lieutenantThe Lieutenant

by Kate Grenville

As a boy, Daniel Rooke was always an outsider. At school, he learned to hide his clever thoughts from his cruel peers; at home, his parents were bemused by their bookish son. Daniel could only hope - against all the evidence - that he would one day find his place in life. By 1788, Daniel has become Lieutenant Rooke, astronomer with the First Fleet as it lands on the unknown shores of New South Wales. As the newcomers struggle to establish a settlement for themselves and their cargo of convicts, and attempts are made to communicate with those who already inhabit this land, Rooke sets up his observatory to chart the stars. But the place where they have landed will prove far more revelatory than the night sky. Out on his isolated point, Rooke comes to know the local Aboriginal people, and forges a remarkable connection with one child, which will change his life in ways he never imagined.

Someone
… so you’re looking for answers but you’re not entirely sure about the questions.

But you know you have to become someone.

A SOMEONE.

This film is a dash through ‘the journey of life’ and contains a huge paradox which might not make sense … at first.

You will need to pay careful attention.

Blinking not advised.

"Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. You can see that when you think how the friends that really listen to us are the ones we move toward, and we want to sit in their radius as though it did us good, like ultraviolet rays."
-- Brenda Ueland

: the role of hostile cognition

People who feel socially rejected are more likely to see others’ actions as hostile and are more likely to behave in hurtful ways toward people they have never even met, according to a new study. http://adjix.com/4y9m

The tech event season is beginning to heat up. If you're a speaker, you know that standing in front of a crowd isn't half as hard as getting critical feedback on your talks. People who disliked it will generally remain silent or opt for a snarky tweet or two. Those close to you will tell you "You did great!" no matter how poorly you performed. Getting the feedback you need to improve can be the most difficult part of the whole process. Until now. Meet SpeakerRate.

SpeakerRate is designed to help you promote the talks you're giving - and get that critical feedback you're seeking.

Do you ever feel that within you is the potential to achieve greatness yet you don’t know exactly what it is you want to achieve or how you’re going to get here?

Is there a goal perhaps that you want to achieve such as losing weight or quitting smoking?

Is there a certain part of your being that you desire to change or perhaps improve in an effort to enhance your personal development?

Is there a fear dwelling within you that you want to diminish?

Is there a part of your life that you feel is incomplete in some way?

The fact is, 10 out of 10 people would answer yes to at least one of these questions. The REAL question pertains not to what, but to how can we successfully achieve, attain, overcome or enhance some aspect of our lives. There are thousands of methods than a person can turn to improve themselves but the answer always lies within your mind.

At the forefront of every decision, strength, weakness, ability or desire is a thought. Our thoughts dominate our minds and create our reality both directly and indirectly.

Our outer world is truly just a reflection of our inner world. How we view circumstances, situations, outcomes, relationships, etc. determines how we progress in our lives. Therefore, to improve or enhance any part of our outer world, we must first focus our energy on our inner world.

It starts with the mind. Many experts agree that our minds are the maps that determine the direction that we take in life. Therefore, to progress in the "right direction", we must make sure our maps are accurately programmed.

One of the most effective ways to accurately program the human mind is through hypnotherapy. By positively aligning your thoughts with your area of enhancement, hypnotherapy will create a definite focus for your mind. The result is positive progression.
