			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Inspiration is the key ingredient for those with a creative mind. It is easy to simply produce anything, but when what you produce really has to be exceptional or has to carry exceptional emotional importance, inspiration is what most of us need. You have probably heard about artists seeking inspiration through many a means, in the perfect environment, in the arms of their lover or perhaps with the deepest enjoyment of their favorite music. And that is just to mention a few. But what then is inspiration?</p>
<p>As far as I understand it, inspiration is a state of being not an ability. And given the quest of many eccentric artists out there to find it and the means by which they try and often do find it, it makes much sense to say its a state. But what then is it that characterizes this very special state of being? Is it focus? Is it motivation? Is it a pure sensation?</p>
<p>The way I know it, is that its not really about any of these things. Its about on thing and one thing only. Expressing yourself. When all seeming obstacles fade and all there is left is you, you in the deepest most honest sense that is when you find inspiration. Inspiration to express all that lies within or at least a part of it. It can be about expressing an emotion, an experience or whatever else that might be important to you. The sensation of the inspiration itself is a little bit like this: there is only you, and everything else. Everything else does not matter at all, and because it doesn&#8217;t all that could matter is you. But you don&#8217;t matter, you simply are. You are not motivated or focused, it seems like you don&#8217;t even really think all that much. There is seemingly very little effort, but a lot of action. Because that action is inherent to you, in that you do and express what you want or need to express or do. It is the simplest thing, without obstacles. It is like being, honestly, truly and passionately. It feels like being free, uninhibited, and like having true purpose.</p>
<p>It is giving a piece of yourself to everything else, without any other purpose but for it to exist. It is like our own creation, to add to the world. Because the world would simply not be the same without it.</p>
<p>And I will try to help you understand how to find your own inspiration soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever been looking at the sky when the world is at its darkest, only to see the myriad of stars that line the sky above? Have you ever had your breath taken away by the beauty of a sunrise? Or have you ever known to see someone as special and beautiful beyond the mere luster of their exterior?</p>
<p>No matter the answer, you might know for yourself that beauty can be so great that it turns into an experience in itself, or it can be so minute that it only seems as a detail.</p>
<p>Some say that beauty lies in objective facts, others say that the beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. We have many ways of determining if something is beautiful or not. Some of them consist of comparing whatever it is to something we already think is beautiful. Other ways are to principally determine what is to be considered beautiful and evaluate it based on those principals. The simplest, most changing of these but also the least realized by most people it seems is to simply sense and feel what you think yourself. No matter what way you have yourself to see if something is beautiful or not, really does nothing to help you understand what beauty is, only what is beautiful to you.</p>
<p>So what is beauty?</p>
<p>I cannot answer it absolutely, only give you my insight, so you be the judge!</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Beauty is the ability to perceive and attribute worth to something that has no function except its existence</em>&#8221; Now what do I mean by that? Firstly I use the word beauty here as a Verb, because it involves you. And as a verb it is the use of your ability to perceive and attribute worth to something &#8211; no matter what that is &#8211; that has no function. So its about your ability to give and see the worth of something that has no function. Take a flower for example: it has little of no effect upon your life, it cannot protect you, feed you, aid you, develop you, teach you, or give you anything. But it can still have worth in your eyes. Why is that? Because it is beautiful to you. Because you can notice the things about the flower that gives it <strong>purpose beyond function</strong>, where these things that you noticed in themselves have worth simply because they exist! And that worth that it has is unique to you! Since these things you noticed still lie within the object of your admiration, beauty lies within it, in its existence. But only because you could see it! So that same beauty also lies within you.</p>
<p>Simply: to see beauty is to be beautiful, because it is a trait we come to share with what we observe. On their own they would mean nothing, on your own you could not appreciate them, but put together you will find that You are enriched simply because of somethings existence!</p>
<p>Now how beautiful isn&#8217;t that?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Visualization, a method many of us who seek to achieve goals both high and low can hear about from all kinds of directions. Some of you may have come into contact with it through personal development, psychology or therapy, or during training sessions for the athletes among you. Its treated as the big thing, the seeming wonderdrug that can take you there, to that place most of us really desire to reach. The wonderland of Success!</p>
<p>But is it really all that its hyped to be?</p>
<p>As a simple answer to that question, no. As a tool in a more complex process, yes.</p>
<p>The process that I am writing about is in fact a process that begins when you first set your eyes on the goal you want to reach. Its a process that keeps on rolling along where the momentum comes from your action and that can, when planned take you anywhere you want to go. But along this way we get into situations where the very nature of your desire might change for you. Situations where the certain goal you have had might drift, blur or change entirely. Situations where you are required to achieve to prosper, where you must overcome to achieve.</p>
<p>And it is in these exact moments of dire importance that visualizations can truly help you. Because a well used visualization will help you focus on the one thing that will truly be the hub of all your success, You! It will help you know and decide what to do, why to do it, and where it is supposed to take you. It will offer you focus of your abilities and calm from worry. To really help you to take action with every measure of your own ability.</p>
<p>It is this that visualizations can help you to do!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Law of Attraction &#8211; How do You use it</p>
<p>There is really only one thing that you need to keep in mind with the Law of Attraction and how it works&#8230; What you want! The more you think of it, and the more it actually means to you on an emotional level the more of it you will have. It does not matter if it is work, debt, failure, hope, or freedom, riches, success and dreams. The stronger the feelings are towards it, the more you think of it, the more you will have of it! Naturally there is a problem with that as you will have more of the things you do not want, but that is mainly because we have all learned to think about such things. It could be the single most important decision of your life to start seing the good things instead of the bad. And there is one simple reason for that. What you choose to see, is what you will know most of. Its all there, so why pay attention to bad things if it is not bad things that you want. Pay attention to what matters to you in a good way and you will see that there is far more of it already than what you might think.</p>
<p>If this is due to some kind of mysic force, or simply a shift of your awareness is not really of any consequence. It is simply about the change it offers your life. If this shift is just the beginning of what you will realize for yourself or the very change itself that you where after, in both cases it will better your life substancially.</p>
<p>It will be the first step towards what you want, if you want to have or know even more than what you have or know now. To progress all you need to do is act on the opportunity to do so when it presents itself. If you keep your mind on the things you want the opportunity will become apparent to you in time&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Law of Attraction &#8211; What is it?</p>
<p>For those of you who are not familiar with the term: It refers to the power of equal attracting equal. It is by most who are affiliated with its research considered as a natural law, often compared to the law of gravity. This has not been confirmed by the scientific world at large as of today. So you get to be the judge about the cause of a phenomenon I would personally hope you give a chance&#8230;</p>
<p>A chance to change your life, for better or worse. That is up to you, and it is already doing so. You see, if its a law like the law of gravity then it affects all of us continuously, if is not then it lies within your awareness. In either case it is essentially about you. And anything that you can possibly do to aid yourself is the best kind of investment. An investment in yourself is the kind that keeps paying of again and again over the course of your life.</p>
<p>The source is not important however, the only thing important is where this law can take you. And the answer to that is as simple as it is astonishing. Anywhere you want!</p>
<p>Its because the Law is the ability connected to us that makes dreams come true. And if you ask those who research the law of Attraction, they will claim that it is the actual reason for all realizations and development of humankind throughout history!  Big claim.</p>
<p>Want to try?</p>
