*NOTE: This is an excellent guest post by Hiten Vyas of HitenVyas.com* You may have noticed the title of the post is stepping out of your box rather than the box. The reason being, that if we are to overcome a problem and get out of our box, we need to take complete responsibility for getting ourselves in our box in the first place. When we’re inside our box, we are usually stuck. Do it now. Think of something you’re finding difficult in life at the moment and you can use this example as you continue reading this post. For me, as a person who stutters, it was a difficulty of doing what most people

When The Pain Of Life Spurs Us On

*NOTE: I’m back from Edinburgh now, and preparing to resume the blogging crusade. Whilst I prepare, here is a guest post from Brad Volz from writingtofreedom.* Pain as motivation and fuel for change. What an interesting perspective. A friend of mine shared this inspiration from his Tony Robbins’ workshop. It got me thinking about this last year. It has been a challenging one for me. As with most things, it depends on how we look at it. Some might see the good in my life, of buying a new home, reconnecting to my spiritual path, making new friends and starting this ‘joy journey’. Others might see the bad, of losing

*NOTE: This is a guest post from Tanja Gardner. If you aren’t aware, Tanja provided the copywriting and editing for the Value 101 eBook, and did a great job with it! Her writing skills are just as impressive, and I present them to you here.* Once upon a time, going for a walk taught me an important lesson or two… In April 2011 – nearly 8 months ago now, although it feels like it was only yesterday – I went for a walk.  OK, I know that doesn’t sound like much. But when you consider that the walk in question was 100km (that’s 60 miles) of mostly-offroad trails in under

*NOTE: Before I get into today’s guest post, I wanted to direct you towards a guest post of mine that has recently been published over at Ken Wert’s place, Meant To Be Happy. I hope you enjoy!* This is a guest post by Jake O’Callaghan Pain As The Barrier I couldn’t think about it. I just had to do it. For 20 minutes I lifted my leg for 10 seconds, rested 15 seconds, then did it again. Electric shocks went through my knee the entire time. It was painful. I had been through knee surgery just a few weeks before. My knee wouldn’t work, but I was making it work.

*NOTE: Apologies for the lengthy delay in between posts. Life has decided to shorten my spare time, so I’ll be working as best as I can to get regular posts to you. In the meantime, please enjoy this great guest post from Steve Olsher.* Tens of millions of people know who the celebrity of the moment is dating. But only a fraction of that vast audience can plainly state what they want for themselves. And an even smaller number have a six-month or one-year plan for reaching their goals. Time As Our Choice Why is it we’re so driven to live vicariously through others? Why do some of us spend

The Not-So-Secret Ingredient To Reaching Your Goals

*NOTE: This is a brilliant guest post from Nadia Jones who blogs at Online College.* A few weeks ago I ran into a friend I hadn’t seen since I graduated college at a coffee shop. Predictably we small-talked for a while, and then the subject of plans and dreams came up. As we talked about the dreams we’ve had for years, I became more and more embarrassed as I realized that every dream of mine was still shelved in the “hypothetical” section. The conversation went on, and I shuddered every time I said “I want to” instead of “I did”, and I cringed whenever I heard the words “eventually I’m

*NOTE: This is a top-quality guest post from Josh Sarz, who blogs at Sagoyism.* Life goes on no matter what you do, and it’s extremely unforgiving.

How can you change your life so that you can live it without regrets, and enjoy every second of it? First you need to know the enemy. The enemy known as “clutter”. What Is Clutter Anyway? Clutter has been repeated over and over again as something, anything

Why I’m Choosing The Road Less Travelled

Thumbnail image for Why I’m Choosing The Road Less Travelled

*NOTE: This is a guest post from Lauren Giammarco who blogs at Organizing your Life!* There is a long road ahead with two paths to follow. The first road is named “Practical Purposes” and the second, “Embrace Your Talents”. Imagine, just for a moment, a world where everyone can give themselves the chance to embrace their passion, talents, true self and decided to take that path. A world where individual circumstances do not always dictate the path that is chosen. A road that is followed because individuals do not make career choices based on financials or the choice being a “practical” decision. While most of us require practical attributes in a job, let’s
