Deep positivity means that you have Faith that you’ll be okay, no matter what happens. Not if it all works out for you in the end. Not if you get what you want when you think you should get it. No matter what. Deep positivity knows that Life will have your back even when you don’t manifest what you want: Danielle LaPorte, White Hot Truth.

Want do you want in your life, is is just for your benefit or the benefit of others? I recently did an exercise where one of the most powerful questions was what did I have to give to society, I answered it with my words and my wisdom, when you get to 62, 63 next Monday you have a fair bit of both.

So I put Deep Positivity in Google Images and the following quotes are what caught my eye, let’s journey:

1. One of the dangers in life, becoming a workshop junkie and not using the new distinctions you have learnt in your day to day experience.

2. I got a Facebook friend request yesterday from a woman who I used to once consider among my 5 dearest friends, she moved away. I’m glad she is back in my life: Old Friends.

3. 6 Mental health episodes later, I fully agree with this statements, some people are saints, others sinners.

4. Marvelous is the power of thought. Thinking is as natural to man as breathing. Thought has lifted man above the level of the animal world. It has raised him from the savage to the civilized state in life. Man’s thought rules the world. The power to think is man’s most precious right and his proudest privilege. How are you going to use this skill: Always on my Mind.

5. I recently have been working on a database of people who are considered gurus and thought leaders by our society. The amazing thing about these people is that they were just ordinary folk until they discovered their why in life.

6. They are free to give, share widely: Something Just Like This.

7. And this is why you give them, share widely!!!

8. I am part of a Facebook group called the Daily Gratitude Space, it’s all about joy, join us: Dancing Queen.

9. My favourite colour is purple, what’s yours?

10. These make my list along with long pushbike rides, conscious dancing – deep positivity: Hurricane.

11. Still knocking? Get the message, it’s positive too.

12. We all love those pictures of babies living in awe of the world, you job is to never forget: Light up the World.

13. The profound quote!!!!!!!!

14. And my wish is ……………………………..: A dream is a wish your heart makes.

Woodstock 1969, drugs , sex and rock’n’roll. Those people were your grandparents, Respect please.

Be positive for yourself, for others. I live by my why – Love and Respect for All – Everyone Included. This is a worldwide vision. I invite you on the journey.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

Thanks for your kind Words!!

So how will the world include this to my recipe, let’s have a look:

.1. I met one of my best friends pretending to be a tree at a party in North Carlton in the 1980’s. Not to many trees at that party.

2. Are we the only planet dwellers in this large universe, the only starseed that can think for itself, I don’t think so: Starman.

3. If you don’t make the effort of kindness on a daily basis how many people will live in this space?

4. There are 7 billion versions on the planet, some people seem to have forgotten though: You are so beautiful to Me.

5. Today was the birthday of a friend of mine who passed tragically and unexpectedly last year, she was one of my kind and I miss her greatly. Happy Birthday whichever plane you are on.

6. Try this, it doesn’t work: Put it Down.

7. Remember that those not showing you love and respect: It’s their stuff not yours.

8. I had a friend recently who has strong opinions about the danger of muslims in our country. So I asked him the question I always ask someone who makes this kind of statement: Have you ever met a muslim, the answer was no of course: Advice.

9. I have 4,800 Facebook friends, a lot of musicians, american female life coaches, and the conscious movement of Melbourne but how did I get the CEO of Northern Airlines in the USA as one. I know this because I write each one of them a personal Facebook Birthday Card.

10. Watch their actions, they speak louder than their words: Actions not Words.

11. a transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self, and the subject is released from the effects of karma and the cycle of death and rebirth. It represents the final goal of Buddhism.

12. This form of kindness might just save the planet: Enough.

13. You can’t read all the words, but you get the vibe of it.

14. Snap: You just have to love Bollywood: Made for Each Other.

15. I am part of a year long Activators training program and we are working on this theory, it takes something special, such as Love and Respect for All – Everyone Included.

Just got back from a weekend retreat with my mentor Arion Light: The Activation School. We never know what new surprising empowerment will be served up. This weekend it was an initiation. So what does society define an initiation as, here’s the Google definition:

initiation

noun

1.

the action of admitting someone into a society or group, typically with a ritual.

“rituals of initiation”

synonyms: beginning, starting, commencement
2.

the action of beginning something.

“the initiation of legal proceedings”

synonyms: introduce, admit, let, induct, install, instate, incorporate, ordain, invest, enlist, enrol, recruit, sign up, swear in;

convert

I think ordain is the closest to what I felt on the weekend because it felt like being introduced to a whole new cut at life. So how has society commented on the noble art of initiation over the years, let’s have a look:

1. It is, or it isn’t: why would you choose the latter, yet I know I do. Inition helped me greatly with hanging around with it is.

2. My friend says she became another person when this happened for her at a very late stage in her life, from the mothers I know there seems to be a lot of truth in it: I Got You.

3. I’m not sure if we all felt this at the end of the ceremony, but the sense of love within the room was palpable.

4. They say a life that is spent in reacting and responding to day to day situations and circumstances is stressful, let’s initiate life from today: Shape of You.

5. It’s a lifetime journey, my dear friends.

6. That’s why I and the participants are in the Activators program, the love of learning how to live a better life: Good Life.

7. One of the first spiritual books I read,The Way of the peaceful Warrior. Dan Millman was a world class gymnast when he had a horrific motorcycle accident. The book is about his journey to recovery with his teacher.

8. We were just waking up who we already were: The Crazy Ones.

9. Within first, then the without joins in happily.

10. I wonder what I and you have written on your internal sticky notes: Song for the Inner Child.

11. We weren’t learning how to initiate this, ours was about love.

12. This was part of my initiation, I spent a lot of time having the thought, WTF is going on: Full of Shit.

13. The initiation for me was to release the last two statements.

14. You can’t know it all, yes, he and I are talking to you: In case you didn’t know everything.

15. Finally from one of the greatest philosophers to walk the planet, something that must be included in any effective initiation: Gratitude or celebration as we practice it in the Activators Program.

We were asked to make a final statement at the end of the weekend, mine were rapturous contentment

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

It changes the entire Conversation!!

I’m an one on one English tutor at Darebin Intercultural Centre in Preston, Victoria, Australia. My student didn’t turn up this morning and I had printed her a lesson called Making Contact. I put this in Google Images and it brought up hundred of quotes on making eye contact, transfiguration by another name.

My friend Chris runs these amazing transfiguration events where you share eye contact with 20 different people over the evening and you finish with a I Love you Circle. This was not what I expected when I typed the words in so let’s have a look at some of these quotes and how they can be interpreted:

1. Kids get it, but adults have had the joy and imagination beaten out of their imagination.

2. Making eye contact with a total stranger was how I met my first true soulmate, on a railway station of all places: Soul on Fire.

3. I heard about living your highest values from John Di Martini the other night but what I will remember most is the friendly single mum from Tasmania I met in the line when our eyes crossed.

4. If you want what you say to land with the person you are speaking to make sure you have grabbed their attention: Don’t Look Down.

5. I make Chai at Mojo dance once a month, I dance with a women who I have screamed at, we have serious trouble looking into each other’s eyes, I hope she reads this.

6. This has happened to me three times in the past month, one of them was 22 years old. What is my soul trying to tell me: Friends.

7. I love the word lovely, Yummy.

8. Yahia Lababidi is an Egyptian-American thinker and Pushcart-nominated poet, whose work has been translated into nearly a dozen languages. To date, is the author of 4 well-received books, in 4 different genres: Signposts to Elsewhere (aphorisms), Trial by Ink: From Nietzsche to Bellydancing (essays), Fever Dreams (poems), and most recently, The Artist as Mystic (conversations): Heart’s on Fire.

9. I just had too because it is so silly.

10. I have always had trouble reading Dostoyevsky, Hahaha: S.E.X.

11. When you eye gaze with 20 different people it helps take this habit away, thank you for your ceremony , Chris.

12. One of my best friends met his life partner on a bus to Sydney when this happened: I’m Into You.

13. And, Yes I love Ram Dass, check him out. It’s not the christian God he is talking about.

14. Sarcasm is a beautiful thing, shit women have to put up with all the time: Stop staring at my Boobs.

15. And then there are times this has to be the next action.

Well, Eye contact, AKA transfiguration is a very powerful tool for connecting with your fellow human beings, practice it as often as you can.

Namaste until next time, my dear friends.

Life will love you Back!!

You may not have heard of Marc and Angel Chernoff, yet they are two of the greatest list writers on the net, their book 1,000+ Little Things Happy Successful People do Differently is a gem, their internet site http://www.marcandangel.com is amongst my top ten sites at the moment. I opened the book today and a list about loving what is came up. Byron Katie is probably better known for this phrase but for me Marc and Angel run a close second.

Let’s have a look at some of the copious quotes that exist on this empowering subject:

1. Freedom and Happiness, I’ll take a dose of them anytime.

2. Do you keep your promises in this area, not easy to do sometimes: Keep your Word.

3. Are you following the where the love is path?

4. How much do we love the art of Vincent van Gogh: Vincent van Gogh.

5. It is hard to love your life without loving all stages of it, the past, the present and the future.

6. Not what you would expect from a Rugby League coach, but gets to the point: If it’s lovin that you want.

7. I’m part of a Facebook group called The Daily Gratitude Space, if you need a pickup or a place to express what you are grateful for , join us.

8. Would a list on Loving what you love be complete without Wayne Dyer, I don’t think so: How deep is your Love.

9. Anger is the root of misunderstanding between people, nations and species.

10. When we have lost contact, this is a way to recall loving memories that we have experienced in our life: Photograph.

11. My friend Tanishka finishes all her writing with blessings on your day, a beautiful practice for expressing loving what is.

12. How do you continue when your mind and body want to toss it in? Your heart is still there rooting for you: Listen to your Heart.

13. Napoleon Hill was an American self-help author. He is well known for his book Think and Grow Rich (1937) which is among the top 10 best selling self-help books of all time. Hill’s works insisted that fervid expectations are essential to improving one’s life. Most of his books were promoted as expounding principles to achieve “success”.
