This is a two part video, I didn’t realise I was rambling so long

These videos are all about beliefs, how they are formed and how we go about changing them. Remember time is limited in the videos so I couldn’t go as in depth as I would have liked but hopefully you will get the gist the topic.

Beliefs: Part 1

Beliefs: Part 2

This is the first in a new series of quick personal development video tips. The aim is to have one every week and they will be 5 minutes or less.

Now this is my first video for the series and it is not brilliant quality so if you have suggestions on how to make this series better then please let me know as I am open to suggestions.

Hope you enjoy the video.

10 beautiful pieces of ambient music

Steven Aitchison — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 21:17:08 +0000

Music has the power to touch our very souls and none more so than ambient music. I have collected 10 pieces of beautiful music from my collection and found them on youtube and listed them all here. I hope you enjoy these pieces, they really do have the power to transport you to another world.

10 Beautiful pieces of ambient music	Artist/song
	Brian Eno – An ending Ascent This is one of my favourite pieces. I first heard it driving from Edinburgh to Glasgow on a beautiful summers night as the sun was going down, it’s simply amazing.
	Arvo Part – Spiegel im Spiegel This is another beautiful piece of piano music from the Estonian composer. I remember hearing this on a dark night in 1999 looking out the window over Glasgow city centre and I was hooked.
	Simple Minds – Shake off the ghosts Simple minds are not known for their intrumentals but they actually recorded quite a lot of them. This one I heard on a winters night, it was snowing and I was in my girlfriends house at the time. The lights were out, the orange lights outside showed the snow falling heavily and I was standing at the window alone. It’s a moment and a tune I will remember forever.
	Bach – Sheep may safely graze – performed by St. Martin-in-the-Fields I used to be one of those people who thought classical music was boring and a bit dull. However that changed about 10 years ago and this is one of my favourite classical pieces.
	Harold Budd & Brian Eno - The Plateaux of Mirror First Light Two geniuses at work. This is a beautiful piano piece. I heard this over 10 years ago and appreciate more every time I listen to it.
	Vangelis – Hymne I love Vangelis’ work and this is one of my favourites from them. It’s a bit 80’s but it is still a beautiful piece.
	Pachelbel – Canon in D When I was married a few years ago we had a harpist playing this in the background and it was beautiful. One of my all time favourites even though it might be a bit cliched to classical music lovers.
	Brian Eno – Silver Morning There is something indescribable about this piece. It gets hold of you and transports you into another world, amazing.
	Full Sail by Ryan Farish: I heard this last year and think it is just a beautiful piece of music. It’s upbeat but ambient.
	Diatonis – Aurora I discovered this on youtube a few months back and fell in love with it.

22 Of the best motivational videos online free

UPDATE: There was a problem with this post for the last few days but it has now been rectified. It seems that tables cannot be put into the database, even though it has been there for 4 months, I think another problem with the server.

For the last week or so I have been scouring the internet for free personal development videos, one of them I showed you yesterday; Steve Jobs. Well I have finally managed to get 22 great videos from some great personal development speakers and inspirational figures. I could have spent weeks doing this as I watched videos until my eyes were square.

you will probably notice there is a lack of female speakers in this. This was not deliberate there were not a lot of female speakers out there, the ratio was about 20:1, that’s 20 men to every 1 woman. Not a good statistic.

Anyway I have spent all day putting this together and I am proud to present 22 of the best personal development and inspirational figures of today.

Steve Jobs – An inspiration

Steven Aitchison — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 08:22:37 +0000

I thought I would share this video with you about Steve Jobs at a college graduation. He tells three stories which are very inspiring and I urge you to watch the whole video. It shows what can happen when you have a vision.

Steve Jobs is an inspirational person to me and is one of those people you never tire rooting for. I find all successful people fascinating and believe there is a lot that can be learned form them. People like Steve offer an alternative view of life and lets me ask questions of my life, of life itself. In an indirect way it changes my life as the questions i ask are invariably better questions, which receive quality answers.

I will post videos in the future, don’t worry I won’t inundate you with them just inspirational ones like this.

Enjoy the video
