    Photo courtesy of Clearly Ambiguous"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds." - Bob Marley Redemtion SongWhat is the initial stepping stone for personal growth? This question bothered me for some time now. I don’t mean external factors like a lucky gain on something or a very negative experience we had that shaped our life. I’m talking about what has to happen internally inside ourselves. What interested me was always to look inside first, to life inside-out.

    How to Develop a Laser-Sharp Mental Focus Mind & Emotions, personal-development | (8)

    Photo courtesy of pshutterbug "Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony." - Thomas Merton To have balance in life certainly is one of the most important overall goals to reach. At the same time it is a real toughie. On the one hand you focus on something you want to achieve, you make progress, but on the run you lose focus in another area of life. Has this happened to you?
