Tim Sanders and Abundant Living

I attended the Dallas Social Media Network monthly meeting this past Thursday. The featured speaker was Tim Sanders who was on a book tour to promote his latest book, Today we are Rich.

The content of the presentation was that of positive thinking and energy applied to career, business and personal contexts. The material is well-traveled and available in numerous delivery mechanisms ranging from books, workshops, seminars and other contexts. A particularly spiritual expression of this idea realm can be found in most New Thought spiritual organizations that had relatively recent roots in 19th century Transcendentalist thinkers such as Ralph Emerson and Ernest Holmes.

All this said, Sanders possesses high caliber speaking skills with an energetic delivery style that gains momentum throughout the presentation. He packs a lot of ideas and personal experiences into a 45 minute talk.

Topics discussed included:
  • Build confidence, diminish fear
  • Your passion is what you love to do, your purpose is what you do for others
  • Find your passion, then find your purpose
  • Find a way to incorporate your passion into your purpose
  • Avoiding negative thinking
  • Don't allow negative people to sap your positive energy
  • Read lots of books, do not count scanning the internet as true reading
  • Reading non-fiction is a great way to gain lots of powerful knowledge
  • You control technology, don't allow technology to control you
  • You control your mind, don't let your mind control you
  • You control your life, don't let your life control you
  • Move forward, not sideways, with your life and career
  • Rich involves richness of life, not necessarily a financial interpretation, although getting your act together regarding confidence, personal growth and positive practices should improve all life categories
