Highly acclaimed singer Mariah Carey once sang about being a hero. As per subjective understanding, I understood the necessity to believe in yourself thus becoming your own hero. Indeed, you are your own hero. Above all, you are capable of listening, comprehending and acting on all that puts a frown on your face. You may not be aware of it but you, and no one else, could help you alleviate yourself from the pain and suffering.


Thunder only happens when it’s raining; there is no smoke when there is no fire. Simply put, in every action there is indeed an equal or opposite reaction. Thus, the moment we let ourselves carelessly fly with the wind is congruent with our ability to think of ways to glide with ease thus lessening the turbulence that comes with it. Now, you might ask what is the relation to being your own hero? Well, to begin with, there is thunder because you caused the rain. More so, you have ignited the fire thus there is smoke. Simply put, you are your own worst animator, creator, contractor or whatever label you might want to add. You are the cause of everything.

To seek refuge in another is how we normally do things. However, that should not always be the case. Look no further, the search is over before it even began. The answer to our many impending questions lies on our own self. Yes, we are our own hero; our own answer to the problem. Though not fashionably graspable, we are our own hero. We hold the key to our happiness and not just any kind of happiness but genuine happiness.

With such, it is easy to rely entirely on the self alone and let go of anything external. Temporary happiness or bliss could be eliminated thus focusing on the ability to be truly happy. A happy ever after indeed.

Like Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP for brevity), it seeks to empower the self innately thus eradicating anything less than what the self deserves. Simply put, it nourishes the self accordingly thus permitting the life that one has always craved for. Yes, we are always on a constant craving; a life that is perfect, one like theirs. With NLP, although shaping the life in accordance to how successful people live theirs is possible and feasible at the same time, it enriches the individual to be his own entity. Aside from him being his own hero, he would be taught to accept his flaws and make better of what he has. In short, to develop the self entirely implies that he exhaust his entire self to his maximum potential. To be able to do such allows the self to see through the obvious and learn to expect the unexpected.

        Putting aside jealousy and embarking on a life long journey to greatness spells nothing but perfection to him.
                              Grope if you must, stand up and have a life according to your preference.

There is always a second chance. Life always offers a second chance and it is called tomorrow. We are able to correct our mistakes, straighten our misdeeds and further enhance our life with tomorrow. More so, we are able to let go of the past and live the present with ease.

Although life is not a paved road to the core, still, the very fact that it is not makes life all worth the pain, failure and defeat we encounter. With the many encumbrances and circumstances that we have to deal with permits the self to grow individually and socially. To say individually means a developed and nourished innate self that can withstand external forces while the latter highlights the establishment of rapport and bond with others.

The way to a life that we have always wanted is dependent upon our ability to let go of the past and ponder on the experiences like lessons from school. Indeed, the past, though finished and done, could still be contributive to the present and more so to the future. Age-old beliefs, preconceived notions from the past and that of individuals that once made an impact in your life could still be pondered upon, realized and acknowledged in lieu of how you want your life to be.

The aim of Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP for brevity is that of the same intensity. To wit, NLP enables the realization of the self through tomorrow. Intrigued? Well, the concept of NLP is simple. It lets the self to be neurologically enhanced, linguistically adept and innately programmed to enable the growth and development it seeks for. To be such allows the self to be readily open for the invasion of others and of the world. To say invasion warrants the impression of sharing and imparting part of the self to and with others. Although a bit of a word play, NLP is but one method of self-improvement that aims for a life that one has always envisioned for – one that is better, fuller and richer than before.

To warrant a life like the rest is also possible but what good is a copied life when you can have your own happy ever after? In short, although imitation posts as the best form of flattery, be your own individual and make use of your tomorrow. Create your own picturesque world and try to avoid the pitfalls of yesterday with every tomorrow you create. Life, with its never ending tomorrow, encapsulates the very essence of having a second chance.

Be not afraid to commit mistakes and be hurt and feel pained once in a while. Besides, it’s all part of life. Instead, try to put everything in their right perspective for as long as you are able to feel your heartbeat and breathe the thin air that surrounds us.

They say fall twice and get up thrice. Stop sulking and move on. To say such involves more than will power as it invokes the ability to control the self innately. Indeed, to be empowered from within enables the self to be at tune with the world and everything in it.

Life is in itself a roller coaster; one big looped roller coaster ride. The involvement of emotions and interplay of intellect with external factors enables the self to experience a different sense of ecstasy. To say the least, the self becomes reactive and responsive because of the power of the ride.

It is but human to experience highs and lows in life however it is also expected of us to get up and face the music. Letting go may be one tough task to accomplish but it is warranted of us to resort to such before it is too late. That whenever we fall down, we must get up and live. Indeed, we have to live, fight and act according to our life and how we want it to turn out. Besides, we possess the only power to steer the wheel in the right direction – no one else can.

With the help of Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP for brevity, one becomes ready for every turn, swerve and loop the roller coaster has to offer. One becomes accustomed but not immune to the various emotional disturbances thus allowing him to go have a steady ride. I would not dare say easy for life, like roller coasters, are not easy to handle rides.

The way NLP works cores upon the holistic set-up of the self. In other words, it seeks to empower the self in a manner that would allow it to deal with both the internal and external world. To say innate deals primarily with the self per se while the latter emphasizes on the outside world and dealings with others. NLP helps one be at par with how he wants his life to be and how he would like to deal with others meddling in his life. Indeed, life is all about taking and making chances with the circumstances that he or she is faced with – and this further includes dealings with others.

The way I see it, one’s ability to meddle in with the affairs of others enables him to experience pain and frustration at the same time. To say pain exemplifies the idea of falling down and learning how to get up. As aforementioned, instead of keeping in a fallen state, learn to get up –fight if you must.

Do not let negativity over power you, let positivity be your triton and light the path towards your goals and objectives. In that way, you are able to enjoy every turn, swerve and loop the roller coaster has to offer.

Ever been offered something you cannot decline? May it be material or immaterial, the main contention resides on the idea that you are not able to say “no” and regretted the moment you had to say “yes”. You make yourself believe that everything is okay despite the pain and remorse that is building up. In other words, you try to smile your way out of the situation.

Humans as we are, we normally handle situations without thinking of the possible consequences in the end. For us, the past cannot compensate the present or the future with the present. What we seek for is the ability of the self to deal with prevailing events and acts that we believe to contribute and affect our well-being. In other words, we focus our attention to those that we believe to satisfy us innately and allow us to attain our goals and objectives in life.

To belittle the ability of the self to choose and decide warrants an understanding that the self is not fully satisfied. To say the least, the self is not innately empowered. It is not as sturdy and as strong as we would want it to be. No, such notion does not connote incompleteness but rather when you say “not innately empowered” speaks of the lack of the fulfillment in the innate self and psyche that allows the self to develop and nourish the way that he has envisioned his life and self to be. In short, an innately empowered self is one that is balanced and cultivated in relation to having a life that he has always wanted.

To be able to steer the wheel and navigate the ship in the right direction is what Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP for brevity) does best. It imparts knowledge in the self that allows it to be at par with his vision in life. To emphasize on vision entails the understanding that the self is able to live out his dreams, aspirations and ideals. He is able to see the reality beyond and over his imagination. In short, NLP allows the self to forget about the past, enrich the present and foresee the future accordingly.

What NLP does is that it ensures the self of a life that is entirely different from the rest. Although through NLP the life of another, one that speaks of positivity, could be used as a pattern to redirect his life, still it must be understood that the self must be lived not in relation to how others live theirs but of how you wish to live and make the most out of your life. The decision to the kind of life you will have still resides in you; you are your own discretion.

  Therefore, the next time you are caught in between, be sure to fight the urge to give up and wave your white flag. 
                             Fight until you realize your mistakes and learn – that is how life should be!

I am an energizer bunny. Indeed, I am. I make the necessary adjustments as to the furtherance of my being. My day depends on my ability to decipher the world and its many codes. In other words, I am the sole bearer of my life torch.

In today’s busy world, my day depends on the things that are surrounding me. May it be material, situations or events, I depend on the impact such creates for my life.

I admit, I am one who gets easily affected by the things that are happening around me. I could get easily addicted to over-thinking and tiring myself of the confusion that it may bring; the intensity of which is tantamount to my ability to adopt and respond to the situation on hand. That, whichever direction I may choose is of my own discretion and nobody else’s.

It has been said that stress or a state of mental or emotional strain or suspense brought about by the external world has its positive effects. To state, stress enables the brain to cognitively process the situation down to its core. In short, it paves the way for the individual to enable the growth of the intellect through logic, rationality and ability of the individual to be reasonable. To be able to do such permits the development and nourishment of the self without having to depend on others and external world for answers; that the self is innately capable of figuring a way out.

The likes of Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP encapsulates the idea that the self is able to prevent, cure and eliminate the buildup of stress in the self. It further emphasizes on the ability of the self to rediscover his weaknesses and limitations and at the same time, convert them into his strengths. Yes, that is how NLP works. It seeks to help the individual to develop both his intellectual and emotional states and nourish his innate capacity to be immersed with others and that of the world in general.

The core idea behind NLP is to aid man into the way he establishes and create rapport with others. In the process, such notion also empowers him from within. To say the least, NLP is more than just a self-improvement method but more so as a process of discovering and rediscovering your own innate greatness to be able to live accordingly. In short, be the very person you have envisioned yourself to be in order to satisfy your life goals and objectives.

Therefore, the next time you are hit with the “stress bug”, smile. Indeed, smile your stress way and keep a happy disposition!

I

I am. .

I know I must.

I believe I have to.

I wish I could do it NOW.

I must in order to make me happy.

I need to.

I really do.

I know I can.

However,

What am I supposed to do to let you go?

I cannot let another day make me miserable.

I have to get up and erase the negativity inside me!


Most often than not, we become addicted to the idea of falling in love and finding our knight in shining armor. However, is it still possible to find genuine love? I admit, to be in a relationship has been one of life’s many surprises. You get pulled in by the intensity of the love you feel towards another that, most often than not, you forget about yourself. Yes, to fall in love means you become selfless – for the wrong reason.

Do not get me wrong but to be in love and being loved in return has its fulfilling advantages. However, it too has its moments. Like the aforementioned, you become selfless and think of another more than your own. You would rather be involved with him than consider your own well-being. In other words, you forget that you and your self need the attention, too. Although to give part and share yourself to another is but inevitable, it should be taken in consideration that not everything should be shared or given to another.

To be in love means independency and not dependency. When you feel like saying no, do so. Do not let yourself suffer from the bondage of keeping yourself in a relationship for no logical and apparent reason. In short, do not let your clamor for belongingness to overrule your rationality.

Although to cling onto another is a natural humanistic gesture, still it should not be the end all and be all of living and more so of your existence. Instead, even when you are in a relationship, keep abreast of your individuality – that individually you are complete and can survive on your own.

With the help of NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming, the self is able to see beyond the superficial and traverse into the depths of the psyche. To do such a thing implies an innately endowed and empowered self that is ready to share part of himself and accept part of others in his life, a process that enables the self to inspire and be an inspiration at the same time.

Furthermore, NLP aims to help the individual stand up and keep moving forward. The diagram above, in whatever way should it be read, cores upon the readiness of the self to be complete again. The arrow mainly symbolizes the ability of the self to foresee and the tip (“I” ) emphasizes that the end all and be all of everything that the individual does is for his own benefit. Thus, the diagram simply connotes a process of self-realization that NLP seeks to impart upon the majority.

Indeed, life is an hourglass but in the process, life is more than an arrow pointing forward than an hourglass.

Never did I imagine that I would end up not with you. I admit; I was already looking forward to a life of bliss and challenges with you; I had conditioned myself that, whatever happens, we would be together. We would overcome everything and live the life we have always hoped for. However, apparently things do not always fall into place – circumstances tend to hinder our quest for a life that we have always wanted.

Indeed, life is a big pool of surprises. It has so many things in store that even a lifetime is not enough to enjoy each and every piece of it. In other words, it is indeed more than the façade and deeper than the deepest part of the ocean. It is unending and at the same time uncertain. It knows of no boundaries, thus enables man to seek for the light at the end of the tunnel. Simply put, life is a masquerade that is never ready to be unveiled.

Humans as we are, we have the tendency to dwell on a particular circumstance and forego the development of the self. More often than not, we become stuck in a situation without knowledge of how to escape from such. We only have hunches and gut feel, but still no certainty. However, that is what makes life exciting – not knowing what would happen next encourages the development of our cognitive and emotional capacity to life live in the moment.


Sometimes, it is best not to think in order to let go of our inhibitions. We have to learn how to overcome overthinking in order to pursue our quest for a life like no other. Though unexpected situations and events are always present in our daily life struggles, we must learn how to let go and expect the unexpected. Through this way, we will be able to see life in its entirety and enjoy every bit of it – with or without challenges.

More so, we will be able to enhance our innate curiosity, thus enable our selves to seek further than our comfort zones. We will be able to imbibe change and at the same time accept its possible consequences that would, in one way or another, contribute to our wellbeing.

Like NLP, it seeks to further improve the self into extending beyond its limits. In other words, it enables the self to grow and develop to be more than what any individual has imagined. The likes of NLP, being a self-improvement mechanism that rallies behind the self towards the path that one wants to be in, is indeed a big help.

To begin with, NLP enables the self to explore and be a risk-taker more than ever. It further allows the self to pursue what it wants and extend its scope even further. Through NLP, the self is able to see beyond the horizon and imagine what it might be like to live the life he has always wanted.

Thus, NLP is not only a self-improvement tool or process, but also and more so, an aid in the quest to live life accordingly.

Have you ever been in love? Did you feel like the world was at your feet ready to sweep you off at your command as butterflies fluttered all around? Was it a happy feeling or a bad one? Is the memory worth keeping or must it be eradicated from the subconscious?

Think about your most painful love story. Begin with the worst memory you have ever had. Imagine and reenact the scenario, relive the experience, and give out a loud sigh of relief after. Was the experience pleasant or not? Was the intensity the same as when it actually happened? Were feelings reignited or not?


Going back in time and reliving painful moments warrants an unexpected turn of events in life. It signifies your ability to face the past, and more often than not, face your fears. The journey back is one tough road to traverse, but it should be taken. As much as we want to forget, our subconscious enables us to visit the past and recall. And as painful as it is, it must be done to begin the process of recovery. Years may have passed, but for as long as the memory still resides in our subconscious, it is hard for us to just forget about everything in a snap.

With the help of Time Line Therapy®, letting go of the past is now possible. It is through Time Line Therapy® that the self will be able to administer and establish a connection with the subconscious. In doing such, the self will be able to let go and detach the self from the intensity of the past. In other words, it will become resilient and at the same time flexible to the changes that would occur.

In addition, Time Line Therapy® is able to help an individual embrace change and accept its possible consequences. An individual will be able to allow himself to be in a renewed position in order to adapt to the environment he is in. More so, Time Line Therapy® assures the self of the possibility of falling in love all over again.

Indeed, the cycle of life indicates a tremendous possibility of having to start all over again. In the case at bar, it is the idea of falling in love. It is the ability to forget about the past and love again. As they say, liberating the self unto the hands of time. In other words, it seeks to instill and establish the presence of hope in the self.

       To be able to fall in love again is one of the many mysteries of life. It seeks to encourage the renewal of the self, thus    elicit a more prepared and better self than before. It persuades the individual self to be available and open to whatever that 
                                       may come his way – whether good or bad because of Time Line Therapy®.

To be able to do what you want exceeds the notion of freedom. Although it entails freedom and liberation from the bondage that hinders us, it is actually more than that. It appertains to the ability of the inner self to surpass the bounds of the conscious and touch upon the external world. Yes, to express the self implicates a process that goes beyond the usual.

The conscious part of the brain holds the key to our quest for a life like no other. It allows us to act, react, and respond to the many encumbrances that we face in life each day. More so, it paves the way for us to be in sync with our lives, and at the same time, receptive to the possible consequences thereinafter. In other words, the conscious part of the brain allows us to be attentive to the world that we are in.

On the other hand, the subconscious part of our brain holds and stores the memories we have. It resembles a reservoir and a vault at the same time. It keeps all the records, files them, and organizes them to a tee. More so, the subconscious stores our most well kept secrets from the past that could either make or break us personally.

Lastly, the external world implies the world that we are in. Inclusive of the people we meet and would still meet, it appertains to the way we deal with others in relation to how we are to live our lives accordingly. The establishment of rapport, relationships, and the like enables the self to connect and form a bond with the world. Thus, enables us to fit in as individuals.

With the help of Time Line Therapy® or TLT for brevity, one becomes expressive of what he truly feels. More so, he is able to control himself and refrain from possible outbursts that could destroy and disrupt his way of life. The control that emanates from TLT is coupled with the discipline that we need to further nourish and develop the self. With control and discipline, life becomes bearable, tolerable, and conducive.

TLT enables the expression of the self. It implies a certain urge that provokes one to say what it is that he thinks is right according to his way of life. Yes, life should not be about others or how they react towards you, but rather, it is all about the development and nourishment of the self and doing the things that would empower your whole self.

                                                                  Do not be afraid to express how you truly feel.
           Instead, be motivated to speak your mind with ease. Let your thoughts flow and experience liberation from within.

Emotional distraught is one of the most common disturbances in our lives. We get physically drained, emotionally battered and intellectually paranoid as we try to escape the clutches of emotional distraught. We allow pain to seep in and destroy our life. However, it is through such an emotional journey that we learn to accept and take hold of control.

The likes of emotional binging and “me time” hoarding are examples of an escape goat. We tend to dissuade from reality and settle for temporary happiness. We opt to be momentarily blinded by ecstasy rather than take time to achieve permanent happiness. Yes, there are two (2) kinds of happiness, and more often than not, we settle for the former because we are too tired to explore the depths of our innate self and psyche. In other words, we like to take the short cut as compared to the long and winding road.

With the help of NLP, we are able to face our fears of the unknown. We are now able to go beyond our comfort zones and exude confidence as we face life as it is. In other words, we are ready, willing, and able to fight the battle at whatever costs.

NLP prepares us to be innately strong. It aids us to fight our own inhibitions and take lead of our curiosity. More so, it seeks to empower us in accordance with the understanding that would aid the self to develop even further. Indeed, NLP tackles the holistic self over and above other mechanisms of self-improvement.

Although it is not “bad” to resort to what we are used to in order to ease the pain or get right back on track, still one must be aware of the possible consequences that would await in the long run. Emotional binging could resort to ailing and failing health conditions; impulsive buying could result to a financial breakdown, while depression could take away your sanity.

It is then important to allow a certain degree of “breathing area” in our lives to enable the growth of the self. Let us not overly crave for temporary happiness, although inevitably impossible, let us be observant of how we live our lives the way we want it to be and be who we yearn for.

                      The quicker we realize the importance of hard work, patience, and control in our lives, the better.

                      Thus, do not drench yourself in temporary happiness. Instead, nourish and enrich your innate self
                                                                  and truly feel happiness from within.
