Shawn Achor: The happy secret to better work #TED : http://on.ted.com/CJaB
Everything about this is wrong…everything.
An ending and a beginning
An ending and a beginning are
two different points that begin in the same place.
There is no one without the other.
There are no divisions.
These are ALL my brothers.
If I can’t take care of the least of them
then I am afraid I am not complete and
If I am short of fulfilling my dreams
then am I the least for it?
…and if I look back
Will I think, “should have I cheated for it?”.
Maybe I should’ve…
Maybe I should have stolen from my own mother’s purse.
Will that have set me forward some?
Had I taken advantage of every living soul in every small town,
Then could have I worn the majestic crown?
…and if I make a monster out of me by becoming a cold-blooded mercenary,
can the coffers of a bank fulfill my hearts deepest needs?
There is no money in the world that is as precious as my soul and my time.
So while I am here, I will work to make it clear for everyone dear because
without them there is no me and without me I could not see
the endless and all-expansive possibilities.
Maybe I should have stolen from my grandmother’s purse.
Her wallet was always a skinny one but she really made it go a long way.
If I overtly tax every living soul in every small town,
Then just maybe I can commence to pay off my national debt.
…and if through repetition I turn myself into a beast
Then can you ever forgive me?
Will you ever forgive me America?
Sincerely,
The ones you choose to trust.
You never know what life is going to bring you.
You never know what turns your life is going to take.
You tend to think your life should be different somehow but
while your mapping out your future and plotting out your story…
Your life reveals itself to you.
What are the things you need to change about yourself to experience fulfillment daily?
What action need be taken to accelerate your growth and ensure your place in the world?
Oddly enough, that question can sometimes be answered with “NOTHING”.
In some cases, it is really about un-learning. Lately, I find that I am questioning a lot of my beliefs. Not only beliefs about religion and metaphysics, but I have been questioning government, the pharmaceutical industry, the food industry, the education system, the media, etc. etc. I don’t know much but if it is one thing I know, I don’t want my thoughts to be made for me. For example, I am suppose to read or hear or see a piece of information and always take it as truth…I don’t think many of these agencies have your or my best interest in mind. It seems the profiteers are the driving force here.
The deeper I get into “truth”, the more I see that is withheld from the public. I’d like to think that it is a coincidental misunderstanding but too much evidence is on the table. It is right in front of our nose but we have to dive a little bit deeper to see it clearly.
Why not just forget about research and finding out what “my truth” even means?
Why not just close my eyes and let the world outside of me determine my thoughts, my likes, and dislikes, my pain and pleasure, etc?
Why not just turn on the television and forget about my problems by flipping through thousands of useless channels provided by my cable provider?
Why not just follow the herd and be like everyone else?
They seem happy, don’t they?
Look at your family and friends…are they happy? Or are they tired?
Are they fulfilled on a deep level or are they running around busy trying to fulfill that hole in their heart?
I look to the sky and ask myself, “why?.”
I look into my heart and sigh.
We have had the same problems ever since we evolved into a bipedal homonid. We have always fought over power and yet the greatest power you can ever know is directly linked to your heart.
Why look for it outside yourself when you have an infinite abundance within?
Waste not another day…breathe in the heavens found in your heart.

I use to think that in order to get what I wanted I had to really work hard at something and while I still believe that to be partly true, I now believe in working Smarter not harder. I subscribe to the idea that there is a part of the human that must believe that they deserve what it is they want because if they do not have that conviction, they will not have the follow through to complete their objectives to their entirety.
It’s common knowledge that Life isn’t about money but that money creates opportunities and opportunities are what life are all about. To have the choice to visit the many places of this world, to live comfortably and provide for our families and ourselves, to follow our truest desires and watch them unfold, these are remarkable things.
We’ve all wrestled with money in the past and with ideas of how much we should have and by what age we should have it. I, for a long time, let the almighty dollar determine the course of my days and my temperaments. Yet, I know now that times are changing and this old model of thinking is dissipating as the days and hours go by. I know now that to live in the moment is what matters and to commit your heart to now is the highest aim there is.
The laws of compensation have always been here and are now coming to the forefront of our minds. They will be determined by what you need rather than what you want. They will hold people accountable for what wealth they have amassed and hold to it that this wealth is used to improve the quality of life for all. The law of compensation is about being in harmony with your nature and making decisions from this secure place and, if in fact, you do want more (not because the world tells you to want more) then you increase your value to receive more. You find ways to go the extra mile, to do more than what you get paid for, so your esteem goes up and your value goes up. It’s less about fear and more about trust.
So, I trust this moment and rather than fear a future that is not already here, I choose to sit in silence and gratitude with the richness of this moment.

This song is called “Hideaway”….it’s a song about conflict. It’s a love triangle between you, the one you want, and the one you need. They are oftimes not the same thing. I read once that “Human Nature is something we are here to rise above”….I sure hope this is true because, at times, I feel my lower impulses are working in collusion to destroy me. And now I bring you…
Say You Will by Eddie Grey. “Im demoing a lot of love songs right now. There is a dire need for love in this world and the space need be filled with the love in our hearts.”
