My personal experience has taught me that the first thing you should do when you set a goal is to ask; why don't I already have that goal?

One of the cooler new inventions to begin gaining exposure in 2009 is the toilet lid sink. On a global level, if there was widespread, mainstream adoption of this product, it would potentially save billions of gallons of water per year.

A toilet lid sink is a device that replaces the traditional toilet tank lid. It has a sink bowl built into it, which runs automatically every time the toilet is flushed. Don’t worry, it’s not dirty toilet water that runs through the sink. The sink is run by fresh water that would normally be used to refill the bowl of your toilet after flushing. The water that runs through the sink is the same water that comes out of a regular faucet or your shower.

Imagine manifesting a totally creative life. There are people who do have this capacity and we have only to look at their homes as an illustration of the extent of their creativity.

Some homes are wildly unique, yet the owners happily and comfortably reside therein. How about a home in the shape of a top hat? Or one with a butterfly motif inside and out? Would you like a home that floats on water, or an ancient fortress with walls 15 feet thick? What about an underground home with voluminous lighting received through skylights dug into the ground?

There are many outlets for those who wish to perform mind reading tricks. These techniques are more often thought to be as myths; but the truth is, mind reading is an essential skill backed by science.

People who engage themselves in these so-called mind reading tricks are able to observe people very well… and maybe even predict the next course of action of those they encounter.

Successful people come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Have you ever taken a good look your “business heroes?” They might look like they just stepped off the runway of a modeling agency, or they might look like a windstorm dropped them in a rumpled and mismatched heap.
