Hello all.

This post will show you how to appreciate the little things in life. First, look at something very simple. Look at the sky, or a tree.

Step 1
Look at it this with wonder and awe. Look at it and feel grateful for being able to witness the greatness of being alive and being able to see. Many people overlook the vast beauty in nature. The birds, trees, flowers, ocean water… These are wonderful things that we can appreciate and be in awe of if we pay attention to it enough.

Step 2
Second, Don’t over think the situation. Just be in the presence of awe and wonder as you look at this “thing” The more you witness and are in awe of the little things that nature is presenting, an inner stillness and amazing feeling rushes in your body. This little thing even if it’s for a few seconds of appreciation is special, because you are in tune with the goodness of life even for just a brief moment.

Step3
Third, Teach people how to do this when they are ready. Many people are not ready to appreciate the little things in life yet. But be patient soon they will see the amazing things in such simple things.

I appreciate my readers that have read this post.

“Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.”

How To Win In Life: 3 Steps March 18, 2009

Hello all.
This is post is about How to win at life-Baker Style.

Step 1
First, you need to decide on what you want to be in life. Many people focus on what they want to have and what they want to do. But this is not how you win in life. You need to focus on your inner self. You would first need to know what you would like to be. What kind of story do you want to leave behind? What kind of value, or service did you want to offer? Being has everything to do with what you offer to others, because in essence we are all connected. Thus, what I give to another I am really giving to myself. What we send out we get back.

Step2
When you know what you want to be. Then you have to take the small action steps in the present moment to be the person you want. This does not mean changing drastically overnight. This is a process, a step by step day to day internal searching for yourself. Spend time alone and listen to the silence, it will speak to you. You will feel it is right, instead of thinking it is right. Continue on your path of least resistance, and take on action steps that bring you the most joy in life.

Step3
When you take small action steps that you really enjoy, you will begin to see enthusiasm around you. Remember that the enthusiasm around you is what you created. You create the life you desire, with every thought in action. When you are immersed in your being the doing will take care of the rest. Trust that the joy alone in being you is the act in of itself, to lead you to be a winner in life. Whatever brings you joy, you will find that your true self becomes evident, and when you operate from this level, you are winning in life.

“Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Power of Choice March 11, 2009

Hello all.
The wonderful things I have grown to love about life is the power of choice. When everything is broken down to it’s essence and a decision needs to be made, realize that your choice and freewill is one of the most amazing gifts you have as a human being. Being able to say yes or no to something is an amazing gift, because it keeps you from being a victim to circumstance, and rather a victor.

“Character is the sum and total of a person’s choices.”
-P. B. Fitzwater

The choice you made from reading this blog post today was a great choice, because these words are what I chose to inspire and empower countless people like yourself. When I made this conscious choice, I was filled with joy and amazing energy. This is why I know that as you read these words, you are getting the best wisdom that you will ever find in the world of personal development.

The choice of living a beyond successful life is ultimately yours. There are still people that point blame on others for not being able to reach their goals. There are millions of excuses why they can’t do something. But understand that these same people made a choice somewhere in the past to point blame, and become a victim of their circumstance rather than a victor. In order to be victorious and achieve beyond success, you have to be willing to make the choice and see the benefits of what living this type of lifestyle truly entails.

A beyond successful lifestyle is a “choice” because it is not something that everyone is living. If everyone was doing it, it would be easy. The choice to live a life that is beyond success is a full commitment to oneself. This is not something you look at one day and say, “Yes ideally that would be nice to go beyond success, but I can’t do that right now.” This is a commitment to say yes to what you want to be, do, and have in life, and saying NO to what you do not want to be, do, and have in life.
This is the power of choice.

What The World Is Begining To Understand & The Upside of The Economic Collapse March 7, 2009

Hello all.
The world is beginning to understand many valuable things in these current economic times. When we start to look at all the real life devastation that is happening in the current economy, we start to understand that there is a major upside to this. The upside of the current economic collapse is that we have a shot at regaining our freedom back. This freedom is the same freedom, that was taken away once we depended on our egos and dependent on ideas like the idea of “security.”

“The average man does not want to be free. He simply wants to be safe.”
-H. L. Mencken

The moment someone says something is “secure,” the more they are lying to you because the truth is, there is no such thing as “security” In life you are either moving toward freedom or illusion. Illusion is in trying hard to find security. The truth is that change is the only thing that is constant. The world is constantly changing in these times, “appearing” secure is not the best thing to do right now. It’s better in these times to not know what to do, but focus on freedom, then appear to know what to do and copy what everyone else is doing and cling to security. There are many types of security that are an illusion. Job security is one good example, of an illusion. Job security is an illusion that was an idea that was bought up by the masses that agreed to trust their ego mind. When you begin to trust your ego mind you will fade of in directions that mainstream America has sold you into. This is why what the world is beginning to understand is that job-security really is job-insecurity. If you think about this, when did being secure have to do with hating what you did everyday, being told how much you are getting paid, what time to eat, and answering to a boss that you probably don’t even agree with? That sounds like insecurity to me. The more secure you think you are, the less freedom you actually have. The more you chase after this false sense of security the more freedom you are loosing. After many years of study I have found that you can find truth in freedom. In security you will find a bunch of bent up misleading information.

What the world is really beginning to understand, aside from jobs and career, is that there is only very little that really matters in the world. When you are connected to your inner being and operating at a vibrational level that is truly you, the concepts above don’t really matter much. When you operate out of your real self, not what some boss told you to operate out of, you have a great chance at freedom. By freedom I am talking about freedom of time, money, creativity, thought, speech, resources etc. The concepts that begin to matter when you operate from this higher level, then become about things like the value you are providing to people, or how much are you contributing to society. The upside of the economic collapse is that when it’s all said and done one thing is for sure. As a collective consiousness we will all learn a valuable lesson. This lesson will come in come in many different forms. The lesson of focusing on freedom instead of security will be a major lesson learned.

“Freedom is not something that anybody can be given. Freedom is something people take, and people are as free as they want to be.”
-James Baldwin

For me personally, the way I’m approaching what is ahead is by continually focusing on building my own personal development so I can assist and guide others, in their own personal development. I am constantly learning, growing, and expanding my mind everyday. I do this because I am focused on freedom. My life mission surpasses what mainstream society tries desperately to put me in. God will lead me. The idea of inspiring and empowering countless individuals is not some distant fantasy that I thought of one day and will leave alone, this is my life mission. When people begin to realize the real wisdom that is passed on these blogs, you will wake up to the reality that I live in. This is the reality of Being free.
What the world is beginning to understand that freedom is closer than they may think. They need to change their old way of thinking to change their lives. The upside of the Economic collapse is that it presents you with the time to do so now.
