Humble Power in Simplicity — it's a beautiful thing.

Last blog post was a hit in many way but mostly because many caring people took time to read and leave comments to share how they use the KISS principle and how powerful it may be.

The comments prompted me to return the caring of my friends as best as I know

how now and went on to read their blog posts and boy, boy, did I get a big surprise.
Pleasantly surprised because have I not read all of them, I could not imagine that so many talented people were out there ready to share for free very, very valuable information, just because they care to support others in the field that they are more knowledgeable.

"Humble Power in Simplicity" at work

From the comments receive on my past post, I noticed one single element that was
almost present in all of them... and that was how powerful the KISS principle is and how other people use it, and most of all, how is so powerful to make things happen faster and in a very simple way, I call that the "Humble Power in Simplicity"

I may not be an expert on making things simple, at times, I too make things very
complicated and when that happen, I kick myself for doing it, but since I probably done it thousands of times before without knowing... Sooo when I get in the trap of making things difficult, recognizing that I must be gentle and loving to myself, slowly get back on track, by living and or doing things in a simple way once again.

This is where the power in simplicity
— become a beautiful thing and love it.

Many people who come across along the pathway of life, have helped me knowingly and unknowingly and now love to thank them all... hope we cross pathways again and so I can thank them personally. Everyone supported me to discover and be aware that things are not going smooth, and they shared with me a simple sign (could have been anything they say, did or whatever) and that triggered to start using the KISS principle while interacting with them or while coaching, in person, by phone or over the internet...

The powerful feeling to use a simple principle, usually prompt me to do everything possible to slowly get back to the some simple solutions or in other words, as my friend say, get back to "Keep it Simply Simple."

Real, Life Example

The other day had to deal with a rather very sensitive and personal issue that have been going on for a long time, and at the simultaneously, deal with second issue concerning my health and well being (a very painful foot that made hard for me to walk).
I live 20 minutes between two small towns in a cottage country, and the place is surrounded by nature, bushes, wild animals, forest and rivers. My choice to be here was mainly to enjoy the silence, privacy and outdoors and since I like walking, that is the main thing I love to do every day, but when some health challenges show up, it is not fun... the other day was one of those days, and topping it off with the other personal and sensitive issue with a friend... I tell you it sure was not a fun week.

Mother Theresa saying... "Do it Anyway"

Well, my foot was hurting and my mind was not clear... so what to do? I went for a

walk anyway and made it for a round trip of 7 Kilometres... once done, my foot was hurting more, but making it back to my home after walking 7 KM, made me feel great and forgetting the pain and the challenge. Plus, after taking a shower, wrote a note to my friend and simple explained what was the challenge and solution in a very simple way.
Once that part was done, I felt much better knowing it was done properly and simply stated to be understood, not necessarily accepted, but understood. That was my aim, and I felt very good about it, proving that using the "Humble Power in Simplicity" can be very helpful.
What I received as a reply from my friend, did not confirm what was simply stated in my message... rather, it was made more complicated thanks to what I believe was an egotistical reaction... so again I used the invisible "Humble Power in Simplicity" and said nothing in return... by the evening I receive more messages and finally at the end, I felt that even after deciding to not reply, my friend slowly demonstrated that she was actually using the Humble Power in Simplicity herself, without me mentioning it at all and she come down to the simple solution that she was comfortable with and that solution did not make me feel any more upset, as I was in the early morning.

"Do it Anyway"

In conclusion for this time, I like to add that by examining ourselves FIRST... more

often than not, a simple solution to any challenges is always found... and that is what I come to call it the "Humble Power in Simplicity"
Thanks for reading... I trust you have benefitted in some ways and thanks so much for sharing your contributions for others to better themselves, myself being one of them... without you, all the above and much more, would not have been possible.
May God Guide you and all of us, to the noblest act of all... LOVE.

Vision for the future

Yesterday, as I was reading a book (Spiritual Gems, a book published by Radha Soami Satsang Beas) my yes were glued to each and every word. I could not help it, but keep reading till my eyes where to tired to read and went to sleep...

What was that keep me reading it so intensively?  I can share (the what) with you, but it would not be much of help, unless you do it.

You see, I believe this is something personal and can only be discovered by ourselves... each one of us is at a different state of mind or at a different stage in life and with that said, it will have different results, different feelings or ideas, etc...

But wait, I can share with you some. So please keep reading...

When I first buy the book, a while back while attending one of their Sunday gatherings (I am talking about Sat Mat gatherings)... I used to attend those gatherings every so often, when I lived close to the GTA, but for the last two years I moved 150 KM away, and because of the distance and many other factors that it is best not to go into here, it has not been easy for me to schedule a visit, but will do it soon since I miss it a lot and also, want to buy a few more books that I just discovered I did not buy before, books that are part of a spiritual book collection that I have started a few years ago.

Back to the "Spiritual Gems" book... this book is a collection of letters to disciples around the world, mainly to western world... by Huzur Maharaj Baba Sawan Singh Ji.

What is written on those letters are very precious, or we should say "Gems" as the title imply, but again, this is a personal view and I believe it's best that you go ahead and read the book yourself so you decide if these words are precious or not.

The first thing that attracted my full attention was that I really had to focus hard on every word that was written on those pages... and that really surprised me since in the past, reading any books of this nature was easy (mind you, that was easy for me, after many years of practice)... never the less, I keep reading, slow yes, but I keep reading and it was not long after that, when I realized that I start to understand better and much faster.

This may not be a big thing for you at this time in your life, you may be well ahead of me and that is great... but I am here to attest that for me, the discovery of being able to read  faster and understanding better and enjoying reading immensely more and more, it was a joyful revelation for me.

Soon I was able to put two and two together as the saying go... Yes! Yes? That's it, I say to my self, this is what hoften apply in real life, the life I live each and every day.

Somehow I missed to understand as clearly before, I missed to understand how important that was, but now finally got it... and that is: Once we do start to do anything new, or experience anything new, we tend to give up quickly because we do not understand, or dismiss our gut feeling, our intuition, or not paying attention of what's going on in our life every day in such directions as health, wealth and spirituality... what ever it may be, I am certain you recognize it now, correct?

That was the ha! ha! moment for me to pay attention and I did as best as I could, yes, I was half a sleep, but I did it very well... and this morning, one of the first things I did was pick up the book again and say thanks, thanks with very deep gratitude, thanks to the source, the universal power, thanks to Master.

Thanks Master for allowing me to arrive at the point and understand that life is a journey and (I know you heard this before and I did it as well.. but I never understood as I did yesterday, so please forgive me if I use words that were used many times before), Life is, and most of all, understand much deeper that LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE of it...

Not sure how much will affect your thinking after reading so far, or if it was important enough for making you read till the end... but I must say again, that all the above made an impact on my life and the vision for the future, an impact that I pray that stay within me at all times and never forget it, and also hope that in some ways you discover what will impact you the most in your life right now, this moment.

Wishing the best of health, peace and confidence to know, within, that each one of us is special in our own way and be grateful for all what come our way, because it's just right and customized for us, according to all what we think, say and do each and every second of our existence here on this planed of ours.

If at any time you feel that I may assist in any way... please be assured that I am here for you anytime... information on how to do it is below, just email me or comment or call me...

My leap year resolution...

Meditation is part of my life and it has been since 1998... thanks
to my Spiritual Teacher I was finally liberated from misconceptions
about meditation and today after more the 14 years I enjoy it immensely...
hope you meditate your self as well and so you know what I mean :-)

If you require any information, please shoot me a line... I am here to
support you in any way I possibly can.

As we know, once every four years, we encounter a leap year and
surprise... if you were not aware...

Today, February 29-2012 is the day haha :-)

So what we do to celebrate it?

I have a lot to celebrate... to many things and events for me to list them here...
but I can share with you that last week... FINALLY decided to give up a lot of
distractions in my life and focused on one direction in life.. plus, I finally
chosen one direction in business as well by working on one of my businesses at
a time an do a great job according to my knowledge, intelligence and Guidance.

Meditation for me has been a blessing and my intention is to continue for ever till
God call me back to where I come from.

Meditation helped me more then I can write here... and so, I just list some of the
areas where it made the most impact...

Forgive and forget, we heard this before, correct? Well, it was not easy for me.. but
since I learned about karma.. It sure changed things and so I done more then ever
before and continue doing it as I am aware along life.

Relaxing, was another part that I was neglecting... have done lots of it and take the
opportunity to do it as often as possible.

Care, wow, what a wake up call I received once I truly understood what caring mean...
well, I do not have to say much more since you guessed... I continually caring more
and more as best as I know how.

Stand out, ok, ok, my SMALL ego done this more then I wanted to... but in the last 14
years I did a lot to change directions and so I start to stand out more for great and
beneficial things that matter.

Speak up, it is said that I am a man that does not keep much inside... I actually have
been blamed for talking to much in many occasions... guess when it is most evident?
When I do my best to assist others :-)

Contribute, we all do this over and over again consciously or not... and I make a point
to do it more and more consciously... hope you do the same, it is wonderful.

Embrace, embracing means a lot to me... it remind me a time in the past when embracing
100% with gusto saved my life in more ways then one.. so I love to embrace in all I do, say
and think as long as it is NOBLE and beneficial to my self, my family and all human beings
everywhere...

Create, is another virtue that God shared with me abundantly... I keep creating every day
and always strive to create what is useful and beneficial... ok, ok, ok.. sometime I just get
carried away and mess up haha :-)

Give credit, this is not something that I was used to do at all (remember my SMALL EGO
issue??) but with practice I was able to master it and now almost at all situations I am able
to give credit as freely as I would want others to give credit to me.

Smile, hhhahahhahahahah I love to do it every second of my existence here on earth... and I
do it as often as possible... and when I cannot do it... I always look forward to when I am able
to do it again and again :-)speak truth and refuse to compromise--more than we usually do.

Finally I realized I am rumbling about this for to long.. I let you go ahead and start doing what
best you can do to make a difference out there... you can start with any of the above or you can
make up your own... what is important is that you do it and start NOW... it will be great for you
and for every one who care for you and of course the one you care most your self...

Enjoy this Leap Year day more then ever... it only happen every 4 years haha :-)

Hey, it's just one day, but be careful, it might become a habit :-)

Love, peace, harmony and prosperity...

Apologies are Healthy...

Apologies are Healthy as I see it anyway...

Good morning/day/afternoon/night to you...

thanks for reading and hope this post will lighten your pathway of life...

I just read a post from a friend (I now like to call him a friend, but it
was not long a go, I did not want to be associated with him at all...

 BAD MISTAKE... read below and then you will know better... 

This is a comment on his blog that I made this morning...

"Hey Dennis, well, it is finally out of the bag…
THANKS so much for sharing your story… and with this I like to
shameful say to you that I dismissed you and what you where doing
a few years back when I purchased a program or product from you
and did not do much…

Why? Some how I done what you have done for years...

Get ideas, do something about it for a while and then let them
collect dust (regular and cyber) and move on to the next get rich quick
stuff… That cost me thousands (in the tune of probably $200,000 or
more) and now here I am apologizing to you because finally I found
out what I need to know years a go…

Sorry for placing you in a position I now believe YOU DO NOT BELONG…

we all make mistakes (as you already know) but I can say that I made VERY
LARGE MISTAKES… Sorry for doing that to you and probably to
others as well..

Hope in some ways I can make it up to you and others soon and
as time go on (I will be 66 this month and I better smarten up… correct?)

On the same note of stress… I like to share with you that I also found
out that stress was the virus behind many problems in life (mine anyway)
and I also have a story to tell…. a long story if I may say so…

MY LIFE STORY… 

I would love if you can share with me the contacts you have so I can
connect and make this story shine as it should and hoping to assist others
sort out their life in some ways and start walking towards a better direction.

Ho, yes, my SMALL EGO have something to do with all of this… but as
we know, with out the ego we cannot function.. so matter as well use it in
moderation and make things happen for the greater good.

Ok, Dennis, you do what you like with this message… hope it is beneficial in
many ways and you will reply to me here or by my email address…

Thanks for reading it (sorry it is so long) and hope again, that you accept my
apology for being inconsiderate and stupid (or ignorant) a few years a go for
not sensing that you where a great person to be associated with….

Look forward to travel with you and others along this great trip.. and ready to
reach the destination, no matter where it is or how long it will take… "
warmly…

Cell Phones...

Cell phones,

The first cell phone I purchased was so big that and heavy that it was hard to use for to long because it was tiring. That was back in the 1980's Since then, many new models and many more plans come into the market.

For years, I went with the flow and spend a lot of money for new plans and new phones... but for the last 5-6 years now, I have been using a simple phone with a pay-as-you-go plan with Telus and use the phone occasionally and only for convenience... how about you?

 I personally have lots of questions and I am certain you have some as well... so let's explore cell phones issues further to assist us decide what is best for us and why.

First of all, being available all the time on your cell phone, is this what you really want?

Do you really want to be available for anyone and everyone on a 24/7 basis?

Many answers can come up from these simple questions, so let me explain more of what I really mean here or better still, let my friend Mario Caruso explain it better then me:

Hi, Mario here, "A famous person once said that the more available you make yourself; the more available everyone will expect you to be".

People will actually be annoyed if you are not instantly and constantly available rather than being pleased when you do call. People expecting you to be available all the time may be annoying. Cell phone calls follow you everywhere you are including your bathroom. Even during nighttime when you want to rest, cell phones continue to ring and annoy you.

If it is important, no problem but if it is very menial, why you need to be bothered so late. Today in this modern society, we live in and the proliferation of cell phones we see people talking anywhere and everywhere.

If used for business, this may prove to be very effective and worthy. However, for very menial issues being bothered in your sleep and even during your bathroom time may be quite annoying if not outright disgusting.

However, if you make yourself available all the time, you created your own nightmare. Cell phone etiquette is getting to be a forgotten concept. You will see people talking on the phone loudly and disturbs people nearby in restaurants and even in offices. I am sure by now, once or twice in a meeting you will notice that when a cell phone rings, almost everyone around will immediately look for their cell phones.

If you were the one talking, and then the person in front of you talks on his phone, how would you feel? I am sure you will feel belittled and ignored. Rude practice, and should be changed. It may help people who use cell phones to follow certain degree of etiquette with respect to the use of cell phones specially in places where you may seem rude if you use or even when your cell phone rings.

When you are in a place of worship, it may be necessary to leave your cell phone in the house or at least turn it off if you do not want to be away with it. This is because ringing cell phone will not just disturb you while you pray it will also disturb others. You do not need to show off your expensive gadget in a place of worship. During meetings, please turn off your cell phone; it is rude to have your phone ringing while somebody speaks.

Disruption may cause problems especially when the meeting tackles extremely important issues. However, if you are waiting for terribly important call, you may use the vibrate mode of your cell phone to alert you when a call is in-coming and leave the meeting if you need to answer the call. You may also inform the possible caller that you are in a meeting and that you cannot be disturbed. 

When traveling and if you are on-board an aircraft, you will be required to turn off your phone. This is because electronics devices may interfere with the aircraft’s avionics. Thus, it is a requirement to turn of your phone for safety reasons. However, for extremely long flights, airline companies allow cell phone usage at a certain time, if you really need to make a phone call, use this time allotted if necessary.

Cell phone have become to be a necessity nowadays, that is why most people use it and cell phone manufacturers have continuously develop different usage and functions for this very small gadget. My suggestion is simple, be globally competitive, but you should understand that being rude is not part of modernity. Allow me another suggestion.

My opinion may or may not count (hope it does to assist you in some ways)... follow certain degree of etiquette; this will be very helpful to you and your business.

Please comment especially if you have any personal experience and suggestions...

Thanks so much for reading so far.

Peace, Health, Harmony and Prosperity for all.

Deep Discount Network

... what is Deep Discount Network?

Deep Discount Network is...

Cheating Your Way to the American Dream without Risking Jail Time!

Hello my friend and/or soon to be,Today I like to introduce you to something that may be very, very profitable in these trying times that we are experiencing

Most of us practice what we learn in the past... and many of us really do not have a clue how to deal with hard times, is not their fault since in the lat 2 or 3 decades we had it pretty good. 

I believe the time has come for all of us to learn more on How To Live a Great Lifestyle With Less... this does not mean we need to cut down of all what we like... but what it really mean is knowing how and why it's important to use all the help we have available to live better in any environments that present along our pathway of life...

Please read more of what Mark, my friend and associate has to say...

"My close friends are convinced I’m doing something illegal… Most of my business associates have so much money they just think I’m cheap. But look….it’s real simple. If you had access to the powerful money secrets like the ones I’m going to show you’d be insane not to take advantage of them…especially in this economy! Granted….

I’ve made (and kept) a boatload of money. But the fact is I RARELY pay full price for anything. And I do mean anything…….. Hotels, restaurants, outlet malls, plumbers, carpenters, landscapers, cars, boats, trips, jewelry and yes…even real-estate!!

What’s more, in some cases I don’t pay a damn thing! I’ll show you how I do it. And get this….. I’ve discovered a network of private groups and individuals that often disperses FREE MONEY (no gimmicks, no strings and no fine print) to people who know the right way to ask them.

I’ll show you the “right way” to ask! Everything I’m doing is completely legal. I guess you could say I’m “gaming” the system. But I’ll be honest…I love every minute of it! It’s about time somebody had a blast cheating the system and helping others in the process. If you’re like me….and I know you are or you wouldn't still be reading! You love the idea gaining an advantage over the powers that be…..

Then listen very closely….it’ll only take 4 or 5 minutes to read my letter. You’ll discover for yourself some of the techniques I've used to transform myself from a penny pinching cheap skate into a self professed millionaire miser. Welcome to the Secret World of Comps, Deep Discounts and FREE Cash I’m not stupid (at least that’s what I tell myself!). I realize my strategies, tactics and network of contacts probably sounds too good to be true. I’ve been accused of doing stuff that’s illegal or even unethical. I hear it all time.

Here’s an email I received the other day from a guy in Bloomington Minnesota: “Hey Marc….nice con job! Most of the stuff you mention in your letter sounds illegal or at the very least “unethical”. If everything you talk about is so powerful then why hasn't anybody else written about it?” L.R. I’m not sure why no one has written about this secret world of comps, deep discounts, insider tactics and free money. There’s a good chance they don’t know where to look! No Gimmicks.

No Tricks. No Fine Print! Rest assured…"
