A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle
“The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation, but your thoughts about it.” Eckhart Tolle
The sub-tittle captures the essence of the message in this book and that is to awaken by bringing around a shift in consciousness. It is an extension upon his work from his earlier book The Power of Now. I have written a book review on this also that may be worth a read – essentially it was a spiritual insight into the benefits that can come by being present in the moment.
In this book I was captured from the start. I actually begin with the audio book but found the narration rather bland and knew that I would absorb much more if I read the book.
“I’d rather regret the things that I’ve done than regret the things that I haven’t done.” Lucille Ball
In this quick thought, I wish only to inspire you to live without regret. What does that mean? It means taking action towards all those things you desire, to have and do what you truly want in life, and never delaying the process.
Write your book and reach the end of your days knowing that you did everything you could towards that which you desired. The biggest fear for me is getting to the end not knowing what could have been through lack of trying.
Make the most of the time you have. Step out of your comfort zone and do what you want to do, take action and make it happen. No regrets!
Peace, passion & purpose…

Information Overload: How to become mindful of what you consume, and increase your effectiveness
“People today are in danger of drowning in information; but, because they have been taught that information is useful, they are more willing to drown than they need be. If they could handle information, they would not have to drown at all.” Idris Shah
In todays episode I discuss the information age and how it can cause us to be less effective. I share with you the five reasons why we consume information and five tips on how to better navigate through through the overwhelming amount of information we face daily to help you remain effective and still go on to accomplish all that you desire.
Certainly there are great benefits that come from living in this era. We have access to a greater range of information than ever before that allows us to be more informed, educate and used to make better deacons in life.

Anthony is master trainer and course creator in the field of memory. He is a best selling author, professor, trainer, blogger and more recently podcaster. He has written over 40 books on memory methods, skills and effectiveness and is the founder of Magnetic Memory Method.
Magnetic memory method is a systematic 21st century approach to memory improvement from memorising languages, people’s names, music, poetry, and much more which according to Anthony is a elegant, easy, effective and fun way to memory improvement.
Is then of obvious reason that we discuss all things memory, including what Norepinephrine is, how improved memory helps in our journey for creating passionate and purposeful lives, improved reading techniques, what mnemonics are and how they work, and why sleep is important. I am tested also using one of Anthony’s techniques. Its a fun and enlightening show that I hope you can benefit from. Peace, passion and purpose.
“With great power comes great responsibility.”
Poke the Box: When Was the Last Time You Did Something for the First Time? by Seth Godin
“The job isn’t to catch up to the status quo; the job is to invent the status quo.”
Seth inspires me so much in life to really live truthfully to myself and live a life that I desire to lead. This book is another kick in the bum, motivational & inspiring push to further challenge what I thought life meant and what I do with it.
We are not all going to be, as he describes it, the initiator, but certainly it seems to be a major strength in this day and age. It relates to both the aspiring success of an individual, and the continual improvement, development and innovation behind successful companies.
What’s that one thing you’ll do today?
“The quickest way to do many things is to do one thing at a time.” Christopher Westra
There is a great book by Gary Keller called The ONE Thing
, which is my inspiration for todays thought.Basically as you keep pushing forward on your mission in life, on living life with greater passion and purpose you need to take action. The problem is that often we have so many things to do.
To tackle this problem you should focus on just one thing. What is the biggest and best thing you can do today that will get you closer to completing the project and closer to living your dreams.
By focusing on just one thing you will get it done and you will feel greater at the end of each day as you step closer and closer to living your ideal life.
Enjoy and let me know your thoughts. Peace, passion and purpose.

“Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, don’t let anyone limit your dreams.” Donovan Bailey
In this Monday show I discuss what it means to really follow your passions. I share my personal story of how I was stuck in life, and how, by taking steps to live closer aligned with my passions, I started to break free.
When you discover things you are passionate about and become so obsessed with them you raise the bar in your life, you amplify all other aspects of your life, and life begins to hold more meaning and significance once again.
