On my way to work the other day I listened to a wonderful interview by Darren Hardy (publisher of Success Magazine) and Dr. Wayne Dyer. During this interview Dr. Wayne Dyer spoke of creating your own happiness and your own success, and referenced a wonderful quote by Henry David Thoreau – “If one advances confidently in the direction of one’s dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”

For me, learning to calm the mind and focus on the present has been something that I have been keen on implementing into my life. At first I downloaded a couple podcasts and audio books from iTunes to introduce me to some basic meditations, but recently I actually took the initiative to sign up for a 6-hour Meditation Workshop.
