When faced with a Battle bigger than yourself say the above....
over and over....

It's not about the goal, it's about the game.
Do you concentrate on your goal or on your game?
Do you find yourself setting new goals each year?
Do you spend more time dreaming, planning and goal setting, than actually doing anything?
Do you find yourself trying the same goals over only to fail again?
Have goal or have game?
I have met a rich cat that made his fortune in the Window Business. He started in his garage and built a multi-million dollar empire. One day I asked him if he had a vision that his company growing this big? I anticipated his answer would be how he sat in his garage, made a 10 year plan, marketing strategies, branding, vision and 1001 philosophy of Widow Manufacturing for success. His answer floored and flabbergasted my goal setting mind. He said, "Hell no, I was just trying to make a fucking paycheck."
This rich bastard had no goal.......he only had game.
He spent some much time building, perfecting, selling and hustling his windows to just make a paycheck that he didn't have time to plan. He got so good at the window game that it exploded. Once it exploded he hired Collage Grad Goal setters to help run the business out of sheer need. They knew, and he knew that he knew more about the Window business than them all put together. He could walk on the floor and build any product he offered from Windows to doors. He jumped on fork lifts, dealt with production problems till it was right and was always in blue jeans......He was all game....No goal.
This was a shock to me. This dude couldn't plan a one car funeral. He defied everything I had been taught from Think and Grow Rich, Lead the Field, Unlimited Power, Law of Attraction and every other self-help course I had invested in and taken. Now comes this dude and decides to built windows out of his garage to make a fucking paycheck. He builds some samples and bugs the living hell out of contractors. He builds more samples, makes corrections, listens to recommendations, and keeps discovering and building what contractors wanted. He was sales, production and management......He's only after a check, remember? He succeeds through sheer determination and dedication to the game. He just wanted to build a custom window for his costumers and make a paycheck.
He didn't grow....his creation grew from his determined pressure to make a paycheck and live life on his own terms.
He didn't grow....his creation grew from his determined pressure to make a paycheck and live life on his own terms.
The Fact that he didn't plan pissed me off for a while.
It didn't seem right. I plan. I fail. He fails to plan, but succeeds...This couldn't be right!
The great goal deception.
We heard about goal setting and think it's the means to an end. When I was young I thought if I set a goal and believed it was mine, I would have it. Yet, I couldn't seem to manifest my desires. See my deception was that I put too much emphasis on positive thinking and neglected to take action. I thought I knew all these groovy metaphysical truths and everything was going to plop in my lap. I didn't focus enough on the game.
Have you ever got lost in your dreams?
It's easy to do, you know?
See if you spend too much time dreaming and planning you drift off into fantasy. The Inner you knows that you aren't that serious and you are just in the fantasy. You begin to tell everyone what you are going to do, right? When you start telling everyone what you are going to do you temporally get to live the dream and release all the energy of your vision. You then tell yourself that it will happen one day and one day takes you into the future and into the realm of fantasy.
To live in the fantasy world is a trap.
Trust me you can get stuck.
To live in the fantasy world is a trap.
Trust me you can get stuck.
Your dream gets stuck in the fantasy realm by locking your happiness into the future.
You become all goal.......no game.
Game creates goal.
To play basketball you have to get the ball in the goal, right?
You can just try to throw a few in, but that won't get you in the pick-up game, will it?
You have to learn the fundamentals first.
You have to learn to shoot...dribble...pass...block shots...rebound...block-out...tip in...defense..zones...man to man...and it can go deeper and deeper.
The deeper you go in the learning and perfecting your game, the greater chances you have of making a goal.
You have to learn the fundamentals first.
You have to work on game.
You have to start somewhere and somewhere creates the distance between you and your dream.
The distance is where you learn, perfect and dedicate to your game. You have to travel the distance, you have to declare yourself in the game,you have to walk out on that court and take your shot.....
.......and take another shot.....
.......and keep taking shots.
You win at life by staying in the game....you can't get mad and take your ball and go home!
No Guts....No Glory!
Just be who you are and don't place a monetary value on your work. Don't think "I'll be a success when I get this much and all this stuff". Declare yourself in the game now.
Just be....who you want to be!
That's what I do dig about some of the rap artist of our day.
Some started with nothing.....make shift studios in their basement....no recording contracts....selling Cd's and tee-shirts out of their car trunks....rapping on the corner, the house party and wherever they could spit out their verse. It was them against the world.....a broke guy from the hood...with only a dream....then his homemade Cd's started circulating.....people began to feel him....people started to chatter about him....calling him "Their Boy"....the world started spreading....and one day.....
The guy who was against the world, made the world come knocking!
If you have never experienced the hood, you don't understand the struggle....the hardship...the despair of poverty...to make it from the hood to where they are?
To escape prison, poverty, violence, despair, stabbed, shot, crime, the hustle, hunger, and a feeling of being caught in a trap? A dead end street where millions of God's children suffer and never find peace?
To escape the despair of poverty and find your way to untold abundance?
Is not a miracle, like you may think!
It is sheer guts.
It's about getting in the game.
How hungry are you?
Do you have the power?
Do you have the will?
Have you been through it all?
You have to work on game.
No game....No goal.
You can only begin where you are!
You have to start somewhere and somewhere creates the distance between you and your dream.

Don't have a goal.....be a goal.
My Window man left his little garage everyday in the "Window Business." He just declared his little garage company in the game. He was going to make a paycheck working out of his garage and didn't know any better. He just did it. No marketing, no plan, no branding, no system....just sheer guts!
No Guts....No Glory!
Just be who you are and don't place a monetary value on your work. Don't think "I'll be a success when I get this much and all this stuff". Declare yourself in the game now.

What to do when you make a mess: a magical way to abundance
Have you ever made a mess in your life? Take some advice from a "Master Mess Maker", that discovered how to turn his life around. If there was a self-help motivation series from the 80's and 90's I pretty much jumped on the band wagon. I studied many Spiritual paths, especially what they taught pertaining to prosperity and abundance. I tried a lot of get rich quick stuff, I tried to get rich in mail order and tried some network marketing. I wanted to find something that could turn my life around in 30 days.
I failed a lot.
I messed up a lot.
I won't go into the details. I was doing just that and erased it. The reason being I'm writing a blog post and not a novel. You must trust I know what I am talking about when I talk about messing up. Some of the self-help stuff helped me and I had a good run for about 10 years. Then the divorce. Divorce + drinking + playing music in the pubs + bumming around Florida+ getting arrested = massive mess up. You get the picture.
The experience brought me to a place of nothing. I went through jail, being homeless, legal trouble and starting back from nothing.I literally only had the clothes on my back... It was part of my journey and the stripping away of everything put my ego on the back burner. I had to bounce back from nothing as part of my life's game. So now I can teach others how to bounce back. So no matter how bad you think your mess is, you can bounce back.
Here are the lessons contained in my experiences.
Accept your mess
If what you put out is what you get back, then you created your mess. You can't look for somewhere else to place the blame. You can't spend the rest of your life blaming your parents, your boss or your x-partner. You have to accept full responsibility for your life.
Accepting responsibility gives you control.
One key point in accepting yourself is forgiveness. You have to forgive others who have hurt you and release all past bitterness. Resentment will lead to your ruin. The past hurt you carry towards others only hurts you. Freedom comes when you forgive and release the past. Once you jump this hurdle you can forgive the most important person: YOU!
Forgiveness increases your control over the circumstances of your life. It's no longer, "They did it to me!" You let go and understand that you have the power of choice.....you were once bitter and that bitterness kept you from becoming your own person. It kept you trapped in the past. Through forgiveness you are released from your past and can empower your future with a brand new love for life.
Remember, this is your life and you are responsible for your own happiness, success and well being.

Once you accept responsibility for your life, then you begin to empower your life.
Know you can change
There is nothing you can't change. When you look at your mess with a sense of acceptance you are now empowered to fix it. Once you believe you can fix it the doors will begin to open for you. Wisdom will come your way, opportunities will find you, and change will begin to take place in your life.
Say: I see positive changes taking place in my life....everyday I am getting better and better.
Books will appear in your life.
Positive pics from the net will speak to you.
New positive people will pop into your life.
Opportunities will find you.
Everyday you will improve and empower your life.
What you are trying to do is to create a positivity expectancy for the future...creating empowering thoughts concerning your future. Don't create a future full of worry, fear, poverty and loss. See your future as growing, prosperous and full of opportunity.
You can change...it only takes faith and hope. Faith is the knowing and hope is the feeling. Faith and hope can take you to where you desire to go.
Change requires patience. You have to slow down. You have to wait. You are making small changes in mindset every day and everyday you are creating slow steady change. With the force of patience you can create the life you desire. IT TAKES TIME. So you have to wait. Take your time and keep making daily changes.
You can go!
You can change!

You can go!
You can change!
Exercise Gratitude
Gratitude has magical power. You can't go through life bitchin' and complaining. If you constantly look for a place to place the blame, you are constantly looking for what's wrong. You have to switch your focus on what's right and stop concentrating on your mess. Start cleaning your mess by exercising gratitude. Start your day by thinking of the things you have to be thankful for and see things going well.
Thank God for your food.
The air you breathe.
The things you do have.
The people around you.
Look for what is right in your life.
The more you focus on the positive, the positive things in your life will appear faster and faster.
You have the power to select where you place your focus: Positive or Negative? You can select, right?
You can control how you feel, right? Your feelings is based upon how you choose to respond to a circumstance in life. Choose gratitude and the path of power. Don't allow feelings of despair and doubt to cloud your mindset. You have a thousands things to be thankful for and you can select a life of thanksgiving and praise.
Look for what is right in your life.

You can get out of your mess?
If you quit seeing your life as a mess.

The Plum Tree Prosperity Lesson
My Little Plum Trees
When I was a young lad we had some plum trees in our yard. I loved when the plums were ripe and often ate way too many. I loved the plums and how they hung from the tree beckoning me to grab one. They never forced, begged, or pressured me to snag one. They sold me on the idea by just hanging there and showing off what they had.
I used to preach to the plum trees and used a water hose as a microphone. One day during a heated sermon on a summer day my older brother turned on the hose. Talk about a watered down sermon! I loved the plum trees and couldn't wait till the fruit was ready to be picked.
The Fruit Came From A Tree
The tree stood there solid and just did it's thing.
Does the tree yell out, "Hey, anybody want some of this fruit?"
The fruit attracts people to the tree.
The tree is alive, healthy and full of fresh fruit.
The tree took a long time to produce it's fruit. Nobody gave it much attention until the fruit appeared. Once the fruit appeared people flocked to the tree.
The Tree Started With A Seed
The tree came from the seed. The God seed.
Within that seed was the DNA that would create a tree that would produce fruit. That's how the God Seed works. It has a purpose and intention for the seed. The seed only needed to go into the ground and die. If it lands in the right soil, receives the proper amount of water, and given time it will produce a tree full of fruit.
The seed must be protected from varmints that will dig up the seed and eat it before it has a chance to sprout.
The better your growing conditions the sooner your tree will produced fruit.
Trim off dead, diseased, or broken stems to create a healthy tree.
First the seed must create roots...
...then the trunk...
...the branches grow from the trunk..
...the stems grow from the branch..
...the leaves grow from the stem..
...the total tree produces fruit.
Fruit brings people to the tree.
Take care of the tree and the tree will produce fruit.
People want the fruit before the tree.
Trees take time to grow, don't they?
You can't keep digging up the seed looking for results, can you? If you do that you stop the fermentation process, right? Your dreams need time to ferment, correct? Planning, research, thinking, and launching the seed into the ground is the first step. You must place it in the ground and have faith that it will grow.
The God Seed requires faith. You have to believe it, before you ever see it, right?
The God Seed requires faith. You have to believe it, before you ever see it, right?
You can't let varmints at your seed. Doubt, fear, impatience, worry and lack of vision. You have to believe in that seed you planted and know that even though you can't see it, it doings it's job. You just have to water it, care for it, and protect it from the varmints that will destroy your seed.
One day you will have a tree with abundant fruit.
One day you will have a tree with abundant fruit.
Remember, Seed starts roots, root create sprout, sprout creates trunk, trunk creates branches, branches create stems, stems create leaves, and that creates your tree.
A tree creates fruit.
The Fruit Attracts People To The Tree
People don't rush to seeds, seeds take time, people are impatient.
People don't rush to sprouts. Sprouts are small and go unnoticed.
People don't rush to trunks, tiny branches, little steams, and little leaves. It's just a small tree.
Most people don't have time for little, for small, and for things beginning. It takes a trained eye to see a plum tree in it's infant stage and believe in it's potential. Only a few admire the beginning tree.
Yet one day when the trees time has come, the fruit will appear. After the waiting, the care, the pruning, and believing in the God Seed the tree will come to full power of it's intention. People will take notice of the tree. They will stop their cars and go to the tree to snag it's fruit. They will tell their friends and neighbors that they found a tree with abounding fruit. The news of the tree will spread.
Remember, people want the fruit, but don't want to cultivate the tree first.
People will flock to the tree to taste the fruit.
Remember, people want the fruit, but don't want to cultivate the tree first.
The Tree Wasn't Desperate
The tree did it's thing. It flowed with the nature of things.
It didn't fret because it was a seed in the ground and no one saw it. NO! The seed knew it was time to do roots.The tree to be understood that's where it was in this time of the manifestation process.
You can't rush it...take your time...slow roll.
The tree didn't care it was a sprout. Size didn't matter with the tree. It didn't have to be the biggest and the best to feel good about itself. It was happy to be a sprout. It knew that was it's thing to do now, and that were it was at!. It just soaked up the new sun feeling and was glad it evolved out of the ground. It was happy that it was beginning the next phase of the journey.
You can't rush it...take your time...slow roll.
The tree didn't mind it was a little trunk with just a few branches. He knew what time it was, and was happy he made it from a seed to here. He survived being under ground and making it out. He survived being a sprout and not getting trampled on during the rat race to live. He was content just being a little tree with no fruit to show yet.
You can't rush it...take your time...slow roll.
He knew what time it was...he knew he had to be patient.
One day he became a big tree with fruit, but he didn't get desperate. He didn't heckle the passing cars; he didn't worry if anybody is going want his fruit; he didn't wonder if his plan would work?...he knew he had done his job...he had worked and waited too long to worry now.... He knew the fruit would attract.
You can't rush it...take your time...slow roll.
You can't rush it...take your time...slow roll.
He just hung out..let people know what he was doing..."Hi, I'm Perry the Plum Tree and I make Plums, check these babies out." He didn't fret, worry, or vacillate in desperation. He just hung there and let the fruit shine.
People came and picked his fruit.
He didn't rush it...he took his time...he slowed rolled.
He didn't rush it...he took his time...he slowed rolled.
Fake It Till You Make It!
Sometimes you got to fake it, till you make it.
You got to feel it.
You can only begin where you are,
and you have to know where you are,
and you have to know where you are going!
You have to accept that your seed is in the ground growing roots....that your little trunk is growing your branches...that little stems are coming from the branch... that those first little leaves will sprout for the first time. You have to give your dream time to grow and accept that things take time to manifest in their fullest form. He had to go through the stages of growth and see the beauty of each stage.
One day you will become a tree and know that your tree came from your God Seed. The dream, the vision, the desire for more, that started with a little seed.
Time, Care And Cultivation Bear Fruit
Things take longer to manifest than what you think!
Stamp that on your forehead.
Don't quit before your final payout!
So what if it takes you a few years to manifest your dream? Is that really a big deal? Will you be better off working for a few years before your fruit arrives, or quitting to soon to never see your dreams come to life?
Dreams take time.
Dreams require much care.
Dreams demand cultivating, pruning and dedicated work.
Keep at it is the key.
One day, if you never quit, you will bear fruit.
People will flock to your tree.

Want Some Free Money?
Have you ever lost money?
Every day people lose money, have you? I never really lost a lot, just a ten or twenty. I heard stories of folks cashing their paycheck and losing the whole enchilada. That might damper ones day. What about money you lose and never realized it? You drop a quarter, a dime, a five, a ten, or twenty and you didn't even miss it. A lot of people lose a lot of money and I've had the opportunity to find a lot of money.A Tip from a Teacher
I had a teacher one day tell me to believe that I could find money. To believe that money comes to me. The action point behind the affirmation was to pick up all the money you find. You can't even pass up a penny in the street. When you find the penny you are to thank the Universe for bringing you free money. I started the practice around 1998. I thought I would give it a test drive.
Testing the Tip
So I started the exercise. I kept affirming that money comes to me. Then something weird happened. I started finding pennies. Every day I found more. Then pennies started popping up everywhere. One day I pulled up to a air hose to get air for my tire and I found 66 pennies. After a month I started finding bigger coins...dimes, nickles, quarters and sometimes a mix of coins. I started finding so many I started to record it in a journal.Then it happened.
One day I found a dollar. It flipped me out.
Then I started finding more dollars.
Then a five.
Then some tens.
Then one day a twenty.
Money started coming to me.
On to Bigger and Better
After three years into the practice I had found a lot of cash overtime. Not something I could live on, or depend on, but I did find money on a consistent basis. What stirred in me was the fact that the Affirmation worked and the laws of the Universe were flipping me out. Before this nothing seemed to go my way, I could never catch a break and I felt an inner poverty I could not shake.
Then weird things happened.
A guy I did business with a year ago sent me a check for $1400.00 out of the blue. His company was audited and it was discovered he owed money to me and others he cheated. He got into some type of trouble and was forced to pay us all. The the check was unexpected and sweet. I didn't even know the guy had ripped me off.
After that I have had several nice windfalls, money came out of nowhere.
Money, Mission, Stuff and Flow
I discovered that once you align to your Divine Mission everything comes into your life. The gifts will begin to surpass money alone. Stuff comes into your life. Stuff you need for your Mission. The key is to be in flow. Stuff is moving around, the way you move it around is giving. You have to open up your heart. The Universe might drop something in your lap and use you to disperse it properly.. I went through being homeless at one point of the Journey. Family would send me some bucks and I have ended up giving most of it away. Yet, Spirit made a way, always met my needs, and I only had to do the homeless seminar for two months. I did it and got the tee-shirt. All my needs were met, but I had to give when Spirit Led me too, even if what I was giving was all I had left to give. Giving creates flow.
One day while doing the homeless seminar. I only had five bucks and Spirit told me to give it to this older street lady. I gave her my last five bucks. Without asking someone called me out of the blue and wired me $40.00. That's a trip, isn't it?
Money and stuff is to flow through you. Remember, we can't own anything, and everything is on rent from God.
Why I get free money?
It's been a long time since I did the homeless seminar. One thing it did was open up my heart and create a fresh compassion for others. So while leaving a bank one day after cashing a check, I glanced through the window and saw a homeless guy. Spirit told me to give him $9.00. To be honest Spirit caught me on a day when I didn't feel that Spiritual. I said to my Inner Dude, "SERIOUSLY"...the reply came back, "Don't get hard on me now." I walked across the street and gave the him the $9.00. Then a few blocks later I found a twenty. I thought..,"Man Spirit blessed with with that twenty, because I gave that dude the $9.00."... Then I heard from within,... "finding that twenty had nothing to do with you giving away that money"..., I said, .."Then why did I find it?"... My inner dude then said..., "A guy left his house in total disarray with his money all crumbled up in a mess, because his life is in a mess... He believes that life sucks....that you can never get ahead...if you do get ahead something comes along and knocks ya back down....that's the way he sees the gig. Then you come along...a guy who has been affirming for 16 years that... Money Comes To Me...Your paths crossed and there was an exchange of energy...The guy who believes in LOSS dropped $20.00 fumbling though his pockets looking for his phone... so the Universal Law takes that $20.00 and distributes it to the guy that says and believes...MONEY COMES TO ME...simple really...you both got what you believed."
