TTE2 – The Thursday Enthusiasms – Artists, ninjas and nasty guitar

Posted on July 23, 2015 by Dzidek Sabat

We had a great response to the first instalment of ‘enthusiasms’ so here we go again. As before only criteria for including something here is this: I’m enthusiastic about it! Feel free to admire, adore or admonish – you can let me know what you think on my blog here:

1) An article I’m enthusiastic about

At the beginning of the year, I read this article (http://www.bmj.com/content/337/bmj.a439 ) in the British Medical Journal about an 18-year study into the links between how strong you are and how long you’re likely to live (if you don’t want to read the study, the conclusion is that the more muscular strength you have, the longer you’re likely to live).

JST 80 – The wisdom of fascination and the beauty of backwards

Posted on July 21, 2015 by Dzidek Sabat

“You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.

Steve Jobs

In this week’s article, we’re going to be exploring a powerful “inner guidance system” that we all have, and that is already guiding you in creating a life you love. I’ll go further; for reasons I’ll explain later, the fact that you’re reading this is a signal that this guidance is alive and well in you, and that you can trust it to help create the results and experiences that matter to you.

TTE1 – The Thursday Enthusiasms (Book, Kitchen, Cartoon, Video, Subject)

Posted on July 17, 2015 by Jamie Smart

I’m experimenting with different ways of sharing my enthusiasms with you. My only criteria for including something here is this: I’m enthusiastic about it! Here’s the first instalment of The Thursday Enthusiasms for you to enjoy, covet or ridicule. Here goes:

1) A book I’m enthusiastic about
The Missing Link by Sydney Banks. OK – I was given this book in 1999, read it in an hour and dismissed it, saying “I already know all that, and it’s more complicated than that”. Now it’s one of my favourite books. I can read a single sentence and get floored. Truly mind-opening.

"The more important a call to action is to our soul's evolution, the more Resistance we will feel about answering it.. But to yield to Resistance deforms our spirit. It stunts us and makes us less than we are and were born to be."

Steven Pressfield, Author

In this week’s article we’re going to lift the lid on what may well be the number one thing that stops people creating the life, results and experiences they desire… resistance.
