Less than a week until this year is over. Time to reflect and look forward! The best of “Great Stuff I Have Found”. Enjoy!

 

Happier                                                                                                                             “You are one hundred and ten years old. A time machine has just been invented, and you are selected as one of the first people to use it. The inventor, a scientist from NASA, tells you that you will be transported back to the day when, as it happens, you first read Happier. You, with the wisdom of having lived and experienced life, have fifteen minutes to spend with your younger and less experienced self. What do you say when you meet? What advice do you give yourself?” ~ Tal Ben-Shahar from Happier

Money Matters
…there is nothing right or wrong about money…It is just that if money does not stay in your pockets and goes into your head, misery will come.                                                     Money Matters

 

9 Qualities Of Truly Confident People                                                               Confidence is not bravado, or swagger, or an overt pretense of bravery. Confidence is not some bold or brash air of self-belief directed at others.                                               Confidence is quiet: It is a natural expression of ability, expertise, and self-regard.

Shawn Achor: The happy secret to better work
We believe that we should work to be happy, but could that be backwards? In this fast-moving and entertaining talk from TEDxBloomington, psychologist Shawn Achor argues that … well. see for yourself :-); another “must see”!

 

Pause                                                                                                                          Pausing allows you to take a beat – to take a breath in your life. As everybody else is rushing around like a lunatic out there, I dare you to do the opposite.                           Pause

Great Last Minute Gift – For Someone You Care (Which Includes Yourself)

Not sure what gift to buy?

I’d like to recommend you this book:

The inspirational #1 Bestseller by John P. Strelecky. Now translated into twenty-one languages and read by more than a million readers worldwide. In a small cafe at a location so remote it sits in the middle of the middle of nowhere, John–a man in a hurry–is at a crossroads. Intent only on refueling before moving along on his road trip, he finds sustenance of an entirely different kind. In addition to the specials of the day, the cafe menu lists three questions all diners are encourage to consider.

Why are you here?

Do you fear death?

Are you fulfilled?

With this food for thought and the guidance of three people he meets at the cafe, John embarks on a journey of self-discovery that takes him from the executive suites of the advertising world to the surf of Hawaii’s coastline. Along the way he discovers a new way to look at life, himself, and just how much you can learn from a green sea turtle.

(Bonus tip: also might make a great gift for yourself)

Enjoy the festive season!

The yardstick of success is not measured by fame and wealth;
it is measured by your level of understanding of
who you are, why you are here
and where are you going from here. (Tulshi Sen)

It is probably the most hectic time of the year (and the most commercialized one as well, for that matter). Slow down, you (most likely) move too fast. It is time to absorb some wisdom and put things in perspective. Enjoy!

 

The Material and the Spiritual                                                                                       How can you separate the material and the spiritual? What we need to change is not the content of our life.                                                                                                                We need to change the context of our life  

Working with the Obstacles in Your Path 
you should work with the obstacles instead of avoiding them – you learn from them.

Worst one ever
If you’re not willing to get your ‘worst one ever’ out of the way, how will you possibly do better than that?
