Andrew Carnegie’s Top 4 Tips for Massive Success

By Henrik Edberg from PositivityBlog.com

“Aim for the highest.”

“You cannot push anyone up the ladder unless he is willing to climb.”

In the late 1800s there lived a very rich man. In fact, he was so rich that he is now considered the second richest man in history. And, at least as I remember it, he became an inspiration for Scrooge McDuck. Read More…

Here's an article for those who have a sense of humor and can appreciate sarcasm.

Yes, the first half of the article justifies smoking as a good habit but there's a point to be made. And it comes down to what do you know about the world and yourself and are they based on beliefs?

Beliefs like, "I'm not good enough," or "I'm ugly" often creep up in all our minds.

So take a look at this quirky article as it targets these negative beliefs and gives you 3 tips on bringing out your own opinions and living your identity.

Smoking Cigarettes is Good for Your Health

by Glen from PlugInId.com

You might think I’ve wrote this title to lure you into this article and get more eyeballs on my work. Partly, I guess you could say that’s true, but actually, I want to let you in on something I’ve just discovered: smoking cigarettes is actually good for your health! What? You don’t believe me? Why not? Read More…

I'm crazy nervous about this but at the same time really excited (what's a word to describe nervous+excited? my dictionary is not helping me right now).

There's no easy way to say this, but I will be speaking from the same stage as Richard Branson, Sean Stephenson, and even the Dalai Lama.

I couldn't believe it at first. I am literally bursting with happiness and feel so uplifted to be even considered to speak at the same event as these giants.

And as one of our 230,000 FinerMinds readers I'm hoping you might get a chance to attend.

Alright so these are the details. The event (some of you already know this) is called Engage Today. It's happening September 30th to October 3rd, this year and it'll be held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

This isn't any ol' conference. It comes with intent and the purpose to affect change on a global scale. What's even more amazing is that you're a part of this change too. The whole goal of the conference is to bring together world geniuses under one roof to create a catalyst for economic, social, and environmental change.

And here's where you come in. This conference is a place for individuals to learn how to adjust their methods of thinking for a new world. This is where you'll learn to use your passion to make a difference.

If that wasn't enough, check out some of the people speaking at this event.

The Visionaries Speaking At Engage Today

• Richard Branson - this entrepreneurial genius will be sharing his insights on combining business and power to address some of the biggest problems of the world today
• His Holiness the XIVth Dalai Lama - he'll be speaking about the true meaning of "prosperity" and how you can use it to make global change.
• Bill Harris - the founder and director of Centerpointe Research Institute and star of The Secret. We featured Bill on FinerMinds a few months back and almost 2140 of you rushed to his site to receive his free meditation CDs.
• Sean Stephenson - will be talking about finding your unique voice despite any personal or physical limitation and why the only thing that can hold you back is yourself.
• Dr. Stephen R. Covey -  author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Dr. Covey will give you what it takes to be a leader to change the world and yourself as well.
• President F.W. deKlerk - this former president of South Africa will be sharing his courageous story of ending apartheid and releasing Nelson Mandela after 27 years of imprisonment.
• Janet Attwood - co-author of The Passion Test, Janet will help you rediscover your passions.

Not to mention a special evening concert with Bryan Adams and K.D. Lang.

So you know how I feel about this whole event. Now I want to know how you feel about it. Who would you want to meet the most and why. For me it was always Richard Branson. His stance on social entrepreneurship and all of his efforts to help the environment and society are immense but now I can't wait to meet the His Holiness the XIVth Dalai Lama. So what I want from you is this:

If you could meet one of these amazing global leaders,

Let's face it. Not everyone is a morning person. Least of all me. But we still drag ourselves out of our cozy beds each day to live our lives.

To be honest, I just woke up and feel like going back to bed but what's a better time than now to write about having a great morning?

So I did some research, looked at the hardest parts of anyone's morning, and came up with this quick 5-step guide to getting the best out of every morning so that the rest of your day is absolutely amazing.

Step 1: Get A Good Night's Sleep

Probably the most important. You can do all the morning rituals you want but if you didn't get enough quality sleep, then you'll still be missing out on your full morning potential.

Now not everyone's the same. Some people only need 6 whereas I need a good 9 hours. Figure out where you stand and make it your target to get that amount of sleep every night. Of course, a little late night partying is allowed every now and then, just don't over do it.

Here are some quick tips on getting a better night's sleep:

• Meditate - clearing your mind can do wonders for getting you into deep sleep right away instead of staring at the ceiling for hours.
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the evenings. Read More…

Wherever you come from and whatever your circumstances, I think that this code is something that we should all try and live by.

It was originally published in the Inter-Tribal Times in October, 1994 but it transcends time.

Have a look and let me know what you think of this. How many of you are already living this code of ethics?

Native American Code Of Ethics

From NativeVillage.org

1. Rise with the sun to pray. Pray alone. Pray often. The Great Spirit will listen, if you only speak.

2. Be tolerant of those who are lost on their path. Ignorance, conceit, anger, jealousy and greed stem from a lost soul. Pray that they will find guidance.

3. Search for yourself, by yourself. Do not allow others to make your path for you. It is your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you. Read More…
