Cat lessons
I love cats. They are independent, creative and full of joy. They emanate peace, make us laugh, and are beautiful to look at.
Here’s what we can learn from Simon’s cat cartoon above:
- Find joy in what is directly in front of you. There’s nothing better than taking full pleasure of being in the moment.
- You can make yourself happy. No need to depend on others for your happiness.
- Do what you feel you are guided to do. Whether it is taking a nap or tearing up a box.
- One thing can provide infinite possibilities. There is abundance in everything. Be creative and think “outside the box.”
- Entertainment does not have to cost alot of money.

How to make decisions

Do you find it hard to make decisions?
Some decisions are harder than others. It depends upon the risk that is involved. A decision as to what to order on a menu is much different from whether to have a surgery or not.
Most common in our everyday decision-making are the low to medium risks. Should you spend the money? Should you go on that trip? Should you quit your job? Read the rest of this entry »
Find your passions and the job you are meant to do

Each of us is unique and has a unique set of talents, skills and desires that determine what we are passionate about.
With this uniqueness we are divinely designed to provide some unique service to the world that noone else can offer in our particular way.
Most people can’t decide what they are passionate about because they are trying to pinpoint it to one thing. The truth is that you probably have many interests and having to pick just one is overwhelming. Read the rest of this entry »

Free resources for self-help and inspiration
You don’t always have to spend money to get help. There are some great free resources on the internet that will give you information on topics such as spirituality, self-help and making money.
Here are a few of my favorites:

Relieving depression
There are two roads to take when you are feeling down.
One is to make yourself feel worse by blaming every person and situation in your past, present and future for the way that you feel, including yourself.
What You Can Learn From Jerry Weintraub
“I’ll tell you my biggest talent. When I believe in something, it’s going to get done. When people say, “No,” I don’t hear it. When people say, “That’s a bad idea,” I don’t believe them. When people say, “It won’t happen,” I pretend they’re joking.” – excerpt from the book, When I Stop Talking, You’ll Know I’m Dead by Jerry Weintraub.
I am in the midst of reading this book by Jerry Weintraub subtitled, “useful stories from a very persuasive man”. When I read the excerpt above I knew I wanted to share it on a blogpost.
Things happen when you believe in yourself without a doubt. All that negative stuff you are thinking will prevent things from happening. Read the rest of this entry »
The Power of Making a List

Did you ever hear the phrase, “write it down, make it happen”? Actually it is the title of a book that I read many years ago.
When you work at home sometimes you lack structure in your day. Some days I wake up and I’m not sure what to do, or lack motivation to do things I know that I should do. Read the rest of this entry »

I always said that we create our own job.
If you are the type of person who enjoys the freedom of working for yourself, creating your own schedule and feeling rewarded for your accomplishments then you have to stop looking through the classifieds, sending out resumes and going on interviews. Read the rest of this entry »
Top 5 places to get your work done if you are self-employed
One of the benefits of working for yourself at home and making money online is that you can work from almost anywhere. Since the work entails brainstorming, reading books and research you don’t necessarily have to be in front of a computer. But even if you needed to most places have an internet connection.
Reading ProBlogger on Anna Maria Beach, FL
Here are the top 5 places that I enjoy working:
- The beach. Living 10 minutes from the nearest Florida Gulf Coast beach makes the sun and water my favorite place to “work.” There’s nothing like being surrounded by nature and beauty to put you in a creative mood. Here is where I can read books, jot down thoughts and let my brain relax. That’s how I get my best ideas.
- Coffee shop/cafe. I also get inspired while sitting with a cup of coffee in a shop or cafe. I seem to be able to tune out other things in my life so that I can concentrate, even with other people around me. I can sit with pen and paper, read books and even get a bite to eat. Starbucks and Panera Bread are popular hangouts for the self-employed. Read the rest of this entry »

Did you ever notice that when you are so immersed in something that you just forget about your surroundings?
This is the essence of feeling present. Your energy is very focused and you are totally in the moment. Read the rest of this entry »
Living life as if every day were the weekend
Many people hate Mondays, or waking up on any day of the week for that matter, because they have to go to jobs that they don’t like.
I like Mondays personally because I am not scheduled to be anywhere at a certain time. I can wake up and do whatever I want.
I woke up early and checked my stats of my internet marketing endeavors from the previous day.
Then I made breakfast and had a leisurely cup of coffee. Wrote a blog post, threw in some laundry, and I was ready to go the beach. Read the rest of this entry »
Get a Job
With the way the economy is these days, with people losing their jobs and the scarcity of jobs as a whole, it makes me believe that the Universe is prodding us to look in other directions, to follow our bliss, to leave situations that don’t use our gifts to its fullest potential.
You see more people becoming entrepreneurs, leaving behind the office politics and turning their backs on being chained to a desk.
The truth is that you don’t need a resume or an interview to get a job. Read the rest of this entry »
The Power – a sequel to The Secret
Here is a new book, The Power, which is a sequel to the book, The Secret. The book is set to be released August 17, 2010.
While The Secret explained the Law of Attraction, The Power tells you how you have the power to have anything you want.
I heard about this book on Facebook where they have a fan page that you can join.
There are a plethora of books out that will explain to you the Law of Attraction, spiritual principles and ways to create your own reality. Each new book that comes out seems to rehash it all in a new way.
I say it’s all good. Sometimes just reading or hearing something you already know in a different way, can help you understand it better.
You can order The Power from Amazon.
