Have you ever really given much thought to how the Power of Trust plays out in your life?
No...I mean have you REALLY thought about it?
Here's why I ask that...
There are a very diverse and wide range of "perceptions" regarding what trust is and isn't.
Let's look at a perspective that has proven to be "profoundly powerful" for me, shall we?
No worries, there's nothing to DO in the literal sense of the word with the exception of making a choice (if necessary) to shift and begin adopting a way of BEING that will without fail enable and empower YOU to be, do and have more of whatever heartfelt desires that you aspire to create in your life.
We’re going to delve into what I've discovered to be perhaps, the single most important way of “being” that we can "choose" to engage in to ensure with unwavering certainty that abundance and happiness becomes and remains a way of life long term.
Namely…the Power of Trust.
To consciously activate the Power of Trust, first it’s necessary to discuss and cover some things that I’ve found during my many years of walking a number of paths, which I've also found keep many from fully believing and trusting that all things in life….and I do mean ALL THINGS in life, work together for a greater good.
And the “key word” in that statement isn't trust but rather to learn, understand and choose to “consciously” activate the power of trust. Because doing so "consciously as well as intentionally will enable the Power of Trust to do what it was designed and intended to do and at the same time enable you to be, do and have all that you have the ability to be, do and have.

Are You “Seeking Enlightenment?” As You Think, So Shall You BE
I connect and communicate with a lot of people from around the world who are on the conscious path. For the most part, they “get the fact” that our predominant method of thinking creates our reality. They get it “intellectually” at least. But an intellectual understanding doesn’t equate to “knowing.”
I have a lot of people that I connect with “tell me” they “know” this or that yet they aren’t experiencing a kind and quality of life in tangible and measurable form that aligns with what they “claim” they know.
They want to “know it”, they want to believe it, but they’re not experiencing it.
Let’s clear the air about “knowing and experiencing” the heartfelt desires that we all have.
When you know something, you’re experiencing it. You’re not thinking about it, not waiting for it, not visualizing and meditating and hoping and wishing and praying that it’s going to show up someday. When you “truly know” something it’s “knowing” that you already have it which is the one and only thing necessary to experience it. But make no mistake. That is a necessary and often overlooked part of fully experiencing whatever the “desire” might be.
Results in life aren’t “results” until they’re measurable. Until they’re made “real and tangible” they cannot be “fully experienced.” I use “fully experience” in the sense that experiencing the desire in tangible and “measurable form”…the full experience…must be achieved on 3 levels…mentally, emotionally and physically.
Anything less leads to a widespread and common condition known as wishful thinking syndrome.
Here’s what creates and sustains “wishful thinking syndrome”…
The very fact that you “believe” that whatever you desire has yet to show up. It’s that very method of thinking and perceiving which makes the “showing up” of the desire some future occurrence. And it’s going to continue to elude you and remain some “future event” unless and until you make the choice to shift and understand that there is no separation between you and the desire.
Let’s use a desire that most everyone on the conscious path tells me they have a desire to experience.
Becoming enlightened.
Becoming “enlightened” is perhaps the single most important and sought after desire that those who are serious and sincere about becoming “fully conscious” have a desire to experience. What’s often overlooked is the fact that we all without exception are enlightened already. We don’t have to seek enlightenment. We are enlightened. We only have to remember that we are. It’s only necessary to become aware and conscious of the fact that anything we “perceive” ourselves as BEING or not being…as HAVING or not having is only due to what we’ve learned to be true or untrue about life, ourselves, and on a larger scale what we know and understand to be “true” about The Source that determines what and how all these “desires” we have come to be or remain desires. It’s these learned ways of “BEING” which has created the belief that we “lack something” or require something more to become Whole.
Since the Whole is just that…EVERYTHING…a perception and belief of not currently BEING and/or having what you desire and/or the perception of something less than already having your desire fulfilled, is mirrored into your “tangible reality” as “not having” whatever it might be just as you choose.
That’s the one and only thing that creates the perception of separation that keeps us “seeking” this thing or that thing. Enlightenment is no different. It…whatever you can possibly “conceive” it as being… whether it be enlightenment or something else altogether is an integral part of the Whole just as everything is.
There isn’t any separation…any distance…any time/space at the Whole level. The Whole is the Whole. There’s nowhere to go, nothing to want, nothing to need and nothing to seek out. It ALL exists within the Whole already.
And so do YOU. There is NOTHING...NO THING...that the Whole is not.
If you perceive “enlightenment” as being something that has to be sought out and acquired, it’s going to remain just that. The absence of or the attainment of anything is an integral part of this Whole as anything and everything is.
Seeking enlightenment is going to keep you “seeking enlightenment.” It’s always going to be somewhere further down the path. The fact that your thoughts, beliefs and perceptions create your reality is very real. There is no discernment. The creative process is non-discerning, non-rational and provides results just as you choose. There is no judgment, assumptions or distinctions as to what you should or should not choose. Only results that always align and harmonize with whatever choice you make.
Results that are infinite in nature…the potential results that exist within the Whole encompass every conceivable possibility. Those results can be looked at and perceived as a “a lack of results” yet a “lack of results is an impossibility. It is and can only be a perception that shows up in tangible and measurable form in the various aspects of your life.
As you believe, you receive. Ask and it is given. Knock and the door will be opened.
Perhaps some helpful questions to ask yourself that may lead you to understand why you are wanting or desiring anything are these…
What do you believe? What are you asking for? Which door and/or doors are you knocking on?
You can continue to “seek enlightenment” or “BE Enlightened.” There are no right, wrong, good or bad choices. There are only choices that lead to the tangible and measurable manifestation or the absence of the “consciously held” desire. The process of manifestation and the cycles that sustain the process insure that something is always created. Is it the absence for you or the measurable result that you consciously desire which is showing up?
Are you consciously and intentionally calling forth what you desire to experience or “unconsciously sabotaging” the manifestation of what you “claim you want” but aren’t yet experiencing?
You’re always manifesting something. The tangible manifestation ALWAYS shows up as the lack of or the fulfillment of.
There is no “in between.” Either you are or you’re not. Either you do or you don’t. Either you will or you won’t.
There is only One Way to know at a level that enables you to “truly know” that there is no separation between you and “whatsoever ye desire”, whether it be enlightenment or something else altogether.
That way is meditation. It’s the one and only path that can and does show you that enlightenment is already yours. It enables you to move beyond the limitations of mind where separation remains a real and consistent reality and enables you to move into the space where all desires are, always have been and always will be and have already been fulfilled.
Now it’s simply a choice to recognize and understand just how “true” that is.
Do yourself and your world a huge favor. Learn and consistently engage yourself in the art of meditation and you’ll NEVER want or desire for anything, yet at the same time all these things that you “consciously desire” yet may be unconsciously and unknowingly sabotaging will be added unto you.
That's a promise that is, has and will continue to sustain and fulfill itself whether you choose to become and remain "conscious" of that fact or not.
The only question that remains now is "Will you or Won't you?"
If you're open to the idea of taking 20 minutes per day to be, do and have more of what you "truly desire" for yourself, you may find immense benefit in what The Awakening Dimensional Consciousness Guided Meditation System can do for you.

Would You Like To Know How To Begin Manifesting Love From The Inside Out?
I write A LOT about Love, life and getting what you want out of life at Abundance-and-Happiness.com.
I do because I know you can get what you want. Whatever you want. You CAN that is, if you choose to. Most just aren't "choosing" to do that simply because they don't know how.
There are a growing number of people who do "know" that they can, but many more who don't.
A lot of people benefit from what I share and A LOT of people "think" that's a bunch of whooey, airy fairy nonsense. The thing I love about that is that we get to be right...ALWAYS and Unconditionally.
That's both amazing and funny to me. As amazing as it is, those who aren't "getting what they want", don't think it's very funny. In that case I don't think it's funny either, which is why I do what I do. In fact, I do what I do so more might see, understand and believe that they can get what they want too. It makes them smile and be happy. Truly happy.
I LOVE that.
I'll cut to the chase...
Here's where YOU Manifesting Love From The Inside Out comes into play.

So don't be fooled. Although it does show you how to "attract" the love of your life, it's the treasure map, the path, the tools and the process all rolled into one for experiencing an extraordinary quality of life physically, financially, relationally, emotionally and spiritually.
A lot of books are written from the head and some are written from the heart. This is a masterpiece written from "the heart"...the "soul heart" actually, which is why I'm sharing it.
It will penetrate your soul and enhance your life IMMENSELY if you'll allow it to.
Get this book, listen with your heart and do what Dr Tammi shares. She "gets it" and so will you if you choose to. It will enable you to start getting what YOU want. Whatever you want. What you "truly" want.
And if you doubt it, contact me and we'll make that bet. I LOVE winning.

Quit Letting Your Life Choices Kick Your Ass...or Not
I send out a monthly newsletter that is normally reserved for those who choose to become a part of the Enlightened Journey community.
It's a free personal empowerment newsletter but some people don't associate free with having anything much of value.
And in a number of cases, they're right. There's a bunch of "free junk" online today claiming to have some value but it has anything but real value in a number of cases.
And there always seems to be some strings attached to "free." In other words free leads to "give me some of your money." And that's OK, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, I'm just making the point, that in most cases "free" doesn't necessarily mean "free."
Since there's so much going on "out there" in the world currently, I thought I'd provide a "no strings attached" link to this month's edition simply because there are so many "allowing" life to kick their ass, and "perceiving" there is nothing they can personally do about it.
Rest assured there is.
Although that does remain true for those who "believe and perceive" that, it's in no way, shape or form based on a "Higher Truth."
So, with the hope and intention that more will "figure that out", I've decided to provide no strings attached access to this months newsletter without having to opt-in and without becoming a part of the Enlightened Journey community.
Check it out and if you see the value, come join us and we'll walk the path together that leads to what I refer to as Higher Truth.
It's life changing I can assure you, IF you'll "allow it" to be. That's truly all that's necessary and it might assist those who are "allowing" life to kick there ass, or even if it's not, provide some things to ponder as you figure out how to be, do and have more of what you "truly desire" in life.
I know it can help, but it's what YOU know and do or don't do that really matters.
I'll let you choose that for yourself. If you decide you'd like to, go here and check it out.
I "think" you might like it. Maybe even Love it.
Leave me some feedback and let me know what you think...or not.

Ready To Create An Awesome 2011? You Might Consider The Power of Being
Well, It's that time of year again when we think about our New Years resolutions and make our commitment to be, do and/or have more in the coming year than we did in the past.
And when we "do that"...when we make that commitment, we really mean it too. But more often than not something happens along the way. The end result is our once strongly held conviction fizzles out and what we set out to be, do or have doesn't become real and tangible as we hoped it would.
It's not uncommon which is sad in a sense. So I thought I'd share a way to make whatever heartfelt hopes, dreams, desires and aspirations that you might have, not only real and tangible but quite pleasant and maybe even effortless as you move toward doing so.
I hope you won't downplay the simplicity.
I "know" this can assist you in Being, Doing and Having more in 2011 and beyond. Maybe even Far More than you've ever dared to be, do and have in the past.
But what I know isn't important as it pertains to you nor will it determine whether you will or won't make your most sought after hopes, dreams an desires a reality.
But what I can do is share a way that I know from personal experience never fails, never wavers and never misses. And it's a way of "doing things" that creates "seemingly miraculous" results.
Check out how to initiate The Power of Being if you're ready for and serious about being, doing and having more for yourself.

The 7 Hidden Keys To Conscious Creation
You know it's amazing to me in an almost sad kind of way that more people don't recognize the fact that they already possess the ability to be, do and have whatever they choose in life.
I'm well aware of the fact that many can't see and in more case than not, don't believe that. Yet as I discovered a number of years ago, our individually chosen perceptions and beliefs don't make it "true", with the exception of those who choose to hold such perceptions and beliefs.
I wob't get into a lot of depth about that here since I cover that extensively in The 7 Hidden Keys to Conscious creation.
Everyone "thinks and believes" that they need something more than they already have to begin creating and experiencing a kind and quality of life that surpasses what is so often labeled as average.
But they don't. You don't. None of us do. The vast majority only "perceive" things that way which is the very thing that keeps them from getting anything and everything so many hope, wish and pray they could, yet never do.
The bottom line is, most take an outside in approach to life which is the polar opposite of what's necessary to experience a kind and quality of life that most everyone aspires to create yet "perceive" themselves as unable, unworthy and/or unqualified to make real.
I learned a number of years ago after walking a number of diverse paths, some of which were quite painful and terrifying, that to make heartfelt dreams, goals, passions and visions real and tangible in the simplest and quickest way possible it's necessary to develop the understand of how important an "inside out approach" to life is.
But most don't. They simply don't "get it" nor understand that choosing this inside out approach awakens them to and enables them to tap into, utilize and discover where their "true power" is found.
Yet many will never discover that simply because they never make the choice to do so.
So many, due to what they "see" going on out there, overlook the fact that we've ALL been provided the tools, the ability as well as an inalienable right of "free will" to choose our own paths in life whether they be desirable or "far less than desired."
But the fact of the matter is...what I often refer to as the "Higher Truth", we have anything and everything we could possibly need already to create or if you prefer co-create "Whatsoever we desire" as timeless wisdom so clearly states.
But it's not limited to timeless wisdom and the ancient texts.
With the immense progress modern day science has made and the incredibly enhanced and elevated understanding 21st century scientists have acquired, due to enormous technological advances in recent years, it's not at all surprising that what "used to be" perceived as mystical and esoteric teachings that have been shared, taught and conveyed for thousands and thousands of years by the mystics, sages and masters since antiquity, science is just now discovering and documenting just how "real, true, powerful and profoundly simple" those teachings are.
Admittedly, for a number of years I was quite "oblivious" to that fact myself until I made a "conscious choice" to discover it for myself.
It took a number of years, walking down a diverse number of paths before I finally decided enough's enough and I became serious about creating change. I suppose, to utilize the old cliche...I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. At that point I began making different choices than I had previously.
At one point I truly believed that my life....the events conditions and circumstances experienced in my life were determined and defined by what was going on in the world around me. But years later I would discover just how "untrue and self limiting" that choice was.
I'm finding that to be true with a rapidly expanding number of people today. With everything going on the world, the constant change, rising corruption, corporate dominance in political policy and decisions, the "perceived chaos" in the world's financial arena, etc. etc. etc., a lot of people are finding themselves against the wall.
Well...they "perceive themselves" that way at least. Yet it's only a "perception" and one that will keep them stuck there unless and until they choose otherwise.
Because the fact of the matter is, we're not stuck...or at least we don't have to be unless we choose that for ourselves. Yet it's those very choices...what we choose for ourselves individually that determines the kind and quality of results that we'll experience in our lives.
A lot of people don't "get that" yet although the number that are awakening to how "real and true" that is is growing exponentially. In fact it's spreading globally at a record pace.
People from all cultures and all walks of life are finding themselves where I found myself so many years ago...sick and tired of being sick and tired...and are choosing to venture out beyond their previously held "perceptions" regarding what's possible and not possible in life and discovering as I and countless millions of others have, that life and what we choose for our lives individually is precisely what we'll experience.
And it doesn't matter what's going on "out there" in the world around us. In fact it can't impact or affect us individually in any way, shape or form whether physically, financially, relationally, emotionally or spiritually unless we ourselves choose to allow it to. And whatever we choose whether struggle, mediocrity, hardship or an extraordinary quality of life, we ALWAYS get to be right.
Yet I'm also keenly aware that many don't "see that." They're unaware of just how "true" that is due to their individually chosen "perceptions and beliefs" regarding themselves, their lives, others and on a larger scale the world at large.
And due that "blindness"...a self chosen as well as self sabotaging form of "blindness". many are "unknowingly and unconsciously" choosing to remain "stuck", limited and in a number of cases quite "fearful" due to all the "seemingly random and chaotic" events, conditions and circumstances that are unfolding in the world each and every day.
But it's only a choice. An "unconscious choice" no doubt but a choice nonetheless. But since it is nothing more or less than a choice it's something that can be changed and shifted anytime one chooses to do so.
And what's amazing and really exciting about that is the fact that if and when that choice is made and followed through on, as those who choose that can attest, creating and experiencing an extraordinary quality of life is much more simple, enjoyable and far less "effortless" than most can even fathom.
But the sad fact of the matter is that many never do make that choice to experience just how "true" it is for themselves.
Why? Simply because they haven't yet "chosen" to take the initiative to explore beyond what they currently "perceive" and claim to "know" with respect to what's real, right and true regarding their individual potential and the infinite probabilities that are equally available to all of us. And there are ZERO exceptions with the exception of what we choose as individuals.
Because life and what we experience in life always in ALL WAYS finds it's root in the choices that we make or choose not to make. Yet another often overlooked fact is that most don;t realize that NOT choosing is also a choice.
Not a very empowering or beneficial one, but a choice nonetheless.
Contrary to widely held perception and belief, that's the ONE and ONLY thing that sets the ultra wealthy apart from the poor and seemingly destitute...choices. It's the one single common denominator that sets the happy and fulfilled apart from those who "perceive" themselves as being in hopeless and inescapable circumstances that leads to such widespread depression and anxiety that so many globally experience.
Yet it's self induced and most simply don;t understand or even believe in a number of cases that they have the ability as well as the inalienable right to change things anytime they choose.
That's based on theory or speculation. That "knowing" doesn't come from philosophy or some airy fairy way of seeing and viewing life. The power and the potential behind it has been taught for thousands upon thousands of years and in the last hundred or so, has been validated and documented by some of the most brilliant scientific minds in the history of the world.
Yet many simply choose not to listen, hear and/or seek out what is so readily available and easily accessible to all of us without exception.
Again, a choice and as "unconscious" and dis-empowering a choice as it is, many still choose it and experience the tangible results and/or the lack of that always harmonizes with whatever they choose.
The real facts are there exists no such thing as disharmony, chaos, lack or limitation in the world but rather predominantly focused qualities of "consciousness" which further solidify the "beliefs and perceptions" that such misguided choices create.
Creation is always perfect, precise and unwavering. Most simply choose never to explore and discover the "real cause" behind it all which always leads back to individual choice...EVERY TIME.
As one of the Masters made very clear...
"To see things in the seed, that is genius."
Discover the wisdom and power behind that statement and you'll become enabled and empowered to experience a kind and quality of life that is often "perceived" by those who only hope, wish, pray and wait as being "reserved only for the lucky and fortunate few." It's not and never has been. It's available and attainable by you just as it is anyone else who chooses it for themselves.
I held a live, interactive conference in 2009 with participants from a round the world called The 7 Hidden Keys To Conscious Creation that explains in very simple, rational and logical detail just how real and true that is and clearly points those who are truly seeking and desiring change in their lives just how simple and profoundly transformational choosing that understanding can be.
Here's to you, your future and my sincere hope that you'll discover for yourself just how real, true and powerful what I've shared is.
If you're finding yourself fearful as so many are, if you're "perceiving yourself as being backed against the wall and unsure about what to do, if you find yourself believing that what's going on in the world around you is the determining factor as to what you can create and experience or not experience in your life, I would encourage you to explore, seek an discover the "Higher Truth" regarding you, your potential, the possibilities available to you and how the choices that you make determine just how high or low that quality of choice can take you.
If you're open and interested in learning and understanding more, check out what I share at 7HiddenKeys.com or review a recent publication I wrote addressing and answering a number of questions received from inquiries regarding The 7 Hidden Keys which will, if you're not already aware assist in elevating your understanding and level of awareness with regard your individual potential, the possibilities available to and for you as well as your inherent gifts enabling you to be, do and have whatever you choose for yourself.
Here's to positive and profound change in your life, the kind and quality of which is, always has been and always be determined by you and the choices you make.
I'm well aware of the fact that many can't see and in more case than not, don't believe that. Yet as I discovered a number of years ago, our individually chosen perceptions and beliefs don't make it "true", with the exception of those who choose to hold such perceptions and beliefs.
I wob't get into a lot of depth about that here since I cover that extensively in The 7 Hidden Keys to Conscious creation.
Everyone "thinks and believes" that they need something more than they already have to begin creating and experiencing a kind and quality of life that surpasses what is so often labeled as average.
But they don't. You don't. None of us do. The vast majority only "perceive" things that way which is the very thing that keeps them from getting anything and everything so many hope, wish and pray they could, yet never do.
The bottom line is, most take an outside in approach to life which is the polar opposite of what's necessary to experience a kind and quality of life that most everyone aspires to create yet "perceive" themselves as unable, unworthy and/or unqualified to make real.
I learned a number of years ago after walking a number of diverse paths, some of which were quite painful and terrifying, that to make heartfelt dreams, goals, passions and visions real and tangible in the simplest and quickest way possible it's necessary to develop the understand of how important an "inside out approach" to life is.
But most don't. They simply don't "get it" nor understand that choosing this inside out approach awakens them to and enables them to tap into, utilize and discover where their "true power" is found.
Yet many will never discover that simply because they never make the choice to do so.
So many, due to what they "see" going on out there, overlook the fact that we've ALL been provided the tools, the ability as well as an inalienable right of "free will" to choose our own paths in life whether they be desirable or "far less than desired."
But the fact of the matter is...what I often refer to as the "Higher Truth", we have anything and everything we could possibly need already to create or if you prefer co-create "Whatsoever we desire" as timeless wisdom so clearly states.
But it's not limited to timeless wisdom and the ancient texts.
With the immense progress modern day science has made and the incredibly enhanced and elevated understanding 21st century scientists have acquired, due to enormous technological advances in recent years, it's not at all surprising that what "used to be" perceived as mystical and esoteric teachings that have been shared, taught and conveyed for thousands and thousands of years by the mystics, sages and masters since antiquity, science is just now discovering and documenting just how "real, true, powerful and profoundly simple" those teachings are.

The Life Path and The Miracle of You
Today let's touch on dreams, desires, success and failure as it relates to our individual life path.
We all have hopes, dreams and desires we aspire to create and experience in life. All of us without exception.
Regardless of who we are, where we live, the level of our success or how many times we experience "perceived" failure, we all desire more of something. The more that we want individually varies, but there's no denying the fact that we each want more of something.
Some want more love...others more money...others greater or more vibrant health, a greater spiritual connection or some variation of all of these.
Some get and make what they want real and tangible with ease it seems, while others seem to struggle and fight and grind and do, do, do. And although there are times that "doing things that way" may eventually enable to get whatever it might be that they want, it was hard.
Some never go for it at all simply because they don't think they can and so they never receive what they want.
Why is that?
What differentiates between these 3 seemingly different groups? That's the 37 gazillion dollar question isn't it...Why? What determines the difference in getting with ease, getting through struggle and not getting at all? What determines the difficulty or the ease the possibility or the impossibility?
The answer is quite simple actually. Profoundly simple. Yet it doesn't always "seem" that way. But the only reason it doesn't is because we haven't ventured outside of what we know to be true to discover, apply and experience the simplicity for ourselves.
Those who get what they want with ease don't need to. Whether they're aware of how and why things come easily to them or not is immaterial. They're doing something right whether consciously or unconsciously. They are harmonized with what they desire at some level and it comes.
But what about those who struggle and work really hard to get what they want and those that don't get it simply because they don't think they can so they refuse to even try?
What if something could be done to make the outcomes easier to acquire or to assist those who "perceive" it's no use to move toward what they want rather than away from it?
Well there is something that can be done and it's quite "simple" really.
Like everything there are some layers that have to be removed to get to the core of the answer. Not because it's difficult or complex but only because we have to make our way through all the "perceived" difficulty and complexity that we believe is so necessary.
The difficulty and complexity based on the "perceptions" that we have and choose to hold individually about the getting or not getting and the having or not having of this thing or things that we want more of.
Although even that sounds and is often "perceived" as being difficult and complex it's quite "simple." Profoundly simple.
In fact, once you do that...once you choose to get through all the perceived complexity, the simplicity becomes blatantly obvious. The answer reveals itself. The "floodlights" start coming on, making what you want...whatever you want quite simple to get.
The amount of complexity and the "perceived" difficulty we have to sort through to get to the "simplicity" varies as well. That's unique to each of us. There are various factors in play that determine that level of complexity and "perceived" difficulty that we experience individually.
But really...at it's core it's nothing more or less than a choice. An individual choice. And that choice is only dependent on and determines the "paths" that we choose to walk down.
That's all life is really. Choices and Paths. We choose paths, walk down them and the scenery we "perceive" as we do determines our future choices which keeps us headed down whatever path those choices create.
So in essence we are observer/choosers.
That opens the door to many paths. An infinite number of paths and the ones we choose to walk down determine the amount of complexity, difficulty or simplicity that we'll experience individually.
And the number of paths are literally infinite in nature. There are hard paths, easy paths and paths that fall in between. There are varying career paths, family paths, relationship paths, financial paths, etc. etc.
For the sake of simplicity let's narrow this infinite number of paths down to the long and short paths.
Whatever our more might be individually, we can choose to take the long path or the short path. They both exist and which we choose determines the level of simplicity or difficulty that we encounter as we make whatever our "more" might be real as we travel from desire to desire throughout our life.
Let's start on the surface. The place where most stay focused and give all their time and attention to. Let's call it the logical and the practical path.
Those that do...those that get and fulfill their heartfelt dreams and desires do what it takes until they reach wherever it is they desire to go. They don't know what quit means. They don't know or at least refuse to acknowledge that "It's Not Possible." Not possible isn't an option for them. It's not in their vocabulary. They "keep on keepin on" until they achieve whatever it might be.
And those that don't get want they want simply quit prior to seeing whatever their more might be take form.
Does that mean that achieving our individually held goals is meant to be for some and not others? Does it mean that some get to have and others don't? Is it just the luck of the draw?
Absolutely not, although that's what many "believe." And for those who "choose" to "believe" that, it becomes true for them. They eliminate any hope or possibility of getting whatever it is or the attainment of that thing becomes possible or not possible.
But it goes beyond that. We also get to choose whether it will be easy or hard. Granted most don't see things that way. But that's based on beliefs and perceptions as well. It is hard for some...for most in fact.
Does that mean that the fulfillment of a desire, regardless of what it is has to be hard? No. They simply choose to remain blind to the fact that hard or easy becomes real based on their individually chosen "beliefs and perceptions" and whatever those are, they get to be right. It only depends on the path they choose.
Those who choose to "perceive" it as being "hard" never see or acknowledge the simplicity and as a result never discover how "simple" and "seemingly effortless" it can be. So they stay on the do, do, do path that makes it hard.
But it's a choice. An individual choice that we each have the right to make or not.
There are also people who just kind of exist in limbo. They never exercise their ability to make whatever it is they want "real" simply because they "believe and perceive" that getting it or not getting it is based on some "chance occurrence."
They "believe and perceive" that life is determined by a "roll of the dice"...that life just delivers what it will and whatever that is, we might just as well accept it. That is after all, how it is right? I mean this is reality we're talking about here!!
These are the hopers and wishers and maybe somedayers. Those are the ones that bank their success or failure on the 1 in 800,000,000 odds that they'll hit the lottery...someday..."maybe." These are the ones that are waiting for their "ship to come in."
And so they settle. They hope and wish and pray and wait and wait and wait for "someday." But someday never comes.
Regardless of what the situation and unique beliefs and perceptions that we hold as individuals are...we get to be right. Always without exception.
Depending on who you talk to...depending on the various "perceptions and beliefs" we each have as individuals and what we "think" is the reason for achieving or not achieving our individually chosen desires is what sets those who do apart from those who don't do. It's what determines whether it's hard or easy.
That's layer 1.
What underlies that?
Personal will. The level of personal will is the fuel that drives or stalls. The individual amount of personal will we each possess is what differentiates between those who have and those who don't have...those who get and those who don't get.
Personal will goes beyond "want." We all want but not everybody has a strong enough personal will to see their desires through to fruition. Getting what we want requires more than wanting. We all want yet it's no secret that we don't always get what we want.
We CAN...we just don't.
But the reason we don't is simply based on what we "believe and perceive" as being possible or not possible and our individually chosen beliefs and perceptions about the possibility or improbability of that thing or things happening for us determines the outcome.
Breaking through the "perceived" obstacles is what's necessary. Breaking down the limiting perceptions and beliefs is what reveals and enables us to discover and walk down the "short path."
In most cases that requires personal will, the amount of which depends on the individual. The personal will necessary to tie my shoe varies from that of wanting to make a million dollars this year or get that dream job or start a business or whatever it might be.
Based on what most believe and perceive, any of those can "seem" really difficult. Equally as difficult actually.
If I don't "know" how to tie my shoe it can "seem" really hard. Impossible even...that is unless I choose to learn how simple it is. But to do that I have to make a choice. A simple choice granted, but a choice nonetheless. Until I make that choice it can "seem" and will remain impossible for me to tie my shoe.
It's no different with a million dollars. If I don't know how to make a million dollars it can "seem" really hard or impossible even. That is unless and until I learn how "simple" it can be.
So want is really nothing more than desire. How badly do we "desire" to see our more, whatever it might be, become real and tangible? How much "personal will" is it going to take to get whatever it is?
That's a question that only you can determine for yourself.
How hard or easy is getting that thing? That's a choice as well. We can attempt to do it the way most do which is in essence choosing the "long path" or we can step outside the box a bit and discover the "short path." They both exist. They're both easily accessible. Whichever we choose is the one we get to walk.
The long path is crowded I can assure you. I've walked it. It's the long, hard, populated path.
It's not difficult. It's not complex. It's not impossible. It just is whatever we choose. We can make our more real or we can believe and perceive that we can't. We can make it hard or we can make it simple. We can take the long path or we can take the short path.
There is no "wrong" path in the bigger scheme of things. Just paths.
The short path requires nothing more or less than making a choice to understand how simple it can be. When we discover that and can clearly see just how "simple" it is, the path reveals itself. The "tangible outcome" reveals itself in far more "simple" ways than we previously imagined it could.
I've personally walked the long and the short path. I went down the long path believing that it was the only path that existed. And as long as I believed it, that's the "path" I walked until I chose to step outside of my own self limiting "beliefs and perceptions" to discover there was a different path.
But until I believed it I couldn't find it. I was blinded to it although it was there all along. I just couldn't see it because I chose not to. I refused to accept the fact that it existed and so it didn't. Not for me that is...until I chose something different.
It was there, I just didn't "choose" it.
I recently wrote and released a book that shows how "simple" it can be. It reveals the "short path." It's quite logical and practical. It's extremely simple.
What's even better is it's free.
It's called 'The Miracle of You and Your Cells.' It clearly shows why things can "seem" to be so complex as well as what makes them simple.
Should you choose to read it, I'm quite confident you'll discover how simple getting what you want is.
It will assist you in eliminating the "perceived" difficulty and complexity, introduce you to the short path and enable you to get whatever your more might be.
Should you "choose" to, you can get it here.
We all have hopes, dreams and desires we aspire to create and experience in life. All of us without exception.
Regardless of who we are, where we live, the level of our success or how many times we experience "perceived" failure, we all desire more of something. The more that we want individually varies, but there's no denying the fact that we each want more of something.
Some want more love...others more money...others greater or more vibrant health, a greater spiritual connection or some variation of all of these.
Some get and make what they want real and tangible with ease it seems, while others seem to struggle and fight and grind and do, do, do. And although there are times that "doing things that way" may eventually enable to get whatever it might be that they want, it was hard.
Some never go for it at all simply because they don't think they can and so they never receive what they want.
Why is that?

That opens the door to many paths. An infinite number of paths and the ones we choose to walk down determine the amount of complexity, difficulty or simplicity that we'll experience individually.
And the number of paths are literally infinite in nature. There are hard paths, easy paths and paths that fall in between. There are varying career paths, family paths, relationship paths, financial paths, etc. etc.
For the sake of simplicity let's narrow this infinite number of paths down to the long and short paths.
Whatever our more might be individually, we can choose to take the long path or the short path. They both exist and which we choose determines the level of simplicity or difficulty that we encounter as we make whatever our "more" might be real as we travel from desire to desire throughout our life.
Let's start on the surface. The place where most stay focused and give all their time and attention to. Let's call it the logical and the practical path.
Those that do...those that get and fulfill their heartfelt dreams and desires do what it takes until they reach wherever it is they desire to go. They don't know what quit means. They don't know or at least refuse to acknowledge that "It's Not Possible." Not possible isn't an option for them. It's not in their vocabulary. They "keep on keepin on" until they achieve whatever it might be.
And those that don't get want they want simply quit prior to seeing whatever their more might be take form.
Does that mean that achieving our individually held goals is meant to be for some and not others? Does it mean that some get to have and others don't? Is it just the luck of the draw?
Absolutely not, although that's what many "believe." And for those who "choose" to "believe" that, it becomes true for them. They eliminate any hope or possibility of getting whatever it is or the attainment of that thing becomes possible or not possible.
But it goes beyond that. We also get to choose whether it will be easy or hard. Granted most don't see things that way. But that's based on beliefs and perceptions as well. It is hard for some...for most in fact.
Does that mean that the fulfillment of a desire, regardless of what it is has to be hard? No. They simply choose to remain blind to the fact that hard or easy becomes real based on their individually chosen "beliefs and perceptions" and whatever those are, they get to be right. It only depends on the path they choose.
Those who choose to "perceive" it as being "hard" never see or acknowledge the simplicity and as a result never discover how "simple" and "seemingly effortless" it can be. So they stay on the do, do, do path that makes it hard.
But it's a choice. An individual choice that we each have the right to make or not.
There are also people who just kind of exist in limbo. They never exercise their ability to make whatever it is they want "real" simply because they "believe and perceive" that getting it or not getting it is based on some "chance occurrence."
They "believe and perceive" that life is determined by a "roll of the dice"...that life just delivers what it will and whatever that is, we might just as well accept it. That is after all, how it is right? I mean this is reality we're talking about here!!
These are the hopers and wishers and maybe somedayers. Those are the ones that bank their success or failure on the 1 in 800,000,000 odds that they'll hit the lottery...someday..."maybe." These are the ones that are waiting for their "ship to come in."
And so they settle. They hope and wish and pray and wait and wait and wait for "someday." But someday never comes.
Regardless of what the situation and unique beliefs and perceptions that we hold as individuals are...we get to be right. Always without exception.
Depending on who you talk to...depending on the various "perceptions and beliefs" we each have as individuals and what we "think" is the reason for achieving or not achieving our individually chosen desires is what sets those who do apart from those who don't do. It's what determines whether it's hard or easy.
That's layer 1.
What underlies that?
Personal will. The level of personal will is the fuel that drives or stalls. The individual amount of personal will we each possess is what differentiates between those who have and those who don't have...those who get and those who don't get.
Personal will goes beyond "want." We all want but not everybody has a strong enough personal will to see their desires through to fruition. Getting what we want requires more than wanting. We all want yet it's no secret that we don't always get what we want.
We CAN...we just don't.
But the reason we don't is simply based on what we "believe and perceive" as being possible or not possible and our individually chosen beliefs and perceptions about the possibility or improbability of that thing or things happening for us determines the outcome.
Breaking through the "perceived" obstacles is what's necessary. Breaking down the limiting perceptions and beliefs is what reveals and enables us to discover and walk down the "short path."
In most cases that requires personal will, the amount of which depends on the individual. The personal will necessary to tie my shoe varies from that of wanting to make a million dollars this year or get that dream job or start a business or whatever it might be.
Based on what most believe and perceive, any of those can "seem" really difficult. Equally as difficult actually.
If I don't "know" how to tie my shoe it can "seem" really hard. Impossible even...that is unless I choose to learn how simple it is. But to do that I have to make a choice. A simple choice granted, but a choice nonetheless. Until I make that choice it can "seem" and will remain impossible for me to tie my shoe.
It's no different with a million dollars. If I don't know how to make a million dollars it can "seem" really hard or impossible even. That is unless and until I learn how "simple" it can be.
So want is really nothing more than desire. How badly do we "desire" to see our more, whatever it might be, become real and tangible? How much "personal will" is it going to take to get whatever it is?
That's a question that only you can determine for yourself.
How hard or easy is getting that thing? That's a choice as well. We can attempt to do it the way most do which is in essence choosing the "long path" or we can step outside the box a bit and discover the "short path." They both exist. They're both easily accessible. Whichever we choose is the one we get to walk.
The long path is crowded I can assure you. I've walked it. It's the long, hard, populated path.
It's not difficult. It's not complex. It's not impossible. It just is whatever we choose. We can make our more real or we can believe and perceive that we can't. We can make it hard or we can make it simple. We can take the long path or we can take the short path.
There is no "wrong" path in the bigger scheme of things. Just paths.
The short path requires nothing more or less than making a choice to understand how simple it can be. When we discover that and can clearly see just how "simple" it is, the path reveals itself. The "tangible outcome" reveals itself in far more "simple" ways than we previously imagined it could.
I've personally walked the long and the short path. I went down the long path believing that it was the only path that existed. And as long as I believed it, that's the "path" I walked until I chose to step outside of my own self limiting "beliefs and perceptions" to discover there was a different path.
But until I believed it I couldn't find it. I was blinded to it although it was there all along. I just couldn't see it because I chose not to. I refused to accept the fact that it existed and so it didn't. Not for me that is...until I chose something different.
It was there, I just didn't "choose" it.
I recently wrote and released a book that shows how "simple" it can be. It reveals the "short path." It's quite logical and practical. It's extremely simple.
What's even better is it's free.
It's called 'The Miracle of You and Your Cells.' It clearly shows why things can "seem" to be so complex as well as what makes them simple.
Should you choose to read it, I'm quite confident you'll discover how simple getting what you want is.
It will assist you in eliminating the "perceived" difficulty and complexity, introduce you to the short path and enable you to get whatever your more might be.
Should you "choose" to, you can get it here.

A High Level of Positive Self Esteem Is Vital To Getting What You Want
I connect and work with a diverse group of people around the world who have a sincere desire to be, do and have more in life.
That's not an uncommon thing. The desire to have more. In fact we ALL have the desire for more of something without question. Our individually held desires for what more we want individually no doubt varies, but our desire for experiencing more, whatever it might be for us individually is ingrained in each of us.
You could say it's a very real part of who we are. It's our nature. I suppose you could say it's a universal thing.
Point being...wanting more, regardless of who we are or where we live isn't an uncommon thing.
But getting whatever more we might want is quite uncommon.
But the only reason it is uncommon is because the vast majority overlook and never fully come to the place that they understand the fact that to get it requires "believing" that we can have it. That's where so many people get stuck. They just settle for the fact that they don't have it, can't get it and that they might just as well accept it.
And while accepting what life delivers is important...vitally important...most accept unnecessarily. They accept "not having" because they "believe" they have to.
As a result of this "choice" as "unconscious" as it might be they never make the choice or take the initiative to begin "consciously choosing" to adopt the necessary "belief" to get whatever their more might be.
And that's the most vital part of getting whatever it might be that we want. In fact, that's the ONLY reason that people get or don't get "more" of whatever it might be that they want.
And it doesn't matter which area of life it is. It all boils down to the very same reason. It's another one of those "universal things." We get or don't get based on what we "believe" we can have or not have regardless of what it is.
Some want more love, others more money and still others greater and more vibrant health. But as much as they want it...as much as they "consciously desire" to get this thing, they "unconsciously sabotage" the possibility for it to show up.
They end up as the vast majority does, not getting it simply because they don't "believe" they can have it so they end up settling.
What so many "choose" to overlook is that their "belief" harmonizes with what they get 100% of the time.
It NEVER fails. It can't fail in fact. It's the immutable and unwavering design of the process.
It really doesn't matter if the individual desire is physical, financial, relational, emotional or spiritual in nature. That's the only thing that differentiates each of us and makes us unique.
And it also doesn't matter the size and scope of the thing desired. Because, whether you choose to believe or not believe that can you can have it, you get to be right.
Your belief supports the fact and the facts remain unchanged as long as you believe they will. You get to keep seeing the same thing over and over and over again. And that "seeing"...the results that we "see and experience" in tangible form as a result, solidifies our belief as to how "right" we are.
To see something different only requires that the cause creating it, be changed. Put another way to experience something else, it's only necessary to break the cycle that is feeding the process that creates the cycles that so many often "perceive" themselves as being unable to break, providing whatever we're experiencing and "settling for."
And the "BIGGEST" reason...at least that's what most call it...is due to a "lack of self esteem." They don't realize how powerfully creative...or if you prefer co-creative they are. They "overlook" and remain oblivious to the fact that it's what they believe regarding themselves, their lives and their ability to have or not have this "thing", which "allows" them to have or keeps them from having it.
I could go on and on, but since this is a "blog post" and not a book I'll leave it at that for now.
If you'd like to explore why what I've shared is "true", you might find benefit in what I've spent a number of years creating, sharing and writing about at abundance-and-happiness.com.
The Power of Positive Self Esteem specifically will provide more depth as to why I believe what I've shared here is "true."
Stay tuned, I've got much more to share and I hope you find benefit.

Unconditional Love, The Law of Attraction and You
I've discovered over the past few years since The Secret introduced what's currently being called the law of attraction that few make the connection between Unconditional Love, The Law of Attraction and just as importantly how we each fit into the bigger scheme of things.
As true as that is, the willingness to make that connection, if you haven't already, could mean the difference between mediocrity and greatness.
As great as The Secret production was, what could be accurately conveyed in a 90 minute production obviously left much more to know and understand.
Although attempting to write about it at the depth necessary in a blog post wouldn't provide the clarity necessary, I recently distilled it into the shortest yet most comprehensive format that I possibly can with the hope that you might benefit from what is shared as many have.
You can access 'Unconditional Love, The Law of Attraction and You' here.
Perhaps it will fill in many of the blanks that the Secret was unable to.

Simplifying The Law of Attraction, Energy and Frequency
The Law of Attraction isn't as complicated, complex or mystical as you might think when you "Really Get" and understand energy and frequency. now you will.
Are you ready to take all the mystery and confusion out of energy, frequency and the Law of Attraction?
Since The Law of Attraction has become so well known around the world in recent years, it’s not uncommon that the initial excitement and anticipation experienced by those when first discovering it, more often than not fades into disappointment and in some cases disbelief regarding it’s “realness” and power.
It’s a fact that a lack of deeper understanding regarding what makes the Law of Attraction work as it does causes many to fall back into their same old habitual patterns never fully benefiting from or understanding just how real, true and powerful the Law of Attraction is and the impact it makes on their day to day lives.
That’s the reason for this article…to clarify and clear up any misconceptions and ultimately to assist you in both understanding and using the Law of Attraction “consciously” and consistently enabling you to experience more of the desired outcomes in your life.
First of all I think it’s important to understand that the Law of Attraction isn’t anything new. It’s existed since time itself began and was only recently given a “new label.”
The sages, mystics and masters since antiquity have taught countless numbers about the Law of Attraction's realness and power but referred to it as something else. One of those names that a number of these teachers referred to was reaping and sowing.
But the Law of Attraction, as many names as it's been labeled with, goes well beyond spiritual teachings. Today we have tangible and physical proof regarding it's existence and the essential role it plays in your life.
In fact even science discovered, has known about and even documented what’s now being referred to as the Law of Attraction nearly a hundred years ago!! Most mainstream scientists, just as the masters of the past, just don’t refer to it as The Law of Attraction.
For the sake of simplification, let’s focus specifically on the science behind the Law of Attraction as well as what scientists have discovered regarding energy and frequency which is the essence that allows the Law of Attraction to work or exist at all.
Although science discovered many years ago that everything in existence is comprised of energy and all energy exists as and emits a frequency, there are far too few who understand at the depth necessary, that they can use what science has validated in a way that will dramatically enhance the quality of their life.
What even fewer understand is the fact that they ARE using the Law of Attraction already, every second of everyday whether they’re aware of it or “believe” in it’s existence or not.
In fact the Law of Attraction determines how each and every event, condition and circumstance in your life comes to be in each and it does so in each and every aspect of your life.
So, because of it’s importance and the tremendous impact it has on your individual outcomes, let’s simplify this energy and frequency thing so you can begin “consciously and consistently” using it to your advantage and begin experiencing more of the results that you desire in the physical, financial, relational, emotional and spiritual areas of your life.
I promise…it’s REALLY simple...

Reclaiming Your "True Power"
The more people I connect and communicate with from around the world, the more I discover that far too few really understand or recognize the limitless power that they have been provided individually to create a quality of life that is limited only by their individual choices.
Although most do understand that it is their choices regarding the physical actions they take that determine their "physical results", for the most part they overlook what determines how and why all these physical actions can be taken which determine the kind and quality of physical events, conditions and circumstances that are experienced in in the various areas of life.
I guess you could say that they overlook and are predominantly unaware of where their "true power" comes from.
They look at and see life from a strictly "physical" perspective. They assume that power comes from physical activity and choose not to look beyond the things that we can see and touch and taste and feel and smell.
Yet that's not "Real Power" at all. It's a very limited form of physical finite power.
Moreover they see power strictly as a physical thing. They perceive that it's their physical power that they are limited by. I guess you could call it their physical forms of doingness that they believe determines their results which in turn determines their havingness.
That's only a very small part of a much larger picture.
Although it's true that the physical actions we take do produce results...physical results, it's a very limited way to produce the really big results that so many desire yet so few ever achieve.
That's why so few ever achieve them.
They overlook, remain unaware and as a result never fully utilize their "True Power."
Everyone uses this true power in a sense but at the same time the vast majority utilize it "unconsciously" never realizing, fully discovering and due to their "unconsciousness" never discover how to utilize this form of real power that we all possess and all have equal access to.
They're unaware for the most part of where their "true power" lies. Choosing...or in this case NOT choosing to become aware of this power dramatically limits their results in life. In EVERY area of life.
Why? Because their fixated and depending on such a limited form of power.
The body is limited in what it can do. Physical choices and actions is a level of cause for sure, but it's not the ultimate cause.
There's something deeper going on below the radar that our 5 physical senses can't detect.
Where your "true power" lies isn't here in physical form. You can tap into this power for sure, but it's not a physical activity form of doing. It's a doing that is done with the mind. It's not strenuous or difficult at all. In fact it's what many would refer to as effortless.
That's where whoever coined the phrase "Effortless Creation" was coming from. When you discover and learn to tap into your "True Power" things do come much easier...life becomes much more fulfilling...things seem to come to you rather than you chasing them.
It's an incredibly fulfilling way to experience life. It sure beats the "grin and bear it" mentality.
But to access it and fully utilize requires developing a bit deeper understanding. I like to call it "awakening."
It's not a form of understanding that you get from traditional text books.
It's a deeper form of understanding that transcends the limitations of the physical altogether. But at the same time it's this form of understanding that everyone has access to and the ability to utilize whenever they make the choice to do so.
It's a smart choice I can assure you since it is where your true power lies. A form of power that far exceeds what most have the ability to conceive.
I posted an article recently at the Abundance-and-Happiness.com personal empowerment portal called Be Still and Reclaim Your Power that will provide some more depth as well as provide specific direction enabling you to tap into and exercise this power for yourself should you choose to.
I can say from personal experience and trying it both ways that it's a MUCH more simple and far easier way to create desired outcomes in life than limiting yourself to what physical action alone can produce.
In fact, should you decide to become aware of it and utilize it for yourself, I can without hesitation tell you that your results will be far greater than you may have previously been able to even conceive.
Trust me when I tell you...that's the only thing keeping you from reaching whatever heights you choose for yourself. It all begins at the point of conceptualization.
I hope you'll check it out. It could prove to be the "missing link" that you're looking for and I can tell you from personal experience it will enhance your results in every aspect of your life exponentially.
In fact I know it will. It's simply a matter of you making the choice to know it for yourself and do what's necessary which will all be revealed to you by simply taking that first step.
It's way beyond powerful, believe me.
Although most do understand that it is their choices regarding the physical actions they take that determine their "physical results", for the most part they overlook what determines how and why all these physical actions can be taken which determine the kind and quality of physical events, conditions and circumstances that are experienced in in the various areas of life.

In fact I know it will. It's simply a matter of you making the choice to know it for yourself and do what's necessary which will all be revealed to you by simply taking that first step.
It's way beyond powerful, believe me.

The Science of Success and Real Wealth Creation
In my many years of working with various individuals around the world and the many paths I've walked during my own journey through life, I've had the opportunity to explore a number of paths.
That's what I've discovered and believe life is about and why each of us have been placed here. To learn, to grow, o fully experience life and as a result of all this learning, growing, and experiencing, ultimately to share what we've learned with others so they might benefit from our own "growth lessons" along the way.
To assist others in maybe shortening their own paths enabling them to experience greater results...more of the "desired" results with far fewer steps and growth lessons along the way.
That's what I've chosen to dedicate my life to. Assist others in creating a greater quality of life for themselves through sharing and teaching what I've discovered through all my "path walking."
As I often share through my personal empowerment portal, Abundance-and-Happiness.com, there are no wrong paths, only paths that we ourselves choose. Depending on those paths that we choose, and the experiences we have as a result of those choices we're provided an opportunity to learn and grow from our experiences or not.
That too is nothing more than a choice. It's up to us...ALWAYS.
One of the many paths that I've personally chosen and share freely with the world is the The Science of Success...or to put it more accurately the science behind success.
Many aren't aware that there is such a path. They see science as something complicated and non-applicable to our individual lives or the events, conditions and circumstances that we each experience as a result.
I suppose that's true to an extent depending on the kind of science it is.
There's one kind of science, namely Quantum Physics and even recent discoveries in biological science that makes it clearly evident that this widely held "perception" is merely that...a "perception" and a very limited one at that.
Whether you currently understand or believe it or not there is an exact science behind success and quantum physics is one that illuminates the path to achieving just that. A choice to explore this science opens up doors of understanding that are "profound" to say the least.
It's simply a matter of choice. Expanding awareness with regard to the underlying aspects of life and how all this physical stuff becomes "real" is a choice that can prove to enhance your individual life in far greater ways than you might currently understand or even "conceive" as possible.
When you enhance your awareness with regard to what modern day science has discovered to be "true" concerning your individual ability to be, do and have a kind and quality of life based only on our own individual choices, you begin to understand the power you hold individually to create whatever changes in your life that you have a sincere desire to change.
There are no limitations as to what can be achieved through this choice, whether it be in the physical, financial, relational, emotional and/or spiritual aspects of your life...absolutely NONE.
You also begin to discover that these choices as well as the physical actions that we take as a result of them provide very limited outcomes at best and often times produce the exact opposite result of what we are "truly" attempting and desiring to accomplish.
The Science of Success goes much deeper than simple cause and effect that most perceive to be only physical in nature. Although cause and effect is real and it does produce results, it's operation is also existent at a deeper level...at an unseen level that most are unaware of and "unconscious" to. That's why the vast majority experience such limited outcomes. They choose to overlook the very things that would enable them to both create and experience FAR GREATER outcomes than they "perceive" to be possible for themselves.
But they're not. It's only our perceptions and believes regarding their creation...or the lack of that leads to additional choices to not explore and understand the underlying process that enables us to understand and as a result create and experience them for ourselves.
When you choose to explore and discover the science behind what's going on at the "unseen" or "subatomic level" that is making all these "physical outcomes" real, yuo alo develop both the understanding as well as the ability to change them consistently and intentionally.
It's proven to be a life transforming choice for me and it can be for you as well, should you choose it as a path that you walk down.
It's not the only path for sure, yet it's one that provides "tangible" proof enabling you to become aware and understand how and why you do have the ability to be, do and have whatever you choose in life.
If that's a path you choose for yourself and you'd like to explore and understand the potential behind it more deeply, check out a section I've created at Abundance-and-Happiness.com called The Science of Success.
It could prove to be the missing link for you as it has for so many others and bridge the gap between less than desired results and the physical, financial, relational, emotional and spiritual harmony that so many are looking for yet few "perceive" or believe" is available to and for them.
I can tell you from personal experience that it is. It's simply an individual choice as to whether you choose it for yourself or not. It could prove to be a choice that makes ALL the difference.

Experiencing "Real Wealth" Isn't All About Experiencing Only What We "Perceive" As Being Good
In today's world and all the goings on in the financial markets, the housing crash and all the "perceived" chaos and turmoil that follows it, there's an aspect of life that I think all too often get's overlooked and for a number of reasons. This aspect isn't acknowledged enough by the vast majority in the personal empowerment community.
As overlooked as it is and as hush hush as many of the personal empowerment writers and teachers like...or at least choose to keep it, I personally think it's important to acknowledge it.
It's called polarity.
I don't mean to acknowledge it in a "focus on it" kind of way but rather acknowledge it's realness to enhance peoples awareness with regard to it's existence.
As I always write and teach, there's no question that harmony in life is not only possible but very doable. Yet at the same time harmony requires looking at harmony in every aspect not just the kind of harmony that's predominantly taught and wrote about with regard to getting everything we want.
We can get all these things for sure, yet at the same time as we're working toward all this "getting", it's important to recognize and understand as we're walking down this exciting path, that things just might and DO happen, that may throw us a curve ball from time to time.
Yes harmony does include harmonizing the physical, financial, relational, emotional and spiritual aspects of life to experience the fulfillment that everybody desires, but there's another aspect of harmony that I believe many miss. It has to do with polarity.
For harmony to exist...for us to know what harmony is and be able to fully experience it, there must also exist disharmony. Without the existence of the polar opposite we couldn't and wouldn't know or be able to experience what either was.
Think about it...that's what life is designed for...to fully experience all that is available to and for us.
Without the possibility for "bad" to exist, we certainly couldn't know or fully experience what good was.
I personally think and through experience find, that always talking about and teaching only about all the warm and fuzzy stuff...only addressing how The Law of Attraction brings you whatever you want, without also talking about and addressing that it can also bring events, conditions and circumstances into the world that we DON'T want, when these "unwanted things" happen (and they will) it can prove to be very disillusioning to those who look at and only see it as a one sided thing.
I believe it's the very reason that so many who, when first discovering that there truly is such a law, they excitedly engage themselves in their best attempts to apply it without fully understanding what it is and how it works. Then when the 500 Mercedes SL doesn't show up in there driveway one morning after all their visualizing and dream board construction, make the unfortunate choice of believing that this stuff is a bunch of nonsense and doesn't work.
Rather than digging a bit deeper to see for themselves that it IS real and DOES work...or more importantly how and why it works as it does, they go back to the same habitual patterns and rejoin the masses of "unconscious creators" fully thinking and believing that life just happens as it will and it's simply a game of chance.
But the fact of the matter is, polarity is a "reality." Without polarity, the world couldn't and wouldn't exist.
Polarity is where the world's power comes from. Take a battery for example. For it to have any power to drive a battery operated mechanism, it must have a "positive pole" and a "negative pole." One without the other and there's no power.
You have to harmonize the 2 to create the power. Technology has enabled us to do that.
But it's the same in life. Without both the positive and the negative, the world couldn't and wouldn't be the world.
So, not only is polarity a reality, it's necessary.
Those who might be fairly new or not well versed in the various Universal Laws (what are also referred to as laws of nature) might not have this outlook. They might not see the importance of the possibility of not getting what they want. They want what they want and that's that.
What's more...they want it now.
That's all fine and good and yes I also know from personal experience that you can have what you want and get it very quickly...even immediately in some cases. But at the same time without being willing to develop a depth of understand and awareness as to how things work at a deep level as well as choosing to become and remain aware of how "real" polarity in our "physical world", things can, will and do happen that keep us from attracting, acquiring and experiencing all these things we want.
Awareness is the key behind it all. Both self awareness and an awareness of what's happening in the world around you.
Choosing to do that will get you much more of what you want and assist you greatly in bypassing some of the "unnecessary" and unwanted polarity's along the way.
I've addressed this in depth in my recent newsletter, Enlightened Journey.
If you'd like to explore this polarity thing in depth and see how it can and does affect us in the "physical world" as well as provides the understanding of what we can do individually to minimize the effects of the "unwanted" polarities in our lives you might find it beneficial.

How Can Going After The Prize Lead to Remorse and Regret? It's Easier Than You Might Think.
If you could change one thing in your life; I mean anything right here, right now what would you change?
Although I can't know what your answer might be or what drew you here specifically, one thing I do know to be true about you, me and everyone else, is that we each have a desire to be, do and have more in life.
Now I'm not a gambling man and never have been. But I'd be willing to bet a thousand dollars (Heck, let's go for a hundred thousand) that you do too right? You have a desire to be, do and/or have more of something in life?
Of course you do. We ALL do. We ALL want something more and we're all going after that prize, whatever it might be regardless of what that means to us individually.
Well, fasten your seat belt because I'm going to reveal how you can not only get more, but more of what you "truly desire."
And yes, in most cases there is a huge difference between what so many "think they want" and what they "truly desire" more of.
Because for some, going after the prize in the way I'm referring to it, means nothing more than basic survival and getting by.
That can be difficult to look at and see as a "prize."
But it is in a sense.
And it is because it doesn't matter where you are currently. It could be a lot worse right? I mean let's face it if you're broke, is there something worse than that?
Absolutely. You could be diagnosed with a serious life threatening illness. Which would you pick? The point is there are many things in life that are worse than being broke.
So even if you're in survival mode and just getting by and the more you want is a hundred bucks to get you through the week or the end of the month, that's still your prize.
Let's shift to the other end of the prize spectrum.
For others going after the prize might mean really big achievements of one form or another. For some fame, others fortune and still others something else. It doesn't matter what going after the prize means for you really, we're ALL going after some prize...regardless.
Ultimately though, our desired prize; the real prize that we "truly desire" as unique, individual and varying as they might "seem" on the surface, really boils down to one thing. Although the labels are many, that one thing is that we all want to experience at various levels, what's often labeled as Prosperity.
Does that hold true for you? If you thought you could have prosperity would you want it? Would you take it? Would you go for it if you knew you could have it?
What do you "think" prosperity is? What is your personal definition? Have you ever thought about it? I mean REALLY thought about it.
We all have our individual perspectives regarding what prosperity is and isn't for sure. But many haven't ever really thought about it so they don't REALLY know what their definition of prosperity is.
My personal perspective regarding prosperity has shifted; or at the least been greatly enhanced over the years. But not before walking some paths that revealed what prosperity WASN'T even though I "thought it was." I had an idea and knew what what I wanted more of, but after I got it I found that it wasn't prosperity.
I often look back on and think deeply about that initial perspective I held back then. In reflecting back, my initial definition of Prosperity was acquiring and amassing material wealth. And I was pretty good at it too. Really good actually. I reached what many today believe to be and would label as the pinnacle of success.
Bottom line, I made A LOT of money. Got a lot of toys, traveled, did this, did that, yadda yadda yadda.
But what I discovered after getting there, is that it didn't provide what I "thought and believed" that it would. I made a lot of money, got some stuff and even got to do a lot of traveling but I still didn't feel very prosperous and I certainly wasn't happy.
Not a long term from of happiness.
And yes, I set my sights on my perception of prosperity, focused on getting it, set out to claim it and actually received what I had defined and thought was "my prize." But once I got it, I found that something was still missing.
You could say, that although I made a lot of money and acquired a lot of stuff, prosperity and long term happiness still eluded me.
And what I discovered, although very simple, at the same time it's quite profound, potentially transformational and may very well assist you to get clear on what prosperity really is, define, get focused on and achieve real prosperity and long term happiness far quicker and in a far more simple way than I and many like me have.
How so?
Well...I've since discovered that my perception and the choices I made based on those perceptions to reach what I thought at the time would enable me to FINALLY experience happiness and prosperity, were very "blind and short sighted choices."
Although those choices did lead to making a lot of money and getting some "stuff", they didn't actually lead me to or provide what I thought they would.
I've also since found that A LOT of people do the very same thing. Many of the people who I personally connect and communicate with today, have experienced and have come to the very same conclusion. I'm far from alone in that discovery.
You could say we made "blind choices" based on a limited perspective as we engaged and we're going after and doing our best to make our individual prize real.
We "thought and honestly believed" that what we chose to do and actually did would provide it, but then we found that it didn't.
I suppose the simplest and most succinct way to describe it would be to say that our perspectives and our beliefs were misaligned or disharmonious with achieving what we "truly desired" without realizing it at the time.
So, I'm going to ask you...
Are you where you want to be in life? I mean are you really and truly at the place in life where you "truly desire" to be?
More specifically, are you experiencing prosperity and happiness in every area of your life?
And if you're not, are you open and willing to admit at this point that the choices you have made, are making and will make can be improved upon and enhanced so you can experience that?
That's what we're going to be discussing here.
Maybe what I have to share can assist you in getting really clear on, defining, going after and making your "prosperity choices" in a way that is more aligned and harmonious with what you "truly desire."
Rather than doing what I and many like me have done because we "thought and believed" we knew what prosperity was only to discover many years later that it wasn't "really and truly" what we thought it was at all, I'm going to introduce you to and point you toward what I've found to be the "short path."
You with me here? Does that make sense?
I'm definitely not here to tell you what prosperity should or shouldn't be for you. Nor am I here to define what happiness is, isn't or should be for you. What I am here to do is assist you in bypassing what I call the "long path" and point you to the shortest path I'm aware of for achieving Real Prosperity.
Then if it makes sense to you and it feels right you can begin walking that path if you choose to.
Are we on the same page?
I suppose the "main thing" I hope to do is to assist you in getting what you really and truly want in the quickest way possible. At the same time, maybe what I share will enable you to eliminate any potential future regrets that I've found so many unknowingly and unwittingly choose as they navigate toward the individual prize that they "think they want" only to find that it didn't lead to or provide what we ALL without exception "truly desire."
Now you might be thinking that what you want and what you truly desire are one and the same thing. That's what I used to think, but it's not. In MOST cases it's not.
How so?
Because, unbeknownst to many, there are 2 ways to look at happiness and prosperity. One way is to move toward it based on what you think you know and the other is a much bigger picture view of what happiness prosperity really is.
What it REALLY and truly is.
So what does the big picture view of this happiness and prosperity picture look like?
Quite simply, in this bigger picture view, happiness and prosperity (The Real Prize that we're ALL attempting to get) entails achieving physical, financial, relational, emotional and spiritual harmony.
That's REAL prosperity. That's also what enables and allows Real Happiness to not only become but remain a way of life long term.
Do you see that? And if you do, are you ready for some of that? Are you ready to actually experience it?
If so, stay with me, follow along, remain attentive and I'll do my best to point you in the direction where I know you can find it.
Fair?
First of all, it's a very common thing in our busy and hectic world for people who have big hopes, dreams and visions for their life (or even those who consistently struggle just to make ends meet) to sometimes get so caught up in "trying so hard" to create success or simply survive, that they often lose sight of and forget how to live.
Really live I mean.
All guilty parties please raise your hand.
I'll be the first to step up and raise my own hand because, as I've shared, I've been there and done that personally. But since we're connecting and communicating through text and I don't know how to make a "text" hand I'll do the next best thing and just type…ME.
Now that I've stepped up, I'll ask you the same. Do you find yourself always busy doing this and busy doing that, thinking about doing this thing, that thing or this other thing and find yourself with little or no time to enjoy and savor life?
Or are you always thinking about, talking about and perhaps even stressing, anxious and maybe even freaking out about what you don't have and think you need rather than slowing down, tuning in and being grateful for what you DO already have?
And if so do you find that you never get any further and barely ever get past beating yourself up and maybe to some degree consistently find that you're worrying about what tomorrow holds?
Hey, if so you are definitely NOT alone. But that's precisely what creates what I like to call "life blindness" and has life passing so many by without them ever getting what they want and without ever realizing that life is passing them by.
But it is and it does. And once they discover it, it's often too late to change it. Not always but often.
I can't know specifically where you currently are in life or what your currently desired prize might be. For me it was creating success. What I perceived as being success at the time I mean. In my mind I was going for BIG success and I was determined to do whatever it took to get there.
Now on the surface that may seem to be a commendable goal and to an extent it is. I certainly thought it was. That's why I was always working really hard, always busy, always doing whatever it took to move toward and create what I "believed" at the time to be "success." And doing all that stuff is part of what enabled me to get the money and stuff I mentioned earlier.
And I did get there because that was my desired prize and I did what it took based on what I thought was necessary. And believe me, what I thought was necessary aligned perfectly with what it did take and I'll assure you that was PLENTY.
And then I "got there" only to find that it wasn't the prize I really wanted at all and definitely NOT where I wanted to stay. I definitely enjoyed "part of it" but I was missing so much in life to "get" what I later discovered to be only a very small part of what I truly desired.
Maybe your prize currently, as is the case with many people is to simply survive and get by. But you also find yourself working really hard, always busy, always doing whatever it takes to create and make sure you do survive?
That's what most everyone is doing regardless of how they view their prize. It doesn't matter if it's BIG success or mere survival and getting by.
And in either case, whether it's going for BIG success or mere survival, ultimately, at some point in time, most find or at least think that life is passing or has passed them by.
They also find at some point, that they didn't get to do what they truly wanted to do because they were always busy chasing this, chasing that, doing this, doing that only to find that the entire time they had been overlooking the important "stuff."
I know in my own personal life in years past that I could sometimes get so hung up focusing on and chasing this "all important prize of BIG success" that I forgot how to enjoy the game. Put another way I got so caught up and focused on winning the race that I forgot how to slow down long enough to even look at, let alone enjoy and savor the scenery along the way.
Can you relate? If you're still reading this, chances are better than good that you can.
And if you can, you already know that we can get so involved, in such a hurry, so focused, so busy and so anxious about manifesting the end result; what we honestly believe and truly think is the prize, regardless of how big or small it might be, that the scenery just whizzes by in a non-distinguishable flash.
And based on my own experience, before you know it; in what "seems like" the blink of an eye, you’re looking up and wondering where all those years went.
We find ourselves asking, "Where did life go?"
And many...most actually look back at what they wanted to do, what they could have done, what they should have done yet didn't do, or in some cases what they did do based on blind and short sighted choices but still, as a result, they feel regret.
And they also all have one other thing in common. They all say how life passed them by. That the years were a flash and that 10, 20, 30, 40 or more years "seem like" the blink of an eye.
And I think you'll agree, a number of years doing this or that, whether to create "perceived success" or mere survival that ultimately leads to regret is NOT a "good place" to be.
It certainly doesn't provide prosperity and happiness regardless of how much "stuff" you might have acquired along the way.
I'm far from alone in that observation. I not only know, fully understand and have experienced what that’s like personally, I interact with and assist countless others from all over the world who have as well. People from all cultures and all walks of life.
Maybe you're there now or beginning to realize just how true that is for yourself. But if you're not there yet, take just a minute and think back 2, 5, 10 or even 20 years and think about something that you thought of doing, really want to do and maybe even really meant to do beginning from whatever time frame you chose, but you still haven't done it yet.
Now come back to now. Does it seem like yesterday or somewhere close when you first thought about it?
If it doesn't "seem that way" to you yet, it will at some point.
Now, whatever time period you chose to look back on, what was there that you wanted to do, didn't do but really wish you HAD done?
Is it more time with the kids or the family? Is it traveling? Is it starting that business that you've "thought" so much about. There are an infinite number of possibilities so I'll just ask you specifically.
What is it for you? What is it that you wish you'd done but haven't yet got around to doing? When did that initial desire surface that you wanted to do but didn't?
How much time has actually passed and how long does it seem like it was? The blink of an eye right?
Do you feel regret or at the least have strong feelings that you should have done it by now or at least wish you would have?
If so, for now, don't worry about it. Just for now. Because it happens to A LOT of people and as far as the time passing in what seems like the blink of an eye, that applies to ALL of us and will become a reality at some point...regardless of where you are now.
No exceptions.
But you have to slow down long enough to think about it sometimes. Really think about it.
And once you're aware of it, if you truly desire to change things and actually get done what you hoped and wish you had, but didn't, it's going to be necessary to do something in the future that you DIDN'T do in the past.
Or the years are going to continue on and 5 years from now, 10 years, 20 years or more are going to seem like the blink of an eye.
As I sit and write this, I think back to what seems like yesterday when my kids were all still at home, the sounds of their little feet pitter pattering around the house, hearing those occasional giggles moving from room to room; and those occasional short lived arguments that would seem to come out of nowhere because something didn't go exactly as one of them thought it should.
Those memories are many. And they're very fond memories that go way way back and span the course of many years. But as I think back and reflect on these memories, even many years ago, it "seems like" yesterday. Although it's only been a few years since my youngest son went out to explore the world on his own, that "seems like" yesterday too.
Although I knew that was inevitable, somehow the years got by me much quicker than I thought they would or even believed they could for that matter.
And I don't mind saying, I miss those days. I miss all the cute little things they said and the many hilarious little occurrences that they were a part of, many of which they weren't even aware that I observed.
And as I think back and reflect I realize there's MANY things that I wanted to do yet I didn't DO them.
Ok, back to going after the prize.
Although I did get to experience and savor some of those precious and memorable moments over the years, at the same time I can't help but wonder how many of those moments I missed unnecessarily, overlooked or simply didn't take the time to slow down a bit and do, because I was "too busy" and so fixated on what I thought was the "real prize" at that time.
It's not so much a wonder as if I'm wallowing in the past in remorse or regret, because I'm not. But admittedly, on occasion the "human side of me" ponders those days at times wondering how I might have been there more and made it "better" for all of us.
That's why I do what I do today.
I made a commitment a number of years ago to do the best I'm able to make life "better" for anyone who's willing to listen and who truly desires to be, do and/or have more of what they "truly desire" in life. It's actually my passion to show and assist people to DO things differently than they have been so they might achieve more of what they "truly desire" to be, do and/or have more of.
And I do so by reflecting on, using and conveying my own experiences to assist anyone who is willing in doing that with the hope and intention that I might play a role in helping them to eliminate any possible future regrets.
That's why you're reading this right now. It's the best way I'm able and know to do that.
I certainly can't go back and redo things in my own past. Neither can you. But you CAN make a choice to do things differently starting right here, right now so you might HAVE what you truly do desire at some future point in time.
That way there's no regret, no remorse or no constantly thinking about, anxious about, worrying about what you could or should have done or what you could or should do but aren't.
That's how it came to be that I'm doing what I do today. It's also what enables me to achieve and "get done" what I thought about and wanted to do for many years but didn't get around to because I was so focused on what I thought to be BIG success.
I was too busy focusing on my desired prize and so busy that I missed A LOT of other things that I really and truly wanted to do but didn't do anything about.
I thought I couldn't at the time but I COULD have all along.
So this is the best way I know to make sure that I know to eliminate any possible "future regret" and make certain that I achieve what I've since defined as my "Soul Purpose." It's the best way I know to keep moving forward, keep on keepin on and hopefully make a meaningful and significant difference for you and as many as I possibly can along the way.
And although I do so for you and for anyone else who's willing to listen, learn and benefit from my experiences, I do it equally for myself.
Because I've discovered what the "real prize" is for me, what's truly important and what I truly value today. And it plays a HUGE role in bringing happiness, harmony and fulfillment in my own life and the lives of many others at the same time.
That's why I share what I do now. To perhaps provide a bit of my personal insights to you based on my own experience, with the hope and intention that I might provide you with the opportunity to experience more of what you value most too.
Maybe for you that means engaging and experiencing more of those cherished times with those who you love and who are extra special to you. Maybe it's something else altogether different for you.
Regardless I do what I do for you and for those that you might not be currently considering or thinking about as much as you will someday after you've finished going after and maybe even "getting" what you currently "think and believe" is your prize.
Maybe you know that applies to you currently and maybe you think it doesn't. Maybe you already know that it will impact your life in some way and maybe you think it won't.
I can't know what you're thinking or what you believe. But what I do know, based on my own experience as well as the experiences of countless others, is that someday it will.
And something else I do know is that the things that are important…I mean REALLY REALLY important are the things that we can sometimes; with all the best intentions, tend to temporarily put aside or even unknowingly take for granted as we progress toward attaining our treasured prize.
And all the while it's very easy to begin thinking and justifying to ourselves, “Well…it's only temporary and I'll get around to it someday" or "Hey, I'm doing this for them so they'll understand.”
Believe me when I tell you, I KNOW that it can prove to be a constant balancing act sometimes. Sometimes even, as it often was for me as well as many others I know, it can get damn frustrating at times.
Don't get me wrong…there’s nothing wrong with wanting and going after the BIG prize. It's a commendable trait in my opinion. Because to truly win in life, to be able to fully enjoy life and experience what we all desire it’s essential to take action.
It's an important, essential and necessary part of the game.
And although we all have desires; although those desires do vary from person to person, at some point we all come to the realization that what we really wanted all along and were really and truly attempting to attain is physical, financial, relational, emotional and spiritual harmony.
Yet so few ever do.
I had and still do have a desire to win the game like I think most everybody does. I have a desire like everyone else to be, do and have more.
But at some point I think it's also important to come to the realization that spending the majority of your life and the short time we have here staying focused and fixated on acquiring the material prize whether in large or small quantities isn't nearly as important as many “believe” that it is.
Nor is it nearly as important to attain as it sometimes "seems" as you discover once you achieve whatever it is that you've set out to do.
Because as we all find at some point, there's always more.
Once you get there, once you attain or achieve this “thing” whatever it might be, there will always be something else…something bigger…something better…something that you might currently believe will make you happy once you have it just like the many things before it which never delivered long term the sense of security, satisfaction, wholeness or completion that you “thought” it would.
And the reason is simple.
Buckle up because we're going to make a "radical shift" here.
It's because the real prize; I'm talking about The REAL prize that we ALL "truly desire"; the prize that underlies all this doing and getting isn’t anything physical.
And what that is, is a sense of completion. Completion isn’t derived from doing this or doing that or amassing and accumulating “physical stuff.”
Completion is something that happens and is experienced on the inside and has never, is never and will never be achieved through creating and acquiring things on the “outside.”
Real Happiness, Real Prosperity and a sense of completion is why we do whatever it is we do and often work so hard to get whatever it that we set out to get. Most are just doing it blindly without realizing what it is that they "truly do" want out of life.
Achievement and making progress in life is a part of it for sure. But at some point, what most “perceive” the real prize to be is going to go away like all material things do.
What is important…extremely important…is thinking about and becoming keenly aware and conscious of the needless and unnecessary sacrifices that so many have made; that you might be making currently or at some future point in time will make if you take your eyes off of what we all really and truly want and you; whether knowingly or unknowingly let your priorities get out of order.
If you allow whatever it might be that you’re doing to attain whatever your desired prize is; if you enable and allow it to dominate all your time and attention and, whether knowingly or unknowingly forget about those things and/or people that you love and value most, you're going to look back one day and know in an all too painful kind of way EXACTLY what I'm talking about.
I'm not just blindly rambling here. I speak from experience. I was engaged in a career for years that dominated ALL my time. I found myself seeking the BIG success prize 12, 14, sometimes 16 or more hours per day 6 days per week based on what I had been taught and "honestly believed" the prize was.
But guess what? What I had been taught and honestly believed was necessary to be happy and successful in life turned out not to be the Real Prize at all. It didn't provide happiness, harmony or Real Success in any way, shape or form.
Not even close.
As I learned by walking this "long path" that I chose, success isn’t about money and things in and of themselves. Success is about creating happiness and harmony in life...
Physically, financially, relationally, emotionally and spiritually...period.
I “woke up” one day after many years of spending the majority of my “time” attempting to acquire this form of “perceived success” before I realized that. It's what I refer to today as a form of illusionary success that I've found most are blindly and anxiously chasing after only to realize at some point that it wasn't what they were truly looking for.
That can be both a sobering and an eye opening experience when you come to that realization.
Like so many in our hustle and bustle world do today, I spent many hours a day for many years of my life chasing that material prize. Won it many times too. Made a lot of money, lost a lot of money. Made more, lost more. Had a lot of toys, lost a lot of toys.
Did we enjoy them…sure. But as I reflect and ask myself, were the missed ball games, being the absentee parent at many of the school functions, or missing those precious Halloween nights once a year taking your little Spider Man and Princess from door to door to get their treasured little candy treats worth it?
Was the constant mental, emotional and physical drain I experienced by constantly focusing on and chasing the money prize really worth it?
For me it wasn’t. For many others who I connect and communicate with it wasn't either.
And what I've since discovered in my own life is that those who I claimed to be doing it for didn't want what I thought they did either. I found that what I could give TO them and what I might do for them materially wasn't nearly as important as I thought it was.
What they REALLY wanted was ME being there for them.
I'm not talking about just physically being there. I'm talking about being FULLY there. Being fully attentive, receptive and 100% present when I was there and showing them how much I loved, appreciated and cared for them.
Until I came to the realization that although you can achieve a level of “material success” or some other exclusively focused on goal, hope, dream or desire, chasing, and struggling and putting your all into it, working long and hard to acquire it, there’s more to it than that. There's more to life than that.
So much more.
And I've also discovered there's a much easier and far more fulfilling way to achieve it and still experience the harmony and balance in other vitally and equally important life areas than most understand or are even aware of for that matter.
That way is developing the internal harmony; a way of being that happens and takes place inside. It's a way of BEING that enables, allows and creates the external having without having to scrape, struggle, sacrifice and work so hard to get it.
And it's a way of being that keeps your priorities in order and enables you to also do and have what you "truly desire to do and have.
It enables you to attain the material prize as well as other important life areas without having to blindly make so many unnecessary sacrifices or experience the many potential regrets that so many experience in their lives at some point in time.
And anyone can achieve it if they're willing to and they simply choose to.
Here’s the conclusion I’ve personally come to…
In life, time is the real prize. Having and being willing and able to take and spend the time to do what you love with who you love. Being able to spend your time doing whatever it might be that you love and value most.
That's the REAL prize.
Although many of us go after the material prize, whether it's for basic survival or in large quantity, I think at some point most discover as I did, it's not really the material prize you're after as much as you might think, but rather having the time and ability to share and enjoy life with those you love.
That's the REAL prize. So I guess a really important thing to think about and consider as you’re chasing your own prize is how much time does it take away from what matters to you most and are you neglecting or taking for granted the "really" important things as you go "out there" and do whatever it is that you do to get it.
If you have no one to share your prize with once you've got it in your hands; someone to celebrate your victory with you once you cross the finish line, to share and savor the fruits of your labor with you, the material prize really doesn't mean a thing. The same goes for mental, emotional and physical health.
Without those, all the money in the world won't do you a bit of good as it pertains to achieving Real Happiness and Real Harmony in life.
You can always spend and always get more money. But when you blindly spend your time, you can never regain it.
So my recommendation to you as I recommend to so many around the world is to become really conscious about how you might be spending yours. And if you find that what you think you want is narrowly focused, you might strongly consider expanding it and if necessary making some new life choices to achieve it.
By all means go for the prize but become consciously aware and think about what it takes to get it and make certain that you remember and understand that the Real Prize is really about love and happiness…both the giving and receiving.
The bottom line is, it’s never the material prize we’re after in and of itself, but the feelings that we believe having the prize will provide once we’re standing there holding it in our hands.
The Ultimate prize in life is really all about having, expressing and experiencing love and happiness and then filling in the other areas.
That’s where a “true” and lasting sense of harmony, happiness, fulfillment and a sense of completion comes from.
Although I'm well aware that a lot of people have to figure that out for themselves as I and so many like me have, the material prize and all the other "stuff" in and of itself can’t and won’t ever give you that.
Never has never will.
Love, Abundance, Happiness and fulfillment comes from within. It has nothing to do with having and has everything to do with “Being.“
Once you develop the ability to align and harmonize your internal way of being with your externally desired prize, you’ll discover that it comes to you in far simpler and faster ways. It’s not necessary to chase it or struggle to acquire it. In fact those factors can and will keep it from you or at best make it much more difficult to acquire than is necessary.
Be love…be abundant…be happy…and you’ll find that you’ll become complete and better enabled and empowered to do and have whatever your heart desires.
Find it within, share it with others and everything on the outside will fall into place.
If you’ll only choose to do that, you’ll find that you don’t have to “chase” the prize or anything else. In fact, you’ll start attracting it.
Coming to that realization could save you many years of toil, a lot of heartache, unnecessary anguish, any future remorse or regret and WILL make all the difference in every aspect of your life…physically, financially, relationally, emotionally and spiritually.
When you understand that you can consciously and effectively harmonize those pillars of your life. And if you choose to do so, you’ll know what “happiness, harmony, wholeness and completion” really and truly is.
And achieving that; getting that and experiencing that is what I personally choose to refer to as Real Abundance, Real Happiness, Real Harmony and Real Freedom.
That's the Real Prize.

Although I can't know what your answer might be or what drew you here specifically, one thing I do know to be true about you, me and everyone else, is that we each have a desire to be, do and have more in life.
Now I'm not a gambling man and never have been. But I'd be willing to bet a thousand dollars (Heck, let's go for a hundred thousand) that you do too right? You have a desire to be, do and/or have more of something in life?
Of course you do. We ALL do. We ALL want something more and we're all going after that prize, whatever it might be regardless of what that means to us individually.
Well, fasten your seat belt because I'm going to reveal how you can not only get more, but more of what you "truly desire."
And yes, in most cases there is a huge difference between what so many "think they want" and what they "truly desire" more of.
First Let's Get Clear On and Define What Going After The Prize Means For You Based on Where You Are Now Versus What It Might Mean For Someone Else
Because for some, going after the prize in the way I'm referring to it, means nothing more than basic survival and getting by.
That can be difficult to look at and see as a "prize."
But it is in a sense.
And it is because it doesn't matter where you are currently. It could be a lot worse right? I mean let's face it if you're broke, is there something worse than that?
Absolutely. You could be diagnosed with a serious life threatening illness. Which would you pick? The point is there are many things in life that are worse than being broke.
So even if you're in survival mode and just getting by and the more you want is a hundred bucks to get you through the week or the end of the month, that's still your prize.
Let's shift to the other end of the prize spectrum.
For others going after the prize might mean really big achievements of one form or another. For some fame, others fortune and still others something else. It doesn't matter what going after the prize means for you really, we're ALL going after some prize...regardless.
Ultimately though, our desired prize; the real prize that we "truly desire" as unique, individual and varying as they might "seem" on the surface, really boils down to one thing. Although the labels are many, that one thing is that we all want to experience at various levels, what's often labeled as Prosperity.
Does that hold true for you? If you thought you could have prosperity would you want it? Would you take it? Would you go for it if you knew you could have it?
Here's a REALLY IMPORTANT question...
What do you "think" prosperity is? What is your personal definition? Have you ever thought about it? I mean REALLY thought about it.
We all have our individual perspectives regarding what prosperity is and isn't for sure. But many haven't ever really thought about it so they don't REALLY know what their definition of prosperity is.
My personal perspective regarding prosperity has shifted; or at the least been greatly enhanced over the years. But not before walking some paths that revealed what prosperity WASN'T even though I "thought it was." I had an idea and knew what what I wanted more of, but after I got it I found that it wasn't prosperity.
I often look back on and think deeply about that initial perspective I held back then. In reflecting back, my initial definition of Prosperity was acquiring and amassing material wealth. And I was pretty good at it too. Really good actually. I reached what many today believe to be and would label as the pinnacle of success.
Bottom line, I made A LOT of money. Got a lot of toys, traveled, did this, did that, yadda yadda yadda.
But what I discovered after getting there, is that it didn't provide what I "thought and believed" that it would. I made a lot of money, got some stuff and even got to do a lot of traveling but I still didn't feel very prosperous and I certainly wasn't happy.
Not a long term from of happiness.
And yes, I set my sights on my perception of prosperity, focused on getting it, set out to claim it and actually received what I had defined and thought was "my prize." But once I got it, I found that something was still missing.
You could say, that although I made a lot of money and acquired a lot of stuff, prosperity and long term happiness still eluded me.
And what I discovered, although very simple, at the same time it's quite profound, potentially transformational and may very well assist you to get clear on what prosperity really is, define, get focused on and achieve real prosperity and long term happiness far quicker and in a far more simple way than I and many like me have.
How so?
Well...I've since discovered that my perception and the choices I made based on those perceptions to reach what I thought at the time would enable me to FINALLY experience happiness and prosperity, were very "blind and short sighted choices."
Although those choices did lead to making a lot of money and getting some "stuff", they didn't actually lead me to or provide what I thought they would.
I've also since found that A LOT of people do the very same thing. Many of the people who I personally connect and communicate with today, have experienced and have come to the very same conclusion. I'm far from alone in that discovery.
You could say we made "blind choices" based on a limited perspective as we engaged and we're going after and doing our best to make our individual prize real.
We "thought and honestly believed" that what we chose to do and actually did would provide it, but then we found that it didn't.
I suppose the simplest and most succinct way to describe it would be to say that our perspectives and our beliefs were misaligned or disharmonious with achieving what we "truly desired" without realizing it at the time.
So, I'm going to ask you...
Are you where you want to be in life? I mean are you really and truly at the place in life where you "truly desire" to be?
More specifically, are you experiencing prosperity and happiness in every area of your life?
And if you're not, are you open and willing to admit at this point that the choices you have made, are making and will make can be improved upon and enhanced so you can experience that?
That's what we're going to be discussing here.
Maybe what I have to share can assist you in getting really clear on, defining, going after and making your "prosperity choices" in a way that is more aligned and harmonious with what you "truly desire."
Rather than doing what I and many like me have done because we "thought and believed" we knew what prosperity was only to discover many years later that it wasn't "really and truly" what we thought it was at all, I'm going to introduce you to and point you toward what I've found to be the "short path."
You with me here? Does that make sense?
I'm definitely not here to tell you what prosperity should or shouldn't be for you. Nor am I here to define what happiness is, isn't or should be for you. What I am here to do is assist you in bypassing what I call the "long path" and point you to the shortest path I'm aware of for achieving Real Prosperity.
Then if it makes sense to you and it feels right you can begin walking that path if you choose to.
Are we on the same page?
I suppose the "main thing" I hope to do is to assist you in getting what you really and truly want in the quickest way possible. At the same time, maybe what I share will enable you to eliminate any potential future regrets that I've found so many unknowingly and unwittingly choose as they navigate toward the individual prize that they "think they want" only to find that it didn't lead to or provide what we ALL without exception "truly desire."
Now you might be thinking that what you want and what you truly desire are one and the same thing. That's what I used to think, but it's not. In MOST cases it's not.
How so?
Because, unbeknownst to many, there are 2 ways to look at happiness and prosperity. One way is to move toward it based on what you think you know and the other is a much bigger picture view of what happiness prosperity really is.
What it REALLY and truly is.
So what does the big picture view of this happiness and prosperity picture look like?
Quite simply, in this bigger picture view, happiness and prosperity (The Real Prize that we're ALL attempting to get) entails achieving physical, financial, relational, emotional and spiritual harmony.
That's REAL prosperity. That's also what enables and allows Real Happiness to not only become but remain a way of life long term.
Do you see that? And if you do, are you ready for some of that? Are you ready to actually experience it?
If so, stay with me, follow along, remain attentive and I'll do my best to point you in the direction where I know you can find it.
Fair?
let's set the stage...
First of all, it's a very common thing in our busy and hectic world for people who have big hopes, dreams and visions for their life (or even those who consistently struggle just to make ends meet) to sometimes get so caught up in "trying so hard" to create success or simply survive, that they often lose sight of and forget how to live.
Really live I mean.
All guilty parties please raise your hand.
I'll be the first to step up and raise my own hand because, as I've shared, I've been there and done that personally. But since we're connecting and communicating through text and I don't know how to make a "text" hand I'll do the next best thing and just type…ME.
Now that I've stepped up, I'll ask you the same. Do you find yourself always busy doing this and busy doing that, thinking about doing this thing, that thing or this other thing and find yourself with little or no time to enjoy and savor life?
Or are you always thinking about, talking about and perhaps even stressing, anxious and maybe even freaking out about what you don't have and think you need rather than slowing down, tuning in and being grateful for what you DO already have?
And if so do you find that you never get any further and barely ever get past beating yourself up and maybe to some degree consistently find that you're worrying about what tomorrow holds?
Hey, if so you are definitely NOT alone. But that's precisely what creates what I like to call "life blindness" and has life passing so many by without them ever getting what they want and without ever realizing that life is passing them by.
But it is and it does. And once they discover it, it's often too late to change it. Not always but often.
I can't know specifically where you currently are in life or what your currently desired prize might be. For me it was creating success. What I perceived as being success at the time I mean. In my mind I was going for BIG success and I was determined to do whatever it took to get there.
Now on the surface that may seem to be a commendable goal and to an extent it is. I certainly thought it was. That's why I was always working really hard, always busy, always doing whatever it took to move toward and create what I "believed" at the time to be "success." And doing all that stuff is part of what enabled me to get the money and stuff I mentioned earlier.
And I did get there because that was my desired prize and I did what it took based on what I thought was necessary. And believe me, what I thought was necessary aligned perfectly with what it did take and I'll assure you that was PLENTY.
And then I "got there" only to find that it wasn't the prize I really wanted at all and definitely NOT where I wanted to stay. I definitely enjoyed "part of it" but I was missing so much in life to "get" what I later discovered to be only a very small part of what I truly desired.
Maybe your prize currently, as is the case with many people is to simply survive and get by. But you also find yourself working really hard, always busy, always doing whatever it takes to create and make sure you do survive?
That's what most everyone is doing regardless of how they view their prize. It doesn't matter if it's BIG success or mere survival and getting by.
And in either case, whether it's going for BIG success or mere survival, ultimately, at some point in time, most find or at least think that life is passing or has passed them by.
They also find at some point, that they didn't get to do what they truly wanted to do because they were always busy chasing this, chasing that, doing this, doing that only to find that the entire time they had been overlooking the important "stuff."
I know in my own personal life in years past that I could sometimes get so hung up focusing on and chasing this "all important prize of BIG success" that I forgot how to enjoy the game. Put another way I got so caught up and focused on winning the race that I forgot how to slow down long enough to even look at, let alone enjoy and savor the scenery along the way.
Can you relate? If you're still reading this, chances are better than good that you can.
And if you can, you already know that we can get so involved, in such a hurry, so focused, so busy and so anxious about manifesting the end result; what we honestly believe and truly think is the prize, regardless of how big or small it might be, that the scenery just whizzes by in a non-distinguishable flash.
And based on my own experience, before you know it; in what "seems like" the blink of an eye, you’re looking up and wondering where all those years went.
We find ourselves asking, "Where did life go?"
And many...most actually look back at what they wanted to do, what they could have done, what they should have done yet didn't do, or in some cases what they did do based on blind and short sighted choices but still, as a result, they feel regret.
And they also all have one other thing in common. They all say how life passed them by. That the years were a flash and that 10, 20, 30, 40 or more years "seem like" the blink of an eye.
And I think you'll agree, a number of years doing this or that, whether to create "perceived success" or mere survival that ultimately leads to regret is NOT a "good place" to be.
It certainly doesn't provide prosperity and happiness regardless of how much "stuff" you might have acquired along the way.
I'm far from alone in that observation. I not only know, fully understand and have experienced what that’s like personally, I interact with and assist countless others from all over the world who have as well. People from all cultures and all walks of life.
Maybe you're there now or beginning to realize just how true that is for yourself. But if you're not there yet, take just a minute and think back 2, 5, 10 or even 20 years and think about something that you thought of doing, really want to do and maybe even really meant to do beginning from whatever time frame you chose, but you still haven't done it yet.
Now come back to now. Does it seem like yesterday or somewhere close when you first thought about it?
If it doesn't "seem that way" to you yet, it will at some point.
Now, whatever time period you chose to look back on, what was there that you wanted to do, didn't do but really wish you HAD done?
Is it more time with the kids or the family? Is it traveling? Is it starting that business that you've "thought" so much about. There are an infinite number of possibilities so I'll just ask you specifically.
What is it for you? What is it that you wish you'd done but haven't yet got around to doing? When did that initial desire surface that you wanted to do but didn't?
How much time has actually passed and how long does it seem like it was? The blink of an eye right?
Do you feel regret or at the least have strong feelings that you should have done it by now or at least wish you would have?
If so, for now, don't worry about it. Just for now. Because it happens to A LOT of people and as far as the time passing in what seems like the blink of an eye, that applies to ALL of us and will become a reality at some point...regardless of where you are now.
No exceptions.
But you have to slow down long enough to think about it sometimes. Really think about it.
And once you're aware of it, if you truly desire to change things and actually get done what you hoped and wish you had, but didn't, it's going to be necessary to do something in the future that you DIDN'T do in the past.
Or the years are going to continue on and 5 years from now, 10 years, 20 years or more are going to seem like the blink of an eye.
As I sit and write this, I think back to what seems like yesterday when my kids were all still at home, the sounds of their little feet pitter pattering around the house, hearing those occasional giggles moving from room to room; and those occasional short lived arguments that would seem to come out of nowhere because something didn't go exactly as one of them thought it should.
Those memories are many. And they're very fond memories that go way way back and span the course of many years. But as I think back and reflect on these memories, even many years ago, it "seems like" yesterday. Although it's only been a few years since my youngest son went out to explore the world on his own, that "seems like" yesterday too.
Although I knew that was inevitable, somehow the years got by me much quicker than I thought they would or even believed they could for that matter.
And I don't mind saying, I miss those days. I miss all the cute little things they said and the many hilarious little occurrences that they were a part of, many of which they weren't even aware that I observed.
And as I think back and reflect I realize there's MANY things that I wanted to do yet I didn't DO them.
Ok, back to going after the prize.
Although I did get to experience and savor some of those precious and memorable moments over the years, at the same time I can't help but wonder how many of those moments I missed unnecessarily, overlooked or simply didn't take the time to slow down a bit and do, because I was "too busy" and so fixated on what I thought was the "real prize" at that time.
It's not so much a wonder as if I'm wallowing in the past in remorse or regret, because I'm not. But admittedly, on occasion the "human side of me" ponders those days at times wondering how I might have been there more and made it "better" for all of us.
That's why I do what I do today.
I made a commitment a number of years ago to do the best I'm able to make life "better" for anyone who's willing to listen and who truly desires to be, do and/or have more of what they "truly desire" in life. It's actually my passion to show and assist people to DO things differently than they have been so they might achieve more of what they "truly desire" to be, do and/or have more of.
And I do so by reflecting on, using and conveying my own experiences to assist anyone who is willing in doing that with the hope and intention that I might play a role in helping them to eliminate any possible future regrets.
That's why you're reading this right now. It's the best way I'm able and know to do that.
I certainly can't go back and redo things in my own past. Neither can you. But you CAN make a choice to do things differently starting right here, right now so you might HAVE what you truly do desire at some future point in time.
That way there's no regret, no remorse or no constantly thinking about, anxious about, worrying about what you could or should have done or what you could or should do but aren't.
That's how it came to be that I'm doing what I do today. It's also what enables me to achieve and "get done" what I thought about and wanted to do for many years but didn't get around to because I was so focused on what I thought to be BIG success.
I was too busy focusing on my desired prize and so busy that I missed A LOT of other things that I really and truly wanted to do but didn't do anything about.
I thought I couldn't at the time but I COULD have all along.
So this is the best way I know to make sure that I know to eliminate any possible "future regret" and make certain that I achieve what I've since defined as my "Soul Purpose." It's the best way I know to keep moving forward, keep on keepin on and hopefully make a meaningful and significant difference for you and as many as I possibly can along the way.
And although I do so for you and for anyone else who's willing to listen, learn and benefit from my experiences, I do it equally for myself.
Because I've discovered what the "real prize" is for me, what's truly important and what I truly value today. And it plays a HUGE role in bringing happiness, harmony and fulfillment in my own life and the lives of many others at the same time.
That's why I share what I do now. To perhaps provide a bit of my personal insights to you based on my own experience, with the hope and intention that I might provide you with the opportunity to experience more of what you value most too.
Maybe for you that means engaging and experiencing more of those cherished times with those who you love and who are extra special to you. Maybe it's something else altogether different for you.
Regardless I do what I do for you and for those that you might not be currently considering or thinking about as much as you will someday after you've finished going after and maybe even "getting" what you currently "think and believe" is your prize.
Maybe you know that applies to you currently and maybe you think it doesn't. Maybe you already know that it will impact your life in some way and maybe you think it won't.
I can't know what you're thinking or what you believe. But what I do know, based on my own experience as well as the experiences of countless others, is that someday it will.
And something else I do know is that the things that are important…I mean REALLY REALLY important are the things that we can sometimes; with all the best intentions, tend to temporarily put aside or even unknowingly take for granted as we progress toward attaining our treasured prize.
And all the while it's very easy to begin thinking and justifying to ourselves, “Well…it's only temporary and I'll get around to it someday" or "Hey, I'm doing this for them so they'll understand.”
Believe me when I tell you, I KNOW that it can prove to be a constant balancing act sometimes. Sometimes even, as it often was for me as well as many others I know, it can get damn frustrating at times.
Don't get me wrong…there’s nothing wrong with wanting and going after the BIG prize. It's a commendable trait in my opinion. Because to truly win in life, to be able to fully enjoy life and experience what we all desire it’s essential to take action.
It's an important, essential and necessary part of the game.
And although we all have desires; although those desires do vary from person to person, at some point we all come to the realization that what we really wanted all along and were really and truly attempting to attain is physical, financial, relational, emotional and spiritual harmony.
Yet so few ever do.
I had and still do have a desire to win the game like I think most everybody does. I have a desire like everyone else to be, do and have more.
But at some point I think it's also important to come to the realization that spending the majority of your life and the short time we have here staying focused and fixated on acquiring the material prize whether in large or small quantities isn't nearly as important as many “believe” that it is.
Nor is it nearly as important to attain as it sometimes "seems" as you discover once you achieve whatever it is that you've set out to do.
Because as we all find at some point, there's always more.
Once you get there, once you attain or achieve this “thing” whatever it might be, there will always be something else…something bigger…something better…something that you might currently believe will make you happy once you have it just like the many things before it which never delivered long term the sense of security, satisfaction, wholeness or completion that you “thought” it would.
And the reason is simple.
Buckle up because we're going to make a "radical shift" here.
It's because the real prize; I'm talking about The REAL prize that we ALL "truly desire"; the prize that underlies all this doing and getting isn’t anything physical.
And what that is, is a sense of completion. Completion isn’t derived from doing this or doing that or amassing and accumulating “physical stuff.”
Completion is something that happens and is experienced on the inside and has never, is never and will never be achieved through creating and acquiring things on the “outside.”
Real Happiness, Real Prosperity and a sense of completion is why we do whatever it is we do and often work so hard to get whatever it that we set out to get. Most are just doing it blindly without realizing what it is that they "truly do" want out of life.
Achievement and making progress in life is a part of it for sure. But at some point, what most “perceive” the real prize to be is going to go away like all material things do.
What is important…extremely important…is thinking about and becoming keenly aware and conscious of the needless and unnecessary sacrifices that so many have made; that you might be making currently or at some future point in time will make if you take your eyes off of what we all really and truly want and you; whether knowingly or unknowingly let your priorities get out of order.
If you allow whatever it might be that you’re doing to attain whatever your desired prize is; if you enable and allow it to dominate all your time and attention and, whether knowingly or unknowingly forget about those things and/or people that you love and value most, you're going to look back one day and know in an all too painful kind of way EXACTLY what I'm talking about.
I'm not just blindly rambling here. I speak from experience. I was engaged in a career for years that dominated ALL my time. I found myself seeking the BIG success prize 12, 14, sometimes 16 or more hours per day 6 days per week based on what I had been taught and "honestly believed" the prize was.
But guess what? What I had been taught and honestly believed was necessary to be happy and successful in life turned out not to be the Real Prize at all. It didn't provide happiness, harmony or Real Success in any way, shape or form.
Not even close.
As I learned by walking this "long path" that I chose, success isn’t about money and things in and of themselves. Success is about creating happiness and harmony in life...
Physically, financially, relationally, emotionally and spiritually...period.
I “woke up” one day after many years of spending the majority of my “time” attempting to acquire this form of “perceived success” before I realized that. It's what I refer to today as a form of illusionary success that I've found most are blindly and anxiously chasing after only to realize at some point that it wasn't what they were truly looking for.
That can be both a sobering and an eye opening experience when you come to that realization.
Like so many in our hustle and bustle world do today, I spent many hours a day for many years of my life chasing that material prize. Won it many times too. Made a lot of money, lost a lot of money. Made more, lost more. Had a lot of toys, lost a lot of toys.
Did we enjoy them…sure. But as I reflect and ask myself, were the missed ball games, being the absentee parent at many of the school functions, or missing those precious Halloween nights once a year taking your little Spider Man and Princess from door to door to get their treasured little candy treats worth it?
Was the constant mental, emotional and physical drain I experienced by constantly focusing on and chasing the money prize really worth it?
For me it wasn’t. For many others who I connect and communicate with it wasn't either.
And what I've since discovered in my own life is that those who I claimed to be doing it for didn't want what I thought they did either. I found that what I could give TO them and what I might do for them materially wasn't nearly as important as I thought it was.
What they REALLY wanted was ME being there for them.
I'm not talking about just physically being there. I'm talking about being FULLY there. Being fully attentive, receptive and 100% present when I was there and showing them how much I loved, appreciated and cared for them.
Until I came to the realization that although you can achieve a level of “material success” or some other exclusively focused on goal, hope, dream or desire, chasing, and struggling and putting your all into it, working long and hard to acquire it, there’s more to it than that. There's more to life than that.
So much more.
And I've also discovered there's a much easier and far more fulfilling way to achieve it and still experience the harmony and balance in other vitally and equally important life areas than most understand or are even aware of for that matter.
That way is developing the internal harmony; a way of being that happens and takes place inside. It's a way of BEING that enables, allows and creates the external having without having to scrape, struggle, sacrifice and work so hard to get it.
And it's a way of being that keeps your priorities in order and enables you to also do and have what you "truly desire to do and have.
It enables you to attain the material prize as well as other important life areas without having to blindly make so many unnecessary sacrifices or experience the many potential regrets that so many experience in their lives at some point in time.
And anyone can achieve it if they're willing to and they simply choose to.
Here’s the conclusion I’ve personally come to…
In life, time is the real prize. Having and being willing and able to take and spend the time to do what you love with who you love. Being able to spend your time doing whatever it might be that you love and value most.
That's the REAL prize.
Although many of us go after the material prize, whether it's for basic survival or in large quantity, I think at some point most discover as I did, it's not really the material prize you're after as much as you might think, but rather having the time and ability to share and enjoy life with those you love.
That's the REAL prize. So I guess a really important thing to think about and consider as you’re chasing your own prize is how much time does it take away from what matters to you most and are you neglecting or taking for granted the "really" important things as you go "out there" and do whatever it is that you do to get it.
If you have no one to share your prize with once you've got it in your hands; someone to celebrate your victory with you once you cross the finish line, to share and savor the fruits of your labor with you, the material prize really doesn't mean a thing. The same goes for mental, emotional and physical health.
Without those, all the money in the world won't do you a bit of good as it pertains to achieving Real Happiness and Real Harmony in life.
You can always spend and always get more money. But when you blindly spend your time, you can never regain it.
So my recommendation to you as I recommend to so many around the world is to become really conscious about how you might be spending yours. And if you find that what you think you want is narrowly focused, you might strongly consider expanding it and if necessary making some new life choices to achieve it.
By all means go for the prize but become consciously aware and think about what it takes to get it and make certain that you remember and understand that the Real Prize is really about love and happiness…both the giving and receiving.
The bottom line is, it’s never the material prize we’re after in and of itself, but the feelings that we believe having the prize will provide once we’re standing there holding it in our hands.
The Ultimate prize in life is really all about having, expressing and experiencing love and happiness and then filling in the other areas.
That’s where a “true” and lasting sense of harmony, happiness, fulfillment and a sense of completion comes from.
Although I'm well aware that a lot of people have to figure that out for themselves as I and so many like me have, the material prize and all the other "stuff" in and of itself can’t and won’t ever give you that.
Never has never will.
Love, Abundance, Happiness and fulfillment comes from within. It has nothing to do with having and has everything to do with “Being.“
Once you develop the ability to align and harmonize your internal way of being with your externally desired prize, you’ll discover that it comes to you in far simpler and faster ways. It’s not necessary to chase it or struggle to acquire it. In fact those factors can and will keep it from you or at best make it much more difficult to acquire than is necessary.
Be love…be abundant…be happy…and you’ll find that you’ll become complete and better enabled and empowered to do and have whatever your heart desires.
Find it within, share it with others and everything on the outside will fall into place.
If you’ll only choose to do that, you’ll find that you don’t have to “chase” the prize or anything else. In fact, you’ll start attracting it.
Coming to that realization could save you many years of toil, a lot of heartache, unnecessary anguish, any future remorse or regret and WILL make all the difference in every aspect of your life…physically, financially, relationally, emotionally and spiritually.
When you understand that you can consciously and effectively harmonize those pillars of your life. And if you choose to do so, you’ll know what “happiness, harmony, wholeness and completion” really and truly is.
And achieving that; getting that and experiencing that is what I personally choose to refer to as Real Abundance, Real Happiness, Real Harmony and Real Freedom.
That's the Real Prize.
