This Is the Key to a Good Life
There's one big thing most "religious" people get wrong about religions. It's a big thing, and it also happens to be something that affects not just people who follow religions, but something that affects each and every person. It affects each and every one of us.
It's something that affects the wellbeing of every human being at a core level, so ignoring this is just not an option. In today's talk we will look more into that, and you'll learn about the massive misconception that plagues religions, and more importantly, about what needs to be at the epicenter of your psyche and why.

Do This Instead of Trying
I'm about to say something that might be a bit controversial, but this is my paradigm so I'll say it - As far as I am concerned, the Star Wars series of movies, especially the original ones, are some of the best movies ever made, period. It's ok if you don't agree with me or even if you aren't a fan of science fiction movies, but that series is a fantastic piece of cinematic masterpiece. But that movie or movie preference is not what this talk is about.
As great as those movies are, What's more important though is something that's part of one the movies. There is a famous line in one of the Star Wars movies that's really worth taking note of. What that is, why it is something worth taking note of (even if you don't feel strongly about the movie), as well as how that piece of wisdom has a big impact on your life and what you get out of life, is what you will learn about in this talk.
If you want to get more out of your life, this is one you will want to pay attention to.

35,000 Decisions Every Single Day?
It's an understatement of cosmic proportions to say that making decisions, especially good decisions, is an important part of life. That's an immense understatement because the fact is that making decisions isn't just important or even merely essential, but critical. Making decisions is a critical part of living a good life.
Because your decisions affect the shape, the size and even the overall quality of your life.
Making decisions might not be easy, but it's not as if you can avoid them - not every time or even forever anyway. Life is all about decisions, both big and small, which makes making decisions an unavoidable, critical and crucial part of life. And That is what today's talk is all about.
You'll learn about the actual number of decisions we make on any given day, the scope of decisions, how they impact every single part of your life and even how your decisions can make or break your life.
If you want to get better at life - both the personal and the professional facets - then this talk is for you.

What Are Garbage Thoughts and Why You Need to Discard Them
Do you remember the last time you were bitten by a pesky little mosquito? Maybe you heard the annoying buzzing noise around your face or ears before the bite happened. Or maybe you didn't get much of a heads up, and felt the prick and the pain and the itch out of the blue. It doesn't feel good at all, ever.
The thing is, a very similar thing happens inside you when you let negative thoughts fester in your psyche. They can be pesky, they can harm you without you knowing and can even hurt you in big ways. Just like the annoying mosquitoes, negative thoughts degrade the quality of your life.
Both are annoying as hell. And both will harm you if you don't take care of them. This is why tackling your negative garbage thoughts is essential, and that's what you will learn about in this talk.
Stay tuned to learn more about garbage thoughts and how you can deal with them.
