Best Life 2010 Day 207: Good Times in Iowa

We had a show in Clearlake, Iowa that went *really * well!
Now I'm sitting with the guys watching a Katt Williams comedy dvd, about enjoy a glass of wine.

Yes, I lead a hard, hard life!

On the bright side, I'll be home in just over a week, which will be nice.

I am going to write this blog much earlier tomorrow so I'll have to say; for now it's time for wine and then sleep!

Hard life. Hard, hard, life.

And remember:
Never give up, never give up, never ever ever give up.

Best Life 2010 Day 206: Somewhere outside St. Louis

For the first time ever, I truly don't know where I am right now!
Somewhere in Illinois, but not too far from St. Louis (?)

At any rate, it was a good day off; I might even turn in early tonight!
By early, I mean before 5 am. Maybe before 2 am, fingers crossed!

I've enjoyed the tour, I enjoyed getting to spread some love yesterday; now I am going to relax and turning in early!

Thanks to everyone who tuned in to listen to me on the radio today; I'll be on again next Thursday at 5:15 PST; you can listen online at http://ping.fm/TOFQr !

Best Life 2010 Day 205: On The Road...Again.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately; the pace is such that usually after I get in and get settled I'm too tired to write anything!

I got to meet my friend JoJo today!
We had a *blast *; she got to see behind the scenes of the show, and then we ended up getting mixed up in all sorts of insanity later in the night. A good time was had by all, hehehe.

Now we are on the road to St. Louis with an (apparently) full day ahead of me of going to a museum and seeing a movie...guess we'll see what happens.

And yes, I lead a very hard life.

I'm fat guy. Girls always see me as very amazing person but they can't love me because of my body. I always feel sad and i'm in the trap of emotional eating. I eat lots of sweets when i feel sad or bored. I hate myself more and more everyday

I wrote an article about this very thing that should help you a lot:

http://www.examiner.com/x-26138-Spirituality-Examiner~y2010m5d17-QA-How-to-deal-with-emotional-eating--poor-body-image-Video

Ask me anything

How did you know or how did you discover the LoA? Did you do a lot of research?

The Law of Attraction is nothing new; the Secret just made it very public.

I was first exposed to it in 1996 when I started studying religion and mysticism in college.

O=)

Ask me anything

I bought your healing pdf which was really interesting, but, don't get me wrong, your technics sounds kinda too easy to cure every illness. haha I am suffering from 2 uncurable illness. Is it really that easy?

Yes it really is that easy.
How quickly something heals or doesn't heal is limited *only* by your belief in how fast it can heal.

Even calling it 'incurable' is keeping healing out of your life; there is no such thing as an incurable illness.
Your body built itself from scratch once, and every single cell is replaced over a span of 5-7 years, any and everything can and has been healed by someone.

Ask me anything

I heard that everyone has a Guardian or some type of Guide, Spirit that is always with you. Is that true? How can i meet him/her/it?

yes (I believe) it is true.

The easiest way is through tapping into the power of your imagination. Since the line between dreams / imagination and seeing into the next world is a hazy one.

Resolve consciously that you want to meet your spirit guide and even say it out loud if you want. After that, keep your eyes open for meaningful 'coincidences' that might be signs.

You also can sit with your eyes closed and imagine a person standing behind you; DO NOT turn to look at it.
Once you feel the presence powerfully, imagine them putting their hands on your shoulders and feeling the loving energy flowing down into your body and the connection forming even stronger connection between you.

Another way is a technique called 'rising on the planes', which is sitting down with your eyes closed (try not to lay down, or you'll fall asleep) and imagine yourself rising up higher and higher; even if you start seeing things keep rising. Rise till you can't rise any higher...something unmistakable should happen.

O=)

Ask me anything

Can you recommand any Books/DVDs about Brainpower, LoA, Self Healing and more?

yes, the books, pdfs, and podcasts I have done!

Best Life 2010 Day 203: 2 Days Grace

Sorry for the lack of updates, I was home in Little Rock without wireless access!

It was great being home and seeing my mom; I hadn't been back in WAY too long. It was good to eat some home cooking and sleep in a warm bed, too!

I spent 90% of my time at my mom's house, I didn't want to do anything but sleep and hang out with her and my step dad. I also saw my step brother and one of my friends, besides that it was all family time.

We are back on the road now (since it's the morning of the 27th I'm writing this) heading up towards Northern Arkansas and tomorrow we are off to Alabama.

I shot another episode of All About You, and now I need to get some articles written!

Best Life 2010 Day 200: Home Again, Home Again

As of this moment, it's 4:25 am and I'm heading towards my home in Little Rock, Arkansas!
I'll get to see my mom and maybe a hand full of friends, but not if I don't get some sleep!

Today was kinda weird; the venue wanted to cancel the show because ticket sales were so light, so we spent HOURS not knowing if we were going to have a show or not.
We ended up doing it, and having the best one in terms of $$$ since I signed on!

I took a walk around downtown Houston; it was a pretty nice place.
The strangest thing to get used to is going so many places and seeing so littler of them; ah life on the road!

So now I go to bed, and I'll wake up at home!

And remember:
Never give up, never give up, never ever ever give up.

Best Life 2010 Day 200: DAY 200!

Wow, apparently I was so tired last night that I forgot to make a blog entry!
I'm just as tired tonight, I made a mistake and dozed off while watching tv so now I'm all groggy... but I'll dig a little deeper to make this one special hehe.

Both days off were good, but I hit a pretty significant snag. One of the situations I was dealing with at home went nuclear out of nowhere (and I thought it was fixed) so now I have a pretty big mess to clean up and not a lot of time to do it.

Strangely enough, I'm not worried about it.
It's weird that something I was afraid of for so long, and then relieved about going wrong isn't affecting me more; at first I thought I might be in shock, lolol. I believe it's because I know that everything always turns out for the best, 100% of the time. So I'll either find a way to fix this situation, or live with what comes from it and create something better; I choose to perceive it as no big deal.

In other news, I saw the movie Inception today...AMAZING. I like to think of myself as a pretty creative guy, but I don't know where Christopher Nolan even began to think of some of the things he put in that movie...WOW.

I got back working out today, which was good; although I've been plenty active out on the road sweating in the heat moving boxes around and such. Still it feels good to have some sort of structure.
I also shot (and am trying to upload, fingers crossed) a new episode of All About You from the tour bus, so you can see a little bit of how it looks in here, hehehe.

And finally,
I found out I won't be gone nearly as long as I thought!
I thought I'd be traveling through the end of August or later, but I'll actually be back home from August 7 for at least a month or more, so that's great, too!

OK, fatigue is catching up to me so I'm not sure if this is making any sense; but I DO know that you are great and I love you!

Never give up, never give up, never ever ever give up.

The Laborer and the Nightingale (Aesop's Fables)

A Labourer lay listening to a Nightingale's song throughout
the summer night. So pleased was he with it that the next night
he set a trap for it and captured it. "Now that I have caught
thee," he cried, "thou shalt always sing to me."

"We Nightingales never sing in a cage." said the bird.

"Then I'll eat thee." said the Labourer. "I have always heard
say that a nightingale on toast is dainty morsel."

"Nay, kill me not," said the Nightingale; "but let me free,
and I'll tell thee three things far better worth than my poor
body." The Labourer let him loose, and he flew up to a branch of
a tree and said: "Never believe a captive's promise; that's one
thing. Then again: Keep what you have. And third piece of advice
is: Sorrow not over what is lost forever." Then the song-bird
flew away.

Best Life 2010 Day 198: Five Days Straight

This is absolutely the fastest week of my life!

It's good, because it means I don't have time to be home sick, since life out here goes *fast *!
Tomorrow (well, today) is a day off, so I am looking forward to some much needed time off to get caught up and rest some; maybe shoot a video, hehehe.

I had the best boneless wings today with something called 'Texas Gold' on it:
honey mustard, barbecue sauce and brown sugar on them; SO GOOD!

Well, I'm telling you about wing sauce so that means it must be time to sleep. Enjoy your day and I promise I'll make more sense tomorrow!

The Farmer and the Cranes (Aesop's Fables)

SOME CRANES made their feeding grounds on some plowlands newly
sown with wheat. For a long time the Farmer, brandishing an
empty sling, chased them away by the terror he inspired; but when
the birds found that the sling was only swung in the air, they
ceased to take any notice of it and would not move. The Farmer,
on seeing this, charged his sling with stones, and killed a great
number. The remaining birds at once forsook his fields, crying
to each other, "It is time for us to be off to Liliput: for this
man is no longer content to scare us, but begins to show us in
earnest what he can do."

Lexi was a big ol' clingy bear, almost as if she knew I was about to be leaving. I for my part didn't mind, I was clinging to her, too! She got to stay up extra late so I could have more time with her.

The Woodman and the Serpent

One wintry day a Woodman was tramping home from his work when
he saw something black lying on the snow. When he came closer he
saw it was a Serpent to all appearance dead. But he took it up
and put it in his bosom to warm while he hurried home. As soon as
he got indoors he put the Serpent down on the hearth before the
fire. The children watched it and saw it slowly come to life
again. Then one of them stooped down to stroke it, but thc
Serpent raised its head and put out its fangs and was about to
sting the child to death. So the Woodman seized his axe, and with
one stroke cut the Serpent in two. "Ah," said he,


"No gratitude from the wicked."

Best Life 2010 Day 190: 400 Days and 400 Nights

My journal (now this blog) is 400 days old now!

Journaling is a very interesting process, and I highly recommend it; you'd be amazed what you can learn about yourself when you just let it all out uncensored. Well, I don't post the TOTALLy uncensored parts on here, but I think you know what I mean, hehehe.

I still have a friend from out of town staying over, and Lexi LOVES him. It's funny how she takes to some people so strongly and not to others; it's great to see her so happy, though.

I also watched the new Wolfman movie...really good as long as you know it's more drama than action / horror. I don't usually like horror movies, but this one was quite enjoyable. Book of Eli is next on the 'to watch' list.

A few more days until I can tell you my big announcement, but for now I can tell you that all the clouds have parted and everything is going GREAT.
Just a week ago I couldn't have guessed all that has happened would happen. I don't mean to keep being a tease about it; the reason why I bring it up is so that you can know that whatever you are up against, a solution can manifest at ANY time!

Keep your head up and keep swinging, and you *will * make it through.

Best Life 2010 Day 189: Hospitality Service

I have a friend in from out of town (just back from living in China for a year, in fact) so I've been on full time hospitality duty.

It's been fun, but it's 3 am now and I'm just getting home (!!!)
I'm used to being up at this hour, but not being out at this hour, lolol.

My weekend was good, partying with friends, went to see the movie Predators today (better than all but the first one), and even rented movies from Blockbuster, which is something I never do anymore.

All in all, a good time. I feel so tremendously good all the time, like all the stress in the world is gone and I am light and free.

I want nothing more in life than for you to feel as good as I feel, all the time.
If you already do, enjoy it; and if you don't, hang in there and you'll get it!

Best Life 2010 Day 188: Ahead of schedule

One of my best friends came into town after living abroad for a year; it's good to have him staying here and being able to hang out.

I'll tell you everything that's been going on with me in 1 more week (I promise), but again, it's *good *!!!!

It's amazing how quickly things turned around, out of the blue; I can truly say I never lost faith or the sight of my goals. I truly couldn't have forseen what was coming for me.

The moral of the story: whatever you are up against, keep your head up and keep moving! And, if the road takes an unexpected twist or turn, don't be afraid to take it!

Uncertainty can be terrifying, or exciting; it's up to you to decide what you are going to focus on. And remember, like Helen Keller said:

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing."

alliance with him to their mutual advantage. The Lion replied,
"I have no objection, but you must excuse me for requiring you to
find surety for your good faith, for how can I trust anyone as a
friend who is able to fly away from his bargain whenever he
pleases?'


Try before you trust.

Best Life 2010 Day 187: 1,000% A-OK

God is good.
I got yet ANOTHER major blessing out of the blue today, so my life is absolutely perfect now. All my problems solved, my hurdles leapt; it's onward and upwards now!

It's no secret that it's been a rough few months, but that is all thankfully behind me now. It feels good to have my hardest choice to be which project I want to work on first, and what's the best way to do it?

Whatever it is you are up against, keep your head up and KEEP MOVING!
You can have anything in this world if you believe in yourself and work hard.

And remember:
Never give up, never give up, never ever ever give up.

Best Life 2010 Day 186: Escape Velocity

Well, my 'mystery blessing' won't kick in fully till the end of this month, but I have many hurdles to jump before then. It doesn't matter, I've held out this long, I can hold out a little bit longer!

The reason why I bring this up, is I could very easily let everything that is going right in my life get all messed up by focusing on the things that are going not-right. But, since I believe the Universe is on my side, nothing can go 'bad' so I'll call them the things that aren't going how I would like them to go.

I choose to focus on the blessings!

Had a good day out with Charlene and Lexi today, paid some bills...which is something I actually enjoy! Same thing as above, I choose to be happy that I have money TO pay bills rather than be mad that I *have to * pay bills.
It's a simple shift in focus that really makes life a lot easier and more fun.

All in all, the tide is turning in my favor and I thank God for it!

And remember:
Never give up, never give up, never ever ever give up.

The Horse, Hunter and Stag

A quarrel had arisen between the Horse and the Stag, so the
Horse came to a Hunter to ask his help to take revenge on the
Stag. The Hunter agreed, but said: "If you desire to conquer the
Stag, you must permit me to place this piece of iron between your
jaws, so that I may guide you with these reins, and allow this
saddle to be placed upon your back so that I may keep steady upon
you as we follow after the enemy." The Horse agreed to the
conditions, and the Hunter soon saddled and bridled him. Then
with the aid of the Hunter the Horse soon overcame the Stag, and
said to the Hunter: "Now, get off, and remove those things from my
mouth and back."

"Not so fast, friend," said the Hunter. "I have now got you
under bit and spur, and prefer to keep you as you are at present."


If you allow men to use you for your own purposes,
they will use you for theirs.

Best Life 2010 Day 185: Double-down blessings!

OK, a *second * great thing happened today, but I can't tell you about this one yet, either. But don't worry: this one I can announce in a day, maybe 2; just want to make sure we're all on the same page, first.

Needless to say, things are heating up!
Oddly enough, my mental game has been totally back together for a while now; I had no reason to believe everything would turn around, nor could I see a way out but it's presented itself!

God is good.

It feels good to be writing again, I think I am going to shoot an episode of All About You tonight if I can think of something to talk about; hmmm...

And remember:
Never give up, never give up, never ever ever give up.

Best Life 2010 Day 184: Prayer Changes Things

A *tremendous * blessing fell out of the sky today; but it will be about 2 weeks before I can tell you all about it. I know this seems like a bit of a tease, but I'm keeping this one close to my chest until it manifests fully.

I can tell you for certain, though: prayer changes things!

My spiritual work has kicked back into high gear, too; new revelations coming in from all directions. The whole shape of my life and what is to come has changed, and I am SO excited for it!

To be quite honest...I'm still rather stunned!

And remember:
Never give up, never give up, never ever ever give up.

Best Life 2010 Day 183: Holiday-3

Even though the holiday was yesterday, most things were closed today so it was essentially a 4 day weekend.
Then again, since I am self employed every day both is and is not a weekend for me!

I feel so happy and blessed to have built up the following I have now; but I am really wracking my brain for ways to keep growing; more friends, more fans, more followers on Twitter, my subscribers to my articles.
The Internet is a strange place: you can't ask people to do anything directly.
Even if it's free, even if they'd like it; you just can't.
So I am looking for new ways to reach new people (and open to suggestions!)

The reason why I want this is 3 fold: 1, if I can demonstrate a large following it will be easier to break into TV or radio; 2. I can reach more people to help them, and 3. more people == more book sales and coaching clients (this IS what I do for a living, afterall).

I am still looking for a job of some sort, full time or part time if I can find the right thing, but I'd much rather keep doing it on my own. Even if I take on a job of some sort it will just be to stabalize things until my writing and coaching is built up to where I need it to be.

Oh well, if it was TOO easy it wouldn't be worth doing, right?

And remember:
Never give up, never give up, never ever ever give up.

Best Life 2010 Day 182: Happy Birthday America!

Today was the 4th of July, Independence Day here in the States; the nation is 234 years old today!

I woke up early to watch Lexi so Charlene could go see the new Twilight movie (I am *so * not interested); took a nap and then we went and hung with friends. A good and relaxing day all in all.

I'm taking this time figure out how to align my intention and efforts to move forward; like always, if one thing isn't working: do something else!

And remember:
Never give up, never give up, never ever ever give up.

Best Life 2010 Day 181: Strange Day

Today got off to quite a strange start: Lexi woke up at like 5 am (for no reason) and I couldn't get her back to sleep; I stayed up with her until around 930 when her mom woke up, and then I went back to bed and slept into the afternoon.
The LATE afternoon!
Needless to say, my day was kinda scrambled.

Oprah voting ended today, now they have to cut down however many people uploaded videos and showed up for live casting calls down to 40 (the people with the top 5 votes are guaranteed a place, so 35 more out of the total pool).
Needless to say I hope to hear something soon, but either way it's in God's hands now. I made the best video I could make, and did the best I could at the live audition; I'm going to put the whole thing out of my mind now and keep moving on to the next thing.

I hope all of my American Brothers and Sisters have a safe and happy 4th of July, and for everyone else, enjoy the rest of your weekend!

The Eagle and the Arrow (Aesop's Fables)

An Eagle was soaring through the air when suddenly it heard
the whizz of an Arrow, and felt itself wounded to death. Slowly
it fluttered down to the earth, with its life-blood pouring out of
it. Looking down upon the Arrow with which it had been pierced,
it found that the shaft of the Arrow had been feathered with one
of its own plumes. "Alas!" it cried, as it died,


"We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction."

Right when I got used to my internet conking out at midnight, today it went out at 6 pm!
I'm glad that I got my coaching email(s) sent out before it did; if it doesn't kick back in before too long I guess I'm going to call it an early night!

Well today marks the end of my 6 months, but not the end of my journey...or this blog!

Apparently things went *quite * well on the radio yesterday, since they wanted me back on today! Unfortunately I was already tied up for the afternoon, but I hope to get back on the airwaves soon!

One thing I took from the experience is I DEFINITELY want to be in the radio and / or tv biz!

Hopefully that break is coming soon; the rules for the Oprah contest said the final casting shoot would be "12 days in the month of July" so if the voting ends on July 3 I'd hope to hear something by what, the 10th? 15Th?

Either way, fingers crossed!

My time is coming soon, if not through this opportunity than through another one. If it takes 9 or 12 months instead of 6, or even a year or more I'll take it.
What is meant for me is for me, and nothing and no one can stop it!

Best Life 2010 Day 179: New Day Dawning

I did my very first radio call in interview today, on www.wlllradio.com today; and had a BLAST.
The whole experience is actually kinda a blur for me; I was just answering questions to the best of my ability; but word is from the people who heard it that I did a good job!
Hopefully it will open the door for me to do some more radio work in the very near future.

Beyond that it was a good day, with some unexpected blessings. Heading into a long weekend, but I have nothing but work ahead!

That's ok...since I love what I do. O=)

Hey Dave - Can you discuss whether a relationship where one partner has extreme self-centeredness could ever truly end in love? My ex had a huge (almost sociopathic) issue with this so my answer is no but I wanted to get your take on it.

I wrote an article previously about a woman who's in love with a Narcissist; the answer I gave her is the answer I give you:
