Dear self, you are 47 years old. What do you have to show for it? Are you living the dream?  I have many years filled with both joy and pain.  I imagine the pain that I feel is nothing more than joy unexplained.  I have the satisfaction of knowing that I was willing to take [...]]]></description>

A man get kicks off of a plane because he&#8217;s too heavy.  One onlooker views the situation and says how terrible and another looks on and shouts &#8220;that&#8217;s great stuff.&#8221;
Same life situation but radically different viewpoints.  I believe that all of life is propelling you forward even at times when you refuse to go.  In [...]]]></description>

		<title>This Is Not What I&#8217;m Hearing</title>

The question was &#8220;Is it easier to see or hear my husband cheating?&#8221; I don&#8217;t feel there is an &#8220;easy&#8221; with regards to cheating.  I personally think that cheating is a deplorable act and this is coming from a guy who has cheated quite a bit.
Now don&#8217;t think that its so odd that I have [...]]]></description>

Money without consciousness is like a plane without navigation, you may get in flight but you&#8217;ll ultimately crash and burn.  There&#8217;s a few things about money that most people simply don&#8217;t understand including those with lots of it.  There are some things about money that will never change such as the fact that expenses will [...]]]></description>

		<title>The 10 Myths About Success</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
We enter this world and most often just accept the reality that others have painted for us.  Rarely do we question the status quo.  If we go to the doctor and he tells us we have a thyroid condition and prescribes a drug for us we march straight to the pharmacist to get our prescription [...]]]></description>

		<title>Four Questions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
In one way or another each of us are asking ourselves four questions.  Many of us ask these questions consciously but most of us ask them unconsciously.  Regardless of the way you ask these questions &#8211; you will ask these questions.
Who are you?
Where did you come from?
Why are you here (what&#8217;s your purpose?)
Where are you [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Reason To Love You</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
When you combine good singing with seductive lyrics and awesome string instruments it just makes you want to do naughty things.  I shouldn&#8217;t say naughty because that&#8217;s such a relative term.  What I would call naughty someone else would merely call child&#8217;s play.
I don&#8217;t need a reason to love you because I love me and [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Need More Money</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
What you&#8217;ve got is what you need.  If you needed more money then you would have more.  You don&#8217;t have the money that you think that you need yet you&#8217;re doing just fine.  Need is an illusion of the mind.  Question it.  Have you ever needed more money than you&#8217;ve had?  Of course not.  Isn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

Your authentic swing is not something that you can find out about by looking outside of yourself.  You can&#8217;t call up your best friend on the phone and ask them to help you find your authentic swing.  You&#8217;ll never discover it being in your mind.  You can only find your authentic swing by feeling it [...]]]></description>

We live in two worlds.  In one world we suffer and in the other we don&#8217;t.  What are these two worlds you may ask?  The first world is a world in where we wish things were one and they&#8217;re not.  The second world is the real world which is the way things are not as [...]]]></description>

I had the pleasure of listening to the wisdom of Byron Katie tonight at the Unity Church in Dallas.  The best way for me to summarize the experience was to say that each one of her statements could be a 1,500 word post on this blog.  The good thing that I left with is that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Wake Me From This Dream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Love is not something you chase, love is what you are.  You don&#8217;t not have to seek love because you are love.  Love is ever so present even when it seems to be hidden from your view.  There&#8217;s a place out there where we all will agree and that&#8217;s love.  Look into the next person&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Language Do You Speak?</title>

There&#8217;s only two basic ways of learning a language, one is immersion and the other is repetition.  Immersion is when you want to learn French you fly to France and you live among the French speaking people.  You immerse yourself in the culture, language and customs and you only speak that language.  You remain there [...]]]></description>

		<title>EGO &#8211; Edging God Out</title>

Your ego wants you to believe that you are what you do.  Your ego wants you to believe that you are what you possess.  Your ego wants you to believe that you are separate from those around you.  Your ego wants you to believe that there&#8217;s something you have to do to be worthy of [...]]]></description>

Today I have some quotes for meditation and a manifesto that I think you should download and read.
What was true this morning is undoubtedly false this evening.
You have everything in your possession right now to help you get through what you are going through.
Everything that is happening to you is propelling you to a higher [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Immutable Laws Of Money</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Money is energy and once you learn how to work with the energy instead of against it your life will be filled with unyielding abundance.
Law of Time states that money decisions are made with the long-term perspective in mind.  This law frowns upon the microwave mentality around money and prefers delayed gratification in its place.

If not YOU then WHO?  If not NOW then WHEN?
“We are all tied together in a single garment of destiny&#8230; An inescapable network of mutuality&#8230; I can never be what I ought to be until you are allowed to be what you ought to be.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.


That&#8217;s my spin on it.

Anthony Robbins once said &#8220;If you would do the things that others are unwilling to do for one year that you could live the life that others only dream about.&#8221;  This statement has always intrigued me because its only asking for a one year commitment. However, I&#8217;ve since learned that a year is quite a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Money Without Consciousness Is Fatal</title>

Oil and water don&#8217;t mix neither does money and lack of consciousness. We want the sugary foods but we don&#8217;t want the extra pounds. Everybody wants the money but few seem to want the consciousness that goes along with having more money.
Don&#8217;t believe me then just Google the term Gilbert Arenas.  Read the first search [...]]]></description>
