Adjusting the Lens Through Which You See the World



Change

Another amazing day at the prison yesterday... We are facilitating and mediating talks between rival gangs in one of the most dangerous prisons in the state-- some say the country. To watch these men learn to work together and make decisions that will save lives, is one of the most powerful things I've ever witnessed. Yesterday it was decided that they will allow me and my associate Gary to begin to teach in all the dorms-- very important development and significant policy change... If it can happen there, it can happen ANYWHERE. Stay tuned...

Dreams

It all starts with a DREAM, a longing in the heart for something greater than yourself... Then you begin to think about it constantly and an honorable obsession begins to develop. That engages your emotions and you find yourself being called to this holy pursuit. You then begin to speak of it and the power of your words mysteriously b...egin to create your desired outcome. Your words move people to action and you begin to mobilize support for your new mission... Before you know it-- your new reality begins to "show up" in your life... This is the power your dreams contain-- use them wisely and deliberately, and choose the life you truly desire.

Your Future

Imagination is one of the most powerful tools that we have been given. When you quiet your mind and begin to bring into focus the life that you desire, you bring forces into play and set energies into motion that are creative and transformative... Open the door so that your FUTURE can come in.

Catch it, come alive, pass it on.

Unlearn Your Fears

Psychologists tell us that we are born with only TWO innate fears: falling and loud noises... All the others we learn as we live and grow (and as we know there are literally hundreds of legitimate "Phobias"). The good news: if you learned it, you can also unlearn the irrational ones that are holding you back. Face your fears today; you chose them, now just let them go.

Catch it, come alive, pass it on.

Focus

We really do find what we LOOK for. The brain is designed and programmed to search for what it has learned is important to you (it's always observing, learning and storing data). So it actively searches for more of whatever you have trained it to look for-- through your focus, attention and thoughts... The interesting part is that most of this goes on in the unconscious mind! So, what will "show up" in your life today? Be careful what gets your valuable focus and attention-- you'll SEE it again soon.

Peace

On my way back up to the prison. Amazing results with the Peace Initiative continue. Violence has decreased since we began our Peace Talks, however, recently the staff confiscated 110 "shanks" in a shakedown in ONE of the dorms... Much work still to be done. Please pray for these Peace Warriors.

Thoughts...

Thoughts become things, and we FIND what we believe we deserve... Guard your mind today and if you must obsess, obsess on things that are wonderful and extraordinary-- you deserve it.

Catch it, come alive, pass it on.

White House Trip!

Heading to DC tonight... I am very excited to have been invited to the White House tomorrow with HOPE Worldwide-- a wonderful non-profit organization celebrating 20 years of service work around the globe. HOPE is becoming very interested in reaching the incarcerated and giving forgotten men HOPE as well... Open doors abound!

Update: What an incredible day at the White House meeting with the Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships... HE is definitely up to something.

Get On With It

Go for it... Really. No more procrastinating, excusing, avoiding, denying, rationalizing, waiting, delaying, justifying-- do it NOW; do it right; do it strong; do it the way that only YOU can do it. (But really, just get on with it)

Catch it, come alive, pass it on.

Focus

What we focus on EXPANDS... What will get your valuable time, attention and focus today? I hope it is what you truly DESIRE; not what you dread and fear. You deserve victory, success, prosperity and abundance in your life; so focus on the things that accompany your dreams. You are filled with power, love, light and pure potential-- so go and FIND your miracle today. (It's right around the next turn)

Catch it, come alive, pass it on.

Just DO It

In the immortal words of Yoda: "There is no try, only DO." (You'll have to say it in your own "Yoda Voice" but you get the point-- Just do it.) Today could be THE day.

Catch it, come alive, pass it on.

Soul Force

What we are NOT: our possessions, our accomplishments, our reputation, our physical body, our title (all "false self")... What we ARE: gifted souls, put here to make a difference in the world today. (Just say "no" to EGO today-- we all have a greater purpose: Soul Force.)

Catch it, come alive, pass it on.
