DO YOU, Russell Simmons

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 

DO YOU, Russell Simmons

Happy for no reason, Marci Shimoff

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.

Happy for no reason, Marci Shimoff

Spiritual Liberation

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.
