Yes, in 2012 they’ll become Shares instead of lessons. Sharing social capital instead of capitalism 
So now…. Give the GIFT OF TIME TO YOURSELF! As we paradoxically wind down while emotions run high this festive season, remember Continue reading ‘last lesson: From now on they’ll be “Shares”’
If you’re cleaning stuff out to make room for more “stuff” over Christmas, remember less stuff means less stress. Don’t fill the space! Let the energy flow and see how your improved external environment affects your internal environment (health & headspace). If you have less stuff, you don’t need to dust it, find it, fix it, replace it or insure it! Nor do you have to pay it off! Have a couple of “nice toys” but spend your time, effort & money on financial security items (real wealth) instead of trying to look wealthy. This ultimately gives you the freedom to be there for loved ones when it counts, and spend comfortably into the future.
Have this discussion with significant others so you all have a stake in the rewards of “healthy, happy family members who can semi retire in their 40′s”. Yes it’s hard if bad habits have already manifested but the longer you leave it the harder it will be. Use the GFC as an excuse if you have to

For example, spending $100 on a night out is right on the circle but $108 is outside the circle and thus your comfort zone. This drawing relates to all areas of your life (eg physical activity like number of push ups, work duties, love making etc). Now, set your goals just outside the circle (eg to save $x in the next pay cycle).
Is it your partner, your children, your parents, your boss (you may laugh but bosses certainly have some degree of control over your life), a creator of all things or yourself? May I suggest that the last two are the same. Without getting into religion or spirituality, you alone create your life. While you cannot control what happens to you, you can control how you respond to it.
People say I have this energy, this glow and I firmly believe it’s because Continue reading ‘lesson 46: Who do you think your most important relationship is with?’
A recent hospitalisation had me questioning the power of the mind. Why couldn’t I recreate the healing I’d read about in books, instead of having to crawl on the floor because Continue reading ‘lesson 45: don’t spend your health trying to build wealth’
