 The law of Gratitude never fails! No matter what the circumstances are in our lives there’s always something to be grateful for. If you watch your thoughts they have a way of attaching themselves to the next thought. When you are constantly talking and thinking of good things, your mind becomes saturated with them and pure goodness flows. That’s when we feel the most inner and outer joy. The domino effect really works, as whatever we give our attention to the most, has a way of manifesting itself into our reality. The more gratitude I practice, the more I find myself in alignment with universal intelligence. When I get away from the state of mind of gratitude my days just don’t flow peacefully. It can seem very trying at times to look at the good in a negative situation, but the more we practice being grateful in those times the easier it is to cope and gently find solace and peace of mind faster. It’s the attitude of gratitude that keeps me calm these days. Thank god because my monkey mind tends to get the best of me a lot, and it’s gratitude that takes me into a better feeling place.

Much Love

 Sometimes in the busyness of my mind I lose focus on what matters in  my life. I think so many of us do in these times when we are bombarded with many stories of negativity on tv, the radio and newspaper. But something deep inside my soul always tells my mind to snap out of it and just be grateful for everything that i do have in my life. Living in a state of gratitude puts an individual on the frequency which is in alignment to their true nature. Yesterday I saw these young kids riding their bikes laughing and just loving the present moment. I smiled as I saw these kids and I reflected on my own youth when all I ever thought about was the excitement that each day brought. How endless energy was always drawn from within and shinned outwards. It’s been proven that we are what we are because what we think and the environment we reside in. So very true when you think about it on a deep level. Our whole existence is the result of evolutionary change. We stand on the perfect platform right here and now to create a state of well being for ourselves and the people around us. Being truly aligned with Love and Gratitude always brings us closer to receiving all the bountiful gifts that are awaiting our claim. The business of happiness always depends on what we allow to flow our way. Intending happiness for ourselves and others is such a blessing. My desire for the world is for everyone who has resistant thoughts to come out of those holding patterns and awakening to the higher self which is the real you.

Infinite Gratitude and Love to all..

This past February I met an amazing man named Terry Enright, I met Terry while doing a bike ride across   the beautiful country of Cambodia. The first day of the ride I met so many wonderful people that were all part of a great cause . All the riders involved were helping to raise money and awareness to help eradicate human trafficking and sex slavery. Terry and I rode together for much of that first day and he shared many stories about his life. He had lost a wife and daughter that meant the world to him and he spoke of both of them in such high regards. Terry past away this past week and as much as it saddened me I found some peace in the misfortune to know that his spirit can now join his lost loved ones from the past ,and not have to suffer from the cancer he had been battling for the past 7 years. I can speak on behalf of all the riders that our lives have been made better from meeting and riding with Terry. Not once did he complain of anything during the long days of riding through country side roads and villages. He loved people and most of all was a a giver of his own love in all aspects of his life. Many emotions were shared on that ride in shelters and as a group just getting to know each other. I found out the first day of the ride he had funded a school in memory of his late wife and after the ride was over he was to give the school it’s first breath of life for the kids of Cambodia which he cared for so deeply. Terry made a difference in the lives of others, he made an imprint in my soul,and my memory of him will never die. Next year when I ride from Vietnam to Cambodia for the same cause (The Somaly Mam Foundation and Projects Futures Global) I will ride in honour of Terry Enright. I miss and Love you Terry. Thank you for all the lives you’ve touched and the many that will benefit from you being on this planet.
Rest In Peace my dear friend
Much Love Ryan Phillips and all who loved Terry

 How many times in our lives do we hear life is a series of tests? Lot’s most likely, and I agree that we go through every segment of life experience to feel emotions and gain a deep understanding of others and what we may truly desire in life. It’s very tough sometimes when all the chips deem down and life is against you to get back on the positive vibration. I’ve been feeling a lot like that lately. My gut telling me one thing, my heart guiding me into another. The worst part is sometimes you hurt others in the process and don’t realize that the only person who is entirely in control of the way we feel is “us”. We have the choice to to allow ourselves to feel good or bad in every moment of life. When we’re feeling down we can really fall into some deep misery. And we wonder how at times we can feel so good then “bam!” Some issues arise weather personal or work related that really effect our vibrational set point.

 The only advice I can give to you guys , Is when these feelings come about are to really just accept them for what they are and follow your intuition. I always feel so bad when I get taken the wrong way or hurt people I really care about because they aren’t inside me and have no real idea how I feel. I believe if you are an honest good person that you deserve to feel good most of the time. The good times pass, the so called bad times are times to appreciate the good ones that much more. And allowing your self to feel is a true blessing no matter what the emotions are that come into our mind, body and soul..I’m just saying sometimes we need to be a little selfish and focus on ourselves from the inside out. See where the issues are deep rooted and walk through them with courage and faith. Nobody ever said it was going to be easy, especially if your a sensitive person that feels life on a very emotional level.

Stay Cool and Enjoy the process of Life unfold..

 As I write I’m in the home stretch of Making Return to Happiness a tangible reality. Which started off as a dream close to five months ago and took myself and cameraman and editor Khalil Michot “all over the map” is coming into form. I’d like to take this opportunity to give thanks to the many people along this journey that have made it so inspiring. And to Khalil and all you film editors, hats off you people are bad ass and true artists. The journey has been fun, but along any journey along our trails, it’s the people you remember most. From the simplest farmer on a country side road to the many travelers a long the way. The gift of my happiness is watching the film and the positive people that have made my life that much better in just getting to know them as people. Through coordinated effort, anything is possible. Stay tuned friends..
