When I Think Of Daddy

Less tears,

more smiles

more of a feeling of peace

I know how blessed I was to have such an example

to have such gentle kind man as my father.

He was present.

talk about 80% is showing up.

Daddy showed up

Such blessed to see faithfulness lived out before

So blessed that that is my default pattern.

Simply blessed.

less judgement more acceptance

no yelling only loving conversation

A true saint

 A Man 0% separation from the Holy spirit.

What a Man even though I watch him live it.
It still amazes me.

love you Daddy and Thank you for being the best human I know.

Happy Birthday

Truth Is Timeless

Mans religion and doctrines may be watered down skewed and misinterpreted.
But the power for God and  the nature of the spiritual
Has been consistence and true since the beginning of time.

Giving

Once you know how to give to your self
 you may have an better understanding of how to give to others.

“The One“ True love!!

Had a dear friend ask me how do you know if some one is “the one“?

How did I know that Erika was “the one“.

First off, there is no such thing as “the one“. unless your talking about the one you choose.

Deep committed love is a choice we choose daily the moment you stop choosing it no longer exists. Even if it’s after twenty years. Everything you had was done in vain. Harsh but true. That reality is what make “great” life long marriages such a rare union.

That’s why, If you can find someone that chooses to love after they really get to know who you are. You have got a very good thing, cherish it.

It doesn’t matter if God shines a light and anoints your true love with pixy dust and pure frankincense oil. Or you go to the bar and say Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" catch a tiger by his toe if he holler’s take him home.


During the course of being married you both will be hurt each other.
It's up the you to continue choosing that person daily. Of course forgiveness, a wiliness to change thing you can actually change, and think of your partner first is essential.


A rock solid marriage, not this mysterious extreme attraction that people magically share. That will last 60 years
It’s being willing to treat each other with kindness and care on the days when you are moody. Very easy to say….

It’s not romantic but it’s the foundation that make flowers, chocolate and diamond rings actually mean something.

Almost A Year Later

Last year few days before I was scheduled to release my book (P.O.O.P.) Power Of Outrageous Perspective my father was killed in a suddent acident while working on his truck. So a year later  I  finally am releasing the First collection of my art in book form.

Freedom

Liberal or conservative  this should resonate with us all

Freedom is expensive, but can we afford the alternative.

What Would Change

How much would we get done, if we stopped focusing on other peoples, drama, problems, projects. What if we put all of our energy toward our projects our health our life our family….what would change.

What would our life look like. If we committed to living the best life we can possibly live. If we stopped taking the B.S. of toxic people.

We probably find an enormous amount of joy in our life. And time to spend with people who care for us as much as we care for them.

Empty Your Cup

If 80% is showing up.

The other 20% would be to bring your whole self to the game and

 emptying your cup every time.

The Next You

We don’t need the next lady Gaga

we need the next you.

And I love lady Gaga.

But we need your art.

Loneliness

No one wants to admit, that they are lonely,

but our actions, are a tell all.

FB is for lonely people. And that’s ok!!

Here’s the deal it’s ok to be lonely…..we crave connection. It’s real and human.

Permission to be lonely granted!!

Suggestions.
start non lonely behavior

start a meet up group

call people back when you say you will

write a hand written cards to people you love

be human and reach out.

We create busyness to distract us for our loneliness

Some times it ok to be alone for a season.

Meet some one for coffee.

Join people face to face on a regular.

Spend time with people who care for you.

Care about people first

Don’t compromise for any substitutes.


You and your time is precious. 　

Cocaine

Growing up, our parents sold us on the harsh effect of hard core cocaine use and other various drugs.

So it never occurred to us, why some one would consider using in the first place.

The long term damage was compelling enough for us to not be curious.



Parents have to have master selling skills.

The World Does Revolve Around You

When you think about it, you are the center of everything. No matter where you look, you are still in the middle. You are the center of it all and always will be.
How the world and people respond to you is in your hands.

Why Are You Hopeless

Case A).

People that have actually been effected
by the economic crisis (folk that have lost there home or job
They live in a tent).

Case B.
 Then there are the folks who haven’t been “actually” effected by the economic landscape and some how act as though they have been effected by the economic crisis, because other people have “actually” been effected.

I see people from 2008 till now, who have not been touched in any area of their life. But wade daily in the negative stream of contagious talk of how the sky is falling.

Dear case B,
Why are we hopeless and angry? If we have not been touched by our economic recession why do we so willingly participant in the recession. When it’s not our actual reality.

Our current economic state, is an accumulation of many things. One in particular, years of living the accelerated version of the American Dream.

Good news…..we have way more power to affect our economy, then we give our selves credit. Here is the hard part we are 100% responsible for everything that is in our life. We are 100% responsible  for how we respond to things that happen to us in our life. We get to choose to say, it was done too me or for me.
　
　
We didn’t get to this place over night. So it won’t go away over night or in a few years. When this revolution is over, it won‘t be a question of getting back to normal. The question is what did you do, with this once in a life time chance to “affect” our world.
Embrace your power!! own your power!!
　

　
　
　
　
　

The Chief Of One

Chief listener or chief complainer, your choice!

What’s Better Then Hope.

Positive results.

We get frustrated and focused on all that is wrong.

When we do this we are taking valuable time and energy
away from being apart of the solution.

We don’t get to be effective at both, we will be apart of the
peanut gallery or the solution team.

If It is Broke

There are many things that no longer work, in this new economic landscape. So feel free to try something new…. If it doesn’t work try something else.

Intelligent Sale

Intelligent questions reap high sales numbers,every time.
Good listening skills, help with asking the right questions.

Let Go You Will Feel Better.

The power, freedom and peace you gain by letting go of : damaging Ideas, habits, toxic drama filled relationships. Counter productive belief systems Is extremely worth your while. Fear not!!! Go with courage.

DNA Of The All Star Team

Each team mate has a specialty.

Everyone on the team is a superstar in there own right.

Each member is a leader.

Each member embraces high ethics.

An amazing ability to execute, get work done and out the door.

"Egos" are in check.

The Sign Of A Pro.

Artist, Sales Reps, Athlete, Speaker, Etc.

They practice ( always sharpening their skills)

They a are committed to life of learning

How long does it take to become a pro. at least ten years of working at your craft.

Typically, with pro's. ego's are in check.

Money nor Fame

Fame and money don’t change you….it may amplify what is already there.....but it doesn’t change you.

The Best Time

The best time to start a project that is lingering in your heart is when you don’t feel like executing.

Our Real Time World

We use to live in a fast pace world….we still live in a fast pace world. what has change is our world doesn’t turn off Our world is also in real time and it’s constant. Funny how many texts I get. 3:00am and I don’t get a lot.

How to love the idiot you work for

Understand that he has mental and social limitation and he doesn’t have tools to be any different. Also the corporate system is not made for good human interaction When he screams ,whines and is nasty. He truly can’t do any better.
Know that your time at your dead end job is just a season and it's not about how your boss is treating you....but what you can learn (gain) from the situation.
That perspective shift from victim to scholar is key. It's all about what you gain. What did you learn from a toxic or immature person, there is always something taken away.
Frustrating yes, but the clarification sometimes helpful. Don't let a negative person hinder you  from projecting your positive energy and love. easier said then done.

 Be encouraged.Good Read on this topic Pamela Slim Escape from Cubicle Nationhttp://www.escapefromcubiclenation.com/

What we can learn from Madonna

Once you get pass the pole riding crotch grinding 50 year old with a six pack. She is insanely committed to her craft.
What if Christians took Madonna’s level of commitment and stop spending as much time posting on face book how much they hate Obama.
What if we re-channeled that energy toward expressing love and compassion. I am amazed at how much hate is put out on face book, by Bible toting believers.
Before you email me a nasty emails (pause) and look how you can make the world a better place. Look in your hand and see what you can give. I am not interested in talking,  but what are you doing.
The actual real issues in America and the world can not be solved by one man. No other candidate would have done any better.
We act as though there is a person that can cure all of our problems. It’s ridiculous to go down that road.

I know we need some one to blame and it’s very convenient to blame Obama or the Federal Govt.
My challenge to you is what are you going to do!! Not say, but actually do!!. Out side of whining and voting what action are you going to take to create a secure future for the ones you love
I am going to listen more and act more.
　

Follow Through

It’s amazing how powerful follow through is. Doing what you say your going to do.
It puts you in an amazing positions when people can count on you. You also gain real loyalty. This is scalable in your business and personal life. Learn not to commit to something unless you will follow through.

Why The Idiot You Work For Still Has A Job

Your company is lazy… It’s easier to manage insecure people who do what they are told. They keep the status quo and jump when ever the regional manager says jump.
Upper management has bought into the idea of managing Ducks instead of hiring Eagles and moving out of the way.
　

Kick Ass Ministry

Some one once told me that they were broke and it sucked!! I agree being broke is not fun….but don’t let it paralyze you.

When I asked what would change if they weren’t broke
They told me they would have a kick ass ministry, also they would be able to go on really cool dates with their wife and be in a really cool band.

Here’s the deal……You don’t get a "Kick Ass" ministry because you want one. It’s a merging process of giving in a matter that meets peoples needs. When it resonates and adds value to peoples lives it grows.

Ministry on a fundamental level is service (giving). So decide what you want to give and give it. Your ministry might be giving out bottled water, sounds lame! try it!!!
You want to have really cool dates, go to star bucks spend $5 split a drink. Write your dreams on a napkin and plot your assault on the world. It’s about the time you spend together. Not cool enough for you. I dare you to try it.

You want to be in a really cool band. Unless you have been in around forever, have some insane connections and resources.

Your probably not going to have a rockin’ band tomorrow. Get use to being not so kick ass for while. You must be willing to suck and make mistakes. If you really love the music you will probably stick with it until you get really good and can attraction other amazing musicians.

The hardest part is not being really good it’s having enough courage to start.

Why Move

This is not a musical town. If you want to do music you should move to a musical town.
Why move, If your town is not a musical town then people may be hungry for some culture and there maybe a chance to create something special.
Make it a musical town.

when music is plenty, there are small oportunities to gain traction and attention.

Pass It On

What ever you learn, create or bake. Isn’t worth much. If you can’t pass It on.

The Idiot You Work For

How do we deal with an immature, insecure, toxic, idiot boss….. Never reacted how they want you to reacted, ever!! and work on designing a life that does not require a boss.

Noble Pain

Sometimes we do things that cause us pain, we tell ourselves we (must) because it's the noble thing to do…..These activities many times waste time and distract us from doing meaningful work. We rest in the comfort, that we are suffering for a noble cause.
Sometimes there is no real nobility. Its more of an issue of comfort and fear. Fear of doing meaningful work that might fail or even worst succeed. And comfort in having an excuse which guards us from doing this work .

Addicted to breathing

Take the presure off of ourselves we are human....addiction is human nature.!! Breath see things as they are.
not less then they are, and not more then they are.

Soul Tribe

It will take listening to our soul to know which tribe we belong too.
