Are Your Dreams Your Reality? : Part 2

A follow on from a previous post. Find it here

Martin Luther King, father of “The Dream”, spoke of freedom, a freedom from slavery. The shakles of prejudice hanging from his wrist, he spoke with passion and commitment to the envy of the common white man far removed from dreams and passion.

Today, the common mans wrists ache like once that of the enslaved blackman, and so too does his back but not from whistling whip kissing the skin. No. Instead, wrists and backs ache from our prison cells: a place we reside defeated with ego torn and dreams fading into themes of nightmarish pattern sounding and ringing as alarm bells scare us awake before the crack of dawn, too many days a week.

And what of our desire? It trembles behind dissapoinment for fears reminiscint of play-yard bullies’ vicious taunts. Height increased of those that point and laugh, girls breasts grow voluptious; and so too their tales beyond covered mouth by hand. World size seems to expand as our minds aim for clouds and our bodies wrestle with natures advancement of our flesh and bone.

All this, yet our worlds shrivle and our territories wilt, confining us to bastardized cells for rest upon a long days labour. We embrace minimalism and fashionable cloths with not so deep pockets. Atlas, with our very own jester, square and plasmatic, who should say we are not entertained!

No one may suggest that we are not ambitions like the days of our youth, still, tall we stand on own or with stiletoo. Yet, our muscles grow, atrophic, and like the breasts of a woman grow, taking on a life of their own almost alien to the chest of the body, our wastes expand voluptuously.

Oh, but who would dare to riducle one mans greed or anothers pleasure. Who dare point a finger! Like seeds watered and roots rooted to one day bloom of beauty, our inner senses feel compelled by external aids to embrace: to consume!

Perplexed by riddles I grabble like student with master upon a thought: where has the animal gone from natures beauty? Where is life in the life we are living?

It is time.

It is time to dream again. It is time for us to awake. Our people, our nation, our family and our friends may stand sleeping, but like cracking speed and precison of execution, the standing sleeping will fall like dominos and lay out with their bodies afresh a trail, a path, a destination. The shape of a mans hand rested upon is eyes is far from figure, but from the right distance he may see shape and form.

Let us stand back from the path of fallen dominos and see direction and take with wind. Let us take “The the first step in faith, we don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step”.

A mans life viewed from a distance is grandiose when compared to the will and action of his most immediate desire. Shakles will not need keys, and backs will rise with brawn and vigor. Stretching arms to sky, and eyes gazing, once again, at clouds and stars: as they once did in their former glory. All this when we dream of distant desires.

Drare to dream. Dare to imagine. As father EMC2 radiates from beyond nature, “Imagination is everything, it is the preview of life’s coming attractions”

Are dreams your reality?

Sure, who would point a finger?

Do fear and greed feed wealth?

I haven’t wrote a blog in so long because I’ve been working on getting a business off the ground, but also for another strange reason, unexplored before, but the reason is that I fear off giving too much information away about what I am doing.

Isn’t that wildly contrary to reason I set up this blog: to document the story of the path to wealth.

I find that i’m afraid someone will steel my idea and get it to market first. Surely that’s a feeling brought on by fear? or perhaps our basic instinct for survival guided through a reptilian brain function: survival of the fittest and the protection of life.

Isn’t this contrary to how society should be working? Shouldn’t we be working together to provide for each other? Except with our westernised culture it seems that we are happy to help others as long as we get there first. Maybe it’s just me?

An explorative journey I feel needs to be taken. Perhaps only by me, perhaps by each of us, but a journey that explores the definition of societal “progress.” Especially, since progress is in most forms the acqusition of wealth and power; each spurred on by greed and fear?

Perhaps at the end of this journey we may ask ourselves or even realise that our society may be running in the wrong direction as it is fuelled more each day by individuals fearing loss and in greed of the aquistion of the infamos “more.”

Power is only powerful when you give it away

We have this idea in our heads that if we deny sombody of something that we posses, then we have control over them. We figure they will bend to our will becuase we hold something that they want.

Be it love, attention, opportunities, money, or just a phone call.

Little games we play in our heads. A boss does not commend you or promote you because it takes away from their independence when they show they rely on you. We won’t say anything because we don’t want to jeapordise our livlihoods, our income, our happiness achieved indirectly from income. We suffer the indignity of it.

A man withholds his phone call to a woman for a period of time, to make her wait, make her eager. Holding on to the power by protecting control of his mind and heart because he fears it will be rejected, and he’d rather suffer alone his way than be rejected and be alone.

A woman witholds her committment to her partner because she’s afraid she can’t live up to expecations. Rather maintain the power and fail how she wants to fail rather than fail by others expectations.

We withhold demonstrations of our love for others because they withhold it from us.

In each of these situations, we actually loose our own power when we try to posses it and protect it.

What would happen if you were brave and demonstrated your love? Would you feel empowered after the initial fear and you accomplished it?

What if you made the phone call so you could observe how keen he or she is to know you, instead of lowering their ego by withholding or pretending you don’t care.

What if you told your boss what you thought of him/her and that if things didn’t change you’d have to make things change by leaving or whatever?

The relief that is felt when we are true to ourselves is extraordinary. Sometimes the only way we can be powerful is by putting the ball back in other peoples court so that you can observe and prepare for what comes back.

When we let the power or “ball” sit in thier court or our own court for too long, we diminish our own power and stiffle the natural balance of energy.

Try it for a day or two.

Say what you think, give the power away and see what happens. I promise you’ll see life a whole new way. =)

Have my Ego, I don’t want to know it anymore.

Have my Ego, I don’t want to know it anymore.

Take my masks too.

Each of them:

the i’m better, i’m smarter, i’m sexier, i’m richer, i’m fitter

What good is 1,000 facebook or tagged friends, when you sit home alone…..in a room…..looking at a screen……and hoping that someone other than a “Cheat on Your Wife” or “Give me your email address”…..gets in touch to let you know that you exist.

If life is truly for living as we all proclaim, then why do we all spend our time working in jobs we hate and only rarly contacting people through non personal mediums such as tagged, facebook, or my space?

If we really want to date somone that looks like Pamela Anderson or George Clooney, then why don’t we stop them in the coffee shop or in the street and just say Hi……?

Rich is he who considers himself least of all !!!!!!!

Soon…..I’ll head back into the shadows of the real world where you and I will meet……when I spark up a conversation in a public place and you will think “who is this nutter trying to chat to me”

Try to find me if you can………I promise…….you may not find me the first time…….but you’ll find everywhere waiting for you to talk to me……..and I will see you……..waiting for me to talk to you….

If only one of us were brave enough!!!!!

Is Death A Secret?

What is death?
Most of us perceive death as stopping of our hearts and the death of our physical bodies. Some scientists depending on which type you talk to may say that it’s a trasfer of energy from one state to another.

How does it affect human behaviour?
For centuries we have glorified it. Sacrificed women, children and animals to the Gods. Even today in some parts of the world we are addicted to it’s meaning and the ultimate meaning of it as defined by a God. Addicted to a point of ignorance of others and it even causes the brutal murder of others. An eye for an eye.

They say that drug addicts do not free themselves from the drug because they fear life. The responsibilities; the cross that must be carried.

What does the church know and hide?
What’s the secret? Why are some of the oringal works within the new testament no longer within the testament. Why were they left out after being originally submitted, aren’t they God’s word? Should he/she not be bear the responsiblity for what the masses hear? Is the church a modern day corrupt banking system? After all the church approved the The Knights Templar to slaughter muslims in Juresalem and the The Knights Templar was responsible for the first banking system.

Are you already dead?
Or at least living life like you are dead. Not exploring the world, the people, ourself? If you knew you just died at the end of life would it make a difference?

If you knew what was to happen after death would you live differently?
What if there was no God as we currently know it? What if it is a man made drug to surpress and scare the masses? What if God was a universal intelligence, of which many scientists currently believe, that will supply anything we dream of, even if we dream of nightmares? What if we convinced ourselves that God was a drug that we did not want to give up because we are afraid of living? Not unlike the addict. Fearful of responsiblities and all that life is.

Is death / God a coverup to instill fear in the masses?
Would you live any differently knowing their was no God? What you take those chances and risks that you don’t take at the moment? Would you let loose and go wild like the animal you are?

Improve Your Probability of Success

I set out on my journey for independence and wealth nearly two years ago now. I left a corporate job and decided I was going to do it myself.

Now, I’m lucky, I have access to funding however, I was and still am in the belief that a business must be able to make a profit in it’s early days without debt. This blog was developed with the vision of providing others with a breadcrumb trail of how to obtain wealth, and with that financial wealth. Creating a business with large sums of money does not inspire hope in those who think that they can achieve wealth but just don’t know it yet.

I too had the same problem. I thought I could make, I thought I knew that I could make it, but I didn’t know. How do I know?

I used to let the external pressures of society, family and friends cause disturbance in my energy. I put additional pressure of achieving on my shoulders. I was trying to prove that I could make it. You don’t need to!

I lumped on additional pressure to achieve goals that were months if not years ahead of me. I forgot about the journey! I forgot that everyday is a journey and everyday presents it’s very own hurdles or battles. If we don’t see the destination as a journey in itself we can wake up everyday with a battle on our hands and our journey could feel like an endless war!

Sure, everyday you may be rejected, you may be dismissed, you may be ignored, but remember that bill gates was not always a billionaire, either was Napolean Hill, or Robert Kiyosaki and the endless list of others that have aimed and achieved.

Just know that the door that holds the opportunties for you is waiting for you to open it. You may have to knock on 1,000 doors first just like Thomas Edison or Richard Reed of £120 million annual turnover at Innocent Smoothies.

So, don’t fight yourself. Take time for yourself. Be kind to yourself. Build in fun stuff for yourself. Maintain a bit of a life! Because if you do have to knock on 999 doors it could be a long journey =) act now!

I Give Up, I Just Don’t Care Anymore

How many times do we say this to ourselves?

Per Day? A week? A year?

Is it just you?

Is it just me?

Here’s the catch. The more we say it the more we really mean it. The mind has incredible abilities to help you on your way if you really want to.

The mind also has incredible abilities to mend a broken leg, to heal itself from cancer, to mend the entire body back into a functional machine just so you can go about doing whatever else you want to do in your life. Ref: “The Miracle Man” : Mr.Morris Goodman found handly for your browsing reference when you chose: The Miracle Man

His ability to this or our ability to do this is a power accessible to you and you alone. Nobody else can work it for you. Your brain will think and believe what you want it to believe. “Imagination….. is the preview to life’s coming attractions” – Albert Einstein.

What do you think your thoughts are? The conversations in your mind that prepare you for what’s about to manifest into a reality, because you want it to.

How this happens is explained in other posts throughout my blog. Don’t ask me where they are, I don’t keep track…..What I do know….is that if you hoke around through the pages you may not find what your looking for, it could be something completly different. So keep your eyes out.

Anyhow, mainfesting into reality, they are thoughts like what will I say to my partner to get them to go along with what I want to do this weekend. Perhaps they’re more like what am I going to tell my boss when he asks for my sales figures, asks about the big deal that didn’t come through and oh yeah, why I haven’t got a baldy about what else is in the pipeline because I’ve been trying to get the big deal through!!!!!!!!

If that doesn’t work for you, just think of any person you know you will meet in the future. Perhaps not someone your wife or husband but like a friend or an associate, or whomever. Why are you meeting them?

What are you planning on saying to them? Is it something they’ll like to hear or not like to hear?

So you’ve planned what your going to say? You’ve planned what they might respond with? Or how you’ll butter them up before telling them?

The point is…..you imagine the conversation……you’ve previewed it in your imagination…..it soon becomes a reality manifested through your attraction of that particular scenario.

So our imagination can build rockets? Go to outer space? Create a miniture “big bang” in a contained environment. Again, I leave a link should your interest spike. “Big Bang”

So, if Albert is right, and we can create just about anything we imagine……..then isn’t it time we stopped imagining that nothing is going to work out for us, that girl won’t like me because i’m not good looking, i’ve no friends at school because nobody likes me, i’m being bullied in work by my ass hole boss, my wife cheated because I don’t know how to love, my parents are alchoholics and I don’t love anyone, my mother is a junkie and I’ve no chance in life, my son is a murderer and everyone will think I created him, my father is a rapist and people will think he touched me……………………

Isn’t it time we start imagining that anything is possible and that you can achieve it. “What the mind can conceive it can achieve” : Napolean Hill a millionaire life changing coach that was previously an armed outlaw from an old appalachian background. I’ll leave the link for you pleasure…………“Napolean Hill Story”

Whether you are the ass hole boss, the junkie, or the “VICTIM” in the penultimate paragraph, just remember that it’s all in your mind. You can change your life. Your wife, Your fortunes, you only get one shot in life…..don’t let your mistakes in the past stop you from succeeding in your future! All that you want in your mind will reside in your mind. Be it impossibilities. It will make itself a home and you two will enjoy each others company unless you manage to entertain the other possibilities that life has to offer you.

What possibilities? Two movies: Watch both. Both linked for your convenience. Please enjoy and I’d love to know if it changed yours. From one seeker of dreams and new realities to another, go with God’s speed and drop back by to say you made it! It would change my life forever. =)

One you can watch on you tube and the other they will send you your own copy. See you in the future.

What the bleep do we know
The Secret:

How Much Do You Give Of Yourself To Others?

There’s a question.

So we know that giving is good. We know that it releases oxytocin in the brain and improves health and overall happiness.

So what are we to do when others don’t want what you want to give them.

We are rejected.

Most of us living species of human make most decisions on the fear of rejection.

We say what we think “they” want us to hear. We comply with “they” want and we agree with “them” because we don’t want to cause an arguement. We don’t want to hurt their feelings. We need to be politically correct.

So then, what does a human do with this life changing ability to feel? Sometime it feels more like what we can’t do. What I’m we’re not suppose to do. And we spent most of our time trying to cover how we really feel!

In fact, i’d go as far as to say that I / “we” would nearly “act” as we want to be percieved rather than who we actually are.

My neigbour went through a couple of weeks of torture ( I would say ) with the loudness of the music I was playing. Her head was wrecked, torturing herself with the emotions associate with the feelings of “will I say something, will I knock on the door and say something, or will I just keep my mouth shut, be politically correct ( a good neighbor ).”

All the time I had no clue. I live in an extension room of the house, no shared walls. There is an ally between their window and mine. We seem to think at the moment it could have something with the echo it produces, but generally they can hear the music I play.

The point is, they didn’t say anything, they were just living with it. All the time, I was clueless about how they were feeling. How would I have know I was causing this grief if they didn’t tell me? Such a shame.

Such a shame that when we are not true to ourselves and others for the the fear of rejection, when we keep everything locked up inside us, and little do we know, that all we have to do solve our problems, to make our life better, all we have to do , is to tell people how we truly feel.

All we have to do now, is learn how to accept how other people truly feel without being defensive, or being offended by how they make us feel.

As soon as we take control of our emotions; when we own them; when they are truely ours and no one else can tweek with the emotions button, then we’ll be able to truely live in peace and happiness.

Madness how giving is suppose to be so good to do, but our society today conditions us to believe that even giving of our true throughts and feelings are something to keep to ourselves. How are we to give anything to anyone else in the world when we can’t even give them our thoughts and true feelings.

If we can’t give, we can’t live!

Start to today. Please, give yourself to others. If not for your sake, then please, for my sake.

How do you define a leader?

You’re probably reading this because you consider yourself a leader and you are wondering who is trying to tell YOU that you are not a leader. This is great news because you’re actively attracting learning’s that create the leader within you.

Leadership is often romanticized as this warrior leading his men into battle. A leader that delegates responsibilities and whips people into shape. However, true leadership can often hide in the shadows as an unassuming force. A force of exploration and subtle influence.

I find the best way to lead people is to subtly create within their consciousness a desire to accomplish the objective rather than to lead through dictation. I’ve been in the army, the corporate world and have been an athlete. I view true leadership as form of communication closer to coaching than a hierarchical force. True leadership may even be the adaptation of your plans to fit into the goals and desires that have arisen within those that you are trying to lead. In other words, take a path more comfortable for your followers that still leads to your final destination.

People are you’re vehicle to arrive at your vision. And you are theirs. You must compromise if you are to arrive together safely.

As a leader, your skills at igniting enthusiasm for your vision, will be defined by your flexibility, patience and empathy.

People that look to leaders, do so because they cannot see how to accomplish the goals within the “big picture” alone. Because of this, it is imperative that, as a leader, you realize that they cannot see all that you can. Therefore it is your responsibility to show them the closest achievable next step. If you are a parent, then you will identify with the above statement.

Therein lies the structure needed by you to guide people closer to where you want to lead them. As a leader you must guide them to the next step, not necessarily the final destination. That’s what I mean by romanticized. You could talk until you’re blue in the face about your vision that lays patiently awaiting you in a distant future and how people should band together now and work to arrive at the final destination. But if those around you cannot see how to get there; if they cannot see that it is achievable, then they may not have the energy needed to keep themselves on a track that, in their mind, leads no where quickly.

So what do we need to do as leaders to build support for a vision?

Identify the stages of progress to the final destination. Breakdown the stages into three or four bullet point type sub-stages. The path of the vision should be clearly identified pragmatically not unlike giving simple directions to a destination: down x street for 200m and turn left just before the building Y.

Once the stages and sub-stages are easily identifiable, then is the time to build support and ignite the enthusiasm of others by asking them what they believe is the best way / fastest way / cheapest way/ smartest way to get to the first sub-stage. And so forth and so on.

In other words you’re empowering them to head towards the vision by giving them a destination not to far from where they are. This gives them the confidence to take the first step. In fact, because you have asked them how to get to the first step they will farm energy and instinct from within themselves to propel them to the first sub-stage of the final vision.

Do this and every sub-stage acts a fueling station rather than a reminder of the distance remaining to the final destination. Every sub-stage is an accomplishment. =)

Life is about empowering others! Imagine what your life would be like if your boss always empowered you rather than berated you. What if your friends empowered you and requested that they be allowed to support you! Imagine for just a minute that everyone in your life told you that your dreams can be your reality and were actually there to help you achieve your dreams.

That world does not have to remain a fantasy. It begins with you. It begins with you the leader.

Be that person you want others to be to you. Request you be allowed to support someone. Tell them you won’t take no for an answer. Be of assistance to others. When you take a leading role in developing and supporting those around you, you have taken the first step in being a true leader!

The learning’s from helping others achieve will provide you the skills you need to lead others when the time necessitates it.

Know ThySelf “γνῶθι σεαυτόν”

It’s interesting. This journey to wealth that I am on.

Interesting because it has not at kept in line with how I thought it would run.

You know, when I began this journey, I was in a very safe environment. I had a corporate job, a beautiful fiancée, a Dalmatian and Mancunian terrier, and two spare rooms in a big house.

It’s funny. We were on a cruise-ship, at the front. It was late at night. The stars sparkled and we made a commitment to go after the dream together. It was a “Titanic Moment.”

For some reason, I thought that it would be a simple journey my partner and I would make together. I’m not exactly sure why she didn’t take the leap with me. I took a look down the line and seen heartache. I seen myself blaming her for not working with me to achieve our dreams.

I soon found out that they were my dreams. Hers were different. I think. I suppose we both went through some emotional times over the last year together. And I suppose we both felt like the other was letting us down in some way.

I made the leap alone. Now I live with my grandparents and use a back room as an office. It’s lovely. But it’s still the grandparents place. Not at all how I envisioned life only a few short months ago.

So why am I telling the world this. Some day. Some day, people are going to be interested in this journey I have taken. They’ll make similar decisions. Decisions to chase the dream. I’ve watched maybe a dozen interviews with successful entrepreneurs on a site called CMYPITCH.COM and I have to admit it helps to keep me sane.

It’s would be easy to look at this specific moment in time and say “What the hell am I doing?” but fortunately I have wisdom imparted with me from these people that have made the journey. Frequent comments from them are statements like “It’s a lonely road being an entrepreneur” “Everyone, even your family, will tell you that your mad”

Luckily I have a supportive family, but when I reminisce about the woman I loved, the woman I was prepared to spend my life. My entire life. I remember watching the cartoon “Up”, holding my woman’s hand and looking into her eyes 40 years from now. It’s a dam shame. It really is.

Luckily I found that she was not as committed as I was to our life together as I was. I was truly lucky to have found out the truth before I got married. How lucky am I?

It’s wise not to rush into things in life. Words only mean so much. Action say the rest.

Anyhow, the learning from all this is that your life will change. Your environment will change. Your time will be spent in a different way. Everything will change. So be careful. Be sure that you want the dream. Because it will more than likely change your entire life before bringing you to your landing zone. Enjoy the journey. And always remember who you are along the way. Don’t forget why you wanted it and why you were willing to sacrifice. Even when times seem low!

Best of luck on your journey. Your adventure.

By the way Know Thyself is a Greek aphorism though to be attributed to at least six ancient Greek sages including Pythagoras, Socrates and Heraclitus. Rest assured the journey you are on is one that other great men have traveled.
