It’s Thursday, and I’m resting before a weekend with my Clarity Trainers and the students on the Certified Clarity Coach Training Programme. I’m very enthusiastic about – more details below. Please let me know what you think via twitter at @jamiesmartcom, on my Facebook page here, or in the comment section. At the end, I’ll tell you how you can get one of your #enthusiasms featured in a future edition.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
– Marianne Williamson

But people will never forget how you made them feel.”

In this week’s article, we’re going to look at the keys to connecting fast with a challenging audience, whether it’s one person or a thousand. It starts with a story…
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.

“Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something”
– The Eurythmics
In this week’s article, we’re going to be exploring one of the biggest stumbling blocks to building a principles-based practice, and the surprisingly simple thing you can do to overcome it. But first, a story…
“Writing means sharing. It's part of the human condition to want to share things – thoughts, ideas, opinions.”

People often ask me how things have changed for me since my first book – CLARITY – was published in 2013. The curious thing is that, while some of the changes I expected never ended up happening, becoming an author has also brought blessings I never dreamt of. In this article, I’m going to reveal 7 reasons you might not even have anticipated to get your book written and out into the world.
"You can never get enough of second best, because it's so unsatisfying."
Mandy Evans
If you’ve been concerned about addiction or compulsive habits and are exploring the possibility of making some changes, you might be interested in how this phenomenon looks when viewed through the lens of the principles behind clarity…
1. You have very good reason to be hopeful. Many people who once used behaviours or substances in addictive / compulsive ways have found freedom from those life-damaging patterns by realising some simple yet non-obvious facts about how every human being’s mind works. *
