To me, this is very good news. But what does it really mean to “Self Improve?” What are we really improving when we self improve? And what “self” are we improving?

As a certified NLP trainer, I am often asked, "What is NLP?" The term NLP stands for neuro-linguistic programming and was coined in the early seventies by John Grinder, an assistant professor of linguistics at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and Richard Bandler, a student of psychology at the university. They began their work by studying Fritz Perls, a psychotherapist and originator of the Gestalt school of therapy, Virginia Satir, a well-known family therapist and Milton Erickson, a world-famous hypnotherapist.

Contrary to trains, cars can change direction at the driver's will. Along the highway, billboards invite us to stop by and visit all sorts of tourist attractions. On the car radio, advertisers present us their wares, some useful and convenient, others pricey and counter-productive. Distractions are many and increase by the hour.

"Turn around and return," you will be told, "stop and let it go." Our enviro...

Although you invest quite a bit of time, effort, energy and mind power trying to decipher the meaning of various circumstances, the actions of people, the cohesiveness of situations, the illusive events have changed position before you arrive at any coherent explanation. Fo...

Where do I find inspiration? I don’t think you can ‘find inspiration’. Inspiration finds you. I’m not talking about motivation. Motivation seems to be a basic life principle. If you are hungry, you get motivated to feed yourself. If there is something you want and can’t afford, you get motivated to find the money or wherewithal to get it. Inspiration is something much more profound. It comes from the word ‘inspire’, and when you break that down, it comes from the word ‘spirit’, which has nothing to do with ghosts. Spirit is the principle of air, breath. Inspiration is what...
