Turn It from Adversarial to Educational

effectively can enhance the experience for the listener.

counselors to give me some ideas for topics of interest to them.

Goal Setting Is All About Timing
Is there anything more maddening than working hard on a goal and running
into constant obstacles that keep us from getting where we want to be?
The past couple of weeks have been exactly like that for me. I have some
big projects I'm working on, and every time I tried to progress to the
next point, something would happen. My computer problems were the
biggest part of it, but also other little obstacles kept me from getting
from point A to point B.

Enlightenment is not just one state
Many people has the notion that enlightenment is one state. Many also
believe that when it is attained, a person is forever in that state.
The following is not a definitive article on this subject. It is just an expression of my own thoughts.
My opinion is that enlightenment is not just one state but is a progressive and gradual establishing of states of consciousness.

Self Employed Is A State Of Mind
Being self employed is typically thought of as working in your own
business, as opposed to working for someone else's business. However,
you can start working for yourself today, even if you are working in
someone else's business. It all a matter of perspective.

Words To Live By?
Watching the news the other day, it occurred to me that people who have
"words to live by" often begin to attack and even kill others. I thought
back to my own angry youth, when I could easily use words to justify
violent thoughts which might have become violent actions. Words are
tools, and yet it seems that they can be more dangerous than gunpowder.

Understanding Your Dreams
The meaning of dreams has been of interest to mankind throughout
history. Dreams come to us in a variety of forms that range from
frightening to erotic. We experience images, sounds, sensations, and
voices in our dreams that we are unable to influence or control. Do our
dreams have special meanings? Are they brought on by incidents that
have affected our lives today or possibly sometime in the past?
You Can Improve Your Relationship
It seems as if creating successful relationships with our significant
others and parenting children are two of the most difficult jobs we face
and yet we get no formal training in either. It's as if people believe
that we are born with an inherent ability to do these two things. Yet,
look around us. In the US, the divorce rate is slightly over 50%! I
don't know anywhere but baseball where a 50% average is a good thing.

The Ultimate Birthright
The key to happiness is both simple and complex. It is the sum total of
more than 2,000 years of philosophy, psychology, speculation, and
discussion about the meanings and sources of happiness. From Aristotle
in 340 B.C. through to the modern thinkers, speakers, and writers of
today, this key to happiness has hardly changed. It is the same for
virtually all men and women in every country and all walks of life. The
key to happiness is this: Dedicate yourself to the development of your
natural talents and abilities by doing what you love to do, and doing it
better and better in the service of a cause that is greater than
yourself.

Why Setting Personal Goals Is Important
A lot of people like to learn how to be successful. They read books,
listen to audio cassettes or even watch videos that tell them how to be
successful in life. However most people fail to apply that knowledge,
and as a result a lot of what they learn is ultimately wasted.
Hypnotic Brain Washing
In 1902 a remarkable book was written by James Allen (1864-1912). The
work was called "as a man thinketh" and it he shows the reader that the
life you are living now is a direct result of the thoughts you had in
the past. He expertly illustrates how the thoughts you are thinking now
are determining the life that you are going to live tomorrow. I am sure
many of you will be aware that the title of Allen's little book is a
direct quote from the biblical passage Proverbs 11:17 which states "as a
man thinketh in his heart, so is he". The literal 21st century
interpretation would be "whatever thoughts you believe to be true and
hold dear to yourself are creating your world, life and personality!"
