UPDATE 9/2/07: This post refers to Steve’s article about how to stop complaining, here is a link to his article about complaining, a good place to start… Complaining
Are you some one who complains? Do you never find the success that want? Steve Pavlina of stevepavlina.com has some idea’s about why. Steve says:
Perhaps the most important step in quitting the habit of complaining is to disconnect the undesirable behavior from your identity. A common mistake chronic complainers make is to self-identify with the negative thoughts running through their minds. <more>
For any of you out there that know me, I am a big believer in “You become what you think about”. The Law of Attraction (popularized recently with the movie “The Secret” ) is a great way to understand the concept. Steve Pavlina is one of my favorite blogs to follow, because he really explores the why’s and the what’s. While I don’t always agree with his interpretation’s, I always have more to think about after reading one of his articles.
It’s an official trailer for the BBC series Planet Earth set to the music of Icelandic band Sigur Ros. And just as the gorgeous documentary-series …
…about life on Earth it’s jaw-droppingly good. Mixing the footage with the beautiful song “Hoppipolla” from the great Icelandic band´s album Takk is an inspired and inspiring choice.
I haven’t watched the documentary (not watching TV very much right now), but I thin I will enjoy it. I think I” check and see if NetFlix has it!
Steve Pavlina writes about the trials and tribulations of living a life of purpose and reconciling that with the “real World”
“… someone wakes up to a higher level of consciousness, but they can’t figure out how to live on purpose and feed themselves at the same time. Such people have a lot of trouble staying connected to higher levels of consciousness while also remaining solidly grounded in the physical world. Many of them get so frustrated with the experience they become depressed and have feelings of wanting to give up…” Steve Pavlina (more)
In the middle of reading this article (it’s kind of long), I forwarded it to a couple friends. When I finished it I forwarded (again) it to many more friends. Steve really hit on some thing I am going through at this very moment. Many of my friends are going throught (or have gone through) as well. Now I know I am not alone, it’s not unusual,a nd thare and there is a way to continue. All thing I “knew” but couldn’t get a grip on.
Enjoy. We’ll probably see more of Steve, here at TekNeoMad.com
