“Go Take a Flying Leap”

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Next time someone says, “Go Take a Flying Leap.”  You should thank them! 

There’s so much talk today about “taking the next step” or “going to the next level” that I’m tired of hearing about it. The truth is I have never gotten from where I was to where I wanted to be by taking some small step.

Granted every journey does begin with the first step… but for pete’s sake do you know how many small steps it takes to go from being broke to rich, from miserable to happy, from hopeless to triumphant? The truth is I don’t want to find out… I already l know it’s too many. I’ve taken thousands of small steps in my life that didn’t lead where I wanted to go.

But it took a giant LEAP to get to where I am today. To make a radical change or a quantum shift it takes a giant leap of faith. A young man telling his girl he loves her for the first time, an athlete pushing his or her body to the brink of disaster to achieve what “can’t be achieved”, a battered or abused wife finally leaving her abuser. All those things take a leap of faith, all of them take courage, and all of them lead to a better more fulfilling life.  (SHARE YOUR STORY)

My guess is that you are also ready for that giant LEAP in your own life.

If you’re tired of taking one step at a time only to find your true happiness has moved 3 steps further away then join me, Tom Terwilliger and warrior trainer, Aaron Huey for a life changing event that will have you ready to trade in that long slow march to who knows where for one giant LEAP to success and the life you deserve.

The #1 Reason Most People Are Not Wealthy, Fit, and Successful

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

Do you know the #1 reason why most people never get what they want in life?  It’s NOT because they don’t have enough time, money, or ambition to pursue it.  Although they may think those things themselves are what they want.  And it’s NOT because they’re not working their butts off. 

In fact most people work far harder than they need to.  All that work and effort in most cases is fueled by an unconscious desire not so much to “get what I want” but rather to “hold on to what I already have.” 

It might appear to some that the age in which we live has facilitated a change in motivation for many from a burning desire to achieve what we want to a fear driven battle to hold on to what we have.  Even with the wide spread achievement awareness created by The Secret and the Law of Attraction, “I just want to be comfortable” seems to be the battle cry of the fearful would-be survivors.  It is the psychology of how not to fail vs how to be victorious and is very easy (more…)

Music, Energy, and Physical (Sexual) Performance

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

music.jpgMusic is commonly used to help induce certain states and feelings. Some music can make us feel more aggressive, or completely relaxed, and still other types of music can induce feelings of nostalgia. We also know that music and exercise has been going hand in hand since long before Jane Fonda’s aerobic video’s hit the scene.

The right music can help produce energy in the body and in the mind simultaneously. Through actual scientific studies researchers have discovered that the frequencies in some music can actually optimize the flow of energy in the body and brain. Through their studies researchers have been able to demonstrate how most people live their daily lives in a weakened state and not able reach their full potential as a result of several external reasons.

They believed that over 60,000 man-made chemicals in our air, food and water supply, actually interrupt the flow of energy in our bodies. In addition, they have also demonstrated how things such as cell phones and mp3 players actually contribute to that weakened state. As a way of counteracting these negative environmental effects some researchers have looked to the possibility of music. Using the harmonic recording of a monk chanting they discovered that there were actual physiological changes in the body and positive changes in brain wave activity. This inspired a search for other types of music that would reproduce the same effect.

They invited musician Mark Romero (more…)
