I would like to share a story of how Gratitude and Guidance play into our lives…

It was almost a decade ago but I can still remember it because it was a wake-up call for me.

On that particular day, my beloved wife was feeling a bit down and out of sorts. So while I was out at the store I saw the November copy of Oprah Magazine and I bought it for her thinking it might cheer her up a bit…

Little did I know, as usual something way smarter than me was guiding my actions.

For three days in a row, I too had been facing massive challenges. These challenges came in a wide variety, ranging from character attacks, professional attacks, to a personal journey back to my emotional childhood in which I questioned the very value of the love I offer. To say the least, it was a tough week! At one point I was in deep pain and although I knew it was emotional, my physical heart hurt. I gave my wife the magazine and went about my day.

A little later that morning, I entered my office and saw that my beloved wife had taken a page out of the Oprah Magazine I had bought her and clipped it up on my computer. I would like to share with you what it said about gratitude.

“Gratitude comes easily when our lives are in order-when the bills are paid, the children are behaving, our health is good. But our challenges are what bring the chance for transformation. And it is for our deepest pain that we can be most grateful, because we know our hardship will deliver a lesson that refines our character. As you practice gratitude this month, give thanks not only for what you have but also for what you have escaped. When difficulties arise, ask yourself, “What is the lesson for me in this?” And when you can give thanks in the midst of your trial, know that are becoming your finest.”

~OPRAH MAGAZINE, NOVEMBER 2000

As I sat at my desk, tears of gratitude poured down my face. I became instantly aware of all the things in my life that I had to be grateful for including the amazing woman I am blessed to call my wife.

On the surface, it’s easy for people to judge me as a tough guy. I lost my boyish looks during a rock-climbing incident in 1990 and my muscular body is evidence of my sport of bodybuilding. However, below the obvious, I am a deep thinker, a spiritually centered being, someone who likes a good laugh and despite the exterior, I am a big softy.

It is in these moments of awakening to everything I have to be grateful for that I know my reason and purpose in life.

This article is an except from my upcoming book “Don’t Read This…Unless You Want More Money” due for release in early May 2010.

I look forward to your feedback and comments.

With gratitude,

I think you would agree that if you are going to truly claim your competitive edge you must become committed to learning and growth or you will quickly fall behind your own potential.

That being said, sometimes that learning and growth are not always in areas that we might normally be comfortable with.
Even so…

Growth by its very nature demands that we extend beyond where we are, or what we know.

What you want doesn’t exist where you are, so you must be willing to step up to the next level of knowing and doing!

Let me explain: You may never have had an interest in Quantum Physics, but what if you suddenly discovered it was the most important thing you needed to learn in the pursuit of your own personal growth?

Here’s an example: It’s been known for a long time that all physical matter emitters and reabsorbs particles of energy. These particles of energy are known as quanta. (That’s where the term quantum physics comes from)

It is this quanta that has been the focus of study for particle physicists for the last 100 or so years, and it has been a study of mine for more than 25 years. (In high school I had absolutely no interest in this stuff ).

Ok,  let’s get back on track: When we analyze all the emissions (the quanta) from a physical object that is called a “Quantum Hologram”.

Here’s where it starts to get fascinating: The study of particle physics has shown us that all physical objects have a quantum hologram.  These same scientists have proven that this energy emission- this quantum hologram is available non-locally, which means throughout and at any point in the universe at all times.

Here’s where all this becomes very relevant to you:

The quanta emissions that are given off by a physical object, when studied as a whole, Uniquely Identify Events in The History of That Object.

So what?..  Here’s what!

You are a physical object giving off “quanta” and generating your own quantum hologram. The emissions of your being are uniquely identifying the subjective events in your history.

What that means is: You and I are all physical matter emitters and reabsorbs particles of energy which is broadcasting our history out to the entire universe, (even if we’re in denial of that history).

That my friends is why the study of quantum physics is fascinating but it’s also why the study and healing of your subjective history is essential.

I look forward to your feedback and comments

With gratitude,

You want the competitive edge, right?

We’re not talking about being some cutthroat underhanded shyster.
We are discussing what it takes to…

get the competitive edge in such a way that you not only keep your soul, you honour it!

I’d known Maggie for years, and I’d watched her financially struggle which to me was ridiculous as Maggie is an extremely talented individual.  One evening a few of us were grabbing a bite to eat and a couple of drinks. No one was drunk however, the beverages were lubricating the lock on the vault of where Maggie kept some of her truths. We were laughing and joking around when one of our group said to Maggie;

“So, when are you going to hit the big time Maggie?”

Maggie’s response was as honest as it could be, nonetheless, it wasn’t true. “I don’t know, I’m really stuck. I keep doing all the things the guru’s tell me to do, but it’s just not working.”

The person who asked the original question shot back an answer so quickly that it cut to the bone of each of us listening in.  “Well, whatever you’re doing isn’t working.”

It sounded harsh and maybe even a little mean but the fact was, the statement was right on target.

Maybe each one of us is too busy being right to go to the next level in our lives?

This may come as a shock to you however, the reason so many people are dissatisfied with their lives is because they are willing to be satisfied with the crap they have been believing. Put simply: many people can’t be bothered to think about what they’ve been believing. I know it sounds crazy, as most people would say that they think all the time. But do they? Objectively thinking about and examining our beliefs is just too much work for some people.

Strangely enough, those not willing to do this kind of work are all too often the same folks who don’t mind doing more than their fair share of complaining. Our beliefs determine the way in which we react to any given situations, because our beliefs by their very nature are based on history. What that means is most people are re-acting (doing what they always do) based on their history.

Now the question is: Why should you care? Because, the ego-mind which has been running your life says that the future will be the same as the past, therefore there is nothing you can do right now to change things.  The ego-mind likes things to stay the same because that makes them predictable.  Therefore as far as the ego-mind is concerned examining a belief or two is not an option.

And people wonder why their lives seem like  re-runs?  The answer is painfully obvious: Even if the situation is or could be different, we just react in the same old way and turn it into exactly what we expect. Until we are willing to examine our beliefs and rethink their contemporary relevance, we remain victims of our own perceptual history and it’s a history we are, in one form or another, actively creating over and over again.

To truly gain the competitive edge, to take that leap in quantum consciousness, to have wealth mastery in all its forms we must be willing to look at, examine, and admit what we are doing that’s not working!

Please note this is not even for a moment about beating the crap out of yourself for making mistakes. This is about being willing to see what doesn’t work in order to begin doing what does work.

My challenge to you is this…

Are you willing to be wrong about what’s not working?

Because until you are willing to look at and change that, it will continue not to work.

Giving you the competitive edge without losing your soul.

I look forward to reading your feedback and comments

With gratitude,

Valentines is on the way DON’T SCREAM!

Great love and relationships are not built on special occasion flowers, chocolates and great sex alone. 

Sure those things don’t go amiss… however if you are delivering as a special occasion band aid’s that you hope will put you in favor, you should know they are more likely to put you in the dog house.

Did you know: Research shows that many long term relationship come to a crashing halt on Valentines day.  The words may or may not be spoken on that day however, the wheels of the emotional divorce have already began to roll into motion.

In a recent survey more than 80% of the men whose wives asked for a divorce say; they are totally shocked,

they had NO IDEA…

These guys were happy in the same marriage their wife wanted out of!

What does that mean?  Maybe someones not speaking clearly enough, and maybe someones not listening well enough?

Whether we are aware of it or not, we all have a deep and natural craving to feel special to someone else.   Someone who sees us in ways that we wish we could see ourselves.

Very often that’s a big part of why we fall in love…they made you see yourself beyond the limited framework you had held of yourself,  and for that time you began to allow yourself to feel the truth of it.

Whether you are alone or coupled at Valentines, it won’t matter if you don’t have a healthy model for recognizing what you want when it shows up and the skills and tools to keep it…

Below is a video gift I have set up for you, because if you really want your relationship to go to the next level of depth and connection I would highly suggest that you take a look  at applying:

“The 5 Foundations of Building Healthy, Loving Relationships”

Enjoy and please feel free to share this with your friends and leave your feedback.

Happy Valentines:

To get the competitive edge, to really begin attracting the kinds of opportunities you want and need, that facilitate attaining both “life mastery” and “wealth mastery” there’s certain things you may really need to look at, maybe you could consider starting here…

Do yourself a favor and just sit up and pay attention for the next few minutes. Look, I’m aware that I am about to lead you into a place that may be less comfortable than you might prefer. However,where we’re  going will offer you a shortened path to true affluence. That being said, before we take another step, you will want to know this:

What you want doesn’t exist where you are!

Therefore, you will likely have to crawl out your “comfort zone” and cross the “dis-comfort zone” to get the quantum leap in consciousness that brings you your desired future.

Here’s the truth of it…

Part of you has been holding onto something that another part of you actually wants to let go of.

Can you feel that?

Well, until you let go, you are very unlikely to experience that quantum consciousness leap you so deeply desire.

Most people have had the experience of feeling the frustration grow within as the pressure to get somewhere on time quickly slips away. It is a fairly universal anxiety, we can all relate to, but for most of us, not one that requires the need of medication to get through.

There again that is not always true and for some people their medication is literal and obvious. As I’m sure you are aware, some people for example have an anxiety disorder for which they take a prescribed medication. While for others, the medication they use for “what ails them” is less obvious, because what they use to control it can be quite socially acceptable. Sadly, many of us who have used more socially acceptable medications may have frowned upon those who use ones that are not so acceptable.

Maybe you’ll recognize this example…

The workaholic often claims to be committed to providing a better life for their family. Sadly, it is often a family they are not really a part of, due to the work schedule they keep. As I’m sure you can see, if this person stopped medicating themselves with work they would have to feel and deal with the real issues they get to avoid by working.

Does that make sense?

To be absolutely clear, there are numerous ways to medicate yourself both socially frowned upon ones, and socially acceptable ones;

food, TV, compulsive cleaning, volunteering, alcohol, religion, sex, sports … and the list goes on.

None of these can I say are categorically “bad” in and of themselves, although when they are used to avoid dealing with issues in our lives, we are actually using them to medicate against pain.

In other words, whatever you are doing, consciously or unconsciously, to avoid undesirable feelings is the “medication” in your life.

Feelings that are not dealt with become repressed, and
what we repress controls us.

At this point, you may be internally (or externally screaming), “my behavior is not medication!” However, the ego-mind is a liar and that’s who’s doing the screaming.

No matter how nice, good or right a behavior may seem – if it enables you to avoid certain areas of your life, it is a medication!

And whether you believe it or not doesn’t change the fact that, long term it can be every bit as destructive as hard drugs.

With gratitude,

From the hallway I could hear the muffled sound of the TV in the other room. Curiosity pulled me into that room to find my mother watching our old black and white set. I glanced at the set where I saw a man I didn’t recognize speaking in a way that commanded my attention.  As compelling as this man was, there was something else going on in that room that had an even stronger pull… my mother.

Looking over at my mom I saw her dislodge her glasses upwards as she wiped a steady stream of tears from her eyes. I had seen my mother cry many times. To be honest at that point in our lives there seemed to be an abundance of reasons for my mom to be in tears, but this was different.

As a ten year old boy seeing my mother cry was something that always disturbed me. I walked over, put my hand on my mom’s shoulder and in an attempt to comfort her I asked what was wrong. Looking up at me, she tried to smile but it clearly wasn’t working. She stumbled for words and pointed at the TV saying: “He’s dead?” I looked back at the set and the powerful charismatic presence of Martin Luther King Jr. rang out like a bell in the fog.

I was a boy living in a ghetto environment of a dirty industrial town in England, I had no idea why my mother would be crying about a man I didn’t think I’d ever seen before. I didn’t recognize him as a movie star, a pop star or even a British politician. Why was she crying? In my boyish naivety I asked “who is he?” My mom said; “that’s Martin Luther King, someone shot him.” I was still puzzled. My mom continued through a flood of tears and said; “He was a great man, and now he’s dead”.

I became fascinated with finding out who this man had been. I asked my uncle who I considered to be the smartest person I knew and he told me of Martin Luther King’s fight for civil rights; how Dr. King had followed Gandhi’s model of peaceful demonstrations. He told me of all the people black and white people alike who had stood by Dr. King’s side for the civil rights of all people.

April 4^th 1968 was the day I not only became politically aware, it was the day something within my very soul was awakened. I began to grasp the difference this man had made, the impact he had left as a legacy, not just for black people but for all people. That day I began to understand that one person can make a massive positive difference. That day as a naive 10 year old I decided that I wanted to have the same kind of massively powerful impact on humanity that Dr. King had had on humanity, including my mother a Jewish woman living in a place that might have been a million miles away.

I of course, had no idea how I could make that difference; and to be honest, it seemed impossible based on the “facts” of who I was and the environment that surrounded me. I just knew that day that something within me had changed and it would never be the same.

Many people have seen Dr. King’s message as a message about freedom for black people. To me, his message was much deeper than color or creed. It was about the understanding that we are all the same, that at a soul level we are all on a journey, and it’s important to remove the blocks to our spiritual, mental, and emotional evolution. Although we may perceive those blocks as being outside ourselves, the truth is that they would all instantly disappear if we would commit to removing the ones on the inside.

40 plus years ago something tragic happened, a great man, a man who will remain a giant, died. I still see some of the injustices he fought against. However, that tragic event gave birth to a flood of awaking and opportunities that has changed the world.

Dr. King’s message is, I believe, even stronger today than it was in the 60’s. Today is Martin Luther King day, it’s a day we can be sad for the loss of a great man, or a day we can rejoice for the difference he made that we benefit from, no matter what our colour or creed is. Martin Luther King the man is gone.  However, I believe it is the strength of our heart’s desire to become the magnificent beings we were born to be that keeps taking this world, (despite what the media feeds us), to a place of knowing, what I believe Dr King was trying to teach us… we are all one. Nothing, and I mean nothing, can separate us from the truth of who we truly are, not racial profiling, not extremists of any colour or religious belief, not even war. Because who we truly are is… A gift!

Remember this always:

You are a gift from the universe, and when you are truly willing to know it, you will become the gift to THE world that you were born to be.

When you let yourself truly know this, then it that moment you are, I believe, keeping Martin Luther King’s Dream Alive

Happy Martin Luther King Day.

Long live Dr. Martin Luther King, in all our hearts, minds, and actions.

I look forward to your feedback and comments.

With gratitude,

I was recently in Bali and I’m sharing some video’s blogs with you.

Take a look, leave me your comments and tell your friends as I’ll be adding more over the next few weeks.

Here’s Lesson #1 from Bali, enjoy….

How people have you met since “the Secret” phenomenon who are bitching and moaning about how what they asked for just doesn’t show up?

Is that really true, or do they actually get exactly what they asked for and they can’t even see it?

Manifestation is not some magical process where the universe reads your mind and knows ‘what you really mean by that.”

Listen, you, me, no one, can manifest specifics with a general request.

Stay with me here because I really want you to have what it takes for you to have what you want to want you. Like I just said; no one, can manifest specifics with a general request, so you need to specifically know what it is that you want in every detail.

Once you have specifically outlined what it is that you want, then you can begin designing a plan to achieve it. In the words on one of my songs from the album “Resonantions” (available on iTunes) “Get Clear.”  Please pay attention here because I have a warning for you.  The ego-mind may have some challenges with your actually achieving that outcome and it may try to sabotage you by whispering stuff in your ear that will take you off target. So to make sure you stay on target I implore you to keep a success journal, ( like the one that comes with EFM Audio Tech) and monitor your progress.

DO NOT change what it is you are going for until you achieve it. That way you can acknowledge your success. I can’t over stress the importance of this. If you keep changing your desired outcome, how will you ever know when you achieve it? Make sense?

To achieve truly living in and from a place of abundance, what you desire cannot remain something you’d merely like….

How many times have you heard people watch someone do something say, “I’d really like to do that.” Then that same person walks away and you know as well as I do that they will never do anything about they say they’d “like to do.”

To bring whatever it is that you want into your life, you must develop an insatiable hunger for it.

That means, for a while, it’s all that matters. You vigilantly watch the ego-mind; you refuse to be taken off track. You know your direction and you will allow nothing to move you from it.  At that point, all obstacles are viewed as challenges to be overcome, with each one giving you a renewed sense of focus. You meet difficulties with the mindset that there’s always a way to overcome them, and moreover, you are committed to finding it. You approach, go through and attend to your outcome without the option of griping or complaining. You keep moving forward, you make it a “must” and as a result it will happen. Guaranteed!

That being said, the obvious question is “What do you want?”

I look forward to meeting you in person during 2010.

With Gratitude,

Okay, the party is over and we’re all back at work, now what?

Do we get back in the groove that sets the rut? Or do we set in motion a locomotion of unstoppable resolve?

Now that the door of 2010 has opened do you find yourself hiding in a corner afraid of what’s on the way? Are you there at the brink ready to bolt over the line, feeling your foot come down into the certainty of where you will ride this Tiger of a year, because you have, in advance, taken the time to decide the direction of your 2010 .

Almost everyone gets some level of excitement at the prospect of a New Year, (even if it’s just as a reprieve from the last one). However; entering into anything with merely “hope”, Is a lot less than a plan for success.

What are your Goals and commitments for 2010 ?  Whether your goals and commitments are in the areas of finances, health and fitness, career, or relationships, the question worth asking yourself is: Do you actually want to fulfil yours this year? What if there was a simpler, effortless way to do that?  What if it were as easy as listening to some CDs and writing down your goals? Would you do it?

Before you say it could not possibly be that easy, know this:

You’re Right!

It doesn’t matter how many times you put my Resonating Riches CD program, or EFM Audio Technology or for that matter any program into the CD player, just listening is not ever going to be enough!

But part of what gets in the way of people’s success is that they come to believe that accomplishing goals has to be hard, it has to hurt . However, as thousands have experienced before you, with the right guidance, it could be a heck of a lot easier.

keep reading and you’ll understand how and why…

I want to help you keep your Goals and Commitments this year and avoid the disillusion that comes from setting half-assed goals that don’t really matter, and in fact stand in the way of your complete authentic and joyous success.

As I’ve spoken about in other posts and at some of my leadership programs: It is important to pay attention to our rituals . Much of what we do, we do ritualistically. We do things over and over again and we do them to invoke an outcome . Whether that outcome is a change in our mind state that leads to a hangover or one that leads to greater and greater levels of success , all rituals are about invoking a “preferred state change” either within ourselves or our reality.

There are personal and societal rituals that we make personal. One of those society rituals has been to set “New Years Resolutions .” The purpose of which has been to invoke that “preferred state change” either within ourselves or our reality.

Sadly, all too often many people think that their looks, talents and simply making the resolution will be enough to propel them to higher ground. All too often these are the people whose ”wishful thinking” will have them do little more than splutter over the starter line.

The fact is: Nothing is more common than unsuccessful individuals brimming with talent.

If you have ever set a New Years Resolution or Goals or you know people who have, you are probably wondering: Why do so many people fail when it comes to fulfilling their Goals and New Years Resolutions?

The #1 Reason: First and foremost without even realizing it… Most people are setting goals that are not their own!

I can not make this more simple and I know it seems obvious: Whatever goals or resolutions you set for 2010 make sure they are your own!

Quite simply, take a minute or two and really question your goals… Are they really about you, (who you really are)?  Or are they the goals you are setting in order to be liked a little more by your brothers, sisters, friends, bosses, peers, or even mom and dad?

(By the way, to your ego mind approval is golden, so anyone’s approval will do).

The fact is, anyone can come up with a set of goals that sound right. But it’s worth checking with yourself to truly find out if they are goals aimed at getting approval rather than truly making you happy.

If you are unconsciously setting goals that are not in resonance with who you really are, you are likely to find a way to not reach them or at the very least sabotage the process of reaching them.

A few years ago I was working with a guy we’ll call Paul. Paul at that time was a successful corporate Vice President , who had a goal to buy a particular model of a new Mercedes .

I helped him to get absolutely clear on the specifics of what he wanted: model, year, color of both the exterior and interior and many other details that would make it absolutely real for him. By the time we were done, he could describe the exact sound the air made as it left when the car door closed.

Paul’s ’goal’ was to get the car by March 1st. This was something that was a stretch, but with everything in place it was definitely doable.  March 1st came and went, as did the entire month, and then April and May. When I asked him why he thought he had not manifested what he wanted, he gave me a long list of what he called ‘reasons’ and I called ‘excuses’.

My statement to him was that ‘it’ (the car), clearly didn’t matter enough to him. If it did, he would have done whatever it took to have gotten the car. Paul wanted to argue about it, until I asked him the question I’m now asking you:

Who’s approval do you make up you will get by achieving this goal?

t was like I’d slapped Paul in the face with a wet cod . He was stunned by the list of names that fell out of his mouth. There was a guy at work who had made a snide comment about how he thought Paul was doing better than to be driving what he was presently driving. There was his dad, who had always wanted a Mercedes but had never been able to afford one. There was even some woman he had the hots for ten years ago; she thought Mercedes were sexy.

Do you get it?

Sure, Paul ‘liked’ Mercedes and he certainly wouldn’t mind driving one. But, in truth, there was no genuine passion there ; it was not something that mattered enough to him. The reason Paul didn’t manifest what he ‘desired’ was there was no personal juice to fuel what it would take to bring that thing into his life.

Paul, like most people, had unconsciously set a goal that was more about ‘what other people would think’ than it was about what he truly, soulfully wanted .

If you’re on a few “Self-Help” lists, you’re probably getting a lot of input on how to ‘properly’ set goals for 2010. I am sure they are all full of great stuff, but here are the basics: It is important to have a goal written down. Goals in your head tend to mutate into things that, A) we will never reach or B) we’ll just settle for.

In the words of Mark Victor Hansen (co-author of the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series)

“Don’t Just Think It, Ink It!”

Listen, this coming year, I predict , will be a defining year for so many people. I believe It will be a year where you will need a better plan, more commitment and a heck of a lot more flexibility . For that reason it is equally important to make your goals and resolutions totally and absolutely have deep personal meaning . When you make that goal or resolution, be specific!

Go into the details , get all your senses involved … What would it look like , sound like, smell like, taste like, feel like to touch , and most important of all what would it feel like, to have ‘it’ in your life?

Whatever your goals are, ask yourself:

• What would my life look like having met this goal?
• Having met this goal what do I hear around me?
• What do I smell?
• What is the taste in my mouth?
• What am I touching now that lets me know I have fulfilled the outcome of my goal?
• What does it feel like to know I have become what I had a goal of becoming?

Now that I’ve given you some of the reasons why so many people fail at achieving their goals , let’s get into the next powerful tip that make achieving your goals a certainty:

Take out a sheet of paper, (I find there is a deeper emotional connection when we write by hand).

Write down as many reasons as you can about “why” you deeply want this specific goal.

What is it that makes having this in your life so important to you?

If you can’t get emotionally charged by what it is you are going for, chances are you will find a way to NOT get it!

It is this directed emotion that sets up the quantum resonance wave that draws to you every opportunity to fulfill your desire . The drive to keep going, to accomplish your goal or resolution is not in the thing itself, it’s the “reasons why” that will power you through the obstacles, (and make no mistake, there will be obstacles.)

Whether it’s personal , business , health, relationship , make the goal specific, and emotionally charged , because that’s what creates compelling goals that pull you towards what you want and what you want towards you!

Having gone through this Goals Blueprint let me ask you to remember:
Whatever you dream of having in life… more money, more romantic and fun relationships, a booming business or fulfilling career… whatever it is… start your journey today toward making your New Years Goals a reality in 2010.

Start now!

Take out your pen and paper and begin applying what I’ve given you in this blueprint that Makes Achieving Your Goals a Certainty .

Thanksgiving; a wonderful opportunity to return to gratitude…  Love is Gratitude in Action

Isn’t it strange that we need an actual holiday to remind us to be thankful?

I know that many of you who read my articles don’t live in the US and for many, where you live there is no such holiday as ‘Thanksgiving’.  However, wherever you are in the world, please accept my gratitude as you read on you’ll know why I’m specifically talking to you .

I know that at this time of year you’re probably pretty busy however,  I think you will see that by investing a few minutes to read this article will prove well worth your time.
No matter what country you are living in, right now, let me ask you to be honest and answer this question:

How much time do you spend in genuine gratitude?

I’m sure you’ve noticed that very day there seems to be a million new things to do, every day it can seem difficult to slow down enough so you can catch a little down time.  Maybe you turn on the TV to unwind, only to once again be assaulted with the news of doom and gloom.

Most of the time, most people are running around like chickens with their heads cut off doing more and more, while feeling less and less connected, to themselves or anyone else.
The result is that most people are running on empty!
So, in a crazy hectic world what can we do to fill up a little?

Right now let me challenge you to STOP and take a moment to become aware of the blessings in your life.

There is a wonderful ‘new’ movement of interest in manifestation.
Perhaps you have read about it in my books or have heard me talk about it either at a workshop, my podcasts or in a tele-program: Quantum Resonance energy is the necessary ingredient for manifestation.  Well, one of the most powerful quantum energies for manifestation is gratitude.

Okay, you need to stop skimming for a moment and really take this in, because by gratitude I mean genuine heartfelt, preferably eyeball-to-eyeball or at least heart-to-heart connection. In other words, delivered with real meaning rather than some perfunctory…”thanks“.

Recognizing what you have and genuinely appreciating it does not have to be built on guilt or the complacency of ; ‘I don’t have the right to ask for more, I’m so much better off than those less fortunate’.

Genuine appreciation can come from stopping and considering all the things that go by each day that can so easily get taken for granted; the smile on a child’s face as they say ‘hello’ or ‘goodbye’ to you.

Getting a call from your partner, friend, sibling, or family member to genuinely ask how you are doing. Being able to breath and smelling the flowers or even coffee.

How about gratitude for having the strength to do what you need to and desire to do.  Or knowing there is someone, somewhere who loves you.  Receiving kindness, whether it was a smile, food, a kind word, a gentle kiss, or even this article.

I’ve been speaking around the world to thousands of people for many years now and I want to stop and say:

This Thanksgiving and everyday, I am grateful for you… Yes, I am talking to you!

If you’ve been following my work at all you already know that I have a dream…

My dream is to raise consciousness. Now you may be saying; “what the heck does that mean?”

Raising consciousness means being able to assist people all over the world in knowing that they are truly powerful, that you have the power to create the life that your heart and soul cries out to live.

I am truly grateful to you because through you I get to live my dream, my purpose, my mission. You, my friends, spiritual family, students and unstoppable team are the fuel that moves me forward. I know that I am the voice of something bigger than myself and you carry that voice

out into the world and in so doing, share in my mission, my dream, my purpose.  I am truly grateful because maybe, just maybe, I have had some influence in waking up your soul, in inspiring your heart, in letting you know you are truly magnificent!

I am grateful to you…You, who are committed to growth. You, who are no longer willing to settle for mediocrity. You, who stand up and fight to be free, even from the prison of your mind.

I believe that the education we offer at Baron Mastery Institute is a way out of the mental emotional jails we can lock ourselves in.

Thank you for inspiring me with your feedback, emails, phone calls, photos,  testimonials, courage, vulnerability and your stories of how your life has changed using the skills, tools and knowledge you received from us at Baron Mastery Institute.

I love taking the time to read and hear them all. They are all fuel in my tank to keep going.

Your work on yourself and your support of our collective mission keeps me believing we can raise the consciousness of this magnificent planet.

Thank you to my beloved bride, best friend and partner, the sweetness in my life and my guru of kindness, my inspiration: Renuka.
Each day I am grateful for her and for the work I did to clear my poop in order to attract this amazing woman into my life more than a decade ago.
Renuka, you are the light in my heart, my greatest inspiration and biggest supporter, you have held me when I could have been crushed and in that moment your love and strength kept me walking my path when I felt crippled…thank you!
May I suggest that once a year, maybe right now:

Take out your pen and journal and write a list of whom and what you are grateful for.

Once you have done that, I would suggest that you  go and buy some thank you cards and write notes of gratitude. At least send an email or make a phone call to those people. (I like cards because some people are uncomfortable taking in gratitude and nobody can interrupt or dismiss written words).

Someone said to me once “it must be wonderful to touch all these people’s lives”.  My reply was and still is that it is wonderful, however, what is equally wonderful is that you touch mine just as much.

Thank you from the depths of everything I am and all I can become.
I look forward to meeting you for the first time or seeing you again soon.

Remember; nothing can crush you unless you allow it…
Aspire to greatness for that is your true nature!
Your value far outweighs your circumstances.

With my love and sincere gratitude,
Dõv…
