Beyond Success!

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT INSPIRED BY THE BAKER

My passionate existence. March 30, 2008

My life is filled with passion. It is intense and not easily understood by the masses, so when I meet individuals that understand I feel at ease. I have a passion for life and it’s exciting. Every time I wake up I know it’s going to be the best day of my entire life. I can’t explain it other than the fact that I am blessed and fortunate to have developed this consciousness over time.

Living with passion is fun. Everyday is an adventure and everyday I remain thankful for all the people and experiences that have and will continue to come into existence. This blog is pretty vague, but there are few that are nodding their heads going “yes” I know what you are talking about, and I too live this life you speak of. For those that don’t I just advise you to listen to your inner voice and act on it. Easier said than done? Perhaps.. But it is well worth it.

Living a passionate life goes hand in hand with the concept of Beyond Success. At every level you want to succeed, but it is that passion that takes it beyond.

Take your passion and make it happen!

Old Souls March 19, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — beyondsuccess @ 2:14 am

I will talk about Old Souls, and how I’ve come to understand it.

There are individuals out there that just seem to have more wisdom than average. I don’t speak of academic or technical knowledge. What I speak of is “soul knowledge” or “universal knowledge.”

Old souls are usually humble and speak from the heart. They aren’t impressed by the material world. They see and feel various energies. Old souls like a grooves of tress, and plants. Old souls worry that people won’t understand the depth of their consciousness. Old souls are generally tuned into their world and feelings. Life is pretty easy for them because they don’t concern themselves with things that are temporary such as money, cars, status, or ego.

There is something about old souls that makes you feel like they have a thorough understanding of how life works and operates. I have been lucky enough to have been around some old souls that I respect and admire.

Do I consider myself an old soul?

Yes and no. Yes because I have the knowledge to recognize this idea of “Old souls” and have the ability to put this down for people to read, without fear of criticism, because what I say here I know to be true for myself. And No, because I have a lot to learn about compassion and full understanding of ego. (Which makes it that more enjoyable because I have a passion for learning, and I am constantly learning). I am somewhere in the middle of new and old. I am the middle child in my family, and I consider myself middle in soul age as well.

Another thing to keep in mind. If you are in the presence of a true old soul, they will know if you are young or old, based on how you present yourself and the words you speak and action you take.

When I say old soul, I don’t necessarily mean old in numerical age. For example a person that is 95 years old, doesn’t necessarily mean that that person is an old soul. Just like if a person is 3 years of age doesn’t necessarily mean that a person is a young soul. Matter of fact I have met young children age 3-5 that are very old souls that will tell you about their dreams and having been on this earth before in another lifetime.

I spoke to my 4 year old cousin the other day while I was playing basketball. I passed him the ball (not really pass, but rolled it over to him) and he started dribbling it like a natural, and I said to him “how did you learn how to dribble the ball like that?”
He said that “I dribbled the ball 50 years ago. That’s how I know how to dribble.”

A 4 year old boy saying that he dribbled the basketball 50 years ago!? I can simply just mistake that for him believing he dribbled 50 years ago, but I think I know better than that.

I speak of age in progression with the idea that we come here to this earth plane to learn lessons and teach lessons that we feel we need to. This was all choice as far as I am concerned. We all came here and chose to be here. There are no victims, and nobody is helpless. (That is of course they chose to be helpless to teach others about compassion, and love).

I also think it is appropriate to add my thoughts on the gay community. It is my theory and belief we all came here for a reason. So I am assuming that gay people came here to teach certain people how not to be ignorant and prejudiced. They came here to teach us how to accept people who are different from ourselves.

To be willing to accept something that you are not accustomed to is a great way of learning. So if you hate gay people or any other race, religion, etc, take a second to look at the big picture and try to learn why you hate a certain class of people. I think it is our natural tendency to hate what we don’t understand. The more we understand the more we can accept truth.

I am so glad to see that for the first time in American History we have A black male running and a Female running for presidency. This is a step up in the human consciousness and progression in human evolution. Think about how special this is. If Barrack Obama wins, and does a great job in his term, imagine all the people that have discriminated against black people and hated black people would now think. Imagine the paradigm shift that goes in one’s head! They can do one of two things, they can try really hard to still hate blacks, or they can accept the fact that a black man can do amazing things. And the same goes for Hillary Clinton, enlightening all males and even females who don’t think woman can be effective leaders and presidents. {F.Y.I Hillary is going to be the next president of the United States of America (baker prediction March 18, 2008)}
This is a special time to be living.

So back to the concept of old souls. I feel we chose to come here to learn what we haven’t learned in a past life. Past life? Yes. I speak of reincarnation. I speak of learning whatever we chose to learn here. Sometimes the lessons are tough sometimes not. But we learn and we ALL evolve to the next level of consciousness. Some take longer than others, but in the spirit world there is no “time.”

In the end we all come together and experience the love of God. We become one with God. I’m pretty certain of this, regardless of what religion you are or if you are an atheist.

KRS One 2nd Quarter Free Throws Lyrics

Anybody in here right now with tape decks turn em on
and put em on record I’ll give you a second
I want to add authenticity to your tape
so when it’s sold out in the street
you all can know this was a real party

These are poems circulating throughout the nation
everybody’s bad and everybody’s tough
but how many people are intelligent enough
to open up their eyes and see through the lies
discipline themselves, yourself to stay alive?
not many
That’s why the universe sent me today on this stage
with this to to say
the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer
and in the final hour many heads will lose power
what does the rich versus the poor really mean?
psychologically it means you got to pick your team
[2nd Quarter Free Throws lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Couldn’t have said it better myself.. There it is!

Today is a great day. 10:45 a.m Spring time is coming and the weather and time has changed. The sun is shining perfectly and the weather is just right. Ahh.. The weather is so breezy…man why can’t life always be this easy!?

Today I found it appropriate to give a little background of where I use to live, and why I am excited about this city.

I use to live in Riverside CA. Particularity the downtown area. A lot of people want to know more about the attractions here and although I don’t know of everything going on here, I do feel the excitement in the air especially here in downtown Riverside area. There are fantastic commercial developments currently under way in Downtown Riverside. Downtown Riverside has a lot of historic sites. The historic sites blended with the brand new commercial developments just makes living in Downtown Riverside that more unique and special.

Riverside is a city that has gone under the radar in the recent past, but lately has been getting a lot of good press due to the many new exciting developments taking place here, such as building upscale retail stores on the first floors and having amazing lofts and condos that people can live in on the top floors. I like Riverside and I enjoy the future expansion that I can see everyday that is taking place here. For more information on Attractions and new exciting developments visit the RainCross square website at:

Have a fantastic day.

Article on Success By: Brian Tracy March 8, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — beyondsuccess @ 5:45 pm

Brian Tracy is a self-help author who has recorded many of his works as audio books. His talks and seminar topics include leadership, sales, managerial effectiveness, and business strategy.

 

Here is an informative and great article I picked up about success according to Brian Tracy.

What Successful People Believe

Whatever you intensely believe becomes your reality. That we have a tendency to block out any information coming in to us that is inconsistent with our reality. What we’ve discovered is that successful people absolutely believe that they have the ability to succeed. And they will not entertain, think about, or talk about the possibilities that they’ll fail. They do not even consider the possibility of failure.

 

Positive Thinking Versus Positive Knowing

You always act in a matter consistent with your beliefs. The most important belief system you can build is a prosperity consciousness where you absolutely believe that you are going achieve your financial goals. We call this positive knowing versus positive thinking. Positive thinking can sometimes be wishing or hoping. But positive knowing is when you absolutely know that no matter what, you will be successful.

The Foundation of Willpower

Another principle related to your beliefs is willpower. We know that willpower is essential to any success. Willpower is based on confidence. It’s based on conviction. It’s based on faith. It’s based on your belief in your ability to triumph over all obstacles. And you can develop willpower by persistence, by working on your goals, by reading the biographies of successful people, by listening to audio programs, by reading books about people who’ve achieved success. The more information you take into your mind consistent with success, the more likely it is that you will develop the willpower to push you through the obstacles and difficulties you will experience.

Beat the Odds on Success

Remember that success is rare. Only one person in one hundred becomes wealthy in the course of a lifetime. Only five percent achieve financial independence. That means that the odds against you are 19-to-1. The only way that you’re going to achieve your financial goals is if you get really serious. To succeed, you must get serious. You must get busy. You must get active. You must get going. Remember, everything counts.

Resolve to Achieve Greatly

Self-mastery, self-control, self-discipline are essential for anyone who wants to achieve greatly. And control over your thoughts is the hardest exercise in self-mastery that you will ever engage in. See if you can talk and think about only what you desire and not talk or think about anything that you don’t want for 24 hours. Then you’ll see what you’re really made of. It’s a hard thing to do but with practice, you can reach the point where you are thinking about your goals and desires most of the time. Then, your whole life will change for the better.

Action Exercises

Here are two things you can do to build a belief system consistent with the financial success you desire:

First, continually repeat to yourself the words, pictures and thoughts consistent with your dreams and goals. Whatever you repeat often enough, over and over, becomes a new belief.

Second, set a goal for yourself to think and talk only about the things that you want for the next 24 hours. This will be one of the hardest things you ever do. But if you can keep your mind on what you want and off of what you don’t want for 24 hours, you can begin to change your entire future.
