you are what you believe

July 13th, 2010

If you believe in scarcity, your life will be scarce.

If you believe other people are out to get you, they are out to get you.

If you don’t believe in your own inner beauty, how do you expect anyone else to see it?

Similarly…

If you believe you are blessed, your life will be full of blessings.

If you believe in abundance, your life will be abundant.

If you believe in miracles, your life will be miraculous.

You get the idea.

Take a moment right now to consider your own beliefs about yourself and your life today, and how they affect the way you feel, the way you live.

why the future of cynosure depends on you!

July 11th, 2010

Now that is the sky of an imminent apocalypse.

Because if you don’t answer the following question, very, very carefully, cynosure will self-destruct & the entire universe will henceforth be ruled by dangerous robotic warriors.

Not really.

But if you do answer this question, you’ll not only get to read better articles every day, but you’ll decide what I’m going to write about.

Otherwise I’ll spend the next 3 months writing about cats.

I swear I’ll do it!

Okay, enough with the theatrics.

Tell me: What specific subjects would you like me to write about?

They can be just about anything: about loving yourself, body image, living green, food (! one of my favorite topics), happiness, personal development, moving your body, or even personal questions.

And then I’ll write about them. (Within reason.)

(Any other qualms & quips, critiques & complaints are not only welcome but encouraged!)

Thank you for answering :)

rule #1: put your own oxygen mask on first

July 3rd, 2010

“Ken’s Dating Tips #1″ — In this featurette from Disney • Pixar’s TOY STORY 3 we hear some GOLDEN dating tips from the man with the hard hair!

KEN KNOWS WHAT’S UP. Listen to him. Or at least, that one important part of the video ;) (Thanks Mai for the link!)

First off, go and download Grano.la & save your computer’s energy consumption by up to 35% for free! You’ll save money each year on energy costs as well, and your computer’s performance may even improve. I’ve been posting the link up everywhere since I discovered it while searching for granola (the edible kind) one day, and it’s really cool. :D Click here to download!

Saturday night a week ago I went through three kind of awful, middle-of-the-night connecting flights in order to land safely in Montreal, where I’ll be staying, exploring, & growing for the next month.

Being on three different planes, I witnessed the perfunctory flight attendant safety presentation three different times. As a result, I was reminded of one important tenet:

Rule #1: Put your own oxygen mask on first…

before attempting to help others with theirs.

After all, how can you save someone else’s life when you’re, well, dying?

I wonder how that could be a metaphor for other things in life… ;)

I’ve decided to make my Project: Summer 2010! “accountabillabuddy” posts biweekly, just in case you were wondering where last week’s went! This week’s is forthcoming.

Also, I have just one question for you…
What would you like to read/see more of here?

PLEASE speak out! Let me know of any honest comments, suggestions, or critique you have, no matter how brutal… I’m resilient :)

And have a beautiful weekend. ♥
