Hos 4:6  Destruction has overtaken my people because they have no knowledge; because you have given up knowledge, I will give you up, so that you will be no priest to me, because you have not kept in mind the law of your God, I will not keep your children in my memory.

Majority of people kill themselves with a fork and dig their own graves with their teeth. What do I mean by this we do not normally know what we eat and how this affect how bodies, by not being knowledgeable about the foods we consume we do not only harm ourselves by causing all sorts of illnesses to befall us like high cholesterol, high/low blood pressure, diabetes, cardiac diseases and list go on.

God has provided a wide range of effective antidotes and / or drugs to us in the form of plants, fruits or vegetables throughout the landscape around us. Yes he created everything we need to live a healthy, happier, longer and blessed life.

“You are what you eat, and you are what you do not eat!” If you have the knowledge and understanding of what to eat, it will help you to make conscience effort to eat and stay healthy or to get healed. It is amazing how one can get stuck into habits, especially bad habits. I often see people (including myself) getting stuck into bad eating habits, especially in a busy work environment, I often find myself not taking time to eat a proper meal and just get something on the go for the sake of saving time. We not realise until it is too late how our bad eating habits affect our health, just consider that approximately 41% of all adults are diagnosed with either diabetes or high cholesterol this very significant statistics. It is therefore very important that we know what to eat to improve our lives.

Start living a better life today. Take time today before you take the next bite to know what you eating and to know that it is good for you.

Here are 5 easy tips for personal and spiritual growth which you can start making a daily habit after reading this article…

Never Assume You Know it All

The first personal and spiritual growth habit, and probably the most important one, is the habit of humility. Believing that you “already know enough” when it comes to personal development is the first sign that your personal and spiritual growth has stagnated. The people who grow the most spiritually and personally are those who always assume that there is an overwhelming majority of things they don’t know in comparison to what they already do.

Balance Optimism with Critical Thinking

There’s a lot of talk in the realm of personal development about positive thinking and optimism. But there is such a thing as being so optimistic that you fail to cultivate the skill of critical thinking. No matter how hard you work or how much you know, you’re always going to need to learn more and the thing which normally reminds me of this is failure. So while it’s good to be optimistic, always remember that you have to cultivate the skill of recognizing the negative things around you so that you can learn from them.

Look for the Meaning in Nature

No matter how many books are written about personal and spiritual growth, most thought provoking enemies are contained within nature. The writer C.S. Lewis once said that he believed the majority of people’s problems are caused by the fact that they are so disconnected with the rest of creation. Just think about how much time you spend inside surrounded by man-made inventions and technologies, in comparison to the amazing works of nature.

If you just start spending more time outside or even studying the way that things in nature work, you’ll find an enormous collection of lessons which can be applied to your personal development.

Take Care of Your Body

The writers of the New Testament claim that their body is a temple, which if you think about it is much more than just a religious statement. When your body is out of shape you lack the physical energy, the willpower and the focus to concentrate on anything more than just the regular mundane tasks of life. But when your body is in good health and you are full of energy and have the ability to focus for long periods of time, it’s much easier to devote your energies and attention towards your own personal and spiritual growth.

Have a Central Purpose

While personal and spiritual growth is one of the most rewarding things life has to offer, it’s also possible to get stuck in the trap of personal development for personal development’s sake…but with no central purpose towards which to apply it. Having a central purpose for your life will keep you from being distracted by the many things which would hinder your personal growth, and it gives you the energy and focus to keep going even when things seem hopeless.

So those are my 5 tips for personal and spiritual growth. I hope you at least find a few of them helpful and that you can start applying them toward your own personal development.

 So how do you connect…?

In order to connect you have to make a conscious decision to initiate and invest in others. It seems in life we work around unconscious and are almost acting like machines not being aware of yourself and others around you. In order have a fulfilled and healthy relationship we to change our mind-set.

Valuing People

You have to care about people and expect the best of people. First assume that people intentions are good unless they prove themselves otherwise. Start by valuing people’s successes and not by their failures. Give people your friendship rather than requesting them their friendships.

Understanding People

This is not always the easiest thing to do. In order to start your steps in understanding people you have to know the following:

- People are insecure, give them confidence

- People want to feel special, compliment them on their positive attributes

- People desire to have a better tomorrow, give them hope that it will be a better day tomorrow.

- People are selfish, speak to their needs first in order to open a door.

- People want to be successful, help them towards their goals.

Add value to others

- Look for strengths in others and promote these strengths

- Always encourage rather than discouraging people with positive things.

Respect yourself and others

Everybody wants to be respected, in order to respect others you have to respect yourself first. Note that respects are not just given but earned. It is like honourable men which give up their lives to fight the cause of the greater good of men, people respect those who put things bigger themselves before themselves. Imagine giving up your freedom for the freedom of others.

Put your emotions aside…

One of the most difficult things for all humans is put our emotions aside and think about our anger, our hurts and our disappointments. Do talk about your feelings and emotions but do not let this be the obstacle to ensure that your relationships grow.

I hope that this few pointers will provide you with a good foundation to start your relationships moving into a positive direction.

Start Living A Sensational Life!

(This simple philosophy has been developed for thousands of years from the days of the Greeks and is still used today)

Know Yourself

The first step to learn how to build self-confidence just be yourself is to learn more about who you really are. In most cases, low self-confidence is the result of giving too much emphasis on the opinions of others and allows external circumstances to determine the value of your car. Begin to find ways to beat these distractions and begin to learn what actually happens in your head. A good way to do is write your thoughts and ask yourself what is really important to you.

The more you do this, the more we realize that building self-esteem is a process of self-knowledge than it is a process of trying to become someone else. It ‘also a good idea to start learning how to search your body works, how the mind works, and all within the complex, this will help you develop a greater appreciate who you are, and restore a sense of wonder and amazement for yourself .

You will also find that the more we understand, the easier it will be able to monitor the second phase of construction of self-esteem.

Control Yourself

The secret to knowing how to build self-confidence is really nothing more than learning to concentrate and control the thoughts and internal dialogue. This requires self-control, which can only be developed deliberately training … just like you can develop the muscles in the gym training. However, the reasons many people never develop self-control, because they consider it as a restriction of their freedom, but it is not unthinkable. The more you can control your thoughts and your actions; you are freer to use the ideas and actions to what you really want in life.

In fact, the better you become your own control is easiest for you to build confidence in their abilities and make and keep commitments to yourself and others. This will help you pass the final stage of self-esteem.

Give Yourself

As you begin to learn more about yourself and learn to control yourself, instinctively start looking for a way to use your new sense of confidence to help others. This is because the need for contribution is a spiritual need to give someone a sense of purpose and reinforces their understanding of their own value. Think about it, most people who are poor are also used to remove other by something called “self-rejection.” But finding an object that allows you to contribute to other people helps you get out of yourself and stop focusing on their own insecurity and deprivation.

The more you practice these three steps, rather than being the best person … the person you have known in your heart you. Then it will become an inspiration to others that your life becomes a representation of the principles of how to build self-confidence.

You are unique

Just think about it there is about 6.6 billion people on earth and you are the only “YOU” no one else are “EXACTLY” the same as you are, this makes you “VERY” unique.

If this is impossible, just think of all the women out there who have been able to attract the man of her dreams and gave him a few months. If you are interested in knowing the secret of how to attract a man is one of the most important messages you’ll ever read.

First, Start Talking With Everyone

Talk to everyone you can when you go somewhere you want men, men, you are not interested in women, the elderly, children … all. This may not sound like direct advice on how to attract a man, but what he will do is show that you are confident and socially assertive. It’s really great, because men are attracted to confidence, just like you. So if you make a habit of talking to people, even if just to say hello, you can bet that you will attract the attention a lot more people … and that includes men.

See, believe it or not, people are really afraid to approach women … are afraid of rejection, as you are. But they desperately want to approach women, and if you can prove that you are convincing and socially friendly, automatically make men more likely to approach you. Then it’s just a matter of filtering through and finds a man really wants to be.

Playing Hard To Get The Man

Have you ever wondered why men hate it so much that women play hard to get? This is because it works – men know it works and they get angry with women because it attracts them and makes them fall madly in love with a woman. Of course, this is not advice from people, because most people think that you should not “play” to get his commitment. Listen, everyone plays in life to get what they want. In fact, life is but a long series of negotiations and persuasion.

We get jobs and careers through persuasion, we are negotiating with friends of our parents, our children … so it’s good to play a little ‘cat and mouse with your man and convince him to take you first before he loose his shot. The best way to play hard to get to find something you’re passionate about and commit to it. Making a man to compete in for place in your life, and men love a challenge, at least a real man, will do just that.

Of course, as you do this, it is important to understand the basic principle of how to attract a man …

Slow is Fast With Men

Most women do not understand how to attract a man and make him commit, because they are very eager to do so. But the more in a hurry you are in to make a man commit, the greater is his fear of commitment will be. This is because men the idea that they are not in control and that will lead them to resist the control…. Even at the expense of themselves. Yes, it’s silly, but women have their own oddities, so there is no sense in judging men to be that way.

Instead, when you find a man you are really crazy about; do not put pressure on him to refrain from any direct engagement. Instead, make him compete for his place in your life and to keep a few close male friends around you. This raises the urgency of her, and sees you win a prize. He must hurry to take you before someone else does, or until he loses his shot.

As simple as these sounds, once you start putting them all in practice you will soon see that the way to attract a man is easy once you have the right approach.

Now, go on and get him!

Shortly after introducing the self-made billionaire Bob Proctor “The Secret” the law of attraction and said that everything in your life are attracted into your life as a result of the things you think. Whether you plan to what you want or what you do not want, you’re creating your own reality by virtue of the predominating thoughts in your consciousness.”

The purpose of this review is “The Secret” is to help you decide for yourself whether or not to buy and use this film or any of these materials and if it worth your investing your time and money.

The Cast and Message of “The Secret”

Probably the most credible thing of the “The Secret” is that some of the brightest minds in personal development has decided to take part in it. Among them: Bob Proctor, author of “You We Born Rich”, Jack Canfield, author of “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books, James Arthur Ray, Joe Vitale, John Asaraf and dozens of others who have demonstrated the power law of attraction through the results in their lives. All these people say the same secret that has made them successful (the Law of Attraction) has been used by historical figures like Leonardo da Vinci, Ludwig van Beethoven, Edison, Einstein, JD Rockefeller, Dale Carnegie and many more.

Incredible as it may seem, all you need to do is to study the life and writing of these historical figures, and you will see that each held a common belief: that we could manipulate the results we attract into our lives by helping to direct our thoughts toward what we want. All of them also believed that there was a connection in the universe, which led us to be connected to everything in life. Thus, by focusing your thoughts on something you give your mind and body at the same frequency and start to attract the energies that are compatible with what you think.

Obviously, the list of people who held this belief and the things they carried in their lives, it is impossible to ignore the law’s power of attraction and the power of our thoughts on our lives.

Be Cautious of…

Although the principles taught in the movie “The Secret” is valuable, it does not tell the whole truth. Simply take three steps: ask, believe and receive. But if you study the life in a great achievers (alive and dead), even those who believed in the Law of Attraction, you will find that they all have one thing in common. They are all committed to seeking the will of careful planning, persistence and a burning desire to still get what they want. I do not see anywhere that this is “ask, believe, receive” instructions, which appear in this film.

My guess is that people who participated in “The Secret” have the knowledge that it is much more complicated than that, and nothing happens if you put action and perseverance to achieve it. As long as you keep that in mind, I think the secret would be a great addition to your library and will help you keep your thoughts focused on what you want when you’re busy working your plan of action to achieve it. I wish you good luck, prosperity and health, and you are able to find a way to get the big secret to work for you.

Thank you for reading my views on the secret.

How the Law of Attraction Works

The thing which confuses many people about the Law of Attraction (aka “The Secret”) is how you could attract something into your life simply by thinking about it…and you can’t. But it’s been scientifically proven that your thoughts have a significant impact on the electrical vibration of your nervous system and that they therefore influence your emotional states and the actions which flow out of it. So if you’re constantly thinking about things that you want, and if the vision and your mind is specific enough it will send a message to the nerves within your muscles and prepare them for action.

But the Law of attraction also creates a level of awareness in your mind which causes you to begin having flashes of inspiration and “hunches” which will guide you in the direction of what you are thinking about. Have you ever noticed how people who know exactly what they want are consistently working towards it and being presented with opportunities to have it? This has nothing to do with luck, fate or divine intervention. It’s simply their mind being “tuned in” to what they want and influencing their actions and intuition in such a way that they eventually get what they think about.

So how can you start using the Law of Attraction to influence your mind and body in such a way?

“ Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well .” Mahatma Gandhi

First, Have a Burning Desire.

One of the simplest and most effective pieces of advice in regard to getting what you want is having a burning desire to see it accomplished. People who know exactly what they want meditate on it until it becomes a burning are bound to figure out how to get it eventually. They are more likely to recognize opportunities to pursue the object of their desire when those opportunities arise. But most important, they are quicker to get back up and reapply themselves when they fail, which helps them to leverage even their failures as learning opportunities.

So the first step towards using the Law of Attraction effectively is having a burning desire and a specific goal, whether it be to manifest financial prosperity (with an exact figure in mind), better health (again, with an exact healthy goal or ideal weight) or any other kind of goal which you can turn into a burning desire.

“Hold a picture of yourself long and steadily enough in your mind’s eye, and you will be drawn toward it.”  Napoleon Hill

Second, Lifestyle Design and Planning.

The second step to using the Secret to manifest prosperity, health or romance is to begin building your lifestyle around the object of your desire. This means that you do whatever you can to make it the most prevalent thought in your mind. You can use a vision board, meditation, journaling or spoken affirmations. Use whatever you need to create a vividly imagined experience of you already in possession of the object of your desire. Most important, begin developing a specific plan for how you are going to achieve it and get to work on that plan right away, whether you’re ready or not.

As simple as these may sound, the results are to be proof enough once you get started applying these two steps. The more you do this, the more you’ll be convinced of the power practicality of the Law of Attraction.

“You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands – your own.” Mark Victor Hansen

Meditation

Meditation shows us that we see with our minds, what ever we can perceive with our minds we can achieve it. The Law of Attraction need to be meditated on in order to affect the subconscious mind. Understanding and practicing the Law of Meditation gives you the confidence that says, “This situation is a real challenge, but I know that if I just meditate in the Word and see this problem the way The Creator sees it, then I will know the truth and be free. I will have wisdom and be able to make a decision to follow the path which is His will. Meditating in the Word will deal with this the way it should be dealt with. This problem is nothing more than miracle-in-the-making!”

“People who ask confidently get more than those who are hesitant and uncertain. When you’ve figured out what you want t o ask for, do it with certainty, boldness and confidence.” Jack Canfield

I hope that this article will and has contributed to your personal development. The Law of Attraction requires commitment and discipline. One can experience fulfillment in all areas of your life, such as starting over if your fail, improving your self esteem and be more confident, be successful in your relationship.

Start Living a Sensational Life!

So after spending over a decade studying personal development, I’ve decided to provide these seven easy self-improvement tips as a way of giving back and helping people like you to achieve greater success in their life.

Daily Journal
If you study the great achievers of history, you’ll find that almost all of them were avid writers. Keeping a daily journal helps you to clarify your thoughts and develop a sense of personal awareness which will give you the ability to reinvent yourself on a moment’s notice and help you to develop unshakable self-confidence.

Meditation
This is probably the most commonly neglected of these seven self-improvement tips …it’s also one of the most important. Meditation is the most effective means of reducing stress and clearing out your mind from “junk thoughts” which lead to worry and anxiety. Daily meditation also helps to slow your heart rate and regulate your digestion among dozens of other health benefits.

It also makes your sleep more restful and helps your body to recover faster. Basically, the practice of meditation is the one thing which can make the other six of these self-improvement tips effective.

Expecting to Win
People who achieve great things in life aren’t normally anymore intelligent or capable than the average person. But they do one thing different which many intelligent people have a hard time doing: they expect to win, even before they know how they’re going to do it.

Having expectations doesn’t require knowledge of how those expectations are going to be, and if you start from a foundation of bold expectancy, the rest is just a matter of perseverance.

Writing Goals and Plans of Actions
The habit of writing down clear and specific personal goals and plans of action for achieving those goals is a must if you want to accomplish anything. This is because writing down your goals clarifies them and begins building an expectation in your mind. Also, having written plans gives you a specific set of actions to take each day towards the realization of your long term goals .
Be Well Rounded
The process of personal development must be holistic in nature. Every single area of your life affects every other area either directly or indirectly. If your relationships are out of order, it’s going to affect your health and your financial life. If your health is out of order it’s going to start your personal growth and make it more difficult for you to find the energy to achieve any of your goals.

So no matter what you’re trying to achieve, being well rounded is the key to living a balanced life and for building the physical stamina, the emotional fortitude, the financial security and the social support system required in order to achieve great things.

Positive Affirmations
Positive affirmations have the power to change your inner dialogue which can literally change your personality, your character, your actions and your life. For best results, write one positive affirmation for each of the key areas of your life (health, relationships, finances and career) and make a commitment to rehearsing them out loud twice daily. For example a positive affirmation you could give yourself would be: “I am strong and confident when I speak before others, and they are interested in everything I say.” If you say this enough times, you really will start to believe it.

Teach to Learn
This is the most important of any of the seven self-improvement tips. The more you teach other people the principles of personal growth, the clearer your understanding will be of them and the more effective you’ll be able to make them in your own life. Even if you have no one to teach, you can write about the principles of personal development and how they are helping you.

You can even begin by writing a short paragraph about each of these 7 simple self-improvement tips. Write each one as if you were teaching the principles to someone else and your understanding of them will deepen.

Much success with your personal development !
