Finding People You Can Trust

Last post I said you need someone in your life who knows you personally and can be there for you in those moments of doubt, fear, or weakness.  It’s important that they are someone who cares for you, wants the highest good for you, and most importantly, believes in you.  If you don’t have someone who qualifies in that role right now, that’s the most important next step in your journey toward prosperity and enlightenment.  Let’s explore some ways to do that…
victim-hood

Killing Your Inner Victim

There are random acts, but no random lives.  As you now know, your life (whether we’re discussing the old one or the reboot you desire to create) is the harvest of the thoughts you give precedence to.  And the daily actions those thoughts produce.  While it may sound simplistic to some, the profound truth is that when you transform your thoughts, you can transform your life.  The final and decisive step of this transformation is the release of victimhood.

Are You Really Living Your Life?

I get asked frequently why I’m so hard on organized religion.  Most who ask believe I’m on a crusade to convert the world to atheism.  In actuality, that’s the last thing I want to do.  There are many people whose faith nourishes their souls and lives in wondrous ways, and that’s a beautiful thing to behold.

Why You Have to Forgive Yourself

You can read this post today, only because back when I was a 15-year-old on trial for armed robbery, there was a public defender and a judge, who believed I was worthy of redemption.  I’d like to believe I turned out to be worthy of that belief.  One of the greatest gifts of humanity is our ability to forgive others and allow them the opportunity for redemption.  Last post we explored the power of forgiving those who have wronged you for any reason.  Now we need to talk about forgiving yourself…

The Power of Forgiveness

I told you earlier that along with the balmy breezes and swaying palm trees, my relocation to Miami also delivered to me the gift of coming face to face with a hopped-up crack addict with a gun.  That encounter ended up pretty much as you might think, with me taking a bullet to the gut.

Beware of the Soul Crushers

One of my dear friends called me for advice on how to handle her mother who was dying of cancer.  My advice was simple: Let her die.
self-awareness

Building a New You…

In the last post, I told you that the when you reach the level of self-awareness to become the thinker of the thought – that’s the day you’re actually born.  What we’re talking about is using your mind instead of being used by your mind.  You have to be able to step back, rise above your thoughts, and be conscious of them.  When you become the thinker of the thought, you become the architect of your life.  You stop believing in fate, luck and happenstance, and start realizing that you’re a co-creator of your life. 
rebirth

Your Real Birthday

If you desire to experience a radical rebirth, you’re going to have to create it twice.  You created it for the first time, by the vision you formulated.  Now it’s time to create the new you in the physical realm.   You begin by employing your prosperity manifestation formula, starting at the root: the programming you allow yourself to be influenced by.
