Your Perfect LifeStyle can change corporate jungle and "rat race


Are you tired of the corporate jungle and "rat race"? Do you want to simplify your life? Now you can

You’re in your car on your way home from work. You are relieved, happy, and confident, because you just told your boss you’re not coming back.

No more bosses, no more nine to five, no more lousy salary, and no more "Rat Race".

The ride home with bumper-to-bumper traffic surrounding you, and several stoplights, doesn’t bother you one bit. Because you won’t have to do it ever again—no more commuting!

The money and time you save will be put to much better use—starting a new life.

In a nearby smaller city, you found a condo close to everything you love. First thing Monday morning, you and your spouse will be working from home. Your spouse will be telecommuting working on the Internet helping people save and make money with an international discount program.

You will have your own business, as a Fitness/Wellness Coach to local businesses. You also work part time at a nearby spa, conducting classes and consultations.

A relaxed morning with breakfast together is appreciated while you discuss your day. You have appointments with a couple local companies who want to set up health programs for their employees, then a talk with a local spa manager to conduct some classes. Your spouse reminds you that both of you have a meeting with a local council member to starting fundraiser to build a playscape. Your spouse will be on the Internet working all morning.

That evening you’re both invited to a neighbor’s for a "welcome to the neighborhood" dinner. There you meet some new friends who are involved in the community theater group. You and spouse are very much interested.

You and your spouse’s daily schedules are flexible to get involved in the community; social activities, arts, theater, and volunteering with the elderly and youth groups.

You are living your ideal life, close to home, just being together and planning for the future.

Yes, this scenario is possible. Hundreds of people are doing it.

4 Simple Steps To The Good Life
Would you like to live the good life? This article shows you the four simple and incredibly powerful steps you need to follow to create a life filled with more achievement, prosperity and happiness than you could now imagine.

Enlarge ImageIf you want to create the good life -- a life filled with more achievement, prosperity and happiness than you could now imagine -- all you really need to do is faithfully follow four simple steps. Really.

By following these four incredibly powerful steps, you'll be able to create and attract whatever the "good life" means to you, be it optimum health, vast wealth or greater overall happiness.

Are you ready?

1. Define and Clarify Your Vision

Step one is simply to write down everything you would really love to have in your ideal "good life". Yes, write it all down and let your imagination flow. Ask yourself: "If I had all the time, money and resources and I could be or have anything at all in life, what would bring me the most happiness?

Think on paper. Develop a vivid and detailed description of what the good life would look like for you and put it down in writing.

Put a date at the very top of the page that's 2 or 3 years out in the future, but otherwise write out your good life description in the present tense, first person. Presume that it is guaranteed to happen but only if you could be crystal clear about exactly what you want and what the good life would look like for you.

Clarity is essential. You can't hit a fuzzy target or one you can't see.

2. Visualize and Feel It as Real

Here's step two. In your mind, project forward 2 or 3 years and create a clear mental image of what the good life looks like for you. Imagine the kind of life that would be ideal for you in every way. Visualize the end-result (and only the end-result) in your mind's eye. Get a clear mental picture of it.

Here's the key: As you visualize, enjoy the feelings you would have if you were already living and experiencing the good life right now. How would it feel? Feel your intention as if it's already been achieved.

As you visualize your ideal end-result you should literally be smiling as you relish the intense happiness generated by this 'virtual experience'. It should feel like you are radiating bliss from every cell of your being each time you close your eyes and visualize.

Spend five to ten minutes of quiet time every day visualizing your good life and feeling the happiness associated with it. First thing in the morning and last thing at night is ideal. Consistency and repetition gives this process amazing creative power.

3. Ask "HOW?"

Once you have a crystal clear vision of what the good life looks and feels like, continually ask yourself, in an open- minded state of wonder: "OK, now how can I achieve this?"

Think of this as an open-ended question to the universe.

Do not dwell on or worry about the fact that you don't know all the answers to this question. That's absolutely OK.

In fact, it's not your job to know all (or even any of) the "how's" at this point. It's much more important for you to clearly define your target. That is, to clearly define and describe the good life in your mind's eye in every detail and continually immerse yourself in the happiness it generates for you.

So just keep asking yourself "how" and be open to whatever insights and intuitive nudges you receive. Doing this will allow you to tap into your unlimited creative resources. The more you do this, the more insights, ideas and inspiration you will get to move you forward toward the good life you've envisioned.

4. Follow Through With Inspired Action


This is the action step. Trust and allow yourself to be guided by the insights, ideas and inspirations you receive. Resist the ego-driven urge to force things to happen. Instead, begin taking 'inspired action' to make your vision of the good life a reality.

What this means is you should do whatever you feel nudged internally to do -- and do it immediately.

So there you have it. You have learned in a few short paragraphs an awesome creative process that will literally magnetize you to whatever vision of the good life you've clearly defined. You'll be drawn to it and it will be drawn to you.

If you follow these four steps, you will literally begin to attract into your life the ideas, plans, contacts, resources and opportunities (many of them unforeseeable at the outset) you need to manifest your vision of the good life into reality.

And don't be fooled by the apparent simplicity of this process. The truth is always simple. It's our ego that loves to needlessly complicate things.

There's one caveat, however. Clearly defining your vision of the good life may take some time. That's perfectly natural. You need to figure out what the good life really means to you -- what it would entail, and what it would look, feel and taste like. So do take the time you need to get it perfect in every sensory detail.

Your vision of the good life has to be a 'perfect 10.' Once you've got that down, though, I challenge you to do steps 2 to 4 of the process daily for 30 consecutive days, without fail.

An ancient temple discovered by archeologists in Peru may predate the ancient Inca Empire.




Archeologists Discover Pre-Inca Temple in Peru


An ancient temple discovered by archeologists in Peru may predate the ancient Inca Empire.


The temple found in the Andes mountains measures 2,700 sq feet and consists of 11 rooms that may have held mummies and idols, the Associated Press reports. It was found around a mile from the zig-zagging Sacsayhuaman fortress, and it includes ancient roadway and irrigation systems, the experts informed. They believe the irrigation system was built by the Ayarmaca, who lived in the area between 900 and 1200.


The structure is made of stone and adobe and contains a structure in the shape of Chacana, which is an Incan religious symbol.


Archeologists concluded the ruins are part of an ancient adoration center, but they are still trying to carbon-date it. Until now, researchers have only based their calculations on the analysis of ceramics and construction style.


"It's from both the Inca and pre-Inca cultures; it has a sequence," Washington Camacho, director of the Sacsayhuaman Archaeological Park, told the Associated Press on Thursday. "The Incas entered and changed the form of the temple, as it initially had a more rustic architecture."


The Incas, dominated South America during the 1400s, until the arrival of the Spanish in the 1500s. Today, the ancient Incan capital Cuzco is the main tourists' attraction, hosting the ruins of Machu Picchu.


A part of the newly discovered temple was destroyed nearly 100 years ago by dynamite blast at a rock quarry situated in the area, so the scientists were lucky to find it.

Imagine you and your favorite travel partner dangling in your own private little gondola, gliding silently for 40 minutes as you cross the Mer de Glac


From France to Italy over Mont Blanc

You just left the last stop in France. On your right is the pillowy summit of Mont Blanc -- Europe's tallest mountain. On your left are jagged rocks called "dents" or teeth -- each famous among the world's best rock climbers. And, ahead of you, the next stop is Italy. You're near where Switzerland, Italy and France come together to "high five" the sky. Miles (literally) above Chamonix, you're riding Europe's highest lift.

Your Alpine adventure starts in the touristy French resort town of Chamonix. From there, Europe's ultimate mountain lift, the Aiguille du Midi, zips you by cable car to the dizzy 12,600-foot-high tip of a rock needle. This lift is Europe's highest and most spectacular. The cost is $58 round trip from Chamonix (you can avoid the notoriously long lines by making a reservation up to 10 days in advance at www.compagniedumontblanc.com).

The modern gondola is big enough for dozens of people. With its scratched-up interior, you can imagine it filled with stylish European skiers. But today, it's full of families -- moms rubbing suntan lotion on cherubic cheeks, kids' pint-sized rucksacks and ruddy seniors laced into their ancient boots gripping trusty walking sticks.

Chamonix shrinks as trees fly by, soon replaced by whizzing rocks, ice and snow, until you reach the top. Up there, even sunshine is cold. The air is thin. People are giddy. Fun things can happen on top, if you're not too winded to join locals in the Halfway-to-Heaven tango.

From the viewpoint, the Alps spread out before you. In the distance is the bent little Matterhorn (called "Cervin" in French). You can almost reach out and pat the head of Mont Blanc, at 15,771 feet, the Alps' (and Europe's) highest point.

To both save a little money and enjoy a hike, you can buy a "Rambler" ticket to the top of the Aiguille du Midi, but only halfway back down. This gives you a chance to look down at the Alps and over at the summit of Mont Blanc from that lofty lookout. Then, you descend on the lift only to the halfway point (Plan de l'Aiguille), from where you're free to frolic in the glaciers and hike to Mer de Glace. From there you can catch a train at Montenvers back to your starting point, Chamonix.

But for the ultimate Alpine joyride, grab a private gondola at Aiguille du Midi and continue on to Italy for what must be Europe's most breathtaking border crossing. In the tiny red gondola, you venture south. Open the window. Explore every corner of your view. You're sailing a new sea. Cross into Italy at Helbronner Point (11,371 feet) and descend on another lift into the remote Italian Valle d'Aosta. It's a whole different world -- where a dash of France and a splash of Switzerland blend with the already rich Italian flavor and countless castles to give you an easy-to-like first taste of Italy.

The town of Aosta, your best valley home base, is a two-hour bus ride from the base of the lift in La Palud (hourly departures, change in Courmayeur). If a fellow cable-car passenger has a car parked in La Palud, charm a ride to Aosta.

"The Rome of the Alps," as Aosta is called, has many Roman ruins and offers a great introduction to the fine points of Italian life: cappuccino, gelato and an obligatory evening stroll. An evening here is a fine way to ease into la dolce vita.

If you don't go on to Italy, you can return from Helbronner Point back to Chamonix. The resort town, a convenient train ride from Paris or Nice, is packed in August but surprisingly easy and affordable the rest of the year. Like Switzerland's Interlaken, Chamonix is a launch pad for mountain worshippers. The town has an efficient tourist information center and plenty of affordable accommodations.

From Chamonix, there are days of hikes and cable car rides. The best hikes are actually opposite the staggering Aiguille du Midi on the Gran Balcon Sud. This is a high-altitude world of pristine lakes, great Mont Blanc range views, and hang-gliders lunging off the cliff from the Brevent lift station. Watching these daredevils fill the valley like spaced-out butterflies is a thrilling spectator sport.

If you like the Alps, you'll love Chamonix, where hikers and non-hikers alike can enjoy vast mountain vistas with little effort.
