Where is your attention?

Albert Einstein said: "Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves."



So, where is your attention?

Is it where it needs to be?

Is it on the proverbial kiss, the goals you seek?

Or is it scattered and not focused as it should be?



If your attention is in fact where it needs to be, you will reach your goals easily and effortlessly, while having the time of your life getting there.

If not, you will stumble around, lost and bewildered, wondering why things just never seem to work out for you and the experience will not be enjoyable, there will be frustration, misunderstanding and doubt!

Attention is a critcial element to success as it allows you to focus on the plan and the goals. It allows you to not only get the "kiss" but throughly enjoy every sweet second of it!



Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. Please feel free to comment and share your thoughts.

May you be blessed always and in all ways!

Is fear leading you to failure?

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new." - Albert Einstein

Inherently anytime you risk doing something, you risk both failure and success but wouldn't you say that never risking anything is also a form of failure? And just what is failure anyway? To me failure is never trying, never taking the risk. Failure is not an outcome if you tried and risked something.

As far as I am concerned, failure is only failure when:

You do not even try.

You simply try but do not give it your all. Simply trying is failure because of just that.

You gave it your all and still did not succeed based upon what you perceived success was for you.

But did you really even fail then? I say "no" and the reason I say "no" is, if you gave it absolutely everything you had, you put your heart and soul into it, it would only be a failure if you neither learned nor gained anything from the act.

We, however gain knowledge and/or experience from everything we do. It may not be apparent but we do. At a minimum, the learning happens on the cellular level and so our body learned.

The one thing we all must conquer is fear for fear can and will paralyze us into taking no action and thus risking nothing and so gaining nothing,which in fact then leads to failure.

So, how do we conquer fear? Through love. You see the opposite of love is not in fact hate, it is fear.

As the saying goes, "love can move mountains" and it truly can. So, inject love into everything you do and fear will simply fade allowing you to experience life in all it's glory and splendor. And remember it is the journey not the destanation that matters most because therein lies the knowledge and experiences of life.

May you be blessed always and in all ways.

A Beautiful Prayer

As I end my sabbatical from writing this blog, I was wondering what I should open with and it came to me to share this beautiful prayer.

As I was reading the book, "Serpent of Light Beyond 2012: The Movement of the Earth's Kundalini and the Rise of the Female Light, 1949 - 2013" by Drunvalo Melchizedek, I came across a Taos Pueblo prayer that I just had to share:

Beauty before me
Beauty behind me
Beauty on my left
Beauty on my right
Beauty above me
Beauty below me
Beauty is love
Love is God.

This really resonated in my heart and I know it will do the same for you. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. Please share you thoughts!

Namaste!

What are you going to do?

There has been a story circulating recently about a "good samaritan" who was cited by the Colorado State Police for jaywalking, even though, he was doing a good deed for an elderly woman. And to top it off, the "good samaritan" was severly injured during the incident.

Fortunately, common sense has finally prevailed and the citation was voided.

However, it begs the question. Would you have helped in this situation? Or would you have had to think about it because you might get cited for jaywalking?

I have to say that I believe that most people, when seeing the opportunity to help another, would do it without thinking about it. In fact, the "good samaritan" despite his injuries and receiving the citation has said that he would do it all over again.

It is that spirit of human compassion and kindness that we all need to be tapping into right now. It is things like that, which will see us through this down cycle in our economy. It is our hope, our belief, our knowing that everything will be fine in the future that will help us create a brighter future for ourselves.

We need all the "good samaritans" of the world to continue to step forward and show us that love, kindness, joy and peace are not just wonderful thoughts but the way we should be living. If one person can prosper during this time than we all can because what any of us can do, we all can do.

So, what would you do? Or better yet, what are you doing? Are you like the good samaritan that would risk it all for the sake of another? Or are you content to listen to the fear mongers and naysayers and allow them to have the power, that you have given them, to control your life?

It is up to each and every one of us to use the power that the universe has bestowed upon us to make this world a better place for us and future generations to come. Starting this very moment, we can choose peace over war, love over hate, courage over fear, prosperity over poverty, abundance over lack, joy over sorrow and health over disease.

This is our time to step up and create a world that we want, need and deserve to live in. It is time to set aside what divides us and focus on what brings us together.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog to day. You bless me with your presence. As always, feel free to share you thoughts, comments and ideas.

May you have all the love, peace, joy, good health and prosperity, in abundance, forevermore.

Are you doing good?

Are you doing good?

I love the wisdom contained in quotes and so today I wanted to share some of them around a common theme. Are you doing good?

"In the time we have it is surely our duty to do all the good we can to all the people we can in all the ways we can." - William Barclay

Can you imagine how the world would be if we all followed this and made it our mantra?

"The most important ingredient we put into any relationship is not what we say or what we do, but what we are." - Stephen R. Covey

What good are you doing today?

"It's simply a matter of doing what you do best and not worrying about what the other fellow is going to do" .- John R. Amos

Are you being as kind as possible?

"Ask yourself constantly, ‘What is the right thing to do?" - Confucius

Are you sharing your love with the world?

"Think in terms of what's good for the other person and success will seek you out." -Mary Kay Ash

Are you sharing your unique talents with the world?

"We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from it". - William Osler

Do you have an attitude of gratitude?

“Attitude as much as anything else will determine the quality of your life!” – Harry Shade

For today, take time today to ponder both the questions and the quotes and see what you come up with. It is always a good idea to reflect on your life and see how you are living.

Are you contributing to society in a positive way?
Are you doing good for yourself and others?
Are you someone people want to be around because you have such a wonderful attitude towards life?
Do you make people feel energized and alive?
Do you leave things better than you found them?
Are you an inspiration to others? Do people seek you out for your guidance?
Do you spread love, peace, joy and prosperity wherever you go?
Do you do and give your best every day?
Do you love with all your heart?

As always, thank you for taking the time to ready my blog. It is my intention to help you experience the Power of E and be more empowered, enlightened and evolved! Please share your comments and thoughts.

May you be blessed always and in all ways.

Social Traffic - What is it all about?

Hi everyone,

It has been awhile since I posted as I have taken some time to prioritize and reorganize my life and my business, all the while coaching basketball and getting on board a new business start-up adventure. I have also told you in the past that I would bring opportunities & people to your attention who I know can help you be the best you can be and today is one of those days.

I took the time to really assess where I was going, what I wanted to accomplish and who I wanted to become., something I highly recommend we all do from time to time. While in the midst of this self-discovery hiatus, a recurring thought kept entering my head. What can I do to make a major impact on the world? What can I do to come together with a group of like minded individuals and work together for a common cause that will change the world like never before? And then, just as I have been teaching for years, it was manifested, when I met Simon Ford on Facebook. You see, Simon is the visionary behind Social Traffic and it is everything I was looking for.

You do not have to be a business owner or entrepreneur to join and/or gain something from the experience of belonging to this team. There is no cost involved, other then your time and you do not have to want to become a social marketing expert. All is needed is a burning desire to help make positive changes for the world, all the while having access to training and mentoring to help you with your personal and/or professional growth. Who knows, you may even make some friends for life.

While my blog will still be dedicated to helping you be the best you can be, I have to say that taking a look at Social Traffic Inc. would be a very smart choice in helping you achieve that goal

What is Social Traffic Inc.?

We are a social media marketing company dedicated to building a global organization based upon the visionary idea that we can build it from scratch using human capital. We are doing this by attracting some of the world's most forward thinking, socially conscious, passionate, compassionate people into one cohesive team through the power of social networking, all while supporting and promoting wonderful causes around the world.

Why should I consider joining this movement?

If you are looking to be part of a organization that is creating a paradigm shift in the way social marketing is used. If you are looking to be part of a historical event. If you are seeking personal and professional growth. If you want to support wonderful global causes. If you would be willing to exchange time and effort for some of the most advanced social media marketing training and mentoring ever offered before, then this is something I encourage you to check it out.

Where do I go & how do I get started?

Here are links to our blog, YouTube channel and Social Traffic Segments on my radio show:
