I recently caught myself slipping into a familiar rut. With a busier schedule and more responsibility, it became increasingly difficult to focus on my path and I found myself turning to old habits of worry and fear.
You have to catch yourself and turn it around and the quicker you do so, the easier it will be. That is why I like keeping some good inspirational movies around. You can make an excuse not to read a book or listen to a tape, but something about a movie will keep you entertained while allowing you to soak and think. This time it was the movie “What the Bleep Do We Know.”

Watching the birth of my son recently gave me great pause and really demonstrated the enormous blessing that life really is. But most of all, it has fascinated me to new levels of thinking. I find myself pondering….What are a baby’s thoughts? It may seem like a comical question to ask, but I think it is a glimpse at the fundamental of life itself and maybe even a key to boundless energy to be who we thrive to be.
My son was born about 3 weeks early so his little body practically fit in my one hand. As I held him in total amazement, you cannot help but notice life spring forth. Within moments he opened his eyes and started flailing his tiny arms and legs. I was caught completely off guard not expecting his little blue eyes to lock on mine so early. I was not really sure what to expect this being my first child, but I was really thinking there would be a scared, screaming infant in terror of this new dramatically different world. Here he is warm and comfortable in his mother’s quiet womb and within a moment notice he is pulled out into a cold, loud, chaotic world. What could have been going through his mind? If his face could say anything at the time, he was more calm than me.

| Just saw a powerful film that was recently featured on Oprah. Some of the best authors and speakers came together to layout this film and explain how you can start changing your life today. Amazingly, they noticed that same pattern in history that sparked my interest in this discovery. Some of the greatest achievers in history, knew how to harness the power of their minds to bring about their dreams.
One of the speakers in particular, made me think of my progress. I bought a book by Joe Vitale AKA Mr. Fire. I purchased his book as a combo deal on Amazon, when I first started studying the Law of Attraction. At the time, it was an extra $3 and he had many glowing reviews. I remember reading the first few pages and turning to my wife in bed and saying this guy is a kook…He says, you can get a new car, just by dreaming about it. I threw the book on the night stand an there it sat for about 6 months. Then through another technique that Joe spoke about–Gratitude–I started seeing unbelievable results. Nothing short of miracles started appearing in my life. So I picked up the book and finished it. I have to admit still that the concepts sound unbelievable, but I am living proof that they do in fact work. The Secret has some incredible points and some, to the first timer, are down-right unbelievable. But I find, sitting back and watching this movie either a great starting point or a needed refresher. |
Got an email the other day of an idea I believe will make people’s lives better…It has already be working for me since I tried it. simplethought.net/ The site allows you to have others think good thoughts for you in return for thinking good thought for them.
Since I tried it, my wife and I found the home of our dreams for $85,000 less then the asking price….coincidence?
Try it….It only takes a minute, but the rewards last a lifetime.
Before I got my first motorcycle, I attended a mandatory safety school that the military required for you to ride a motorcycle on the base. At the time, I never knew how that class might help me. I was riding dirt bikes and all terrain vehicles since I was kid so I walked in thinking it would be a huge waste of time. But there was one statement that the instructor nailed into our heads. Not only did it save my life countless numbers of times, but it also has an impact on everything else we all do.
He said over and over…”You will always go in the direction that you are looking….So don’t look down, because that is where you will go.”

One of my promises this year is to make more time to write. I hope these articles help you as much as they do me. I highly suggest writing your own stories down, since they help you refine the thoughts and sometime even make you draw new conclusions about them.
This is a year I have been looking forward to. First of all, I am soon to be a daddy! That should bring a new perspective to life. Next, I think my mental growth is finally starting to pay dividends and I have been having some of the most incredible opportunities and experiences. Sometimes I feel I just started living again.
Just like the song says….
If you want to be somebody else,
If you’re tired of fighting battles with yourself
If you want to be somebody else
Change your mind…
—Sister Hazel, Fortress
God Bless and Have a Wonderful New Year!
Just want to let you all know that I am still here and although I have a ton of topics that I would like to write about, some projects and a new business venture have my consumed all my attention right now.
I would also like to thank all the people that link to this site and help promote the message.
In the mean time, I would like to leave you with a thought that I will be writing about in the coming weeks. In speaking to a successful a business person recently, he said something that hit me straight on….”If you are not moving forward, you are going backwards.” Reflecting on that statement I noticed that a majority of people’s unhappiness stems from wanting “stability” or what they believe is stability. Well the thought is how can you have “stability” in an ever-changing world? Why would the acorn want to stay an acorn instead of be a mighty oak tree anyway? Why would you want to stay the same person….not grow and have new experiences? And thus the dilemma….fighting the inevitable. Much like my previous statements, it is the equivalent to complaining that the sun rises in the east.
An attitude that embraces change is one that has greater chance at keeping you happier than wishing for things to stay stagnant. But then comes the F-word….FEAR. Are you afraid of change? Are you afraid of the unknown? Do you shirk responsibility? Just like the habits that were created to make you afraid, it is possible to replace them with new habits that give you courage. And when you do….WOW, you will finally know how big the world really is and what opportunities there are for you.
I would love to hear your thoughts about this concept….It will help me solidify this article. That statement sparked a change in me and I would love to pass that flame on to you all.
