  • What is the Ultimate Lifestyle?

    What is the Ultimate Lifestyle?

    [ad_1]

    Since the mission of this newsletter is to help you define,

    carve out, and live your own Ultimate Lifestyle, I figured I

    should devote some space to laying a proper foundation for

    doing that.

    Before you can hit a target, you need to know where it is!

    So, to begin, let’s answer the question:

    What is The Ultimate Lifestyle?

    First of all, it’s different for different people. There are

    no rules or formulas. For some people, it means a lot of

    money, lots of “stuff,” a fast-paced and “jet-set” sort of

    lifestyle. For others, it means a very simple, slow-paced

    life that focuses on service to others. And for others, it’s

    every possible scenario in between these two “extremes.”

    There’s no right or wrong lifestyle, or good or bad

    lifestyle.

    There’s just what works for you — and it will likely change

    over time. I know it has for me.

    No matter how you end up defining Ultimate Lifestyle for

    yourself, now and in the future, there are 8 components that

    must be considered:

    1) Income Streams

    To live your Ultimate Lifestyle, you must have income

    streams flowing that allow you to pay your bills and finance

    all the “extras” you prefer. To me, the ultimate target to

    shoot for in this arena is to have income streams flowing

    whether you “show up” for “work” or not, so you can choose

    what you want to show up for (even if it continues to be

    what you call “work” or a “job.”).

    That’s what I’ve been able to achieve by applying my

    Invisible Path/11th Element strategies combined with direct

    marketing on and off the Internet.

    Having income streams flowing whether you show up or now

    seems like “pie in the sky” to many people, but it’s

    actually very attainable in today’s world. You’ll learn more

    about how to do it in future issues.

    2) Emotions and Beliefs

    Many people fail to create their Ultimate Lifestyle because

    they have emotional blocks, issues, or beliefs (what I call

    “p.s’s.” or “master biography files”) that hold them back.

    Other people have produced extraordinary results and could

    live their Ultimate Lifestyle, but their blocks, issues or

    beliefs prevent them from doing it — or fully enjoying it.

    Therefore, living The Ultimate Lifestyle must include having

    access to resources and inner skills that allow you to

    uncover and remove, heal, or release any blocks, issues or

    beliefs that hold you back. You’ll learn more about how to

    do that in future issues.

    3) Fulfillment and Satisfaction

    Whether you have a 9-5 job and career, you’re a full-time

    mom, or whatever you do with your time, a big part of living

    The Ultimate Lifestyle means getting as much fulfillment and

    satisfaction from what you spend your time on as possible.

    Many people don’t ask for this, don’t focus on this, and

    therefore don’t get it. You must make it part of your

    intention and focus!

    4) Living Environment

    How and where do you want to live? In the mountains? In the

    big city? On the water? Multiple homes? Do you want to live

    in a big home or a small home? Is privacy or seeing

    beautiful scenery out your windows important to you? Do you

    like modern furnishings, antiques, or an eclectic mix?

    Living the Ultimate Lifestyle means asking these questions

    and having a home base that nourishes you at a very deep

    level. My family recently moved to Charlottesville, Virginia

    in pursuit of the nourishing living environment we craved —

    and we got it, even better than we expected!

    5) Relationships

    What good is having income streams, a healthy emotional

    life, empowering belief systems, a great living environment,

    and a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction from how you

    spend you time if you’re alone (and don’t want to be) or

    your relationships with significant others (parents,

    siblings, kids, associates, etc.) are a mess? Believe me, I

    know about this one from long personal experience (before

    meeting my wife, Cecily).

    Therefore, living The Ultimate Lifestyle must include having

    access to resources and inner skills that allow you to

    attract, build, and maintain healthy relationships.

    6) Health

    Again, what good is having income streams, a healthy

    emotional life, empowering belief systems, a great living

    environment, fulfillment and satisfaction, and great

    relationships if you have health problems that drag your

    quality of life into the gutter?

    Dr. Robert Lindberg says, “We spend most of our life gaining

    wealth and we then spend most of our wealth on gaining back

    our health.”

    Living The Ultimate Lifestyle means having access to

    knowledge, resources, and skills that allow you to get

    healthy, stay healthy, and quickly resolve difficulties if

    and when they arise. I discussed some of the resources I use

    for this in previous issues, and will continue to share them

    in future issues,

    7) Time

    You can have income streams, a healthy emotional life,

    empowering belief systems, a great living environment,

    fulfillment and satisfaction, great relationships and health

    and if you don’t have any time to do what you love, to

    follow your non-work passions, or to truly enjoy anything,

    what’s the point? I know many people who could absolutely be

    living their Ultimate Lifestyle, but they choose to work too

    much, to the detriment of their quality of life. That’s too

    bad — to have the choice and ability and not do it.

    8) Wealth Building, Management, and Responsibility

    The final component to living The Ultimate Lifestyle is

    having systems in place that allow you to use your income

    streams to create wealth (as you define it), manage it, grow

    it, protect it, structure your financial and business

    affairs for maximum efficiency and personal benefit, and

    find ways of contributing and giving back (if that’s

    important to you, which it is to me and my wife).

    I’ll be writing a follow up article, called “The fuel that drives the Ultimate Lifestyle” shortly.

  • When You're Back on the Dating Scene

    When You're Back on the Dating Scene

    [ad_1]

    With so many relationships breaking down and such a high percentage of marriages ending in divorce it's no wonder that many of us will, at some point, end up back on the dating scene.

    We may be older and wiser, a little battered and bruised, but often, once we're ready to date again, thinking about rejoining the fray, we'll be harboring the fantasy of meeting someone special. Back on the dating scene means being optimistic, hopeful and looking forward to finding love again.

    What do we need to consider when we're back on the dating scene?

    – Our previous relationship experiences may have scarred our view and made us wary of what might go wrong. We may be keen to meet someone new but are nervous of trusting again. Cynicism of others' motives and being uncertain of our own instincts after getting it wrong may be sensible forms of self-protection, but if we treat all new dates with apprehension they will quickly sense our hesitancy and lack of enthusiasm. It's not going to bode well if we're on permanent alert, suspicious of their comments, behavior or intentions.

    Counseling and hypnotherapy can be a useful start to the healing process and a good way to deal with past upsets. Therapy can help us to improve our confidence, self-esteem and remedy unwanted habit patterns, so becoming more assertive in an appropriate adult way. Don't forget that most potential dates will have their own story too, with their concerns, unease and fears. Starting out, second time around, can be a cautious time for both.

    – This can be a good time to do things that boost your confidence. Maybe your wardrobe, make up or grooming regime need a refresh. Small changes can make a massive difference to how you feel about yourself and often cost very little to implement. Pay attention to current affairs, popular TV and local events so that you can easily join in conversations and offer relevant opinions. Think about picking up a hobby or interest, volunteering or joining a course. Exams don't have to be a factor!

    – You may have to deal with children who are not too impressed at the thought of you dating again. They may have been through the damage of the breakup, witnessed the pain of the divorce and are used to you being around, more like your old self and always there for them. The thought of a new 'mum' or 'dad' arriving on the scene may fill them with horror.

    Dependant on their age and awareness of the reasons for the breakup, they may have put your ex on a pedestal, especially if he or she is seen as the victim, all alone and struggling to recover. Giving you 'permission' to starting dating again might seem like a step too far and incredibly disloyal.

    Children's jealousy, resentment and emotional blackmail may need to be navigated with kind but firm determination, especially if they refuse to share you or treat any potential serious new relationship with shock or disdain. Sometimes it's advisable to keep the fact that you're dating private until you're confident that this new relationship is right for you, even if that decision remains in place for months or even years, until the children are older or more settled.

    And if they do insist on overseeing your love life it's important to refuse to allow yourself to be bullied by them. Older children are often determined to live their life on their terms, but equally they must allow you to do the same.

    – Ageing, older parents can sometimes start to increase their demands just as you're ready to start back on the dating scene. They may be increasingly fragile and in need of greater levels of support. There may be concerns at leaving them unattended for too long, or that you could be called away at a moments notice. It could make the notion of dating again seem like too much hassle.

    But supportive friends or the services offered by many local care agencies could potentially step into the breach and provide whatever level of support is required to help ease those concerns. And mobile phones make us all easily accessible.

    – Friends too can send mixed messages. Sometimes at the outset, they may display great enthusiasm about getting you back on the dating scene. They may be keen to introduce you to single friends, arrange coffees, support you as you aim to lose a little weight and update your image. But then, if you become more committed to dating reality may sink in for them. The awareness that if you become serious about someone new and how it could significantly change your close, supportive relationship may hit them hard and prompt them to revise their approach.

    Become aware of them starting to discourage you or of them regularly finding fault with your new love interest. Trust your gut and pay attention to any reasonable concerns they may have, but also appreciate that other people's perception of your date will be different to yours, especially if they're coming from a long-established, cozy, familiar relationship scenario.

    Have some fun, take good care of yourself and enjoy getting back on the dating scene!

  • Marital Affairs And Your Karma

    Marital Affairs And Your Karma

    [ad_1]

    Two people can be mutually attracted to one another, only if there was some relationship between them in some previous life. When you meet a person, to whom you were related in a previous life, the stored memories or the Runanubhandhana stir up your emotions and you may start “feeling” for the person. Every longstanding relationship leads to certain deep impressions. Any act when done repeatedly can become a habit. Every habit leaves an impression. These impressions are the Samskaras, which drive us to act again. But if we have no more debt (runa) with the other person, it just remains a fleeting thought, an impulse only.

    Sometimes even though the karmic debt is discharged, the old Samskaras (impressions of past acts) can generate an irresistible inner urge to enter into a relationship. We eventually end up creating a fresh account, a further karmic debt that is not advisable. But if there is undischarged karmic debt, it results in a relationship naturally. When the karmic accounts are settled, once there is no more debt, the relationship ends. But if the Runanubhandhana is very strong, it results in a long-standing relationship like marriage.

    This is the cause of every relationship, how it is born and how it ends. But nothing is permanent. No karmic debt can be everlasting. Eventually it has to end when the debt is discharged, when the account is balanced. In this impermanent world change is the law of life. Countless wombs have we passed through. Innumerable mothers, fathers, spouses and children have we been with. It is hard to interact with another being who has not been a parent, brother, sister, spouse, child, friend or associate in some other life. But when a karmic debt is over, the attachment might still be there. We still cling on. When rna (debt) is over, the relationship has to end, but anubandhana (bondage or attachment) might still make us cling to the person. Like the fan that turns for a while even after the power supply has been switched off, the attachment doesn’t die for some time. Once the runa is over, nothing can sustain the relationship. Hence any further remnants of attachment (anubandhana) are bound to produce only suffering and misery.

    In some cases, one of the two people involved grows out of the relationship once the runa (debt) is discharged. But the other refuses to move on, due to the attachment (anubandhana). The second person suffers tremendously because any further attachment leads to misery and suffering only. Sometimes there is bitterness also after separation. This bitterness can sow the seeds for future karma! When the karmic debts are over, when a couple has to part ways, as far as possible, it should be done with the least negative feelings. They should part in an amicable way to avoid further seeds of new karma, which is easier said than done.

    The karma that brings two people together into marriage can also be of many types.

    1. Bitter enemies can be born as husband and wife, and always fight, criticize, deceive one another and make each other’s lives miserable.
    2. Two people who have created negative karma between them come back as man and wife, and lead a life of suffering together, fighting with one another.
    3. Two people who have created both positive and negative karma between them come back as man and wife, and have a mixed life causing both happiness and unhappiness to one another.
    4. Two people who have created positive karma between them in previous lives come back as man and wife and lead a relatively happy life.
    5. One who has taken a lot in some life has to give in the present life. In such a case, one of them will always be giving (money, love, care, etc.) and the other receiving.
    6. Two souls who are evolving spiritually come as husband and wife, help each other in their evolution and benefit one another. This is the purpose of marriage.
    7. A couple who has been husband and wife may come back as husband and wife again, if their Runanubhandhana is very strong. If the Runanubhandhana is very strong and their destinies (lives) are so strongly interlinked, usually both die almost at the same time. If one dies first, generally the other also dies within a few hours or days or weeks. The souls are so strongly identified with one another that towards the end of a successful married life, they behave as if they are one.
    8. Sometimes (rarely) a very highly evolved being or soul, or spirit or even an avatar is born as two people to accomplish a mission. After the accomplishment of the mission, they merge back into one. Though very rare, such a divine couple can take birth at times. Such a high soul may be born as two separate individuals as husband and wife, brothers, guru and disciple, etc.

    Malaysian Health Ministry’s approach better than UK: Fifa Rahman 1

    PETALING JAYA: Fifa Rahman (pix) who’s a board member for the NGO Unitaid, pointed out on Twitter that the Malaysian Health Ministry’s outreach to the poor is far greater than the UK.

    “Truly remarkable outreach by Malaysian health workers to low-income families. We’re not seeing this kind of outreach in Yorkshire, not sure about the rest of the UK,” Fifa tweeted yesterday.

    Replying to her tweet was parliamentarian Sivarasah Rasiah and Religious Affairs Minister Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri. “Fifa, the DG’s strategy seems to be to focus mass testing in areas where clusters of cases appear. Level of lockdown for the area is increased together with intensive testing and comtact tracing. Seems to be effective in bringing down the rate of increase of cases,” Sivarasah said.

    “TQVM for your concern. On my side, agencies under my ministry are helping the foreign workers as much as possible by giving them foods and dry goods since the beginning of MCO. Yesterday, we went to Kongsi Cyberjaya 10.” Zulkifli replied to Fifa.

  • Why Women Fail

    Why Women Fail

    The trigger thereof, as I say, will not be exterior, however inner. It lies in the identical disconcerting apprehension of the bigger realities, the identical impatience with the paltry and meretricious, the identical disqualification for mechanical routine and empty technic which one finds within the greater styles of males. Even within the pursuits which, by the customized of Christendom, are particularly their very own, girls seldom present any of that elaborately conventionalized and half automated proficiency which is the pleasure and boast of most males.

    It is a commonplace of remark, certainly, {that a} housewife who really is aware of the best way to cook dinner, or who could make her personal garments with sufficient ability to hide the actual fact from essentially the most informal look, or who’s competent to instruct her kids within the parts of morals, studying and hygiene—it’s a platitude that such a girl could be very uncommon certainly, and that when she is encountered she will not be often esteemed for her basic intelligence. This is especially true within the United States, the place the place of ladies is greater than in some other civilized or semi-civilized nation, and the outdated assumption of their mental inferiority has been most efficiently challenged.

    The American dinner-table, in fact, turns into a monument to the faulty technic of the American housewife. The visitor who respects his oesophagus, invited to feed upon its discordant and ill-prepared victuals, evades the expertise as lengthy and as typically as he can, and resigns himself to it as he may resign himself to being shaved by a paralytic. Nowhere else on the planet have girls extra leisure and freedom to enhance their minds, and nowhere else do they present the next degree of intelligence, or participate extra successfully in affairs of the primary significance. But nowhere else is there worse cooking within the residence, or a extra inept dealing with of the entire home economic system, or a bigger dependence upon assistance from exterior substitutes, by males supplied, for the ability that’s wanting the place it theoretically exists. It is unquestionably no mere coincidence that the land of the emancipated and enthroned girl can be the land of canned soup, of canned pork and beans, of complete meals in cans, and of every little thing else ready-made.

    And nowhere else is there extra putting tendency to throw the entire enterprise of coaching the minds of kids upon skilled lecturers, and the entire enterprise of instructing them in morals and faith upon so-called Sunday-schools, and the entire enterprise of creating and caring for his or her our bodies upon playground specialists, intercourse hygienists and different such professionals, most of them mountebanks.

    In transient, girls insurgent—typically unconsciously, typically even submitting all of the whereas—in opposition to the boring, mechanical tips of the commerce that the current group of society compels them to practise for a dwelling, and that rise up testifies to their intelligence. If they loved and took pleasure in these tips, and confirmed it by diligence and ability, they’d be on all fours with such males as are headwaiters, girls’ tailors, schoolmasters or carpet-beaters, and happy with it. The inherent tendency of any girl above essentially the most silly is to evade the entire obligation, and, if she can’t really evade it, to cut back its calls for to the minimal. And when some accident purges her, both briefly or completely, of the inclination to marriage (of which way more anon), and she or he enters into competitors with males within the basic enterprise of the world, the form of profession that she generally carves out gives extra proof of her psychological peculiarity.

    In no matter requires not more than an invariable technic and a feeble chicanery she often fails; in no matter requires unbiased thought and resourcefulness she often succeeds. Thus she is nearly all the time a failure as a lawyer, for the regulation requires solely an armament of hole phrases and stereotyped formulae, and a psychological behavior which places these phantasms above sense, reality and justice; and she or he is nearly all the time a failure in enterprise, for enterprise, in the primary, is so foul a compound of minutiae and rogueries that her sense of mental integrity revolts in opposition to it. But she is often successful as a sick-nurse, for that occupation requires ingenuity, fast comprehension, braveness within the face of novel and disconcerting conditions, and above all, a capability for penetrating and dominating character; and every time she comes into competitors with males within the arts, significantly on these secondary planes the place easy nimbleness of thoughts is unaided by the masterstrokes of genius, she holds her personal invariably.

    The finest and most mental—i.e., most authentic and enterprising play-actors are usually not males, however girls, and so are the perfect lecturers and blackmailers, and a fair proportion of the perfect writers, and public functionaries, and executants of music. In the demimonde one will discover sufficient acumen and daring, and sufficient resilience within the face of particular difficulties, to place the gear of any completely male occupation to disgrace. If the work of the typical man required half the psychological agility and readiness of useful resource of the work of the typical prostitute, the typical man could be always on the verge of hunger.

    MCO: No official complaint on worker lay-offs, says Deputy Minister 4

    These teams, he mentioned, had offered helpful strategies to the federal government which was coping with a harmful pandemic for the primary time, like different nations the world over. — Bernama
