As we go through life, we are always learning, gaining new knowledge and experimenting with new experiences, though unfortunately some don’t realise or understand the potential of our minds. Many curse their lives because they are dull, non-stimulative and always wonder why they can’t get that promotion or attractive partner - well, I can only sum it down to two important words:
Personal Development

Successful people always regard personal development (PD for short) in high regard, yet we still disregard it, why? Well that’s pretty simple to answer. We grow up in a society that has such a strong emphasis on education, we forget that we’ve learnt from ourselves for many, many thousands of years previously, and that’s where the true knowledge and power lies, within ourselves - we don’t get taught this, only ‘what they want us to learn’. The more we experience, the more we absorb and hopefully the more we learn; you can learn anything, it’s a matter of using it to YOUR advantage, not someone else’s.

There are many books on personal development and how it can help you grow your mind, think clearer and produce more innovative ideas, however until you have the urge to experiment with your mind and allow it to develop into something much more, I’m not sure if you’d go ahead and read a book or two.

As our actions come from thoughts and them from deep inner feelings, we need to have the urgency inside ourselves in order to make a action. If you’re in financial trouble and I said to you, “You can become wealthier just by reading a few books” - would you be interested? Of course, because money can bring a lot of new and exciting feelings, not to mention safety and necessitates like food and shelter. But until we have a wiliness to change, be open to new things, we will still work that job 9-5, pay our bills on time and feed the animals at 5pm every night.

However I could ramble on for hours discussing the importance of personal development but I would assume once you leave my website, this will be already lost into your sub-conscience until it’s required for a particular moment in your life, and it will be that day, you’ll realise you’ve been given a chance to succeed.

“Our moral responsibility is not to stop the future, but to shape it… to channel our destiny in humane directions and to try to ease the trauma of transition.”

Money, money, money, that’s all we think about and unfortunately, what we need to think about. In modern life, money controls almost every aspect of our day to day lives and influences people to do unthinkable things for a range of reasons.

Greed

People believe greed is a one of the fundamental components that we’re born with, however it’s actually derived from a true fundamental component, the need to advance. This component can also be referred to as “wanting more”. Though, this can get out of control by the mind being exposed to too many things in a very short period of time. In order to utilise this component effectively, you need to take control and allow yourself only to be ‘greedy’ when it’s needed and not lay your cards on false hope like gambling.

Survival

The second fundamental component is survival which is important for many reasons, allowing your mind and body to succeed it’s limits in order to survive. This however can be exploited and can send the mind over the edge with a chance of not being able to recover to full capacity. In order to survive we need food, water, shelter and love and unfortunately, all of this needs money, that’s right love too. You can live on a farm, grow your own crop and bread your own animals but unless you’ve grown up with that behind you, city folk would find it very traumatising - like myself. When people lose a lot of money or are constantly losing money with no signs of recovering, their mind automatically switches onto survival mode which then invokes unspeakable actions  in order to survive. At this point, you need family and friends around you, guiding you and taking off some of the pressure, reducing your mind from critical to caution and allowing you to think logically, not instinctually.

Power

All reasons are usually equally the same, however money has radically driven people for the sense of power and control, typically a fundamental component of a man. Women also crave the sense of power and control though their methods are obtained differently then those of a man, traditionally speaking. The following is a quote by me and if you feel it’s right in nature, then feel free to use it with my name attached.

“In order for one to feel safe, one must feel in control, being able to change any variable as he or she needs to protect the mind, body and soul from harm.”
- Andrew Knight

Power is used for good and evil and has formed many alliances and crushed others. Without power, our economy could easily fall apart with havoc wrecking all over the world. I personally believe we are all equal though I also agree with the statement “There’s leaders and there’s followers” - though take it one step further and think again, maybe that’s just how we’ve been ‘taught’, just like growing up in the monetary system, taught to believe…the deeper it gets, the more interesting I say.

So how does money give power to someone? Well it’s simple. Money controls the world, the more you have, the more services and products are available, which in turn makes your life easier and allows you to control others much easier. Many to this day will still turn their head if they got paid to, people have families and mouths to feed, they’re not worried about someone being shot who they don’t know…

There are of course other reasons where I could spend days talking about, though simply understanding the basics is all you need. To realise how different things could be if we didn’t have money, if we were brought up in a world full of creation and technological advancement to help better everyone, not just the people with money. To put more focus on rebuilding the earth and keeping families together, rather than ripping them apart.

I was inspired to write this article for several reasons. Firstly I have a love for money, even though I wish for a better world, I understand money is key in this lifetime. Secondly watching Zeitgeist, a film my dad mentioned to me which goes on to explain about the monetary system, our national debt, how we accumulate more debt, how money controls our lives and so on. Also included in Zeitgeist is The Venus Project, a project that has envisioned a redesign of our current culture, into something much more healthy and sustainable - with no money attached. I don’t want to spoil it for you, I would recommend you watch this documentary about our current life and let your mind open up to new possibilities.

You can download Zeitgeist by using one of the following options -

Consumerism has hit me hard recently, making me get on my knees and grovel for a popular materialistic item, the iPod Touch - 2nd Edition. Even with our current economic situation with world debt being increasingly high and money dropping in value by the hour, the iPod is still referred to as an liability due to the fact it’s not making me any money and posesses the possibility of breaking down in some way.

I have lost some money surplus by giving in to my feelings which has been invoked by multiple things like incredible marketing. Not to mention, my own desire to hold something which has been beautifully crafted to perfection, with a sleek steel case and a 480×320 touch screen - it’s pure all over.

Pushing that aside, I will now be adding money to a personal fund, details I can’t exactly disclose however I can assure you it’s beneficial to my future and will secure profitable ventures - exciting! I will be removing my saving bar and replacing it with a new bar representing the money added to the fund, named “Success Fund”.

Hayden Panettiere, a beautiful and attractive woman who is mostly known from the hit tv series, Heroes is one of the few women celebrities who {usually} look natural and composed. She doesn’t try and go for the fake look even though there a few photos floating around. She seems genuine but how do I know, I can only see the outside — but I guess that’s enough for me!

Hayden was born August 21, 1989 and at only age 19 she became a very well known face in TV. Hayden is also known for her hit role in Remember The Titans as Sheryl Yoast and Maddie Harrington in Ally McBeal, doing 11 episodes.

Hayden was born a model and actress, starting her modelling at only 4 months old! At 11 months, she appeared in commercials for popular shows like Playskool. After growing up a little, between five and eight she appeared in the soap opera One Life to Live as Sarah Roberts then later as Lizzie Spaulding on the CBS soap opera Guiding Light.

From there Hayden boosted her career from being a wonderful child straight into being a teenager and landing in Heroes as Claire Bennet. While on the set of Heroes, Hayden Panettiere met Milo Ventimiglia, who plays co-star character, Peter Petrelli. This was known In April 2008, when during an interview on the BBC’s The Chris Moyles Show to promote the second season of Heroes, Ventimiglia confirmed that he is dating Hayden Panettiere.

Last month I posted some sexy Hayden Panettiere wallpapers for everyone to download and admire Hayden’s beauty on their desktop. I have recently added more to this collection and recommend you visit my previous post. There is multiple resolutions available, all to the best quality I could find so enjoy!

If you have anything you would like to add about beautiful Hayden Panettiere, please do so by commenting. I would like to hear your thoughts!

The taste of summer is near, with the beautiful women lazing about on the golden beaches, relaxing music by day and hard music by night. Where parties don’t stop for days and sleeping is absent. I’m getting excited just by talking about it. Chris Hamilton & I are launching a brand new website, SummerMusic.com.au which will host a variety of different things to cater for this years summer including; Summer sports, summer fashion and trends and of course, summer parties! Events will also be posted in relation to their state. For example, there will be a static page for Byron Bay with all events listed.

We’re aiming for Summer Music to be successful so we can keep it recurring and engage into next years summer, the year after that and so on. There will also be a community forum so you can signup and discuss whatever needs to be discussed, meet new people and live the summer life!

That’s right, you can now drink healthy and have the same hit as a cigarette in one serving. How you ask? Simple. United Drinks and Beauty Corporation have created a healthy herbal drink that provides a instant high, followed by a euphoric calming feeling, as a normal cigarette would. This is made by mixing potent roots from South African herbs. Interested? You should be, I am and I’m not even a smoker — though I can relate, being an addict to the sweet Coca Cola soft drink. I have an understanding of an addiction though I couldn’t imagine the thoughts going through a person’s mind whose in need of a nicotine hit.

In the past, there has been several so-called “fixes” to help subside the feeling of which a cigarette gives and eventually allow your mind to move on, unfortunately, these don’t have a great effect, going on what I’ve read and been told. Once your mind is used to a recurring feeling, it becomes apart of the daily routine and is needed by the brain to function in everyday life. People blame society for impacting on their life, causing them more stress and pressure which in turn creates a want for these evil addictions, though society isn’t all to blame you know… Willpower is needed to overturn your bad habits and in order to gain willpower, you need a few things:

• Family - Family is one of the most important factors as they are not only blood relational but they have a much deeper connection with your soul than most would. If you choose to block out your family and go at it alone, you will most likely fail, whether that be in the short or long term.
• Friends - Who you hang around with and what mindsets you mix with is very important. Sure society can influence you but it’s your group of friends which influence you most. If their mindset is submissive, always allowing themselves to be told by others and always giving in, then you will take that on board with your mind as you naturally try to relate to others. I’m not saying don’t hang around with your friends, simply saying: Different Friends for Different Needs. (Don’t be greedy though!)
• Passion & Positivity - We all have it, we all need it, let’s feel it. If you are working at job that you don’t a have interest for, why are you doing it? Find your passion, find what will help you wake up every day. Many go through life doing things they don’t want to do which effects their energy, self-esteem, creativity and everyday thinking. In order to overcome your addictions, you will need to feel passionate about what you’re doing, allowing you to feel strong within yourself and overpower your fears and addictions! Even waking up everyday thanking yourself you are still allow with a brighter outlook can help increase your longevity!

From what turned out to be a simple story about a drink, turned out to be another life lesson from me…whether you can relate, find parts that help you, that is completely your choice. I wouldn’t call myself an elder nor a god, however being through many life experiences gives you a better view on life, increasing your passion to learn and thank more, every day.

It’s not easy quitting an addiction, especially when it’s been apart of you for so long but simple thoughts are key to success - don’t start big, one step at a time…

Plans for a research centre or “Brain City” in Queensland, Australia was acknowledged by News.com.au today, revealing the multi-billion dollar institute would be attracting up to 4,500 elite scientists to participate in various experiments with a green hands-on approach. However, as it turns out, Brain City was a hypothetical plan created by Urban and Master Planning students of UQ - The University of Queensland. Funnily enough, interest spread quickly nationally and overseas with SlashDot also acknowledging the story.

My question is, why would the media jump to such a conclusion so quickly without concrete facts. Were they mislead or was this part of UQ’s experiment? It just makes you wonder, doesn’t it…

I’m happy to create a discussion about this as I believe it’s important to analyse a few key points here.

For example:

1. Why would Urban and Master Planning students leak a story out.
2. Why would the media pounce on something so quickly not knowing whether it’s factual or not.
