Self-discovery happens as the result of conscious mental and physical action. Doing the same things over and over is not conscious mental action, it’s passive unconscious automatic beahavior.

We think we are thinking because our brains are working, that is not thinking. Real thinking is active curiosity, analysis, planning, dreaming and questioning. When you carry on only doing the same things each day in the same ways, you are essentially living one day many times. But when you are actively thinking, you are living a new day each day. And your personal growth and development is based on self-discovery. If you don’t find out more about yourself, who you are and what you can do, there is nothing to grow into. Becoming aware of yourself right now is the first important step- you can’t do anything about what you aren’t aware of.

I learned this lesson in my early 20’s when I was the night shift foreman in a precision sheet metal shop in the Silicon Valley during the initial electronics boom of the 70’s. The owner of the shop had hired a new brake operator who said that he had 20 years of experience doing the job. In this shop situation we did many small run jobs so there was always a lot of setting up the machines required all day long. The idea of someone with 20 years experience excited me because I was the main person doing all the set ups at the time, which kept me running from place to place to keep everyone productive.

When I was introduced to this new man, he looked at me, the 20-year-old, and gave me this look like, who are you to be my boss? I didn’t let it bother me as I had been working with others much older than I for some time. I showed him the machines where he would be working and gave him a basic run down of the current task at hand, and left him alone figuring he knew what he was doing. After about 30 minutes I got a chance to go to see how he was doing, I figured he would be well on his way.

He had not done anything! And guess what, his demeanor had changed. Right then I found out that here was a guy that had been using this kind of machine for over 20 years and did not know how to make a simple set up for one. All he had done for all those years was to put the parts in, hit the pedal to make it operate, and pull the part out - someone else had made the set ups.

Now I am not saying this to brag rather to illustrate the difference in how we can spend our time. Here was a man that essentially lived the same year 20 times, never progressing with his knowledge, skills and activities. Then, I was a 20 year old who started this kind of work when I was 16 and at this time had been doing prototype work and now running my own shift making most of the set ups for everyone there. My previous 4 years were each different as I progressed through the learning and skill development process.

My point here is not to judge someone for wanting to remain doing the same things for years but rather to illustrate how we can look at our use of our time. Everyone has their own life path and certainly can choose as they will. But if you are not experiencing life as you have dreamed, you can do something about it. It comes down to choice, if you are enjoying your life as it is great. But if you have been thinking about wanting your life to be different and you can see that you have been doing the same things in the same ways for a long time, you can do something about it.

How this all fits into self-discovery is this, when your mind is actively working with questions, finding solutions, being creative, and trying new things you are setting yourself up to discover more. Just ask yourself this question, if what you are doing and how you are doing it is working and satisfying, why would you seek a different or better way? You wouldn’t. You mind is designed to help automate as much as possible for you so doing simple tasks and operating your physical body do not require a lot of conscious thought all the time. Can you imagine the mental burden if you had to consciously think about all this basic stuff?

Your mind is consciously engaged as you choose to engage it. Your conscious mind does always have something going on, but if you do not actively engage it, this thought tends to be mainly repetitive, as you know. In order to engage your mind you are actually asking it questions or giving commands. Your brain will serve to solve these questions and fulfill the commands. And this is when you really discover many things. You discover more about yourself, more about how to do something, and more of what is possible for you. All this because you are engaging your brain with active thought.

Take a look at what you are doing? Enhance your self-awareness. Are you moving forward at the pace you are happy with? Do you feel stuck in a repetitive cycle? Do you like where you are, or not? Asking questions of yourself is a great way to stimulate self-discovery and get your life moving in the direction you want. And, to find out what you are truly happy with right now. Personal growth and development is a daily ongoing process, to keep it going, pay attention every day.

This 2007 breakthrough discovery is all you now need in order to get your Google AdWords pay-per-clicks FREE! And the funny thing is Google actually ENDORSES IT (Initially that didn’t make sense until I actually learned in the report why they happily do)

A gentleman from New York discovered what he calls an “oversight” on the part of 99.9% of all marketers that allows him to get otherwise paid-for advertising at Google as well as all other search engines that allow sponsored ads.

And no, nothing about his “secret” is illegal - nor does it require that you know someone on the “inside” at Google, Yahoo, MSN, Overture and others.

Instead, the New Yorker boasts proudly “…this is something that I caught onto just before 2000 when there was so much search engine craze running around, and started doing small just to test things at first … but which I later expanded on after getting the hang of it.”

This same fellow went on to start and operate sixteen separate online companies selling everything from pet food, DVDs, children’s toys & games, books, software, and sold not only his own manufactured products but became an affiliate for other web businesses - all the while applying his mastermind secret.

Over the course of nearly eight years the New Englander confesses “I’ve actually gotten over $87 million in advertising that using my secret I never had to pay for … and the largest share of which was more recently in Google pay-per-clicks as well as other forms of pad advertising at search engines … all of which I got for free …”

So powerful is his secret that he’s able to monopolize any niche online, and can always secure the top premium spots just above the usual organic results featured at most search engines.

He still has to set up an account with the search engines - but after applying his secret he is removed from having to pay for all the costs otherwise involved.
Again, nothing about his secret is either illegal or robs from the search engines.
One spokesperson from one of the most popular search engines said chuckling after being made privy to this amazing secret “Wow! Ha! This is really unique … and in my expert opinion it would only serve to enhance and bring more business to us at [name of search engine withheld for legal & confidentiality reasons] and not cause us to lose business in the slightest. Amazing!”

The northerner revealed that in this nearly eight years’ period of time since applying his secret he’s done well over $300 million in sales revenue with a most diverse line of products, and most recently in the last two years netted nearly $166 million after really “buckling down and pressing my secret to its fullest potential.”

Now to everyone else’s fortune, the city slicker is releasing his secret for getting an unlimited amount of pay-per-click ads to the general public. But he’s not promising any of us for how long.

A bit of an eccentric, the gentleman says “We’ll see just how long I can make it available before it saturates things.”

One famous public web guru pointed out that although this man may gain economically more so as a result of the publication of his secret “he’s already so amazingly rich that whether he continues or discontinues its sale will neither make nor break the man, but not grabbing it for yourself while it’s still available could prove disastrous for you as you may only have one chance, and a very limited one at that, to get this.”

…so you may want to head on over there now and get it.

It’s in a very easily readable format and is quickly and readily understood and mastered by anyone with even a 4th grade reading level.

While you’re there, why not scroll down and review for yourself the huge successes others are now having with this incredible breakthrough in targeted advertising now made freely available to the rest of us?

To your success,

Have you ever been overwhelmed with fear as you have faced doing something? We all have I think, each at our own level, with some becoming physically immobilized by it. If your fear feelings overpower you to the point of inaction you have given fear the upper hand. I stated it this way on purpose, your fear is not doing anything to you, rather you are allowing the fear to affect you as it does - it is all within your thought. And you have command over your thought and feelings as well.

When you get the fear feelings based on doubt, worry and uncertainty you choose to allow these thoughts to roil around in your head. You choose how you interpret them and how you react to them. A fearful thought does not come pre-packaged with a specific set of feelings and behavioral commands. Those too are of your choosing.

When you let yourself remain in the fear, you are choosing to have the fear guide your actions. It’s a logical progression to react to the fear feelings based on how most of us have developed our perceptions around fear. But when you realize that you have created the whole cycle in your mind, you can begin to see that you have ultimate command over the whole cycle. You can change this existing cycle of perception, interpretation and reaction to one that is more supportive of the life you want.

Dr. Wayne Dyer is well known for saying in the Power Of Intention that - when you change the way you look at things, the way you look at things changes. He is referring to your perception, which may appear at first to be totally automatic but it’s not. Well it is and it isn’t! It is automatic as it functions now, but you have the ability to change it and have it automatically be different. Just because you now, as most do, react to worry, doubt and uncertainty with fear thoughts does not mean this is the only way or that it must be this way.

So how did your perceptions, interpretations and reactions get the way they are? And why does it seem that this is just the way they should be? Because you were taught these things by those you were around as you grew up. You took on the perceptions, interpretations and reactions of those who provided the greatest impression on you as you grew up. Your mind allows this, unless you consciously step in to stop it, because it seems normal in the environment you were in when young and highly impressionable. When most or all of the people you are around do it ‘this way’ there is no red flag raised in your thinking to question it, so you don’t. Their way becomes your way.

This is how your behavior and that of groups, families and societies is formed and why it appears to be ‘normal’. And the fact that many people behave in a certain way does not make it the best way, many times it is just the easiest way. It is easier to conform than to take a unique path. You don’t have to remain stuck in the mode of allowing fear thoughts to control your actions. You have command of your thinking so you can change the whole cycle or mental chain of events that occurs with fear. Initially the thoughts of doubt, and some uncertainty are normal when you are facing something new, different or challenging but you don’t need to let the heightened feelings well up and create this big fear thing that you then cater to.

You can change the way you look at doubt, worry and uncertainty. They are just certain thoughts questioning what you are about to do. “Am I prepared?” “What if ____?” “Maybe I won’t remember?” “How will they react?” “How do i look?” These are mostly logical concerns about what you are about to do and if you can answer them logically, without emotion, you can clear them up and soothe your mind. Some you can specifically answer and check off the list and others you will determine you can’t do anything about, so you do not concern yourself with it any more. Choose to leave out the doom and gloom thoughts, the “i can’t” thoughts that are not part of the original concerns - they are your reaction to those thoughts.

Just because you are concerned with how you look, dies not mean you should stop from doing it. Just because you are wondering if you are prepared or not does not mean to turn and run. Just because you have not done this before does not mean you can’t. Your interpretation and reaction to the logical progression of thought leading up to your planned action is what causes you to freeze up. But even when you allow the feeling of fear to well up over these thoughts, still does not mean you must behave in a certain way. You can proceed with the fear, don’t interpret the fear feelings as a stop sign. Just acknowledge those feelings and move on. Accept them, realize how they come about and let them be. Fear thoughts and feelings in themselves can’t do anything, only when you choose to react in specific ways do they. Choose not to react to them.

In acting they teach actors and actresses to channel their fear. It’s not that that many don’t have it, but it’s how they have learned to handle it. Many who perform live or speak in from of large groups are nervous every time before they do. But rather than letting this stop them they are able to channel the energy in the fear towards what they are doing. This actually transfers that heightened energy you notice with fear thoughts into their performance or presentation. Have you ever noticed that some performers seem to have a different ‘personality’ off stage than they do when they are performing? Many are quiet and reserved when talked to away from a performance, but when on stage they come alive with energy and boldness. I wonder where that comes from -re-directed fear perhaps.

Everyone has the ability to do this, to transfer that energy attached to fear thoughts onto something else, like what it is you want to do but feel afraid to. It’s really a matter of perspective, yes, how you look at something and how you interpret it determines what you will do with it. Have you noticed how that when you have chosen to do something you feared you did it with a higher energy level than you normally operate with? This is that energy re-directed to something of your choice, which better supports what you want.

In fact sometimes your energy is so high, in a calm way that you are ‘in the zone’ able to do what you are doing without much conscious thought. This is how powerful it can be to channel your fear associated energy onto the task at hand particularly if you are prepared to do it. As you may have found, even being prepared for something still does not prevent you from feeling fearful about actually doing it, but preparation does make it flow better once you get yourself to go.

Don’t allow your fears to slow or prevent your progression in life, choose to change the way you look at them so your personal dreams can be expressed fully. When you feel the fear and do it anyway, you choose to let it be and proceed as planned, and channel the fear energy into your planned actions to enhance your performance. As you do this, like with anything, over time it will get easier and easier. You will be actually re-training your unconscious thought patterns to automatically behave differently, to do it the way you want it done. Dropping the emotional reaction to logical thoughts can allow you to address them and move on. Once you have checked your hair, it’s good -stop dwelling about it.

Remember that you have command of your thinking not the other way around. It may seem that your thoughts and feelings run the show, but this is just because of the default programming that had been allowed to become established as you were developing. At the time you did not know any better or different so as to guide this development differently. But now you can change your perceptions of everything in your life, you can alter how you interpret everything that you see, and you can adjust your reactions to these as well which in turn changes your behavior. Choose what best supports; the life you want, what you want to do and how you want to feel.

It is said that the business which invented “pay for performance” or “pay per click” as it’s now known, was Overture, subsequently taken over by Yahoo.

Doing any MLM or network marketing? Then this new 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing review is especially for you. Take a look and then consider whether you want to invest a minute or two checking out this controversial free report by Ann Sieg for yourself.

Ann Sieg’s hard-hitting report certainly has brought on some strong responses throughout the MLM arena. Some are angry, others are praising it to the skies. Her strongest fans are those MLMers who are disappointed with their progress in their multi-level marketing business.

If you are struggling with your multi-level marketing business, it isn’t just you! Look at these frightening statistics:

- About 90 percent of people entering MLM will drop out during the first 3 months. The most common reason? Most say it is too hard and costs too much.

- More than 95% - that’s 19 in 20 - will drop out during the first 12 months.

- What is still more frightening, up to 8 in 10 do not even experience the excitement of sponsoring their first downline member. The others usually introduce only 1 or 2 recruits, who are then very likely to drop out within a very short time.

If you are a distributor for a network marketing business and are concerned by these statistics then you are justified to feel that way! Ann Sieg has set out in words what many long time MLMers have been afraid to say out loud. She lays bare all of the untruths that many of us have believed (and are repeating to our downlines) about creating a prosperous multi-level marketing business.

When I first read the title of this report ‘7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing’ I will tell you that I assumed it would just be more MLM bashing. However, after reading the report, I found it is not that at all. After uncovering the ‘lies’ that you should ignore, Ann Sieg investigates how you can actually find success in MLM - all the time blanking out the myths that you have probably been told.

Network marketing can be a great method for achieving success and financial freedom and yet as I said above, most people fail before they have hardly started. Why is this? Because network marketers are still being told to use marketing methods that went out of date 5 or 10 years ago.

“There’s no selling … anyone can do this … your business will be built for you … everybody is your prospect …” Have you heard these statements before? Ann’s report exposes them as myths.

But don’t despair, there are plenty of successful MLMers out there - and if you persevere you could be the next. Give yourself a good start with the help of Ann Sieg’s free report The 7 Lies Of Network Marketing here.

Trojan viruses have gone through several stages of development before achieving the current state of perfection. Modern Trojans, unlike their predecessors years ago, are able to exploit security vulnerabilities in Windows operating system and installed software. Bugs in security software, ubiquity of unsafe browsers and email clients, outdated detection algorithms in antivirus programs allow viruses to creep into seemingly well-protected computers.

That?s why decent protection against Trojans still is not perfect, and infections occur. If you paid attention to statistics published by various security labs (e.g. Kaspersky, Bit Defender, etc) then you certainly notices that Trojan viruses are amongst most active malware types on the web.

Therefore sooner or later most PC users begin searching for advice on how to remove Trojan malware. Tight budgets and strong belief in the ubiquity of freeware programs make people search for free Trojan virus removal tools. Though in several categories of software free versions don?t really impress with features and usability, in case with free Trojan cleaners it?s whole lot different. There are tools to choose from, there are effective tools and there are no charges whatsoever.

It?s worth noting that Trojans are not like other viruses, therefore popular antivirus programs and Internet Security Suites often are helpless at Trojan removal, not speaking about poor detection capabilities. OEM computers and laptops with pre-installed software are immediately exposed to this specific type of threats as soon as web connection is established. A common approach to PC security ensured by antivirus and firewall no longer works as expected ? it?s not sufficient anymore. This is the reason why some software makers concentrated on creating a whole new type of software that would target Trojans and other threats not covered by standard PC security shields.

Emsisoft released a multi-functional anti-malware that targets a number of popular threats ? well over 1 million in number. Trojans, of course, are among detectable infections. It?s worth noting that a-squared anti-malware exists in several editions: a set of files for USB drives, a command-line scanner, and light version of the main product. All the 3 editions of a-squared software can be used for free Trojan virus removal depending on particular case of computer contamination. Advanced users may prefer to work in command prompt environment, while USB scanner is suitable in situations when infected computer has no Internet connection and updates cannot be downloaded.

Malwarebyte?s presents its anti-malware program in a classic Windows design that existed before Windows XP. The program is so simple that even beginners won?t need consulting help files. The freeware edition lacks real-time protection module, but otherwise it features same scanning technology as commercial product, and helps to address various computer issues caused by Trojan infections.

SUPERAntiSpyware, despite its boasting name, is one of the very few software manufacturers to offer a completely free yet featured application. It?s a lot more than a mere Trojan remover; updates to the scanning engine released several times a year clearly signify how much effort programmers put into developing this product.

Apart from companies releasing free versions to support the marketing of paid products, there is a number of tools created by volunteer programmers and teams of IT experts. One of such tools with long history and gained reputation is SpyBot Search & Destroy. For years this product has remained #1 recommended by fans of free software.

Sunbelt, previously well-known mostly in the enterprise world, teamed up and created a business-class software for desktops. Its CounterSpy (recently integrated with Vipre antivirus), though being a commercial antispyware, is available as a 15-day free trial. Not suitable for long-term protection because of this time limitation, CounterSpy is a fully functional trial that supports both detection and malware removal. Unlike many other products promoted with much hype as ?free scanners? without removal options, CounterSpy in trial version is just as good at removing Trojan viruses as its commercial edition. For owners of laptops who travel a lot and use Internet connection extensively in airports, CounterSpy is worth evaluating. The price of data stored on the hard drive cannot be compared to Sunbelt?s professional protection.

Apart from products with generous anti-malware databases, there are available tools that target a small number of Trojan viruses and other threats. An example of such is G-Data?s antivirus tool designed to identify and remove most disastrous trojan viruses currently going wild on the web, Virtumonde and Zlob being especially notorious. G-Data designed their free Trojan cleaner so that it doesn?t require installation. Double-clicking on the executable file is all that?s needed to start the anti-trojan scan.

I intentionally omitted antivirus programs that are available in freeware editions. After helping out a number of PC users worldwide to solve the consequences of Trojan infections I can conclude that in most cases attacked computers had some kind of updated antivirus onboard. IT experts know well that antivirus protection doesn?t cover Trojan threats as many expect, but I want to make it clear for users with less experience that one day a good cleaner to remove trojan virus may be needed to scan a computer equipped with antivirus. And many of us would like it to be a freeware tool.

Say, your digital product doesn’t sell anymore.

Are you a done with yourself or are you continuing to discover more about yourself, seek personal growth and development?

You see it all around how science keeps going, discovering more and more about the world and universe we exist in. As technology improves, which is change, science is able to understand more about our universe plus obtain more ways to describe it all. For example, this picture of a supernova remnant was not possible just a few years ago even though the object was there.

This is how life is, ever expanding in its awareness of itself. Plus, the increasing awareness of humans to what is already there. Much of the change seems to not exist or that the change is very slow, but it is there. Everything in the universe grows and changes we are certainly not excluded. We have the ability to continue to change and grow throughout our entire life, including our final change here, death.

But at the same time there are so many people who are ‘checking out’ so early. Getting tired, feeling aches and pain, feeling beat down - telling themselves they are wearing out -that it’s too late. I’m not trying to tell you that pains should be ignored, but how you look at them can have a huge affect on the power they play in your life.

The biggest factor to your growth is your thinking. What you think about your life and your growth determines what you see, feel and do. If you see possibilities - you will see them, and if you see the ‘end’ in your mind, you will see it in your life. If you think you are too tired, sick or whatever - you are.

Time to check yourself:

· How are you the same today as you were 10 years ago?
· How are you different?
· What are you doing that you thought were not possible for you a few
years ago?
· Do you look at things in the same way you did several years ago?
· Do you see possibilities for your life or feel hopeless?
· Do you feel that your life continues to move on or do you feel stuck?
· Are you open to new ideas and concepts or do you want to keep things
the way they are?
· Do you feel your problems hold you back, sap your energy and nix your
motivation?
· Are your dreams alive or have you given up on what you want in your
life?

Can you change any of this? Well yes you can - much of it. Many times we let one thing affect all of our life. We allow our attitude and outlook to be clouded when one thing has happened when we don’t need to. Certainly there are situations where something may temporarily set you back but it does not need to be for all time. Only you can determine if you are temporarily off or if it has been too long. You will need to ask yourself honest straight questions about it. The easy answer is of course, “I will just suffer a little longer” but maybe not the best!

The truth is that a broken foot does not come with a bad attitude, that’s our choice. A marital separation does not come with resentment that carries through all of your life, that’s our choice. Because something did not work out for us does not mean nothing ever will, that’s our choice to think so. The thing to be careful for is that when something that appears negative happens don’t allow it to affect all of your life any more than is necessary.

Ask yourself some key questions that help enhance your self awareness so you discover how you think and feel about everything. There is always more out there for you if you allow it and if you are open to recognize it. When you are clouded by negative reactions it may not seem so, but you can always change and grow. Your outlook on life is a choice - yours. You are never done, unless you choose.
