You Don’t Actually Know What Your Future Self Wants

From the TED.com YouTube channel: “You are constantly becoming a new person,” says journalist Shankar Vendantam. In a talk full of beautiful storytelling, he explains the profound impact of something he calls the “illusion of continuity” — the belief that our future selves will share the same views, perspectives and hopes as our current selves — and shows how we can more proactively craft the people we are to become.

A Life of Meaning

From the Green Renaissance YouTube channel:

Are you living your light?  Not your life, but your light?

I’m talking about that spark inside that ignites you with passion and purpose. That’s your light.  Everyone is born with their own inner light. Yet so many of us are disconnected from that thing that really lights up our relationships, careers, health, and life.  What covers up that light is all the fears, negative thoughts and past baggage. Our energy becomes dense and heavy as we walk around carrying the weight of the world.

But our light is always there, and it’s available for us to access at any time. Once we recognise that, we can start to let go of those fears that are holding us back.  And we will once again be reconnected to a path filled with purpose and passion. Read more

How to Have an Invincible New Year

This year don’t set hollow goals or inflated ones, ones that will make up for every choice you didn’t make before. That’s like getting out a whip– and calling it a rose.

This year I want you to cultivate a power and presence within you that allows you to choose your good all the time, that takes every circumstance of your life and makes it a crucible that uses all of you. You are worth so much more than one year can offer. You are worth so much more than a few paltry achievements, even if they sound like the moon to you.

That said, a worthy goal or two, can help you realize how powerful you are.  Sometimes we have to want something, in order to spread our great silver wings— or even to discover that we have them. Read more

My Passion Made Me Do It!

I’ve wondered for years about people who wake up every day to a job they dislike, relationships they are less than thrilled with and changes they refuse to make because they simply do not seem to desire more, or better for themselves. You know, the kind of person who seems to be “spinning their wheels,” going nowhere because they don’t seem to have any great destination to drive to.

Do you wonder about these kinds of people too?

I believe that lying just below the surface of what appears to be an almost fruitless existence there is fertile soil just waiting to be cultivated - a future greenhouse for something great to grow. All that is needed is “the seed”. Read more
