To sum up this podcast episode I have to share with you, this is it.   “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You pu...

We have all heard the word, "Abracadabra," from a magician but do you know what it truly means? Here is what I found: According to older theories, the word ‘Abracadabra’ is derived from the Hebrew words ‘ab, ben, ruach hakodesh’, which translates as ‘Father, Son and Holy Spirit’. Thus, the word ‘Abracadabra’ was in fact an invocation of the Holy Trinity. According to another theory, this...

Fear is something that has been programmed into our brains since an early age.  Fear is not something bad per se. If you have a lion in front of you, when the fear kicks into your body and reacts, this is a healthy response. You want the fear there so your body can prepare to either fight or run like hell. But, what about most of the fear that we experience in life. Is it as real as...

When they take out their knives, they sharpen them prior to using them. After they are done, they will clean the knives, dry them off and give them one more sharpening before putting them away. Why is this so critical for us to do in life...

I remember growing up hearing, "You can't have your cake and eat it too." Never understood how I couldn't have a slice of cake in front of me and not enjoy it. But, as I got older and hopefully wiser, I learned that this was a form of a limited belief system. Too many times, we put our limited beliefs upon someone else's dreams and visions. Too many times, we spoil a pure mind and vision because w...

When you realize the power within, you can achieve anything, as long...

Living in an information era has so many benefits but yet, also comes with an opportunity cost. When we depend on information all day and that becomes our main focus, we build the muscle of the mind/ego to take over more. It starts to be the leading way of life but when this happens, it is much easier to be controlled, distracted, and a loss of focus. In this episode, I will share with you somethi...
