Forcing the Issue by Chris Cade

I have a passion for rapid personal growth. Since most of us transform our lives relatively slowly (if at all), there’s a real benefit to knowing how to make transformations quickly. Since we have a limited time on Earth then it serves us to know how to optimize our lives. This doesn’t mean that it’s …

Redefining Optimism by Chris Cade

Lately I’ve been really interested in looking at the meaning of words in new ways. Words are the primary way we communicate (especially in digital mediums). And they are symbols for what lies in our minds, both consciously and subconsciously.

By redefining words consciously, you can actually begin to rewire your subconscious for your benefit. That’s …

Why Saying I Don’t Know Is Important by Chris Cade

A couple of months ago, my son and I were staying at my parents’ house. I was going to a retreat that weekend with my spiritual school. While I was gone, my son and parents would play together.

The night beforehand, my father knew that the following day they would be going to a fun amusement …

My Intense Hatred For Bees…And How I Learned to Love Them

I grew up with an intense hatred of bees. Whenever they stung me, I would get a large welt. As soon as a bee came near, I’d panic…

I’d try and swat it away…

I’d run…

I’d jump in a pool…

Whatever it took to avoid being stung, I’d do it.

I even remember one day I was eating …

Devil’s Plan for Destruction by Chris Cade

After sharing the story “The Devil’s Plan for Destruction” by Guy Finley (one of my favorite authors!), I received an interesting response.

Usually I don’t respond to questions around coaching and clarification (that’s what the “Ask Chris” feature is for on my website), but because this person is a Liberate Your Life program participant I decided …

Neutering Your Negative Thoughts by Chris Cade

Considering I had recurring nightmares as a child about being overrun with ants, I used to have a knack for smashing ants even more quickly than I did spiders. That all changed on the day I found an ant inside, trapped it, observed it for a moment, and then released it outside. The ant then …

My Fight For the Joy of Being Defenseless by Chris Cade

We’ve all heard of stories of Mahatma Ghandi and non-violence, and Jesus advising us to turn the other cheek when struck, but how does that relate to us every day?

I’ve struggled with that very question, especially having been an advocate for “eye for an eye” for many years. It made sense to me that if …

Manifestation

The Law of Attraction “Hoax”

For a while, I’ve been wanting to “get this out of my system.” As such, this article may sound a bit like a “rant” and may jar a few peoples’ nerves. On one hand, my intention is not to cause any discontent; on the other hand, if it causes discontent then I’m grateful I’ve given …

To Get What You Want Stop Idealizing It by Chris Cade

A while back I posted on Facebook the following thought of mine:
“If you want to manifest your heart’s desires, stop idealizing them. The more you idealize anything, the more you separate yourself from it.”
After posting that, I got a LOT of comments from people who wanted me to clarify what I meant. Some people were …

Start Believing In YourSelf Again (Writer’s Workshop # 4 plus a Whole Lot More)

Somewhere, sometime, somehow, somebody told you something limiting and negative about yourself…

And you believed them.

It happens to all of us in big ways, small ways, and every shade in between. For example, the now successful and inspiring Victor Serebriakoff “lost” 15 years of his life because he believed somebody else’s ignorant and short-sighted opinion of …
