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, where ever you are I am sending you my gratitude.

I know this article is a bit longer than usual but I think you will see that by investing a few minutes to read will prove well worth your time.

No matter what country we live in, right now let me ask you this:  

How much time do you spend in genuine gratitude?

On a daily basis most people you are bombarded: There seems to be a million new things to do every day and so you try and catch a little down time.  Maybe you turn on the telly only to once again be assaulted with the doom and gloom of what we are told is a failing economy.

Most of the time, most people run around like chickens with their heads cut off doing more and more, feeling less and less connected to themselves or anyone else. The result is that most people are running on empty!

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 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. 

Now please pay attention; 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”.

We live in a time of pusuing more and more, and there is nothing wrong with wanting more of your heart’s desires. 

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

Think of 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, smelling the flowers or even coffee. How about, 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 I am grateful for you… Yes you!

You see 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 for.

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 unstopable 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 to 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, testimonials, courage, vulnerability and your stories of how your life has changed using the skills, tools and knowledge you received.

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

Your support keeps me going, 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!

I suggest that once a year: Take out your pen and journal and write a list of whom and what you are grateful for.

Once you have done that you can go and buy some thank you cards and write a note of gratitude, or at least send an email or make a phone call to these 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…

       Hold on to your infinite strength that your soul possesses!

Your value far outweighs your circumstances.

With my love and sincere gratitude,

Dõv…

Today I’m excited as I’m getting ready… “Deep” starts tomorrow morning and I know with all certainty that I have no way of knowing who these people will discover they are underneath the mask of their conditioning.  What I do know is I’m excited to stay on purpose and let it all unfold.

Just imagine waking up on some beautiful morning in the very near future…

You awaken excited and energized to meet the day. You stay lying down so that you can just soak in the deep gratitude of being able to do what you do on a daily basis.

As the gratitude wells up in your chest a long slow tear leaks out of your closed right eye. There is no sadness; this is a tear of pure gratitude. Your life is so different because you finally did it, you finally said “yes” to your commitment of not only facing your fear but also to continue to face it as it comes up.

You see over the years you got smart enough to realize that even after you commit to something the fear doesn’t go away. In fact there are times when it intensifies. You think about your first steps into it, and how absolutely terrified you were. Thank goodness there was at least one person you could trust to kick your ass if you wavered, one person who believed in you and what you could do despite what was apparently lacking.

           As you lay there awash in that gratitude you think about how long you waited and immediately there is a part of you that wants to give you a hard time for waiting. Quickly you feel that gratitude and self criticism are mutually exclusive and immediately you reel in your mind, going right back the feeling of gratitude. You begin to think about all the lives you have touched both directly and indirectly, since you got clear about making the decision.

It’s easy to think of all the people you know who never make that decision. Why, you ask. Why, don’t they just get up and do it? You know why: Fear. Fear is the dream killer, and fear wears many masks and one of them is “I will do it once I’m certain what it is that I must do.

But you’ve gotten smarter than that, you know that that’s not how it works. From somewhere deep within you remember the story of the master takes the apprentice to the edge of the cliff and tells the apprentice to jump. The apprentice with terror running through every vain says “No I’ll fall and die”. The master simply replies: “What if you fly”? And gives the student a little push.

Looking for your life’s purpose can be a great way to stay busy enough to never fulfill it!

Sometimes you’ve just got to be willing to go in the direction of. There is any number of ways of finding your purpose, doing what you came here to do etc. It’s important to stay open to the clues, listen to your intuition etcetera. However, a major factor of discovering your purpose is this; be open to everything and attached to nothing.

Many of the most successful and happy people I know are in their 50’s and 60’s and they still don’t know what they want to do when they grow up. This however does not stop them living something that maybe even more important than living your life’s purpose: Living a purposeful life!

In order to be living a purposeful life:

 Start each day knowing that there will be fear and say ‘so what’, there will also be love. Each day could contain tears, ‘so what’, that same day can also contain laughter, so choose to live a life of purpose.

The fact is that living your life on purpose means you wake up each morning with a commitment to feel grateful that you are doing just that; living your life on purpose. We can move forward with clear focus toward what we want to achieve and that could be money, possessions or status, but always remember what you, we all of us are actually want is a “feeling” and you can start by deciding what feeling you want to start each day with and then deciding to create it. Take a deep breath and as you breath out step off the cliff and you’ll discover you can fly. Be willing to be surprised at how often something wonderful and wondrous shows up…

Leave me your comments and feedback about finding your life’s purpose and living purposfully below, I look forward to hearing from you.

With deep gratitude and sincere purpose,

Dov…

Do you have the stones to deal with it?

You could avoid it heck, that’s what most people will do, and if you want to be just like everyone else you can tell yourself..’it’s okay’.  But if you know there is something within you that’s been fighting to get out, (your real self, your authentic self), It’s time to take action…

The path of least resistance is lined with the corpses of the mediocre.

Just think about that statement for a sec.

To become free we must be able to overcome the obstacles that appear before us. Telling yourself and anyone else who will listen, how tough it is, does nothing but validate that it’s okay to quit on yourself.

Those who don’t have the courage to stand up for who they really are and what they really want, die having lived lives that are, at best, half lived and all too often sadly forgotten.

These are the forgotten lives of the mediocre, whose fear of offending others has ruled them like a cruel master.

Now, it’s important that you understand something here.

All courage is subjective; so, what’s easy for one person is not necessarily easy for another. It could be the most difficult thing in the world for them.

Stop and take a moment now to acknowledge the courage you’ve already displayed in your life, and at the same time turn your back on complacency.

Because celebrating your success is an excellent thing to do; however, staying in celebration mode when it’s time to move on is like wearing your Christmas hat in February; it gets a little stale.

You know what you’ve got to do, and you know that no excuse will ever really do. So stop with the excuses because I’m sorry to say, no one is really listening to the excuses anyway.

The quality of your life is not measured by the quality of your excuses…

The quality of your life is measured by your commitment in spite of all the great excuses you could come up with.

Listen, It’s never quite the right time, there is always going to be another place that needs the money, and there will always be someone who thinks your crazy for even considering ‘it.’

I don’t know what ‘it’ is that you need to do to fulfill your purpose, heal your soul or make a difference. What I do know is this; we rarely know the value of something until we’ve been through it! And when you look back on your life, no excuse will have been good enough for you to feel good about not doing what your soul cried out for.

I care about you, not your excuses.

In all sincerity, Dov…
