Today, a sneak preview of my new books! I've been working on no less than *three* exciting new books - The Secret Art of Self-Development, The 18 Rules of Happiness, and The Little Book of Inspiration. They'll be available in under two months - but here's a little preview to show you how it's all coming along! Enjoy! :) Labels: books, ramblings, writing
Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the proposal. So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let providence decide the matter. He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag. 1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven. 2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven. 3) If she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail. They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag. Now, imagine that you were standing in the field. What would you have done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you have told her? Careful analysis would produce three possibilities: 1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble. 2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the money-lender as a cheat. 3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment. Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral and logical thinking. The girl's dilemma cannot be solved with traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses the above logical answers. What would you recommend to the girl to do? Well, here is what she did .... The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles. 'Oh, how clumsy of me,' she said. 'But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked.' Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the money-lender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an extremely advantageous one. The moral of the story? Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don't attempt to think. Start your day with this thought provoking story and have a fruitful day. Have a week filled with positive thoughts and sound decisions! Labels: inspiration, ramblings
A huge Canadian guy was given a job as a woodcutter. He was so grateful for the opportunity to work, and support his wife and family, that he vowed to work as hard as he could, and fell as many trees as he could. On the first day, he worked very hard, and managed to cut down 13 trees. He was delighted with himself, and also his boss was delighted. He vowed to do even better on the second day. On the second day, he worked even harder than the previous day, and took a shorter lunch break. By the end of the working day, he had only managed to cut down 11 trees. He arrived for work even earlier on day three, and worked right through his lunch break. He worked as hard as he possibly could, and only managed to cut down 9 trees. At the end of the day, he walked dejectedly into the boss's office, and offered to resign. He said that he could not explain his poor performance, given what he had achieved on day one. The boss would not accept his resignation, and asked just one question of him. "Tell me, when did you last sharpen your axe?" Labels: inspiration, ramblings, self-development
Today, I return to my home city of Durham - after weeks of travelling. I initially visited Frankfurt for filming of The Meta Secret, then to Orlando for meetings with industry experts such as Ed Dale and Dan Raine. But you know something? I'm tired, and I'll be thrilled to return home. To cuddle my dog. To squeeze my nephew. To hug my family. Freya Stark said: "To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world." I disagree. To awake in your own home, with your own routine, with your own comforts and friends surrounding - that is truly the most pleasant sensation. Cesare Pavese put it more direct: "Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things - air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it." Yes, that exploration of the world is a beautiful thing. But home? There's truly no place like it. And if you're not appreciating that today... maybe you should. Labels: quotes, ramblings
Struggling with your diet? Need to lose a few pounds? At the request of many friends and readers, today I'm slapping together details of the "Karl Moore diet plan" I've been following the past couple of months. Now, I'm going to tell you something. This plan works. It involves a few changes to your eating habits... a little moderate exercise... and one *really fun* day every week... But it has not only reduced my high blood pressure back down to normal rates, it's also taken me from a 34" waist right down to a very slim 30". Goodbye belly. A number of individuals have asked how it works - so in the spirit of my friend, Rebecca Marina, who always shares her great dieting tips with readers - here are my 10 simple rules. The Karl Moore Diet: Rule 1: Absolutely NO bread, potatoes, paste, rice or wraps. Rule 2: Don't be stupid. Cut out "bad" foods like chocolate and crisps. Rule 3: Enjoy SIMPLE meals. Fish, vegetables, some light meats. Typical dishes for me: smoked salmon with dill sauce... a simple kitchen salad... grilled chicken breast... Rule 4: Allow yourself unlimited mushy peas! Low in fat, low in energy density, high in fibre and protein, these are the secret to a great diet. Mix with a tablespoon of mint sauce for flavour. One tin constitutes a meal. Rule 5: Eat so that hunger is removed, but NOT so that you feel full. (This, incidentally, is the secret to living beyond 100!) Get out of the emotion and habitual cravings for food we all have. This is CRITICAL! Are you REALLY hungry? Make sure first! Rule 6: Do not limit yourself on "special foods." For example, I don't limit the amount of salad cream I put on salads... or the amount of alcohol I drink. I am NOT a traditional calorie counter! Rule 7: DRINK lots of water. Especially sugar-free flavoured water. Rule 8: Take MULTI-VITAMINS every single day, to ensure you get enough of everything. I usually take a couple just to make sure. Rule 9: Start WALKING MORE. And make it consistent. I currently walk for 40 to 60 minutes every single day. That's 3-4 miles. Find a nice route (I live in the city and walk out to the countryside), get an iPod, breathe deeply with every few steps - and just do it. Every day. STICK to it! Rule 10: ONCE A WEEK... SPLURGE OUT! Purposefully OVERLOAD on calories to ensure that your metabolism doesn't slow down and your body "get used" to less food. Every Saturday, I overload on Snickers, chip butties, chocolate, and all the things I do NOT eat during the week. Including bread and everything else. It makes a GREAT CHANGE... and helps you lose even MORE weight! (Splurging is actually quite hard as first. Forget the guilt - and lap it up!) * * * Now, remember - I'm not a physician, so consult your doctor before undertaking any new diet regime. However it works for me - and I've seen dramatic results - without feeling that I've "suffered" or felt hungry at any point. I'd be interested in feedback from any nutritionists that may be reading. But give it a go - and I look forward to hearing your success stories! :) Labels: beauty, fun, inspiration, ramblings, recommendations

This evening, a quick personal question to my dearest blog readers. I'm trying to remember the name of a certain expressive dance style, popular in the world of self-growth. It's called something like the Five Dances, or the Four Movements. But I just can't remember the name. Can you? What is it? Just post a comment at www.karlblog.com to let me know, or reply if you're reading by e-mail. Thank you! :) "In life, as in chess, forethought wins."

I don't know about you, but I plan to live until I'm 100.
So far, so good.
And that's one reason I really enjoyed reading this fantastic little article on the BBC's news site:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7250675.stm
It's all about how you can reach your own century, just by copying what other people in older-living regions do.
From residing in a more stable climate, to only eating until you're 80% full, it's a fascinating little article. You might just want to check it out. Same for the related Horizon feature:

And here's another nice little resource that I personally helped edit a few weeks ago:

In my last post, "The Teaching of an Atheist," I discussed the idea that...
... Maybe, just maybe, there was no such thing as God.
And wow! What a response I received.
This morning alone, a dozen messages have popped into my Inbox -- expressing many mixed views.
Now, just to recap: if you read the post, you'll realize that my intention was to ask ourselves whether there could be real meaning behind our lives, even if there was no God?
It was supposed to be inspiring to all, atheist or otherwise.
My conclusion was that the meaning of life... is the meaning you bring to life.
And that's a conclusion outside of the realms of whether God exists or not.
But wow... What an interesting series of responses I received on the subject!
I was called an aethiest. An insulter of humanity. Told I should be ashamed of myself. Informed that I was a confused being. And numerous unsubscribe requests.
And guess what?
I'm pleased.
Because I rattled a few cages.
I questioned something that was at the very foundation of many individuals: A religious belief system.
And, in some, it was a belief system so weak it caused a riotous reaction, the moment I asked you to consider the alternative.
Now, I don't know about you -- but I find that incredibly interesting.
Of course, as it happens, I am a believer in "my version" of God. All of my regular readers know that. Heck, one of my favourite phrases is "Let Go and Let God." I even have a God section.
But I'm still open to seeing the other side of the coin.
How about you?
Is your belief system so critical and important that you can't BEAR for it to be questioned?
Does that sound like the quality of a truly spiritually-developed individual to you?
Or are you open to fresh ideas... and just happy and stable in the freedom that is inherently YOU already?
Some people bury themselves in spirituality or religion - and scream at those that dare rock the foundations of their castle.
Well, I don't wish to rock any castles.
But I do invite you to begin enjoying the freedom that you always are.
Try this if you're unsure how: http://www.karlblog.com/blog/2007/06/quietening-mind.html
Using the technique of asking yourself "Is this a limiting thought?" - you can slowly release any desperate clutch you may have on a belief system, and begin enjoy freedom again.
You are the only constant in your world.
The rest is a limiting thought.
Of course, I'm not saying to let go of your belief system. Certainly not. Just be aware that it is ultimately a limiting belief (which, yes, may serve a wonderful purpose) - smile, and move on.
Could God really define himself in words, anyway? Drop the words, the "limiting beliefs," appreciate the world around you, and move on.
And then smile.
Because life is wonderful :)Labels: God, ramblings
Just FYI, here's a quick message I responded to a little earlier -- copied here for clarity.
Not everyone is happy to have their steadfast beliefs questioned.
Are you?
Also, thank you very much to the lady that sent the below message, as it allowed me time to respond -- and perhaps clear up a point that others have questioned.
My message was intended to be one of inspiration and hope to individuals that didn't believe in God, as opposed to a message to those that did.

Subject: Re: [Karl Blog] The Teaching of an Atheist
Had no idea you are an aetheist!! It goes against all science - QuantumPhysics -all the latest findings( and realizing all the ancient truths are viable)To lose faith in God is to discount the very you - your soul! And a spiritual person lives in the "now", creating his/her life daily with their high vibrations. Reading what you just wrote is the greatest insult to all humanity & God - we are contiunually evolving. I receive many emails ot the spiritual nature of all life and have no space and no desire to read what you just presented. I choose to let you go to wallow in your misery - therefore goodbye now and forever more. Remove me from your list now!
Thank you and Blessings (for you really need them and they are sincere)

My response:
I am not an aethiest :)
You may wish to re-read my post.
However it is acceptable, surely, to humour those thoughts.
To analyze life and our beliefs, and to understand the value in life *even if there wasn't a God*.
This, if anything, gives hope to the atheist -- who may be disheartened with life.
To simply believe something because we've been told it is not really a sensible way to live.
As an aside, I do believe in "my version" of God -- and spend much of my time wallowing in happiness :)
I hope my blog posts are testimony to that.

Today, I'm in search of fame.
Yes, it's that time again -- where I'm looking to replenish the bowels of Self Dev Radio and Writers FM with a whole host of new and exciting guests!
Now, in case you don't know, I am the main interviewer guy behind the two above stations -- broadcasting self-development and writing interviews, respectively.
As such, I'm currently on the look out for NEW and EXCITING GUESTS for the stations. Preferably individuals who are truly KNOWN within the industry.
For example, on Writers FM, I've interviewed the likes of Bernard Cornwell, Syd Field, and Edwina Currie. And I may just have Joanne Harris and Sue Grafton lined up.
Do YOU know any WELL-KNOWN AUTHORS that may be interested in sharing their secrets?
Elsewhere, and over on Self Dev Radio, I've spoken with wise-types such as James Arthur Ray, Fred Alan Wolf, and Hale Dwoskin.
Are YOU friends with any famous self-help gurus?
If you know someone in the public eye that just might be interested, write to me.
Send a mail to karl AT karlmoore.com, and put my name ("Karl Moore") in the subject line, to ensure it gets past the sp@m filter.
I'd be forever grateful -- and I *really* appreciate all of the help given.
Here's to a great series of fresh 2008 interviews! :)

This time last year, I made a koan.
I promised to post daily here at Karl Blog.com for a whole year.
And I've done it!
Every day, I've posted at least one message -- sometimes many. I've posted a whole bundle of Random Acts of Kindness, and an awesome series of Friday Factoids.
Occassionally, I've missed a day or two.
But, apparently, I'm only human.
It's been an amazing experience. I've found that being forced into writing each day has really kick-started my spirituality at the points I needed it most. I've discovered everything -- from the true size of our universe to the secret history of the keyboard. And I've done more RAKs than ever before -- especially on a Monday.
Yes -- daily blog writing is a koan I'd recommend to anyone.
(Incidentally, due to increased business matters, I've yet to decide what I'm going to do in future. I expect that during 2008 my blog posts will become slightly less frequent -- however hopefully much deeper than ever before!)
So... my question today is...
What's YOUR koan for 2008? (Learn more here.)
What can YOU do that will stretch your boundaries? What challenge will change your life?
What kind of new person will you be in exactly 366 days time? (Yup, 2008 is a leap year!)
As Mahatma Gandhi says... "Be the change you wish to see in the world."
Do it!
Your seconds on this earth are limited -- and are continuously being frittered away reading crazy posts like this.
Go, start living -- and enjoy every second!Labels: blog stuff, inspiration, ramblings
This is a random blog post.
Unlike most of my messages, it has no real theme.
Today's post is partially a Monday Random Act of Kindness, partially a message of inspiration, partially a greeting for the holidays, and wholly a big dollop of love.
Why?
Because Christmas is here. It's the time for you to open your heart and embrace the world around you.
You see, anyone that knows me... knows one thing.
I love this time of year!
It's magical. People everywhere -- at least those not caught in the crazed, ever-busy last-minute gift rush -- open their hearts and become just a little more loving.
It's the time we can officially be jovial and say "I LOVE YOU!" without feeling like an idiot.
It's rationed happiness.
Of course, you could be like that all year round -- and feel great as a result. But if you don't, AT LEAST do it for Christmas, and live every minute of the holidays to the full!
So, what can you do to get into the Christmas spirit?
Well, Random Acts of Kindness are a fantastic way to start!
They're small acts of kindness, done for the good of some stranger, solely for the purpose of making their like more joyful -- without expecting anything in return!
http://www.karlblog.com/blog/labels/random%20acts%20of%20kindness.html
Let me give you some examples.
This week, my mother donated much of her wages to abandoned cat and dog charities here in the North East of England. (And my mum has a lot of big bills to pay!)
On Saturday, I helped an elderly man overloaded with bags up the steep hill to Durham train station.
Last night, I gave a surprise visit to an elderly friend -- and decorated his otherwise-Christmas-free house with bright tinsel and wreaths and "Merry Christmas!" signs. They cost me £7 in total, and changed his mindset completely!
Those are just a few festive Random Act's of Kindness you can use to change someone else's life -- and make yourself feel great at the same time.
A Random Act of Kindness is, after all, simply an act of love.
And what is Christmas if not love?
Before signing off today, I'd like to give you a couple of quick Christmas gifts.
Firstly, if you haven't yet downloaded the Karl Blog.com Christmas screensaver, then click here to learn more and download your copy for free.
Secondly, I've prepared an official greetings card just for YOU!
Please... I'd like you to ask that you take two seconds out to visit the following site and listen to my message...
I guarantee it'll pep up your day.
And so, as this glorious day slowly retires and the sound of sleighbells gently ring in the distance, allow me to wish you... a very, very merry Christmas!
With love, with happiness, with a big smile and wide pupils... I wish you all the very, very best.
:)

Are you looking for ideas? Do you need to connect with your inner muse? Whether you're a writer, an artist, or just someone looking for fresh ideas, I thought I'd put together a quick blog post today with ideas for generating fresh, new ideas. So if you've found your creativity is sticking, then try these to help get your genius juices flowing again... 1. Take a walk. When you're stuck in front of a blank page, frustration can soon block your connection with the muse. A walk in the fresh air will boost your circulation and engage your senses. Ideas will pop into your mind more readily. 2. Visit an art gallery. Look at the stories behind the images and you'll have an endless supply of material to draw upon. 3. Sit in a cafe, drink tea and watch the world go by. Notice people's colours, mannerisms, style and posture. People that come and go may inspire a character or an idea for a painting. 4. Visit a new place. Take your camera and note-book. Endeavour to learn 20 interesting things about this place. 5. Go to a museum. Focus on one item that really takes your interest and learn as much about the object as possible. When you return, write about the item or paint it.
When you have a block, often the best way of dealing with it is to go out and focus on something else for a while. You'll find it easier to return with a fresh outlook, and you may just have a plethora of ideas at your disposal that will boost your creativity.

I had a curious dream this evening.
I rarely go to bed earlier than 4am, however accidentally dosed off on my new sofa just after midnight.
And I was suddenly transported to a memorial service, for Dudley Moore, held in my own apartment.
Present were Liza Minelli and a couple of close friends. In prayer, they were being appreciative of the life of Dudley Moore.
I however remained silent.
Until near the end.
When I suddenly said...
"To me, there will only ever be one Arthur. One sparkling Dudley Moore, with his wit, and his enthusiasm, and his charm.
"But amidst the tears here today, I've realized something even greater. I realized that we, as human beings, still find it way too difficult to wave goodbye to anything.
"We don't realize that it's better to have had something great in our lives for a short period of time - than to have never had it there at all.
"Surely that makes sense? And if it does, why aren't we all truly smiling - at the blessing we received?"
And at that point, a vision of Dudley Moore appeared -- smiling, in his Arthur character.
A little tipsy, he laughed and told us all to cheer up, did a little tap dance, then faded away.
We remained in silence -- until I woke up.
Yes, an unusual dream. But it really had an impact -- at least on me.
And so, today, take from this what you can...
Maybe you've recently lost something and are too busy focusing on the grief than the happiness of it's presence.
Or maybe you're taking life for granted, and not truly appreciating what you have today.
Either way -- take time out today to reflect.
And truly thank your own God for the blessings you have.
Happy Wednesday! :)Labels: inspiration, ramblings
Today, I'm asking a question...
I just bought myself a super-wizzy smoothie maker.
After many, many mistakes, I finally figured out how to use it ("You DON'T need to keep the middle filtration thing in while blending, Einstein!") -- and am drinking a good few smoothies every day.
But I want to know what else to add?
What fruit or additives do I add for increased energy? Skin-tone? Brain power?
Some people suggest protein powder (yuck). Others say you should add oils.
I'm confused. Which isn't difficult.
So, what do YOU think?
I want to make the perfect smoothie, jammed full of health benefits...
"What should I do? How should I make it? What do I need?"
Please mail me your suggestions to karl AT karlmoore.com -- before I put my vitamin A-Z into the blender.
I'll try the best out and let you know!
Thank you very much :)Labels: ramblings
Just a quick second post here on this Monday morning...
September 13th was officially "Positive Thinking Day" -- and one of my friends wrote about a contest to find the world's most positive individual:
http://www.selfdevelopmentblog.com/development/2007/08/are-you-most-positive-person-in-world.html
This morning, I learned that I'd been voted for -- and came second in the competition!
That means "officially" I'm the second most positive person in the world :)
But hey...
To paraphrase Homer: "I'm just trying to spread some joy. I'm not running for Jesus!"

I'm also giving away the competition prize to the person that sends the most inspirational personal story to me today (no rules, no limits) ... to karl @ karlmoore.com.

One of my good friends, Mel McIntyre, is getting married.
He's just sent me an invitation - and his gift list is the most inspirational I've ever seen.
He's not asking for crystal glasses. Or mocha towels. Or an ironing board cover from John Lewis.
His gifts include a mosquito net, a school textbook, a goat, garden seeds, a school desk, and blankets for a starving family.
Every single gift goes to help the less fortunate -- and, wow, what a FANTASTIC way to celebrate!
Mel is genuinely one of the most honest, friendliest and easy-going men I know.
He's written for The Stage, produced a series of GCSE revision books, and just snagged himself a children's book series publishing contract in Canada. You can learn more about him at www.topcopyguy.com.
You don't have to know Mel to donate.
How nice would it be if he receive a dozen special random gifts from the people that read this blog? Just another little Random Act of Kindness?
Here's the link to his "wedding list":
http://www.greatgifts.org/?GiftListID=2528&p=msguests
If you get chance today, make your donation and mention this blog. I'm going to.
You'll bring a smile to Mel's face... to my face... to YOUR face... and to the faces of many people less fortunate in the world.
Thank you :)Labels: inspiration, ramblings

It'll be held in Holland and she's currently collecting details of those interested!
If you are, here's where you can learn more:

Having spent a staggering four hours on hold with BT today, to cancel my new line order, today's post is something of a public service announcement.
If you live in the UK, you might have noticed something...
British Telecom have a monopoly on telephone lines. Although you can shift your service to other companies, the monthly service charge of £10.50 minimum is still forced onto you.
If you want a telephone you MUST deal with BT.
Well, why not join the petition to stop BT's monopoly?
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/NakedADSL/
Click on the above link and sign to join. You must be a British citizen.
It'll help to reduce the power over the telephone system currently held by BT.
Incidentally, I still haven't gotten my issue resolved. I have so many issues with BT, I practically have the Chairman's fax number on speed dial. My portable phone battery is now dying, I've been on hold that long.
Any tips? :)
If anyone reading this works for BT and can help -- please let me know!Labels: ramblings
Definitely.
It's not a particularly complex word. Yet millions of individuals from across the globe seem to have trouble with its spelling.
Today, I'd like to recommend a rather simple site designed to spread the good word:
http://www.d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com/
If you're routinely bemused by exactly which characters make up this word (and, most importantly, in which order), then click on the link today.
And please accept my apologies for being a pedant.
Happy random Tuesday! :)

Over the past few days, our experiment on the "Love and Acceptance" forum has been outstanding.
There has had a good dozen individuals posting on the board, showcasing their inner dark side. And I've had treble that number in personal messages -- each of which I've responded to with a private voice message.
(If you haven't got a reply yet, I have a small backlog, and ten messages still to respond to.)
And allow me an observation...
Despite what you might think, every single "absolute dark secret" that you have is shared.
The top "dark secrets" surrounded sexuality issues, loveless marriages, secret affairs, guilt, and money. I had about five of each of these.
In other words, your worries AREN'T unique.
They're don't necessarily even NEED to be covered up, because there's someone out there experiencing them also -- ready to support you.
So if you'd like to join in the experiment, then visit the new board at:
http://www.karlforum.com/index.php?board=8.0
And unveil yourself. Empty your heart. Show your dark side.
See what happens :)
(PS. Not sure what I'm talking about? Read this post.)
(PPS. Prize for the most interesting question on the forum today goes to Janey Lee, who asked whether I was single. I am, folks! Anyone want to play Cilla Black?More here: http://www.karlforum.com/index.php?topic=144.0)
