Thought can influence reality is different from thoughts create reality. If you’ve been swept up in The Secret fervor, Stuart Davis offers the best explanation about it that I’ve read, including hundreds of blog and forum posts. Read The Secret: The Spirituality of Narcissism and get it, truly get it.
No one else is the authority on your potential, you’re the only person who decides how far you go, and what you’re capable of. From Ben Saunders, the youngest person at 26 to ski solo to the North Pole; he knows what he’s talking about. Watch his inspiring talk at TED.
Give yourself time and space, think for yourself, avoid bad news that isn’t actionable. If we’re going to save the world, we need to stay well, and Dave gives us 20 Ways to Become More Resilient.
God will hit you on the head with a brick if you really need to change. Adam’s always been a funny guy, and it shows when he explains why Problems Are God’s Way Of Tapping You On the Shoulder.
Reach out to friends, rid yourself of a nagging task, create a calmer environment. Gretchen gives you Seven Tips for Making Yourself Happier in the Next Hour.
To be happier, think about feeling good, feeling bad, and feeling right, in an atmosphere of growth. After more than a year of her Happiness Project, Gretchen has discovered a formula for happiness. But what does it mean and how can you use it to make yourself happier? Gretchen tackles the question ‘what does it mean to be happy‘ and comes up with some good answers.
If you want to avoid feeling discomfort or fear when making hard decisions, get practice by doing it a lot. It’s better to make decisions upfront than procrastinate about them, creating clutter and stress. Matt asks If Not Now, When? The Importance of Being Bold.
Your intelligence isn’t fixed, it can be developed. What’s the difference between someone who reaches ever-higher levels of achievement versus someone who gives up early and realizes less than their full potential? Professor Carol Dweck explains the difference between fixed and growth mindsets and why you need to know about it.
Resist the urge to rationalize and justify inaction. From Dr. Philip Zimbardo, and Zeno Franco’s article The Banality of Heroism, Guy Kawasaki summarizes 5 points on what it means to be a hero.
Spend less than you earn, use excess money to save and invest, keep doing that over and over. That’s basically how ordinary people become millionaires.
How do you achieve anything in life? I’m not giving it away, but Senia will tell you 
Finally, a real gem of a blog to share with you. I haven’t been delighted by simple writing like this in a while, and we could all use more of it. Bookmark, subscribe and spread Wake Up Tiger.

Thanks for the empowering links. I appreciate some of what Stuart Davis shared about the Secret. I especially appreciate him separating the ego from the Self. The Self is the part of us greater then the ego, personality, body and thoughts. I find Higher Self as way to think of it. This Self is who we were before we came into this life and who will continue long after we die. This is the Self that has the capacity to create according to the ideas of the Secret. The ego has little capacity to create anything meaningful because it is run by fear and the need to control. I write about being conscious, exploring the Self and living a life filled with purpose, peace and passion at http://www.explorelifeblog.com

Most people prefer to live passively and wake up one day with a mid-life crisis asking themselves “Why” they are not were they hoped to be in life!
It is very refreshing to read positive input that reminds people to wake up, and take steps to live fully, to live well, to not be afraid, and with simple concious choices be happy NOW.
Great job, hope to read more from you soon…

That was really great compilation of the quality resources. Thanks for those empowering links. I personally liked the the DVD “The Secret” and when I read the about “The Secret” by Stuart Davis it really made me think and see “The Secret” once again with a little different perspective. “20 Ways to Become More Resilient” and “Seven Tips for Making Yourself Happier in the Next Hour” are also really good posting. Thanks once again for these empowering links.

It’s time to take “The Secret” to The Next Level.
