Dale Carnegie told us: It isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about. If you pay close attention to your environment, you’ll notice that most people are simply seeking success and as much as they like to think of themselves as a successful person, they are not happy. Most people even program their subconscious mind not to be happy until they achieve a certain goal or certain thing happens in their life. Sound familiar? Welcome to the modern world. We often find ourselves delaying the one single thing we want most. Happiness. Sure, there’s nothing wrong with being ambitious or having the desire to achieve a certain goal. It’s only a problem when we tell our mind that we won’t be happy until that does happen or we achieve…

How do you create calm and inner stillness in the midst of chaos and unpredictability? It’s freaking tough to pretend as if nothing is happening when, worst case scenario, you’re living in an environment targeted by terrorists, or more regular scenarios you’re daily drive is clogged with traffic or you’re living where trouble and worries about the kids happen every single day.

Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of daily life, intimacy takes a back seat. Honestly all too often we find ourselves pulled in so many different directions that our heads spin. And we’re not usually heading in directions that lead to a happy healthy love life. Or to a happy healthy life in general. Often we end the day somewhat stressed, worn out and with our libido missing in action. And we wonder what happened to that sensual being who was there in the beginning of our romance. Where did that sexy, confident you go to?

If you had asked me about priorities a few years back, I would have had a whole lot to say about my career. But I had it all wrong. At the time, I was working 50-hour weeks and putting 110 percent into my job. I wanted that promotion. I wanted that new car.
