  – by Jim Carrey Let go of the need to be something for somebody. Say no when you don't want to. Don't feel obligated to please everyone. Don't chase selfies—choose kindness and friendliness instead. Selfies freeze the world; they stop life. You want to put on a big show, but all you're doing is giving people a false sense of relevance on social media. I see people posting about their greatness on Facebook while showing zero genuine interest in others—and eventually, they even disable comments. It's a predictable cycle: narcissism, arrogance, and then the fall. Everyone talks about depression these days. But what's the real difference between depression and sadness? Sadness arises from something that happened—or didn't happen—to you. Depression, on the other hand, comes from a deeper place: "I don't want to be this character anymore." Your body and mind are crying out for deep rest—rest from the fictional identity you built for others. People ...

  If you can't suicide, make the task smaller. If you make the task small enough, you will never fail to progress. But that can be pretty humiliating. Everything starts with the first step. The smaller the step, the faster you can take the next step—and the faster you progress. The faster you can change your direction and change your life, without frustration and even with fun. When you recover from a severe disease, you need time and patience to do the same things again. The Keith Jarrett Example For instance, you want to play piano and improvise like Keith Jarrett in his famous Köln Concert—but you've never played piano before. If you have such a huge goal, you will fail. Then every hour you spend learning piano feels like a waste of time. If you don't believe me, try playing on a keyboard. You don't even have to try playing on a broken Bösendorfer piano, like Keith Jarrett did in his Köln Concert. How to Fail Again If you have already failed three times or more, it...

  How to Protect Your Energy, Your Time, and Your Sanity Introduction: The Art of Not Reacting We are constantly attacked, offended, and provoked—by people, by situations, by the endless noise of modern life. What do we do? Most people react. They explode. They explain. They defend. They justify. And they lose. Machiavelli understood something that most people never learn: Never react. Never explain. Just ignore. Osho said it differently: "Let the dogs bark. It is their nature." The strategies below will save you time, energy, and sanity—and give you a more fulfilling life. Here are Machiavelli's 7 Laws of Psychological Power. Law 1: Your Attention Is Your Most Valuable Asset Without your attention, time is worthless. Your focus makes your time valuable. If you use your attention to distract yourself—on dramas, bad news, or meaningless content—your time is lost forever. The Rule: Focus only on what matters most to you. Let everything else go. The Question to Ask Constantl...

  Bob Proctor was a big fan and a disciple of Earl Nighingale….  Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway. When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself. Your world is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind. Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use. Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality. Be it good or bad. Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us. Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and ...

  Scientists made a stunning discovery – one that could change how we think about cancer treatment. For years, researchers studied chemotherapy patients, trying to figure out: Why do some people heal, while others don't? They examined everything: Cell structures Diet and lifestyle Family history and genetics Previous illnesses Age and gender Despite years of data, they found no common link among patients who survived – until they looked at the gut. The Answer: One Missing Bacterium The breakthrough came down to a single microbe: Akkermansia muciniphila. If this bacterium was present in the patient's gut, recovery was far more likely. If it was missing, the patient was much more likely to die from cancer. Akkermansia is the first bacterium science has identified that directly supports the body's ability to fight cancer. Where Does Akkermansia Grow? This beneficial bacterium naturally lives in the human colon, but its population depends heavily on what you eat. Today, you can...

  When we clear our shame and guilt, we increase our deserve level. You can't manifest something meaningful if you don't feel worthy of it. Clear out your shame and guilt, and your deserve level goes up. If you set goals that have high value for you, you increase your deserve level. If you do lower-level things that don't fit your agenda, or resent other people's values, or feel shame or guilt, you hold yourself back from doing the great things you want to do—and deserve to do. Take the time to clear your shame and guilt. And say: Hey, I deserve that. Be willing to do what is necessary to accomplish what you want. Nothing in this world is free—so do those things with the feeling that you deserve them. How to Clear Shame and Guilt Shame is when you assume you have done—or not done—something that caused you drawbacks, negativity, or more loss than gain. Guilt is when you have done something that led to a negative outcome for another person. Both lead to symptoms in your l...
