Dear Human,

Someday you will die and leave this earth behind. But on all the others days you won't. So live them. Live them like the priceless gift they are. Live each new today with eyes wide open. See the beauty. Focus on the good. Feel the sun, snow, wind, rain and elements of your planet on your skin. Walk your feet upon earth's ground. Star gaze. Climb trees. Go for drives. Look at other peoples homes and say to yourself, "There are people living their lives in there." Be aware that every person in humanity is going through their own thing. Be thankful. See your blessings, not only your problems.

Someday you are going to die. True. But on all the other days you will not.

What the Hell is a "Purpose" anyway? Wanna find out?

Marco here.. 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. Looks as though I need to start practicing what I've been preaching all these years..

What is my purpose anyway?

Heart Stop Beating Trailer: This is AMAZING!

Heart Stop Beating | Jeremiah Zagar from Focus Forward Films on Vimeo.

Heart Stop Beating is the story of Billy Cohn & Bud Frazier, two visionary doctors from the Texas Heart Institute, who in March of 2011 successfully replaced a dying man's heart with a 'continuous flow' device they developed, proving that life was possible without a pulse or a heart beat.

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!

Laughing at my Nightmare! Why Happiness is Always an Option

Think! the next time you're about to bitch and complain about "your" life...

FYI... People Today Are Metabolically Less Healthy Than Their Parents

Marco here. Been way busy, so sorry this blog still sucks. Oh well. Love me anyway! OBKB...
Life expectancy at birth rose by a few years for both men and women in the last two decades of the 20th century. This has come at an enormous cost in the quality of life of our elders, for they are suffering with more pain and greater disability than ever before in last 15 years of life. People globally are living longer but chronic debilitating conditions are becoming more prevalent. What does this mean? Get your ass to the gym and start eating real food! Learn to breathe. Have great sex, even if it's by yourself. Relax. Learn yoga. Let go of all the BS in your life. Stop taking things personally. Hate nothing or no one. Hang out with your kids, grand kids, the neighbor's kids, the dog, the Wife, the Husband, do something, move, get a life, read a book, just stop bitchin' and complainin'! Life's too short to live a long nasty life. That'll be $35.00. Just fax over the ca$h. I won't spend it. Ellen! Save me...

HOW TO SIT IN A CHAIR AND DRINK TEA

Marco here. So simple. So profound... 

Choose your leaves. Prepare your tea, then, slow down, like you’ve just turned off the highway into a quiet neighborhood. Normal rat-race speed is unsuitable for what we’re about to do. Hurrying through the process of relaxing defeats its purpose.

This experience is all about decelerating. Take a breath if you have to, or if you wish to.

You will now confront one of modern society’s ever-present dangers, which is the risk of distraction we face whenever nothing interesting happens for a few minutes. Your muscle memory will suggest something, maybe slipping your smartphone out, maybe leaning over the computer chair to surf Reddit, maybe straightening something on the counter. Worst of all, you may start talking to yourself in your head.

Stay where you are. You’re making tea. You may have the impulse might be to self-entertain. Opt instead to do something simple and self-contained, like stretching or looking out the window. If you’re game, just stand beside the stove. Let time just hang there, without making you feel like you should be somewhere else.

Whatever you end up doing for that two minutes, if you stay with it, your simple experience of standing or window-looking will seem to grow in intensity, until your whole world begins whistling and rattling.

Don’t rush here. A boiling kettle is not a crisis. To make sure you’re not reacting, watch it exhale steam for a few seconds. Observe how the world stays together. Let your pulse return to normal, then take it off.

Pour your water into the cup. Set the kettle aside. Heat off.

Find something to put your teabag or infuser on once the tea is fully steeped. A saucer or a napkin. Take this, and your cup, to your chair.

Walking with a scalding liquid is an act that summons the necessary mindfulness on its own. Watch your hands like they’re a movie. They will know what to do. Let the rest of you disappear.

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...

Laughter! Why? Because you just gotta laugh sometime...

Be Your Own HERO!

Samsara Documentary New Trailer

SAMSARA is a Sanskrit word that means “the ever turning wheel of life” and is the point of departure for the filmmakers as they search for the elusive current of interconnection that runs through our lives.  Filmed over a period of almost five years and in twenty-five countries, SAMSARA transports us to sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial sites, and natural wonders.  By dispensing with dialogue and descriptive text, SAMSARA subverts our expectations of a traditional documentary, instead encouraging our own inner interpretations inspired by images and music that infuses the ancient with the modern. I promise, this will be Beautiful!

GRATITUDE ROCKS!

Hey, it's Marco! Did you know that people who practice daily gratitude feel better about their lives as a whole, exercise more regularly, and are more optimistic about the future? When you live your life with gratitude, it is much easier to enjoy the spirit of giving. The simple practice of giving thanks each day will help you to create a continuous cycle of positivity, happiness and health. Thanks Marco! What may I do to help create a healthier, happier and more peaceful world? How about...this month, take time to recognize the daily fortunes in your life and pay it forward. By embracing both gratitude and generosity, together we will create positive change in our own lives and throughout the world. Here are five agreements to help you along your journey:


1. Be Impeccable With Your Word.
2. Don't Take Anything Personally.
3. Don't Make Assumptions.
4. Always Do Your Best.
5. Be Skeptical, but Learn to Listen.

Want to know more?

Be Impeccable With Your Word: Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

Don't Take Anything Personally: Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

Don't Make Assumptions: Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

Always Do Your Best: Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

Be Skeptical, But Learn To Listen: Understand that everyone has his or her own perspective and agenda reflected in their words. It is up to us to discern the truth behind the words, but always to be respectful of another's right to his or her views, even if we don't share them. Each of us is the artist of our own life, the director of our own play, and we can make it an adventure or a drama - heaven or hell, it's up to us. And remember, don't count the days, make the days count!
