I'm moving and not moving at all. I'm like the moon underneath the waves that goes on ever rolling and rocking. It is not "I'm doing this" , but rather, an inner realization that "this is happening through me" or "it is doing this for me". The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.

The localization of the mind means it's freezing. When it ceases to flow freely as it is needed, it is no more the mind…

Lately, I've gotten into the habit of finding strategies for "gamifying" my life and everything I do. I found one method that seems to work pretty well for me. First, I list the main long-term goals. They branch out into little goals throughout the…

Last sunday i made a post on the forum that i was going to start teacing myself, since i didn`t get into the school i wanted. So i`m doing this kind of to see how well i can learn outside of the system of education. And i think it is a good idea to write about it on i-power. If anybody is interested in this kind of thing they will have something to read, and i get yet another opportunity to practice my english, so it`s win-win.

The way i worked this first week was that i set…

I foud something on the interwebz wich i thought would be worth sharing.



it is a webpage about personal growth, with a free ebook.

Since for me, I power is about becoming the best you can be. But is a bit short on actual motivational stories and such. This is a nice adition to your self-development process.



This page is Dutch, but the posts also translate to english. …

Destruction. This is what happens night after night. You wake up and you are a new man. It is like during sleep your brain reorganizes itself and deletes all of the information it deems useless. All those dull moments and all those activities that are pointless are quickly vanished when you wake up in the morning. Sure you can maybe remember what you ate yesterday for breakfast, but can you remember what you ate for breakfast 2 days before that? Probably not. The information is pointless and…

Sometimes I really want to kick my own rear-end. I have a lot of character flaws that give me a great deal of grief and I have lost a lot of friends over them. I have been defined by my flaws instead of my qualities for a long time. The real question is what am I going to do about it?

On one hand I want to make dramatic changes to myself so that I will feel less guilty, and be perceived in a more positive light. On the other hand, I don't want to become "someone else" instead…

I've always been a bit of a pessimist. In fact it has caused me a good deal of grief over the years. One of the primary weaknesses of a pessimist in my opinion is that we tend to defeat ourselves before we even begin something. I have been trying to write a book now for the last two years, but every time I get started I end up calling it quits and throwing the whole idea out. I will get a few chapters in, develop characters that are interesting, tell myself I suck at writing and give…

I am glad to have stumbled upon this group because I feel that even though I am twice most of everyone's age, I can assure you all that I have something to offer to each and everyone of you here. I have just joined and am privileged to be in this present moment and know that this is meant to be and that we have all chosen this moment to be here right now.

Sincerely,

Mary

The topic of optimism and pessimism, whether the glass is half full or half empty, essentially comes down to what norms we set for ourselves - what we expect out of life; or more

practically what our lives are as opposed to what we believe our lives

are supposed to be like in our own heads.



We are very quick to take for granted the things that we have, and once we do so we often

feel we have the “right” to them. We have our friends, our families, our

homes, our…
