Trade-Offs vs. True Achievement
January 12th, 2012 by Josh BillingsFar more important than figuring out how to achieve something, is figuring out how to think about it in a way that empowers you.

On the other hand, when you achieve an empowering new perspective, you multiply the value of everything around you. Each thought carries you closer and closer to previously imperceptible solutions. It’s like inventing sliced bread and instantly seeing a few applications for it, which soon lead dozens—and then hundreds—more as your singular idea gives birth to a myriad of million dollar industries.

Life 101 Podcast e01p05: How Hiding Hampers Manifesting
December 13th, 2011 by Josh BillingsEpisode 1 – Part 5 (7 minutes) – Recorded December 7th 2011
How hiding certain aspects of yourself can prevent you from manifesting change in those areas in of your life. Because once something has manifested, it can be seen by all; and if you don’t want this part of you to be seen, your desire to hide will contradict your desire to manifest change.
