CREATING THE LIFE YOU LOVE, LOVING THE LIFE YOU LIVE
This site will help you to be enduringly happy, unconditionally, independent of the circumstances of life. Yet it will also teach you to use the more effective ways of running your life and creating better outcomes. It teaches you how to have a fulfilling, satisfied life, lived with grace and ease.
We cover or direct you to resources in all the areas of life, from psychology to time management Consider this to be the same as a group of interlocking websites on the key topics in life, with the additional idea that they are all coordinated and consistent with each other(!) We've already screened out what works and what doesn't, so you don't have to do it yourself. There is enough personally life enhancing material on this site to fill over 40 books, but it is organized for more direct access and for easy referencing, as opposed to a non-fiction book which is read and then likely never referred to again (plus you can't find where the pertinent reference might be). To see what is covered, and the sub-sections, visit the Contents Map (SiteMap).
Be sure to add this page (or any preferred entry page) to Favorites, so you can revisit it any time you want to for 15-30 minutes, perhaps at the beginning of each day or some set time.

THE PURPOSE OF LIFE: Enduring, deep, non-condition-based happiness
THE PURPOSE OF LEARNING/GROWTH: To attain more and more wisdom so that one grows in the ability to see, harvest and appreciate what is good about life; this has life getting better and better as one goes.
THE FOUNDATION: A strong well-built philosophy of life. (And, of course, the wisdom underlying it.)
THE MEANS: Life management strategies that put it all together, following an efficient, effective path. Removal of ineffective beliefs and dysfunctional psychological thinking and replacement with what works at a very high level.
THE TIME TO DO IT: Taken from low level life activities, increasing life and energy as one goes. (We'll direct you into an easier more productive way of managing what you do.)
Everything is well-reasoned, soundly based and without "New Age" or wishful thinking viewpoints.

FIRST: DECIDING WHAT IS WANTED, DEFINING IT
Before we embark in attaining things in life, it is best to decide what it is we want and to define it well. Often we lean our ladder against the wrong wall and as we climb to the top, we decide this is not really getting us to what we really want.
So, we start first with the idea: Begin with the "end in mind" and then construct a way to get to it. The "how to attain it" is what else this site is about; a discussion of how to attain that follows this section.
In order to make this work, one needs to define and see clearly what the "end" is. Without a clear definition, we're bound to reach some other end that is not as desirable.
So we identify what a possible "end" might be - i.e. what actually makes us happy, what does a good relationship look like, etc. When we can "see" what it looks like, then we can actually attain it.
In order to construct a path from "here" to "there" (the end), one needs to know where "here" is. So, in each vital area and then its subareas, we have set forth an assessment mechanism.
Then we suggest the quickest and/or most effective path toward closing the gap. Obviously, learning (in the most effective way) and the willingness to learn are key here; assess what your willingness is. To help progress along the path, we provide summaries, screened resources, and more in-depth pieces for your use.
THE KEY QUESTIONS WE ASK TO GET WHAT WE WANT, AND THEN
ANSWER:
What does it take to: (the links are to the relevant section; in each section there are assessments/tests to see where you are at)
Be a GREAT PARTNER? (Take the tests under relationships, which include
assessing each partner.)
IF YOU ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, ASSESS WHERE YOU ARE, AND THEN USE THE PATH, YOU WILL CREATE A LIFE YOU TRULY LOVE, PERIOD!!!
AND, NOW, ONTO THE BIG QUESTION: HOW DO I ATTAIN 'IT'?
This is what this site is about: attaining the desired life in an easier, more effective, more direct way (without wasting time and going down less useful paths). But to go on this journey, it is essential that you answer, for yourself, "The Big Question".
(You can go ahead and use the site now if you wish. Simply just use the navigation bars, which lead logically to greater and greater detail or look at the Introduction To The Site to see:
