Remembering my Mentor, Dr. Wayne Dyer...

I am still in shock, my heart aches and tears continue to roll down my cheeks. I am going to miss this man way too much. I will listen to his teachings everyday for the rest of my Life. Good bye Wayne. I love you...

Tribute from Hay House... 

Connect Your Own Dots !! Live Life ~~

When you are inspired by a great purpose, everything will begin to work for you. Inspiration comes from moving back in-spirit and connecting to the seven faces of intention. When you feel inspired, what appeared to be risky becomes a path you feel compelled to follow. The risks are gone because you are following your bliss, which is the truth within you. This is really love working in harmony with your intention. Essentially, if you do not feel love, you do not feel the truth, and your truth is all wrapped up in your connection to Spirit. This is why inspiration is such an important part of the fulfillment of your intention to live a life on purpose. I am on my way...

Happy Monday !! Dance for One Minute ~~

Growing Older is a Wonderful, Beautiful dream... Love "YOU"

A legend tells of a man who used to carry water every day to his village, using two large pitchers tied on either end of a piece of wood, which he placed across his shoulders.

One of the pitchers was older than the other and was full of small cracks; every time the man came back along the path to his house, half of the water was lost.

For two years, the man made the same journey. The younger pitcher was always very proud of the way it did its work and was sure that it was up to the task for which it had been created, while the other pitcher was mortally ashamed that it could carry out only half its task, even though it knew that the cracks were the result of long years of work.

So ashamed was the old pitcher that, one day, while the man was preparing to fill it up with water from the well, it decided to speak to him.

We all, at some point, grow old and acquire other qualities, and these can always be turned to good advantage.

“I wish to apologize because, due to my age, you only manage to take home half the water you fill me with, and thus quench only half the thirst awaiting you in your house.”

The man smiled and said:

“When we go back, be sure to take a careful look at the path.”

The pitcher did as the man asked and noticed many flowers and plants growing along one side of the path.

“Do you see how much more beautiful nature is on your side of the road?” the man remarked. “I knew you had cracks, but I decided to take advantage of them. I sowed vegetables and flowers there, and you always watered them. I’ve picked dozens of roses to decorate my house, and my children have had lettuce, cabbage and onions to eat. If you were not the way you are, I could never have done this. We all, at some point, grow old and acquire other qualities, and these can always be turned to good advantage.”

How to Quit Blowing it. (Had to Share...)

It’s easy to give in to the things you see.
You see others having fun and feel left out because you’re not involved. You hear about a party or get-together and drop everything to join in and be a part of it.
You see it and want it.
It’s easy to give into your feelings too.
You feel tired or embarrassed by your lack of progress, so you stop trying. You feel guilty or obligated, so you put other people’s goals ahead of your own.
But what are you not seeing?
The key to crushing it in life is to expand your awareness.
Start looking for gaps in your knowledge. Start looking for absences.
You might feel unsure of yourself and your goals right now in this moment, but you’ve felt these feelings before and know they’re only temporary.
There’s something you’re not seeing.
You see pictures of people having fun and relaxing somewhere tropical online and you think that you should be doing what they’re doing.
But you know that you’re just reacting to what you see.
You’re just experiencing a useless reflex.
What you’re not seeing is how hard those people worked to get to where they are. You’re not seeing the escape plan they created and successfully executed.
Or you’re not seeing how much money their mommies and daddies are giving them, or how many bills they’re going to have piled up afterwards.
Either way, you should stop focusing just on what you see and get back to work.

5 Keys To Crushing It

1. Pour it on at the end, don’t pull back.

When you get close to a victory in life, your first instinct is to pull back.
This is normal. You’ve worked hard and your mind is ready for a break. You see the finish line and every fiber in your body is telling you to let up.
Don’t go by what you see.
Yes, you are going to finish. But how are you going to finish?
Most of life’s biggest disappointments come right before a big victory. Someone pulls back. An opening is uncovered. Someone or something else fills the void.
The opportunity is lost.
Stop relaxing near the finish line. Instead, pour it on. Increase your intensity. Control everything.
You might feel like the victory is yours whether you let up or not, but there are an uncountable number of things you’re not seeing.
Competitors hiding in the weeds.
Obstacles waiting to strike. Lady luck looking for a reason to change her mind.
Don’t give them an inch. Follow through with 100% effort to the very end.

2. Reinforce success, not doubts.

The mind forgets success very easily. But it loves to remember losses.
According to Dr. Rick Hanson, who is a neuropsychologist and Senior Fellow at UC Berkeley, positive information has to be held in your awareness for a dozen or more seconds before being transferred to your longterm memory banks.
Negative information is transferred instantly
Your mind is very good at replaying your losses. It will fill your head with pictures of failures over and over again if you allow it.
Don’t let these doubts creep in. Keep your negativity bias and impostor syndrome in check.
Watch over your thoughts.
When past failures or potential future failures start playing in your head, change the channel.
Stop asking yourself, “What if I fail?” Instead, ask yourself, “When have I succeeded at something similar in the past?”

3. Drop negative people, don’t drag them along.

Negative people have a way of sneaking into your life. They’re like leeches.
If you’re not careful, you’ll wake up one day surrounded by gossips, haters, and drama queens. All of them sucking the life out of you.
Identifying these people is easy.
Getting rid of them, on the other hand, can be very difficult.
Most people drag a net of negative friends around with them everywhere they go for years.
Cut them loose.
Don’t keep negative friends in your life just because they’re the closest people to you.
Stop looking at the handful of people whose approval you will never have and start looking at the 7 billion other people on the planet who might like you just the way you are.

4. Blame yourself, not others. 

You can’t see yourself. Not really.
You can pass by a mirror every now and then or ask for someone else’s viewpoint, but you can never really see yourself from the outside.
You can see other people though.
Lots of other people. You can see all the people and things that come against you.
Which makes it really easy to blame them for your problems. All of your problems. But…
They’re not to blame. You are.
You’re responsible for all of your successes and failures. You’re responsible for the good and bad in your life.
Of course, you’re not responsible for every event in your past. But you are responsible for how you handle it.
You are accountable for the aftermath.
Who you are right now is your fault. Start seeing yourself as the responsible party.
This is the most empowering way to live.

5. Change your approach, don’t repeat it.

The reason people get stuck in a rut is because they repeat themselves blindly.
They blow it in life because they keep trying the same stale strategies over and over again.
What if you did the opposite?
The only way to get unstuck in life is to do something different.
You have to break your current pattern.
But this is hard.
People get comfortable. They get lazy.
If you really want to change, do something big, not small.
Small changes can’t build momentum.
The gravity of the status quo is too intense.
Big changes on the other hand, obliterate patterns.
They eliminate the pull of normal. Stop looking to the strategies you’ve always used—the ones that are easy to see—to change your life.
You need new strategies.
Wild strategies.
Opposite and completely-unlike-you strategies.
Stop looking at the seen.
Start looking for the unseen.
Start creating a positive change in your life right now.

“If you set your goals ridiculously high and it’s a failure, you will fail above everyone else’s success.”

Thank You Dr. Hankel 

Make your Health a Priority today.

How much does this quote from the Dalai Lama ring true in your life?  Everyone from time to time looses sight of what is truly important.  In this modern world it is very easy to get caught up in our aspirations and goals and we forget what is important.  Yes, paying the bills is a necessity for survival.  We all need to be able to put food in our bellies and a roof over our head but many of us aspire for much more.

Take a step back for just a moment and look at how well you are taking care of yourself.  Our physical, mental, and spiritual health needs to be one of our top priorities.  We are at our best when we are healthy.  When we discover our health, we tend to be happier and we are much more likely to achieve our goals.  We can do more for ourselves and for others when we take good care of ourselves.  

Make your health a priority now.

The Value of an Hour: Read all about it !!

“If you invest one hour each day in understanding yourself and your environment better, you will accumulate nine 40-hour weeks over the course of a year!”

Yikes! As you can imagine I was blown away by this information. 

Nine 40-hour weeks? This seemed impossible until I did the math. 365 days, times one hour each is…yup, nine 40-hour weeks!

How good could you get at something if you did it all day, every day for just over 2 months. Well, you already know the answer to that.

I thought I could be awesome!

If we do this over the course of just five years, I would have invested the equivalent of 1,825 hours of focus on whatever I desired to accomplish my life. Speak Mandarin anyone? got French? 

Imagine for a minute, how good you can become at anything that you did one hour a day for the next year. How fit could you get? How much more in love would you get and give? How much more money could you earn?

Let me suggest that one hour is a small price to pay in comparison to the payoff. Just one hour a day may be the razor’s edge you need to really get the results you want in your life.

For me, the decision was easy. I have been studying human potential and the mind for over 10 years. Each time I think I’m getting a good handle on it, I am gently reminded of how much there is to observe and learn.

Is getting what you want worth an hour a day? I certainly hope so.

I still manage to set aside my hour to read motivational stories or listen to inspirational people. They are the fuel for my mind and it keeps me learning and yearning for more.

Please adopt an hour a day for yourself! Pick one area of your life that you want to improve and commit the next 90 days to that one thing.

I assure you that the results you achieve will be well worth the decision! And remember…you can’t take out of life more than you put in. Just Do It !! You'll be glad you did. Absolutely, positively, guaranteed.   Hugs !! 

Keynote Speaker Darren Hardy: Strive to Fail

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing. Remember, sometimes you win, sometimes you LEARN.
Failure..

Make Love Daily

The one thing we all want more of in our lives is love. One of the most valuable personal development principles I was ever taught was: Don’t want what you want. That will only create more want.

Instead: Give what you want. That will ignite the process of creating it. What do you want?
Confidence? Bolster the confidence of someone else. Courage? Encourage to someone else.
Hope? Provide hope to someone else. Money? Give money to support someone/something else.
Belief? Instill belief in someone else. Love? Give love to someone else. Nuthin' wrong with that. Please read on...


Be Love!

Why You Should Get to know Mr. Jim Rohn

I just want to be better than I used to be...

Post This Everywhere! (sure Marco, whatever...)

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

And a big THANK YOU to my Friend, Mr. Frank Somma for sending me this tasty little morsel! 

Marco here, you get one shot at this life. Enjoy it! 

Peace, Love, Happy!

GOD in the Box

God in the Box - GLOBAL SNEAK PEEK from God In The Box on Vimeo.


Imagine walking up to a large Box on a street corner. On the side it reads, "God In The Box." Inside the Box is a drawing tablet, a pencil and two questions: What does God look like to you? What does God mean to you? How would you answer?
God In The Box is a documentary that follows filmmaker Nathan Lang and his crew, as they travel the country, exploring the diverse and curious ways we see God, in our mind's eye -- through the lens of their amazing Box. But watch it now, God won't be around (free) for very long...
