Everybody has problems but nobody realizes the truth about them. Once you get this, you will never have another problem - ever. If you're interested in living a problem free life, keep reading.
First, realize we are problem-making beings.
It appears to be the human condition to find problems, create them, and/or attract them. Even when you resolve a problem, you almost instantly fill the gap with another one. Almost nobody knows this. Yet it's the key to living a problem free life. You have to understand that as one problem disappears, another bubbles up to take its place. That's how the human mind works. Some people like drama more than others, but we all seem to attract problems simply out of human habit. It's our current nature. It's our program.
Second, you can transcend all problems with detachment.
To paraphrase Buddha, life is suffering, but once you realize that life is suffering, you no longer have to suffer. You are free. At that point you realize that life is a theatrical experience and you are just playing your part in the script of life. You are detached. You are, in many respects, awakened. This second insight is just a deeper understanding of the first one. Yes, we are problem-making beings but you can also detach from the experience of the problems. You can witness them. You can watch them as if watching a soap opera on television.
Third, problems are due to perspective.
A problem to one person may be a blessing to another person. It depends on your intention, which directs your perspective. So where is the real problem? Is there even a problem at all? Dr. Hew Len, my coauthor on the book Zero Limits, often asks, "Have you ever noticed that when you have a problem, you are there?" He means that the problem is yours -- yours in perception and yours in responsibility. Clear the beliefs in you that see it as a problem and the problem is gone. Poof!
The above insights work for any problem you can name.
Got money problems?
It's only a problem because you aren't accepting what you have and are focused on what you want with a feeling of lack or even desperation. You need to be grateful for what you have now and want more. When you do that with awareness and detachment, the issue isn't a problem, it's just your next activity. When you take the edge off your stress, you can more clearly see your next move.
Got relationship problems?
It's the same scenario. It's only a problem because of your perspective that it is a problem. From a higher view, it's the next scene in the play of life. When you can take a deep breath, and realize this is just your next moment, you can more easily decide what to do. In fact, with clarity, there's not even a decision. You know what to do and just do it.
To recap, the larger insight here is to realize that as a human you will always have "problems." Always. But if you understand and accept that fact, you are then free from all problems and can lead an authentic problem free life.
You got a problem with that?
PS -- I'm not dismissing taking action to resolve problems, only urging you to have a more awakened perspective toward them. Getting clear helps resolve problems and understanding the nature of them is part of breaking free. For more info on this, consider my Secret to Attracting Money program or of course The Awakening Course.

Work Less & Achieve More
We all have the same amount of time any given day, so why do some of us get so much more done that others? The same is true for professionals - some of us get the fundamentals in place so fast while others struggle to get past the very first hurdles. That's a question I get asked often, why are others getting deals already and I'm still waiting for my first one?
There isn't just a single road to success which anyone or everyone could follow and reach their dreams. It would be nice, but it's just not the way it works. On the bright side, we should all know that <a href="http://www.realestatemoney.com/millionaire-mindset-mental-tips-for-success/">success</a> leaves behind clues; especially when you pay attention to others who are experiencing the type of success you want in your life.
One of the biggest areas that people fall short again and again is with time management. Those who learn quickly to manage their time often see success much faster than others. Time management is important for both the <a href="http://www.realestatemoney.com/leveraging-other-peoples-money-for-real-estate-investing/">investors</a> who work at it like a full time job as well as those who are trying to fit it in as a side business. The better you learn to manage your time and stay on task; the faster you're going to see the fruits of your labor.
Time management comes in a lot of different ways; and I think none are as important as staying organized. Keep your focus each day by making lists of what you need to get accomplished. My personal suggestion is to carry around a simple notebook and make your lists in there. Those who have met me probably already know that I'm against using electronic devices for planning … even though I'm plenty tech savvy. A list in your notebook isn't going to distract you with a new email, text message, or phone call. The more you stay focused, the better!
Staying organized and keeping your focus on the tasks you have to accomplish are the two main areas that people need to improve. With some very basic steps - and a little more self control - getting these areas of your professional life in order will skyrocket your results. I've seen it happen dozens of times; and it can happen the same just for you. Don't be a pushover to the rest of the world with your time, block out segments and protect that time because it translates to money!
What we covered in this article is just a small part of time management that will help you be more productive. If you find the discipline to implement the above, you will get more done, feel better about yourself, and have more free time for fun!Your time is your greatest asset! Remember that!

If You Don't Use Truth You'll Lose It
Have you ever noticed that when you discover a new truth you want to share with everybody. You find it somewhat frustrating that most people do not get nearly as excited about the truth as you do. If you experience enough rejection about the truth you yourself will begin to question it. If you do not apply the truth into your own life After time you will forget all about it. By contrast if you continue to study more about what you have discovered your knowledge and the benefits of that truth will continue to grow.
In the book of Matthew chapter 13 you'll read the parable of the sower. This is about the farmer as he was hand broadcasting the seeds into the field he had prepared. Some of the seeds fell on the pathway and birds ate them. Some of them fell on shallow rocky ground and they sprang up rapidly but had no root system and in the sunshine they withered and died. Others fell among thorns and weeds and were eventually choked out by them. But the seeds that fell on good ground produce between 30 and 100 fold. Christ's disciples asked Him why he lectured in parables. Christ explained the parable to the disciples and showed them that the different soils were like different conditions of the mind. The seeds that were sown represented truth. He went on to say that there were many who had eyes but couldn't see and ears but couldn't hear. He said that those who applied the truth would acquire more truth but those who did nothing with it would lose what they had.
This principle is true in every aspect of our lives. If we apply ourselves to learning the laws of human physiology we will reap the benefits of a healthy life. If we learn that there is something that we are doing it is not good for us, but we enjoy it, and choose to continue doing it we will lose the benefit that that truth would have for us.
The overwhelming problem that most of us face today is what is truth. In the area of health alone there are many apparently conflicting truths. Are we open-minded enough to entertain other people's beliefs. The greatest enemy of excellence is good enough. In my lifestyle coaching I find that some people are willing to change their lifestyle if it will help them achieve a specific goal. There are others that are unwilling to give up destructive habits. They are looking for a magic bullet that will allow them to continue in an unhealthy behavior. One of the problems of our modern mindset is that we look for the one cause of our problem. To achieve success there are usually several steps involved. We didn't get to our present situation by one choice. Many times when we make a bad choice we followed up with another bad choice trying to correct it.
The vast majority of the people that I talk to in lifestyle coaching have a pretty fair idea of the things in their life that require some modification. The biggest reason that we do not change them is because there is something else that is even more important to us. Most people will achieve what is most important to them. There are times that if you truly want to achieve a goal you'll have to change what you eat, you may have to change who your friends are, you may have to change what you do for entertainment, and may even have to change the way you dress.
Many of us are entrenched in false beliefs that make it very very difficult to turn our life around. Food, politics, religion, and family are incredibly powerful influences in our lives. Not surprisingly it is in these areas that many of us face our most difficult challenges.

How to Increase Talent
Copyright (c) 2014 Joe Vitale
I of course know who Lance Armstrong is. I have yet to meet him, even though we live in the same area of Texas and we've both been on the cover of Austin Fit magazine. He came to life for me when I read Daniel Coyle's New York Times bestselling book, Lance Armstrong's War. While I'm not a cyclist, the book was so well written that I was compelled to read every word of it. When I heard Coyle had a new book coming out, I pre-ordered it without a thought.
It arrived a few days ago. It's terrific. The Talent Code reveals the true source of greatness. And it's not what you might think. As the author's site (www.thetalentcode.com) for the book says…
What is the secret of talent? How do we unlock it?
Journalist and New York Times bestselling author Daniel Coyle visited nine of the world's greatest talent hotbeds -- tiny places that produce huge amounts of talent, from a small music camp in upstate New York to an elementary school in California to the baseball fields of the Caribbean.
He found that there's a pattern common to all of them -- certain methods of training, motivation, and coaching. This pattern, which has to do with the fundamental mechanisms through which the brain acquires skill, gives us a new way to think about talent -- as well as new tools with which we can unlock our own talents and those of our kids.
The Talent Code may be the most stimulating, inspiring and informative book I've read so far this year. I keep reading it, underlying parts, making notes, and reflecting. It helps explain many defining moments in my own life. For example.
Back in 1969 I failed high school geometry. Got an 'F' in it. I had to retake the course the next year. The funny thing is, the next year I got straight 'A's in geometry. How did I go from F to A? I had a different teacher. The second instructor - a Mr. Ron Posey, I remember - had me follow a strict discipline, right down to using a particular notebook, putting protectors around the 3-holes in the pages, handwriting meticulously, and more. It drove some kids nuts. It helped me get straight A's. According to Coyle, that second instructor was a brilliant coach intuitively using The Talent Code's secrets.
Back in 1972, when I learned how to fly a single engine plane, I went through a ten-week course that was the hardest thing I had done (and have yet to do) in my entire life. I either flew a plane every day or was in ground school studying every day, five days a week, all day long. I thought the curriculum was intense. Overwhelming even. It wasn't until I read Coyle's book that I realized Kent State Univeristy's flight school was teaching me exactly the way I needed to learn: by stretching me beyond what I thought was doable.
But how does all of this work to increase talent?
What was my geometry teacher and that flight school doing to turn an average (below average, really) kid into a straight A student and a licensed private pilot?
Coyle's riveting book explains the three things needed to increase talent and go toward greatness. One essential is "the spark" of inspiration. Something has to ignite desire.
That's what happened in 1970 when I met Rod Serling, creator of the famous sci-fi TV series, The Twilight Zone. I realized Serling was human and if he could be a famous writer, than I could too. I then put myself through a self-study program that contained well more than 10,000 hours of writing, reading, writing and more reading; of being rejected for years, and yet trying again and again (and again and again). My first book wasn't published until 1984. The spark of inspiration was Rod Serling. This "spark" is what begins a huge, deep transformation. It's the beginning to unlocking talent.
The second ingredient needed is a particular kind of practice.
When I was learning how to play the harmonica some thirty years ago, I nearly threw the instrument against the wall. While it's easy to just blow through a harp and get some music out of it, learning how to blow through single holes, bend notes, and control your breathing and the resulting music is a challenge. But I kept practicing. I practiced every day at 7 pm on the front porch of an abandoned house. After an entire year, I could play like a relatively good blues harpist. But it took practice that involved struggle, errors, correction, and more practice. That's part of the secret to increasing talent.
The third secret is great coaching.
I'm currently taking private tutoring lessons with Berlitz instructors to learn Spanish, for my speaking engagement in Lima, Peru on June 4th. While I have books, courses, CDs and more on how to speak Spanish, there's nothing like having a personal coach there to guide my learning. When I failed geometry the first time but excelled at it the second time, it was due to a better coach. I learned to pilot a plane in a short amount of time due to great teachers. These days I have my own coaching program for people wanting to improve or breakthrough. It's needed for noteworthy success. In fact, it's a requirement.
Coyle's book is essential reading for the hypnotic writing, the stories, the insights and more. At the heart of it is the news that a substance in the brain called myelin is what makes people great.
But the greater news is anyone -- even you and me -- can develop any talent by following the three elements Coyle describes. Doing so will build myelin. As the subtitle of his book says, "Greatness isn't born. It's grown."
The Talent Code may just be "the spark" needed to turn wishful dreamers into talented greats that in the future Daniel Coyle may write about -- just as he's already done for a living legend, Lance Armstrong.

Picking Up Girls Can Be Easier Than You Expect With New Websites
There has been a huge increase in the number of blogs, youtube channels, websites, forums and more in regards to being able to pickup the girl of your dreams, or in some cases the girls of your dreams. The internet destinations have been getting more popular lately, and more and more seem to be popping up. Although there is typically money involved in some of the services, many are free open forums, or youtube channels that naturally do not charge to watch their videos. SimplePickup is one of the best youtube channels for this, although they rarely make new videos anymore as they've progressed into a paid service that is supposed to help you pickup any girl that you want or see in public.
Being able to have the confidence and the skill to pickup any girl you see in public that you want to talk to can be a great skill to have. How many times have you had opportunities to potentially meet a new person but it was avoided due to nervousness, shyness, or other psychological issues that enabled you to talk yourself out of doing it. Imagine what you could have potentially experienced had you gone for it, it may have ended up being a person you would be in a relationship with and could potentially change your life. You never know what the particular situation may end up leading to, so you should always be willing to have the confidence and skills to at least try, and probably make it happen. If you think about it, even if you fail you probably won't feel bad, and you won't spend the rest of your time wondering what would have happened had you actually gone up to her. It really is a no lose situation. You are going to get denied occasionally, but you just sort of have
to play the numbers and keep going.
As you can see there is a lot that could potentially go into the game of picking up girls and meeting that special someone. A lot of it depends on what your particular objectives are and what your goals are, but there is always more that can be learned and no one can do without improvement of any kind. Don't be so stubborn you believe you have zero room for improvement. There are countless books, websites, blogs, and more for you to check out to improve your skills.
