THERE’S ONLY ONE YOU!
It’s inconceivable to even begin to think about all the circumstances and situations in history that made it possible for you and me to be here in this time space reality we call life! It’s my opinion that there is no accidents, and that everything happens for a reason. If you look at children and see the tremendous joy and excitement they have, it’s a shame some of us through domestication lose that lust for life. Kids are so innocent and real up until a certain age because all they know is to be themselves, and just be! Everyday is an adventure, learning at school is fun for most and playing games and running wild is our natural state of being.
Then at some point, usually in our early teens we realize that we are growing up, so a part of our identity changes in a lot of cases. We are creatures of habit, so we start to formulate patterns that we emulate from the people around us. In most cases we form these patters by watching our parents, and our parents picked up the same habitual patterns from their parents. We have all these dreams and aspirations while growing up, but the sad truth is, is we lose a lot of the intense desire to become what we truly want to be because people along the way make it seem like it’s not possible. There have been scientific tests done over the years on 100 two year old kids, where they’ve actually proven that 98 percent of the kids at age two were geniuses. Then they tested the same 100 kids five years later and only a hand full of them were still in the category of genius.
It’s the habits we form along the way that become part of our belief system that gets programmed into our brain just like a computer. Most of us forget that we still have that genius inside our brains, and it’s just a matter of reprogramming the data inside our head. The most special thing about you is, there is only one you! how amazing, that in all the world there is only one of you. If your like most people out there you have some dreams inside you that when you think about them get you really excited. But you have all these alibis why you don’t go after them. Like there’s not enough time, I’m too old, I missed my chance and so on..
You may have resistant thoughts about money and abundance because we heard our parents say how hard money was to come by when we were younger. So now we still have those thoughts that it takes really hard work to make lots of money. In order for you to make some noticeable changes for the better that will leave you feeling optimistic and full of hope again, you just need to change the program. It takes 21 days to break a habit , and the same amount of time to start a new one. And if you make up your mind for what you truly want and reduce it to writing half the battle is won! Your life is worth shooting for the stars and giving it a go. Make a plan and each day make it a practiced ritual to spend some time on your goal, weather it be physical goals or material. Maybe it’s to travel more? Just decide what you want and dream as if you already have it and put some action behind it.
Soon if you follow through with intention and a willingness to succeed, there’s nothing that will stand in the way of what you want except yourself! Listen to your heart and take some chances. The biggest successes in the world have always taken chances and believed in their dreams, you and I are no different.
YOU ARE SPECIAL AND WORTHY – Ryan Phillips

Role Models and HAPPY NEW YEAR
When we were young we all had people that we looked up too and tried to emulate. Whether it be a superhero,rock star,model, movie star ,athlete…you get my drift. For people that have a burning desire to succeed in life in any chosen calling I suggest that you pick a role model to pattern yourself after. The best in any field have always had hero warship, it goes back all through the ages of society, that the best emulate the best. I read some very interesting literature in one of Napoleon Hills books that pertains to this subject. At night before going to sleep he would close his eyes in bed and hold an imaginary council meeting. This meeting would consist of people who he regarding as great people whom he desired their talents in the fields that they excelled in.
He states that after repetition of these imaginary meetings, that they became very real. So real that he had to stop for a time because he was losing a sense of reality. He would have Edison on one side of him asking advice on imagination , Emerson would be in the room and asked for advice on connecting to the natural laws of nature. He revered Carnegie,Ford and Lincoln for their great leadership and mastermind principals. I’ve tried this exercise and It’s amazing with some focussed concentration and imagination how much it works. I chose Naploeon Hill himself, Will Smith,Sidney Crosby, Mario Lemieux just to name a few. All people I look up too for their integrity and desire to be great! What ends up happening is even during the day I will hear these peoples voices driving me. Funny enough Napoleon Hill ended up meeting all his people that he held imaginary meetings with other than the ones that were deceased obviously.
Associating yourself with successful people is a must if you intend on becoming a success. We become who we associate ourselves with and take on traits of our environment no matter what. So it depends on how you measure success on how far you want to take it. For myself I desire inner happiness,love,healthy mind and body and financial freedom to travel and connect to amazing people around the world. This whole life we are living is an experience of of lifetime literally, and it’s our choice to dictate the state of our mind and direct it to what it is we truly desire! We’ve been given all the tools by nature to create a masterpiece of our own life or except mediocrity and be realistic. The adventure of life all starts with a leap of faith and having some fun with what we were blessed with. Work with what you do have and focus on the CAN do portion of what you want in life.
There’s all kinds of awesome videos on Youtube of great inspirational people that we can learn from and pick up dominant traits that will effect our vibration with enough practiced attention to it. This is the last blog of 2011 folks, and I just want to thank everyone that has made my life better. I write these blogs out of my sincere desire to be helpful. Lets all co create together in 2012 and make it the best year yet. We can all make a difference.
HAPPY NEW YEAR – MUCH LOVE -RYAN
Bring out the best in your relationship!
I’m really blessed, my parents have been married for over 40 years. My Dad was only 22 and my mom 20 when they got married. Well times have changed a lot since the baby boomer generation and it’ very apparent. Divorce rates are higher than ever and it’s sad to see and hear that a lot of marriages and relationships aren’t working like they used too. Over the past year especially I’ve been really aware of the ones that do work and why! First there’s a lot that goes into the whole attraction process in the first place. There’s the obvious physical connection which is purely biological. Then there’s patience for one another that needs to really be taken into consideration, it’s a must. You have to want to spend “quality” time with your partner.
LOVE is also a big word that is probably the most over used word in the dictionary that isn’t used with intension and feeling! If you expect your relationship to work out and be long and fulfilling there needs to be unconditional LOVE and understanding. I see the people that are the most happy and fulfilled with their mate and not only are they lovers but best friend as well. They bring out the very best in one another and support each other in all aspects of life. This is an important thing to consider before getting hitched in the first place. If you don’t bring out the very best in each other what’s the point? You can save a long process of upsetting time in your life if you just choose the right soulmate and don’t just settle. So many people get married for the wrong reasons, then it’s not only them that suffers but kids in a lot of cases as well.
Everyone in life deserves to be happy! It’s unfortunate that along the way in the relationships that it’s always negative emotions that push one of the people involved away. Be it jealousy or just trying to change the person into someone he or she isn’t. I hear so many people say they feel like they are walking on eggs shells around their significant other, that’s not cool. People it’s my suggestion that you remember why you fell for that person in the first place everyday! Not every relationship is going to be exactly the way you want it, but it can get pretty darn close if the two of you are on the same level. It’s all about growth and communication, respect, loyalty and true LOVE! My hat goes off to all the great relationships that work, I salute you!
It’s my desire for everyone to be happy and fulfilled emotionally and physically, it’s all available to everyone if we don’t force it. Look around you at the ones that work and take some mental notes as to why. It’s all about choices. And the choices we make are going to effect us no matter what, so make the ones that make sense and feel right. Use your intuition you are blessed with….
BRING OUT THE BEST IN EACH OTHER. -Ryan
Age is only a number
It’s funny how many times I hear both men and women these days talking about their age. People make almost every excuse imaginable as to why they can’t take on a certain activity or the “maybe if I was younger” line. Ageing is inevitable, there’s no escaping it. But we can either choose to embrace it, or go against the grain and resist it. If you think about it, we get wiser as we get older. Especially if we are using the creative faculties of our brain towards what it is we desire in life. Our mind is just like any muscle in the body, without use it will wither away and be useless.
Believe in Yourself
Keep on keeping on!
You know some days when you feel a little down? Those days that our energy just isn’t quite where we want it to be? Well if your human like me you answered yes. The good thing is, is there’s a couple things we can do to pick are moods up and feel a gradual relief from despair. It’s been proven that the brain reacts best when it’s stimulated with the positive emotions we “feed” it. Some of the major positive emotions are love,sex,faith,courage, desire, hope…I’m sure you can think of more but you get my point. I think it’s only natural to not want to get out of bed some days and face the world with responsibilities and issues that seem so important. I realize that a lot of responsibilities are important especially if your a parent where life can be very overwhelming at times due to stress and a willingness to be the best parent we know how.
Give a smile, get a smile..
It’s amazing what the power of a smile can do to uplift the human spirit. I know in some countries in the world it’s considered a sin to smile at other people when you pass them on the street. Unfortunately that’s life in some places in the world, but hopefully it will change one day. I know when someone smiles at me it makes me feel great, especially if I’m having one of those days where I’m inside my head and not totally present. It actually takes less to smile then it does to frown. I know sometimes we leave our homes in the morning to work with a lot of stress built up from our busy lives, we walk into the office and can’t wait for the day to be over. But for one week try and give a smile to everyone that you make eye contact with. Not just a smile from the mouth, but smile from the eyes and really give it with feeling.
