Dare to be YOU. Dare to be YOU, and live the unlived life within you, the life you were born to live. Have you ever felt like your life so far has been a diluted form of what is possible for you? Guilt and fear keep you disconnected from who you really are. When you reconnect to your essence, guilt and fear are no longer there, they have dissolved, and the magnificence of who you are radiates from you. Resistance is what stands between the life you live and the unlived life within you. Resistance comes in many forms, such…

Reflecting upon the years of my work, I have found one consistent truth: one's emotional state will in no small way determine the quality of one's life, the depth of one's relationships, and the degree of physical well-being that is achieved. Stress is thought of as an amorphous catch-all, and we know it contributes to dysfunction and disease, but the truth is even more potent than that. Emotions are vibrational energy and energy is the source of all creations and manifestations. When we feel guilt about having more money than members of our family, we limit our ability to create…

Each and every one of us is put here to do something spectacular, something that will better this earth. Your personality, your character traits, everything in your DNA was given to you as a gift. A gift that will propel you to new heights to achieve exactly what you came here to do. Trusting in your gifts and aligning yourself with integrity are two very important things to remember. When you come to your last day and take your very last breath, you cannot take money or fame with you. Those things are not reality and they do not serve…

If this were my last day, my only day - there is only love. All there ever was and will be is love. Brilliance comes from the inner knowing of this. And by love, I mean the connection of us humans in body, mind, and heart - souls together in harmony with gratitude for what is. When love is present everything radiates and beauty abounds. We are not captured and hostage to our personality structure, to our opinions or our judging mind, and we know that the fabric of the universe is seamless until we cut into it, creating cause…

Truly, we are individuals of immense worth. Whether or not we realize it, you and I hold within our very lives the opportunity to be and do and become all that we choose to, allowing us to act as creators of choice, architects of existence, and inventors of reality We, as individuals of divine origin, are creating more than we realize! We are, in fact, designing a masterpiece the likes of which can effectuate the future of people the world around. But what is the nature of this masterpiece? It is LIFE, the luminous journey we travel while here. It…

To laugh often and much. My objective in life is to be happy at the end of each day. It's easier on some days than on others. Choose financial abundance and make no excuses. Go for and pursue "money", if you want. However, first understand "what" money is and "why" you are pursuing it. You can never be poor enough to help someone else and attaining the money is really only the beginning. When given a choice, take the risk! You and your life will be better for it. It is easier to tear something down, than it is to…

Hope is the knowledge that change is possible, even when it seems hard to imagine. In a world that very much feels like it has been thrown into a cuisinart, there are so many opportunities to be part of the solution. You bring a unique combination of heart and talent to the world that no one else possesses! While the world tends to favor the status quo and conformity, there is so much fun to be had in the experience of living, growing and finding the courage to live a purpose driven, rewarding life. It won't be without challenges and…

There is a quote by the mystic poet Rumi that goes, "Out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing, there is a field: I'll meet you there." I am interested in that field. I am interested in the freedom of that open space. I want to breathe that oxygen. In it there is no fear or shame or guilt or the word "should." It simply opens its spaciousness to us. Calls forth the possibility of what we can create there. What do you create? I don't mean the nouns of your life. I create books, for instance. Those are…

As I sat down to write this piece, I thought about the word "InspIre." No wonder the word starts with the letter "I" and "U" is nowhere to be found. Yet, isn't it interesting that when we think of the word InspIre, it is often to think of who InspIres us and is even more likely to be answered with some external person, mentor or idol? What if we began to truly see the "I" in InspIre and recognized the ways in which we InspIre ourselves and others? Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful thing to be InspIred…

On April 1st, 1982, I went through the windshield of an automobile. Almost a month later, I walked out of the hospital on my own. Blind. From that day on, since my vision was gone, I've had to learn to use my mental vision. Here's what I've learned. As a person thinks in their mind, so will they be.  Take that one message and learn it, consume it, memorize it, adopted it. Make it a habitual part of your every day life, and you can change yourself and the world that you live in. Every thing that you and I…
