Healthy personal growth is creative personal growth. It is about exactly what it says, growth. It is not about becoming more good or a 'better' person, it is about gaining more autonomy, becoming more authentic, more genuinely who we are.

Healthy Personal Growth leads to inner richness, the ability to have empathy, but it varies from the simple idea of "being good". A genuine person has no need to be malicious towards another - they would only harm themselves. But it is still not the same as'being good'.
Most religions seem to have some adjunct against the mistake of going after "being good". Christians say, 'The path to hell is laid with good intentions' and Buddhists say, 'It takes all the wisdom of the wise to undo the harm done by the merely good.


Whatever we are experiencing, we can grow through it if we accept it. There is no point, for instance, trying to be happy, if we are experiencing grief, but by embracing our grief, rather than pretending it is not there, we become deeper richer people. Likewise there is no point in pretending you love someone if you do not. You'll only confuse them and yourself.

Healthy personal growth is about coming to trust yourself and finding ways to help you to change habits you would rather be rid of. It is about becoming real and more alive in every moment, regardless of what that moment is bringing.

Healthy personal growth is about becoming more of who you are. Someone once said, people grow for the same reason as the amoeba - irritation! And perhaps that is so, but it is equally so that we grow because we have the potential to grow, without that potential we would not feel the irritation.

What is Not-Logical thinking? The very notion seems ridiculous. How could thinking that is not Logical have any significance, relevance, or value? Come to think of it - How could thinking that is not Logical even be considered as a viable "type" of thinking at all? This article will introduce Not-Logical thinking as a distinct style of thinking that is every bit as relevant, useful, and valuable, as Logical thinking. The irrefutable fact is that Not-Logical thinking is capable of producing spectacular results in situations were Logical thinking is hopelessly inadequate.
Learning to use Random Word Stimulation is actually very simple, its effect on the mind is automatic and inevitable. The only difficulty is in forcing yourself to change a behavior. Achieving consistent results depends entirely on learning a single basic skill. You must find a way to circumvent the conditioned response of rejecting thoughts that do not make sense and allow yourself the freedom to explore them regardless. Catch the moment when you judge "this does not make sense" and simply change it to a question of "how COULD this make sense?".
Random Word Stimulation is a powerful technique that provides a practical method of accessing your subconscious mind to better utilize the wealth of information within. Regular practice strengthens connection to the subconscious mind, which in turn endows the practitioner with greatly enhanced thinking skills.
The brain is an organ that enables thinking in the same way muscles are organs that enable movement. These organs are worthless without the driving force that brings them to life. The driving force that makes all things possible, including that of life itself, is personified as the power of thought. In spite of the many assumptions made throughout history to the contrary, the plain truth is that neither the rigors of science nor the blind faith of religion has adequately explained this miraculous phenomenon.
Understanding human perception brings us to the somewhat esoteric subject of the human trait known as EGO. I will not belabor this discourse with an in-depth academic exploration into the Id, Ego, and Super-Ego, popularized by the Freudian structural model of the human psyche. Nor will I make any distinctions in reference to the “Male Ego” (I’ve never even heard of a “Female Ego”).
The following article deals with a difficult taboo subject that many may feel is strictly forbidden. The secret is known but rarely discussed as evidenced by the lack of reference material available. It is something discovered completely by accident in the course of company business and could have been easily ignored and swept under the rug, but to do so would be in stark contradiction with the principals engendered by company philosophy. This unusual subject is used as a springboard to touch on matters sincere to the heart and mind.
You have some great ideas. You toss them around in your mind. You tell friends about them. They go nowhere. Why? They go nowhere because of what your friends said or because you have the misconception that only a select few are able to unleash a steady flow of creative genius. And, you, of course, couldn't be one of that select group. That is not true at all.
