We as human beings have the ability to speak, which means to have access to what has been taught and what has been thought. We also have the ability to talk, which means to have access to the wisdom within. To speak and to talk might mean the same thing but are energetically different. The difference between them is to let our lives be dictated by others or being true to our inner selves - the most profound and important thing we can do to honor our life. We all have access to this wisdom and we all have the choice to dare to feel or to push the emotions aside, thereby creating a distance to ourselves. No one else but us can make the decision of how to respond to the outer world or to be true to what is going on within us.
We use the word human being and assume that the word speaks for itself. We often do not acknowledge that there are two different parts to a human being. The human is our way to control the outer world, the way we were taught, the way we think, analyze and qu...

I'm Dallas Jessup (17) and I'm Calling All Heroes - Age 7 to 24, your country and the world need you.
I used to think I was unique as a kid who created a non- profit which grew into 43 countries. My photo was on Doritos bags, the big screen at Times Square in New York, and I get to hang out with celebrities but it turns out I'm just one of a thousand kids who are saving the world in a hundred ways and we're seeing thousands of other kids join us on the frontlines of youth activism every month.
Have you ever thought of starting a service project but backed off because you're too young or you think your mom's charity is lame? Well, you're not alone I get to meet kids every week when I'm out speaking at schools across the country. At every middle school or high school, it doesn't matter whether it's in rural Texas or in Boston, kids share the same message. They want to do something that will change the world but they don't know where to start and they really want it to be t...

Ask yourself this question every day of your life, "Am I doing everything I could with everything I am given?" You want to be able to answer "Yes I am giving it my all".
No matter where you are, no matter what you've been through and no matter what takes place during your day, whether positive or negative, look to see where it serves you and your mission. It is never about what's going on around you, it is about what's going on inside of you that counts.
There are many times when it is easy to quit or give in to what others say you "should" be doing or what you "have" to do or what you "ought" to be doing. It is a matter of believing in who you are, what you are passionate about and what you are worth and what value you bring to the world.
If you know what you are worth then go out and get what you are worth and be willing to take the challenges that come your way and keep moving forward. It is a matter of being tru...

Energize your imagination to get more of what you want - Be as specific as you can with how it feels, tastes, sounds, smells, to live your dream now. Write your dream down in words that makes you feel good when you read it and read it daily.
Make Your Dream a priority by setting up systems of accountability to get what you want - Set up a master mind group, hire a coach, dedicate time everyday to focus on your dream daily, offer to help people who have achieved your dream.
Set specific parameters for your dream so you become a filter for only things that you want - Get very clear exactly what you want so when distractions come along that say "I'm more important than your dream," you can say no thanks. You are not my focus right now. My dream is this. You're not a match. Goodbye!"
Create anchors in your subconscious that alerts you when you are getting exactly what you want. (mind maps, mind movies, your future success stories) - If you get really clear ab...

I often ask my patients struggling with a life issue, "Do you deserve to be happy?" More often than not, I receive a tenuous answer. "I'd like to say I do, but I'm not so sure" is a fairly typical response. Or I may hear, "I can't remember anyone in my life ever telling me it's my right to be happy." Well, if you haven't heard it before, hear it now: YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY!
Although relatively few of us were told during our upbringing that the expansion of happiness is the purpose of life, most people sense somewhere in their soul that more joy ought to be part of the equation. How, then, do we move from a state of constriction to a state of ever greater freedom and happiness? The first step towards genuine awakening is setting the intention . . . deciding to live a life that reflects your right to happiness.
You are powerful, intelligent, and interesting. You are complicated and valuable. You are attractive. You are a good person. You ar...

Putting the "I" Back in InspIre
If you start with "I", InspIratIon leads to magic, miracles and dreams beyond your wildest imagination. ~ Pilar Stella
As I sat down to write this piece, I thought about the word "InspIre." No wonder the word starts with the letter "I" and "U" is no where to be found. Yet, isn't it interesting that when we think of the word InspIre, it is often to think of who InspIres us and is even more likely to be answered with some external person, mentor or idol?
What if we began to truly see the "I" in InspIre and recognized the ways in which we InspIre ourselves and others? Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful thing to be InspIred by others. But in some ways, perhaps, isn't it like reality TV? That is, people watch how other people live their lives in interesting, strange and often unique ways, while they sit on their couches dreaming of another life, or what their life could be like.
What if instead of watching other people live cool...

We live in the most technologically advanced times in our history, we can send people to the moon, invent I Phones, yet our world seems to be in a state of chaos. These are indeed intense times: war, terrorism, uncertainty, as well as technological advancements, and material wealth. Yet we are also plagued with great "soul poverty" and a famine of inner fulfillment. Often losing sight of what is real, and truly important.
My message is simple: LOVE.NOW!
Growing up on 4 different continents, and seeing the reality that people from diverse walks of life live daily has deeply touched my heart. Whether it be the poorest slums in India, or the the forgotten villages in Africa. I have been touched by the rawness of life and what it means to be human. On the surface we may seem different but at the core we are all the same. We are ONE. We are all One river flowing from and to the same place. We are all being breathed by the same Source.
Everyone wants to be lov...

As I write this, it is nearly October, harvest time. Driving down the lane, through the woods this morning, signs were everywhere. The leaves, drenched in russet, gold, and autumn shades of green. Three deer paused in the act of eating breakfast from a neighbor's garden. Their brown, velvety coats, simply beautiful. Mother Nature has designed magnificent creatures.
And then, I thought of you, and began to wonder just what might be useful for me to share with you, at this particular time in your life. You and I have seen the news. Isn't it funny how obsessed we can be on what is not going well? Despite our Monkey Mind's preoccupation with worry and doubt, Mother Nature continues unfolding Her seasons, despite our inattention.
One of the most important things I've learned from Her is the necessity of trusting the process. She is an ever present teacher of the truth '...for everything there is a season....' Not a day goes by when I am not remin...

If today were my last day on earth I would tell the world to be thankful. Gratitude is such a simple thing yet so often we forget to be thankful. Every day we face challenges and yes sometimes things don't go our way but more often the small things in our lives go fantastically well. Yet we're so focused on the negative we forget about the small good things in our lives. For me I truly learned about gratitude on a mission trip to South Africa in 2008. I met families in the squatter camps of Johannesburg who had no material possessions, no electricity and no running water yet they were happy. Do you know why they were so happy? They were happy because they knew how to be thankful. The mothers were thankful for their children being healthy, the fathers were thankful to have work and the children were thankful to have a family. The families in South Africa knew that even though they only had a little in truth they had everything. The families in South Africa taught me the true meanin...

Noah benShea's Ten Tips for Tough Times
1. Being broke is not the same as being broken,
losing money is not the same as being lost,
and finding your balance is not something you can do on a balance sheet.
2. Don't confuse having less with being less,
having more with being more,
or what you have with who you are.
3. Slow down.
What you're chasing may be trying to catch you.
4. Prayer is a path where there is none.
5. Put your faith and not your fears in charge.
6. God only gave you two arms.
If you're busy hugging the past you can't embrace the future.
Don't let the past kidnap your future.
7. This too shall pass.
Change is the only constant.
In order to take a breath you must release your breath.
8. Do what you can,
but never forget that letting go is very different from giving up.
9. Break the rules that are breaking you.
Tough times don't require you to be tough on yoursel...

Hidden Gems of Wisdom
Many years ago I was leading a Vision workshop in Nantucket. It is one of my favorite workshops because participants have the opportunity to explore their dreams and create a wonderful vision board.
I started by having people introduce themselves and share what their intention for the weekend. As we were going around the room, we came upon a 90-year-old woman who I assumed was just there for the company.
Instead, to my surprise she stated, "I came to find out what I want to do with the rest of my life." After the workshop she told me that she was planning a trip to Europe and then "who knows!" What a gift to have provided for the group. Sheer proof that life is an unfolding journey with endless possibilities!
Life can offer many gifts if you are open to receiving them. Since experience has taught me that anyone can be a voice of spirit, I tend to pay attention to conversations with strangers. A few weeks ago, I was ri...

This moment, right now, is all that you can truly know. Regardless of what you may have done in your past, or the fears that you may have of the future, give thanks that you are here now.
You are beautiful and deserve to know the gift that you are to the world. Honor the mistakes you have made, for everyone makes them, but seek the lessons that they may have to teach you.
There is only one you. No matter how many people you compare yourself to, or how much you try to please others, no one can ever be who you are, as you can never be who they are. Honor the path that you have traveled, be proud of who you are in this moment, and give thanks for the opportunity to have another day.
Life will not be easy, you will be hurt, you will lose loved ones, your finances, relationships, jobs, living arrangements, and physical appearance will all change. No matter what may occur in your life, good or bad, know that it is a part of the greater good in why you are here.
You can be, have, or achieve anything you desire as soon as you decide to be, have, or achieve it. It's your choice. ~Alan Underkofler

Identify what you want, what you want achieve, and what your dream is. Not just any dream, identify your burning desire; the one dream you may or may not think is attainable. The one dream that no matter what someone says or does, no matter what obstacle is placed in front of you, and no matter how long it takes, you will achieve. Identify the one dream you MUST achieve for you!
We all have one, some of us have two, and others have many... Identify one.
And then do whatever it takes to achieve it! Whatever it takes, go back to school, borrow money, ask for help, beg your friends to support you, fail, fail again, and fail twenty more times. Just keep going, keep going after your dream. Remember this is the one dream you identified! This is what makes you.... You! And no matter what happens, no matter how long it takes, it's worth it, because this is your one dream!
And once achieved, once you have completed your journey, look around... Enjoy the moment; think about ...

I am sitting in a self-development workshop the year is 1989 and I am 52 years old. The leader asks us to think of three things we'd love to do before we die and likely never will. My "Bucket List"...climb Kilimanjaro, climb the Matterhorn and see Everest Base Camp. What, I'm not a climber? Little did I know where those wishes would take me.
Fast forward to May 22, 2007. It is 8:08 in the morning and I am standing at 29.035' on the top of Mt. Everest, the world's tallest mountain. Aside from two (2) Japanese I am the oldest person in the world to do so. Since 2002 I have now stood on the highest point on each of the seven (7) continents.
I reflect . . . what does all this mean and what have I learned along the way. Clearly, it's not normal for a person, just two months shy of his 70th birthday, to have climbed to the top of the world. But then, what is normal, other than a perception we collectively have bought into and now believe as true? Aren't the only limi...

When I was 3, I was diagnosed with Type1Diabetes. I had to spend several days in the hospital and my parents had to learn to give me shots of insulin several times a day and weigh my food every time I ate. Instead of feeling sorry for me, my parents explained how my body worked with the insulin and food and they stressed how important keeping healthy was, especially exercise. My parents also stressed to always look for the positive, and my diagnosis made my parents change their schedules so one of them was always with me while the other one worked, and I developed a very strong bond with each of them because of it.
As I grew, I became an avid whitewater kayaker and spent many hours in rivers and whitewater parks. At 6, I flipped over in my kayak and became afraid of the water, so I asked my Dad to put me back in our 2 person kayak and we started over again until I was comfortable. Then I learned to roll my kayak at the age of 7, and took off from there! I started entering com...

How to Rule the World from your Couch
I have heard the term "uncertain times" used too frequently in the last year. When were times certain? In business and life it is always essential to be pro-active, plastic, and prepared. We should never assume that things are "certain," because this will only set us up for a great fall. In business, and especially in an economic downturn, it is the intuitive company that thrives. Those actual "out of the box" ideas thrive in unsettled times. It's not worth waiting for miracles to happen, or things to get better. You must create the future on your own terms.
How to Rule the World from Your Couch was my answer to the companies that asked me for a linear guide to a non-linear process: intuition. Sun Tzu, the Chinese military sage said, "Every battle is won before it is ever fought," and I couldn't agree more. An integrated, intuitive process allows each of us to be a well-prepared, successful lea...

If I had to condense the wisdom of my life into a page to leave as my legacy, here's the most valuable information that I've learned in my life. I hope it inspires you to fully live your dreams.
You know the key to A Brilliant Life as I see it , is to always, always, always listen to yourself first. We all have our own unique guidance system within us that comes from the spirit side of us. It is there to keep us on track to our own unique destiny. Often the road along the way doesn't resemble where we want to go, so we think we are on the wrong road... However, it is just the trip there, and of course it doesn't resemble where we will end up, because we're not there yet. If you plan a trip to London and stop in 4 other countries on the way there, none of them will look like London, but you are still on track to get to London are you not? So, stop judging the trip, and just enjoy it, you will arrive at your true destination in due course. ...
