Do you ever have times when your stress level saps your health, your stamina, and your capacity to think?
When you are sick, your spouse is sick, your kids are sick, you are buried in work, your co-workers are buried in work, and everyone seems to need more and more and more of you? The demands […]

Today I thought I’d question the very core of morality.
Bob Proctor’s presentation on the Science of Getting Rich is available on Google Video (Hat Tip to Lyman Reed).
One of the things he said struck me as highly controversial. At one point he said, “There is no right and wrong, there is only your perspective of […]

A buttload of people criticized me for making this post. Most said that it was too difficult for people to create a business that generates 10-20K in annual revenue. Is it easy? No. Nothing worth doing is easy, but it can be done. My wife created a home based business with $500.00 cash, working less […]

I am a regular reader of both Success from the Nest and Chris Garrett on New Media.
Chris started a meme and tagged Tony and 29 other of his top commenters. Like Tony, I don’t participate in many memes, simply because they distract me from doing what I want to do with this blog. But this […]

We all seem to have difficulty seeing our own weaknesses and destructive […]

First a quick anecdote:

·The ability to control his thoughts
·Which in turn control his emotions
·His ability to stay in the now […]

Alex suggested that I ask the readers a question each weekend. He felt it could become quite popular. I love the idea, because I value every one of you and I want to learn more about you. I will post questions for readers each Friday. Feel free to post answers in the comments or on […]

Last weekend, I read Freedom, The Courage to be Yourself – Insight for a New Way of Living by Osho.*
Osho’s ideas provoked thoughts about limiting mindsets and where they come from:
Do you believe you are a belief system? Maybe more than one?
Maybe you believe you are a Poor, Democratic, Environmentalist, Buddhist, Feminist.
Maybe you believe you […]

Hans Roslings 2006 talk at TED is one of the most eye opening inspiring messages I’ve seen. I’ve been telling people this for years. With a few exceptions, the world is becoming a better place every day. The sky isn’t falling and the things aren’t going to hell in a hand basket. Could things be […]
