You may have heard the expression “Life is what’s happening while your making other plans.”
Well… My life is a good example of this expression. For many years now, I’ve been planning to do this thing or that thing, and in the mean time, I’ve actually been spending my time in a way that is not necessarily leading me down the path of my plans.
Now Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying it’s NOT good to have any plans. In fact, I’ve also heard the expression, “If you don’t have a plan, you’ll be a part of someone else’s plan.”
Now thinking about it though, both of the expressions above, although they may appear a little contradictory; One expression implying that having a plan is good, and the other, that plans are futile, they both get us thinking about what our live’s are REALLY About, and how we are spending our time.
That’s one question I’ve been asking myself for a long time, and this expression I’m creating right now represents that. I’m creating this now, because everyday while I’m making plans to do this or that, I feel I’ve been neglecting, at least to some degree, what is TRULY important.
For example there are a lot of things inside of me that keep nagging at me. It’s like the core of who I am is wanting to be expressed in some way.
You should do it now, because there is never going to be a perfect time to do it. There is always going to be some reason or excuse to prevent you from doing what you really want to do; From finally being the person you truly are.
Have you ever been in a situation where you had this idea of how you wanted to act, or thought of something you thought was important to say, but when it was time for you to speak out or take action, you just sat there and did nothing, or acted in a way contrary to what you had desired?
That’s part of why you should do IT now. You should decide to be true to who you are and live now, instead of making plans to start living some time in the future.
Certainly not for everyone, and it hasn’t been easy for me either, and that’s part of the reason I’m creating this article right now.
THIS is the Time to be who you truly are, and live the life of your dreams.
I’ve come to realize that practice is very important. The more I put myself in uncomfortable situations the easier it becomes to me.
So… Now I’m practicing the art of self expression. The art of freeing myself from the prison of my own mind. Shining the light into the darkness and unveiling what’s been hidden.
Is there a part of you that’s been hidden, that the world or the people around you need to see? Are you hiding your bright light because you are afraid of what might happen if people see it?
I can relate to you. Now I’m letting that light shine, and guess what? It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks of it. That’s kind of the point.
You need to let your light shine because it IS who you truly are, and that expression of yourself has further reaching implications than you or I can know in this moment.
So go ahead and do it now. Be the one you truly are while you have the chance. Do it, even though it’s scary.
I dreamed my wife no longer wanted to be with me, and I was in exile. I was lost in some land between lands, and I was very sad.
At one point in my dream, I was floating in the sky on something that resembled some kind of flotation device, and a giant crocodile was ravenously anticipating me falling to where it waited… Like a hungry wild dog.
The crocodile was Giant, and it’s mouth was watering as it ran back and forth awaiting my fall from the floaty.
While I was on the floaty and seriously concerned about falling, and being devoured in an instant by the Giant crocodile with a huge mouth and very big teeth, there was someone close by. My memory tells me it was a girl or a woman, and she was encouraging me NOT to fall.
I didn’t even know how I was floating and the floaty I was on was flimsy, and I knew if I fell the hungry crocodile would be there in an moment.
Thanks goodness I didn’t fall, and somehow I was in a place where there were other people. They were talking about the crocodile and a search was on to get it before it could hurt anyone.
In this dream I also realized I was damaged. I was wearing clothes that were tattered, and my skin had some serious problem; I think I was also missing some of my hair.
At some point in the dream, I saw my childhood friend George, and he seemed disappointed in me. He told me, in my condition there was no hope for me ever finding a woman that would want me.
Now this was all a dream, but when I awoke from it, I realized how scared I was in my dream and I started to wonder what would cause me to have such a sad scary dream; A dream where my wife was gone, I was sad, some monster was hoping to eat me, I was almost hopeless, and my friend was disappointed in me.
At least there was the woman in my dreams, maybe an angel, who didn’t want me to fall; And… I was finally back in a safe place.
So I thought about my life situation, and how I’m trying to do so many things, but my heart is not in all of them. I thought about how there are LOTS of changes going on and a lot of things about the not to distant future that are kind of scary and insecure for me right now.
I realized while I was thinking about these things that there is no time to wait to start expressing what is inside of me. I realized that I’ve waited a long time, for the right time, to be something I can’t even clearly identify, so I could finally be SOMEONE who had some KNOWABLE value.
Now I realize, I’m never going to become that some THING that I can’t fully identify, so I’ve decided to express what it is I am about now… And I just noticed how much I said I in this article.
So there it is. YOU Be it, Do it, Live it… NOW.

Today I am revealing one of my best kept secrets. The people closest to me already know about my struggle with weed, and now I’m coming out of the closet with this story.
Secrets can keep a person in their own Secret Prison, and today I am tearing down the walls and revealing who I truly am. I’m literally setting myself free through expression and you can do that too, if you want.
My intention is to live my true purpose and help you to do the same. This video represents a side of me that I’ve been afraid to reveal – But I’m no longer afraid. In fact, I am so happy to share this with you.
In revealing my struggle with Marijuana, I want to point out, I’m NOT against people using this plant, and I think there are a lot of good things that can be said about it. Although it’s the subject of a future article, I think Marijuana should be legal, as all plants should be legal.
I also think it’s important that people take responsibility for what they do, and knowing that Marijuana has intense effects is important.
I stated that there are a lot of good things that can be said about Marijuana and I also want to point out that not everything about it has been good for me, and that’s partly why I’m quitting weed.
The number one reason I’m quitting it, is because I think my life is better Without Marijuana. I also want to be an example for others who feel the need to let go of Marijuana Addiction.
I KNOW I don’t NEED marijuana, and my experience tells me it takes away from my consistancy and joy.
There has been some part of me that has wanted to believe that I might be better off, and even MORE Healthy from using marijuana. I know that is not true now. I know I’m better off in almost every regard without Cannabis.
In the last several years almost all of my experiences with Marijuana were from eating it. I know smoking anything is not good for anyone, and I moved away from that thinking that Marijuana REALLY might be ALL Good for a person, if it were ONLY eaten; I do think that’s a much better way of using marijuana if a person is going to do it, but…
Most of my recent years of Marijuana use have come in binges. I almost always feel good when I’m HIGH, but the morning after getting high I almost always feel like I’ve lost something, and like I don’t want to do it anymore. It feels like I lose Grace in my life after using Marijuana. It’s like my consistent good feeling has been taken from me and I’m spiritually isolated.
It may not be this way for everyone, but Marijuana seems to be a trickster. It makes my mind believe I’ve found the greatest thing in the world. Under it’s influence I have often felt like I’ve gained intelligence. Unfortunately, after coming down from the high, I have often felt less intelligent than I did before using it.
I feel Marijuana has been a trade off. It has made me believe in my own power instead of trusting in the Grace of God. What I have learned is the Grace of God is all I REALLY have. Every time I use marijuana I gain some insight, only to realize later that the insight cannot be implemented without the GRACE. It’s like getting a glimpse of something great and then feeling depleted of the energy I need to manifest the Greatness.
Sometimes the insights aren’t as great as they seemed under the influence of Marijuana anyway.
Marijuana does have beneficial substances like Cannabidiol and I’m sure these substances can be very helpful for people with certain conditions. It’s also true there are Marijuana strains that have no THC (the substance that makes you high), and have high amounts of Cannabidiol. That being said, eating this type of Marijuana might REALLY be ALL Good.
My intention is not to demonize Marijuana. I’m just not going to use it anymore.
I want to live my true purpose in life, and part of that purpose is transformation and inspiration. I intend to be a super hero under the influence of Grace. I don’t need marijuana and I intend to empower others who struggle with it by letting it go.

Someone recently suggested I give some breakfast ideas, SO… here’s a real good way to start your day.

This 30 day challenge was easier than I expected. I’ve struggled with getting to bed on time for many years, but this challenge gave me the excuse I needed to GET what I needed.
My energy levels are generally higher and my fitness performance has improved as well. I did a 5 Kilometer Run on May 10th and came in 6th place overall with an average mile time of 6 minutes 58 seconds.
Believe it or not, there is a lot of debate around the subject of how much sleep is actually good for you, but I think most people can benefit from getting at LEAST 7.5 to 8 hours per night. That’s about what I averaged during this sleep challenge, which is probably about an hour to an hour and 1/2 more than I was getting before the challenge.
During the last 30 days I also finished my book rewrite and video upgrade. I’m very happy about that, as it’s been on my mind for a pretty long time.
If you want to know what Sexy Fit is about you can learn more HERE!
What surprised me is how quickly I actually finished the rewrite of my 2 books. I had been working on this upgrade for quite a while, but once I focused for a specific amount of time everyday, it got done fast.
30 Day Challenges give you the excuse you need to make things happen. Imagine what is possible for you if you do anything on a regular basis. If you have been waiting for SOME DAY to get started on something important to you, I recommend you start TODAY. I think you’ll be surprised how much you can do, and how QUICKLY you reach the end of your challenge.
