Book Review: Infrequent Frequencies, Rare Resonance by G.E. Poole

Introduction What if consciousness is not simply something produced by the brain? What if human beings are participants in a much larger experiment of consciousness? And what if science, spirituality, philosophy, music, mathematics and ancient wisdom are all approaching parts of the same mystery from different directions? These are some of the ambitious questions at the heart of Infrequent Frequencies, Rare Resonance by G.E. Poole. This is not a conventional book about spirituality, nor does it fit comfortably within science, philosophy or psychology. Instead, Poole deliberately travels between these territories, asking readers to consider possibilities that may challenge their existing understanding of consciousness, morality, suffering, human development and even reality itself. Perhaps the best way to approach this book is through its own underlying philosophy: don’t simply believe—investigate. Ten Ideas That Make Infrequent Frequencies, Rare Resonance Very Different One of the boo...

Principle 16: Budgeting Time & Money

Budgeting Time & Money Napoleon Hill

Introduction

The sixteenth principle of Napoleon Hill's 17 principles of success is "Budgeting Time & Money". Budgeting money and time requires similar principles. Money must be spent very wisely otherwise it will be lost forever. In a similar way, time also needs to be budgeted and we must have discipline to adhere with the budget limits so that overspending can be eliminated. Our first priority must be to set aside fixed amount for savings. This principle will help us to build a safety cushion of money around us. There will be no fear of unknown or fear of poverty and this will enhance our creativity.
Tell me how you use your money and time, I will tell you where and what you’ll be in next 10 years.

Doers and Drifters

Your attitude towards life determines your attitude towards time. We can categorise people in two types:
Doers: These are those people who have definite major purpose. They learn from their mistakes and give gratitude to god for providing challenging situations. They also go extra mile and control their habits. 
Watch this video to understand how God helps us:
Drifters: They do not have goal in life. They always run from opportunity and blame others for their failures. They also do not do anything to improve their lives.

Time Management on the Job

We must create a to do list for today, this week and this month. We can do better time management by following Time Matrix. Divide a sheet of paper in 4 equal parts. Write “Urgent and Important” on top left part. Very critical works can be written here and these works are required to be done right away for a successful life. Write “Important but not urgent “ on a top right corner. These works are very important for the success but not so urgent. If we focus on these activities then the list of top left corner will always be empty. We have to review these activities on a daily basis. 
time is money wasted time means wasted money shirley temple
Write “Unimportant but Urgent” on bottom left part. These activities will always tempt us to waste our time. For example, if someone is giving us a very important advice and we got a call then that call become unimportant but urgent. Here we must listen and note down the advice first. Finally write down “Unimportant and Not Urgent” on bottom right side of the paper. These works are of least importance and we do not bother to remember these tasks. Write down these tasks as completion of these tasks and writing those down will give you sense of accomplishment.

Budgeting Your Money

Also some part should be kept aside for charity work to go extra mile and help underprivileged people.

Summary

Remember this golden statement “ Tell me how you use your money and time, I will tell you where and what you’ll be in next 10 years.”. If you learn how to effectively budget your time and money then you will have time and money for all of your needs. Always remember that the sand of our hourglass is getting down and the glass cannot be refilled.

Why Greek Athletes Imagined Losing Before They Won

Introduction Fear has stopped more dreams than failure ever has. Many people believe they struggle because they lack talent, resources, intelligence, or opportunity. In reality, the biggest obstacle is often much simpler: fear. Fear of failure. Fear of rejection. Fear of embarrassment. Fear of not being good enough. These fears silently influence decisions every day. They prevent people from speaking up in meetings, starting businesses, applying for promotions, pursuing relationships, or taking risks that could transform their lives. What is fascinating is that thousands of years ago, long before psychology textbooks and neuroscience laboratories existed, ancient Greek athletes had already discovered a powerful method for dealing with fear. Instead of trying to avoid failure, they mentally embraced it. This practice, known as prokatalepsis , was a form of mental preparation that helped athletes free themselves from the emotional grip of fear and perform at their highest level. Today, m...
