The Information Age and Digital Downloads

The wwww – yes four w’s – wonderful world wide web has given us unprecedented access to information of every flavor in the Universe!

Personal Development, Self Improvement, Spiritual Enlightenment, ‘How to……pretty much anything’, Goal Setting, Realizing/Achieving Your Dreams to Yes! You CAN Do it! are all incredibly well catered for on the ‘net.

And no doubt every day there is a new incarnation of that which has gone before – all be it with a modern twist. Yet you ‘the market’ seem to have an insatiable appetite for this work. Why is that I wonder? We live in a time of amazing wealth [yes I know - there's a downturn right now - not new - we have had those before - and no doubt we'll experience them again], but we are still searching for the Holy Grail, the magic silver bullet that will turn the pumpkin into a golden coach – riches and wealth forever – Yay!!

I bet you are familiar with the incredible hooplah around ‘The Secret’ and the subsequent emergence of all the  ‘teachers’ as seen on the CD and/or Oprah.

Personally, I loved The Secret and the re-emergence seemingly from nowhere of a huge demand to buy or see the movie and to learn more. Perhaps it has served to increase our awareness that life could possibly be a little better – perhaps a strong signal that most of us are generally discontented with our lot. Rampant materialism has not dampened our inner yearning for peace and happiness.

Where do we go to find peace and contentment? Well, we go to the same place we have always gone – or where those that have ‘the knowledge’ go – within.

I’ll save any more comment on going within for another day – suffice to say that once we ‘get’ this we are ready to embark on a journey of discovery and wonderment. We still have to function in this world of course, you know, earn a living, socialize, have fun, eat, sleep.

But the fundamentals always remain the same – get clear – set a goal – take action. Align it with your values [what's important to you] and set sail!

Which brings me to one of the most popular writings of all time around these principles – ‘Think and Grow Rich’ by Napoleon Hill. This book is still selling or being offered as part of various packages and still being read despite the somewhat archaic language.  The principles in this book still hold true to this day.

Another well recognized writing on success and wealth is ‘The Science of Getting Rich’ by Wallace Wattles. Many have attributed their success to Wattles’ teachings. His book was written around 1912, Think and Grow Rich about 1937.

Both books are available in digital format for download. If you would like a free copy, make a comment to this fact with your email address and I will email a copy to you.

There’s plenty more similar books available in my digital library – but they are for another day.

I think I will call myself a ‘Digital Coach’ – read first and then let’s set some goals and take some action!!!
