This is what I believe, and this is my story, all right. I believe that we were created with a freedom to make our choices. They may be extremely limited at times, but I believe we all have them. I’m not talking about reincarnation...

I see so many people are obsessed with me-me-me syndrome. Everything is about them. They are the center of the universe. It’s like, I’m the only person who can be a king...

Whatever I can do to leave a positive vibe behind myself, I do. I don’t see it as I have to do what society does. I see it as humankind begins with me. What am I bringing to the table?..

I was listening to one of the coaches several years ago, and he was talking about his kids. His son was not doing well at school, not paying much attention to the teacher. So he got called to the principal...

I’ve had a number of jobs, and I’ve owned several businesses so far. And I noticed, at least in my case, I start a new venture with great excitement. Yes, something mew, it’s fresh, it has big potential. And then, after a while, it becomes boring. Some things have lasted for quite a while, and some wear off very fast. Why is that?..

I’d like to continue the topic I started yesterday. And I was talking about intellectual bottleneck. People just may not understand whatever we’re saying. I know that happened to me quite a few times. Should I try to explain myself more clear?

There’s a phenomenon on the planet, I will call it intellectual bottle neck. We all have areas we understand good, and others - we don’t, or we may think we do, at our own level...

I’d like to remind you one of Murphy’s laws. It says, the details we’re paying attention to the least...

I have a tough question for you today. And I know it can be really tough, because there’s no way you and I can lie answering it. That was something one of my coaches told us a while ago...

Yes, I can teach you how to simplify your path to your goals by doing this simple trick. And I will give it to you for free. I have a lot of experience, both productive and not so productive. But they all prove the point...

In The phrase Somebody’s happy with the fraction of what you got, many people put their attention on the word fraction. But the key word here is...

We have this imaginary door, and our mind is refusing to accept the idea that our limitations and restrictions are imaginary. There’s no wall. We don’t have to look for...

Today I will tell you an old Russian folk tale about a goat. The tale is kind of bizarre, and hardly translatable in other languages. But I think it makes a point I want to make...

I am pretty much convinced that it is not challenges that stop us from achieving goals. Not difficulties. We can overcome whatever comes our way, if we really need to. The most dangerous place is...

My friend, I don’t know how old you are, and I won’t ask. But I can promise that you have experience that nobody else in this world has. And by sharing that...

We have millions of voices surrounding us online, on TV, radio, work, coming from everywhere, sometimes even friends and relatives. Sometimes they may sound really nice. Maybe too nice...

We’re so used to high volume of emotional and intellectual noise in our daily life, that a day without it will taste like a plain food to somebody who’s not used to it. The danger of this so called white noise in our life is...

I’ve been learning, practicing and sharing various mindfulness techniques for over 3 decades. And the one I will talk about today is, perhaps, the hardest to master. Not just for me, for everybody I’ve met...

Quite a few hears ago I watched a movie Phenomenon with John Travolta. In that movie something happened to his brain, and all of a sudden he became a genius reading several books a day, learning language in 20 minutes. Wouldn’t that be nice?..
