, it shouldn’t be any different with the woman we’re on a first date with.
And the right approach is… conversation starters!
Preparing a list of topics and questions that you can use on the first date can do wonders for your dating skills.
When you have an arsenal of conversation starters – it’s very easy to keep the conversation going.

A thief is defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary as one that steals especially stealthily (slow & deliberate) or secretly. Is there a thief in your house? I know that you are probably saying to yourself, “Of course, there isn’t a thief in my house”. But are you really sure about that?
When I ask you if there is a thief in your house, I don’t really mean your physical house. I am referring to your life in general. Now, grab a piece of paper and write down everyone in your close social network. These people are your friends, colleagues, business partners, etc. Take a good look at that list and understand that you are entrusting your Why in life (your ultimate purpose) to all of these people. That’s right…these people are a determining factor in the actual achievement of your Why in life. How does that feel? If you are confident in your associations, then simply stop reading this article. BUT if there is any doubt in your mind that someone you’ve listed could ultimately destroy your Why then keep on reading!
A thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy your dream for not only you but also your family. How? A thief will slowly gain your trust and many times the trust of your family and friends. Then, the thief begins to take cowardly action steps that slightly interfere with your progression towards the achievement of your Why. Before you know it, you wake up one day and that person that you trusted has stolen your chances of ever achieving your Why in life. How does that make you feel? I’m sure that you are truly fired up at the thought of anyone stealing from you and your family!
So, how do you stop the thief? You DECLARE that you and only you will decide if you succeed or fail in life. You simply can’t allow the thief to step foot in your “house”. Just like you have an alarm on your car, you must have a powerful alarm on your Why that violently sounds off when the thief is trying to slither into your life like a snake. You must believe that you possess the power to stomp that snake and stop him/her from stealing your Why!
I don’t want to make you paranoid about everyone around you. I just want to make you aware that sometimes people that we trust are in disguise. Often, these people truly do care about us but become infected with greed and jealously, which makes them become our worst enemy.
Remember, you must guard your Why and protect it from the thief. If you don’t, then no one will.

Vincent Van Gogh, famous for his art of 1880-90, but not recognized for it until well into the twentieth century believed that, “great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” If we consider that the goals you need to set must be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely. What we need to discuss now is how to break down your goals to ensure that you achieve them. If you are anything like me, you usually have a few irons in the fire, rushing around trying to get them all completed. We have to know how to further break down our specific goals in order to achieve success in what we are doing.
First, pick just one goal that you really want to accomplish. Put your focus into achieving this goal only and then you can move onto the next one. This might be a goal that you are already working on, but maybe you haven’t been consistent in moving it forward successfully. Well, stick with that one and build your confidence knowing that you are one step to attaining it each day.
Next, take that goal and write it down. Put in a place where you will be certain to see it several times a day. This says that you are committed to it, and that you really want it. It’s not just something in your subconscious. It is a visible, written statement about what it is your striving for.
This next step is equally as important and that is tracking your progress. You must do this everyday. This can be as simple as jotting down a note on a calendar, or writing it down in your journal-. It could mean that you have a support person, family or friend, whom you report to each day (or week) about the progress you are making in achieving your goal. Studies by experts have concluded that if you can successfully put into practice your goal for twenty-one consecutive days you are well on your way to tackling the next goal.
You cannot possibly do any of this without ensuring that you have some “me” time in your life set aside to realize your dream. Whatever time of day works best for you, early morning, late night, or lunchtime, make sure this is when you are successfully working on your goal. Don’t give yourself excuses such as you don’t have enough time. Make sure you allot yourself the “me” time you need to work on yourself. You’re worth it.
Possibly the most difficult step to achieving our goals is being firm. I mean with ourselves, in that only we can do the work that needs to be done to accomplish our goals. You have to really want it, be committed, and yet be somewhat flexible to ensure that you can carry on when life throws you a curve ball. Think only positive thoughts and don’t put any negative words into the mix or you will certainly extinguish the flame you have lit that keeps your dreams burning bright.
Take some time to set a S.M.A.R.T. goal, write it down, put it somewhere visible where you can see it throughout the day, track your progress, ensure you have set aside enough “me” time, and remain POSITIVE, POSITIVE, POSITIVE. Last but not least, take time to celebrate your accomplishments. Enjoy that feeling of success that comes over you for a job well done, and the excitement you feel knowing you are one step closer to achieving your dream.
As a great lady named Kathy Seligman, an independent fundraising consultant in the United Kingdom once stated, “You can’t hit a home run unless you step up to the plate. You can’t catch a fish unless you put your line in the water. You can’t reach your goals if you don’t try.”

The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran (18)
This is the 18th article of the series:” The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran”.
The Bible says: I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one that was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him. We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true—even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
The Noble Quran says that the Messiah, Jesus Christ, the son of Mary, was only a messenger sent to his people; and it is an unforgivable sin if you say or believe that the Almighty Creator has a son or sons; this major sin will lead to the Eternal Fire in the Hereafter. Also the Quran says that the whole worlds, not only this world, are under the control of Allah.
——————————————————————–
The Sons of the Lord God in the Bible (18)
The Bible (1 John 5:13-21) says:
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him. If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death. We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him. We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true—even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.
——————————————–
1 John 5:13-21 in three different versions of the Bible:
New International Version
13I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
14This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
15And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
16If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that.
17All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.
18We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him.
19We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.
20We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true—even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
21Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.
American Standard Version
13 These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, even unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God.
14 And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:
15 and if we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
16 If any man see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: not concerning this do I say that he should make request.
17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18 We know that whosoever is begotten of God sinneth not; but he that was begotten of God keepeth himself, and the evil one toucheth him not.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in the evil one.
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21 My little children, guard yourselves from idols.
King James Version
13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
16If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
===============================
The Sons of the Lord God in the Quran (18)
The Noble Quran makes the topic of the son(s) of God very clear and says that Allah, the Almighty Creator, has neither a son nor a partner.
In addition, The Quran makes the signs that Jesus was not god very understandable.
The Quran says: O mankind! The Messenger, Muhammad has now come to you with the truth from your Lord; and if you disbelieve in Allah, your disbelief will not harm Him
To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth, as possessions, creatures and servants, and such sovereignty is not compatible with the prophet-hood of Jesus. God suffices as a Guardian, a Witness to this.
The Quran decisively forbids saying that Allah has a son.
It is not befitting for the Majesty of Allah to take to Himself a son.
Allah is exalted, magnified; He is above what they associate with Him of son or partners. Allah is far transcendent above all that they ascribe unto Him!
In Islam, this point is very important faith wise.
- Again, it is unforgivable sin to say or to believe that the One Almighty Creator [who is Allah or God or the Lord or Jehovah or whatever name(s) you are giving Him] has a son or Sons.
From the Islamic point of view, the conclusion of this essential topic that may establish or destroy the faith is that:
Any one who believe that the Almighty Creator has a son or Sons; he messes up his faith and is considered as a disbeliever and in the afterlife he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the hell.
Any one who believes that the Almighty Creator has no son or partner, he has a good faith and is considered as a believer; and in the afterlife, he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the paradise.
Verses 4:170-171 of the Noble Quran make the topic of the son(s) of God plain, clear and understandable.
——————————————–
The meanings of verse 4:170
O mankind! The Messenger, Muhammad has now come to you with the truth from your Lord; with the declaration of Allah’s divine Oneness and the Quran from your Lord. Therefore believe) in Muhammad and the Quran so believe in him and seek what, it is better for you, than that which you are presently seeking.
And if you disbelieve, in Allah, Muhammad and the Quran, then surely to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth, as possessions, creatures and servants, and your disbelief will not harm Him; and Allah is ever Knowing of His creation; He is ever Knower of those who believe and those who do not. He is the Wise in what He does with them and in that He ordained that they should not worship other than Him.
The meanings of verse 4:171
O People of the Gospel, do not go to extremes, do not go beyond the bounds, do not exaggerate, do not be extreme in your religion and do not say about God except, the saying of, the truth, such as exalting Him above any associations with a partner or a son.
The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, was only the Messenger of God, and His Word (that is “Be”) which He conveyed unto Mary and through His word Jesus became a created being, (and a spirit from Him) and through His command, Jesus became a son without a father.
He [Jesus] is here attached to God, exalted be He, as an honoring for him, and not as you claim, that he is the son of God, or a god alongside Him, or one of three, because one that possesses a spirit is compound, while God transcends being compound and the attribution of compounds to Him.
- Refrain, from this and say what, it is better for you, to say, which the profession of Allah Oneness is.
Verily, God is but One God. Glory be to Him, transcending [the possibility], that He should have a son!
To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth, as possessions, creatures and servants, and such sovereignty is not compatible with the prophet-hood of Jesus. God suffices as a Guardian, a Witness to this.
In other words, the verse says, Allah is only One God without a son or partner. Far is it removed from His Transcendent Majesty that he should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth are His servants. And Allah is sufficient as Defender, as Lord of all created beings and He is witness of what He says about Jesus.
——————————————-
Verses 4:170-171 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:
Verse 4:170
QARIB: o people, the messenger (prophet Muhammad) has come to you with the truth from your lord, so believe, it is better for you. if you disbelieve, to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. and Allah is the knower, the wise.
SHAKIR: o people! surely the messenger has come to you with the truth from your lord, therefore believe, (it shall be) good for you and if you disbelieve, then surely whatever is in the heavens and the earth is Allah’s; and Allah is knowing, wise
PICKTHAL: o mankind! the messenger hath come unto you with the truth from your lord. therefor believe; (it is) better for you. but if ye disbelieve, still, lo! unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. Allah is ever knower, wise.
YUSUFALI: o mankind! the messenger hath come to you in truth from Allah: believe in him: it is best for you. but if ye reject faith, to Allah belong all things in the heavens and on earth: and Allah is all-knowing, all-wise.
Verse 4:171
QARIB: people of the book, do not exaggerate your religion. Do not say about Allah except the truth. Indeed, the messiah, Jesus son of Mary, is only a messenger (and prophet) of Allah, and his word (be) which he gave to Mary, and a (created) spirit by him. So believe in Allah and his messengers and do not say: ‘trinity. ‘Refrain, it is better for you. Allah is only one god. Exaltations to him that he should have son! To him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth, it is sufficient that Allah is the guardian.
SHAKIR: o followers of the book! do not exceed the limits in your religion, and do not speak (lies) against Allah, but (speak) the truth; the messiah, Isa son of Marium is only a messenger of Allah and his word which he communicated to Marium and a spirit from him; believe therefore in Allah and his messengers, and say not, three. desist, it is better for you; Allah is only one Allah; far be it from his glory that he should have a son, whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is his, and Allah is sufficient for a protector
PICKTHAL: o people of the scripture! do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. the messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and his word which he conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from him. So believe in Allah and his messengers, and say not “three” – cease! (it is) better for you! – Allah is only one Allah. Far is it removed from his transcendent majesty that he should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as defender.
YUSUFALI: o people of the book! Commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and his word, which he bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from him: so believe in Allah and his messengers. Say not “trinity”: desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: glory be to him: (far exalted is he) above having a son. to him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.

When young, we all dream of Retirement, The Good Life , the never ending round of pleasure, and it certainly won’t hurt thinking about How, When and Where you would retire in order to prepare for this Utopia. The reality of course is there is no such paradise., so if you are wise you’ll take
Early steps to realize those dreams, while you can
The following are a number of tips to ensure you are set for life.
1. Money as always is the deciding factor for all the above questions Many wait until the age of 65 before finally deciding to retire, and by that time unless you have made provisions life can drastically change financially.
2. Nowadays, many people retire even earlier and by following some tips that will save money, a person can retire early and enjoy it.
3. The first thing you MUST do is manage the expenses. It is a Fact that big expenses such as a mortgage, even a car will take some time to finish. By cutting down on luxury items and getting something similar for a more affordable value, the money saved could be used for reducing those debts. A good example, instead of buying lunch out everyday, you could make lunch at home, take it to work, it doesn’t sound much. But over a year it all adds up.
4. The next step to early retirement is to accumulate capital. At an early age, you can start saving into a reliable plan.. Some Banks and Insurance companies have good rates which in the long term will possibly even double the money you have put aside over a period of ten years..
5. Lastly, you can have more money by investing it. Studies have shown that there are many places where money can be doubled. You can do it through bonds, putting some money in the stock market, purchasing some real estate property and even putting up a business.
A little money spent wisely on sound investments is another way in helping you amass a certain amount of money and make the dream of retirement happen As YOU would like.
The task is not easy., but then whoever said it would be. Some people retire in total poverty with no chance. Don’t be one of those. There will be times you will be tempted to buy something. It just takes a lot of planning, patience and self-control to make it happen., but go on. Live that Dream
Retirement is not the end as I can testify Personally. It is a NEW beginning. It is a another Phase of life where one chapter closes and we move forward with confidence to face another.
It is a time that you may be able to restructure your life and spend more time with the family or give more to the community.
New opportunities may arise from it and by showing the same amount of Vigour and Courage as you have done in your working life so many times, the options are endless. I am a 68year old Pensioner, in ENGLAND and refuse to sit in any rocking chair. And all the above tips apply to wherever you happen to live. We all face the same problems when we retire.
The choice is up to you what to do next. Follow my lead, whether you are still working OR Retired, start a Business online to really help those decreasing Pensions.. Click on the following to see what I mean.
When I was doing my research for my special report on making friendly conversation, I discovered that there’s a lot of information out there on the topic of how to start a conversation, and a lot of information about how to keep a conversation going.
On the topic of how to end a conversation, there’s not so much information.
This is unfortunate, because a lot of people have a hard time knowing how to end a conversation. If you go on talking for far too long, you can bet the other person is going to think twice before starting a conversation with you again. In fact, when I was thinking to myself, “What is it that sometimes makes me avoid certain people?” the number one answer that came to mind was that I avoid those people who keep on talking and talking and I can never get away.
On the other hand, there can be a problem with ending conversations too early. If you end your conversation too quickly, you may miss the chance to develop the relationship into something deeper than being mere acquaintances.
So, how long should a friendly conversation be? There are no hard, definite answers that cover every possibility. Once again, you have to pay attention to your partner, listen to their comments and watch their body language. Look for clues to see if they are getting restless.
What sort of signs should you watch out for that will tell you that the other person wants to go? How about when they tell you, “Well, I’ve really got to be going now!”
It’s amazing how many times I have been with someone and I have said, “I’ve got to get going now.” and yet the other person found something else to talk about that took another ten minutes.
It’s amazing how many times somebody told be that they had to leave, and I was the one who kept on talking and didn’t let them go!
If you suspect the other person is getting restless and wants to leave but they are too polite to say anything, you can ask them if they need to go. You can tell them you don’t want to keep them from doing their other tasks. If they tell you that they don’t have to go yet, the two of you can keep on talking for a while longer.
If you’re talking with somebody that you’d like to see again, the end of a conversation is a perfect time to tell them how much you have enjoyed talking with them, and that you hope you see them again real soon.
In fact, you can use this time to ask if it would be alright to call them to meet for lunch or for coffee, if you think they would be receptive.
The end of a conversation, if properly handled, can play a big part in getting a relationship to move forward.
King Solomon once said without a vision people perish. Whether you believe in the Christian belief in King Solomons wisdom or not, the truth he speaks is paramount, and it is alleged that he became the wealthiest person with a wealth equating today to 1 trillion dollars! Gain wisdom from the master! Once there was a great king who prayed that he gain wisdom. This prayer for wisdom helped him amass a wealth of 1 trillion dollars in todays money it is alleged! This is big money, and a kind of wealth which is amazing and mind boggling. Achieving this sum took wisdom. Here is what I wanted to point out another subtle example, and that is that once I heard about a man who climbed Mount Everest. He climbed up, but unfortunately got so ill in a point they call the dead man zone. Passing this zone, if anyone is sick past a point, they need to be left behind so it doesnt jeopardize the entire group. The man miraculously woke up and climbed back down by himself. The reason? He said that he thought of his wife, and he loved her so much that he had to go back. So he did. This is a prime example of having a vision. So I testify that without a vision people perish. Goal setting is a subset of vision. A vision is a picture of an ideal. Goals must come out of a vision, not the other way around. First a picture of an ideal must be painted, and then the goals plucked out of it. I find it funny how so few people follow this train of thought. In fact I used to do it, and realized this when people explain my goal is to make 1 million dollars. It is as though once the money comes they will know what to do with it! Life does not operate with such methods. A vision is essential as holding it is what will allow you to know when you have arrived! It takes time and focus, and is hard, but an ideal held will manifest. Taking the time to create a vision can literally save your life. Most goal setting programs forget this and start looking at how to goal set. How to write goals, and they have as much meaning as looking at a foreign language. A picture is worth a 1000 words as is said, and I think that if we grasp a picture of our ideal it will be easier to work towards it. This is my finding, and to get there we need a map. So few people have this kind of map. Vision creation and plucking goals out of it is a surefire way of staying motivated and achieving success. Imagine this there are parts in that vision that you can start making progress on today, in a week, in a month, and in the years to come.
Most of us do not fully see the reality of life. Instead we moan about our problems, our burdens and our difficulties as if life should be easy and a smooth path. I know about this moaning because I have done my share.
In the attempt to simplify life and ease its difficulties, we have resorted to an escapist mentality that preaches “life is what you make it”. As if we have the power to steer its course. In numerous books and motivation material, we are lead to believe that one can have a smooth sailing; we just have to gear our thoughts and energy to becoming successful. Positive thinking they call it.
But this alone does not guarantee anything. I believe discipline is the basic set of tools we require to solve life’s problems. These tools are a means by which we experience the pains of life in such a way as to work them through and solve them, learning and growing in the process.
Discipline then lies in our ability to delay gratification, accepting our responsibilities, dedicate ourselves to the process of life and overall balance in our living. Our other ability to have discipline in the way we handle our finances, resources, manage our time, handle our relationships and how we embrace our character and personalities with the aim of building self discipline. Because as much as I would love to believe otherwise, discipline is the life jacket that can save us from drowning ourselves in the deep sorrows of life.
