Impassable; The Uninitiated Need Not Apply...

Imagine this...

You are walking along the Path of Obtainment, suddenly the trail comes to an abrupt end. Before you is an enormous canyon. A canyon so enormous, that for a moment you believe the canyon is impassable. You take a small step back from the edge, suddenly you gaze across the canyon and there sits perfectly transformed, the physical equivalence of your Desire of Purpose. That's right, standing back, you realize that the canyon is the only thing that stands between you and the transformation of your Desire of Purpose.  

The Transformation of your Desire of Purpose...

HOW?!? do you get there; HOW?!? do you cross the impassable canyon?

Like you, I have found myself asking this very same question many times through-out my life. In all truthfulness, I AM at this point right now. Don't let me fool you, Dreaming, Creating and Living my Desire of Purpose, transforming OneGR8Life.com into it's physical equivalence for the Improvement of the Human Condition, is a Huge Undertaking. Just to make it really exciting, I cut a deal with the source of Universal Intelligence. The deal is to bootstrap OneGR8Life.com into existence. That's right, bootstrap, there can be no withdrawal from personal savings or cash reserve in order to get this done. Why would I do this? I'd do this for you! Sure, I could buy my way into your life, as many before me have done. But, in my mind, that would not increase your belief in the concepts and practices that differentiate OneGR8Life.com from any other model, program, or product available.  Besides, a majority of you will find yourself in exactly this same circumstance... holding a great notion, idea, or thought, that is worthy of transformation into physical equivalence, yet, you are limited in time and budget. Am I wrong? No, I don't think so. You and I share more in common, than we share in difference. So, crossing the impassable canyon is absolutely no different for me than it is for you. Well, maybe just a little, I've had a few more years to practice.

Regardless, of your individual perception of the size or complexity of your Desire of Purpose, you get through its transformation the very same way... time-after-time. It is exactly for this reason, that the Energy Flow of Transformation must travel from Within-Outward. The transformation of your Desire of Purpose into its physical equivalence occurs in this EXCHANGE; You link together, from within, the Energy available through the Carriers of Transformation to overcome your inner fear. Transformed you have Become; from here forward you will initiate the Obtainment of your Desire of Purpose from within-outward.

A Simplistic EXAMPLE...

Allow me the opportunity to introduce you to my wife, Janice. We meet pretty early in life; I was walking aimlessly - not yet committed to a collegiate pursuit. Janice was just finishing High School as an accomplished swimmer. We dated for seven years before we married, no sense in rushing a good thing. We were happy being with each other and knew marriage would just happen. We have remained married since October 27th, 1984 - you do the math.

We have been flush and we have been broke. We have both engaged in careers as employed and self-employed. For shits and grins, in 1991, we pulled up stake and moved to Bozeman, MT.  Just the two of us... knowing no one... Leaving a life of comfort and ease, physically separating from family and friends, with a couple thousand dollars in our pockets.

Janice answered a newspaper add which was looking for a swim coach in town. It paid, just under $1,000/month. I had no job prospects. As a matter of fact, it took me just over one year to create an opportunity of sustainable income. Thanks, to a very generous couple from Minneapolis, MN., through whom, we attracted to ourselves just enough income to keep a roof over our head, the lights on, and food on the table. We survived our 10-year Bozeman experience touching the lives of hundreds. In exchange for the lessons learned we left a wake of successful, Doctors, Nurses, Teachers, Business Owners, Real Estate Agents, Sales Professionals, Moms, Dads; for ever influencing the lives and direction of contribution for this Rocky Mountain town and region. Not to say that it was all roses and apple pie... like the transition of any project, times were tough. For the first three years, all we could afford was a $5.00 wood permit to harvest enough firewood to keep the wood burner going through the winter.

This period of time unfolded to me AMBITION, the Necessity of Purpose, as the starting point of the OneGR8Life concept. The study of HOW?!?

The OneGR8Life format has gone through many renditions, based in trial and error. Through its practice and application it has started ventures, it has increased sales and revenue, it has created calm and internal peace of mind, it has provided personal improvement and human development and has been used as the basis for transformation to corporate culture. I AM confident that with just a little Ambition on your part, you can learn to use it to transform your Desire of Purpose into its physical equivalence.

---      ---      ---

Mindful Moments (Thoughts for you to Take Away):  

In my Ambition to transform my notion, idea or thought, into its physical equivalence, I have attracted to myself a resource of incredible opportunity. This resource has been proven and is repeatable for the transformation of Purpose. I will learn to use this tool, for the the delivery of my Desire of Purpose and the  Improvement of the Human Condition.

Up Next…  

We launch on to the next stepping on our Map to Obtainment… AFFIRM.  Hope that you will join me as we piece together the action plans for the transformation of your Desire of Purpose.

Opening the Door to Infinite Inspiration & Motivation

DISCOVER...

This is such an exciting time, with our Map to Obtainment in hand, you are in hot pursuit of the Obtainment of your Desire of Purpose. Thanks to our SYNC Exercise you get ready to move forward with your unique WHO values settled into place. Now we can make preparations to expand WHAT and to gain a wider understanding of HOW; to make this happen we will need to DISCOVER our infinite source of Inspiration and Motivation. This no minor task! This Inspiration and Motivation must be significant enough to overcome all future restraints.

Before we get started I want to share a story that I picked up from the sports pages of my local newspaper. It’s not a front page cover story… It’s not about crowning a champion, or a story about some heroic athletic performance; or is it? I found the story buried on page two, at the bottom. I can only guess that it was picked-up from AP writer Tim Reynolds, and used as layout filler.

It is a very heartwarming story of two total strangers, one, Mr. Jim Palma, of whom is afflicted with terminal pancreatic cancer, the second, Mr. Jim Larranaga, whom is the head men's basketball coach for the University of Miami, Hurricanes. Palma lives in Stamford, CT, Larranaga in Coral Gables, FL., the two have never met, the only tie of commonality… Palma, a WWII Navy Vet, attended the University of Miami in the 1940s. He played basketball as a freshman; He never made the Varsity squad, you don’t find his name in any official program records, he wasn't a Varsity letter-winner at the school.

Larranaga learns of Mr. Palma’s condition from a letter written by Mr. Palma’s Daughter-in-Law. Her intention, she was hoping that someone at the University could find it in their heart to forward a picture of the 2014-2015 Hurricanes basketball team. Her motivation, She wrote the letter as an act of kindness for her ailing Father-in-Law. She hoped that this picture would lift his spirits.

What happens next is a little-thing, to those who stopped reading this, it may actually have been rendered as useless. But here is the big thing… Every moment we take action, and the energy of those actions have a ripple-effect into the countless lives that we are connected to, and into the lives that those lives are connected to. If you are gaining a sense that we are all connected in some fashion or another, your premonition would be spot-on. Energy fills the space between us. It is as common to our survival, as is the oxygen which passes into our lungs.

So here is the little-thing that happens in our story… The letter finds it’s way to the Director of Operations for Men’s Basketball, Adam Fisher. Mr. Fisher advises Coach Larranaga of the letter. Coach Larranaga, then asks Fisher to find Mr. Palma, and get him on the phone.

Larranaga is a busy man! His basketball team faces Duke University in just a few short days. There are BIG details to set in place, strategies to improve upon, young athlete minds to crawl into; planting seeds of performance, time is limited and the end result is critical to the ongoing nature of the organization… does any of this sound remotely familiar?

But, a single phone call is made. The Coach reaches out to the former freshman basketball player, who walked the campus of the University of Miami over 65 years ago. During the phone conversation the Coach dedicates the Saturday, Miami vs. Duke basketball game to honor Jim Palma. As the sports story goes, Miami beat Duke on that Saturday, 90-74. As the human story goes, the next morning, Jim Palma’s energy of life was released from his body.

That energy now lives in each of you who have amused me by reading this far. Please, take that energy and recognize that little things can be huge things at the right moment. Each and every life is filled with the commonality of connected energy… each life has Immeasurable Value and Irreplaceable Purpose.

Thank-You for allowing me to be an energy source in the fabric of your life!

Now, there is just one thing we need to cover before we head back out onto the OneGR8Life trail; we need to have a frank discussion surrounding the desire to gain the maximum return on a minimum investment…

Hold the Elevator... Please.

Do you find yourself looking for a shortcut to reach the top of the ladder? Are you thinking that you can find the elevator... if you just keep looking?

You're not alone... near 95% of us suffer from this elevator mentality. It doesn't matter if you are trying to shed a few pounds, start a business, parent your children or reconstruct a relationship. We keep looking for the elevator in hopes that our pursuit of life ambitions will become easier. You need to put this habit in check! You must come to the realization that in your search to find an easier way, you are really making things more difficult. The problem is, your elevator mentality is crushing your confidence and paralyzing the actions that you must take to truly Obtain your Highest Human Potential. Let’s both agree - You deserve better than this!! As you travel forward, you must remember... On the path to Obtaining your Desire of Purpose, there are No Elevators - You must take the stairs!

So let's face our reality...

Obtainment of Highest Human Potential is not ordinary! What you are attempting to do isn't easy. What you are attempting to do rarely, if ever, comes overnight.   I realize that initially this may Not appear to be a rosy picture. But trust me, it IS a rosy picture. I want you to think about this: realize that 90-95% of your colleagues will not face this reality. They will continue looking for the elevator. They will keep looking for a 'break' or a chance at 'luck'. That's right, most of your colleagues will keep on looking for the elevator, hoping to capture lightning in a bottle.

You on the other hand, now possess the knowledge that Obtainment, the development and delivery of your Desire of Purpose, is not easy, that Obtainment rarely comes overnight, and that Obtainment is not ordinary. This powerful knowledge leads you away from the crowd that is looking for the elevator. Once you make this move, you have begun to differentiate yourself from the ordinary. You now understand that gaining Obtainment requires us to do the things that are not easy, to do the things that most people will not ordinarily do.

I Will Obtain it…

Today is a BIG day along the path to the progressive Obtainment of your Highest Potential. Today you came to realize that Obtainment comes from taking the little steps. Today, you decided to take the first step; to stop looking for the elevator. Today you re-introduce yourself to words like - self-discipline, self-control, persistence, determination, perspiration, and focus. Today you sat up-right and said, “Hey, the Obtainment of My Highest Potential is my Responsibility, it is my Divine Duty - I Will Uncover it, I Will Discover it, and I Will Obtain it. Today, you took a giant step Forward; today you reinforced to yourself that - In order to Obtain your Highest Human Potential, there are no elevators... today you said, "I AM willing to take the stairs!"

Come on now, up the stairs we go... this is not the time to slow-up.

I leave you with this closing thought...

We live by Faith or we do not live at all...

Either we venture or we vegetate.

Every triumph of the human spirit began with a single step taken in Faith. This Faith-filled, single step serves as the small handle to great matters. In the pursuit of your ambitious Desire to deliver your purpose, you must learn to hang on to your handle of Faith. Even if, for just one more moment.

---      ---      ---

Your take away thought...  

I Can, I Will!

Post this simple phrase in places where you will see it regularly through-out your day. Repeat it to yourself regularly... especially when you begin to feel the slightest bit of anxiety, or in a moment of self-doubt.

Next Up…

Desires and Riches and Receivership. Receivership???

#BAD13 / Human Rights -Turning the World Inside-Out...

First they ignore you,

then they laugh at you,

then they fight you,

then you win.
                               Mahatma Gandhi 

For many, In review of our 2013 year-to-date performance, it appears that globally, we should completely concede all activity as useless, towards the improvement of Human Rights. That's right! Fanatical ill-treatment of children, Maiming of the Innocent, Zealot Holocaust style annihilation of citizens... need I go on - we've all seen the pictures, we have all read the stories. That right - just, 'F'-it All!!  But, WAIT! We cannot afford to give-up on ourselves that easy... can we? In the pursuit of improved Human Rights, even the smallest gains, are still gains. Maybe what we need is a slight shift in our thinking.  Before you blow me off, hang on for 3 more minutes...

It is fair for you to be asking, Phil, -WHAT, are You talking about? I'm talking about our approach being reversed. Come on, tolerate me just a moment longer... Read just four more paragraphs as I explain the fallacy of our current universal cry for help.

Seriously! It is not that I don't recognize the need for Improved Human Rights; it is just that, We are screaming in the wrong direction. Today, I wish to propose to you an alternate opportunity of faster influence, with greater individual contribution, yielding a greater return for our efforts. Are you interested?  If you find no interest in this opportunity, then by all means flip to the next #BAD13 post.

This is the first time I have participated in this event, so, I pondered deeply about this post... I will need your help to make it work- Let's agree, that what we are attempting to do here is: Improve the Human Condition through the advocacy of improving Human Rights.

Once agreed, HOW do I then justify the statement - "We are screaming in the wrong direction."  It is simple; You see, it is individual behavioral choice which initiates the acts in defiance of Human Rights. Inhuman acts are reduced to individual behavioral choices; Just as you, individually chose to pick up a sign and parade the streets, screaming to draw the awareness of offense behavior. The problem is this... If my individual choice of character behavior, is such that I must resort to atrocities against human kind, do you really think I have any concern about you carrying a sign. The answer is, No! You carrying a sign has no effect on my poor choice of exercised character behavior. For this type of individual, for the abuser of Human Rights, it would be easier to issue an order and, stand you in public and empty a pistol into your head. And, we both can agree that there is nothing Human about this choice of exercised character behavior. Yet, it continues to happen all too often.

You see when we pick up the sign in support of Human Rights advocacy, it becomes our desire to screaming at the power of terror and inhuman acts. The problem is, though our sign carrying and screaming is useful for drawing awareness... it has little to no affect toward the work of changing behavior. That's right, when we scream in this direction, our universal cry is little more than an ill-fated attempt to convince the power that it should relinquish and adopt a greater Human Rights approach. The underlying message here is; we continue to shout at the power of poor behavioral choice, but the power is not listening. In all actuality, the power of inhuman behavioral choice is NOT Capable of hearing, understanding, or acting to a message of improved Human Rights.

Through the course of human history, regardless of country of origin, we can all recall past or present reins against humanity. This would lead me to believe that the approach employed to gain improved Human Rights, must be reversed. On this day of awareness of the need for improved Human Rights, our cry must not be directed Outward. But, rather the only effective cry must be directed Inward.

An Outward cry would indicate that we are looking to receive something. When in reality, Human Rights is not something we are capable of receiving. Improved Human Rights is something that You give. You see the key to gaining improved Human Rights is initiated through our individual behavioral choice to treat other Humans Right. 

Treating other Humans Right is an individual act of taught and emotionalized behavior. This year I suggest that you put down your sign and instead, pick-up a mirror. Stare deeply into the mirror, there lies the secret of Improved Human Rights. Only you are capable of controlling your thoughts and directing your actions towards the improved behavior of treating other Humans Right.

Once, I look into the mirror of self analysis and rationalize that improved Human Rights initiates with me treating other Humans Right; I should immediately, hand my children a mirror and begin to teach them that improved Human Rights is sustained by them learning to treat other Humans Right. We must be relentless in teaching our children this lesson. In this way, we can gain faster influence, with greater individual contribution, yielding a greater long term return on our efforts.

"The Courage of our Behavioral Actions, Determines our Fate."

Human Rights, through Humans Right. -Patience, Tolerance, Compassion, Empathy - these are not behavioral choices of the weak... for the weak are incapable of granting these. Rather, these are strong courageous behavioral acts in support of humanity. 

Thank-You for your time!
