I even shared it with readers of this blog.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It was called the &lt;a href="http://www.brainev.com/"&gt;Brain Evolution System&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;And the program was developed by self-development leader &lt;a href="http://support.brainev.com/misc/lee-benson"&gt;Lee Benson&lt;/a&gt;, and brainwave pioneer &lt;a href="http://support.brainev.com/misc/michael-kelley"&gt;Michael Kelley&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I loved the system so much, that in December 2007, I made moves to take over development and publicity of the program - and purchased a majority stake in the company for upward of $400,000.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Because this 6-CD program has the ability to change lives.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Just listen to each CD for 30 minutes a day - and you'll set your brainwaves into a state of peak performance that will make you &lt;u&gt;unbeatable&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;It's being RAVED about by industry leaders such as Mark Joyner (of Simpleology.com) and David Riklan (owner of the #1 self-development website, SelfGrowth.com).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Now, after years of behind-the-scenes development - the full program has FINALLY launched to the public.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Now, most people reading this will know that I rarely make direct recommendations.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I only ever back the very REAL self-development tools that I believe make a difference.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Brain Evolution System is one of the few tools that has the ability to truly change how you live your life, forever.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So, I invite you to discover more, online at:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gobrainev.com/"&gt;http://www.gobrainev.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;It won't cost you a penny to try it out.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Over the next few days, I'd like to post a few messages to tell you more about the technology - then I'll get back to all of my normal posts.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But as I spend so much of my time working with this stuff, I'd really like to share some of my exciting findings with you.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;See you again soon! :)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="wlWriterSmartContent" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:42fbc16b-af72-46af-9d0f-e18eed4eeb4f" style="padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SayBolH5GtI/AAAAAAAAARc/v7W2wf6h7Qc/DSC01039-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SayBpavAuLI/AAAAAAAAARg/kHfYioBPNTA/DSC01039.png?imgmax=800" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34789368-5359643458125306128?l=www.karlblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/KarlBlog/~3/816qxIXd1EI/rare-recommendation.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Karl)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.karlblog.com/2009/07/rare-recommendation.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34789368.post-7489520613478199888</guid><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2009 22:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-04T23:18:00.265+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">recommendations</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">inspiration</category><title>10 New Experiences</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I don't know about you but I absolutely love experiencing new stuff!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Just the thought of it fills me with excitement, anticipation and a heightened sense of being alive.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;After all, enjoying new experiences is part of life's gift.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So, today, why not choose to do something completely new?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Let's roll out just a few basic suggestions:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.

The Greek philosopher &lt;a href="http://www.philosophypages.com/ph/aris.htm"&gt;Aristotle&lt;/a&gt; said:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Jumping to the 20th century, Jean Piaget, the Swiss philosopher and natural scientist well known for his work studying children, said:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;Education, for most people, means trying to lead the child to resemble the typical adult of his society, but for me, education means making creators... You have to make inventors, innovators, not conformists.&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Teacher comments can have a major impact on a child's self-esteem. Children desperately need someone to believe in their worth and encourage them to try their best. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Jerry Moe is the National Director of Children's Programs at the Betty Ford Center. He is an author, lecturer and trainer on issues for young children from addicted families.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;At one of his lectures he shared his childhood, where his parents were alcoholics and not really there to help him grow into a confident person. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As an adolescent he started to show delinquent behavior, when one day a substitute teacher called him to one side and said...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;You are too good to get in trouble. I see a lovable child underneath your tough exterior. You are a valuable human being. I know you can make a contribution to this world&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;These words were so powerful that they turned Jerry's life around and he began to believe he was indeed a worthwhile person.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Isn't that amazing?!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So, as you go about your day, think about how you use your words.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What will you say to inspire those you meet?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I will leave you with these inspiring words from an unknown author:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Choose your words, for they become actions. Understand your actions, for they become habits. Study your habits, for they will become your character. Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny.&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="wlWriterSmartContent" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:b49aa2b7-6e5d-41a4-a0e1-54855f2d6b66" style="padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; float: none; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SdPoIDgysgI/AAAAAAAAAWw/Yr0-WqWDcaI/DCP_0155-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SdPoJI05EDI/AAAAAAAAAW0/mlBXdal8WUc/DCP_0155%5B4%5D.png?imgmax=800" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34789368-6390250450082920742?l=www.karlblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/KarlBlog/~3/0rysHBfaOeE/power-of-words.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Karl)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.karlblog.com/2009/07/power-of-words.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34789368.post-1011853170707780345</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2009 19:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-01T21:21:52.483+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ramblings</category><title>I Need Your Help!</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bit of a different post, today.

I don't want to move directly into the centre, but a short taxi drive away.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Preferably a local district. Think: chic apartments, friendly community, and good stores within walking distance.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Second question:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I'm looking for my ideal life-partner.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Preferably someone exotic, living in England...&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Actually&lt;/em&gt;, I'll save that one for another time ;)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ANSWERS on a postcard to karl AT karlmoore.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:f179ce60-37c2-4c8e-ac21-af946fb0ae27" class="wlWriterSmartContent"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/Sku_ERc2AKI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/thdqhobl8KE/3649412725_bdd30dbb4d-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/Sku_Fc1pUKI/AAAAAAAAAYU/fdn_GaS7d5U/3649412725_bdd30dbb4d.png?imgmax=800" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34789368-1011853170707780345?l=www.karlblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/KarlBlog/~3/y16HkMaxt0w/i-need-your-help.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Karl)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">3</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.karlblog.com/2009/07/i-need-your-help.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34789368.post-2128342758943598703</guid><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2009 22:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-30T23:14:01.094+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">self-development</category><title>Pay It Forward</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When was the last time you offered a &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.actsofkindness.org/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;random act of kindness&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In this uncertain climate, many people retreat, perhaps fearful for their security and way of life.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;As a result, they forget those simple acts of kindness that can make a real difference in this world. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you're currently feeling that you don't have enough abundance of your own to give, surrender that thought!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;What you give doesn't have to cost you anything but simple generosity of the soul.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But giving ... whether it's a little time, energy, expertise, thoughtfulness, and even money ... helps to move the energy round.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;When you pay it forward and do something random to help someone else, you begin to release yourself and others from the insecurity trap.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;In doing so, the world becomes more abundant and prosperous.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, give a little today.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Please keep those random acts of kindness moving.

Are you waiting for it to come into your life?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If so, then you need to know that happiness isn't something you wait for until all the elements in your life are in place. Happiness is a choice that you have right now!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trust me ... it's true!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;You could say I know a thing or two about happiness.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Apart from being a pretty happy soul, last month I released my new book - &lt;a href="http://www.the18rules.com"&gt;The 18 Rules of Happiness&lt;/a&gt; - and have helped publish numerous courses &lt;a href="http://www.selfhelpstreet.com/"&gt;on the subject&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In particular, I know that happiness is always inside us.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;It is an innate quality of the human spirit and is present no matter what is going on in the world around us. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;One key way of raising your happiness levels is to create happiness for other people.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;When you share a smile or bring laughter into someone else's day, you also increase the joy within you. Try it!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, don't wait until tomorrow. Choose &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.happiness.fm/freedom/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;happiness now&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; and enjoy life. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Have a wonderful fun-filled day!&lt;/p&gt;

or &lt;a href="http://www.quantumcookbook.com/physics/"&gt;creating abundance&lt;/a&gt; or simply &lt;a href="http://www.breakhabits.net/habits/"&gt;breaking bad habits&lt;/a&gt;, your mindset adapts and takes on board what you read and learn much more quickly.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In fact, regular reading and learning from a range of &lt;a href="http://www.selfdevelopmentforum.com"&gt;self-development&lt;/a&gt; courses and books can help you keep on track so that you're constantly evolving and adapting to changes in your life in a positive and fulfilling way!&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;No, I don't mean your shopping list or even your daily to-do list. ;-)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;I'm talking about THE List ... of all the experiences you'd like to have before you pass over into the great blue yonder.&amp;#160; &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We all have an idea of the experiences that we'd like to have. Perhaps you'd like to explore the Great Pyramids in Egypt or go swimming with dolphins or try western horse riding in Nevada, and so on. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yet, how often do you sit and dream and say &amp;quot;one day&amp;quot;?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Okay, some experiences take planning but you should start the process by making a list of all the things you'd like to experience.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Once you have this list, you can start checking off each experience as you live it - and even add more exciting experiences to the list as you go along!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But, it all needs to start with The List!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;What's more, you need to keep your list before you each day so that it's a constant prompt of all those experiences that you have lined up!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I was fortunate to experience the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_(astronomy)"&gt;Northern Lights&lt;/a&gt; earlier this year... one of those awe-inspiring events that were on MY List. It was a truly magical experience!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, if you don't have a List, create one today.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In fact, do post a comment here about some of the experiences on your list. Set yourself a target date as to when you aim to achieve them.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Remember, we're not here for a long time - we're here for a good time. So make the most of every moment!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Go out there ... and EXPERIENCE!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Enjoy your day!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="wlWriterSmartContent" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:6c806303-3ec5-4d0e-9d4c-a087c1939f55" style="padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SdPmEa4IZyI/AAAAAAAAAWM/2-PI40iEpgo/CIMG2216-769341-8x6%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SdPmFWckA_I/AAAAAAAAAWQ/fyWCx7SwwD8/CIMG2216-769341%5B1%5D.png?imgmax=800" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34789368-5428174839025508518?l=www.karlblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/KarlBlog/~3/oVWO3D6BEL4/what-on-your-list.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Karl)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.karlblog.com/2009/06/what-on-your-list.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34789368.post-8450682891854380126</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Jun 2009 22:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-22T23:05:02.706+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">self-development</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">inspiration</category><title>Acknowledge Your Ego</title><description>&lt;p&gt;How's your ego today?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;What ego?&amp;quot; you might well ask defensively.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;You see, most people don't like acknowledging that they have an ego because it's the side of them that shouts, screams, and craves attention.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Our egos make us act and do things that we can often abhor in other people.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And it's our egos that we must acknowledge and keep in check.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Think back over the last week or so and, unless you're a saint, you will recognize some event or situation that has caused your ego to surface.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The ego often gives rise to the bad in us.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Perhaps you've said something that hurt a friend or loved one. Perhaps it's something that you didn't say! Perhaps you've acted foolishly as a result of your ego? &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The ego is often what makes us dwell on past situations, making it seem ten times worse. The ego can make us obsess to a point where our mood is impacted. Ego can even make us act in a way that could be perceived as childish, thoughtless, selfish or just plain mean!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yes, the ego has a lot to answer for!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Fortunately, you can control your ego. In doing so, you can release the angst that the ego often causes. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is what you have to do ...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The next time you feel your emotions rise to boiling point, ask yourself: Is this my ego? Am I feeling this way because my ego is threatened in some way? &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Once you acknowledge your ego's involvement, you can move quickly on from a situation without further concern and without it causing any trouble. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's simple but ultimately effective! Give it a try!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="wlWriterSmartContent" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:a7f2e486-bfac-4ffb-ad82-2ea002af0ae3" style="padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SdPll777tkI/AAAAAAAAAWE/2CiD8uIsyXo/DSC00059-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SdPlniwr0OI/AAAAAAAAAWI/q5fXwiZUPMk/DSC00059.png?imgmax=800" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34789368-8450682891854380126?l=www.karlblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/KarlBlog/~3/__ilnJaO5Ho/acknowledge-your-ego.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Karl)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.karlblog.com/2009/06/acknowledge-your-ego.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34789368.post-5374640830406926274</guid><pubDate>Sat, 20 Jun 2009 22:04:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-20T23:04:02.919+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">self-development</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">recommendations</category><title>Change Your Brain Programming</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;A Very Good Day to you All!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Today, I have another question for you.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I'd like to ask ... Are you running the right program?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;No, I'm not talking about computers here, although there are similarities. What I'm asking is, are you running the right program in your mind ... a way of thinking that is beneficial in your day-to-day life?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Think about it for a moment. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If life isn't going as you'd like ... if you're low on self-confidence ... if you have irrational fears ... if your mind stops you from living the dream ... then the chances are that you're not running the right program.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Just like a computer, if you run a program, which conflicts with the core operating system, then you're going to have problems. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;More often, that program will freeze and you just won't get very far.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well, it's like that in life too. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The complex mind has a tendency to run on old, habitual programs that aren't always beneficial. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fortunately, there is something you can do about it!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If you suspect that you're not running the right program, there is a fantastic package that can address these issues!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's called &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nlpsecret.com/nlp/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The NLP Secret&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) has been around for some time and is a powerful technique. It is used by therapists and self-development gurus&amp;#160; alike to bring about an incredible life transformation.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Whether you have a fear of public speaking or have low self-confidence or have some other problem that is holding you back from reaching your full potential, you'll find that this system is highly effective at changing the way you think. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In fact, old, habitual mind scripts disintegrate to make way for the new, more positive program.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Many people have used The NLP Secret with life-changing results.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So, if you believe that your current mind program is holding you back from living a full and meaningful life, try &lt;a href="http://www.nlpsecret.com/nlp/"&gt;The NLP Secret&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I'm sure you'll be impressed with the results!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="wlWriterSmartContent" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:fc2ae63a-d9ce-4284-84df-e9122ac6d602" style="padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SdPlO_VEOwI/AAAAAAAAAV8/zCR81pbqUnc/CIMG2071-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SdPlP0TA6fI/AAAAAAAAAWA/6AzDs69OHlU/CIMG2071.png?imgmax=800" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34789368-5374640830406926274?l=www.karlblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/KarlBlog/~3/ZFvQQapebZY/change-your-brain-programming.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Karl)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.karlblog.com/2009/06/change-your-brain-programming.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34789368.post-1463351121977771775</guid><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2009 22:03:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-19T16:46:12.381+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">self-development</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">inspiration</category><title>Choose Your Outlook</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I hope that in spite of all the doom and gloom in the world that you're feeling happy and optimistic.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;It's true that there's no escaping the fact that we're living in challenging times.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;With all the continued media talk of recession and financial crisis, you can't help but feel a little despondent, concerned and even depressed. And yet, I often think that all this negative talk makes us spiral even further down into despair.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The fact is, negativity feeds on negativity.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Now, more than ever before, we need lots of positive vibes to lift our spirits so that we can see a way out of the darkness. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Yes, these challenges are real but each generation has faced challenges one way or another and one thing we should learn from that is that it doesn't help matters to endlessly moan about them.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We need positive thoughts, positive intentions, and positive action. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If each of us becomes a ray of light - a bright beacon of positive energy - then we can move forward. We can make a difference.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, today, turn off the negative news and tune into your positive mood.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Be a ray of light and radiate feel-good vibes. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's a much better outlook to choose!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="wlWriterSmartContent" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:04932eec-2569-4c01-adfd-e04fc59ca6c9" style="padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SdPk1KLx3CI/AAAAAAAAAV0/kowXHmrdUq0/CIMG0201-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SdPk1wJ9-EI/AAAAAAAAAV4/xD1g2eTrp4E/CIMG0201.png?imgmax=800" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34789368-1463351121977771775?l=www.karlblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/KarlBlog/~3/EXdwjEBCDws/choose-your-outlook.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Karl)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.karlblog.com/2009/06/choose-your-outlook.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34789368.post-1779629979681716557</guid><pubDate>Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:58:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-16T22:58:01.045+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">self-development</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">recommendations</category><title>Have You Placed Your Order?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Good day to you all!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I wonder, have you placed your orders today?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;You know ... for all the wonderful things that you want from life?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Manifesting what you want is easier than you think and Cosmic Ordering is already working for many people!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Now, I wouldn't be surprised if you're thinking that this whole cosmic ordering is complete malarkey. How can you possibly place an order to the cosmos and expect your wishes to come true?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well, be prepared to be surprised!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The Law of Attraction really does work (just not in the way most people think).

And, you can only find out when you start embracing the concept and practice into your life!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I can highly recommend the following courses:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.quantumcookbook.com/physics/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Quantum Cookbook&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; and &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.advancedcosmicordering.com/cosmicordering/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Advanced Cosmic Ordering&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;These two courses complement each other and will help you start gaining results!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Give it a try!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;What do you have to lose?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Creating abundance is fun and, what's more, it'll change the way you think about life.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="wlWriterSmartContent" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:6e4c3840-4c52-4d5c-9756-bb2a8aa44997" style="padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SdPkVSaptNI/AAAAAAAAAVs/5iyumrQy92c/SL381031-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SdPkWJRibeI/AAAAAAAAAVw/OISI4YaDNaA/SL381031.png?imgmax=800" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34789368-1779629979681716557?l=www.karlblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/KarlBlog/~3/85TCHN55pnc/have-you-placed-your-order.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Karl)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.karlblog.com/2009/06/have-you-placed-your-order.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34789368.post-5586778149214819894</guid><pubDate>Sun, 14 Jun 2009 21:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-14T22:56:00.416+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">self-development</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">inspiration</category><title>What's Your Favourite Colour?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Good day all!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you follow my blog on a regular basis, you will know that my favorite color is yellow.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;It's such a vibrant, happy, sunny color that wearing anything yellow brings happiness into my day.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Naturally, I try to wear my favorite color whenever I can.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I also hope that by wearing something yellow it also passes on a little brightness and sunshine into the lives of those I meet along the way.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But, what makes all the different colors? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Well, color is created with light and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum"&gt;electromagnetic energy&lt;/a&gt;. There are seven colors on the visible spectrum, and these are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Each color is measured in wavelengths and frequencies. Red, for example, has a higher wavelength but a lower frequency whereas violet, at the top of the spectrum, has a lower wavelength and a higher frequency.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Color really is fascinating and Color Therapists note the importance of color in our lives. Often, the colors we are most drawn to are the colors that we need to maintain a sense of well-being.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yes, color really is that significant. It can, and does, make a difference to how we think and feel. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The color red, for example, is considered to be lively and energizing. Blue is a calming, soothing color. Whereas green is considered to be a very healing, nurturing color.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Instinctively, we often know what colors suit us.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, what's your favorite color?&amp;#160; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Are you wearing your favorite color today? &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Why not experiment and see how wearing a different colored tie, shirt or dress makes you feel!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="wlWriterSmartContent" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:dc4bd36e-c857-4dff-bc35-cf09918b9322" style="padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SdPjbCpwTZI/AAAAAAAAAVY/mBdeTSWjrWU/n889420261_6274895_7128910-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SdPjcO910SI/AAAAAAAAAVc/ZgDAeHmsfNQ/n889420261_6274895_7128910.png?imgmax=800" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34789368-5586778149214819894?l=www.karlblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/KarlBlog/~3/vn_dYnX1Ris/what-your-favourite-colour.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Karl)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.karlblog.com/2009/06/what-your-favourite-colour.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34789368.post-536839382557811682</guid><pubDate>Fri, 12 Jun 2009 21:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-12T22:54:01.231+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">self-development</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">inspiration</category><title>A Little Random Positivity</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Good morning all!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Today, I have a small task for you...&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's fun, it'll make you smile and, what's more, it could make a difference to someone's life.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Do you want to take part?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Yes? Well, good for you!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First, grab a pen and a piece of paper.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;All you have to do is write a positive message on the piece of paper. Something like ...&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;You're beautiful and YOU make the world a special place just by being you!&amp;quot; ... or...&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Believe in yourself! You are a wonderful person with so much potential!&amp;quot; ... or...&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Live your dreams and be happy!&amp;quot; OR &amp;quot;The world lights up when you smile!&amp;quot; OR whatever inspires you.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The message must be positive and bring a sense of joy to the recipient.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Now, go out today and leave your message where someone - anyone - will find it. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Be careful where you place the message. Don't litter the place! Instead, perhaps leave the message inside a library book or in a shopping basket or on a notice board or on a cafe table.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spreading just a little hope and happiness in this way can really make someone's day feel extra special.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Why not give it a try today! Just one message is all it takes to start spreading those positive vibes!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="wlWriterSmartContent" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:91acf1c7-3ce3-4f73-abc3-66a35068362c" style="padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SdPjkmodTpI/AAAAAAAAAVg/lcaK4m4vpwA/DSC00382-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="" rel="thumbnail"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_wjVYWw1513w/SdPjmQy6esI/AAAAAAAAAVk/qOgTv3XMYNw/DSC00382.png?imgmax=800" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34789368-536839382557811682?l=www.karlblog.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/KarlBlog/~3/srDHKZN5zHs/little-random-positivity.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Karl)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.karlblog.com/2009/06/little-random-positivity.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34789368.post-5045920705002549630</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2009 08:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-11T09:56:32.882+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">self-development</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">recommendations</category><title>Oops! - Hypnosis Link</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, I told you about a discount voucher for Instant-Hypnosis.com.

Well, actually it is but when you have convinced yourself that the alternative is more frightening, stopping and letting go appears to be much more difficult than it is.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The point to remember is that YOU always have a CHOICE!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;No matter what is happening in your life, you definitely have a choice!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;You can choose how you react to every situation or event in your life. You can choose to see that the pain and stress of holding on to an unhealthy situation is actually creating a miserable life. Sometimes, you have to stop and let go no matter what you think may lie ahead.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;What's more, when you make a conscious decision to change a situation, you will feel your life lighten. &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, stop and let go.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Release your grip on an unhealthy situation. Focus on what will bring you happiness and healthy experiences.
