Grow Your Garden

Grow Your Garden

Have you ever practice gardening? A down to earth exercise, nothing compare like preparing the dirt, planting, watering, fertilizing and waiting for the results.
I love gardening it’s been a way for me to discover God and the work that is taking place beneath the ground.
The seed by itself doesn’t have the power to grow, all the information is there, but by itself the seed is dormant waiting for the right situation to perform what it was created for. Something else is needed the power of the Universe, from the field of energy comes the “magic”. The life giving that is God, let not confuse God of the religious and God of the spiritual. We know there is only one God and as human we’ve weaved, over the last 2000 years if not longer, an image of God that is false. God is a creator not a punisher; we are the punisher when we need to be creator also.
And just like the seed waiting for the opportunity to grow and reproduce itself so are we the huge difference is that we have a choice of what we want to be and we can choose to be or not to be, that is entirely up to us. When we decide not to be that what we know we should be we are punishing ourselves and separating us from God the life giving force, the power behind the seed. It’s all up to us to decide what we want to be and then move in the general direction God will take over and make it grow. Our job is to plant, to fertilize, to water, and waiting for the results. When the time comes we will harvest the fruits and enjoy the results of our determination and patience.
The different steps of our growth then are our responsibilities to attend too.
1. Maintaining a physical attitude that allow for the energy to flow through. Developing eating habits feeding the body with the proper food whatever your body needs. Exercising daily keeping a fairly strong physical body, watching abuse, it is ok to indulge once in a while, keeping control of it is the key to healthy living.
2. Mental health is also our responsibility whatever we allow in our mind is there to stay and influence future decisions. The choice of thoughts is a very important part of our well being, so chose carefully and wisely.
3. Spiritual development is a matter of choice and an important, if not the most important of all the choice we make. To recognize that we are beings of intelligence and that we have the choice through our free will. To know and recognize that we are connected to a higher field of consciousness we call God and allow the flow of energy to take place through us is important in our personal growth and development.
4. Being of service to others, usually we plant seeds in groups to allow for pollination so it is with our personal growth we need to interfere with others to be “pollinated” and in return receive the same from others.
These are all basic, simple but important steps to follow to reach the level of consciousness desired. It isn’t hard to follow a few steps it’s a decision and when the decision is made the field of energy kicks in and amazing things start to happen. Just like deciding to push a switch to release the energy called electricity will make the darkness disappear.
Sometime one needs help to get started we extending an invitation to anyone wanting to know more or help anyone to get going.

Be a Creator or A Victim

2010-08-10T08:29:00.001-07:00

Everyone on this planet experiences joyful moments and moments of trials and pain. Our survival depends on our reaction to the process. Whenever something great happen in one’s life, congratulations and happiness flourish, and when an not so good experience is thrust upon us we are readily willing to blame everything outside of our self, blame the Universe or the system and that my friend is choosing the victim’s role.
Let’s try instead to learn from the experience and anchor down our values to the experience. What a difference it can make to choose the creative way instead of the victim’s way? When I first busted my knee at work I wasn’t very happy with the results, especially when lying in bed, in an hotel room after my flight was cancelled, my knee the size of a soccer ball in agonizing pain with nothing to do but lay there. Meditating on my situation looking for a purpose, very quickly the answer came. A month or so prior I asked the question “how can I retire from my job keeping my income or better?” Well I received my answer instantly, there it was lying on that hotel bed away from home in pain I realized, the answer to my prayer, I am retired with full income for the last 14 month. Another thing I wanted to have time to do the things I wanted to do for so long, one of them, writing this blog everyday as much as possible. And here I am doing what I love, working from home, writing, creating, having time for family and friends, taking courses, learning something new every day. Next time I ask for something I will make sure to be very specific. And as Jack Canfield explain, event+response=outcome. The way we choose to respond to any events in our life will dictate the outcome, we have total control of our life. Did you know that the day we were born we know the moment of our death? We just don’t know how or where. According to Heisenberg theory of uncertainty it all makes sense.
This is all for today, short but much to think about if you really wanted to be a creator.

Asking... The right way

2010-06-25T15:21:00.000-07:00

We’ve learned since childhood on how to ask first we should say “please” then we should say “thank you”, and that is quite simple enough, “please” and “thank you”. As we grow up we like to mess things up a bit and make things somewhat complicated and difficult. Perhaps just so that we can create some challenges in our life because we find that life itself has no challenge what so ever so we maturely are going to create some just to make things a bit more challenging and perhaps more interesting.

To make sure not to receive what we asked for and to ascertain our theory that nothing we try works we are going to emphasize a few point when performing the task of asking. We are going to complicate things some just to make sure we deserve to receive what we are asking for.

So first we are going to ask with the pretense that we are not going to receive it. It being whatever it is we are asking for.

Asking with doubt will certainly guaranty the non arrival of what we asked for and then we have reason to complain and blame everything outside of ourselves literally throwing the responsibilities somewhere else but where it belongs. By the way when we are complaining we are becoming a living breathing “Crap” magnet.

Next we are going to ask and then attend to the fact that we don’t really deserve what we are asking for or that we have to “do something” to deserve what we are asking for and here I am not taking about the passive way of being deliberately ignoring the opportunities that appear after we asked, I am talking about expected to give back or pay back or having to do something. Really the only one thing we need to perform is “gratitude” yes indeed that hard core function that create more good than we can even dream of “gratitude” and that’s the only *thing* we *need* to do to be able to receive in abundance.

The Universe, God, the Higher self whatever words you want to use here does not ask for anything to compensate for what we are receiving and for us raised in the Christian belief we know it has all being paid for lock stock and smoking barrels by Jesus the son of the most high and we have the full resources of that belief and relying on it makes perfect sense. Remember that one “whatever you ask in my name shall be given to you” (my paraphrase, I am not a bible scholar)

And then we want to “serve God” as if there is anything we can do here, let’s get real shall we?!? We just received an bran new grand baby girl and I in wonder of what is right here before my eyes from a single cell are arms, legs, feet, hands, a head with eyes and hears and the whole body completely perfectly formed with billions of cells all here for a purpose *LIFE* I am sorry to say I can’t do this. I am standing before a 500 years old first growth cedar, it takes 11 people to go around it arms extended I can’t do something like either, can you?!? How on heart can I be of service to God? Ho and by the way he is not expecting anything in exchange for the baby girl or for the three. Just for me to say thank you and enjoy it. So if I want to do something then I am going to be of service to my fellow women and men not too sure how good I am I’ll work at it with all my might and eventually I will be hearing the words” well done good and faithful servant enter now in my kingdom” And all is good.

And if you are confuse on how to ask get hold of me and together we can sort it out.

What's in it for me?!?

2010-06-14T16:55:00.000-07:00

What is in it for you in this life? What is it that you want more than anything else, that one thing you can dedicate your life to if and when you know what it is, what is it?
We hear a people complaining more often than hearing people sharing how great and fulfilled their life is. We hear you complaining about what is it that *you* don’t want, do *you* know what you want? Well perhaps you might want to take the time discovering what it is that you want instead of continuously complaining about what it is that you don’t want. And since you *know* what it is that you don’t want, just reverse the process live your life according to what it is that you want.
So what is it that you want?!? What is it that gets you to dedicate your life to and allow you to operate in a spirit of peace, joy, happiness and love, what is it that drives your spirit to the high point of perfection. That one thing you, and only you are so good at, that one thing that allow you to be fully alive and fully happy, what is it? Can you describe it, can you talk about it? Are you clear of where you are going, and if you are you eventually will end up there, simple and powerful, perhaps to simple…
If anything remember this “Work diligently. Diligently. Work patiently and persistently. Patiently and persistently. And you’re bound to be successful. Bound to be successful.” Know what you want go toward it and you are going to get there. When traveling from point A to point B if you continue traveling you will eventually get to point B. If doubt creeps in you will keep focused on the destination not the origin, the same applies here focus on your goal and you will get there.
So you’re not sure what your passion is, what is your purpose in life? Perhaps you don’t know and that’s fine but the sooner you find out the better things will fall in place for you. It is your job to find out why you are here for. Following that thought here is a small exercise for you to do to find out. Get pen and paper and write down the first thing that comes to your mind when asking the question “why am I here for.” Then ask the question again and without thinking or judging again, write the answer do that 20 times giving yourself a time limit of no more than 30 seconds to answer the question. When you are done look at the pattern that develop and now you have a very good idea why you are here for.
Now go toward your passion, it might mean some drastic changes taking place and that’s fine let it happen easily, effortlessly, thoughts will come and guide you toward your passion. People will appear in your life to assist you in your search it will all fall into place. Situation will develop pointing the right direction you just need to follow the signs and when darkness come it’s time to sick council and rest for a while, no panic just rest and enjoy the view.
If I can help you reach your destination be sure to get in touch.

Why are You here?!?

2010-06-12T06:23:00.000-07:00

That question should be asked of student the first day entering the first grade, this small exercise need to be the very first non graded exercise every child in every country should be subjected too. Why are you here, the first day of the beginning of each school term to start with answering that question, “why are you here” in this life, what is your purpose. Writing down the answer to that question, then answering it spontaneously, do it 20 times without thinking just write what comes to mind the very first thing indiscriminately. Check the answers and notice the pattern that arise and find out what is really at play right there right inside of you. Each student right through grade school every year the first day of school, to do that exercise and then continue on with college and university and even when preparing a resume for an interview.
When conducting an interview the first question I ask “why are you here for” and every time I received the same answer “for a job” or something similar. I then pause for a minute and ask again” no why are you really here for” in this life. And again I notice the blank look on the face of the person I interview. In my many years of interviewing candidates, very few caught on to the meaning. In truth we know why we are here for we just don’t think it is important to be fully conscious of it and I think we should be conscious of it and isn’t that the responsibility of educators, parents, teachers, church ministers, coaches, anyone involved in the education of children to bring to consciousness all that is needed for a child to perform at the top of his/her inner abilities? Many candidate that I interviewed for a job, when asked the question came to realize that this was not what they wanted to do for the rest of their life and instead went on to something else, something different and at time drastically different.
In his book The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire, Deepak Chopra wrote “Through synchrodestiny, you can finally become the person the universe intended you to be—as powerful as desire, as creative as spirit. All it takes is an eagerness to join the cosmic dance, and a willingness to seek the miracles of the soul.”
Are you willing? Give it a try and see what happen next, might just blow your socks off. Our limitation is caused by the fact that we are riddle with fears, fears instigated by the beliefs we created in our life, in response to situations that occurred through life. We choose to respond to what we observe and thus create beliefs according to how we feel in the moment. Those beliefs are responsible for how we respond and act today. It is time to correct the course of our beliefs and change the ones that are working against you.
Letting go of the formed beliefs can, at time, cause fears to creep in and fear can actually stop you dead in your track causing all kind set back one of them being procrastination, yes indeed procrastination is caused by fear of the unknown. The misery and short change we know, we are used to, is better than the unknown. Very powerful thing fear, and when facing the fears and challenging them will certainly bring about the discovery of possibilities. Quoting from past fear facing individuals we can find strength and encouragement in facing our own fears and staring them down to a manageable size.
Ralph Waldo Emerson tells us: “God will not have his work made manifest by cowards.” And pleads with us: “Always, always, always, always, always do what you are afraid to do ”assures us: “Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.”
Hafez says: “Fear is the cheapest room in the house. I would like to see you living in better conditions.”
Paulo Coelho says this in The Alchemist: “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”
Abraham Maslow (see Notes on Motivation and Personality): “It seems that the necessary thing to do is not to fear mistakes, to plunge in, to do the best that one can, hoping to learn enough from blunders to correct them eventually.”
The Roosevelts (first Eleanor then Franklin): “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.” And: “The only thing to fear is fear itself.”
Frank Herbert (from Dune): “Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
Wallace Wattles, the author of The Science of Getting Rich says this in his great little book The Science of Being Great (see Notes): “You can never become a great man or woman until you have overcome anxiety, worry, and fear. It is impossible for an anxious person, a worried one, or a fearful one to perceive truth; all things are distorted and thrown out of their proper relations by such mental states, and those who are in them cannot read the thoughts of God.”
So face the fears, stare them down and act upon them and see how fast they disappear or at least shrink to a manageable size. What would you do if you were not afraid if you knew you could not fail? Then go do it.
You have a dream that dream was generated from somewhere deep down inside, just go back deep down and visit with your inner higher self, with God and discuss the dream and how to make it happen. Then answer is not out there but right inside of you reach in and find that answer that is waiting for you to unlock it and set free.
What have you go to lose? Or better yet, what have you got to gain?

What do I want

2010-06-08T16:00:00.000-07:00

What Do I Want?!?
The most “happy” question that one can ask him/her self, “what do I want?!? “ This is a gratitude question, a question that raises possibilities, that creates and open the doors to “anything can happen” attitude, it allow for energy flow and the birth of ideas, new plans, new goals. It rejuvenates and gives life.
What do I want, generate answers, and allow life to flow again, un-constricted, free of the feelings of failure, lack. That magical question brings feeling of empowerment, success and extinguishes the flame of victimization. No more feeling sorry for one self instead, head lifted high one is ready to conquer one’s life and be in charge, reaching deep down and finding the answer that allow the growth and development of one’s own desire.
When a complaint arises, it means that an unfulfilled desire is surging to the surface and like the world of dream speaks in the enigmatic language of the inner higher self, the language of God. Translating the message into everyday words demand for a little work, the “inner” work, something we are not use to do. Looking inside for the answer, learning to trust the inner voice of wisdom that gives proper direction, can be a real challenge. Regaining the use of intuition as a daily routine will allow for a deeper inner peace. The way of intuition is the way of translation of the messages from above, as we know it, but in reality the messages are not from “out there” but from within.
The practice of quiet time and meditation will allow the flow of images, feelings and emotions which are the language of the inner higher self. The interpretation of the messages happens suddenly, effortlessly through observation of natural laws. Plants don’t try to grow they just grow, rain don’t try to fall it just does. The earth itself is not trying to spin it does. We human have that extra gift, we can chose what we want, that what’s make us different than the rest of creation “free will.” We decide what we want, we are not bound by anything, only our own judgment and Universal laws.
Here is our choice at anytime we can decide to be a creator, a challenger or a coach or we can decide to be nothing. Our choice, our responsibility whatever we decide we want we can have it or do it, just need to practice a little and live the life we choose.
After the question is asked and the answer comes forth we can find that to achieve the goals we set we are going to need tools. In its infinite wisdom the God provide many tools that are available to us, just reach into the toll box and use the tools available. One of the tool I favor is “The One Command”, by accessing that part of our brain not used most of the time we have the ability to create anything we like, many discovery were made by accessing that part of the brain, and that’s the only difference between an average Joe and a genius, knowing how to access that part of us and discover its abilities. Getting in contact with the inner higher self will give us the power to create the life we want and or to change it at will. Sometime we do this unknowingly and we wonder at the results. Actually we can learn how to take control of those “by chance” time of short lived successes”, we can learn to have “luck” like we like to say. Luck is nothing more than a planned set of steps that leads to the realization of all and any enterprise.
Learning to access and make use of the hidden talents that reside within, become conscious of the inner higher self by using the One Command to ask for anything we wish to accomplish in our life. But first comes the question *what*do*I*want* it all start right here so what are you waiting for?

let's overdose....on Serotonin

2010-06-02T08:34:00.000-07:00

Have you heard of Serotonin?!? It’s a drug and it causes a certain euphoria, it makes you feel good all over. And not like any other drug it is contagious; when you are under the effect of Serotonin people directly in contact with you will also feel good. The pharmaceutical use Serotonin in the preparation of those wonderful little anti-depressant. Serotonin also none has 5HT (5-hydroxytryptamine) has a positive effect on the nervous system, 80% of Serotonin produce by the brain is found in the abdominal tract and the nervous system. One of the effects is to regulate the mood, lack of it is the main cause of light depression and the abundance of it causes a well being and a certain euphoria, a lightness of attitude.
A rise in Serotonin in the blood stream causes a rise in self confidence, where by create a negative response to aggression. Serotonin is not degraded after use and it’s collected for further purposes. One of them to inhibit depression whenever needed. Serotonin is active in the process of healing off wounds and stop bleeding. Serotonin is, in part, produced in the Pineal gland known for over 400 years to be the seat of the Soul. Lack of Serotonin is the cause of aggression and impairment in responsibilities, and one most devastating disorder OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Behavior.
Serotonin helps maintain a "happy feeling," and seems to help keep our moods under control by helping with sleep, calming anxiety, and relieving depression. Other functions in the human body including the control of appetite, sleep, memory and learning, temperature regulation, mood, behaviour, cardiovascular function, muscle contraction, endocrine regulation and depression. Subsequent to his discovery of Serotonin, no physiological substance known possesses such diverse actions in the body as does serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved in the transmission of nerve impulses. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers within the brain that allow the communication between nerve cells. Some of most effective way of raising serotonin levels is with exercise. Studies have shown that serotonin levels are increased with increased activity and the production of serotonin is increased for some days after the activity. This is the safest way of increasing serotonin levels and many other benefits result from regular exercise. Serotonin levels can also be controlled through the diet. A diet deficient in omega-3 fatty acids may lower brain levels of serotonin and cause depression. Complex carbohydrates raise the level of tryptophan in the brain resulting in a calming effect. Vitamin C is also required for the conversion of serotonin.
One of the most valuable exercises for the production of Serotonin and feeling good experience is the practice of the power of intention and the practice of acts of kindness. When you do something good for someone else, the recipient has Serotonin released in the nervous system and so do you. And even better people present witnessing the act of kindness also experience release of the wonder drug in their nervous system, creating happy feelings all around. The marvel of it all is that Serotonin is not depleted so when needed one can bring back the happy memory and create another burst of joy and well being. Creating a power of intention toward another person also causes the production of Serotonin, unknown to the person generating the intention is the result caused in the recipient, record of distance healing and many other reactions have been reported during scientific experiments.
Not only we become recipients of a kind action or word or even a kind thought, it is indeed a simple way to bring healing to the whole planet. So let practice the power of intention and acts of kindness and lets overdose on Serotonin shall we?

Building from inside out

2010-05-31T07:14:00.000-07:00

Where’s your motivation coming from? Are you doing everything you can to accumulate money, praise and toys? Well, that’s be external motivation. If that’s your PRIMARY motivation than you’re losing out on some opportunities for higher levels of creativity and performance.
“You must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the secondary consequences.”¹
So what is that you love doing? Do that and let the external flow to you as a by-product of what you have passion for.
Money may not buy happiness but happiness may help you get rich.²
Total internal locus of control instead of external reverberation of looking for happiness in external motivations, is the most shift that can happen in one’s life, to bring to realization the most inner desire.
To extract from the higher self, to dig deep within searching for the “passion” in your life will bring the true reward, external “toys”, and by toys understand it is the description of anything you are looking for externally thinking that’s what is going to make you happy. External toys’ happiness last only for a short time, then you will need to find another one and another one until you realize the futility of “toy” collection.
Ask yourself the question “what is my purpose in life?” Take the time to pose and write down your thoughts, anything that comes up. Anything that you want to accomplish is first born as an idea, a picture, no matter what it is first it’s an inner desire. Than by itself bring more joy than the finish product. Creativity, is the mode of revelation of who you truly are let it not be wasted, remember that a desire not fulfilled will turn against you and burn from the inside out, different forms occur some of them like the over use of alcohol, drugs, compulsions, even medication and one of the latest product energy drinks, are guaranty to cause more damage than the plague of over 100 years ago. Looking for external stimulus is hiding from the inner thoughts that are waiting to be born. What is your purpose in life, what are you here for? And that’s where it’s start.
“Purpose also becomes a more powerful source of energy when it moves from being externally to internally motivated. Extrinsic motivation reflects the desire to get more of something that we don’t feel we have enough of: money, approval, social standing, power or even love. ‘Intrinsic’ motivation grows out of the desire to engage in an activity because we value it for the inherent satisfaction it provides. Researchers have long found that intrinsic motivation tends to prompt more sustaining energy. A study conducted by the University of Rochester’s Human Motivation Research Group found, for example, that people whose motivation was authentic—defined as ‘self-authored’—exhibited more interest, excitement and confidence, as well as greater persistence, creativity and performance than a control group of subjects who were motivated largely by external demands and rewards.”³
How about you, where is your motivation coming from? There is nothing wrong with the toys, the money but if that is your primary motivation, it is extrinsic, externally motivated. And you are losing out on opportunities for creation at a higher level.
The secret is to follow you heart, building your life from the inside out, doing what really matter to you and doing those things that create good feelings, with or without the possible rewards.¹
The big question, what is it that you like doing?
Take the time and review your inner guidance system, search for that inner driving force and let it out, you won’t regret it.

Lesson froma rat

2010-05-26T08:45:00.000-07:00

I never thought I could learn a great life lesson by noticing how rats can outsmart me from getting caught n a trap.
In the manufacturing of soap we use shea butter, rats are attracted to shea butter, it’s candy to them. So I set up a “sticky trap” to catch the culprits. The next morning I go and check the trap and I can see that a rat was there but didn’t get caught, the trap was on the floor and foot print on the glue. The amazing thing is that rats stop coming all together, very smart refusing to partake in a libation of pure delight, for a rat, and choosing to live instead. Great lesson from a rat isn’t it?
How smart are we in avoiding tall the little traps that are constantly presented to us for the purpose of literally shortening our life? That one more drink that can get us in so much trouble. Or that extra bite of such delicious food that we are craving and can also cause trouble for our health. All those nasty little habits that we have and that we know are destructive to the way we want to live. By refraining from those habits and changing the way we act and do things, just like the rats, we decide what is best for us, the quick little reward that only last a few minutes or living to the fullest of our hidden abilities? It is a choice and it is up to us to decide what we want. Take a few minutes and write down 5 of those nasty little habits, what are you nibbling on right before the snap of the trap? The first step to change is awareness of the behaviors that can cause pain and suffering, so write the short list and then set up to change the habits.
By identifying those things that lead to suffering and changing the habits one then become aware of those things that lead to happiness and proceed by practicing those instead and refraining for the former. Adding to the list there is those habits of a non physical nature like judging and criticizing or worse holding grudges. Did you know that holding a grudge is like drinking poison and hopping the other person will suffer from it or even dies? The things we choose for relief are actually working in opposite of what we are trying to accomplish.

The next step is to celebrate all the good occurrences in your life, first you will need to look for them to identify all those great things that take place in your life and soon your subconscious mind will filter and show you only the good things, so start now and make a list of 50 things you can be grateful for and rejoice with and for what you have already. Small things like hot shower and electricity, a roof over your head, food in your plate, acknowledge the good stuff and more of it will come to you. By focusing on what you want instead of what you don’t want you will end up creating the life you are dreaming of. Celebrate today and be happy for no reason, Just because.
Are you ready for the next step? Have you decided what it is that you want? Are you ready to do what needs to be done to fulfilled your inner most dreams? Make a decision right now, today.

You Cannot Fail

2010-05-24T07:15:00.000-07:00

Has that grab you for a title?!? You cannot fail, what is the first thought that come to mind? Look at it, observe that one thought and decide is this that I want? When I say, no matter how big your dream is, you cannot fail do you believe that you cannot fail? Observe the thought and recognize it don’t judge it just observe, the first thought that come up will tell you why you are where you are today.
If you knew you cannot fail what would could you accomplish? Here again observe the thought that comes up, what does it say? Listen carefully and decide is this what I want then decide what it is that you want. Perhaps it is time to dream and dream big; write it down big what is your ultimate dream in life, if you knew you could not fail what would you do? Go ahead take a minute and write it down. Done? Awesome. Now how can you align your life with that intention?! Then ask yourself what can I do, no matter how small, to gain some control over that situation. And know that any action toward your goal no matter how small will conquer all fears, so go ahead a take action whatever comes to mind, in dedication to your goal. And whenever you feel fear wanting to take control, take a couple of deep breath, relax for minute and write down a few things that you can do right now to gain some control. And get to it.
When we take action, things change always for the better, we see things differently and there is no going back. Whatever it is you want to become you can create it in your physical life. What are you choosing to become? Outstanding!
As Darwin saw it, it’s not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but those who are most responsive to change.”¹ Are you ready to accept change, are you ready to embrace change in your life to get to where you really want to be?
When you feel yourself slipping into time-wasting stuff. In those moments, pause. Step back. Check in with what you’re committed to in your life. Ask yourself, “Am I closer to where I want to be right now than I was a half-hour ago.”²
Remember that indecision, fertilize fears action in the other hands cure fears, so go ahead take action any action and see what happen. Face the fear and do it anyway, some of the greatest feats are performed by people that are able to face fear and stare it down. “The day I don’t feel nervous anymore is the day I quit” Quoted by Tiger Woods. Yes my friend fear is only an excuse for not going forward. Every time I stand in front of a rock face to conquer I feel it my old friend fear, giving me all kind of excuse s for not doing the climb and every time I thank her for being here and keeping me sharp and I go on climbing, the exhilaration I get from it cannot be described in words only action.

THe One Command

2010-05-20T13:54:00.000-07:00

I have been asked to explain the One Command and what it does. I came across, or I should say, that the OC crossed my path at a time when I was searching for my life’s purpose. I asked question like “what am I here for?” and “what is my purpose?” many questions concerning my life, why do I end up, in all transaction, with the dirty end of the stick? Why can I succeed? And many more. Searching for answers directed me to look inward instead of outward and I came face to face with a “me” I didn’t know existed. I realized that when throwing questions, just like that to the Universe, answers will come, not always the way I expected it but answers did come. Most of them I didn’t like to hear and I decide, one day, to pay attention to the answers. Looking even further more questions surfaced. How can I change “me?” And that’s when the book The One Command, by Asara Lovejoy, appeared, my first reaction was” yes another book” I have read over 100 self help books and never really found the solution to my situation. Something inside encouraged me to read the book, so I did. Practiced the exercise suggested and discovered a whole new world of possibilities that I didn’t know existed. The next thing I know, after practicing a command regarding my work situation where I wanted to retire and keep my income or better, I fell of a latter and busted my knee. I wasn’t too happy about this, but it was and answer to my command. Couple of days later I am on a plane to Seattle for a one day seminar on the One Command. I met a wonderful teacher there and absorbed as much as I could. Came back home ended up in the hospital because of my knee condition that got quite worse during the trip.
There is a saying “when the student is ready, the teacher appears.” I witnessed that to be true, over and over again. After my trip to Seattle I signed up for a two weeks course to be a certified OC practitioner, and for two weeks I was put to the test and through the grind. Like all new things the start up is the hardest and boy was it difficult for me but then I am fairly strong willed and plagued with limitation of all sorts. During the training I have learned where those limitations are coming from and what causes fear and doubt in my mind. I also learned how to change all that.
Soon after the first seminar I started a group here in Victoria and start holding meetings, very quickly the group grew to 70+ members. After the two weeks training sessions, commanding became a daily practice and many great things are happening in our lives, both my wife and I, and in the lives of people around us. Many desperate situations changed for the better and are improving even beyond our own dreams.
The One Command allow for the discovery of the inner strength, and the development of a relationship with the whole Universe in a way that surpass understanding. Sometimes I think I am living in a dream and soon I am going to wake up from it. Not at all this is as real as can be. Discovering my full potential that I didn’t know I had. Making peace with the past, and all the mistakes of the past. Realizing that I am not as bad as I thought I was, becoming aware of the potential that exist right there inside of me.
Discovering the gift that exist within each of us and that has been subdued for many years, it’s near magical. Learning to stop the self destruction that is going on continuously, becoming aware of what is locked inside of us and witnessing our own development into a richer better more satisfying life. Learning to access the wisdom within, bringing up the great potential that is our birth right, learning to grow the way nature intended to , going beyond logical thinking and accessing the 85 or more percent of the unused part of our brain where the genius within reside, that is what the One Command allow us to do.
After 3 years of discovery, this is only the beginning for me, many great things are unfolding in my life, I have great dreams and visions for the future, I choose what I want and make my own decision for myself.
How about you? Are you ready for changes? What would you like instead of what you have? Is it relationship, money, love, personal growth or perhaps weight control or even work related situation or anything else that you can think of with the One Command everything is possible and the Universe is waiting for you to ask, so just ask and see what happen.

Invest in Yourself

2010-05-18T08:39:00.000-07:00

“What you CAN be, you MUST be.” AND: “If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you’ll be unhappy for the rest of your life.”¹
When I discovered that I could have and I could be what my dreams were telling me I could achieve, it was a celebration of joy an explosion of the greatest firework I could ever imagine. At first it was like receiving that wonderful gift I always wanted but could never get and one day there it was waiting for me I just had to reach for it and pick it up for total enjoyment.
And so it is with your dreams, they are not just dreams they are the expression of your higher self, that part of you that continuously wants to grow higher and higher reaching unbelievable places. When JFK announced that a man will walk on the moon, NASA didn’t even had the right fuel mixture and the material to build a ship that could re enter the earth atmosphere without burning up. The dream was there and making the announcement triggered the impossible. And now not only man can go to space and return, he return with the same ship he went in, not a capsule the same vehicle.
So it is with your dreams, announce them to yourself first then to the world around you and let no one create doubt in your mind.
So what is it you want to do, what is your passion in life, what are you here for? Answer those questions first then follow your inner guidance system to take you where you can even imagine you can go and achieve.
The Universe is here, today, right now laying down the blueprint of your success, you just need to take a look at it and understand its meaning, and since it is your blueprint you and only you can read it and decipher it.
Get up earlier in the morning and take time for you to meditate and search your soul for that one thing you are made for. The reason for you to be here, what is it? Do you know? Taking time for yourself is the best investment you can make. Care to choose the right thoughts “As the physically weak man can make himself strong by careful and patient training, so the man of weak thoughts can make them strong by exercising himself in right thinking.” ²
Train your mind unless it trains you.
Discover what you love and a whole new world is going to open up before you taking you places you can’t even dream of right now.
I used to lay in bed in the morning not wanting to face another day of this life, I forced myself out of bed to get ready for work not enjoying any of it, until one day, after discovering what I wanted to do, I start getting up one hour earlier and make time for me, for meditation and writing every day. And one day I woke up smiling getting out of bed with energy looking forward to my day and from that day on I wake up “happy” no reason at all. I am happy to get up make coffee for my wife and bring it to bed to her. Then I go on making breakfast and reading, than meditation and writing my journal, expressing my thoughts of gratitude and the day goes on, happy for no reason just because, going toward my goal of being even happier if it’s at all possible.
Great things are happening since I decided to change my thoughts and take control and responsibilities for my life, great things are yet to happen.
What about you? What is it that you want? Do you know what you want? Maybe I can help. Just ask.
I am using and teaching a technique called The One Command. I encourage you to investigate. It is bringing me closer and closer to my life goals and already I have witnessed great success because of it. Visit my link. http://tocleaders.com/bernardt/

Who's to Blame

2010-05-17T21:28:00.000-07:00

“Who stops us from being free? We blame the government, we blame the weather, we blame our parents, we blame religion, we blame God. Who really stops us from being free? We stop ourselves.”¹ The question that come up is “how is it that I stop me from being free?” One reason is we accepted “domestication” first we let adult tell us how, what, when and where to do anything and everything. As a child we are free thinker and decide what is good for us, we are then redirected toward what others think is good for us and from that time it is a constant battle until eventually we conform and go with someone else’s flow not ours.
It seems that only those that keep their independence are able to create exactly what they want, the rest they are going according to someone’s view of what their freedom is. This is a mind blowing thought. Allowing others to design our life. Of course there is a difference between acquiring an education and being forced into one. When we decide to submit to someone’s view for learning purpose we still maintain our own freedom and submit for a time and then resume our own understanding and we progress from that point, as we adopt what is good for us and our purpose.
The purpose of the warrior (the ideal person in the Toltec tradition) is to transcend social conditioning as we discover our personal power and learn to live with clear intent and impeccability.²
The decision is yours to be a follower or a warrior both come with a price, and as a warrior you decide to follow a path designed by you, and that’s a huge difference than having your path decided by someone else’s vision of you.
“Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive—the risk to be alive and express what we really are.”¹
1. Be impeccable with your word, to yourself and to others. Meaning that anything that you do which go against your inner beliefs is destructive to your integrity. Honor your commitment think before talking and follow through your promises no matter what.
2. Don’t take anything personally. the opinion of other people who don’t even have a good opinion of themselves! He tells us: “The approval of such men, who do not even stand well in their own eyes, has no value for him.”³ Know that noting that other people do as anything to do with you but with them, and only them.
3. Do not assume anything. Whatever it is you assume you think is true, you will swear it’s real. When making assumptions we don’t understand the reality then we take things personally ending up creating a big drama for nothing. Instead ask question, create a clear communication, and keep asking questions until you are as clear as can be.
4. Do your best and always do your best. I have adopted, words of my own creation, whatever I am involved in I repeat the phrase “I love what I do and I do it well” even those things that I deemed second class actions receive that same effort and concentration. I have discovered, using those words, that everything I do is important and need to be treated as such. It feels good and much is accomplished, the results are extremely satisfying. Even when “doing our best” does not bring perfect results, and we know that we did our best then it’s all good.
“The first step toward personal freedom is awareness. We need to be aware that we are not free in order to be free. We need to be aware of what the problem is in order to solve the problem.”¹
If you don’t like what is going on in your life, just ask the question “what do I want instead?” Answering that question will bring new vision and possibilities.
Lets brake domestication one step at the time.

Accepting Changes

2010-05-10T06:27:00.000-07:00

The Change Guarantee: Every change we experience always brings something positive into our lives. It may not be obvious immediately, but it ALWAYS does.
“The change demons help us navigate through change by alerting us if we are off course and encouraging us to choose a different emotion to help us get to where we want to go. A GPS asks only two questions: Where are you now? Where do you want to go? Or, in emotional terms: What are you feeling now? What do you want to feel instead? A navigational GPS system needs you to be very specific about where you want to go, and so does the change GPS. Know where you want to end up, and make that destination clear.”¹
Change allows new growth, nature is all about changes nothing is ever the same, and even the deserts are shape by the winds and movement of nature. As part of the natural world we are exposed to changes, continuously and most time we are resisting changes.
Accepting and allowing the changes to take place will give a greater understanding of life in general and will also expand our horizon. Welcoming changes causes us to be in a positive frame of mind and see those opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed. Accepting the changes bring peace of mind and comfort of the soul, and the challenges that appear with the changes are not so much dreaded. And action become attractive and flow freely, effortlessly and everything is done with passion and fun.
Acceptance of change in our life create a feeling of greatness, we are empowered by being positive toward the change taking place, accepting the learning process over again to be a normal process and going through the change willfully and in complete awareness is power. Having a dream that is not being realized become a burden and eventually will consume you. Accept changes, allow for the whole range of feelings and emotions controlling your thoughts and action will guaranty good feelings and great results.

Finding the Gold in the Darkness

2010-05-05T07:20:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wonder how come you are reacting one person positively and find her attractive, and for certain people you respond negatively too them not knowing why? Answering yes to that question could be the start of a great relationship, not with others, with you via others.
For the ones willing to do the work, yes indeed more work, and this work is like no other work you ever done, it take courage, will power and most of all a desire to change for the better, with amazing results.
What you see in others, that you despise, is a reflection of the person you don’t want to be , but you are in some way. Rejecting that side of you will only make it stronger.
Reacting to a negative comment, come from the same source, it’s like saying “I have been found” and wanting to hide it because you are ashamed of that side of yourself. If someone said, “you’re an idiot!” and you become defensive and even aggressive, defending your position, guess what the truth is?!? 
The shadow can show up differently and the experience is always unwanted even rejected. Accepting the feelings and looking for the positive within is finding the gold in the darkness.
We have a dark side; we all do even the best of us. There are traits that we dislike about ourselves and the need to go deep in and discover the beauty hidden behind the shadow. Discovering those aspects we rather ignore will bring peace within.
First we need to accept who we are at every moment rejecting none, just like the color white is the inclusion of all color, so are we can only be whole when accepting every side of who we are and loving every side of who we are. Taking a white beam of light through a prism will create a rainbow of colors showing exactly what white is made off. Taking ourselves through the exercise of discovering the shadow will do the exact same thing, the only difference is that at first it doesn’t look pretty like a rainbow of colors, the shadow is covering it, the rejection, the shame, pretending it doesn’t exist. Accepting who you are and loving it will eventually bring up all those treasure buried deep down.
It is a fact that we can’t see on the outside of us what we don’t have on the inside. Looking clearly outwardly and acknowledging what we see will make us discover the gold in the darkness. Carl Jung once said, ‘I’d rather be whole than good.’ How many of us have sold ourselves out in order to be good, to be liked, to be accepted.”
Time to look in and discover the good, the bad and the really ugly, circumventing fear and having the courage to look inside. Being aware that not only we want to run away from our dark side but also from our good side, anything that makes us different in our own perception, the need to be “though” instead of soft and loving.
Braden remind us: The greatest crime we commit against ourselves is not that we may deny or disown our shortcomings but that we deny and disown our greatness—because it frightens us. If a fully realized self-acceptance does not evade the worst within us, neither does it evade the best.”
Starting the project, by making a list of all that we dislike about us, make it a complete list only stop when you have exhausted all issues. Then make a list of the exact opposite of each word in the first list and know that you have both within you. The dark side, and the bright side. Looking at the dark side list find the reason for its presence, asking the question why is this here? Will bring answers to help you discover the gold hidden inside.
This is not a very fast process it will take time but the results are marvelous discovering who you really are is a lifelong process and a lifelong worth the effort, bringing peace, joy and continuous happiness.

Why not get willing?

2010-05-03T07:00:00.000-07:00

Yes indeed why not get willing, we have a tendency, us human to limit our possibilities in all front. Remember, probably not, but when the first train came in service we limited the speed to 30 miles per hour because, the scientist at the time said” the human body would probably disintegrate at higher speed”. And it was not until some daring soul decided to take it further, that we realized that we can actually go much faster, how about 15,000 miles per hour around the earth? Whoa.
So thinking about feeling good what is our limit? Or what is the level of feeling good are we capped at? Why do we decide to stop at a certain point, why not feeling good as much as possible go all the way brake the frontier of happiness. Just yesterday I was in the steam room at the pool in comes a young men possibly 25 or less than a mother with a 12 years old daughter and a younger boy. The daughter was acting p and pushing her mom’s button, I was admiring the control that 12 years old girl had over her mother and she knew exactly when and where to stop, then she explored a little further watching her mom’s reaction, the mom was getting aggravated then the daughter would go and cuddle with her give her a kiss, the mother smile and off she goes again.
After they left the steam room the young man made comments like “I wish I could be like that, carefree and alive” and other observation of the sort. After a while I turn to him and ask” what is stopping you” and he could not answer , he mumble things like making a living, being serious, having responsibilities and I asked again what is stopping you. This time I wasn’t talking to him I was asking myself, what is stopping me from being carefree, trusting, and daring. Answers came to me, fear of what people are going to say or think, lost child like attitude, and another question pop up, how can I be trusting, to be able to play ad live just like a young child, or are these days gone forever?
It has to do with to feel good at all time not to be a silly adult just to be able to feel good at all time, choosing the thoughts that create good feelings. I think that is what limitless of happiness is.
I remember when I decided to break the rule that say “you can’t go swimming after lunch, your stomach will cramp and you will drown”. I had to check this out and went in the water after lunch and nothing happened, I went many times and nothing happened. And still , when in summer camps we were not allowed to go swimming right after lunch I tried to argue and say I can prove it, I have done it many time. No go could not convince the adults and I was labeled has a rebel, so be it. I was a happy rebel.
And those are the experiences we have to free ourselves from to enjoy life to the fullest; everyone has an opinion on how I should live my life.
I could go on and on, on this subject and I are going to finish with 4 questions.
Am I willing to increase the amount of time every day that I feel good inside?”
Then “Am I willing to increase the amount of time that my whole life goes well?”
Then: “Am I willing to feel good and have my life go well all the time?”
And, finally: “Am I willing to take the Big Leap to my ultimate level of success?”

Life as its best

2010-04-28T10:11:00.000-07:00

Two days ago we experienced nature and it’s furry, a wind storm went by and causes a power failure, some branches of a three fell on the power line blowing a fuse. No big deal until you needs to cook supper. For a while I thought about complaining and decided to change that thought into a more positive one. What could I focus on to change the thoughts? First let’s be grateful for the technology of electricity that allows us to have so much comfort. Then enjoying the moment and the silence… Listen… no noise quiet very nice.
And so it is with everything else, we have control of our thoughts and from that point we can feel good all the time if we choose too. And there is the catch if and when we choose to we can feel good in any situation. Finding the good in everything that happen and some of which we don’t have any control over like the weather, or flight being late, or the traffic light turning red and countless of other situation. Learning to appreciate and feel good no matter what that’s the secret if there is one.
Considering the past we can say that life today is at its best and getting better and again that’s a decision that need to be made individually. Bringing the responsibility home and not responding to external occurrences. To feel good is to create what we want. Happiness and that’s what we are meant to be, happy at all time and for no reason what so ever. Thinking that any new toy will make us happy is ludicrous, we need to make yourself happy first and then all will be added including that new toy, or new job or new partner. Wife and I have been together for 40 years, was it always a peaceful and even journey? Not at all have we made it that way, we decided to be happy in our relationship no matter what happen and that, is what made it something that we are very proud of, a great life together. We choose to feel love for each other even at the worse of time and it worked miracles. Anyone can have the same thing, first look inside not outside, looking outside of you is reacting to external occurrences, looking inside and finding the inner strength is being proactive instead of reactive.
In the book The Amazing Power Of deliberate intent Esther and Jerry Hicks state that “For any desire to be realized by you, or before anything can manifest in your experience, there must be vibrational compatibility between your desires and your beliefs.” Meaning that the focus is on you not outside of you but your inner self and creating conflicts wanting something and then thinking you can’t have it or don’t deserve it, this kind of conflict will guaranty misery. Adjusting your thoughts so that the feeling is one of positive outcome is a must in the journey at hand. Being aware on how you feel, and taking action you can alter the way you feel and create better feelings that will give you full conscious control of all future outcome. In short we can choose to be creator instead of victim.
Acquiring a GPS, another great technology, mad our life so much better, no more call from my wife trying to find a way back home after being lost in the city. The thing is program that on selecting “home” will guide her, or me, directly home using the fastest route. Totaling amazing it even talk to you. And so it is by developing your inner emotional guidance system will guaranty a safe and very rewarding journey. Even if we take the wrong turn, the GPS will recalculate the route and direct us back home or wherever we programmed it to take us. So it is with our emotional guidance system, we can stray for a while and decide to change our thoughts to be again happy and enjoying the journey. The sooner we correct the course the better for the end results. And when things are not working well then it is time to find the best vibration, the best thought we can come up with to have the best possible feeling, going from a less desirable moment to a better one. One exercise that help finding the best thought is, when not feeling up to par, just write down everything you can come up with that are positive about the situation, there is always a positive to any negative always, can’t be one without the other, not possible. Reaching for the more positive things will create a better feeling and a better vibration getting closer to what you want. Creating a book of positive aspect and recording the better thoughts, will get you moving toward achieving all that you want.

Have you found it yet? Do you know with 100%certainty what it is you are meant to be? Either way write it down, even if it is a sounding YES write it down as a refresher and reset the goals, prepare for success now, today, tomorrow never comes.
And if you answer is NO or I DON”T KNOW, and then it’s time for you to get it together and bring to mind what it is that you are here for. Get it right finalize it act upon it. Everyday do what needs to be done that day and do it in an efficient manner.
Everything that is created is first created from a thought, think and meditate and find your call, your purpose, and your passion. Then it is actualized in the physical form, first from a blue print, a plan and then through actions occurring everyday aligning you with your purpose.
A great exercise to do, imagine your own funeral, and you a sitting there in the crowd, looking at the program in your end, the written eulogies what is said about you? You family is here wife/husband, children they each take turn to speak, what are they saying about you? Your friends listen to the words that are coming out, what are they saying?
Now come back to today and imagine what would you like to be said at your funeral, write your own eulogies the way you want it to be and then go am live that way that is your call, that is your mission in life, we all have one discover yours and dutifully act upon it every day.
What are your thoughts first thing in the morning are you waking up happy? Are you eager to face the challenges of the day? What is important to you? Create a list of what are the most important things to do each day. And then set up to get them done first and foremost. Next the least important things, setting up such a schedule will guaranty that all that need to b done that day will be done, and yes time will come when you will have to say no to certain request or schedule them for latter when all the important things are done. And that will take discipline and setting up new habits creating crystal clear priorities and implant them in your mind.
Earlier I talk about what if you don’t know what you mission in life is, you are having difficulties coming up with something or nothing that comes to mind actually “click” with you, no ahah moments, no revelations. Then it is time for you to take the time to find the answer, without it you will blow where ever the wind decides to take you, and that can be hazardous to your life. Take time off to internalize and sought the answer.
It is true that you don’t know and you can use that to work for you, there is a technique that uses that exact phrase I DON'T KNOW HOW, learning that technique I guaranty to bring you the answer you need. Give me a call the first call is free.
I am using and teaching a technique called The One Command. I encourage you to investigate. It is bringing me closer and closer to my life goals and already I have witnessed great success because of it. Visit my link. http://tocleaders.com/bernardt/

Get it together

2010-04-23T13:02:00.000-07:00

Before we can keep it together we need to have it together, to be able to have it together we need to put it together, and before we can put it together we need to recognize that we don’t have it together and from that gather what we need so we can put it together.
Gathering what we need is simple, we need to be happy one and foremost, happiness. To be happy is a decision that we make, we decide to be happy, and nothing can make us happy if we decide not to be happy, try it. Whenever I am going to do something, anything at all I decide to be happy no matter what happen and it works. Get it? I decide to be happy even if yo8 decide not to be happy; your state of mind doesn’t have to influence mine.
Next we need to feel good again that’s a choice, I can’t change the way I feel but I can change my action that will influence my feeling so I feel good. If I don’t feel too good I can jump up and down a few time take a few deep breath and there it is the good feeling appear just like magic. I can do any sort of action that is going to make me feel good. Smile will do the trick real fast.
So I am happy and I feel good, what else do I need? Since we are on the subject of feeling good let’s take a stroll in that direction shall we? How’s my body? Do I feel good about how I look? Do I think I am to fat, to skinny or any other way I feel? What can I do about changing that? Well I can get into some kind of training, I like that better than exercise, training has a purpose exercise is vain and goes nowhere. I can train to be in shape, why not in my case I love rock climbing and I haven’t done it for while ‘cause I was too heavy, so I decided to lose weight and train so I can go rock climbing, and the more I train the better I get and the better I feel and the closer to go rock climbing again I am. So it’s all cool. Now I am getting it together. Are you getting this? I lose weight I train, I feel better I really enjoy my body I feel better, People around are noticing “you look healthy” someone said, “you feel good” someone else said. They used to say “are you feeling ok?” “You look funny” now I look and feel good. Next week I am going climbing I think. That will tell me if I’ve got it together.
Remember your body is the only one you have no spare parts just as yet, plastic or metal perhaps, no thanks I like my body the way it is. So take care of it, be proud of it, and start training for something if nothing else just for the sake of it.
Be different, I should say dare to be different and then make a difference around you. You are the way you are and live the life you live because somehow you wanted it that way and did everything to get it that way. And that is also part of the training train your mind t recognize that fact. I am what I am because I asked for it. And until you do that nothing will change day after day you will look the same and feel the same no matter how many bear you drink, you might feel different for a while but in the morning you will look and feel the same or perhaps a little worse.
Get it together and do it now, need some help? Just ask help is available all around you, help is available right here. Why do you think you are reading this? Just a hazard? Fat chance of that, something inside of you is not happy and wants to change, get it done, and get it together.

Freedom from the masses

2010-04-22T11:02:00.000-07:00

Being enslaved by the continuous bombardment we are subject day after day to be this or that, to listen to this music or that music to eat that food or this food, to use this tooth paste or that one. Commercialism has become a religion of sort, if we don’t have the latest gadget or the latest fashion we are not “cool.”
Be free to wear what we feel comfortable to wear, and be free to express ourselves the way we are meant to express ourselves, to be free from the bondage of the guy next door, be free not to drink if I don’t feel like it. And being different and who cares what other people think. How about you? Are you living from your authentic self, or are you compromising just to fit in, to be part of the gang?
We are created different we all are different, we have different features, different way of thinking, different finger print, different cells even, blood, skin everything is different from one person to the next. How about celebrating our differences instead of trying for all to be replicate of each other, the like a brainwash army of zombies just living here and nothing else?
To be free is to be disciplined, ohhh the dirty word, into being happy for no reason, to be happy not because of the new car or the new toy but just be happy and that my friend takes discipline. To have the discipline to celebrate your differences and allowing everyone else to be different and comfortable. How about your kids are they different, do you allow them to be different or are they in involved in everything just because the other kids are involved in everything?
My younger boy never wanted to play hockey, every other kid here does, or football or baseball so we were criticized because we didn’t “join in” well today my boy is a by-provincial MMA (Mix Martial Art) champion, has his own Dojo with 60 students, that one was different and we allowed him to be. The oldest boy was not into sports at all but he is a heck of a good bass player he is different also. As far as me, well some people would like to put me away if they could and I don’t give a damn. The day I accepted that I was different and started to live my life as such it was liberation time baby I never felt any better since that day.
Take the “disciplined “ road to freedom, the practice of it is the practice of self love, self respect and the kind of surrender that lead to total freedom. A quote from Lao-tzu’s wisdom on discipline: “Don’t think you can attain total awareness and whole enlightenment without proper discipline and practice. This is egomania. Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life energy toward the light. Without the discipline to practice them, you will tumble constantly backward into darkness.”
And again, Seneca comes to mind. In his Letters from a Stoic “You have to persevere and fortify your pertinacity until the will to good becomes a disposition to good.” And also “How much better to pursue a straight course and eventually reach that destination where the things that are pleasant and the things that are honorable finally become, for you, the same.”
Wisdom from the ages is coming down to us. Blessings come in disguises, in those words for the one that have the eyes to see. I know it can be difficult, yes indeed and only for the first little while then it becomes a habit and it is easy and eventually you can do without it. Let’s take meditation as an example. When I first started I needed to get up 1 hour earlier well that was a change. And then having to seat for another one half hour meditating trying not to fall asleep. And now I have to confess I wake up eager to get the meditation going, lighting the candles and the incense stick has become a morning ritual and an evening one. Many revelations come to me during those hours and a much sought after sense of peace and well being.

Your purpose

2010-04-21T10:56:00.000-07:00

Everything in life has a purpose, animals, insects, plants, me and you, we all have a purpose. I found it quite interesting that in all creation we, the humans have been granted “intelligence” and we humans are to only one in nature that don’t know what our purpose is. We don’t know, for most part, what the fundamental of life is for us. That’s mind boggling.
What are we meant to be? What is our life purpose? We have totally forgotten to ask the question.
Thank goodness no all 100% of the human population don’t know what our purpose is, some do.
So what are *you* here for, just pause for a moment and ask the question, write down what comes to mind. Put it aside and go back to it when time permit and consider the options. Having difficulties coming up with an answer, in that case consider these questions. Are you truly happy with your occupation, totally fulfilled? If you answer yes, congratulation you have found what and where you are supposed to be. If you answer no then you need to investigate why you are here for. The next question is you totally happy and fulfilled in your relationship? Same process. Continue with the line of questioning for all aspect of your life. Parenting, friendship, health, wealth that’s a great one.
Do you believe in magic? No ask your kids they will teach you about magic. I love magic everything I play with it all the time, when driving the magic of the traffic light turning green when I arrive, the magic of watching the traffic goes by when I am stopped at a red light, the magic of that nice guy that let me through at the intersection, the magic of a smile from someone unknown. Come on write your own magic everywhere, all around I just love it. Did you know that people from other planet don’t exist until you have an encounter with them? Did you know that microscopic life form didn’t exist until someone invented the microscope? Did you know we could transport sound and communicate with each other, without any visible media like wire, until the radio and telephone were discovered? Magic, magic everywhere.
It’s all about how we think, thinking big will bring big actualization in your life and thinking small will than bring small things in your life. How big can you think? I know people, being one of them, that go home from their job and think of way to improve the work place, the way to do everything, to be more efficient, are you one of those? Or are you more into getting home 15 minutes before your shift is over and turning on the boob tube, opening a beer and wondering what’s for supper? If that is the extend of your search, well my friend you’ve got exactly what you deserve. The way your life is going will not change if you don’t. Do yourself, your family a favor and get off the coach and find what you are really meant to be. To old you said? I have a friend that started to learn how to paint at age 80 and now, after 4 years, his paintings are exposed in many country in the world. What is your call? Find it and be amazed on how your life will change for the better.

The warrior’s way

2010-04-20T15:49:00.000-07:00

Moses was a shepherd from the hills when he heard the call to lead the people out of Egypt. Martin Luther King, Jr was a rebel when in his youth. Mother Theresa, Agnes, decided to be a nun when she was twelve years old. Living in Albania under communist regime. And the list can go on and on.
Today I want to talk about you and the warrior hero that lives within you. Have you met him/her yet? Isn’t it time you get acquainted? Perhaps it is perhaps it is not. Are you willing to meet the warrior within?
There is only one thing that will stop you to get acquainted with your hero “fear of failure” so the sooner you get over it the better. Failure is a necessary step to success; all the warriors/heroes we know have a failed at one time or another. The way they handled the failures is what make them heroes. From sports figure to religious ones, to political figures to scientific they all fail at one time some f them as much as 10,000 time that they confessed off. So what are you afraid of trying? If you are not enjoying your life right now it’s time to go do something about it and scurry up the stretched wire. Stop looking at it and get on with it. THE EXTRAORDINARY: IT’S YOUR BIRTHRIGHT. Did you get that or do you want me to shout it louder? No I think you got it, are you going to let the day goes by without at least thinking of something? It is your destiny to become great, don’t hold it back any longer, pause and find what is it that you are meant to be. Look inside and discover the greatness within and follow your dream.
In his magazine Warrior of the Light, by Paulo Coelho. State.
“Every Warrior of the Light has felt afraid of going into battle.
Every Warrior of the Light has, at some time in the past, lied or betrayed someone.
Every Warrior of the Light has trodden a path that was not his.
Every Warrior of the Light has suffered for the most trivial of reasons.
Every Warrior of the Light has, at least once, believed he was not a Warrior of the Light.
Every Warrior of the Light has failed in his spiritual duties.
Every Warrior of the Light has said ‘yes’ when he wanted to say ‘no.’
Every Warrior of the Light has hurt someone he loved.
That is why he is a Warrior of the Light, because he has been through all this and yet has never lost hope of being better than he is.”
Reading this you realize that some or even all of those describe you guess what? You’re an undiscovered warrior of light.
Remember if you are going to fall, it won’t hurt any less to fall from the third floor than from the one hundredth floor, so climb higher, and if you fall and survive wear you’re scars with pride at least you accomplished more than 90% of the population. The hero/warrior follows only a few rules: respect the right of others. Does not allow fear to paralyze him/her. Does not feel guilt. Believing that one does not deserve the good or ill that happens in one’s life. Being a coward.
I will take for granted that all heroes respect the right of others.
Being paralyzed by fear. How’s your stand on that? Courage is capacity to move forward in spite of despair.
Felling guilty is a waste of time, criticizing you for past mistake can only bring more of the same.
Not believing that you deserve anything that happen to you is being a victim, putting the control outside of yourself.
Ready to start? Make a list of what is beautiful today in your life.
Live and if you do God will live with you and nothing is impossible.

Are you labeled as a nut?!?

2010-04-19T10:40:00.000-07:00

Answering yes has just set you up into the world’s minority of the overachiever rank. Surprised? I was after reading what John Eliot describes has a nut or being unrealistic, and that my friend is the epitome of success. We’re not talking about being stressed out, or living in fear, we are talking about the nervousness that drives you to realize anything you put your mind too.
When was last time you were called unrealistic and you brushed that aside and realized a great goal or a dream, when was it? See if you can remember how you felt than. I remember feeling on top of the world after the nervousness of the project and the great feeling afterward. Same when car racing during the race the tension is high the stomach is knotted applying this to the driving and the intention creates an awesome feeling. After, the win didn’t seem more important than the race itself. During those years many times I was called a nut case a dreamer because I wanted more always more.
Here is an add posted by Apple computer describing exactly what I am trying to convey. Read it, pause and meditate on it and let me know your thoughts, I am genuinely interested.
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Focusing intently and intensely on whatever you are doing to the point of total abortion, wanting to reach a level you never reached before heck! A level you never thought you could reach, that’s what I am talking about that’s what I am aiming for all the time continuously. Bouts of doubts, yes, moments of fears, yes, instants of madness, certainly, getting exited from the pain between my ears oh yeah, that’s the drive baby that’s the drive. Clinging on the rock, exhausted shaking, all muscles tense, panic in my guts and a few feet from the top, one more move and I made it that’s the thrill that’s the spirit I am looking for. Getting this involved in everything you do is being nuts, well I am nuts and I am changing the world one soul at the time how about you? Are you crazy enough to think that you can change the world?

It's Miller time

2010-04-17T08:56:00.000-07:00

Don’t get all exited now not quite… Sorry. Isn’t that how we think most of the time when doing something that we don’t do for the pure joy of it? After 10 minutes of work, it’s Miller time. How many time I have done that, working on a project getting bored or frustrated, time to check e mail or anything else not to do the task at hand. It’s Miller time…
Choosing to do things for the pure joy of it, instead of doing it because we have to, or should, or must. I resume going to the Gym a couple of month ago, at first it was hard and difficult I kept going because it’s better than being flabby I don’t like flabby. As I progressed, I start comparing with others at the gym and wanted to look the way they do and my ego say “you need to work harder” so I did and the results, a pulled shoulder muscle. Trying to hard is not the name of the game and the stupidity of comparing with others; first of all I am 65 and 90% of the people there are under 35 years old. Thhhuuu-huuu. Got the message, now I work out “intuitively” feeling good and enjoying myself, talk with people, take time to make new friends, learn tricks here and there from guys that have being doing it for years, it’s all in the attitude and so it is everywhere else, work, play, sports, vacations, retirement, everything we do can be enjoyable . Then it’s Miller time all the time. Another way to look at it, practice just for the practice sake and success will follow. Do the things that need done for the sake of doing it and be surprised by the results.
In most case it is learning new habits, and habits of the mind are sometime more difficult to get into than physical habits. Changing our thoughts is probably one of the most difficult changes to start. As they say, the bulk of the fuel used in a trip to space is in the lift-off phase when the rocket needs to escape the gravitational pull. Same thing here. At the beginning, when we decide to make some changes in our life we fill the tug back, emotional and psychological gravity is at first working against us, old habits are hanging on. And as we hang on and progress it become easier and easier until eventually it ‘s fun to change and we are looking forward to it every single day. Bloody marvelous. The whole process is called “homeostasis” a set comfortable point that needs some real effort to get out of. In his book “Mastery” Georges Leonard explain the steps on how to deal with homeostasis.
1. “Be aware of the way homeostasis works… don’t panic or give up at the first sign of trouble.”
2. “Be willing to negotiate with your resistance to change… The fine art of playing the edge in
this case involves a willingness to take one step back for every two forward, sometimes vice versa.”
3. “Develop a support system.”
4. “Follow a regular practice.”
5. “Dedicate yourself to lifelong learning.”
And knowing that we can’t ever get it done, but we can’t get it wrong. Staying on the path will get you where you want to go. And off course we are going to encounter pitfall, stop evaluate and decide how to go around it, over it, through it if necessary in one short sentence “DON”T GIVE UP”. And just do what you said you are going to do. Set priorities and make decisions, take action whatever small or unrelated it is, take action, get on the path and stay on it until done. Then and only then it’s Miller time 

Anything wrong in your world?!?

2010-04-15T09:00:00.000-07:00

Magic wand time!!! Today you are gifted a magic wand you can use it to change one thing in your life, anything, what is your choice? Please write it down big. Got it? Great, now look at it and ask the question, is it true? Write the answer. If the answer is yes you want to reconsider, being honest here is very important, you know if you are telling yourself the truth or not, No one is watching just you and your thoughts. Now if yes then ask “Can I be absolutely certain that it’s true?” Pause, think, than ask the next question “How do I react when I think that thought?” Experience the feelings attached to the thought, allow the feelings to work the magic. Next ask “Who would I be without the thought?” This is a very powerful exercise that brings into focus where the responsibilities lie. It is with you, of course, it doesn’t generate from the outside, but from the inside, always and at all time. We only choose to react to outside happenings. Next turn it around, whatever you said at the beginning turn it around to its opposite by turning it toward you or changing the position from “it is” to “it is not”. Practicing that exercise is, and trust me it is, beneficial to your health, physical, mental, psychological and spiritual. And the last question to ask who would I be without the thought? Answering that question will set you up for a whole new experience, and from that place you can now progress to a higher place.
This is just like trading your old clinker for a brand new whatever you want. Next trade again for something even better and that my friend is the true life process of evolution from a place to a better place, life “demand” to get better and better and if we refuse that when discuss for life gets in and the grip is unbearable most of the time. It is time for change, time to find that place of happiness, time to elevate your life style to what you want. You deserve much much better, life itself wants you to have something better all the time, please don’t turn your back from it, embrace it with all your heart all your strength and all your might.
Have you ever watch an old movie, remember the VHS? At time you notice something on the tv screen and it is annoying, so you get up and start rubbing the screen and it doesn’t go away so you scratch harder and get mad and harder and harder until something happen and you just broke your tv… When all the time the little annoying thing was not on the screen but on the tape itself and not much can be done. Just allow the little fault and enjoy the movie. And so it is with our life we react most time too strongly to outside things, and let these things distort our inner peace. How about just accepting what is? Ever got caught in traffic? Does blowing the horn? Pounding the steering wheel, or swearing at the situation, help? Why not finding ways to enjoy the moment listen to sousing music or a teaching or even just being grateful for something? Try it next time and see how you feel then. We can’t change our feelings but we sure can change our behavior then our feelings will change.
So next time you are annoyed at something, take full responsibility for it and go through the exercise, be good to yourself you deserve something better, way better.

Yes and...

2010-04-14T10:29:00.000-07:00

How you see the world is your subjective perspective. What you look at through that subjective perspective is the object of that subjective perspective. Can you make your current subjective perspective the OBJECT of a NEW perspective?
Let’s take a look at one of the most present situation in anyone’s life, relationship or lack thereof. The only time we are stuck into an argument is when we have BECOME “MY” position, not allowing for other view to be present in the argument.
By stepping back and observing the development of another perspective, I create the space needed for the other person to express their perspective. And magically there is no need for the argument, the tension dissolve entering into a dialogue where we can see heart-to-heart and continue the dialogue. Ken Wilbert said “no one is smart enough to be 100% wrong”, meaning that everyone has, however small, a partial truth to a position, and in a relationship, it is extremely important to allow for a perspective different than our own. Accepting that the other person has also a partial truth. Being able to step back and look at the way you see the world, it’s a very powerful thing to be able to do that. It also open great possibilities and allow for the things you want to change to actually do change just like magic. So instead of being stuck into either being rich or spiritual you can be both you can be very rich yes and express your spirituality, using your “rich” position to express your spirituality. Where so you get stuck?!? Start noticing and observing where you are seeing things as being to be all this or all that and allow for a little YES AND… From there you will evolve to a higher perspective where you can create newer perspective of a higher level.
Thinking about this brings us to observing the “world” process and its short fall. In history there hasn’t being a similar time of promotion of peace and love and at the same time we are experiencing turmoil in over half the planet. Both sides have great arguments and both sides think the other is wrong. Observing the situation with a non judgmental attitude allow for an understanding of both sides of the fence and allowing for both sides to have a say in our decision making. To be able to see without criticism all possibilities is to access higher plane, just like viewing the world from high altitude will give a different perspective of where we actually live. Changing position to have a better view. And yes… That’s the secret of enlightenment.

living a la Leonardo

2010-04-12T10:37:00.000-07:00

Da Vinci was a master mind for its time and he is a master mind still for our time. Living al la Da Vinci can be and is a master mind’s journey, discovering everything that there is to discover around us, taking notes on everything that exist around us is a marvelous journey. Leonardo asked questions to the Universe constantly, always something new to discover, in his journal he noted that asking questions is the beginning of learning and the start of wisdom. Encouraged by the example I sat down and wrote 100 questions about anything and everything then in another session choose the 10 most important questions and ranking them by importance from 1 o 10, this exercise is guaranty to change your life in ways that you can’t even think about at this moment. If Leonardo was in grade school toady he would be pumped full; of Ritalin for being ADD or ADHD . The last thing, take one of the ten questions and take the time to meditate on it every day and that will bring about marvel in your life. Results like you can fathom right now reading this. Give it a try and let me know how it turns out.
Keeping a daily journal was one of Leonardo’s practice, so far we know of 13,000 pages. The Codex Leicester 72 pages is the only major scientific work of Leonardo's in private hands. It is owned by Bill Gates, and is displayed once a year in different cities around the world. Why would Bill Gates pay 30.8 million for part of Leonardo’s journal? Good question must be important I think. Also keeping a gratitude journal, very powerful practice.
Ready ?!? Take one hour of your time go to your favor place where you can relax and will not be disturbed and write down 100 questions anything will do, the choose the 10 top ones numbered 1 to 10 pick the most important one for you and take time to meditate on it, set goal, visualize and start a marvelous journey.
For the past few years I am using and teaching a technique called The One Command. I encourage you to investigate. It is bringing me closer and closer to my life goals and already I have witnessed great success because of it. Visit my link. http://tocleaders.com/bernardt/

Pursuing Happiness VS. Practicing Happiness

2010-04-10T07:38:00.000-07:00

To “pursue” was not to chase after but to “practice” to make a habit of, according to Tomas Jefferson. Happiness in any situation following any emotional ups and down, in sadness and in health, richer or poorer, for the better or the worse, where did I hear that before? Getting up in the morning happy no reason no excuses, just happy. There is a difference in between waking up happy or waking up considering being happy or not according to outside influences. Even when experiencing emotions of sadness, anger, frustration or even fear and still experiencing that felling of peace and well being.
In her book “Happy for no reason” Marci Shimoff, state
• “Less than 30 percent of people report being deeply happy.
• Twenty-five percent of Americans and 27 percent of Europeans claim they are depressed.
• The World Health Organization predicts that by 2020, depression will be second only to
heart disease in terms of the global burden of illness.”
We’re able to built amazing structure, survive devastating disaster, combat killing bugs, send men to the moon and back knowing exactly how much fuel it will take, and with all of this we haven’t being able to teach how to be happy all the time?!? Puzzling!
We can be happy or we can be depressed, very straight forward, we can be happy for bad reason, any addiction will do, we can be happy for good reason, healthy experiences like birth of a child, winning the lottery, or we can be happy for no reason, and there we live from happiness instead of for. Get it?
Happiness is like a thermostat when it’s too cold just turn it up and warmth happen the same goes the other way. Psychological research show that we have a happiness set point what ever happen we always return to that set point. Studies of people winning big money at the lottery, returned to their original happiness set point within 6 to 12 months. And the same results take place after very difficult case of accidents after a period of time people have regain their happiness set point. What exist within is and that’s that, practicing a higher level of happiness that’s what is needed to create a life of peace and joy no “matter what”. It’s a decision, accepting to adapt to a new level of function. Back in the 80’s I was working in the high arctic, right away I found many things to complain about, life was not very good, first the sun would never set and I cursed against being awake at 4 am thinking it was 4pm. One night laying there I thought ” this is not going to work I have to do something about this” The thought came that I could “accept” being here and enjoy the surrounding discovering the beauty. I fell asleep walking up the next morning and it was like a whole new place. And for the next 8 month I experienced joy and happiness like never before, I would wake up cheerfully every morning seat outside and just look around taking it all in. We sent our employees back home every six weeks; instead of going home I brought my wife for a week I wanted to share this with her. I have relived those 8 wonderful months many time since, in my mind. Practicing everyday to be happy will eventually bring you to living in happiness instead of for it.
In the past few years I have personally used a technique called The One Command. I encourage you to investigate. It is bringing me closer and closer to my life goals and already I have witnessed great success because of it. Visit my link. http://tocleaders.com/bernardt/

Shift when you drift

2010-04-08T08:53:00.000-07:00

Commitment to learn from every experiences of every moment, instead of the usual actualization of our self defense mechanism by stonewalling, explaining, justifying, withdrawing, blaming is much more important than anything else in the moment. Being open to learning is to be in charge at all times. You can choose to shift out of being defensive into being open to learn.
Spiraling up instead of spiraling down. Let say you are driving to work and the first thing that happen is someone is cutting you off and has you blow the horn he demonstrate that you are #1. You react and want to get even with this guy. So in turn you are cutting someone else off so you can catch up with that @#$%&$# and show him. You arrive at work and your mind is on that guy that cut you off and made your day miserable and from that point everything is going down. Use your imagination and see what happen, getting thence, frustrated telling everyone that wants to hear about your driving to work experience. The whole day is going to be based on frustration and nothing is getting better. That’s spiraling down.
Let’s take a look at a different approach. The same guy is cutting you off at the same place. No blowing the horn so no fingering instead smiles and wave take a couple of deep breath and relax. One of the thing that could happen is the fellow that cut you off, as you smile and wave, might think “shocks I just cut off someone that knows me” now where do you think the frustration is? On him. And has you proceed to work with a smile on your face your co-worker look and wonder “how come he is so happy first thing in the morning” That is spiraling up because from to moment on the day unfold in a good spirit. Commit to learn in every moment.
Other ways to make a shift? Try speaking authentically, truly loving the experience, recommitting to your ideals, moving your body in a new way, or using this challenge as another opportunity to get closer to your Essence. Fun.
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness concerning all acts of initiative and creation. There is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen events, meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come their way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets: ‘Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now!’” ~ W.H. Murray
Whoa that sorts it all out very concise and very clear, no mystery, Re-committing every day every moment of every day to whatever we are dreaming off and working on, continuous flow of self generated motivation by agreeing to move forward by re-committing, keeping at bay the wobbly attitude, the lack of confidence, the discouragement. When I travel by plane I usually listen to the pilot conversation with air control. Continuous re-committing to the destination correcting and re-correcting the fly pattern, every so often air control would interfere and give the pilot new heading altitude and speed. What would happen if the pilot decided that this is not working I can’t keep that plane in a straight line, I can’t fly this thing it’s changing heading all the time I give up…. Think about it, your life is like flying that plane continuously correcting taking advice and correcting again and again and again. That’s it re-committing to the outcome and go with the flow.

Embracing the Chaos

2010-04-07T21:18:00.001-07:00

How about it, embracing the inner chaos, accepting the inner struggle, for what it is, a guide to make us stronger. Stress the system and watch it grow, its call “conditioning”. Only by stressing the system can we know its limit and the go further. During strength training to gain more of it and more mass one need to stress the muscle just a little bit more, in turn the body will react and compensate by repairing the muscle and that way make it stronger for the next time. And so it is with the mind, stressing the mind for it to grow and become stronger.
By embracing the inner chaos and accepting the good and evil within, only then can we strengthen our presence in the now.
Are you ready to break the bound and fly? Or are you going to continue to allow the anchor of envy and jealousy keep you in restrain? Up to you to be free and to fly. Go beyond your abilities and fly higher and higher, freeing yourself from the tare of society that wants you down here crawling on the ground. Your choice, your doing, your decision.
Control your thoughts let not others do it for you, remember it is easier to look down than to look up in any way you can think off. Everything depend on you from the very beginning not on others, whatever you have you have, whatever you desire you can have too. The time has come for you to plant the seed of your highest hope. And don’t mind the inner chaos so much allow it and learn from it that way it will quiet itself and cooperate to create your higher achievements.
And be what you must be no less. Built your inner for when you succeed they will not pardon you. Be totally independent of the thoughts of others. Proceed with what your soul demand and leave it at that! And the higher you fly the smaller you will appear to the eyes of the envious, and most of all they hate the one that can fly.
Dance with the stars my friend. Fly among the cloud and laugh at loud live your life like it was the last minute of it and love like you never to before. It take only courage.

The learning process.

2010-04-06T10:17:00.000-07:00

What is learning, Thesaurus tells us: Learning is acquiring new knowledge, behaviors, skills, values or preferences.
To be able to learn one need to have an open mind to new ideas. Being open to allow and accept new principles is paramount to learning. Asking questions and pondering the answers is part of the learning process. Arguing with new approach will deter the learning process and is a waste of time.
“Wolfgang von Goethe once wrote, ‘To have more, you must first be more.’ To achieve more in your outer world, you must go to work on your inner world, on developing yourself. There are no lasting shortcuts. There is no other way.”
To have more one need to become more.
Asking question like “Is there anything you are doing right now that, knowing what you now know, you wouldn’t get into again if you were starting over today?” That’s using rear-view vision and it’s always 20/20. That’s creating in the present what the future is going to be, if what you are doing right now is not giving you your desires why keep doing it? Isn’t it time for change? Isn’t it time for new experiences, learning something new? How about it.
When I first came into contact with the process, I was concerned that the answer would not be what I like to hear. So I procrastinated for a while until one day, from way deep inside the question came up. Is what you are doing right serving you or are you serving it? That blasted me off and for a while I was not very happy with myself. So I proceeded asking the question and the answer was “YES” from that point it only took a few minutes to decide to get out of what I was involved, nice I like that. Diving unto the unknown, fabulously rewarding. I needed to open my mind to new ideas and new way of doing something, and that’s the perfect point. From then on more questions are coming that I need to answer. Here are a few that you might want to consider for yourself.
*Let say I am a magician and I can grant you whatever you wanted. What would it be?
*Considering your life today, if you were to receive $10 million cash, tax free, how would you change your life? What would you do? What is the first thing you would do?
*What are you enjoying today, what do you excel at, what activities make you the happiest?
* If you had six month left to live how would you spent the last months of your life?
*And if you could not fail what can you dream of, if you were guaranteed success in anything what would it be?
Take the time and consider these questions and be amazed of the results.
A couple of things you need to acquire, for all of that to work.
1. Change your thinking, control your thought. What are you thinking most of the time? That’s what you are going to get more of. So change it, it is very simple just a new habit to acquire.
2. Visualization and idealization, the right and left hand of success. Imagining the perfect outcome to your dream and continuously focusing on the path, keeping the end result in mind.

Carpe Punctum! Seize the moment

2010-04-05T13:48:00.000-07:00

Carpe Punctum! Seize the moment
Carpe dium, seize the day, a worthwhile endeavor, seizing the “moment” is more bonding since the next minute is not yet here and the last one already gone, never to come again. In the moment is where it all takes place, to be fully involved, alive and glorious is in the moment. The only problem in your life is your mind’s resistance to life as it unfolds.” Dan Millman. Living in the now, realizing the power of the moment, creating now our desires our wants, everything is in the now. Even planning for the future happens in the now, in the moment. So seize the “moment” and live the day one moment at the time .
What are you resisting in your life right now? Know that your suffering has NOTHING to do with the event itself. And EVERYTHING to do with your perception of it. And, of course, you can change your perception of it at any moment, emotions are like clouds passing by. The same way we accept the weather for what it is, we can’t really control our emotions, we can control our response to our emotions. We cannot change our emotion we can only change our behavior and that will alter emotions. We can control our thoughts and that will reshape our emotions. We can’t control the rain falling; we can use an umbrella to keep dry.
Discover your self-worth, this all life is about discovering and learning, and it is not going to happen without errors, short fall and mistakes. Recognizing those and moving on. The sooner you get this the better, fix what can be fix, apologize when its due and learn from the process. Mediocre moments are a part of life, not unforgivable sins. George Bernard Shaw once remarked that ‘the ignorant are cocksure and the intelligent full of doubt. So get on with life, allow for mistakes, straighten the wheel and move on. It is so easy to bit ourselves down to the ground and it accomplishes nothing.
Start shaping your habits to what you want, difficult?!? Perhaps not impossible tho… What is it that you need to change in your life today in this moment? For me I love watching a movie and sometime to many times per week. So cutting back on watching movies every evening instead, prepare for the next day things to do places to go. Write an article and publish it, read and research something for my business. Right away my feelings change I am accomplishing something and I do it directing the energy toward something I want. Oh..,
Yes, we need to practice that for a few days before it becomes an habit that’s where the will clicks in. Yeah will power that’s why we have it… Or not, up to you. Super simple.
Creating techniques to make nasty habits hard to get to and make things easy for good habits to form. For me it’s just unplugging the TV I have to crawl under a desk with the assistance of a flash light stored at the other end of the house. By the time I think about it, too much trouble just go do something else
You know Dar Robinson? One of the modern day daredevil, before every stunt he performed he is scared to death and most time let go if his breakfast from fear. I think if he is OK with I shouldn’t be concern with it myself, and go on and do what needs to be done. Fear is here for a reason, to make us aware, and then we can calculate the risks and decide what to do and how to do it. My recipe for fear is to shrink it down to a manageable size. Carry it in my pocket and whenever it’s needed just bring it out, see what she has to say, listen, pose, create the proper environment and let’s go. Have you ever heard of Erik Weihenmayer( hope I got his name right) is a rock climber, nothing big here, so am I. He went and climb Mount Everest, so far so good Oh yeah he is blind… Was he scared, all the way up there? You bet he was. He made it, some of his companions didn’t, some of them reached their summit before the top and some of them turned back. Erik made it and went on to conquer 7 of the most difficult climbs in the world. What is you Everest? What do you need to conquer it?

Making dreams happen

2010-04-02T08:01:00.000-07:00

We all were born the same way, we all had a mother and father biologically speaking, and each one of us learned the same important details of life itself. We learn how to walk, to speak, to run, and many other vital components of activities for our daily life.
It was and still is up to us to want to learn we use different patterns each individual has his/her own way of learning and applying the process. The common point is that we decide to learn and apply. From the very first day we decided to have dreams, from the very first breath we took we activated every single thought necessary to our place in life, necessary to our growth, to our success every single step we took was a decision we made based from an inner vision. No one could have forced us to walk. Our first born started walking very early and one day in the street he decided to stop walking, realizing that we would not carry him any longer he just sat in the middle of the side walk and that was it. Nothing we could say or do, no coercing of any kind would change his mind, until he was good and ready and discover something for himself that he wanted more than being carried around, at that time he started walking again and never stop since.
Whatever dream we create in our mind we can make happen it’s what we are it’s what we are made off, powerful tools we are equipped with to make happen anything that we can create in our mind. Another element is also needed in the process, motivation. Dreams come and go, not all dreams become a physical reality, and there is reason for that. To succeed a dream need ingredients, motivation, why do we want what we want, if the why is not strong enough the realization will be very weak to not even leaving the dream stage. Next we need learn a few steps to make the dream come through, and then we need to go to work to make it happen. There’s always a commitment to be involved and yes at time we have dreams that can be so big and they seems unattainable and we can’t see how we can make it happen. We always have a part to play in the realization of a dream no matter how big.
How big can you dream? Erik Weihemayer was blind by the time he was 14 years old. His life was totally turned around, like most he wanted to give up, life is over all that he loved seems to vanish at that moment, thanks to his wonderful parents he accomplished exploits.
An accomplished climber, Erik became the only blind man in history to reach the summit of the world's highest peak - Mount Everest on May 25, 2001. On August 20, 2008, when he stood on top of Carstensz Pyramid, the tallest peak in Austral-Asia, Erik completed his quest to climb the Seven Summits - the highest peak on every continent. His part was to dream to train, to accept the fact he needed assistance and to be there when needed, every step of the way. For more about Erik watch the movie “Touch the top of the world”
What is your dream, your big vision and what are you doing about it? You decided to stand up and walk once you can do it again. Taking the first step toward your dream is all that’s needed the Universe, the Source of life itself will then become your best friend, your support, people, situation, tools, everything that you need to succeed will appear sometime like magic for the realization of your dream. What is left do whatever need to be done each day toward the success of the dream. In his book “Do You”, hip hop mogul Russell Simmons says ““The pain that’s created by avoiding hard work is actually much worse than any pain created from the actual work itself. Yes its ok read it again, I needed to, and internalize it so it become yours. By work I mean do whatever need to be done in that moment, for me right now to make my dream come true I need to write my blog everyday and I dedicate that action to the outcome. Going to the gym 5 days a week is part of the routine I need to reach my dream and other goals like being fit, healthy and strong to do the things I want to do.
So what’s your dream? What are you doing about it? Need some help just ask someone share with a trusted person, trust your intuition and start standing and start walking. Live in the untapped part of your mind, that 90 percent of your unused brain and watch what happen.

Now what needs to be done?

2010-03-30T10:29:00.000-07:00

Have you ever tried to change the way you feel? Does it work? How about changing habits, does that change the feeling? We experience feelings all the time good feelings we like and want to keep feeling that way, not so good feelings we don’t like and want to change them. What needs to be done? Behavior, we can control in a way that our feelings are not, so the more we control our actions the more the feelings can change. Indirectly we can bring change to our feelings, within reason that is. Constructive Living is based on the fundamental notion that, although we can’t control our feelings, we CAN control our behaviors.
Looking back at my own life I can see where my action or lack thereof, consistently impacted on the way I feel, knowing what to do and doing it is a world apart. The doing it is what cause the changes. What is the one thing that need to be done , that you are purring off? Do it and see how the feeling will change accordingly.
So #1 Feelings are not controllable by the will.
Whatever we accept it or not that’s the way it is. They come and they go just like the weather changes all the time and we accept it. Right? So accepting how we feel in the moment first step to actualization.
#2. Feelings must be acknowledged and accepted as they are mostly feelings are here to let us know we are alive. Deciding on how to act upon them is what makes the difference. If we can’t control it just accept it.
#3. Every feeling no matter how unpleasant has its use. By stepping out of that emotion at the moment and taking control let see if we can learn something about what is happening. And help us to understand ourselves better. Feelings are very similar to an alarm letting us know that something is amiss and for us to take action to bring the inner peace back again. Any action will do doing the dishes, laundry, cleaning the garage doing something toward the feeling will do the trick. I found for myself most time I know what to do and again at time I try to avoid it by doing something else and the feeling don’t go away. Only when I take action any action toward the feeling that it does changes for the better.
#4. Feelings fade in time unless restimulated. Think about it: if we’d just quit recalling our negative feelings and re-telling our painful stories to everyone we meet, those feelings would fade. So, quit restimulating them every moment of your life and let them fade already!! :) Spotlight’s on you: Can you think of an area of your life where the feeling would fade if you’d just stop restimulating it?!?
#5. Feeling can be influenced by behavior. We cannot control them by our will but we can by our behavior. How we decide to act will dictate how we feel. Powerful stuff. Negative emotions cause bad feelings observing the feeling at the time to understand the reason for the feeling to be present, by stepping out of “ourselves” and becoming an observer will bring about the answer we need to know in the moment so we can make a decision in the action to take. Taking the action will change the feeling and reset the emotion.
We control our behavior. Working within life’s limit produce a fine self image. The more control we have over our action. The greater the chance of producing a self to be proud of.

99% is a bitch and 100% is a breeze

2010-03-29T08:58:00.000-07:00

What is it, it’s all about commitment to be committed is to accept all facets of a project, from start to finish. First step to live consciously, that start a journey of wonder through the real world. Entering a sacred path of total practicality. Committing to the journey make us totally aware. Expressing gratitude for the gift of life.
Interview with Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell,
Moyers: “In this sense, unlike heroes such as Prometheus or Jesus, we’re not going on our journey to save the world but to save ourselves.”
Campbell: “But in doing that, you save the world.
Moyers: “Do you ever have this sense when you are following your bliss, as I have at moments, of being helped by hidden hands?”

Campbell: “All the time. It is miraculous. I even have a superstition that has grown on me as a result of invisible hands coming all the time—namely, that if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.”

When we give 100% commitment to anything, we will see miracles happen just like helping hands coming to participate in the effort and it becomes “effortless effort”. Announcing to the world at large our commitment enhance the likelihood of success. If we want to unexpected magic we need to throw away our baggage, commit and let the invisible hands guide us on our quest! :)
A key aspect of living consciously is to BE PRESENT. We can’t do that if we’re constantly churning through the negative stories of our past. We’ve gotta let it go and become present to the joy of this moment and the thrill of our glorious future.
We all have watch a terrible movie we didn’t like, we might even sat there and painfully watch it to the bitter end. I doubt greatly that we would watch that movie ever again, correct? Now why are we playing the same movie over and over again in our mind of something that cause stress and unhappiness? Why? It is time to let go of those “bad” movies.
Let’s reflect on that wisdom again and see if we can’t shake the habit!
First, how about some old school Vernon Howard wisdom from his classic The Power of Your Supermind He says: “A chief cause of unhappiness is what I call mental movies. Mental movies are a misuse of the imagination. You know how it goes. You have a painful experience with someone, then run it over and over in your mind. You visualize what you said, what he did, how you both felt. As awful as it is, you feel compelled to repeat the film day and night. It is as if you were locked inside a theatre playing a horrible movie.”
That’s just like driving your vehicle staring at the rearview mirror, risky isn’t it? Another powerful element, to commit to self esteem, accepting the whole of ourselves not just part is the best principle to achieve self esteem, the first steps of healing and growth are awareness and acceptance. Not enough can be said about the subject of accepting and loving oneself as we are. Carl Yung says fine the gold in the darkness. Living in harmony with the way things are grounding ourselves in reality and choosing those things we want to change about ourselves, but first embracing things as they are.
The Stoic from 2000 years past knew the principle of growth listen to what they have to say from way back.
Epictetus: “We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.”
Aurelius: “Your mind will be like its habitual thoughts; for the soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts. Soak it then in such trains of thoughts as, for example: Where life is possible at all, a right life is possible.”
And Seneca: “As it is with a play, so it is with life—what matters is not how long the acting lasts, but how good it is.”
Stoics rock.
Setting goals with a total open mind to all possibilities and not in an either/or duality conflict, instead accepting both/and. Its weird how we thing in either/or when actually we need to thing inclusively of everything. Expressing our spirituality through our work and our meditation/prayer time. Not a matter of being successful in business or being spiritual expressing both, live both one through the other. Surely a different concept of what we are use too.
Ninety nine percent commitment is not possible only one hundred percent or not committed at all.

How to locate and secure the top prospect.

2010-03-28T20:59:00.000-07:00

In his brilliant book, "A Brief History of Time," Professor Stephen Hawking opens with the story of a well-known scientist who gave a public lecture on astronomy. The scientist described how the moon orbits the earth, the earth orbits the sun, and how our solar system orbits around the center of the galaxy. When he finished, a little old lady got up and said, "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise."

The scientist gave a knowing smile and replied, "What is the tortoise standing on?"

Hey! Yes! You guessed it! There is no convincing the little old lady, no then there is convincing you’re dumb brother-in-law, that network marketing is not always an illegal pyramid scam. As we have learn with Mentoring For Free it’s no use trying to convince, persuade or sell to negative people. Sorting our prospect and looking for the ones with an open mind.
Sponsoring is a process, and each prospect involves a different process. Some take longer some get it faster. Not selling or closing anyone, rather, provide the proper information to each prospect at his/her own level. See the color video.
In Network Marketing we are looking for people motivated enough to take action themselves. We first create a relationship with the prospect, offering all available information and support thus creating a trusting environment. Then we simply expose them to our opportunity giving them the time to ponder and evaluate the offer. And let them make the best decision for themselves. Stay clear no close minded people. They are too much work, and they're no fun to be around.
It’s a sorting process, a progressive journey involving stages where the prospect indicate his/her level of interest and commitment. As leader and mentor we must respect the prospect process of elimination and learning.
More than 80% of the people out there are trading time for money on a job they don’t even like. 99% of them go from paycheck to paycheck numbed by the system thinking they should be making more money… Do you understand something? You don't need these people. They desperately need and want what you have to offer. So stop thinking, "Who can I get to do this?" Start thinking, "Who would
I like to offer this opportunity to?" And what you are offering is FREEDOM.
So relax and put your best smile on and tell your story. Someone is waiting for you to reach out.
Mentoring For Free offers the best training system available for any networker.

What is "failure"?!? And what to do with it

2010-03-26T10:59:00.000-07:00

We’ve heard many stories of “failures”, from scientist in research, to inventors in developing new ideas, sports figures, business people, many, many experiences of “failures” in as many individuals that try anything. It seems that there is a correlation between impending success and “failure”. Just like in every journey we can count on encountering stumbling blocks and speed bump, so it is in anything we are going to meet lady “failure” at one time or another.
When this happen, we have a choice between two possibilities.
1. We can quit and then find excuses for why it didn’t work. Most time blaming external influences.
2. We can carry on and find excuses to give us courage to try again. Learning from what didn’t work and find different ways to make it work. Sometimes choosing that path can actually direct us toward something all together different than what we first plan to achieve. To get to the goal is what’s important how to get there seems to be of no choice to us.
Making friend and embracing “failure” is the best way to find what works and what doesn’t, giving us all we need to achieve our goals. We all experiences ups and downs, time of success and time of failure. Doing what we thing is best and carry on until something happen, courageously, sturdily, and continuously. There is no hot without a cold, opposite are part of life and necessary to a great and rewarding life. Coming to term with “failure” is a must to achieve success.
A few quotes from celebrities that understood the process.
Here’s what Michael Jordan, one of the greatest athletes *ever* has to say about failure: “I’ve missed more than nine thousand shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” (That’s from a Nike commercial. It’s strong. Check it on the site.)
Robert F. Kennedy tells us that: “Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.”
And David Viscott tells us that: “In the end, the only people who fail are those who don’t try.”
What’s YOUR relationship to “failure”?!?
Have you made peace with it and gone so far as to see it as a necessary part of doing anything, let alone achieving greatness?
Well I don’t know about you, I am going to see if I can fail again in a project dear to me. Sorry, I am not setting myself for failure instead I am planning for success, allowing for learning experiences along the way to teach me the right way of doing things, How about you want to join in?

What are all those voices inside of us?

2010-03-25T11:57:00.000-07:00

What are all those voices inside of us? is it schizophrenia, or bipolar? What is their purpose? If any? Sometimes they can be so loud and disturbing, Should we get read of them or listen to them, how to sort things out when they are speaking? So many unanswered questions.
Anything that’s inside of us has a purpose and I mean everything the good the bad and the real ugly we need to tune in and listen, from that will come peace and balance.
Imagine running a business with employees, now you are in charge and you are the one giving each employee his/her job description. Before you can actually create a job description you need to know that employee’s specialty, knowledge, work habit and so on, then and only then you can match the job description to the employee. After it’s just a matter of keeping the communication open and allow the employee to perform.
So it is with the voice inside, first finding who’s who in there, by asking simple questions and noting the answers. When identification is done we can start a conversation with that one voice and find out the purpose of it and create a job description. An unhappy employee will cause stress in the system, an unhappy inner voice will do the same. Listen and listen carefully, it’s for your best interest.
One of my voices can create at time struggle from within; identifying it was actually quite simple. When ever in a dealing process if for some reason the deal doesn’t occur has planned and I feel I have been taken advantage of, and I walk away unhappy that voice that I have identified has “the collector” will start speaking and I don’t like what it say. By starting a dialogue I learn from that voice what has happen and realized that in reality the deal was not favorable and should be dealt with. Then the voice become a person and takes over from the gentle one and will deal with the issue. I can actually stand by and observe the process. Give it a try quite enlightening and totally stress free. The collector goes to work, re open the deal and work it out to be fair for both parties. At time he will go and collect, something I hate doing, and it serves me well. And freeing the “True Self” from getting embarrassed in the moment.
Integration of all inner voices and personalities, to make easier to comprehend let use two opposite that function in everyone of us. Feminin/Masculin and to bring the point home let’s use an old story.
Imagine a female horse (a mare) giving birth to a little baby horse (a foal). Now, this foal isn’t too healthy. It’s struggling to get up and stand upright—a very important event for a newborn horse. The momma horse is working and working to support the little guy and a few other female horses cruise over to help out as well.
Nothing seems to be helping, though.
This goes on for awhile when, suddenly, a stallion appears, breaks through the mares, picks the little foal up in his mouth, carries him to the edge of the meadow and slams him into the ground—ending his life.
That’s feminine and masculine compassion.
One is nurturing and supportive. The other is ruthless and decisive. BOTH (!!!) are essential for an integrated compassion.
Not to integrate both into our life is like owning a supper sports car and having it stuck in first gear. Eventually something, not good, is going to happen. Start the dialogue and take notes write things down, keep a journal, Identify the voices within and what is their gift, and when need call on them to create the environment and execute the work at hand.

Working with the Law of Attraction

2010-03-24T07:59:00.000-07:00

What is it that you want? A simple question and a loaded one. Do we really know what we want? Really, really?
Did you know that the Law of Attraction state that there is nothing that you cannot be, do or have? And that that which is like unto itself is drawn. Meaning that if I want positive things to happen in my life I need to focus on positive things within me. It’s magic. Or is it? There is an old saying that we will harvest what we saw. Nothing more nothing less. Do you want to receive love then start living it. Start loving everything and everyone freely abundantly and it will come. To be in tune with what we want its’ creating it and receiving it. Doubtful that this is the way it works? Give it a try, seat down now and appreciate someone, anyone, your wife, your kid, your co-worker, anyone, just take a few minutes and write down something appreciative about someone and either tell them or give them the note and see what happen. Go ahead try it. Another important fact, be grateful for everything that you have right now and make a list. Just look around you and focus on one thing and be grateful that someone actually took the time to invent it someone else to manufacture it and again another to bring it to you so that your life might be fuller and your work easier to do. Be appreciative and grateful for that one thing and see how you feel now.
I use to give my boss a birthday present every year. Most time a gift certificate to his favored pub. One year I decided to do something different, I wrote a letter telling him how much I appreciated working for him and all that I learned since I started my job. I also mentioned how much I was impressed with his way of dealing with everyday problems and situation. At that time his wife was fighting cancer. The effect of that letter for his birthday was like nothing I expected. I gave it to him first thing in the morning and he came to see me at lunch time. His attitude was totally different than usual and he was near tears. Not something that ever happens before, or since. Our relationship changed from that point on for the better. Try it and see what happen.
I think I am going to stop here for few minutes and write a love note to my wife of 36 years.
OK I am back. And feeling awesome.
So what is it that you want? Take the time to ponder this and write it down, visualize it and keep it in front of you at all time, then go do the next thing in front of you and dedicate it to what you want. Esther and Jerry say: “One who is a visionary thrives in all times.” And one who is an observer doesn’t. What does that means? Observing your life and looking for outside motivation instead of inner intuition brings only what you observe. Blaming everything and everyone for your own lack is to be an observer, tuning into your inner voice and creating a vision of your desire, that’s happiness at its best.
Recharging our energy load bank, a very simple process, feeling down, feeling low, that’s the indication, your energy load bank need refueling. Nothing to get obsess about, just a fact of life accept it for what it is. When you are hungry you eat, you’re not getting obsess by it you just refuel and carry on. When you are tired you rest, a good night sleep that’s refueling. The same applies to our energy level, when you feel negative, it is the sign that you need to refuel. Changing your thoughts will do that, When feeling low, or depressed, or frustrated or any of the same feelings ask yourself “what do I want instead”? And look for more positive thoughts, one way to recharge is to express gratitude, yeah here it is again, gratitude is food for the soul, the same as groceries are food for the body. So go feel up. The same you don’t get upset when you are hungry, you just feed yourself, the same applies no need to get angry for being down, just notice the sign and go do what needs to be done. Sometime a little dance, or a song, or anything that sheer you up will do the trick and you will be full again until next time. It’s just like entering a dark room, just sat there and complains about the darkness, even swear at it, and kick a fuss, still dark? Yep. How about reaching for the switch and turning the light on look how the darkness disappears. Amazing, is it not? Simple and a very small effort indeed. Next time you feel down just lighter up and see what happen.
“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”~ Wayne Dyer
3 simple steps to manifest your desire . 1. Get clear on what you want.
2. Know that you wouldn’t have the desire if you/the Universe didn’t have the ability to bring it to life.
3. Joyously and enthusiastically do the next little thing in front of you.
Repeat 1 to 3. And again appreciation of others and of all things will match the vibration of the Universe and everything become possible.

Need help with this, get in touch with us and we can work together to realize your dreams.

How responsible are we?!?

2010-03-23T09:58:00.000-07:00

Have you watched the news? I mean really watch and implicating yourself within the stories? Crime, murders, wars, bombing, destruction, greed, fear, desire for power and on and on.
Witnessing this from a distance and being totally detached of responsibilities and outcome is dysfunctional collectiveness. And as a member of this society we are individually responsible for the outcome. It is time we seriously start to consider our involvement and recognize our individual actions as part of the whole result and own it. Only then can the situation changes, it is up to each one of us to claim responsibility for what is happening in the world.
Scientific research proved that it only takes the square root of 1% of the population to create a change. That’s 100 volunteers per 1 million people. “If you can find one person among then I will not destroy Sodom and Gomorrah”…
The great tradition has named this dysfunction of the mind. Christianity of the western world call it “sin” and also point into the direction of “salvation” or “enlightenment” in the eastern beliefs. Whatever our individual beliefs are we all know what the answer is. What needs to take place is for us to embrace fully the role that we are playing in the production called “life”. Only then can change take place.
To recognize one’s own insanity is, of course, the arising of sanity, the beginning of healing and transcendence. Eckhart Tolle. A new earth.
We all have our own beliefs and act accordingly; we might attend religious ceremonies, go the church, one a week, and then resume our everyday life full of controversies going against our beliefs. Expressing our feelings of hate, anger, frustration toward anyone in our way. Our level of spirituality as nothing to do with what we believe, but everything to do with our state of consciousness and that’s what determines how we act toward each others. Taking the time to ponder the facts will bring to light our own responsibilities and allow us to bring about the changes we like to see in our society and in our world, back to us individuals.
Haven is not a place somewhere out there, it’s a realm of consciousness. By transforming our human consciousness will bring about change in the physical world.
Ego is no more than this: identification with form. Which primarily means thought forms. If evil has any reality-and it as relative, not an absolute, reality- this is also its definition: complete identification with form- physical forms, thoughts forms, emotional forms. This results in a total unawareness of my connectedness whit the whole, my intrinsic oneness with the Source. This forgetfulness id original sin, suffering, delusion. When this delusion of utter separateness underlies and governs what I think, say, and do, what kind of world do I create? To find the answer to this, observe how humans relate to each other, read history book, or watch the news on TV tonight. From A new Earth Eckhart Tolle.
This really need to be reflected upon. The reason for so much suffering in the world “MY” My car, my house, my toys, my, my, my. Just imagine for a minute that someone’s watch was stolen, somebody’s car was wrecked, someone else’s wife cheated on them. Unfortunate but not a big deal, right? Now imagine that “my” watch was stolen, “my” car was wrecked, “my” partner cheating on me. Take on a whole new meaning doesn’t it?
Life will give us the most helpful experience we need for the evolution of your consciousness. How do we know it’s the experience we need? Just because it is the one we are having now. Byron Katie says “ how do I know the wind should blow? It is blowing now” And she adds “when I argue with reality, I lose but only 100% of the time” Powerful stuff indeed.
The stronger the judgment of someone else’s action, the greater the mirror image there is. When I strongly dislike something in another it points out to my shortcoming. Carl Yung call it “the shadow” Coming to the realization of our own fault, by looking at others, and then bringing about the change that need to take place is the beginning of the change that in turn will take place in the whole human race. If I am annoyed when people express greed or anger or anything that I identify in them, I need to look at myself and own the same faults or qualities, yes it works both way. Powerful, uplifting exercise. Give it a try next time and see what happen.
We cannot choose external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond. Epictetus in his Enchiridion.
There is nothing good or bad, but what we make it. Hamlet.
Are you victim of your circumstanced, or do you realize that you have the power to choose how you respond to a situation.
With all my love.

Is it possible that it's allright?!?

2010-03-16T17:39:00.000-07:00

For most of my life, I have been studying, reading, going to seminars, trying to fix what's wrong with me, trying to find the solutions to my problems.
I literally spent thousands of dollars to improve my situation. Some things changed but most of it stayed the same. Every book and every seminar and every video or tape always had something missing…
And after years of searching how to fix my problems, how to repair what was supposedly broken I came to realize that perhaps it could be different.

But what if there's nothing 'wrong'? What if there's nothing broken that needs fixing? What if we're just here having an experience and learning stuff? That would mean that trying to 'fix' anything would
feel like a failure, because it wouldn't work if there's nothing wrong, and would just attract more things that appear to need fixing. Isn’t that the way the Law Of Attraction works? What I concentrate our thoughts on will come to Me? So I f I concentrate on “fixing” when there is nothing to fix, then what more “fixing” will come.
I was born and very quickly I learned to communicate my needs. The from laying there I learned to crawl, from crawling I stood up and fell, nothing broken nothing to fix just learning how to stand. Then I start walking I also start to talk not so good but some people understood my gibberish… Was not perfect but got better. I learned to run too didn’t make it the first time nothing to fix just keep learning. I didn’t go to school because something was broken, just to learn. Then I lost some teeth nothing broken just growing, and more learning. Then I became a teenager now there was a lot to fix there… But that’s another story 
What if we studied and read and went to seminars just because it felt good? Just to get the experience of feeling something that we haven't? Just to get our hands in the clay, so to speak, and see what happens? What if there is nothing broken nothing to fix just a process? Just a continuum of life itself?
After I turned this in my head a few time it felt really good. I love nothing to fix and I love nothing is broken make me feel awesome. So I am going to keep learning and one of the great teaching is our weekly call, “ 30 days Mental Cleanse”. I invite all of you to participate it’s a life changing experience, a very uplifting time. Get in contact with me and I will give you all the information needed to access the call.
It’s good to be here.

Zorba the Buddha???

2010-03-15T13:38:00.000-07:00

Power house in today’s book review. Who’s this guy Osho?, where is he from ? Why I haven’t heard of him before? And many more questions. Remind me of hiking high up over 10,000 ft where the oxygen become depleted and deeper and longer and it become harder and harder, the higher we go , each breath is a great effort. Then we come back down and suddenly breathing become easy and refreshing and energizing. So it is with this book a real supply of much needed oxygen.
This morning I am discovering things that are innate, that were always here within and trying to conform, again that word, I allow for outside influences to dictates my way of life. Many light bulbs came back on today as I read the notes.
Zorba the Buddha, what a wholesome, handsome picture. All my life, or at least as far as I can remembered, I know that picture I always wondered if this proper balance could be aver achieved, could I be myself all the time, and at the same time be at the right place at the right time? Meaning be in the flow.
Love the paragraph on discipline. I was exposed to real discipline when I join the army, marching to my own beat, became a real challenge. Forced to march to the army beat pretty took the life out of me, I tried hard to adjust and the worst it get. When I was left to my own I performed admirably, the army does not condone individualism unless it serve its purpose. I was doomed from the very start. So I finished my 7 year contract and ran away from it as fast and as hard I could. I do have my own self discipline and I get things done efficiently and proficiently. Off course I had my ups and downs learning self discipline and I did it and I am very happy the way things are. When I am committed, I am committed not two ways about it; I can also adjust when needed. Don’t need anybody tell me what to do. Or how to do it. If I don’t know I will ask. I love self discipline and I am baffled by people that need to be told what to do every minutes of the day. Puzzles me.
When growing up I was told many times to be like this one or this one and to me that was total aberration, although I didn’t not understood the process. I can I be someone else when I am so busy being myself? There is people I admire although I was great respect I cannot bring myself to be them, don’t work. I learn from people all the time, I Cherish the time spent with them, and that’s as far as it goes. Imitating I might at time just to see how it feels and so far it’s always been disappointing, it’s not me. I am so glad to read this today because deep down I knew I was right being myself. No so now but when growing up I questioned myself frequently, why can I be like everyone else? The answer? There is too many of them already so I am different. Great stuff.
Self expression is another one of those “quality” that need to be promoted. And I am a fervent supporter of it. For 15 years we were foster parent for kids that no one else wanted. One of the thing we would tell the kids was however it is you want to express yourself it OK we will sort it out latter. Better being free than being politically correct. This way we were able to listen and understand more than the words. And it always sorted itself out, great things happened during those years, great things.
This is the sprinkles on this already great tasting cake, “Man is not born perfect. He is born incomplete, he is born as a process. He is born on the way, as a pilgrim. Reading this propels me into space totally, unreservedly, I am totally free and loving it. There is no need for me to explain anything further, if you don’t get it go fry yourself an egg well done.

Follow your Bliss

2010-03-11T14:02:00.000-08:00

Searching the past for the BLISS, for me this is a very emotional and spiritual exercise,. I went way back, as far as I can remember and work my way back until today. Very emotional indeed. What I realized is the periods of BLISS in my life always take place when I was involved with group or organization and providing a service. Giving soul food to people attending, either through music or teaching, lectures, one on one, counseling, listening, and offering solutions. The only set back is that I could not make a living doing this, so I dabbled into all kinds of trade, from insurance sales, to cooking and driving. The only occupation that served me well was the electrical electronic industry with all the high tech paraphernalia. And even during that time the BLISS was to solve problems, training apprentice, teaching, making presentation, are the highlight of my carrier. Today I dedicate my time to learning, reading, absorbing all about the law of attraction and personal growth. And offering counseling services on a personal level. Also facilitating workshops and soon to come seminar helping people discover the potential within. Helping people finding and connecting with their higher self. That’s my BLISS, that’s where I performed the best and that’s where I am alive and vibrating.
Discovering the spiritual practice, for me is “I write stories about real life mostly my own”. What I learn from each experience and how I can share with others and help them discover their spiritual gifts. Where am I in my journey? This last one is getting the best of me. I had many great journeys and this one is so far the most powerful and the most lasting of all. Not sure if I am on my way back or on the way in still. Most time I think I am on my way back and every so often I am not sure, today is one of those, not sure. Discovery, discovery and more discoveries a total BLISS in itself, I love discovering, creating new things. 25 years ago a friend and I set ourselves to start a bible school. We had no money, no support from the community, just the two of us. And just by miracle everything fell in place. I sequence of event allowed us acquire a building for $1.00. It was an old convent, the perfect place for a bible school. That lasted 25 years. The school was closed last year for some political reason. During the time of “building” I felt great and fulfilled. Bringing back the BOON. Yeah I go along with that, love the concept, might not be another school but something similar and I am working at it NOW!!! Blessings come in many forms and sometimes very quiet like. Today’s note is a blessing in disguise, feels great and alive. Anyone interested here is a link, one of the first step in the process of bringing the boon back. http://tocleaders.com/bernardt/

Positive thinking and Attention Deficit Disorder

2010-03-07T18:21:00.000-08:00

At first glance, it would seem that positive thinking and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) have nothing to do with one another. But many of us with ADD develop negative thinking patterns because we become frustrated by our challenges and frequent feelings of being overwhelmed. This negative outlook then makes it even harder for us to manage those challenges and move forward.
Practicing positive thinking allows people with ADD to focus on our strengths and accomplishments, which increases happiness and motivation. This, in turn, allows us to spend more time making progress, and less time feeling down and stuck. The following tips provide practical suggestions that you can use to help you shift into more positive thinking patterns:
1. Take Good Care of Yourself
It's much easier to be positive when you are eating well, exercising, and getting enough rest.

2. Remind Yourself of the Things You Are Grateful For
Stresses and challenges don't seem quite as bad when you are constantly reminding yourself of the things that are right in life. Start writing down fifty; yes 50, things you can be grateful for. Then taking just 60 seconds a day to stop and appreciate the good things will make a huge difference.

3. Look for the Proof Instead of Making Assumptions
A fear of not being liked or accepted sometimes leads us to assume that we know what others are thinking, but our fears are usually not reality. If you have a fear that a friend or family member's bad mood is due to something you did, or that your co-workers are secretly gossiping about you when you turn your back, speak up and ask them. Don't waste time worrying that you did something wrong unless you have proof that there is something to worry about.

4. Refrain from Using Absolutes
Have you ever told a partner "You're ALWAYS late!" or complained to a friend "You NEVER call me!"? Thinking and speaking in absolutes like 'always' and 'never' makes the situation seem worse than it is, and programs your brain into believing that certain people are incapable of delivering.

5. Detach From Negative Thoughts
Your thoughts can't hold any power over you if you don't judge them. If you notice yourself having a negative thought, detach from it, witness it, and don't follow it. You can also flip it around, turn it on it’s head and it will do magic for you.

6. Squash the "ANTs"
In his book "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life," Dr. Daniel Amen talks about "ANTs" - Automatic Negative Thoughts. These are the bad thoughts that are usually reactionary, like "Those people are laughing, they must be talking about me," or "The boss wants to see me? It must be bad!" When you notice these thoughts, realize that they are nothing more than ANTs and squash them!

7. Practice Lovin', Touchin' & Squeezin' (Your Friends and Family)
You don't have to be an expert to know the benefits of a good hug. Positive physical contact with friends, loved ones, and even pets, is an instant pick-me-up. One research study on this subject had a waitress touch some of her customers on the arm as she handed them their checks. She received higher tips from these customers than from the ones she didn't touch!

8. Increase Your Social Activity
By increasing social activity, you decrease loneliness. Surround yourself with healthy, happy people, and their positive energy will affect you in a positive way!

9. Volunteer for an Organization, or Help another Person
Everyone feels good after helping. You can volunteer your time, your money, or your resources. The more positive energy you put out into the world, the more you will receive in return.

10. Use Pattern Interrupts to Combat Rumination
If you find yourself ruminating, a great way to stop it is to interrupt the pattern and force yourself to do something completely different. Rumination is like hyper-focus on something negative. It's never productive, because it's not rational or solution-oriented, it's just excessive worry. Try changing your physical environment - go for a walk or sit outside. You could also call a friend, pick up a book, or turn on some music.

One last thing change your vocabulary. Lear new words power words like Do you use the words "can't", "won't", "don't need to", "why try"? Many people do. Practice these empowering words instead. “I can”, “I love to”, “I want to”, “I will”, “I must”, “I am.”
How about changing your vocabulary to a more positive one and see what happen. Why not change if you don’t like what you have now what can happen if you decide to speak in a new way.
Don’t know how. Easy look at this e book first then get in contact and I will set you up to a better life style. But only if you want to.

I do find myself too busy to add anymore to my time table, and then reading the note this morning I got thinking what can I remove from my busy schedule and replace it with something more productive, more in line with my purpose. That’s when the light went in. I used to get up at 7:00 get coffee ready and wake my wife up. Since I started the PN I get up earlier so I can read the notes, then make coffee and wake up my wife. I changed some of my routine and do certain things the night before so that the morning is free for personal development. For a while now I am thinking on finding time to go back to the gym and it doesn’t open early enough. How can I re-arrange my world to go to the gym? And this morning the light went on and I can go in the evening. We usually have supper around 6 I can get things cleaned up and go to the gym at 7:30 8:00, its open ‘till 10:00pm plenty of time to do my work out. Cool got it.
Blueprinting. Love the way it sound don’t you? Being an engineer by trade ( please don’t hold it against me) I love blueprinting, I found out that in my trade mapping a blue print is 75% of the work, by creating a blue print we can detect those things that won’t work even before starting the project, so it does make sense to activate the imaginative process and construct from there thus avoiding costly or discouraging errors. Years ago when we sold the farm, yeah did that too, we were looking to purchase a motor home. So I started dreaming about it and creating a life style around the motor home, than we went and look at one, seat in it for 2 hours and my wife made a comment, “ that look like shores on wheels” so we ended buying a house instead with garage, garden and a lot more room. Lately we were discussing the possibilities of acquiring a large yacht where we could live on and travel. Again the visualization and planning before taking the action. I love boat and I love navigation, I am a water baby, I have the skipper training and experience so no problem that way. Guess what we are going to do? Right buy a bigger house that’s what. Doing the research I found out that living on a yacht no matter how big is very limiting. We still need a place to park things. So instead we are looking at leasing whenever we want to take a trip. Use it give it back no hassle with keeping a berth and maintenance. Do you know that the cost of maintaining a yacht is around 10 to 15% of the cost of the yacht per year? Nuts. Blueprinting is really worth it and extremely entertaining.
I a getting the meaning of “focused energy”, the more I focus on what me purpose is and the more I direct my energy toward it the better I feel , took me a while and I am getting there. “if you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being. Then I warn you that you’ll be unhappy for the rest of your life”.
Powerful, powerful quote. Energizing to say the list and a wake up call. I have been looking for happiness in all the wrong places, I found it here when I purposely discover my purpose and do it on purpose. Another quote that keeps me awakes, from Esther Hicks “It is easy to create a castle as a button. It’s just a matter of whether you’re focused on a castle or a button”.
Isn’t it grant that all greatness all purpose is to serve one way or the other, when looking at it this way half of the work is done. Serving purpose number one, accepting that fact allow me to discover and decide how I am going to fulfill my purpose. And same applies when we have found what we love to do we need to just applying it in service to others, and the magic happens. For me I needed to learn the difference between being a servant and being of service. Now that I have all is well and on its way.

The first 30 days Ariane De Bonvoising

Eight year ago we were traveling westward, looking for a place that offers similar jobs and the right place to settle down and eventually retire to. Seven years ago I was offered a job on the west coast on Vancouver Island, the perfect place the perfect job. Although I enjoy the comfort, I always stretch for changes, my adventurer personality allow for me to seek new ventures, new places to explore new and better things. And somewhat a the same time a part of me refuse the changes, stay put it says, that little voice hardly wins, the other one is much stronger. Our former life was quite good, beside the mortgage for the house we had no debt. Then we moved and that started a whole new life style. First of all, after many promises my wife could not find a job equal to what she was doing before. Thus our revenue was pretty well cut in half, and that would be ok if our expenses stay the same but they soared. After 3 years it as obvious that she would not find a similar situation so she decided to start her own business, organic soap making, the old fashion way. A year of research and trying she found the secret of making 50 and 60% pure shea butter soap. There is nobody anywhere that can do that. She also formulated different skin care products and cream with shea butter. It was a still is an uphill venture but worth every penny invested. It seems that not until we were able to accept the changes that was thrown at us, and work with it, that we were able to work ahead. The future is very promising. More changes are taking place in our life and yes something we grow a bit tired, all together we are open to new things and for me it’s quite exiting what is coming next. “The Change Guarantee: Every change we experience always brings something positive into our lives. It may not be obvious immediately, but it ALWAYS does”.
Yes indeed I never looked at it this way but reading this just brings a whole new way of looking at the process of change.
And the little demons, here they are doubt and impatience these are my companions and I should say that since I started practicing daily meditation they are not as strong as they used too. Oh they are here alright, it’s more like the notes put it, part of the guidance system, yes I like that paying attention that’s what it’s all about, accepting everything as part of the process. I remember when we were traveling through France we acquired a GPS for practicality. Every so often we decided to change our course to go visit something or a place that we were driving by. At that point the GPS would start talking and say “please find a place to turn around you are going the wrong way” And it would do that continuously. The funny part is that my wife starts arguing with it. Just like our demons hey they are there to as indicators, and we decide the course to take. Admirable, I love it. This revelation is going to make things a lot easier from now on. And just like the GPS if the voice become disturbing just hit the off button for a while. Or reprogram the GPS for alternative routes.
The other good point and I know we came across that one before, is to accept the presence of fear. I have noticed that when practicing extreme sports like rock climbing for example or white water rafting is another one. Fear is present, as an indicator, a safety valve I think. Making sure all is secure and well usually tones down the fear. When teaching rock climbing I had student letting go of their breakfast just before the climb. When this occurs I tell them that it is a normal reaction not to worry I knew that this person will make it. I was more concern with the dare devil, no apparent fear they are usually the one we had to rescue half way up the climb. In places, fear is a good thing to have. Whenever I find myself I situation like that I always have a certain apprehension, or fear, of what could go wrong, and it always served me well. Thanks to this exercise, I am now comfortable with fears around.
One of my climbing friends was just like that fearless always stretching the limits. One time due to his carelessness he fell 120 ft down the raging Sunwapta falls in Jasper Park. A whale of a ride. Came out of it shaken up unhurt .Made four different news paper and all kinds of articles. Guess what? After that he now face fears and find him limited to city life. Has done any climb or even hikes ever since. Maybe I send him the notes….

Ken Wilber, adopting another point of view

2010-02-18T20:26:00.000-08:00

The difference in between extrovert sensate and introvert intuitive. Just a matter of function and perception.
To me Ken Wilber is pure magic pure intrinsic interaction of total reality, if this seems like gibberish to you, that is because we’re at both end of the spectrum when it comes to capture the essence of what is reality for ME.
I Love this kind of elevation into a different sphere of learning and integration, that is where I evolve and operate at my best. And for the purpose of passing on the knowledge acquired I need to integrate at the majority’s level of perception and I use to find that very difficult and could not understand how come people around me could not understand. So I had to translate to be able to pass it on. One time I told someone that “the rule of the game was not harder than the game itself” You should have seen the look on their face. Priceless. Made total sense to me.
I have learned to be able to operate, most of the time, at both extreme and it is very rewarding. Operating in a total allegorical sphere of motion is just as important and I might say, is equal in value, to the more simplistic idea of pre-conception/conception, based on reality as we see it. Everything is born from a though, everything is first and foremost created from an image born from within. Directly created from energy, understanding the process actualize transformation in a pure state of divine possibilities.
Thinking that we have all the truth hold in one position versus accepting the possibility that another or more truth or part thereof can exist, is arrogance at its best, and the cause of so many conflicts deriving from stubbornness of principles. The truth is the truth is the truth, now we can say that in 100’s of different languages and every time we translate it back the meaning of it has changed, thus creating an new idea, a new perception, rejecting it doesn’t make it wrong it actualize it into a new form or intention, creating a new debate of possibilities.
This is what love and hate is made o, and at that point we choose to accept or reject, and our personal choice makes all the difference in what our personal life is and determine what our personal future is going to be. As for me I decide that we are all right listening to our own personal voice, and it is OK to be heard but not really to shout to be heard. Conflicts are fought on the basis of forcing, shouting, a voice of believe into another voice of a different approach. And that the things that wars are made off, and any other dysfunctional process and situation. One action for one result with 100’s of different way to make it happen and everyone acceptable ones at that, if willing to accept.
I never heard or read Ken Wilber, it’s time to get to it. One more things , can the ocean be enjoyable and dangerous at the same time? Imagination prevail….

Amen Hallelujah; Amen Hallelujah; Amen Hallelujah; Amen Hallelujah; Amen Hallelujah; Amen Hallelujah;
I am responsible and in charge of my life, past present and future.
I am so grateful and so glad I decided to enter the contest; these last 27 days have been a fountain of learning and growth. Friends are visiting from out of town, good people, just like us, hard working all their life and we love them dearly. Since last time we were together,2 years ago, so much changes has taken place in our life, listening to their “blaming” talk, every so often I caught myself agreeing with the complaining and the blaming, and it is a continuous watch of my own thoughts as they speak. I know the time to talk to them and explain is not here yet, and I also know that they are noticing the change in us and their mind is going 100 miles an hour right now and soon they will ask questions. For now I am observing the process that is taking place in me. Just a few months ago I would have been judging and wanting to change them. Today, I ware an inner smile, I am happy and I love them and I think I love them more than I use too. Oh I love this so much more today…. Thank you!
New attitude and behavior to be acquired or improved.
1. Just observing behavior and attitude understanding that they have no impact in my choices.
2. Observing my own thoughts free of judgments.
3. Accepting the differences and understanding the differences, and the value they create
4. Being open and receptive to new ideas.
Yes indeed I like the mental process of growing. Observing plants how they carry on no matter what is happening around them. Totally uninfluenced by external activities they just do what they are supposed to do, growing and producing constant and continuous effort toward the goal. Everything exists to teach me something new every day.
Visualization and idealization. I know of the first word and I practice it all the time the second one is slightly foreign to me, especially when used with visualization. This is a new one for me I usually visualize a goal; I can picture the outcome of a project, very easily. Then I focus on the work needed in the moment knowing that each step is necessary to accomplish the goal. Continuously keeping the picture of the finish project during the process? I need to study that a little deeper. At this point I am able to visualize pretty well anything I want to see happen. For me I have difficulties visualizing in the distant future, 3 to 5 years, I think more in visualizing something and see it happen way sooner And I think this is what cause stress and frustration in my life. Allowing for time. I am the instant kind a guy, I like to see things happen rater quickly. Something to really ponder upon. Idealization, hey?
Remind me of a client that brought us a sophisticated piece of equipment for repair. This machine was very important to him, his business could not function without it and nothing was available to replace it. So I decide I was going to get to it and get it repair ASAP. He asked when will it be ready and was told it would take two days to repair he went into a rage. This is not acceptable, it has to be done sooner, I have to have it now. On and on. I patiently waited until he was done and explain that it takes time to rebuild the unit, he finally left and I went to work. Two hours later he was back swearing and cussing the whole world for what was happening. And again I explain all that I could and he went away again not happy at all. Once again he comes. Before he entered the shop the counter person called me and said “Bernard he is back”. So I went and again listen to him for a good 20 minutes when he was done I said “listen, I would rather work on your machine instead of talking to you every couple of hours, It’s you money, you spend it the way you want to, pay me to talk to you or pay me to repair your unit it’s up to you. The more you come and interfere the more it’s going to cost and the longer you will have to wait”. And I asked him to make the decision. I promised that I will call him as soon the work is done. He did agree and left us alone to get the job done. I guess I need to tell myself that it take time to accomplish anything some longer than others Yeah indeed I do.

For the longest time in my life, I listen to the nay sayers, when sharing my visions and they tell me that it is impossible it, is not for me, and many other such a comments. One day I finally realized who my enemy was, not the guy that try to rob me or cause harm to me, instead it’s the good friend that tell me “you can’t” or “ it’s not for you” or any other of those very helpful comment. Your best friend can be the dream s stiller. Second any one?
In the past few years I have come to realize that no dream is too big or too small, it is MY dream, MY goal and it is MY decision to keep it alive or let it go. And it is MY reward when it comes.
I also found that there isn’t a finish line, even before one goal is achieved another one is born most time rooted in the one I am working on. And it goes on and on and on and I will leave this life with at least one unfinished project. And that’s my life time goal.
I love the Mantra given in the notes today and add them to my collection. I use the thank you one all day long, it became a habit after I started being thankful for the day happenings. One day I realized that I was saying thank continuously during the day just about anything and everything, I felt real cool that day. I also use one from the Burt Goldman “everyday and in every way I get better and better” That actually comes from the Silva method.

I usually end my day with recording all that I am grateful for I like the idea of starting the day the same way. So here we go another habit to grow. And off course the rotting fish parable make a lot of sense to me. I did experienced in the past not sharing the gifts and it really does burn you out.
As far as stalling, I am more on the opposite, I feel I never do enough and always trying to find more, adding on to the existing work at hand. Somehow something inside is pushing to get more and more done and every so often, I found myself feeling ragged and drain, so balance for me id the word, I am not sure what it is that is pushing me and as I write this down I realize that I need to ponder on this and find a way to make peace about it. Yes indeed I need to always do more. Trying to prove something? Not sure.
Al around good notes very surprising to me, a book written by a hip hop star…. Mmmm there is some good one out there, goes to show I don’t know everything yet 

Good morning.
“one-selved organism” Remind me of a phrase in the movie The Last Samurai where Tom Cruise the student id fighting the master and keep getting beat. A younger student comes to him and said “too many minds”? Too many minds? Yes too many minds, mind the sword, mind the people, mind the fight, too many minds. Becoming one mind is first committing 100%, and I have seen the results in my own life and the life of others. When I entered the 50 days challenge I did it with 100% commitment nothing would detract me from completing the reading the writing and the posting every day. Today we are half way through the challenge, time went by so fast and it is so much fun and so much learning. I actually get up half and hour early to get to the notes and read, I have changed my daily schedule to allow for the time to do this. And it all works out very well, actually I find that I can perform better and get more done than I used too.
I have read much about commitment and goal setting and decision making and welcoming challenges. And one thing I learned lately, through these daily exercises, is that when facing a situation, the more I try to figure it out the worse it gets. Trying to find a solution for a problem seems to amplify the problem. The answer came during meditation, allowing higher self to bring forth a solution is actually the way to solve problems. And I have seen this at work also, many times. One time I asked one of the business owners I worked for, “How do you explain your success”? His first answer was “what success”? Your business I said. Let me tell you about him, when looking from the outside one wonders how can this fellow succeed he has no managerial abilities, always want to be in control of everything, does not delegate responsibilities, he should be the president of the procrastinator club but they keep on changing the date of the meeting. I mean everything point toward disaster. Just one small example when his wife retired from the insurance company she worked for and took the job of bookkeeper, the first day she was there she found checks and credit card stub that needed to be deposited for near $100 000 in drawers and places. And I could carry on this way for while. One thing he said to me was “ I am very good I visualizing”. From that time on I paid real attention to the man and what is happening is this. When a crisis occurs, and believe you and me that’s a daily occurrence, he doesn’t get frustrated or even seems not even concerned, and that drives everyone nuts, he just take it in stride and when time permit he will discuss it and spend time visualizing a solution. And so far, after 33 years in business and successful it works. So this guy is one of the worst businessman I know and quite successful. There is something about letting the higher self bring the solution isn’t there?
With that a high esteem of oneself is also a must and not letting anyone pocking hole into it, and that one I need some work. I am working at allowing all part of myself even those I deemed unwanted. Acceptance of one-self and acceptance of others in the same way. I can say I am ME and look at someone else and say it again knowing that that person is in the same process of acknowledging the same I am ME, and be comfortable with the thought. Because I am ME and I am GOOD and I am PERFECT THE WAY I AM and so are YOU.

First thing that caught my attention, Do we need the self? Yes absolutely. Do we need to be identified with it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? Absolutely not……
I have come to realize some time ago, that we need the participation of the self to be able to advance. For me the challenge was to be able to have the self cooperation to allow new precepts and ideas to penetrate deep enough so they can stick. Have always been a free thinker and wanted to learn of my own volition, I had to learn that learning is going through a filtering process done by the self, and according to a set of rules, certain things were not allowed to pass by. This is causing much turmoil in the changing process, always double guessing everything that is presented.
Taking the time to allow the self to come to term with the new material presented, allowing an open communication with the self. Without the full cooperation of the self no change is going to take place. For me that was the most difficult part.
Now I have found the process of allowing the self to cooperate, so that the processing of new thoughts, ideas and concept is allowed especially when generated from the outside. One day the thought of getting up earlier to “prepare” for the day came to me, at first I wasn’t too sure of what that meant. So I did, not really knowing what to do, the self decided to get the clutter out of the way, like checking and answering e mails, getting the dish from the night before done, and then getting on with the meditation and this exercise and carrying on the rest of the day. Now the process is different. The dishes are done the night before, first thing in the morning is a short meditation before reading the note. By lowering the brain wave, opened up the unconscious and give the self the security needed to allow new thought to pass the “gate”. Without the exercise first thing, when I start reading the note many arguments arise from the self, fears and strong feelings, emotional distress. And after that it’s very difficult to go ahead and learn.
I love the elephant and the blind men story, many time I refused to hear from someone else on a certain idea or process and it always end up in turmoil and totally non productive. But when I am open and listen carefully without judgment, things usually flow easier and faster bringing forth better working conditions or better understanding. Being aware is for me the answer to be open. And sometime situation can take me by surprise and I need to be even more careful and listen to whomever I am with at the time. Also to let go when someone is not open to my idea and give them room to figure it out by themselves.

This note today caused many ?????????????
First I had a bit of confusion going on about the six fundamental needs, at first they look like no so positive comments attached to the needs. The definitions of each need sound like a burden more than something I like to shoulder. When I react to something in this way it means I have to look at it closer and extract what necessary for my progress.
“Consistency”? If this runs the show, we’re afraid of change and can’t dare to take a new step.
I understand consistency as a quality needed in the things I am involved with, I don’t see it as being afraid of change I always welcome and provoke changes.
“Inconsistency”? If so, we need to always be at the edge and can’t relax. Here again I don’t like to be inconsistent and at the same time I know how and when to relax then again I love to be on the edge.
“Significance”? If so, we’ve gotta look good at all times and impress the world. I like to look presentable when needed, it’s not really a matter of impressing anyone or caring what people think. Looking good for me is more a matter of respect toward others and myself.
“Connection/Love”? If so, we need to feel connected and loved above all else and may sacrifice our authentic selves if turned up too high. Here again I don’t see the need for me to sacrifice myself to have love and connection. More like being present in the moment with whomever I am involved.
“Growth”? If so, we need to feel the sense of expansion and evolution into our highest selves. This one is perfect I need to go forward all the time, what’s done is done I learn and move on.
“Contribution”? If so, we need to feel that we’re giving our greatest gifts in the greatest service to the world. And that is something to keep working on and it probably will never be achieved and at the same time by giving away our greatest gifts we can never get it wrong.
My dominant question in anything I do, “Am I going to succeed”? The response I get, maybe, we’ll never know, last time you failed, why keep trying, and on and on.
So I need to find a better question, a real question. Perhaps something like, “How can I allow the inner power and my gift to flow freely and exponentially”?
Someone in the group might have some suggestions, feel free to let me know.

Happy for no reason, Marci Shimoff

2010-02-04T17:34:00.000-08:00

Back in the days of childhood I was a very happy fellow, even when I was in trouble I remember just brushing it off and happiness was always there. I am not sure what changed or when, as I grew up I learned that to be overly happy was not normal, to be happy in time of sadness, like death in the family or an accident or anything of the sort, was being irresponsible. WHY? But slowly and surely I masked the happy out of my face, but still underlying happiness was there waiting for the proper time to come again. Many time I had to pretend to be sad so to please someone, mostly my parents. And time after time, when I could get away and be alone I would laugh it all off telling myself that it wasn’t such a bad thing after all. Is that being irresponsible, insensitive? I was just happy no matter what. And one day later on in life a caught myself singing, or no reason just singing and a stern inner voice shut the singing off and replace the grin on my face by a frown, it is not a time to be happy said the voice, Oh ok said I. Until much later actually years later I caught on with it and argue, “I can be happy if I want to”. And slowly very slowly climbing the hill I found myself to be happy again. The voice is still here admonishing, but I don’t care I keep on singing and laughing anyway. Every so often the question pop in my head,” why are you happy”? don’t know don’t care I am that’s all.
Reading the notes today I am realizing that it is ok to be happy even if the world is falling apart there is always something to be happy about. Even in the worse conditions there is something good taking place. Ever since I was a child I could not understand the sadness at funerals. Probably, because I somehow new that we choose when we are ready to go we just go.
I love the scientific explanation, the neuro-plasticity, the ability to re wire our brains to function the way we want it to. The ANT’s attacking the RAS and the reaction that follow if we allow it and that’s the big secret IF I ALLOW IT. Lately I am choosing to “let go” “release” thoughts that I don’t need in my life. In just a few days things are changing to my amazement although I shouldn’t be surprise but I am and I love it. Another life changing book, I will have to build a library, or give the books away when I am done with them.
What a ride, this is better than buggy jumping or zip line, or rock climbing or any other severe sports I love. This is life changing and long lasting, creating from here a new world of possibilities.

Those little things...

The magic of thinking big David J. Schwartz

About 25 years ago, building a network marketing business (mlm) our leader organized a contest. Something about contest, I cannot enter a contest without winning, I have to win I have no other choices. The contest was in 3 parts. First part 4 weeks, first who make the most business presentation that week gets a trophy. Second week most sales. Third week most new members. And Fourth week most presentation and most sponsoring for the individual’s team. I got all four trophies. Part two had to do with attendance to meeting functions and other group participations get a series of books one of them was The Magic of Thinking Big. And the last part of the contest was a total overall of the whole contest and that was a whole week end for the family in a plush hotel all expenses paid including transportation. Got it all. Did it. Felt awesome, it did!
I read the book back then and thought, that’s what I did, I went for it not even thinking I could fail or that someone else could be better none of that just went for it and did it. That book opened doors for me and for a while things were great. And then I encountered some walls one after the other and slowly I went down the hill and off course it got worse and worse. At that time I didn’t realized what was going on and it’s only after months of this, that I started to think of all the good things that did happen, fertilizing the roots, and start growing again slowly and finally got back on top. And this roller coaster ride happen often in the last 25 years. The highs got higher and the low not so much until now where its mostly little bump and very small dips.
When I first read the book I made a list of 100 things I would like to do, and I have done most of them, some of them have changed over the years, and some of them were, at the time, considered impossible. Space travel was one of them, quite possible today it’s only a matter of cash, nothing else. Today when I look at my list I am amazed of the things I have done. And that prompted me to create a new list.
My ultimate goal: to leave this earth with at least one unfinished project.

COntrol over consciousness.....

2010-02-01T15:40:00.000-08:00

Control over consciousness cannot be institutionalized. As soon as it becomes part of a set of social rules and norms, it ceases to be effective in the way it was originally intended to be.”

Ahhhaa, Ahhhaa,
Now I understand what was happening when I was serving in the church for many years .I always felt something was missing “freedom”. The church as an institution slow down the creative process of the individual. For more than 20 years I served in many different function including 5 years of poverty stricken time as a missionary. Now I understand why I was feeling limited frustrated although thinking, in my heart that I was the right place doing the right thing. I was a prisoner by my own choosing. And it’s only when I decided to leave the organized entity that life started to change for me. I was not under control any longer and I was able to “scrape the kettle” and see the truth hidden deep within me.
And it was when I felt totally under control and paralyzed by the system that I decided it was time to move on. I don’t know when this book was first published, and I wish I would have found this book 20 years ago. And again nothing is lost. When I was twelve years old I wanted to be a missionary priest. The first interview was with a very simple but wise man, he asked me “why do you want to be a missionary”. Because I want to bring peace to the world. And he gave me something to do. Before you can clean the world, go clean your own room. That puzzled me for many years, and one day I understood the statement. And I have been cleaning my room for the last 40 years, and strangely enough, people are coming and some decide to clean up their room too when they see mine and we are all cleaning together. And yes there is one lees rascal in the world.
Today I am grateful that I choose the family life instead of the priesthood, deep down in knew it wasn’t my call, but I would not allow for it to be conscious.
Another great book a must read form anyway.

Do unto others...Do unto yourself....Pursuit of perfect

2010-01-29T10:18:00.000-08:00

“Do not do unto yourself what you would not do unto others” Thanks a lot now I have a bruise on my forehead, great. And it is the truth, I am so good at finding excuses and encouragement for others, and when it’s my turn I become a total idiot. Forgiving myself is a real chore it takes forever. Failure? That’s the time to take a big stick and beat myself to a pulp. Raving and ranting until there is no more to be said.
Looking at all this brings back painful memories from when I was growing up. I have regain control f some of those nasty time, and I have learned to be more accepting of myself, still the first thought that appear when things are not working out is ”what do you expect…?” Or something along that line. Today I am at peace with most of it and I am able to function quite well and accepting who I am and what I am. And every so often something will trigger a reaction and cause feelings to well up and for a short time I feel disoriented and vulnerable. In the past these spurt of depression would last for days or weeks, today after a few minutes I can get in touch with it and carry on. In the past I used to curse and blame everybody I felt was responsible for my short coming. Today I can acknowledge them, learn from them and carry on. The beauty in all of this is that I am continuously learning and in applying the acquired knowledge I am able to bring healing and peace to others and to me this is priceless.
I am not afraid to try all kind of new things I am at the forefront of discovery and I love it, I love the process. I am not afraid of failing I have failed countless time, I usually learn something along the way. I am certainly not afraid of success, I have known a few of those, although outwardly I play it cool, inside I am jumping up and own. You know the duck syndrome, placid and composed on the surface and paddle like hell underneath. What I am afraid of is not to succeed, and for me that’s a huge difference. OK I have some work to do on that one. Better get to it.

Think and grow rich, Napoleon Hill

2010-01-28T10:43:00.000-08:00

My grandson Joel was born with a condition known as the Treacher/Collins Syndrome AKA TCS. Part of his face was not finish during pregnancy, a mutant kind of gene. One of his disabilities is that he only has 5% of the outer ear and can only hear with a device placed on the surface of the skull, eventually it will be implanted in the bone, that device transport sound through the bone allowing him to hear. The discovery of that device was actually made by Napoleon Hill working with his deaf son. Very similar experience depicted in the movie “Children of a Lesser God”
I have read Think and grow rich many times and, the first time I was totally infuriated by it I would have burn the book if it wasn’t so expensive. And as I persisted with it wanting to discover the “secret” within these pages I eventually discovered the “secret” within me. Then and only then was I able to put the book to rest. Well not totally, every so often just like Wally’s book SOGR I read passages here end then.
Today at 62 I wanted to retire from my job and I have not the way I thought I would, and at the same time nor really knowing this the bridges are burnet I cannot go back to what I use to do. I had a work related accident; I was put into temporary disability. This allows me to redirect my effort toward what I always wanted to do and slowly the plan is coming together. After surgery and months of physio I was sent back to work on temporary basic just to see what would happen. Well I didn’t last the week and was again put on temporary disability. It was then that I realized that the bridges are burnt I can never go back and I am very happy about it.
I am now totally immersed in my project focusing intensely on it and making it happens. The Universe provided a most needed assistant with a strong dream. Now I need to find someone to help with the marketing and promotion. All in time.
On another notes. When I started to create the desire to retire from my job, you see I had one of those high tech job where there is no one trained to replace me, now they have no choice. Using the process of the One Command I ask to retire from my job and keeping my income. Well I did didn’t I? Next time I will be more precise on what I want and ask accordingly. I have no regrets all the same; just I could have done without the physical pain and all that goes with it. And I am happy about it all the same for me the result is worth the effort.

For a new day and a new life

2010-01-27T11:41:00.000-08:00

Today is a new day, coming to term with some of my most inner search. It’s coming to the surface, finally, and today's notes are of great help and value for me. Coming into consciousness of many things that were laying latent, unused gifts waiting patiently to be allowed out.
The part that really hit home is the "Be Unreasonable" part and the list of questions that needed answers. I fully answered all of the questions but one, what comes to you effortlessly, I am having trouble with that one. I am so used to do everything the hard way for little or no profit, the exercise is excellent, I am spending the time answering that one question I think it is very important I do so.
I t is a very strange thing that I am very good at helping others finding short cut and way to be more efficient, and I am having such difficulties with my own self, not in a physical way but in and emotional and psychological way to do things the easy way. Or the 20/80 way.
Thank you for these notes and for that exercise I know deep down I have the answer I just have to be patient with myself and it will be revealed.
The best part is that I am enjoying myself fully. I haven't felt this good in a long time. The last six month have been real havoc in my life, nothing I didn't ask for indeed, the unfolding is sure different t than I expected to be.
I have great plans, huge dreams, and high goals. And I also now have help so all is for the best, all is good.

The overachiever

2010-01-26T17:28:00.000-08:00

Today’s notes, causes a feeling of uneasiness at first, after a few moment thinking about it and sorting out the argument, I finally realize what was the hold back. For some reason I don’t remember I thought that overachiever were people with no heart and only one thing in mind “money” no matter what. And I remember creating a statement in my mind that I will never be such a person. I reality I have at time become the overachiever and for some reason it always left me dry and unfulfilled, no wonder. I found myself even today working on some great important project and giving it my whole. When the project is done again I feel unaccomplished, unhappy, wanting for more.
Today’s notes are really bringing something home I have within most of the qualities described I am a go getter, I thrive to great achievement, but because of my old programming I feel defeated when I succeed. Being unrealistic, well that’s me how many time I put my head down listening to that label being applied to me, ever since I can remember, both my parents warned me of failing because I dream to big. And many times I made great things happen, and someone else get the credit, another way of self destruction. I have a lot to let go and rebuilt from the ground up and I know I can do it.

The Science of Getting Rich

2010-01-25T10:08:00.000-08:00

Over 3 years ago a came across the book SOGR by W.Wattle. For me it was like discovering the world all over again and like a child I started a journey that will never end. My very first “important” book was, I was in my early 20’s How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie. From then on the search for was on. The next book was acres of diamonds. And on and on from one book to the next. Each book a read left me with hunger for more, and when SOGR found its way to me it was a revelation like never before. What is very interesting is I paid money for every other book I read but SOGR came to me for FREE. I realized that Wally, as we love to refer to him in our circle, is a phenomenon, a giant nothing less. Every book I read has its roots, directly or not in the SOGR. All the way back to Napoleon Hill’s Think and grow rich. Wally started me in an all new way of thinking and operating, my life as changed drastically, I am not the same person I was little over 3 years ago. I am very happy about it and people around me are happier too. No effort from me. And today here I am participating in one of the best adventure of my life, becoming a better person, and enjoying the ride totally. I have done many things in my life; nothing is bringing more satisfaction than what I am doing today. For Wally and the SOGR I am extremely grateful. For the philosopher’s notes challenge I am grateful to keep focus on what is important. And for everything that is taking place in my life right now I am very grateful, even if at time it doesn’t feel too good, it is good all the same.

Spiritual Liberation

2010-01-21T10:40:00.000-08:00

Years ago I use to teach, conferences, workshop and seminars to name a few. People use to come to me and complimented me on my words and wisdom and although on the outside I was cheerful and pleased on the inside I felt like a fraud. Why was I feeling like this what was it that disturb me so much. And one day the answer was given to me from a very unnerving and unwanted source, my wife. Yes she new and she said “why are you not practicing what you are teaching. That hit me so hard, it took a while for it to sink in. I had nothing at all to say I knew instantly that it was the truth she spoke. So after sorting this out for myself I started to listen to what I was teaching. First realizing that it wasn't me, that I was inspired from a highest self to write and teach these gems and I come to the realization that those teaching where for me first.
So from that time on I worked at applying new inspirations to my own life before passing them on I then discovered another things, I knew what I was talking about and now when someone congratulate me on my words a grateful "thank you" very simply, and inside acknowledging the source of the inspiration and giving the source credit.
Trust me since then I rely on my wife's wisdom for many things I don't think I do anything without checking with her first, and strangely enough she checks with before doing anything now. We have a perfect life.
Something new I need to work on since today's note “Character vs. personality. This is on my list starting practicing today.

Picture the end results and keep focusing on the moment

2010-01-20T16:21:00.000-08:00

My life has been guided by the principle of starting a task, any task and picturing the end results then proceeding by focusing on the minute to minute, hour to hour, day to day work at end. And magically the finish product appears in all its glory.
During our rock climbing excursion, when approaching the face I always look at the top and picture myself there and again keep my eye on the place where my fingers and feet are going step by step and succeeded beautifully.
Now we are talking about magic abundance, although I know the process I found myself caught up into focusing on the results instead of the day to day journey. Here is the dilemma, I know what the end result is going to be and instead of " doing everyday what I can do that day, and do each act in an efficient manner" Wallace Wattle The Science of Getting Rich
Today's note from Wayne Dyer, and I have read that before, real bring the subject home GIVE IT UP and yes it is shouting at me and I hear it. Digging and digging deep in finding the blocks and moving on It puzzles me that I know the process, it works for me very well in other area of my life, and when it come to financial abundance there is a real block that seems bigger than what is really is. Oh yes minimizing the fears until they are small enough not to interfere. Right on.

The Universe conspire and delivers

2010-01-19T10:36:00.000-08:00

One night, with 5 other boys my age and a priest youth councilor we were discussing the facts of life. Many subjects were approached and discarded, but we kept one alive all night long, marriage. What does it means? How do you find the perfect mate? When do you know you are ready for “the commitment”? Many other questions arise during that night, some we were able to find satisfying answers other would never get answered until “it” would happen. We all went our separate way at around 5AM.
The thought of marriage and finding the right person stayed with me. As I lay there in bed thinking about this a picture arise in my mind, the picture of the perfect mate. The physical was not as important as everything else, personality, had to be complementary, a loving heart, someone I would spend the rest of my life wit. Someone caring that would instinctly know and understand the value of a family. Many other traits did I portrait that night. Finally I went to sleep happy and contented. I was 17 years old and I decided the person I would marry and live with for ever. Another decision I made is that I would not marry until I was 25 years old, and I would only do it once.
Not knowing what I was doing, I was actually setting myself up to receive exactly what I was asking for. I didn’t know that at that point the Universe conspired for this to happen, and it did. After that night, I never thought about it again until 4 years latter I met the girl of my planning. It was instant, the minute I saw her I knew. And 4 years later we were united for life that was 36 years ago. Today our love is getting stronger and stronger to the point that the children are discussing what’s worse mom without dad or dad without mom?
We encountered may hurdle but nothing or no one could stop the process. Through it all it was worth the effort and the pain we encountered.
Today together we found ourselves in a very similar situation. We have dreamed of the perfect home for us, a few months ago we found it. After looking at many beautiful houses we could not agree 100% on everything. So we kept the vision and dream alive. The home we were looking actually found us and we fell in love instantly together and the more we probe the place and the more we discover that it is the perfect place. Now we are waiting upon the Universe to deliver our dream. We have done everything we can, it’s not up to us anymore. And we have no doubt that it is happening.

Millionaire's blue print

2010-01-18T11:38:00.000-08:00

Jan 17/09
My millionaire’s blue print
After reading the notes this morning, I was getting more and more exited and I had to go get the book. So now I have the book, now the I have my work for this week read the book and apply the precepts.
I thought I did have the millionaire's mind I found out that, I just wanted to be instead of being committed to be. OUCH. What a way to start the week getting a kick in the pants. Well that kick is propelling me into a totally different sphere of possibilities.
It's just amazing that of all the author of self help book I read I never came across T. Harv Eker, never heard the name before until today. Things are coming together as they should. I really like the "Declaration vs. Affirmation" principle, affirmations never worked for me, I could never get a hold on it, the more I practiced the more frustrated I become. A declaration well that is set in stone and I can identify with this.
On my way to create my millionaire's blue print.
So where I am going today? Mmmmm it’s seems that I have come to a cross road and decide where do I go.

Cooking, a realief valve

2010-01-15T10:35:00.001-08:00

This morning is somewhat harder to get motivated and find the right tuning, even after meditation time. The part where about the fuel gauge, in today’s notes and the probing to look for something to enjoy and change the mood. That is bringing to me an urge to do some fancy cooking again. Something that have re acquainted me a few months back and I love it. Really it does set a different happy mood, besides that eating the results is always an energizing bliss.
My wife and I have come to an accord about the dream house we want, this after 3 years of looking and probing the market we finally found it. It was built just for us. Now to be able to purchase that home as been a real challenge, in reality we don’t have the mean and the time to generate the funds needed. The only thing we know is that practicing the law of attraction as described in the book by Esther and Jerry is the only way we are going to acquire that marvelous place. We go and visit it often, picturing ourselves living there, with friends and relatives visiting and enjoying the place, grand kids in the park having fun in a secure place. Everything is glorious. We also found ourselves in state of wondering… can this really happen? Are we mad? And a short look at the vision board bring the excitement back and then down again. We got to get off that roller coaster.
If you want to receive love and abundance in your life, you need to set your tuner to the same vibrational frequency as love and abundance, no? Quoting from the note. I know how to produce the vibration for love, and I haven’t yet mastered creating the proper vibration for abundance of money simply it isn’t something I have experienced yet. So how can I find the right frequency if I don’t know it? Perhaps someone can enlighten me on the subject.
I have Esther and Jerry’s book and I read from it daily and practice the exercise and so far many good things have happen the money continue to elude me. This dream house we call the Chateau appear to us from nowhere and we know to be the result of visualizing our dream place. Now we just need to make it ours. Just writing about causes a real excitement inside, the effort is to keep it that way and not let the next thought pop up “ is it ever…..” I won’t finish the sentence.
Amazing thing is happening with these daily exercises. Thank you so much for putting this together.

Lesson from a tea pot

2010-01-13T08:39:00.001-08:00

Jan 12/09
Lesson from a silver tea pot
Every morning I get up go to the kitchen and prepare coffee for my wife and tea for me. When the coffee is ready, and the water boiled, I poor the water in the silver tea pot, and coffee in a large mug. I then take the coffee to my wife in bed.
By the way there is a whole book in the Bible dedicated to husband making coffee for their wife in the morning. The book is called He-Brew…
The I go back to the kitchen and poor tea in a cup. This morning it took a little longer for me to get back to the kitchen and the tea pot handle was very hot, I had to let go instantly. Looking around for a towel, a thought crossed my mind, “don’t mind the heat” Oh! OK I don’t mind the heat. I was able to poor the tea and I didn’t mind the heat.
Reading from the notes in How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie, fit right into the tea pot incident. Not minding what is happening and just carrying on. In other words, going with the flow, not minding those pesky little things that happen every day. Looking for the possibilities instead of the blocks on the road. Or again living in the moment, in appreciation and gratefulness.
I got a lot of work to do yet.

BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND

2010-01-12T20:14:00.000-08:00

Jan 11/09 Day 2
Ironically, we’re typically MUCH better at planning a project at a job we hate than planning a life to create a job we love. Quote from The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People By STEPHEN R. COVEY
Thank you for this great note. Of course looking at the end results and working my way back is giving me the process to follow. A great and so simple advice. Why didn’t I think of it before? Friends I bang my head against many walls, wondering how come things are not working out? Answer pushing against the current instead of going with the flow. And I should know that. Being a avid practitioner of white water rafting I should know that going against the current, its a no-no . Furthermore, has we step into the raft no one has ever propose” should we try to paddle up steam for a change” it never occurred to anyone to go upstream. So why, knowing this I continue to paddle up steam in general.
Something to work on and, I think by starting with the end result in mind and working my way back to now, I should be able to figure things out.
Thank you for this great advice.

Lesson from the shadow

2010-01-11T15:03:00.000-08:00

Starting with my 50 days challenge of total introspection.
Today a perspective from the “Shadow”, to better understand the process, a quote from Carl young on the “Shadow”
“Unfortunately there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a Shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. Furthermore, it is constantly in contact with other interests, so that it is continually subjected to modifications. But if it is repressed and isolated from consciousness, it never gets corrected and is liable to burst forth suddenly in a moment of unawareness. At all events, it forms an unconscious snag, thwarting our most well-meant intentions.”
Staring at the Shadow I learn much about me. Evaluating my own attitude by reflection or has Carl Young puts it “Projection” projecting into others my own short coming, and that is I cannot see in others what I don’t have within me. Thus enabling me to adjust my attitude in comparison.
Everything I do from the time I get up to the time I go to bed and in between I love everything about it. All that I do is destined to shape and polish me to be the best that I can be.
Sharing on my blog allow me to keep things going. Please comment it can be very helpful.

A starfish Story And More

2009-05-09T12:11:00.000-07:00

Everyone knows the story by Loren Eiseley The Starfish Story. Well here it is again.
Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.

One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.

He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"

The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean."

"I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man.

To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die."

Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!"

At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "It made a difference for that one."
A story of inspiration like many others including “The Rag Picker” in Og Mandino’s book “The Greatest Miracle in the World” or the real life story of Grameen Bank the 2006 Nobel Prize winner for his idea of micro-loans to poor people of Bangladesh.
Closer to home we also have a similar story “Success in 10 Steps” A short well detailed book on small entrepreneurs survival A gift, a way to independency via network marketing. How to succeed in a world of cut-throats, scammers, undeniable crooks and other opportunist targeting financially strapped individuals and families coning them out of thousands of dollars without any scruples whatsoever .
With a group of dedicated people he also created a system , Mentoring For Free, a very duplicatable system allowing you to regain control of your fears and your life, giving you the ability to create a very descent income by teaching and mentoring by example. In His own words, to learn HOW to think not WHAT to think.
Will he ever be nominated for the Nobel Prize? I doubt it. Does he deserve it? Many people would say “YES “ he does.
Now you want to know who is this modern hero, he is a real man with all the human flavor, he is fun to talk too, fun to listen too. Very open very straight forward. I love for you to meet my friend and mentor. Here is the book I spoke about .

Scarcity Thinking

2009-05-04T21:42:00.000-07:00

Back in 1905 a clerk with very little education, a mental handicap, turned the world of science on it’s head. Enlightening the world with a scientific formula proving the presence of energy to matter creation, just like many philosophers, spiritual thinkers and mystics have promoted for centuries. that the invisible world we cannot see and the world we experience with our physical senses are one and the same, that everything is constantly in motion, constantly changing from formless to form and back, from invisible to visible and back.
Albert Einstein famous formula, E=mc2 or energy = mass x speed of light squared, basically says that energy is equivalent to matter. What Mr. Wattle, in his book Science of getting rich call it formless and form. Nothing is created noting is lost everything is transformed.
Paul Zane Pilzer a very unconventional economist says that our underlying economic assumption that we live in a world of scarce, limited resources is fundamentally wrong and that it’s by assuming and promoting scarcity thinking that so much deprivation and want exist in the world. For example the petroleum industry. Many people have accepted the possible shortage of it but professor Pilzer counter the claim by showing that technology is continually increasing supply and even changing our definition of what resources are.
We have learned to become more effective by creating better engines and creating alternate sources of energy.
Getting caught up in the lack of everything and we better hurry to get our share before it all runs out is actually leading to greed and exploitation. Thus the importance to change the inner world of cause versus trying to change the outer physical world of effect.
When believing in a world of scarcity we are stuck in limitation thinking, and by doing that we fail to see the opportunities all around us. How about .We is surrounded by insurmountable opportunities. Einstein himself said, “We cannot solve a problem at the same level of thinking we were at when we created It”.
There is abundance of opportunity for the person who will go with the tide, instead of trying to swim against it,. Mr. Wattles says.
Let’s take a look for minute at 5 things that weren’t available 10 years ago that we are enjoying right now. How these did come about. What situation caused the creation of such item?
What problem you are facing right now? Take a mental step back from it and look at it with fresh, new eyes. What opportunities might be hidden inside?
What is your actual situation and what is it that make you believe it can’t be changed? Perhaps you might want to take a look at this.

Lesson from a dead fly

2009-04-25T17:08:00.000-07:00

This was inspired by, when cleaning the dead flies lying there on the window seal. What happened? I have witness the scenario many times before, but never thought about the process of a fly trying to reach freedom past that window. So I sat there picturing in my mind what could have happened.

There she is flying around, seemingly hitting an imaginary wall, suddenly changing direction, now toward the real danger, the picture window. Smack against it. What is going on in the fly’s head? Here is the light, right in front of her, picture of freedom, flying in the warm spring air one with nature. But the unseen real block right in front of her the dreaded glass blocking the well planned escape to the outside world and freedom.
She will keep hitting that widow pane time after time until dropping to the window seal exhausted, hurt, and, with one last glance toward the dream of freedom will die there among similar other stories.
But she was determinate; she had a vision, a good plan. She could not perceive the glass, the block that brought her to the last resting place.
Was there an option? Off course she could have looked around for an open space to freedom. But no, her determination, dedication and stubbornness would not allow her to admit defeat after a few tries, perhaps her ego got in the way and would not allow her to be open to other possibilities.
But, she is only a “fly”, and we are only “human” Well I guess it’s a good excuse to die right there on the window seal.
How many of us are behaving like the fly. We are trying hard, banging our head against the window. Oh yes, don’t get me wrong we are determined to succeed, we have a vision or CMI ( clear mental image) we have a goal, a well planned one at that. We will succeed even if we die trying.
In the mean time someone, a coach or mentor or even a good friend is trying to show us a better way, a different way, an open door to freedom. But we are caught up in our plan, our vision so much that we will not accept an alternative. And when we lay there exhausted near dead or in our human case quitting stage we will blame the whole world for not allowing us to reach our goals.

I have found the way to freedom with the Mentoring For Free Team. There is always someone available and willing to point the way to my goals and most time in an easier way then I could have come up with. A master mind group is of the highest importance when reaching for a dream It is found here in this book saving useless head banging.

The strenght of the team

2009-04-14T06:53:00.000-07:00

Sometimes we fail to realize how much support we have from our co-workers or tea members until something happen. Yes I to failed to see. After many years working together, a few skirmish and light argument we have a tendency to take each other for granted. And we ,I should say I, loose sight of the goodness in people we rub shoulders with day after weeks after month, and years. And sometime remember only the not so positive times when we don’t agree or worse.

Sunday July 27. I am at work, one of those emergency that need our attention, no delay. Everyone else was gone for the week end so I ended up fixing the problem by myself. One of my co-worker offered to come and help on Sunday when it was tie to re- assemble the unit. So at around 4:00 PM I called him for a hand. I could do it by myself but why take chance. During the testing process the main power panel blew and we had an electrical fire on our hand. With in split of a second the wall was on fire Fire extinguisher on hand I went to work. In the mean time my partner for the day went looking for the electrical room key to turn the main disconnect off. Then we took to task to remove the paneling from the wall to make sure there was no fire in the wall.

IT was a great blessing that we were two. This all episode could not be controlled by one person only. Dosing the fire and getting the key and running outside to the other end of the building in the electrical room to turn the power off. Either the power was turned off then the fire would have spread beyond control or the fire was kept in check but the smoke and powder from the extinguisher could have overcome the person.

Because two people work together in harmony was everything under control. And because of it we are now looking at each other with a complete different attitude. As long as we work side by side we will be a team.

In network marketing the strength of a team is paramount to any success. Building a team, support, encouragement training is the life blood of a team. We look for each other, we help each other, we care for one another. In network marketing the power of the team make each individuals stronger.

Be part of a team that will help you on your journey. A team that will be there come hell or high water.We have such a team in Mentoring For Free. We offer support, training, encouragement, a place to belong. Come join us. It’s a journey we travel together. We don’t promote any one company we are here to offer support.

Go to the site download the e book, read it, get back to us and we will show you how to build a straong business.

Spark of imagination

2009-04-05T08:29:00.000-07:00

Imagination.
Imagination is like fireworks. It start with a small spark then a short “bang” and then the whole sky is lit up with 100 of flowers of different colors going higher and higher creating more and more beautiful pattern illuminating the sky all around. Another little spark and again more marvelous flowers exploding in the night replacing the last one better and better. Bringing joy and happiness, marvel of beauty and entertainment. Unlike fireworks the imagination process to create anything I desire is a disciplined method, demanding and extremely rewarding when practiced in an organized manner. And that, for me, is where the focus and discipline need to apply. I have a ravenous imagination I can construct in my mind the most amazing plans. Most often the enough they don’t come to completion because most often then enough “ I don’t believe in myself” to make it happen.
Imagination works both ways for and against me; just like fireworks, setting the spark to the box will only cause a disaster and not the magnificent work of art display in the sky. Channeling in a certain way, continuous well planned effort, and mostly faith in myself will bring forth expected results. Continuous monitoring of my thoughts bringing me to the present, leaving the past to itself “let the dead bury the dead” I can imagine it I can make it happen. Another element is needed for my plan to succeed the master mind group. I have to allow the input from others into my plan to bring it to fruition. For the longest time this has been very difficult, for me, to accept input from other. Today I have learned cooperation is a must to succeed in anything.
I have the ability to direct my own thoughts, I can either observe things as they are, or I can imagine them as I want them to be. Either way it is my choice, I have the ability to place my attention wherever I decide, so it is possible to change my thoughts from something unwanted and put my attention to something wanted. The mental cleanse program is helping greatly on re focusing from unwanted stuff to wanted stuff. I is my choice to participate and take control of my present and decide for my future.
I can hear it again in my mind, Louis Armstrong “It’s a beautiful world”

“Working from home” Rant.

2009-04-01T20:27:00.000-07:00

“Working from home” Rant.

Well, it has been almost 2 months since I was laid off from my job. Since I am 56, almost, I thought I would try and work from home. So begun the Quest!!!!!!!!

Has anybody taken the time to go through the junk out there? I found a lot a site saying I could work from home. I get in and guess what? It is only going to cost me this many dollars and no risk because if I don’t make money following the system, they give me my money back!!!And I get all those gifts, a gazillion dollars worth of resalable books!!! At a site that swears I won’t have to sell anything!!!!!!!

Oh, and let’s not forget the ones that said I will get envelopes with $5 bills in it and all I have to do is keep the money and mail the fliers. There is even an email address you can ask question at. So I did!!

I ask how I would make the money. Selling the system or mailing envelopes? Never got an answer…..And the Oscar go to all the sites that will charge you money to tell you witch of those are the best!!!!!!!!! They have a disclaimer that say they do not endorse any of them, of course. They are just listing them!!!

It bugs me that all those site are all promising “work” at home, like you can get a job you do at home. And there are places that do contract out. But again, if you want in, you have to pay. I think there is a big scam going on and people are making money on desperate people looking for work and sell them smoke. Then wants them to in turn sell smoke!!!!!!!!

Well, I found something. I was not promised “work” I was not told lies and I don’t have to tell any. But I sure feel sorry for all out there that do not have the savvy to sort through all the junk, and who keep paying money for nothing. What do you all think?

Education is available for FREE. Follow the ling ans see for yourself how recruiting system really work. I did and it saved me years of frustration and money.

Genuine Happines Comes From Inside Part 2

2009-03-22T12:57:00.000-07:00

Genuine Happiness Comes from Within part 2

Genuine happiness isn’t about driving the hottest Formula 1 car, nor getting the employee of the year award, earning the highest 13th month pay, or beating the sales quota. Sometimes, the most sought after prizes in life doesn’t always go to the fastest, the strongest, the bravest or not even the best. So, how do you become genuinely happy? Everyone has his own definition of ‘happiness’. Happiness for a writer may mean launching as much bestselling books as possible. Happiness for a basketball rookie may mean getting the rookie of the year award. Happiness for a beggar may mean a lot of money. Happiness for a business man may mean success. So, really now, how do we become genuinely happy? Simple. You don’t have to have the best things in this world. It’s about doing and making the best out of every single thing. When you find yourself smiling at your own mistake and telling yourself “Oh, I’ll do better next time”, you carry with you a flame of strong will power to persevere that may spread out like a brush fire. You possess a willingness to stand up again and try – that will make you a genuinely happy person.

When you learn to accept yourself and your own faults. You pass step 1 in the project “how to become genuinely happy”. For as long as you know how to accept others, you will also be accepted. For as long as you love and know how to love, you will receive love ten folds back.
Again, throw me that same question “how to become genuinely happy?”. I’ll refer you to a friend of mine who strongly quoted- “Most of us know that laughter is the best medicine to life’s aches and pain. But most of us don’t know that the best kind of laughter is laughter over self. Coz then you don’t just become happy… you become free.”

Genuine Happiness Comes from Within

2009-03-17T06:12:00.000-07:00

Genuine Happiness Comes from Within part 1
Life isn’t the sweetest candy. Sometimes, when I feel like the world is just too heavy, I look around and find people who continued to live fascinating and wonderful lives. And then thoughts come popping into my mind like bubbles from nowhere – “How did their life become so adorably sweet? How come they still can manage to laugh and play around despite a busy stressful life?” Then I pause and observed for awhile… I figured out that maybe, they start to work on a place called ‘self’.
So, how does one become genuinely happy? Step 1 is to love yourself.
My theology professor once said that “loving means accepting.” To love oneself means to accept that you are not a perfect being, but behind the imperfections must lie a great ounce of courage to be able to discover ways on how to improve your repertoire to recover from our mistakes.
Genuine happiness also pertains to contentment. When you are contented with the job you have, the way you look, with your family, your friends, the place you live in, your car, and all the things you now have – truly, you know the answer to the question “how to be genuinely happy.”
When we discover a small start somewhere from within, that small start will eventually lead to something else, and to something else. But if you keep questioning life lit it has never done you any good, you will never be able to find genuine happiness.
I believe that life is about finding out about right and wrong, trying and failing, winning and losing. These are things that happen as often as you inhale and exhale. Failure, in a person’s life has become as abundant and necessary as air. But this should not hinder us from becoming happy.
How to be genuinely happy in spite all these? I tell you… every time you exert effort to improve the quality of life and your being, whether it is cleaning up your room, helping a friend, taking care of your sick dog, fail on board exams and trying again, life gives you equivalent points for that.
Imagine life as a big score board like those which are used in the NFLs. Every time you take a step forward, you make scoring points. Wouldn’t it be nice to look at that board at the end of each game and think to yourself “Whew! I got a point today. I’m glad I gave it a shot.”, instead of looking at it all blank and murmur “Geez, I didn’t even hit a score today. I wish I had the guts to try out. We could have won!” and then walk away.
Stay tune for part two.

Progamming the mind

2009-03-08T17:42:00.000-07:00

How does this work? When I focus on getting read of what I don’t want to be able to get what I want I end up getting what I don’t want. And I don’t want it I am very firm about this. I DON’T WANT IT. I have made the decision not to want the things I don’t want, and repetitively I continue to receive what I don’t want. I just don’t get it…
Does that sound familiar? Can you identity with the statement above? Do you find yourself going around in circle fighting the current, swimming upstream, getting what you don’t want instead of what you want? Why why why why why? Nothing is ever working for me?
I have pondered the same questions over and over again and this is what I found. When I go white water rafting with friends, none of us ever mentioned to go upstream for a change, we always go downstream. Make sense doesn’t it? My life is like the rapids we go rafting on. Life is like the river flowing fast, sometime we feel to fast. And for whatever reason it is a recognized practice to “swim upstream” to Fight the current”. We are encouraged since birth to be a fighter, we need it to survive. The “secret” if there is one is to go with the current if the river of your life. Since I realized that I am getting what I want.
Yes we heard it many times, I don’t have enough money. I can’t afford this. My salary is not big enough for my expenses. I can hardly make ends meet. Just add you own. Then we expect the opposite to realize itself. We tell ourselves this thing. We repeat the same story over and over again. We tell it tour friends our family our children and everyone willing to listen. Then we are surprised when we are getting exactly what we are speaking. How’s that. Simple. What I ask of life, life will give. When I confess “ I have no money” Life says OK here “no money” it’s yours. So I turn the story around. I have plenty of money. Life says? Here is plenty of money. That simple…. Now wait a minute not so fast. How long did it take for the programming to take place? It is going to take some work to re program the mind to think “downstream”. So I want to travel from point A to point B. Distance 400 miles. Great at speed limit considering traffic and all let say 5 hours. So I get in the car I have no doubt I am going to get there. It’s going to take 5 hours. How long is it going to take for me to change the programming? Does it matter I will get what I want. So I started the journey. Staying on the positive side of life will guaranty success. Every so often something will happen that will drag me back to the negative side. Well I need to be aware of it and move to the positive side. How you may ask. Easy, whatever it is if it feels good you’re on the right side if it create negative feelings you’re on the wrong side. Talking to myself help bringing me back. Listening to positive affirmative talk and people will guaranty my position on the right side. Ignoring even walking away from negative people is a must. Turn the TV, news paper, radio off. Turn your inside voice on, listen to your inner self telling you what to do. Listen to the life energy inside of you.
Need some help? Having difficulties doing it by yourself? Normal we’re not super heroes you know. To many people around you trying to drag you down?
We’re here to help. Go to this site now, download the e book. When you do I will be notified. I will then get in touch with you and show you how you can do it. That you’re not alone.
