Is fear holding you back? Why? What are you protecting? Your survival? Fear gets in the way from us moving forward and taking advantage of life. Squash it!

After my week off, I was able to reflect and re-energize. I discovered that most of my stress (before my break) was coming from the focus on things that meant the least to me.

This is my review of Raymond Aaron's Monthly Mentor program. I discuss his program from his book - Double Your Income Doing What You Love. For More info, please visit http://www.aaron.om and http://www.monthlymentor.com.

Here are some of my thoughts after watching the IMAX film - A Beautiful Planet. I also share thoughts on the concept of the 100 Monkey Method. Life has hope!

Have you noticed those people stuck on the poverty line? Have you imagined what that is like for them? Can you see how lucky you are?

Death Dying Careers - What You Can Learn from End of Life. Here is some of what I have learned from my end of life care work.

I came across a person who littered in my beautiful neighborhood. My mind started negatively, and I realized that it was fueled by ideas I had toward the person's age group - millennial.

Marketing yourself is something that you are doing everyday.  You could be building a friendship network, hunting for a new job, or selling your products or services.

Here's a quick recap:

You meet people for the first time in a social environment, you are marketing yourself as a nice kind person, open, and trustworthy.

Let’s say you are a job hunter, you are marketing.

And of course, if you are an entrepreneur, you are selling yourself and your business products or services.

The art of persuasion is involved with all three.

You ask questions to people to learn about them and their challenges.

Listening is incredible powerful when it comes to marketing.

People like to talk, people want to be understood, and when people know that you are listening, it develops trust, and trust builds influence.

I don’t know if people still think negatively about sales, but I sure don’t.

Sales people are very good communicators, and quite frankly, their pretty entertaining.

We based on need, wants, and desire.

The buyer has the ultimate choice in the process.

The buyer is your next boyfriend or girlfriend, The buyer is your future employer, and the buyer is the one that gives you money for the thing that they want from you.

Writing and Talking are great activities to help you get through challenging periods. I’ve practiced many different ways of expressing myself.

Here is a summary of the show:

Writing and talking are great tools for self reflection and discovery.

Especially writing.

We got all this jumbled stuff within in our minds, and we need a platform or a medium to sort it all out.

I think if you are going through a challenge, then this can help you get some of the nasty stuff out of your head, but also help you organize your thinking.

When you were done, say, your small journal is done, then you simply dispose of your writings.

These things are not mementos or keepsakes.

If you have someone that you fully 100% trust, you can sort a lot of things out, as long as the other person is not focusing on giving advice.

The Socratic method is a form of cooperative argumentative dialogue between individuals, based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to draw out ideas and underlying presumptions.

Argument – just talking about opposing ideas, no malice, just respectful communication.

I get this often times where it’s just a conversation about something that is on my mind, and I am having a good conversation, and then new ideas will pop out and then I grab them and say YES that is a good idea, that could be very helpful! It could come from the other person, but I find at times, the idea comes from me.

What do they say, we all have the answers within us.

If you can get some value – and idea or the spirit of the direction of where you must go, then that is all you need.

This latest show discusses practicing suspicion. Can it eventually lead to anxiety?
