off to a GRT! start ??
need of some inspiration ??
nice reminder… 1. Let go.
Many times we are held back by the tangled web of previous failures, commitments, emotions, barriers. We cannot change careers because we’re used to what we’re doing and it’s too hard to change. |
2. Decide what matters most today.
Forget about your goals for all of this year. Instead, decide: what do you want to do today?
What matters most to you, to your life? |
3. Clear away distractions and focus.
Clear away email and Facebook and Twitter and your favorite blogs and news websites and social forums, |
4. Find happiness now.
Don’t look at happiness as something that will come when you’re done with this goal, or when you’ve attained a certain accomplishment or certain amount of wealth or material goods. Don’t look at happiness as a destination, something that you’ll get later. |
5. Reinvent yourself, every day.
Every day, you are reborn. Reinvent yourself and your life, |
The start of a brand new year is always ripe with promise and countless possibilities. We asked 15 eco-fashion movers and shakers, including a vegan shoe designer, a model/entrepreneur, a book author, an eco-boutique owner, a textile artist, and several of our media comrades in the trenches to peer into the crystal ball and offer their forecasts for the year ahead. Discover what designer Deborah Lindquist believes we need to survive a challenging economy, why Leslie Hoffman of Earth Pledge thinks customers will become pickier, and which celebrity Ecorazzi’s Michael d’Estries thinks will be the Next Green Thing. |

“Rustic Contemporary Spirit”
It sounds like the plot of the movie Jurassic Park (minus the dinosaurs), but JDS Architects’ have created an incredible plan for a zoo located on the South Korean island of Dochodo. The island could, according to the architecture firm, be a “case study to define a tourist region based on sustainable development only, where natures and structures function in equilibrium, symbiotically feeding one another.” |
According to JDS, the zoo’s landscape of natural peaks and valleys is ideal for zoo development. The flat valleys could host animals, while more mountainous areas could be protected and treated as nature reserves. All transportation, energy sources and building systems would be housed in a so-called “infrastructural green belt” located at a height of 20 meters. Everything above and below would remain untouched. Read more at www.inhabitat.com |

Qigong Demo with John Chang |
| Qigong (or ch’i kung) is an internal Chinese meditative practice which often uses slow graceful movements and controlled breathing techniques to promote the circulation of qi within the human body, and enhance a practitioner’s overall health. There are also many forms of Qigong that are done with little or no movement at all, in standing, sitting and supine positions; likewise, not all forms of Qigong use breath control techniques. Although not a martial art, qigong is often confused with the Chinese martial art of tai chi. This misunderstanding can be attributed to the fact that most Chinese martial arts practitioners will usually also practice some form of qigong and to the uninitiated, these arts may seem to be alike. There are more than 10,000 styles of qigong and 200 million people practicing these methods.Read more at en.wikipedia.org |

GRT! site !!
Amplify was created by Clipmarks, LLC, a New York City based company. The Company’s philosophy on information sharing is comprised of three main principles: - People can do a better job than algorithms of filtering the massive amount of information that’s available on the web;
- Serendipitous discovery is often more compelling than information organized by topic; and
- Limiting the length of shared content allows people to learn about more topics than they would otherwise have time or patience for.

Insightful post bringing awareness to our Ego.
With understanding were its power comes from
its powerless attributes come to light. Our ego is the part of our mind that is used to identify us from others and the world. Ego strengthens our belief that we are a separate being from others.
By continuously seeing ourselves as separated from others, our ego is able to support the illusions that hides the truth of our true essence. To see the illusion of this belief, the ego mind would instantly end and we would awaken as if from a dream. Ego and truth cannot coexist.
