“Seeing is Believing?”

…or “I’ll believe it when I see it!”…pretty reasonable things to say sometimes, we need evidence for us to believe that a particular thing is true, right?

That may be the case sometimes, but in the context of reaching our goals it’s the exact opposite of the position we need to take.

As on so many other subjects in the field of personal development, Bob Proctor has something interesting to say about this and how we need to turn this way of thinking on its head if we are to tap into the Law of Attraction and truly reach our potential.

How Strong is the Power of Place?

Recently I was thinking about the extent to which we as human beings are affected by our environment and how we can also be independent of it.

On the face of it, it’s easy to believe that we will generally feel better if we are in a beautiful place, close to nature, away from the noise and pollution of the urban sprawl. And perhaps that is generally the case when we are on vacation, ‘getting away from it all’, when we are not only in a more pleasant environment but are also away from the stress of the workplace. But life’s not that simple, and there’s not necessarily a direct link between the place where we are and how we feel, especially if all is not right in our internal world.

I clearly remember a conversation I had with a European couple a few years ago. They had left their high-stress careers in advertising in a crowded capital city to run a dive centre on a small Indonesian island near Bali, a real paradise of white sand and palm trees.
