- No Pain No Gain - by Submitted on Dec 02, 2009 from Tom WrightThose words were drummed into me by my father so many times, I long ago stopped counting up the reasons why he said what he said.

Views: 742(1 vote) - Affirmations Part I - by Submitted on Aug 27, 2009 from Tom WrightOne thing I realized about affirmations is how important the way you state them is. For instance, I used to state one of my affirmations with the words "I am rich." That's great, because I knew that somewhere I was rich, and that all I had to do was find the way to manifest this already existing ...
Views: 2385(7 votes) - Affirmations II - by Submitted on Aug 27, 2009 from Tom WrightThere are two types of affirmations. Each type has two parts that make up the whole of it.

Customarily, that repeating would look ...
Views: 2138(5 votes) - Risk Taking And The Quality Of Our Lives - by Submitted on Feb 27, 2008 from Tom WrightI was watching a DVD the other night, The Astronaut Farmer, and it really made me think. As implausible as the actual story was, the myth it portrayed in human terms was of great value. Perhaps the very implausibility of the story was what made the truth behind the myth stand out to begin with. ...
Views: 752 - The Power Of Intention III - by Submitted on Jan 31, 2008 from Tom WrightIn part one of these three articles on the effective use of our energy of intention we discovered what intentions really are.

Views: 766 - The Power Of Intention I - by Submitted on Nov 18, 2007 from Tom WrightThe steps leading to the successful use of powerful processes are sequential, and often seem complex because there can be many of them.

Views: 753 - Results: From Hope To Have - by Submitted on Oct 10, 2007 from Tom WrightEvery path toward achieving any result is a process.

Views: 769 - The Importance Of Play - by Submitted on Sep 21, 2007 from Tom WrightPeople all around the world work too hard. What is too hard? Anything beyond enjoyment is too hard. If you are not enjoying what you are doing, you are working too hard at it. The solution? Play. What is play? It's the "playing, action, or conduct of a game." The game is life, and the conduct ...
Views: 639 - Prosperity - by Submitted on Sep 19, 2007 from Tom WrightAt times it seems our thinking thinks us, but that's only because we've been programmed to react in certain ways. We are most likely upset by what our parents, our peers, or our community taught us to be upset by, and by the way, still teach us to be upset by! They even taught us how to be upset ...
Views: 763 - Money - by Submitted on Sep 11, 2007 from Tom WrightMoney isn't what most people think it is, and that's why they don't have more of it. The one thing you have to shift in your thinking about money is the thought that it's static because it's not. Money is not like rocks, yet most people treat it that way. Money flows and money grows, and if you ...
Views: 943 - Oprah Winfrey - by Submitted on Aug 29, 2007 from Tom WrightYou too can be inspired to live out your life dream, and in the same way as Oprah Winfrey is living out her particular dream.

Views: 1791 - How Anger Makes Me Happy! - by Submitted on Aug 20, 2007 from Tom WrightEverything in our lives is connected. The sun shines, and so flowers grow. The rain falls, and then trees can make leaves so the oxygen they produce can allow us to breathe. These connections are so seamless, we don't have to think about them in order for them to work. They just work. The same ...
Views: 2485 - Stop Winning - by Submitted on Aug 15, 2007 from Tom WrightThe biggest win I ever experienced was on the day I finally realized that life isn't a game you can win, only play.* After that realization, playing every moment with all my heart became infinitely more important than whether I achieved a particular result. Amazingly, and as if in an instant ...
Views: 759 - Trusting Ourselves - by Submitted on Jul 25, 2007 from Tom WrightWe live in a world where information is king. Just go to the Internet and you can access someone, somewhere, who is willing to sell you information about something.

Views: 778 - Attention - by Submitted on Jul 17, 2007 from Tom WrightThere seem to be a certain number of hard wired skills we have, and one of them is our attention.

Views: 633 - Our Humanity - by Submitted on Jul 16, 2007 from Tom WrightSucceeding is like winning a foot race. We cross the finish line, win or lose, with all that we have.

Views: 626 - Examination And Practice - by Submitted on Jul 12, 2007 from Tom WrightSocrates once said that "The unexamined life isn't worth living" but this is only exactly one-half of that equation.

Views: 619 - It's Not Personal - by Submitted on Jul 12, 2007 from Tom WrightWhile our successes and failures, our rejections and acceptances, always seem as if they are directed to us personally, and we certainly do take them that way, most of the time they are not.

Views: 1513 - Colectomies And Faith - by Submitted on May 14, 2007 from Tom WrightWhen I was only twenty-two years old, the doctors sat on the edge of my bed and quietly pronounced that I had two weeks to live.
