If I asked just about anyone if they thought themselves honest, they'd say "YES!" and they'd know they were lying. Because honest is not just "I don't lie" - a true north of honesty is that I don't lie to MYSELF. And who can say that? What IS it that measures how honest you are? It's YOU. No one or nothing else. The problem is most people's honesty gauge is malfunctioning due to lack of awareness and self-centered fear telling you it's OK to be dishonest - especially when it's for the Good of ALL.

Are you entering conversations trying to insure that you don't look stupid? Are you afraid you'll have nothing to say to defend yourself...when you don't HAVE to? Power in communication is in neutrality that can be felt in your emotions and your body. It is calm between what you believe and how capable you intrinsically ARE--not having to dominate any space with everything you KNOW about how the world works and how to fix it. Be present to be powerful for the kind of progress that leads to real peace.

Conviction, is not against, but FOR the rightness of what you believe in. It may seem to be too fixed, but what I'm seeking, in truth, is a demonstration which can be a beacon for people to be who they are. Being who you are means being present, aware and free. Distractions in our current world are so pervasive that people have become convicted in a too-closed and destructive way. Let's get back--through power and responsibly--to those personal convictions arising from values, openness and living healthy.

Everyone wants the world to change tomorrow. That task would be easy if you were willing to change yourself first. What that means is that each person takes it upon him/herself to find the places where they are stuck. Each person finds ways to move energy ... creating catharsis and metamorphosis in their own body, before thinking it's in their power to change the world. Digging deeper down IN YOU is the path to enlightenment. It's time to change the inside to gain the power needed for your life's mission.

How peaceful IS your life...truly? Are you creating problems by trying to be perfect? Do you spend too much time thinking about what other people think of you? When we don't do what's needed to find the power to live from true integrity and strong connection to our virtues, we feel lost no matter how purposeful our efforts to connect with others. It's about a peace and acceptance that can't be found in your head and in trying to be perfect or try to make everyone like you. THAT is a life worth living!

Without freedom there is no real autonomy to be able to do what makes one happy. Freedom cannot be obstructed without one's desire being affected negatively. Once you understand that you are ALWAYS free...that desire and vision are directing your life, your voice will not have the most powerful affect on others. Grow YOU so you can elevate others through your OWN example. Desire of this kind creates BIG change. Passion and enthusiasm comes from an energy that is alive inside you. Find your voice there.

Your dream is to be light years ahead of where you are. But you have no foundation and, worse, you can't even be in the moment, so when you get "there", you'll miss the achievement - and won't be happy - because you'll seek the next "there". If you pursue success with empty motives, it will be fleeting. Money is a finite measurement of abundance. True growth and lasting success is built from a foundation of power and an inner core of security. It's never lost because it's not a feeling...it's a knowing.

Your diet is what you consume, not what you are made of. Why this clarification on what kind of matter you are? Because people tend to think if they change what they consume, or how they express themselves, that a "bull" (or anything coming at them) will see them as different than who they are. Who you are expresses itself. Changing yourself won't stop misunderstanding or negative responses. We don't control the world and its actions. POWER is controlling ourselves and being who we want to be.

We keep talking about responsibility because it's so fundamental to vision and growth. Without owning your life in a responsible way, you'll be limited - in overcoming adversity, in feeling joy and in being successful. What DOES "being responsible" mean? HOW are we responsible? In this episode, we'll talk about being bodily, mentally and emotionally responsible. We'll come to accept the truth that responsibility leads to right action. And right action is what will determine your level of accomplishment.

Super...Beautiful...Fragile? Fragility is superbly beautiful in its purest form, such as when we are vulnerable yet confident, when we are in touch with ourselves and can meet others. These days, we are seeing fragility - in too many instances - as a weakness in form. Fragility when lacking in power is an attachment to ignoring the truth. It is a victim state that requires more security from others than is due anyone. Humanity comes with the acknowledgement of just how super-crazy resilient we really are.
