Be Your Best Self & Live Your Best Life with the University of Life!

Life doesn’t care whether you’re happy or sad, rich or poor, loved or lonely, confident or a coward. It respects whatever choices you make via your thoughts, feelings and actions, and that’s what determines where you end up.

If you’re smart, you’ll quit living your life randomly. You’ll stop doing things the way you’ve always done them just because that’s the way you’ve always done them. You’ll begin making informed choices that promote your well being!

The University of Life is here to help! We produce insightful articles, podcasts and videos to help you make productive choices that result in smart, happy living!

Live smart, live happy! Click on menu topics or read through the articles below to get started!

Identity 101: The Power of YOU
To know you is to love you, and this FREE video course walks you through 10 key ways to know yourself better than ever!

 

Thoughts Matter!

Your thoughts create your reality, so don’t leave them up to chance! Actively, consciously choose thoughts that lead to the life you would like to live.

“The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.” – William James

The following articles do their best to show you how to Think Smart, Think Happy, and motivate you to follow through.

Love Matters!

Everyone knows that “love is the answer” and would love to "drown in the sea of love," but nobody seems to get quite enough of it. That’s because – until now – we’ve done a terribly poor job of teaching exactly how to love and be loved.

We say, “Be kind. Be patient. You’ll know it when you feel it,” and leave it at that.

That changes now with the University of Life ongoing tutorial on how to love and be loved. The following articles will show you the steps...but it's up to you to put them into practice!

Feelings Matter

If you want to know what makes life good, look to feelings. Everything you crave in live – love, peace, joy, hope, happiness, pleasure, relief, satisfaction – are feelings. Everything else – money, relationships, toys, careers – is just a tool to secure those feelings.

Feelings motivate your actions – and inaction – by rewarding or deterring you - and thus control your destiny, for better or worse.

Feelings also have a dark side. Fear, worry, discouragement, anxiety, anger, hatred, discomfort and others crush your happiness, create conflict in your relationships, and paralyze your potential.

The following articles provide instructions to help you recognize, understand, and master your feelings so they can support your goals rather than destroying your happiness and success.

Identity Matters

How you see yourself – your worth, personality, abilities, and your core – influences your quality of life more than any other concept, so it’s worth your time to give it a tune up!

Your sense of identity tells you where you belong in society, how much money you will earn, how much love you deserve, and what efforts will or won’t work out.

The good news is that your sense of identity is flawed and your true identity is much, much better than your limited sense of identity. The following articles help you understand your identity and what you can do about it better. The clearer your sense becomes, the more effortlessly and naturally you'll gravitate toward your real potential.

Spirituality Matters!

The human experience has four facets: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Each aspect of your identity offers gifts, opportunities, and challenges, though some get more attention than others.

Your physical presence can scarcely be ignored. Not only does it make its needs known in very blatant ways, but society focuses heavily on its appearance and condition. Your mind and emotions also play well-known roles in the human experience.

Your spiritual nature, however, is more subtle. Its needs are real and crucial for your well being, but they can easily go unnoticed or attributed to the other three divisions of self. There’s a good chance you’ve been neglecting your spiritual nature, to the detriment of your peace and prosperity.

Spirituality means different things to different people, and the following articles provide key insights and applications to help you explore and make the most of your inherently spiritual nature, regardless of your personal belief system.
