Life Lessons from Break Dancers on Bourbon Street

This entry was originally published at Viral Happiness

During a recent weekend trip to New Orleans, we watched break dancers on Bourbon Street. They were great - exceptionally talented. But, it was more than just their physical talent; they also had a great presentation, a great connection with their audience, and evident passion for their profession. It became immediately apparent that these guys had been together for a long, long time - they were exceptionally polished.

Last week, I was watching a TV competition called America’s Got Talent, and there were the same guys I had seen in New Orleans. They told a very moving Hurricane Katrina story. Their personalities were evident. They had won over the audience and the judges before they performed. And then they performed exceptionally well.

So what does this have to do with  Viral Happiness? Just this. Success is a necessary aspect of happiness, and success leaves clues.These guys were polished. These guys were passionate. These guys had put in lots of practice. And these guys told a great story. You can watch their performance below.

Do you want to manifest satisfaction and success in your life’s work? Take a cue from these break dancers.  Be passionate. Practice. Let your personality shine through. Tell a great story. And do what you love. That’s the real key. Do you currently love what you do everyday? You’ll never be passionate about your life’s work until you do. How do you discover what your passion might be? Feel free to suggest your favorite ways in a comment below, and we’ll discuss those and other great methods in a subsequent post.

We Can Do Miracles

This entry was originally published at Viral Happiness

I began my online journey two years ago, but I’ve been preaching my happiness gospel all of my adult life. And like most people, my ideas have developed and formed over time. I’m influenced by books, teachers, experiences, and simple conversations.

I have been enlightened by the ‘chance’ reading of a new blog post or by stopping to watch a particular program as I’m channel-surfing. There are lessons everywhere, if we just take the time to look.

Recently, I was reading Dr. Joseph Murphy’s, ‘The Power of Your Subconscious Mind,’ and something that I read sent me to look up a passage or two in the Bible about the power of belief. Was Christ sincere when he said that we can move mountains with our belief? I certainly think so. I know we tend to grossly underestimate what we are capable of doing.

We can do miracles, but we don’t really believe that we can do miracles. We can change our lives with the power of thought and belief, but, so often, we never make the change we say we want. So what’s stopping us?

We are. We stop ourselves, time after time.

We doubt; we make choices that are incongruent with our stated goals; we quit trying.

Please understand this fact: You are the only person who is ultimately in charge of you. No guru or path or teaching or tradition can ‘magic’ you into a different person unless YOU make the decision to be that different person.

Do you want to change something in your life? Then change it. You are not locked into any pattern with out your permission. No one controls you but you. Every decision you make is just that…a decision that YOU make, not someone else.

What do you want to do? Answer that question, and then go do it.

What do you want to be? Figure that out, and then go be it.

And, if you feel like something is stopping you, that’s fear. Fear is a charlatan and a thief. Fear is that voice in your head that tells you, “Don’t try, you may fail, and then people will laugh at you.” Or “Don’t speak up, someone may disagree with you and not like you.” Don’t ever let others opinions keep you from doing what is best for you.

You are not here to please others. You are here to discover just how wonderful you are, and to discover how you can best serve others and develop your passion. If you are truly ‘fearfully and wonderfully made,’ which you most certainly are, it is time for you to begin living like it.

And that’s where my passion comes in…that’s my service…to give you tools to facilitate change…to help you release the stuff that’s holding you back…to help you find your own happy way.

Hopefully, you find some inspiration and tools in these blog posts; that’s my goal. But, if you’d like a more indepth, interactive process, I am continuing to develop a plan for a webinar, and I would really like to hear your opinions. What subjects should it cover? Who would you like to see as a special guest? Please share your thoughts.

I’m also developing a plan for personal coaching though email and by telephone. If you have any suggestions or ideas about these services, I’d love to hear them.

If you’re willing to share your thoughts, I will readily see them if you comment on this blog. If you’d rather not share in this public forum, please feel free to email me.

But first, just believe. Believe that there is a better life than the one you are living now. Believe that your possibilities are deeper and broader than you can possibly imagine. Believe, and watch your own personal miracles begin to unfold.

You really can move mountains.

Mr. 2020

This entry was originally published at Viral Happiness

I’ve made some great connections through twitter.com (if you haven’t joined twitter, do it now - you’ll be glad you did). One of my most interesting connections has been with Mr 2020.

That’s his legal name - 2020. He’s serious about vision and focus…so serious that he felt compelled to change his name. You can read that story at exhostage.com, but I’m writing today to send you to another one of his sites, nlplive.com.

He’s giving away a wonderful audio - you don’t even have to sign-up for a list. It’s about the difference between networking and building relationships, and I give it two thumbs way up. Go and listen. You’ll be glad you did.
