Change Your Perceptions...Change Your LifeWritten by Steve Pilkington
Change Your Perception...Change Your LifeThere is no reality, only perception. I've heard it said that if you want to change your life then you have to change way you perceive life. For example, if ten of us are eyewitnesses to an automobile accident and we are ask to recall details, there would be ten slightly different versions of what happened. What we "see" depends on what filters we have operating in our lives. Consider a time in history before Christopher Columbus discovered America. The world was thought to be flat. It was believed that travel was a dangerous thing. If one ventured too far one would drop off edge of world. Columbus discovered world was not flat but round. A paradigm shift occured. The world did not change, perception did. Change perception and everything else changes too. When a paradigm shift occurs our thinking is expanded and thoughts are included that we once believed were impossible or didn't exist. Our horizons are expanded. Assuming above is true I would like to venture forth a premise: "The limitations we experience in life are of our own making." What if world of "inner self" holds potential to nurture, to delight, to create, to be compassionate and loving, to reveal truth, to give you all blessings life has to offer? What if only thing which holds us back is our own thinking and perceptions? Powerful thought...huh? This paradigm shift won't allow us to be a victim but will demand that we take charge of our lives! Change your perceptions and you can change your life! Human power lies in capacity to choose. Unfortunately, cultures we grow up in, by and large, do not teach us how to make true life affirming choices. Instead we are taught not to "rock boat" and to follow status quo. We are trained to follow rules. As we grow up and buy into these ways of thinking then more and more of what constitutes true essense of who and what we are gets erased.

NEVER FORGET A NAME AGAIN by Mike Moore http://motivationalplus.com/cgi/a .cgi?blastersWhen I first began to speak for a living I found it difficult to remember names of people who hired me or those I met during refreshment break or during chit chat session at end of my presentation. I knew I had to do something to improve my memory. How could I continue to speak on relationships and communication and not recall names of people I was relating to and communicating with? After much research, study, and practise my memory improved to point where now people frequently ask how I am able to remember names of so many people. Here are my secrets. Practise them and in no time you too will be able to impress others with your remarkable memory. The most important memory technique is DESIRE. You’ve got to really want to remember a person’s name. Most forgetting is not result of a poor memory, but rather result of a lack of desire to remember in first place. You have only ten seconds to lock a name into your memory. If you don’t lock it in within ten seconds it is gone. Memory Techniques * Pay attention and listen carefully. Listen carefully when someone gives you their name. Pay strict attention. If name is unusual ask person to spell it.. Pay attention to spelling. Use name frequently in conversation. * Repetition Repeat name mentally five or six times after it has been given to you. This alone is often enough to lock name into your memory bank. I have found that if I have quite a few names to recall this strategy doesn’t work as effectively. For one or two names it works well.
