The most powerful thing you can do to change the world, is to change your own beliefs about the nature of life, people, reality, to something more positive … and begin to act accordingly.

Choices …
Hey, All! GREAT question from Gregg this week who asked, “How is it possible to stay positive when so many of the people in my life keep bringing me down? What can I do about it and what would you tell me if you were my coach?”
My response …
“Well, Gregg, for one thing, I would tell you to think long and hard about the people who are in your life. If they’re continuously (and/or consistently) bringing you down, then why are they still a part of your life?
You’ve gotta learn to weed ’em out, as tough as it might be to do so … and that goes for folks who have been friends for years, those who are newer friends, someone you’re in relationship with, or even family members. At most, keep your distance and keep that ‘spiritual bubble’ around yourself when you’re in their presence to help you in protecting your positive, loving energy without allowing them to invade that space or energy with negativity.
Keep in mind, these people in your life ARE serving a purpose, that of which, at a bare minimum, is to remind you of what I’m about to tell you, and to push you to continue along your path of spiritual growth. Are they serving you beyond that purpose, tho? Ask yourself this, find and then face the answer, and take the appropriate action of either ‘weeding them out’ or giving them the chance to understand your feelings, at least, and then letting them make their own decisions as to what kind of energy they wish to project upon you at that point (in which case, you still have the right and responsibility to make choices of your own).
See, Gregg, here’s the bottom line(s) of what I’m saying …
The mindset you embrace is your choice, and no one else’s.
The energy you project is your choice, and no one else’s.
The attitude you reflect, the altitude you aspire to, the level of peace, well-being, and love you bask in is your choice, and no one else’s.
Choose wisely, from one moment to the next.
It’s really quite personal, while also affecting of those around you and those you are able to touch. Those who are in your life and do not recognize these facts, hold the same beliefs, take the same level of responsibility for the energies they project, reflect, share, etc are on a path of their own. Their path may not be anywhere near the type of path you’re on, but if they are having a negative impact on you, then you have the choice and the power to choose and change how they affect you. No one else is going to do it for you, my friend.
I hope this helps!”
And, I hope this helps at least one other person who reads this.

Embrace Letting Go
To be more prosperous, have greater wealth, and more abundance, we must not see what we have in this moment as dwindling, but rather, see it as a gift for which we must be grateful.
We must not see the spending of a dollar as creating a space or hole of ‘less’ or lack, but rather, as circulating the energy of money so that it may return to us 10-fold, over-filling that ‘space’ with far more of what we want and need. Through gratitude, on the deepest level, we allow the Universe (God, “Higher Power”, etc) to replace lack with abundance.
To have, be, and do more, we must EMBRACE the act and the art of ‘letting go’, with soul-level faith and belief that, in doing so, we are allowing the Universe/the Divine to ‘fill up’ and replace with even more and more greatness, more positive, more wealth, more of everything we need and truly desire, as we need it and for the higher reasons we need it. (Are you serving others??)
We must ALLOW this flow and be unconditionally open to RECEIVE what the Universe/Divine wants us to have. You cannot embrace fears and a lack mindset, while also embracing an energy and mindset of abundance, prosperity, and wealth.
Which mindset and energy you embrace is YOUR CHOICE. Choose wisely, and TAKE ACTION.

Stopping Fear …
“When someone looks past that image in the mirror and into their heart and soul, and realizes they are MEANT to be and have and do AMAZING, beautiful, love-and-peace-filled things in life – and that their life IS intended to be that all along the way – then they find the clarity they need to simply STOP giving their fears such energy and power over their lives.”

Something to think about …
“If Today Was Your Last Day” – Nickelback
My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day’s a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day
Against the grain should be a way of life
What’s worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts ’cause there’s no second try
So live like you’ll never live it twice
Don’t take the free ride in your own life
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you’re dreamin’ of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day
If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it’s never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
‘Cause you can’t rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin’ stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you’re dreamin’ of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

LITTLE THINGS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE
LITTLE THINGS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE
Author Unknown
There was a man taking his morning walk on the beach. He saw that along with the morning tide came hundreds of starfish and when the tide receded, they were left behind and with the suns’ morning rays, they would die.
The tide was fresh and the starfish were alive. The man took a few steps, picked one and threw it into the water. He did that repeatedly.
Right behind him there was a young boy who noticed and couldn’t understand what this man was doing. He caught up with him and asked, “What are you doing? There are hundreds of starfish. What difference does it make?”
This man did not reply, took two more steps, picked up another one, threw it into the water, and said, “It makes a difference to this one.”
After hearing why the man was doing this, the boy bent down, picked up a starfish and threw it back in the ocean. Then he smiled and said, “I made a difference for that one.”
Will you make a difference in someone’s life today?

Giving and Prosperity
By Bryan Hall
Take a look around you.
Take a LOOK at your LIFE!
What do you notice?
Try this on for size …
As a world community of ONE people, we are continuously evolving, as is the Earth we live on. We are constantly changing, growing, and sharing in the energies that bond us in being-ness.
Now, this might seem elementary to some, but to others, this says something MUCH deeper. See … the way I look at it is, we are all constantly helping – or not helping – in some way or another, on some level or another WITHIN OURSELVES, to contribute (either positively or negatively) to CREATE the world in which we live.
And you’re reading this and saying, “SOOOOOOOOO WHAT?!?!” Right?
Well, here’s my point …
It is in helping others, in contributing in POSITIVE, loving ways, and in GIVING of ourselves, that we GAIN and GROW and attract the very same ABUNDANCE to our own lives.
Read that again.
It is in helping others … in contributing in POSITIVE, loving ways … and in GIVING of ourselves … that we GAIN and GROW … and ATTRACT the very same ABUNDANCE … to OUR OWN lives.
The world of today is evolving more and more, constantly, in awakening to this. If you can’t see it, then allow yourself to open up more to it and you’ll likely see it with crystal clarity.
So, let’s look at HOW you can affect others, in probably millions of ways. Let’s APPLY what we already KNOW and DO something positive with that knowledge, philosophy, and mindset.
How CAN you affect others, contribute in more positive ways, and – on a truly cosmic level – impact and influence the very cycle of evolution we exist in, (which, we know, is constantly changing)?
I’ll tell you how …
Give of yourself by giving your time.
Give of yourself by giving your attention.
Give of yourself by giving your love, your compassion, and your kindness.
Give of yourself BY BEING GRATEFUL for what you have … as constantly as possible, and with all your heart.
Give of yourself by sharing great books you’ve read with others (just give them away, and watch what happens).
Give of yourself, from your heart, to ONE PERSON today … even if it has to be YOU! (And MAKE time EVERY day to be sure you ARE loving yourself!)
BE passionate. BE of service. BE positive. BE loving. BE YOUR TRUE SELF … and don’t even THINK about holding back!
What you’ll receive back for giving in that way is sure to pleasantly surprise you, if it doesn’t flat-out blow you away! And you truly ARE helping people, while also helping yourself.
To quote prosperity guru, Randy Gage, “You can’t out-give the Universe!”
Mahatma Gandhi said, “You must BE the change you wish to see in the world.”
BE the change. Starting today – this very moment.
BE
THE
CHANGE.
One of the greatest “secrets” to success of incredible proportions is to GIVE more value than you RECEIVE … but you have to START GIVING to set that force in motion. And you have to take MASSIVE, determined, unfaltering ACTION to increase the momentum of that force.
DO IT.
If you don’t believe me … do it.
If you TOTALLY believe me, and you already KNOW this works … do it.
Do it … with passion, with love.
Do it – NOW!
Keep the passion. Take massive action. And let YOUR passion fuel you to your greatest dreams and desires!
To YOUR Abundance and Prosperity!

Your Life – Self Growth Without Stress
By Bryan Hall
How is your life unfolding? Do you have the ability to step back and take a look ‘from the outside’, as if to be a spectator viewing your life and its most impacting events?
To be as successful as you can possibly be, you have to learn to take that look, almost as a third-person point of view. Doing so, and practicing this more and more, you should be able to see why and how certain events in your past … certain decisions you’ve made and actions you’ve taken, have affected your life’s ‘what happened next’, and how your decisions and actions TODAY will affect and impact your TOMORROW.
Now, let me be clear about something, my friends: None of this is hard. None of this should be difficult or stressful. Of course, it doesn’t happen all on its own; you have to put passion into action, so to speak. But, my belief, and what I want to help people understand, is that personal development, spiritual growth, etc, should NOT be hard or stressful!
So many of the self-help programs, books, and the like tend to create an incredible amount of stress on people. Most of us don’t have an hour a day to meditate (although, it doesn’t hurt, if you can make the time, and the benefits can be life-altering). Most of us don’t have ‘nothing else going on’ to where we can just sit and think positive thoughts or repeat positive affirmations (again, doesn’t hurt to do it, but who has the time to focus on just that?).
Reading positive books is AWESOME … and, yes, you have to ‘make the time’ to do that, but most of us have so much else going on in our lives, just between work and family, that it’s often hard to find time to be able to ‘make the time’.
And, when you have a goal of changing something about yourself, improving your life in one way or another, growing spiritually, and so on, the LAST thing you really need (or want) is to feel STRESSED over the process of ‘getting there’.
So, what can you (or, rather, ‘the average person’) do during your busy, hectic days to find/make time to grow within yourself, spiritually, and hence also use that growth and change to better all other aspects of your life (including your business)?
Well, for one thing, try to stop thinking so much about how busy and hectic and stressful your days are. The life you are living today IS the journey you are on … in sooo many ways! I don’t care if you ’stop to smell the roses’, but if you don’t at least take some time to be grateful for what blessings you have, no matter how big or small, and to cherish those moments that bring you the most joy and happiness, then you’re ‘living by default’, as I like to say.
In other words, don’t live simply to die … live to LIVE MORE … ENJOY the journey each moment along the way!
Take the time (or ‘make’, if you prefer – however you have to look at it) to read something positive before you get your day started, and do so every day. Make a habit of it. Scientifically speaking, it takes 21 days of a repeated thought/action to create a ‘habit’. You don’t have to be a ‘junkie’ about it … just make a habit of a few new or different things in your life, and watch how your life changes!
I posted at my site quite awhile back about the highly-acclaimed My Daily Insights email subscription (go here to get it). Other than on Fridays, when they send out a more lengthy ’Friday Story’, the My Daily Insights emails usually take 20 seconds or less to read, they are ALWAYS positive and thought-provoking, and CAN set the tone for your entire day!
Here’s another idea that’s really simple and stress-free, that I also talk about more in-depth in my ebook, Peak Performance … Peak LIFE! …
Most people bathe on a daily basis. It’s part of your routine, right? Well, why not take a bit of that ‘alone time’ (assuming you bathe alone, that is ), and think about some of the things you’re grateful for, happy for, and some of the things you want to change/do/have/be/etc in your future? For most of us, there isn’t a much better time during our days to think about those types of things, or to spend even just a few moments in gratitude for the blessings we have.
Besides, there’s something to be said about cleaning the body while cleansing the mind and soul at the same time, allowing all of the dirt and grime of any ‘negative’ to wash away. Try it – you’ll see what I mean!
Personally, I worked very hard to change negative habits, to channel the inherent positive attitudes and energies that I believe we are all born with. And, to this day, I have my ‘bad moments’, just like the next guy does. But, it’s how you look at those ‘bad moments’ and what you do with them from that point forward that really matters.
Keep in mind, you aren’t going to change overnight, but if you don’t put the passion to grow behind action, then change never will happen other than by re-active or forced change, which most of us will fight against, sub-consciously at least, and may even self-sabotage because of, in that fighting effort.
When you take control and take responsibility for your own spiritual growth, personal development, etc, then change doesn’t ‘happen to you’ … you allow and encourage it to happen for you by way of setting it into motion to begin with. And, believe me, no one is more in charge of your life than YOU, my friend! It’s up to you, and you can do it.
Start today – right now!
Believe in yourself!
