25.01.2022 You approach makes all the difference

23.01.2022 Interesting graphic of Hearing and health.

23.01.2022 From.my friend and mentor Richard Wilkens: The greatest question of them all: ...Why am I here?... You are here to find treasure - within yourself... ...NOT treasure within someone or something else but within ‘yourself’... ...it’s not easy & many give up looking & return home empty handed... ...others are still looking in the wrong place when ‘time up’ is called... ...if you succeed before this game called life is over you must then help others find in themselves what you found in yourself... ...the reward is great when you find the treasure - it is: Peace. Remember: that which causes you to dig deepest within yourself is most likely to give up the greatest treasure. Enjoy my the hunt my wonderful ‘treasure hunter’. My tip is: do not be seduced into wasting your time looking beyond yourself. Wiz x

20.01.2022 "This is going to be a delicate one, but I’m going to mention it anyway. One of the great teachers of my life was a woman named Dawn Callan, teacher of a fabulo...us self-defense/empowerment workshop called Awaken The Warrior Within. In two days, Dawn could teach women more about self-defense than most instructors can in two years. She did this with a combination of simple techniques drilled endlessly for two days at high intensity, combined with spiritual therapy-group style introspection and sharing. Then, at the end, you practice your skills against a padded attacker, in a combat exercise that has to be experienced to be believed. INTENSE. Breakthrough stuff. I watched hundreds of women go through this process, including some who had been raped or abused. And they came out the other side with a sense of power and possibility that was astounding. Dawn was, in the space of that workshop, an avatar of power and responsibility and pure Goddess energy, fierce as Kali. About five two on the outside, and seven feet tall on the inside. Amazing woman. I asked her what was the hardest thing she had to face in helping these women (and later, men) through this challenge. And what she said blew my mind. With a woman who had been raped, her greatest challenge was getting her to take responsibility for what had happened. What? What the hell? She was very precise in her language. Responsibility. Not guilt, blame, or shame. Response-ability. The ability to respond. Without that, she believed, you were a victim forever. Taking responsibility for what HAD happened opened the door to taking responsibility for your future actions and behaviors and encounters. With that, you tap into your deeper perceptions, intuition, and pure animal survival drives from a spiritual perspective. Without that, all you can do is plead for help or mercy. And that was most definitely NOT where Dawn was coming from. And it was difficult because the natural tendency IS to confuse responsibility with guilt, blame, and shame. But if you remove those emotions, what have you? Commitment. A sense that, even if you cannot always see or understand the pattern, you have agency. But how can you embrace a philosophy like that? What of abused children? What of people born into unbelievable poverty? What of people born with childhood diseases? Can you ask them to take responsibility for any of that? You cannot demand it, no. And it is totally understandable that saying this can be uncomfortable. Even worse (much worse), some people use such a philosophy to justify cruelty or neglect. Why, they chose that miserable state... What the hell, indeed. And Dawn, a woman of titanic, ruthless compassion, understood that. So she would NEVER ask people to accept such a position until she had shifted their emotions to a powerful state in which they could view their lives out of the victim mindset. This is a tightrope. Huge. But every woman I saw cross it found something that she thought she had lost: a sense of power in her life. She could not change what had happened, but by God, she could take every ounce of that pain and turn it into motivation. Strength. Resolve. She could define what had happened to her as the trigger to turn her into a tiger committed to protecting ALL women, ALL children, and that she was willing to die before losing her commitment. Taking power like that, as hard as it clearly was, opened the door to a kind of power and clarity that was unique. Never seen anything like it. And if hundreds of women could do THAT, what was I being asked to do? To find a way to be grateful in the midst of pain. Was there a way? Could I even imagine looking back ten years from now and seeing ANYTHING to be happy about? Well, sure. Maybe .01% possibility, but... And if that was true, if there was only a single cold star in a bleak, black night sky, didn’t it behoove me to concentrate on that star, if doing so brought joy to my life, and that joy made me a better husband, and father, and writer, and coach, and then made me a more attractive, dynamic person, drawing in allies and opportunities, which then could lead to me getting out of Atlanta and back to L.A.? I could see the line of causality. I could grasp it. Could see how something analogous had worked in other circumstances. Had had the people I trust most in the world tell me, every one of them, that I had to find joy, peace, happiness, GRATITUDE where I was when I was, or I was on the wrong path. I could have my pain and anger and despair, or I could have my life. I just had to step away from the damage, not define myself by my ego trainwreck. I was not that. My life was not defined by that. I had agency. Had made choices. Could MAKE choices, if not in what had already happened, certainly in my interpretation. What does it mean? Who am I? What is true? And if I could line that up so that every event was empowering, even the negative ones (if for no other reason than I HAD LEARNED THE LESSON AND SURVIVED), then everything that had ever happened to me in my life could be an empowerment. A doorway. A bridge. A motivator. Every enemy an ally. Every happenstance a miracle. Every day of my life a building block to the man I am today. And if I love that man, I must be grateful for all of it. To all of THEM. Forgiveness is not a gift to your enemies. It does not mean forgetting, or allowing them to hurt you again. It is a way to unburden your heart. If you learn the lesson, you can release the pain and fear. And what remains is love. And gratitude. For another day of life. For a strong, healthy body. For the people who love and trust me. For Jason, and Nicki, and my beautiful, brilliant wife. For the chance to help one more person by embracing the truth of my own existence. And the only cost for this lightness of being is giving up the need to be right. And the fear that if I don’t dump my negative emotions and fear onto others, it will rebound upon me. Could I be that strong? Could I? Well, if I was committed to being the man I’m committed to being, yes. If I am to be the father and husband I am committed to being, yes. The role model I’m committed to being. The friend. The writer. The coach. It made sense, even if I couldn’t quite attain it. So I did what I have done before: I made it a prayer. To God, to my own Higher Self--you decide. I don’t care. God, I said. I’m going to give up my anger. I’m going to take the leap. I can’t see what is in front of me, it’s a leap into a fog bank. All I ask is that you either catch me, or, if there are rocks down there, let me hit them before I see them. And I jumped, into a world of love, and acceptance, and gratitude. And was caught. And transformed." -Steve Barnes

06.01.2022 Some food for thought..... Some religious scripts talk about a place called ‘heaven’. Artist impressions I’ve seen, depict an idyllic environment where the streets are paved with gold, and angels float around on little white clouds while playing the harp. So lately I’ve been thinking........ If I could create my own ‘heaven’.....................? What would this place look like for you? What would you be DOING there? Feel free to expand your description as far and wide as you wish.... I would love to hear your opinions, and if you prefer, you can send your descriptions in a PM, All I can promise at this stage is a non judgemental, open and free two-way discussion..... All opinions are welcome!

05.01.2022 I love this analogy! You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? ... "Well because someone bumped into me, of course!" Wrong answer. You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea. *Whatever is inside the cup, is what will spill out.* Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled. *So we have to ask ourselves... what's in my cup?" When life gets tough, what spills over? Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility? Or anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions? You choose! Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.

02.01.2022 And that's why it's important to get both sides of the story.
