New Rich | Got What it Takes?

Hello all, this Blog update is an edited version of a transcript I received from a friend of mine in the Real-Estate wholesaling biz. As the stock and real estate markets are tanking, he’s finding opportunity and creating a fortune. What you read below should make you think about how you go about your day.

It is often said that the most difficult 6 inches on the golf course or in life is the space between your ears!

What does that mean? Well… many times in life we are the ones who present the largest obstacle to our own success.

Oscar Wilde said “Everything popular is wrong.”

The way that you think dictates how much money you make, what sort of lifestyle you have and what sort of relationships you have; it dictates your life.

So it makes sense to monitor and modify how you think and line it up with something that works. If you aren’t living the life you’ve always wanted or creating the results you’ve dreamed of… who’s to blame?

The answer is: You. If you can’t accept that right here and right now, then there is no point in you reading any further. If you realize that “I am my biggest enemy, and the source for everything created in my life… welcome to your future.” As GI Joe would say, “Know is half the battle.”

A book you need to read is The Four Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss.
You need to get that book and you need to read it twice. In Andrew Carnegies, How to Win Friends and Influence People, he encourages readers to read each chapter twice before moving on. Read a chapter once to get a bird’s eye view of the topic and a second time to learn and reflect on learning and application.

Ferriss talks about the New Rich. Various definitions include.

 Living and working, free of restrictions of time and location, creating a lifestyle where you can pretty much live anywhere, work as it fits your schedule and still make a living.
 Those who abandon the deferred life plan – meaning, I’ll start having a good life sometime later when I retire – and create luxury and lifestyle in the present, using the currency of the new rich; time and mobility.
 A whole different breed. They define wealth as an abundance of experience and excitement. They have the freedom to do whatever they want and enough resources available to do, go and see the world while they’re young enough to enjoy it.

Here’s a quote right out of the book; “The new mantra is this – work wherever and whenever you want, but get your work done.”

The new rich are a phenomenon. There are more millionaires being created today than ever. Wealth is being distributed, the economy is changing. The money is coming out of the hands of the big corporations and into our hands. Are you going to get yours? Why do men like Warren Buffet, Robert Kiyosaki, and Donald Trump all have sizable interests in network marketing companies? Are these guys’ idiots? Do they strike you as gentlemen who care what their neighbor Joe says about them. Or are they savvy entrepreneurial pioneers who know when and how to make money.

Many of you have read my postings about Qivana. I am consumed with a belief that this is my path forward. This company is positioned in an expanding industry—even as the rest of the economy contracts. It was founded by legends in both the health and wellness industry and the network marketing industry. Our leadership team has a system I place that will guarantee your success, if you are coachable and willing to follow the steps. Is it simple? Absolutely! Is it easy… well that’s up to you and how hard you want to make it. If you want to stand in your own way of success one more time, you certainly can do that as well.

There’s a saying in the real estate investing business; don’t step over the dollars to get to the dimes.

“In other words, focus on the things that will make you the most money and ignore the small fry. That saying applies to most methods of investing let’s take the issue of gas prices. I’m going to take the kid gloves off and be very blunt with you here.”

“If you’re moaning along with the news media about how the price of gas has gone up another .05¢ you’re an idiot. Why? Because you’re focusing on poverty thinking, you’re trying to save a few pennies here and there, when you should be thinking about making many thousands of dollars”

“The new rich, they speak and they think much differently and they sound absolutely nothing like regular people. They stick out like a sore thumb in this world of mediocrity and negativity. They have different concerns. They have different motives. They have different priorities, they have different mannerisms, but most importantly, you can probably guess it, they have different attitudes. What it all boils down to is that my new rich friends compared to regular people – who are beautiful people too, I’m not saying anyone is better than another person, but they think differently. They get different results.”

“It follows logically that to get one you have to get the other. If you want the new rich lifestyle, you have to begin thinking like the new rich. Here’s a little glimpse. I’m not a professional teacher and speaker, so I don’t really know the best way to lay all of this out. I have a list here of some things.”

Avoid doing any of these things like the plague, here’s the list. Write these down so you don’t do them.
 Clipping coupons
 Returning items to a store
 Writing letters of complaint
 Watching the news
 Sitting in rush hour traffic
You will not catch me dead in rush hour traffic. If there’s something
that requires me to be in rush hour traffic, I simply will not go; I won’t
do it.
 Caring about gas prices
 Wanting the government to help them in any way, shape or form
 Having jobs
 Wearing suits
 Caring about the stock market
 Having 401k’s
 Suing people
 Budgeting

You don’t need to budget, when you live in abundance.

– “Observe the actions of the masses and do the opposite.”

Here is an email from Mark Jackson who owns Investor Comps Online

“What you passionately and purposefully seek to have, you will have. What you passionately and successfully seek to avoid you will also have. When you intently focus your energy upon anything, that thing grows more real and influential in your life. That holds true whether it’s something you strongly desire or something you strongly detest. If you put your effort into fighting against something, you end up giving more strength and consequence to whatever you are fighting against. Instead, find a desirable alternative and put your energy into working toward that alternative. What you hold most firmly and consistently in your mind you create and become.”

“There’s a bible verse in Proverbs, you probably already know it; as a man thinks, so he is. Keep your thoughts focused on moving toward the desirable, enjoyable and most fulfilling things.”

“The most effective way to move away from what you don’t want is to actively move toward what you want rather than defining your life by what you oppose, challenge yourself to develop positive goals that you can enthusiastically embrace and follow.”

“Your life naturally, persistently flows in the direction where your attention is focused, so choose to focus on the best you can imagine. I remember a long time ago I was past due on my mortgage and I had a stack of bills. I was trying to make it in real estate.”

When you wake up every day, you need to be saying to yourself – do you know what today is about? Today is about creating what ever it is that is most important to you—Relationship, Love, Money, Health, Fitness, Spirituality… what ever you have a burring desire to create. Focus on moving toward what you want, and the rest will take care of itself.

“Remember, the currency of the new rich is time. There is so much going on now days, life is extremely complex. If you let all these little things get your attention – returning the Blockbuster movies, your bills – you won’t be able to do it you’re going to lose your mind. On average, an American citizen has 27 bills. Life is getting very complex you have to learn how to focus. Not only can I make more money doing something else with that time, but it is also hard for me to put a price on the stress it causes me to go through the whole return process in the first place.”

“I have a very strict rule in my world and if you have no rules in your world, you need to realize that you don’t have a world. You live in someone else’s world. Your reality is non-existent. Any healthy person should have rules that they will or will not accept for their life, values and beliefs.”

“Mine is no undue stress. Stress is the enemy. If I don’t enjoy something, I either don’t do it or I outsource it. Joy is the key to your destiny, your purpose. We all need to be trying to find out our purpose in life. You’re here for a reason. God put you here for a reason. Don’t miss it. The key to finding it is to follow your joy. Pay attention to your joy and passion. Focus on your joy. Everything else is simply here to kill you.“

“Fortune favors the bold”

“The new rich are the boldest of the bold. Read The Four Hour Work
Week again to help it really sink in it’s really important; otherwise, trust me, I would not be wasting my time, which is my currency, saying it if it weren’t true.”

Probiotic Miracle

The Probiotic Miracle*

Beneficial Bacteria: An Army of Billions

When you are healthy, over 100 trillion microorganisms, from some 400 different species, flourish in your intestinal tract, aiding in digestion, absorption, and the production of significant amounts of B vitamins and enzymes. But more importantly, they crowd out all harmful bacteria -- allowing them no place to gain a foothold.

Unfortunately, the levels of beneficial bacteria decline dramatically as the human body ages.

Some of the reasons for this decline include:
Over time, the colonies of friendly bacteria just naturally age and lose their vitality.
Disruptions and changes in the acid/alkaline balance of the bowels can play a major role in reducing the growth of beneficial bacteria. In addition, these changes tend to favor the growth of harmful viral and fungal organisms as well as putrefactive, disease-causing bacteria.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) like Advil, Motrin, Midol, etc. are destructive to intestinal flora.

Chlorine in the drinking water not only serves to kill bacteria in the water; it is equally devastating to the colonies of beneficial bacteria living in the intestines.
Radiation and chemotherapy are devastating to your inner bacterial environment.
Virtually all meat and chicken and dairy that you eat (other than organic) is loaded with antibiotics, which destroy ALL of the beneficial bacteria in your gastrointestinal tract.
A diet high in meats and fats, because they take so long to break down in the human body, promotes the growth of the harmful, putrefying bacteria.
Constipation, of course, allows harmful bacteria to hang around longer, which allows them to proliferate.
Cigarettes, alcohol, and stress are also major culprits -- as are some antibiotic herbs, such as goldenseal (if taken in sufficient quantity).

And if you've ever been subjected to a round of "medicinal" antibiotics, you can kiss your beneficial bacteria good-bye. The problem is that antibiotics indiscriminately destroy both bad and GOOD bacteria -- allowing virulent, mutant strains of harmful microorganisms to emerge and run rampant inside the body. Antibiotics (both medicinal and in our food supply) are the #1 culprit in the overgrowth of HARMFUL pathogens in the gastrointestinal tract (a condition called dysbiosis) that may be at the root of many autoimmune disorders and certain cancers.
The Bottom Line to Strengthen Your Immune System

A properly functioning intestinal tract is one of your body's first lines of defense against invaders and a healthy immune system. In a healthy colon there are, on average, anywhere from 100 billion to 1,000 billion beneficial bacteria per milliliter (about 1/5 of a teaspoon) that literally consume harmful bacteria and other invaders. In the typical American, because of poor diet and neglect of the colon, the beneficial bacteria count may be as low as 4 or 5 per milliliter. Just compare 1,000 billion to 4, and you'll have an understanding of the scope of the problem. Many researchers now believe that declining levels of friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract may actually mark the onset of chronic degenerative disease and a suppressed immune system. Our goal is to strengthen the immune system.

The Benefits of a Healthy Intestinal Tract
The benefits of a probiotically optimized intestinal tract include:
-Lowered cholesterol
-Inhibition of cancer
-Protection against food poisoning
-Protection against stomach ulcers
-Protection against lactose intolerance and casein intolerance
-Enhanced immunity
-Protection against many harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi
-Protection against candida overgrowth and vaginal yeast infections
-Prevention and correction of constipation and diarrhea, ileitis and colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and a whole range of other digestive tract dysfunctions
-Improvement in the health and appearance of the skin
-Better nutrition from improved absorption and the internal generation of B vitamins.
-Protection against vaginosis and yeast infections

A Key to Good Health: Probiotics
There can be no true health or recovery from disease unless you have colonies of over 100 trillion beneficial microorganisms flourishing in your intestinal tract, from your mouth to your anus, aiding in digestion, absorption, the production of significant amounts of vitamins and enzymes, and working to crowd out all harmful bacteria -- allowing them no place to gain a foothold. SUPPLEMENTATION WITH A GOOD PROBIOTIC IS MANDATORY TO RAISE YOUR BASELINE OF HEALTH AND STRENGTHEN YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM.
Probiotic Benefits: The Best Formulas

A good probiotic formula is absolutely essential for long-term intestinal health, and long-term parasite control. When choosing a probiotic, look for the following characteristics:
Not all strains of beneficial bacteria are created equal. For each type of bacteria, there are recognized super strains. Choose a formula that uses only recognized super strains of beneficial bacteria -- clearly identified as such on the label or in the company literature.
Make sure the probiotic formula you choose includes the all-important supernatant -- the medium the culture was grown in. The supernatant, contains a multitude of beneficial byproducts of the growth process, including: vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants, and immune boosters.

There are many beneficial bacteria that can be contained in a good probiotic, but two are preeminent. To maximize the probiotic benefits, look for a formula based on these two:
L. acidophilus resides primarily in the small intestine and produces a number of powerful antimicrobial compounds in the gut (including: acidolin, acidolphilin, lactocidin, and bacteriocin). These compounds can inhibit the growth and toxin producing capabilities of some 23 known disease-causing pathogens (including: campylobacter, listeria, and staphylococci), as well as reduce tumor growth and effectively neutralize or inhibit carcinogenic substances.It's also important to note that L. acidophilus is the primary beneficia bacteria in the vaginal tract. When the presence of the acidophilus is compromised, this allows the bad guys such as Gardnerella vaginalis or E. coli or Chlamydia to take over.

Many researchers believe that declining levels of bifidobacteria in the large intestine actually mark the eventual onset of chronic degenerative disease. Bifidobacteria benefit the body in a number of ways. They consume old fecal matter, have the ability to remove cancer-forming elements (or the enzymes which lead to their formation), and protect against the formation of liver, colon, and mammary gland tumors.

Clear Intention: A crucial element of Results

In continuing our dialogue on creating Results; clear intention is critical.

In previous articles we have reviewed, desiring results, and creating a Vision. Remember this is a step by step process, and there are no short cuts… therefore, if you haven’t created a Vision, you get to do that before moving on. (Go back and read my article: I want RESULTS, How do I get them?)

Throughout my day I have numerous goals, events, activates, things I want/will accomplish. Even the most mundane activity gets to be completed in a manner that is rooted in my vision. Why is this important? First, it is an opportunity for me to remain: true to me. This grounds me in integrity and creates clarity in my actions. Second, just like your mom may have told you: “if it is worth doing it is worth doing right.” Be impeccable and do your best—every time, with everything.

Options for getting things done:
I can just dive in and see what happens. OR I can pause, connect with my vision, get clear, and choose to take committed action, which will yield the result I am committed to creating.

This article is focused on getting clear. What does that mean? Why does it matter? Clarity means, you can see the result, the end as having already happened.
- If you are getting clear about running a marathon, in your mind you have crossed the finish line at 26.2 miles, set a personal record, and feel stronger and empowered by your accomplishment.
- If you are getting clear about getting a raise, there is no doubt in your mind that you are worthy, bring great value to the company, your boss respects you and is just waiting for you to ask, and in fact is prepared to call human resources and inform them to raise your salary 15% a year.
- If you are getting clear about connecting with your family, or mending a relationship, you aren’t focused on the lack or shortcomings of the past. But are focused on what a healthy, open, honest, healed relationship feels like and what that will mean to your family, friends and self.

See clarity matters because it is your moment to communicate to the Universe, exactly what it is you want, and what you are committed to creating. Clarity is the blueprint that will turn into a tangible accomplishment, as soon as you become so committed nothing will stand in your way.

Without clarity, everything is left to chance. Sometimes you’ll win and sometimes you’ll have a result that creates massive learning opportunities. So for your sanity and growth, get clear. Practice it everyday… even with the little things. Be true to yourself, honor your integrity, walk the walk by being clear with your intentions.

Next time we’ll get down to work with committed actions. Putting your vision and clarity in action and creating the life and results you deserve.

Thanks for all the feedback and support. Keep the emails coming to BeQivana@gmail.com.

To your happiness, health and wealth!
Thanks for reading.

Do You Have What it Takes?

When I visualize myself as wealthy and successful, Ialways picture a calm smile on my face as I soak in the joy of my accomplishments.Because really, who wants to be wealthy, successful and completely stressed out?

There are many paths to success, but I believe - and I'm sure you'll agree - that we should pursue a path that gives us not only a healthy bank account, but a sound mind, body and soul.

Easier said than done? Not anymore!

The Internet is overflowing with thousands of guides to prosperity and success, but I've found something a little different.

The opportunity I am speaking of is www.BeQivana.com

Improve your health and your wealth. Yep it’s catchy, but it is also true. It is however, up to you to take the first step. This blog has 100’s of visitors a day, but only a few motivated, self empowered individuals, dare take this opportunity on. Do you have what it takes? If you think so, send me an email at BeQivana@gmail.com. We are looking for motivated business partners… you might be next.

To your health!

Friends, Team, Business Owners!

If you are receiving this letter, you are one of my personally enrolled IBOs (independent business owners). The first thing I want to say is welcome! I’m truly excited about the opportunity to work with you! I assure you, I am committed to your success. The great thing about our business model is: “Your success is my success!” Therefore, I want to set up a frame work for our relationship.

I have only ONE rule, and that is this: That I remain consistent and available to provide you with everything you need to do the work that will create your success. Notice that my rule applies only to me! I am here for you night and day to help you perform the activities necessary to hit your business goals inside of this opportunity. There are only FOUR activities necessary to accomplish success.

1. Invite
2. Present
3. Enroll
4. Duplicate

That’s it! There really is NOTHING else to this business. Of course, there are important things like product knowledge and understanding compensation. You will primarily learn those things just by following the success system we have created and using the products.
This is a business, make no mistake, and if you treat it like a business, it will pay you like a business. My role is to get behind you and support you. You can count on my support to match or exceed your own effort. Consistent effort and action will yield the results you desire. Stay in the game and you will succeed.

Keys to Success:
1. Attend scheduled meetings and calls. 712-432-7500 code 12834#
Monday: Team Training Calls 9pm EST / 6pm PST (1hr)
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday: Business Opportunity Calls 9pm EST / 6pm PST (30min)
Saturday: Millionaire Mindset Training Calls Noon EST / 9am PST (1hr)
Attend as many calls as you can, and invite a guest! Sharing is how we grow.

2. Invite guests!
The life blood of your business is new customers and IBOs. You will experience few challenges in this business that won’t be solved by new and excited IBOs and customers. We will provide plenty of training as to how to invite and share, but really, it’s the simplest part. I can teach this to you in 15 minutes! It’s also easily course corrected if you find your inviting is not producing the desired result. Don’t let the fact that you are new stop you! I promise I can help you with this crucial piece if you let me. Put plainly, if you’re not inviting on a daily basis, you are putting severe limits on the possibility that your business will grow. Types of inviting include: Business Opportunity calls (Tues, Thurs and Fri), “do you have a minute to take a look at my website?”
3-way calls with me, Richard Thompson, John Lombardo, Mike Zappia, Dick Ryan, etc.

3. Be committed to the people you bring to the business.
Introduce your people to the systems we put in place. These systems not only give your new IBOs guidance and structure, but will do most of the work for you. Let your people know they are in business for themselves but not by themselves. If they feel supported, they will stick around, and your business will grow.

4. Be coachable and consistent.
You WILL be successful to some degree if you listen to what we teach and apply it consistently (over and over and over again! Take simple formula, repeat until rich!)
These are the steps that will lead to success. Commitment to yourself and your business will create immeasurable support from me and our powerful organization. You are in complete control and CANNOT fail, if you follow the steps. Keep it simple, INVITE, PRESENT, ENROLL, DUPLICATE and let the system do the work!

Outline for Success:
Answer these simple questions, make your list, and keep it handy to motivate and inspire your ACTION.

1. Why are you involved in this business?
2. What will time and financial freedom provide?
3. My Goals are:
4. Visit www.QTeamUniversity.com for powerful training.

As a professional inviter fill in who comes to mind:
Who do you love the most?
Who do you respect the most?
Who do you owe the most to?
Who owes you the most?

Each of these categories has a simple straight forward approach for inviting. Give me a call and we’ll talk about how to share this with those people in your life that you care about and want to see succeed.

Thank you for believing in me, Qivana, and yourself!

More to come

Friends we will continue our discussion on Results next week with an installment on Clear Intentions. Please feel free to contact me in the mean time if you need any short term coaching.

I want RESULTS, How do I get them?

Welcome back to our discussion on how to achieve results. Every person is here on their own journey; so results are as unique as fingerprints, snowflakes and yes… even you. However, Madison Avenue and Hollywood constantly bombard us with what it means to be successful or have ‘positive’ results in our lives.

Results are up to each individual to define for themselves. In my last installment I asked the questions: “Why are you here? What do you stand for? What is important to you? In your last breath what will you look back upon with pride?” in answering these questions we will find the foundation of our VISION.

Vision is the starting point, and arguably the most important step in achieving results. There are 4 distinct steps to results:
- Vision
- Clear Intention
- Committed Action
- Results
You can truly have anything in the world if you will follow these four simple steps. Notice I did not say easy. We are all human and can be distracted by the world around us, or more often by the conversations, and limitations we place upon ourselves.

Over the next few weeks we will explore each of these steps. Depending upon your feedback we may go deeper into a topic for a deeper cut. But now, let’s begin with Vision.

Your vision statement is your self-defined roadmap, along your self-defined journey through life. If you don’t define your vision, your path, the world, your friends, family, and even pets will do it for you.

There are different ways to discover your vision; journaling, talking to a spouse or family member, praying, mediation, brainstorming, the list is endless. But remember to craft your vision for yourself and not to please someone else. In the end a vision should be:
- Concise
- Empowering
- Convey what’s important to you

For example my vision is: “I am a stand for unity and growth, by celebrating love, humility and accountability.” You may be thinking WOW, or Great, while others may be thinking what does that mean.
Following the above guidelines; it is concise, short enough I can memorize it and not stumble over it should someone ask me… “hey Gabe, what’s your Vision?” It is empowering. This motivates me to create the world of my dreams. A world that is united and people are challenged to rise above their circumstances by my love, my humility, and my responsibility to hold everyone accountable for the current situation in life.

A vision is the core foundation from which life, results and happiness can spring. It is the blueprint for your dreams.

How do you use your vision? Just as an architect uses a blueprint, you get to look at the actions you take in a day and determine if they are supporting your vision. Only you can define your vision and choose to implement it in your daily life.

I ask you. Do you want results in you life? Yes? Then work on your vision, take time, dig-in and find out what really matters to you. If you need any help send me an email at beqivana at gmail dot com. Next time we will take your vision and learn how to have clear intention towards achieving results.

Thanks for Reading!

Do you want RESULTS in your life?

Are you living the life you have always dreamed of? If you think back 3, 5 or 10 years… are you now living the life you imagined? If so, congratulations and I will ask you a powerful questions: What’s Next? If you are not living the life you always dreamed of: Why Not? What’s Stopping You?

Take a moment, turn off the T.V., take a couple of deep breaths and pause. Connect with this very moment you are living. What are you sensing? Smells, faint sounds, feelings… what do you notice.

Close your eyes, take 10 long deep breaths, and then come back to this article.

Great! Welcome back to yourself. Many times we get so busy, so wrapped up in what’s going on around us, focused on yesterday or tomorrow, instead of noticing what is actually going on in our bodies and our lives in this moment.

Life is perfect in this moment. Nothing can ever be wrong in the present moment. In fact judging, using the term right or wrong only places judgment and stress into our lives.

You might be asking, sure I’m not living the life I have always wanted, but what can I do about it? The first and most critical steps to living and achieving is defining your VISION.

Why are you here? What do you stand for? What is important to you? In your last breath what will you look back upon with pride?

In order to answer any of the aforementioned questions you must have a Vision. This is the first in a series of articles designed to lay out the step by step process to creating the life you have always wanted.

Are you ready for the journey? GREAT, let’s get started. Take the questions asked above and anything else that comes to mind and write. Pen to paper; write what you think of as you go over those questions. No right or wrong, do not judge the process, just spend 20 minutes in quite and write what ever comes to mind.

My next installment will be on how to craft a Vision, what it means, why it is important, and how to use it as a powerful tool in creating the world you have always dreamed of. Don’t you deserve it? Of course you do! So get to writing, send me and email (beqivana@gmail.com) if you have any questions. Good luck and enjoy the journey!

Thanks for reading.

Power of Qivana

Friends

I hope you enjoyed my last post with the poem "Invitation" if you didn't get a chance to read it, take a moment and scroll down, you'll be glad you did.

For my Qivana faithful, the time is upon us. Our product goes live at the end of the month, and I was lucky enough to get access to some samples. Let me know if you would like a few, I can set that up.

But most importantly, it took it this morning and feel AMAZING! Clear, energized, focused, balanced, ready for my day... and all on 5:40 minutes of sleep. Best thing it isn't a jittery, too much coffee feeling.

I am focused and peaceful. That is except for the outrageous excitement I have for what is happening. This is a powerful health product, with an amazing social networking team behind it. Take a look for yourself at www.myqivana.com/gabegriess and go to www.qprelaunch.com and listened to our head doctor, Dr Laux describe what we have our hands on!

Oriah Mountain Dreamer

Friends this is a powerful poem that I first heard during a leadership work shop I was facilitating. One of my fellow coaches—a powerful woman and dear friend—shared this with our team before we began working with our students. If you will pause and connect with yourself before you begin reading you will find it speak straight to your soul. Take a moment, block out the world, and enjoy this powerful, touching poem.

Thanks for Reading!

The Invitation

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon...
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals, or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving, to hide it, or fade it, or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness, and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure yours, and mine, and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes.”

It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments. – Oriah

Happy Easter

I hope today you choose to find empowerment, peace, and joy. Take inventory of your physical and spiritual life and be thankful. Surely there may be room for improvement, but more assuredly there are those around you in greater need. Be grateful, appreciative, and confident that today marks the beginning of something grand in you family. If anytime you are in doubt of what to do… focus out, into the world and offer a helping hand or a random act of kindness. Then in that selfless generosity, watch as your own issues melt away into insignificance.

Happy Easter

Esse Quam Videri

To be rater than seem to be.

As I watch the world pass outside, it seems to me that many people are stressed and worried about things they cannot control... the markets, what others think, or what’s going to happen tomorrow. I told a friend of mine yesterday that the past is gone, the future is uncertain and all we ever have is now.

Eckhart Tolle, in the Power of Now, explains that all things happen in the present. Life becomes perfect and simple when lived in the present.

What can you do, today to simplify your life? Become more grounded… present? Shift, change, and choose to take control. This is your life and your only chance to live it. I invite you to find a way to shift and find peace in hear and now. Thanks for reading and Happy Easter.

Take control of your health and financial future!

Friends, Family and Followers

With the current shake up of the global economy, there is no better time to take control of your own financial situation. There are many actions you may take, but the most important one is to take ACTION… NOW.

You might chose, to reduce spending, work extra hours, find a second job, start a home based business or have a garage sale. Any and all of these can and will help, if you do them.

I have found myself at the right place at the right time… and you can too!

Even when economies slow down, people continue to spend on health and wellness. The convergence of people needing additional income, while being unwilling to trim spending on health and wellness, places QIVANA at the nexus of growth.

Qivana is a new social marketing company with a management team of experts with over 75 years of experience. Products begin shipping later this month (mid April 09). Right now is an amazing opportunity to become and Independent Business Owner, or use our revolutionary product for overall health and wellness.

This is a fantastic opportunity to be in business for yourself… but not by yourself.

I’ve included some websites and a conference call number below. Take a moment, do your own due-diligence, learn what a powerful company, team and product we have and then choose to take ACTION, and join us for a profitable, healthful and fun journey.

Thanks for reading!
