What does it mean to live your best life? Is it professional success? Is it balance between work and family? Is it expressing your authentic self? I believe living your best life means living a life of truth, following your purpose and showing your love for those in your life. We all know when we aren’t following our path, when we’ve steered off course as I say.

We are all dealt a deck of cards throughout our lives, sometimes we have a good hand and sometimes we are dealt a not so good hand. It is how we perservere that makes us stand out and succeed. Something that I feel is extremely important when trying to live your best life is putting yourself first. We all have goals and visions for our lives and it is important to keep focused on that goal no matter what obstacles or people come in your way. If you allow others to steer you off course then you aren’t putting yourself and your priorities first. This is not a selfish act at all, it is merely staying focused on what will make you happy.

So you think that meditation is a more effective way of going to sleep than counting sheep? Well for some, that may be true. However, for those who practice meditation with a strong conviction, the benefits of meditation are far greater than being able to sleep fast. Basically, meditation has been designed to help people free their mind from lifes constant conflicts. It promises to give people a deeper sense of relaxation and a higher control of themselves. The benefits of meditation even includes understanding ones self as it is viewed to be a process that will lead people to self-awareness.

People who meditate grow bigger brains than those who don’t. Researchers at Harvard, Yale, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found the first evidence that meditation can alter the physical structure of our brains. Brain scans they conducted reveal that experienced meditators boasted increased thickness in parts of the brain that deal with attention and processing sensory input.

In one area of gray matter, the thickening turns out to be more pronounced in older than in younger people. That’s intriguing because those sections of the human cortex, or thinking cap, normally get thinner as we age.

“Our data suggest that meditation practice can promote cortical plasticity in adults in areas important for cognitive and emotional processing and well-being,” says Sara Lazar, leader of the study and a psychologist at Harvard Medical School. “These findings are consistent with other studies that demonstrated increased thickness of music areas in the brains of musicians, and visual and motor areas in the brains of jugglers. In other words, the structure of an adult brain can change in response to repeated practice.”

I would assume that most people who check out this site, have respect for Tony Robbins. Well, through Google Video, here is a 10 minute excerpt from Mr. Robbins himself!

When we look at a certain object, a painting for example – we won’t be able to appreciate what’s in it, what is painted and what else goes with it if the painting is just an inch away from our face. But if we try to take it a little further, we’ll have a clearer vision of the whole art work.

We reach a point in our life when we are ready for change and a whole bunch of information that will help us unlock our self improvement power. Until then, something can be staring us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self improvement power is when everything got worst. Take the frog principle for example –

Written in 1927 by Dr. Ernest Holmes, Founder of Religious Science and author of “The Science of Mind.” “What I Believe.” These statements reflect the core concepts of the Science of Mind teaching and contain within them Universal Spiritual Principles.
Dr. Carlton Whitehead, stated that were we to read these statements over completely each day, we would begin to experience great changes in our lives almost immediately.

WHAT I BELIEVE by Dr. Ernest Holmes

I believe in God, the Living Spirit Almighty; one, indestructible, absolute and self-existent cause. This One manifests Itself in and through all creation but is not absorbed by Its creation. The manifest universe is the body of God; it is the logical and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God.

Strange as it may seem to you, there exists a mystic power that is able to transform your life so thoroughly, so radically, so completely, that when the process is completed your own friends would hardly recognize you, and, in fact, you would scarcely be able to recognize yourself. You would sit down and ask yourself: “Can I really be the man or woman that I vaguely remember, who went about under my name six months or six years ago? Was I really that person? Could that person have possibly been me?” And the truth will be that while in one sense you are indeed the same person, yet in another sense you will be someone utterly different.

This mystic but intensely real force can pick you up today, now, from the midst of failure, ruin, misery, despair – and in the twinkling of an eye, as Paul said, solve your problems, smooth out your difficulties, cut you free from any entanglements, and place you clear, safe, and happy upon the highroad of freedom and opportunity.

At various points in your life you will come to a crossroads where you just aren’t sure what to believe. If you’re a very objective and/or scientific person, your preference may be to hold back from making a decision until you have more evidence about which path is the “correct” one. Of course the problem with that approach is that often the evidence of a clear winner never arrives.

Suppose you wonder about whether or not it’s possible for humans to develop certain psychic/intuitive abilities, such as the ability to receive spiritual guidance. Your religious and spiritual beliefs, your upbringing, and your personal experience may all provide input as to which side you lean towards. But from a purely objective perspective, you may not have much evidence one way or the other.
