Free Personal Development "5Minute Seminars" - Personality Development
Breaking Little Habits	5mins : 32secs
Normal lives are habitual, automatic, mindless. Our ability to do repetitive tasks automatically, disables our ability to pay attention - even to the things that we most want to pay attention to! So, why not get into the habit of breaking little habits - choosing to do little things differently enables you pay attention - and paying attention is your key to happiness...
Your Thoughts Change Your Life	4mins : 45secs
Your thoughts become things. What occupies your mind manifests intself in your daily life. This comes about as a result of you, often unwittingly, investing your energy - and the energy of the universe responding to your very own input. Unfortunately, your default state of mind gives credence to the "voices in our head" the random thoughts that pre-occupy our minds, like squatters. It's up to you - and you alone - to ignore these thoughts. They will never go away - but can learn to not give them your energy - and, rather invest your energy in living life to the full.
Living Outside the Box	4mins : 59secs
People often talk about 'thinking outside the box' - doing things differently or imaginatively. They like talking about it - but they rarely do it - neither in business nor in their personal lives. Why? It requires being different - and they're afraid to stand out from the crowd too much, in case people might think that they're abnormal. However, you must realise that there is no box - you only think that things have to be done a certain way - that you have to live your life according to the 'rules', that you have weaknesses as well as strengths...
Are You a Leader (or are you a loser!)?	6mins : 09secs
What's the difference between a "Leader" and a "Manager"? A "Leader" simply has more presence than all the rest of the "normal" losers! The good news is that every single one of us is a born leader - becuase we all had oodles of presence when we were little kids. We've simply got to reclaim our birthright by re-learning how to be more present in the present moment than the pathetic 1% that so-called "normal" people "rise to"...
Success or Failure - the choice is YOURS	8mins : 15secs
Your success - or failure - is dictated by your behaviour which, in turn, is determined by your subconscious mind. So-called "normal" people's subconscious mind automatically creates reactive behaviour "mindlessly" and, as a result, creates a life that's, at best, "not-too-bad". That's not good enough. Realise that your ability to be successful is directly linked to your ability to pay attention. Learn how to be present - through cultivating your innate ability to experience the present moment...
Get Out of Your Pigeonholes!	4mins : 55secs
Never judge a book by the cover or appearances can be deceptive! From an extraordinarily early age we develop the "ability" to categorize - we pigeonhole new people and events we meet. In the process, we end up paying little or no attention to the possibilities and opportunities that cross our path most days of our lives. We need to re-start paying attention to what is actually going on - who we are bumping into - and start recognising an opportunity when we see one...
In Love with Your Personality?	4mins : 18secs
If you like your personality, you've fallen in love with an illusion. Personality - for the Latin word persona, meaning a mask - is the creation of a number of "snapshots" you took of events and people that were important to you during your "formative" years. You need to move beyond your personality to achieve effortless success. Normal people never do - that's why normal lives are "not too bad". But everyone can achieve effortless happiness and success - and that includes you.
You Don't Like Now?	4mins : 50secs
Many personal development "gurus" extol the virtues of living in "The Now" - but what if you don't like your "here and now"? What if you have a crappy job, a crappy relationship and a crappy life? What's there to be gained from "living in the now" if it's that bad? Well, everything - because the perceptions you have of your "here and now" are holding you back from taking control of your life and creating the life that you really, really want. Take five minutes to find out why and how...
Get Over Yourself!!	4mins : 22secs
Most people will appreciate that their perceived weaknesses hold them back from achieving all that they would wish to achieve. But has it ever occurred to you that your strengths might prove just as big a disadvantage? In the same way that our weaknesses are simply perceptions borne out of our childhood years - so are our perceived strengths. And those strengths box us in to a view of ourselves that closes off so many other options and potentially life-changing opportunities...
Which Personality Type are You?	4mins : 13secs
Many people appear to be obsessed about their personality - what type they are, how they can improve their personality - and there's a whole industry out there that will test you and tell you that you're this, that or the other. And it's all nonsense - because your personality is a series of psychological "snapshots" which you took of impressive things that were done for you and too you during your formative years. You need to get over your self-perceptions and let the real you out - the one who can create the life you really want...
Success, Clarity and Presence	5mins : 17secs
If you want to achieve happiness and effortless success, all you have to do is have a clear and present mind - one that actually experiences what's really going on, in the moment. Unfortunately, normal adults experience "reality" through a fog of useless thought and, therefore, are incapable of spotting the opportunities that, in real reality, are staring us in the face. You need to start seeing what's before your very eyes - you need to re-learn how to be alert to the here and now...
Being Abnormal	4mins : 25secs
Normal people only perceive what they expect to perceive - so they never notice life's opportunities. As a result, normal people go through the motions. You need to stop yourself in your tracks and recollect what it is you want out of life - why are you doing what you're doing? Otherwise, you'll never be adequately motivate yourself to do what you're doing, body and soul. Only when you've got your objectives clear in your mind will you be able to keep your mind clear enough to be your most effective...
What Other People Think of You	4mins : 46secs
Normal people waste an inordinate amount of energy wondering and worrying about what other people think if them. They don't - other people are too worried about what you think of them! As a result, if you've two people in a room, neither of them is actually there - they're in this parallel universe wondering what they think of each other. A recipe for normal so-called living. You need to stop seeking others' approval and starting approving of yourself. Then you can be "all there" to make the very most of each new opportunity...
The Importance of Intolerance	5mins : 09secs
If you live in a clear and present mind you will understand the importance of the intolerance of inappropriate behaviour. Don't suffer fools gladly - not only will they sap your own energy - but give inappropriate behaviour and inch and it will take a mile. All the worst forms of outrageous behaviour start with a blind eye being turned to something small, yet inappropriate. Don't put up with it - because, if you do, the resulting chain reaction will lead to all kinds of difficulties and conflict.
Approval is Worse Than Crack	4mins : 43secs
Approval is a drug and it's killing you. Since early childhood we've all been addicted to this drug - thinking that wwe need the approval of others to paper over the cracks of our own faults and failings. You'll never be all that you can be until you approve of yourself. To do that you need to get over your perceived inadequacies - something you'll never do until you come face to face with the real you - the one within, the one only you can find..
