Good fortune will occur if you expect it to happen and have decided that you deserve it.
Your life will be as good as you have decided it will be; expect it to be; and feel that you deserve . . . or not.
Expectations are powerful magnets for attracting things, people, and opportunities toward you – [...]

VIBRATIONS EBONY

Vibrations ebony, resonate sympathetically through the walls, constructing an invisible but palpable web of reality, perceivable only by those initiates who have lived the life on the inside; where it permeates every inch of space, sucking out all available oxygen and replacing it with a lifestyle completely foreign to anyone on the street.
A universe reversed; [...]

THOUGHTS ON THE ARTS

1. Don’t let “you” get in the way of your art. Let your art flow through you and let you flow through your art.
2. That which makes you different and interesting is that you’re not normal.
3. Unpredictable = interesting. Predictable = the same old soup warmed over.
4. [...]
MY POINT OF VIEW

From my point of view . . .
To be maintained, life, liberty and freedom require outward contribution as well as that held from within.
Universal concepts of truth, integrity, and morality become meaningless unless a willingness to preserve them is demonstrated.
The power of the group is the individual – the power of the individual is [...]

Is there really a secret basis of success?
I’m often asked this question and I love to respond – because the answer is imbedded in the question – and understanding the concepts at work, (basis, success and the secret) will reveal your own secret basis of success.
Lets jump in, okay?
Basis: My well-worn friend (the dictionary) provides [...]
DO IT ANYWAY

I like this poem – attributed to Mother Teresa, and said to be engraved on the wall of her home for children in Calcutta. It is an adaptation of the Paradoxical Commandments by Kent M. Keith. It is not only true but it’s extremely relevant to our lives today.
At this time on this planet, [...]

LIKE YOURSELF FIRST

You can’t fake it . . . so don’t even try.
It happens without speaking a word – yet what you’re transmitting speaks volumes . . . loudly. It’s also the first thing people notice about you.
It’s your attitude about yourself – something that you’re broadcasting to others all the time – for better or worse.
