It’s about what you do
“Only the ideas that we actually live are of any value.” – Hermann Hesse Getting ahead means getting started. It means not only dreaming, discovering, and creating ideas, but also becoming passionate about their possibility, and igniting them with action. Thousands of people dream great ideas, every day.

“…if you can build a good name, eventually that name will be its own currency.” – William Burroughs (to Patti Smith) It’s not about the school you attended, or your resume, or where you live. It’s not about the car you drive or the last event you went to. It’s about you, the you people
Simple Solutions – 3 Questions to Change Your Life
I love simple solutions to seemingly complex issues, don’t you? So often we seem to complicate the daylights out of things by over-analyzing, dissecting and brainstorming. I gravitate toward simple solutions whenever possible.

What are the right questions that can lead you to find simple solutions? In particular, those that stimulate your mind to consider new possibilities or interrupt old established response patterns. Basically, any question stimulates actions…

I talk a lot about intuition on this spiritual awakening blog, so I thought now would be a good time to collect a few of the many blogs on that topic as well as a couple YouTube videos.

Piercing the Wound
You know what you're in for with this spirituality blog post. We're not dancing around issues. We're not coddling egos. We're going straight for it. Until a wound is pierced and the inner damage is seen, it will continue to be a wound. No alcohol, spiritual mantra, psychological coping mechanism, or any other tool can cover it up for long. This must be done. This is the courage required of you on the spiritual path.I often describe our wounds like broken bones. You cannot truly live with broken bones in your body. Your entire life has been compromised. But this is what we try to do. We also try to blame other people and the world…
