The Magic Pill

December 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Doesn’t exist. This is not the movie “Limitless” where you can take a special clear pill that makes you better, faster, adds more skills, and suddenly makes you successful over night. Common sense should tells us all that to get anything GREAT you must work hard for it…

But yet to many people (even myself at times) try to search far and wide for that special something that will suddenly bring great wealth, great health, and great happiness.

STOP! Right now…

Listen, the time wasted in trying to find the magic pill ends up equaling a life time for some. When, if they had been reflective of their actions and aware in the present moment they would realize that if they just did small things every day they could reach the life they dream.

Ever play the lottery? It’s only $1 right? Ever win? Hmmm, so you spend thousand, tens of thousands, or HUNDREDS of thousands for that chance…

People do this in search of instantaneous happiness when in fact they can be happy today, right now. Whether it’s your health, your fitness, or your finances; stop looking for the magic pill and realize what you have is already enough!

From that point you will instantly find happiness when you can be complete with what you have. THEN start working to be better on step at a time. Success is a series of small steps taken over a period of time. Skills don’t happen like the matrix but instead they come from a SERIOUS and constant intent to achieve them.

  • If you want financial freedom then read, study, and practice in real life applications that generate real wealth.
  • If you want to be healthier then read, study, and practice in real life applications that create better health.
  • If you want to lose weight then read, study, and practice in real life applications that create an environment and habits to lose weight.

Stop searching for the next revolutionary weight loss machine or special pill. That’s why I believe so much in things like P90X or Insanity. Not because they are some flashy workout programs but because they are REAL, hard work, combined in a system that you follow. P90X is not 90-days, it’s a way of life!

I make a VERY comfortable income from my business. But I didn’t start here! It took 3 years to get to the level I am at. Is 3 years really a long time to achieve complete financial and time freedom? It wasn’t instant or a magic pill that got me here. It was a desire to read, study, and practice in real life applications the things that gave me the skills, mindset, and perception to get here.

I used to be depressed and think I had nothing to offer the world. But you know what? I started anyway! It’s great to have a plan but if you never take the first step all you will ever have is a cool plan. Right?

So seriously, stop searching for a magic pill that will lead to health, wealth, and ultimate happiness! You are LIFE, you are consciousness, and you have the ability and power to do anything if you simple start NOW.

I always say you have 2 worst enemies in life. You + Time. Why time? It’s simple…

It’s easy to get a spurt of motivation right? New Years resolutions anyone?

But TIME will tell if you are truly serious. Right? Most people last a week or maybe 2. Some strong ones last about a month. But guess what happens? Back to their old ways.

Why? Because they did not read, study, and apply any lessons in their life. It’s not as simple as intent in our waking reality. You must have intent first but you always must take actions to manifest your intent.

Craig Holiday told me, “We never arrive to a place we’ve never been”

To me that means you must not only be able to verbalize your goals but you also must be able to see yourself there. Set goals, know where you want to go, and then read, study and apply real life applications that will take you there. Enough repetition on the whole reading, studying, and applying? =)

Be prepared to fight yourself over time but if you are REALLY ready to make things happen in your life. You will win the fight every time. Forget nay sayer’s or those that try to put you down. That means you are doing something great and it’s making them realize their faults so they lash out rather than face the truth.

I’ll leave you on this…

Changing your life requires that you change your perception of reality. If you remain in the same perceptions you will end up doing a big circle right back to where you started. Really invest time looking INSIDE, find a love and compassion for YOU. Is it not AMAZING that you have the ability to be aware of your awareness? That you can be conscious that you’re conscious?

We THINK we know everything these days because we have ways to tell the weather, we have technology, and we don’t need to hunt for food. If that’s your perception you will never find happiness.

Stop some time. Clear your mind (it may be hard at first). If it’s night look at the stars, if it’s day look at the trees, the grass, listen to the birds, and look at nature around you. Be aware and something will happen in that moment. You will feel SO MUCH SMALLER than you thought you were. But in that realization you will find power. You are just a dot in the scheme of the universe but yet you have to ability to create your own world based on your perceptions and your belief structures. You are pure love on the inside beyond your thoughts. You are awareness.

When you can realize that and then realize that EVERYONE lives in the center of their own universe you suddenly have that power to begin changing your life. Forget external desires, find that love for you inside yourself. You will never find long term happiness in external objects. Search inside and realize that you can do anything if you TRULY put your mind to it.

Do what it takes!

How To Open Your Eyes To The Ever Present Beauty Of Life

September 29, 2010 By 1 Comment

This Video Was Created Solely On A Level Of Awareness Of All Things That Are Ever Present But So Often Over Looked. As You Read Through This Post You Will Discover How This Video Was Inspired Into Creation.

Here is the story…

It all started in the early afternoon on Monday July 6th, 2009 when I was watching the flame flicker on the candle you see in the video, I started to really just observe the moment and everything around me.

I can’t express in words how “Alive” and appreciative of all things I was but I couldn’t let the moment go unshared!

You see, I know for some this video may not shine it’s true meaning but for those with a deep appreciation for every breath and every moment of life you will share the same experience of oneness to all that is.

My goal in this video was to give You the Power I felt and continue to feel in this observation of the ever present “Now“.

At 12:30am that evening as I lay in bed pondering the day I suddenly grabbed my cell phone and set the 3 alarms for 4:30-4:45 – and 5am. I had one goal in mind and that was to climb onto the roof and observe the sun rise as the full moon still shined bright even into the morning.

You see I had realized that day that so many others, including myself, get so caught up in time that a blindness takes away from the true beauty in life.

In the morning, as I woke to my alarm I did exactly as I had intended. As I stood there on the roof for over 2 hours I never once looked at the clock or regretted 4 hours of sleep.

How often do we as people stop and look up into the sky, for even just 20 seconds? When was the last time you lay on your back and watched the stars and the planets exist around us?

My guess is “It’s been awhile” - This video is to share a power of greater consciousness and also to allow you to see what exists always even though you may go years without ever noticing.

This video did not end until the next early morning of July 7th, 2009 when I put all of the clips together. You see this was an all day and all night feeling of deep conviction for life, all because I stopped and opened my “eyes“.

If this created a spark for life in you please share this with all you know who can find in this video a great power and motivation.

Live the life you have imagined!

Looked Up?

September 5, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Maybe it’s just me? Who am I kidding, I know there are others out there in this world with a true fascination with all the massive powers in our world.

Maybe you are one of those people?

I’m going to share with you the inspiration behind this post today and how you can take something away and apply it in your own life immediately.

Before anything, though, I have one simple question that you must ask yourself: “When was the last time I looked up?“. Think about this long and deep within your soul.

The easiest answer is, “Sure, I just looked at the sky a couple minutes ago, yesterday, this week, or at some point”. That’s great but doesn’t truly answer in the profoundness that I pose this question.

It’s easy to take the simple action of tilting your head, focusing your eyes, and gazing at all the wonders above you.

Today, as the day passed by I say quietly in contemplation of self, the life I am living, the actions I am taking, and over-all getting a feel for my direction and my self awareness.

In that moment of quiet contemplation I heard the roar of thunder outside my sliding glass doors. Soon followed with the splash of rain which was soon a massive down pour. Of course living in South West Florida I would not expect anything different. This kind of thing is common.

However, this time was different as I was caught in a moment of “now“. So with that I decided to step outside and watch the storm as closely as possible, and to some, maybe a little to close for comfort.

As I stood and witnessed the astounding power of the lighting I was at a moment part of everything and connected to this very moment in time. Let me paint a picture for you as to how close and powerful this storm really was.

As a rule of thumb you would typically count the seconds immediately following a flash of lightning to the crack of thunder which helps you determine the proximity of the storm.

With that said, no more time would pass as I saw that flash then the thunder would crack. The storm, massive in power, was directly above my head.

Well, long story short – It made me think. Often times people run and hide from what is so apparently beautiful and inconceivable. I know I have a unique appreciation for the power of all things in this world, I have always known this.

Some would probably look at me and think I am crazy or weird for getting so much joy and pleasure from a seemingly every-day thing. But, in response to that I need to express that I see much more than just lighting and hear thunder. I feel truly alive.

All of reality and the life we exist in is not mere coincidence but  the one and only perfect system. All things in life work together to form everything that is life. If one thing was off all other things would fail.

This made me think of my businesses and the “system” I use to market. My life and the actions I take to live it. My relationships and my ability to keep them alive. All those things are a system and easy to allow any one or all of them to fade through lack of attention.

But this storm, life, the universe, and all things surround us are part of one, the ONLY one, perfect system that, regardless of our interaction, will continue on as it has for eternity. Not bound to time as we are and as we live our days.

What you can take away from this observation is something so life changing but so simple it could completely change your life.

Take a moment, next time you hear a storm passing by. Turn off the TV, step away from the computer, get off the phone, forget about all those things that really don’t matter.

Remain in a safe location but forget about your fears. Become alive at that very moment and realize only the power of the storm, life, and your very own existence to experience this for at least 5 minutes.

A better understanding of yourself will lead to a better understanding of your actions, your business, your relations, and all the subsequent things in the system of your life.
