This short You Tube video has so many life lessons.
He talks about success, commitment, fear, giving back, helping others, and what are you willing to die for?
If you made a video about your beliefs, what would it sound like?
Something to think about. Great video, well worth the 9 minutes. Please take a look.
To living your inspired life,

I recently heard this group, Gypsy Soul, perform in Phoenix, Arizona. I was so inspired by their music I requested permission to post the words of one of their songs on my blog. I was so moved by the words and music in this song, “Be the Change”, it seems to lift me higher and touch every other part of my life. I listen to this song and sing along with it everyday. Not often does one song touch me so deeply and have such a profound influence on my daily life. See what it does for you.
I have attached a link to their website so you can see and hear this beautiful music video. Click on the MySpace link on their site to hear this song.
Be the change that you desire:-) And be inspired.

BE THE CHANGE
(Cilette Swann / Roman Morykit)
We are flesh and bone and
We are parts unknown
We are ashes, we are dust
We are rogues and kings
We are bold extremes
We are jury, we are judge
We are strength and heart
Though we are miles apart
We are one, we are love
I have been aware of this creed for many years now. It is suggested that you read it daily, if not twice a day.
I recently found this creed printed in Dr. Joe Vitale’s new book,
“Attract Money Now.”

Optimist Creed by Christian D. Larson
Promise Yourself…
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.
To give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes.. During that time approx. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.
4 minutes later:
the violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk..
6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
10 minutes:
A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.
The Secret of Happiness
Happiness is a choice. It’s true. You can choose to let life’s circumstances get you down or you can choose to be happy no matter what challenges life brings.
Happiness is already within each of us and we are born to be naturally happy! For example, have you ever noticed how infectious a baby’s giggle is? So why is it that, as we get older, we forget where to find happiness within ourselves and, instead, allow outside forces to determine our happiness?
You can determine your own happiness by following these simple strategies:
* When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Cliché, I know, however it’s so true. You don’t have to let life’s troubles and problems get you down. Yes, there will always be troubles because no one is perfect, but you can choose your reaction to situations. Look at the positive side of things and work hard to see the good in people and circumstances.
* Find something you love to do and do it. Do you have a lifelong dream or desire? If so, start working toward it. Taking baby steps towards a dream or goal will help you feel like you’re accomplishing something. You’ll find drive and determination to reach that goal when it’s something you love to do.
* Do you have a gift or talent you’re not using? One reason so many people are unhappy is that they’re not doing what they’re called to do with their God-given talents. Each and every one of us has a purpose in life. You have natural gifts and talents to help you achieve your purpose, so use your gifts effectively!
I just received this email from a friend. It inspired me to share it with all of you. It’s not about internet marketing, but it is about life and personal growth.
Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio
“To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I’ve ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:
I was just contacted by L.O.A. teacher Bob Doyle (you
might remember him from the movie “The Secret” or know of
his Wealth Beyond Reason program). And what he shared with
me inspired me into action. Here’s why…
Because, Bob explained to me that it was just a few years
ago that he was struggling to have his life go the way he
wanted even though…
He had seen SOME success in putting the Law of Attraction
to work, he had failed at creating any real changes in his
life. Then he discovered something that made a 1000%
difference in the everyday results he was getting.
He shared with me that he went from being in debt $70,000
to being debt free and having a high six figure income only
a year later after discovering what was missing. This
prompted him to help others and to refine his discovery.
Bob Doyle developed a program to help you make your dreams a reality. He knows from personal experience that it takes the right mindset beyond the technical skills to run a business. He teaches from the heart from his own experiences and uses the Law of Attraction principles to turn your passions into profits. Follow the link below to:
Find Inner Peace away from Chaos
Life can be hectic and full of stress, if we don’t stop now and then to take a few minutes for ourselves. With the invention of computers, and the internet, our work lives were supposed to get easier, but it’s gotten busier and more fast paced than ever before!
Originally, computers were supposed to allow us to get the same amount of work done in half the time. That idea went out the window when we realized we could now get twice the work (or more) done in the same time.
Now our world has become so fast paced that it’s hard to keep up. If you don’t stop for a moment now and then, you can begin to feel as if your life is descending into a chaos. Luckily, there are ways to deal with these overwhelming feelings and put some order back into your life.
Here are a few tips on how to turn your busy life around:
1. Take a break. Give yourself a chance to take in everything going on around you. Even if your break is a nice hot bath instead of a shower, it can help.
Things are not always as they appear on the outside. Talent and passion comes from within. When expressed from the heart it reaches out to others and touches the soul. This powerful force captures us and holds us to an illuminated present moment in awe…
That rare experience holds us spellbound with an unexpected joy and desire to stay right where we are.
It’s at that moment that we feel the connection to another and a deep felt appreciation for their seemingly casual and unassuming authenticity in being just who they are..
