When you’re in solitary confinement and you’re six feet under without light, sound, or running water, there is no place to go but inside. And when you go inside, you discover that everything that exists in the Universe is also within you…Rubin “Hurricane” Carter
Are you looking for inspiration to come from an external source?
Here’s a special link with some “external inspiration” for you.
Spend all your time and energy focusing on what you want.
In a safe driving course in which I participated, I was taught to observe the horizon when wanting to avoid hitting a target. If I looked at the bumber bar of the car that I did not want to hit then I’d be certain to hit it. Looking beyond the target would allow for my peripheral vision to take care of the situation. Similarly when aiming for specific goals, look beyond your goal at an expanded vision and provide your sub-conscious some room to manouvre.
Have you ever wanted to call for a life-coach in those moments when you simply wanted an unbiased and empowered viewpoint to put something in perspective for yourself?

Probably you might have allowed someone else to do your thinking and run your life. You could have also concentrated more on your problems and difficulties and instead of challenging them, gave in and quit finding for solutions.
You may have lived a life without goals and dreams and let yourself go with the flow. You could even have waited and hoped that someone might come along and help you get out of the rut.
You may have focused on the negative and failed to find the positive in things. You are not even aware of what gives you pleasure and do not know how to turn your pain around.
You have allowed your autopilot to direct your thoughts, actions and dialogues. You don’t know how you got into your state of depression or anger but responded as you always have, to someone or something that triggered it.
You are an expert at flashing out pictures of past mistakes and hurts in your head but do not know how to tune in fond and pleasant memories. You keep hearing voices inside telling you what you should do and how you should behave but have not even pondered on whose voice or where it came from.
You are afraid to ask for what you want and refuse to learn from your experiences and from others. You stick around with the same people who drain your energy and make you feel miserable because of your fear of feeling alone and lost. You don’t make new friends because you are afraid of being rejected.
How and what would you change your experiences?

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 shrivelled 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
be realistic
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.

Recognize if your feelings are low energy or high energy.
Practise this regularly and practise shifting your energy. You do have a say in the matter. It only takes practise with living consciously, with being aware in each moment.

This web site has been designed with this goal in mind: to drastically improve your chances to live such a moment today.
Write your belief down everyday.
This is one of the most powerful things you can do in order to hammer a belief in yourself.
I’m reminded of an essay I read online that was written by Scott Adams, the creator of the famous Dilbert cartoon strip.
In it, he mentions how he continuously wrote daily, the belief that he would become rich in the stock market. He soon invested in Chrysler and Ask, two of the best performing stocks at that time and reaped a very nice profit.
He then wrote down the belief that he would hit the 94th percentile on the GMAT, even though he had scored at the 77th percentile when taking several practice tests.
He took the GMAT and the results came in. He hit the 94th percentile.
He became so convinced of the power of writing down his beliefs that he used it to write down that he would become a famous syndicated cartoonist. The rest is history.
I know it sounds a lot like affirmations, and it pretty much is. However, you might have had previous experiences with affirmations and not have had such good results from it.
You will soon see that there is much more to believing than just writing down affirmations.

The Choice Movie is another lovely and inspirational movie, offering a great way to think about what we can do with our lives.
I thought I’d add this following piece of text to go with it, for you:
Long ago, a brilliant psychologist proved that if you present a rat with 3 tunnels, only one of which has some cheese in it, the rat would explore all the avenues until he finds the cheese. And, after reinforcement, he will ignore all non-cheese tunnels, and go down only the one with the payoff. Then, if you take away the cheese, he will soon learn that it’s gone, and will begin to explore all tunnels again, looking for the reward. Human beings, in stark contrast, will go up a tunnel looking for whatever ‘cheese’ the situation is, never get any, but they proceed to go up that same tunnel for a lifetime. And what’s driving them is reasonableness, or rightness. That is, they get to say to themselves, quite logically: ‘I saw cheese go up that tunnel. It’s got to be up there. I’ll find it, goddam it, if it takes me a lifetime.’ So they get to spend a lifetime without cheese, but always being able to explain (to wives, friends, acquaintances—anyone who will listen) that they’re up a very reasonable tunnel. And they find people to agree that the cheese really belongs up that tunnel. (Those people are called really close friends!) If you’re running your life up a tunnel (or a series of them) with no ‘cheese’ for you; you’re beginning to get what I’m driving at: that running your life being right is pointless and I don’t mean that what you’re doing is wrong; I simply mean it doesn’t work, and that should be the main criterion…From EST: Playing The Game The New Way written by Carl Frederick in 1972
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call “failure” is not the falling down, but the staying down…Mary Pickford

Being happy is a choice you face every day.
Who can make you happy? You get to react or respond to life circumstances. Will you respond or react? Notice when you are literally choosing to be anything other than happy. Check out the true source of your feelings. Do you have another choice? Are you reacting to something external or are you personally being “response-able” for your thoughts and feelings in relationship to a situation?
As if there isn’t enough to be concerned about in terms of colors – here’s one more little deal. This is a chart of 216 “non-dithering” colors. In layman’s terms, these colors will look like the color you ask for on all browsers and all computer screen resolution settings.
Have you ever seen a color created by what appeared to be one solid color and then a few lighter colored dots across the top? It didn’t blend at all, but sort of created the color. Have you ever printed something in color, and instead of being a straight color, it appeared to be a series of different colored dots?
I guess if you were able to truly mix those colors together, you would get the color you are looking for. But they’re not mixed. That’s dithering.
