How To Start Your Life Over From Scratch At Any Age
I’m going to explain how to start your life over – from scratch -at any age, because that’s exactly what I’m doing right now.
Actually, because there are so many variables involved, I’m not going to tell you how to start your life over so much as generally explain the 4 steps you can take to start over.
So, let’s get started.
Step 1
The first step is planning. You should have some idea where you want to end up.
This is critical.
Think of it like a plane flight. If you are flying from NY to LA, you don’t just fly in a straight line,the pilot makes little adjustments along the way so that you get to where you want.
Not planning is also an option, but your chances of ending up somewhere you don’t want increase. Just like in the plane analogy.
Me, I’m not a big planner. But, I have a basic plan.
I’m traveling around to a few places I’d like to see before I settle down. This gives me the chance to test the waters before I commit.
I also advise to do what truly makes you happy.
What is it you daydream about? Use that for guidance.
Step 2
The second step is to start gathering resources.
Gather what you need to get you where you want to end. This could be money, tools, connections or information.
In my case, I’m traveling by bike so I need biking and camping equipment, money, clothes, electronics and a few items I want for when I get there.
I’m digitally nomadding it it for a bit so the electronics are my way of making money.
So, you’ll want to consider what you need for getting there and what you need when you are there.
This is relevant if you are traveling or starting over in the same area and just want a new life.
Step 3
The third step is to terminate your current responsibilities and attachments.
It could be as simple as saying your goodbyes and cancelling your cable subscription.
It could be way more complicated also. It depends on your specific situation.
For me, it was simply getting rid of stuff and saying my goodbyes.
Step 4
The last step is the execution step.
Go and/or do it.
This is kind of a blurry step because your new life may be blurred with parts of step 2: gathering resources. Your new life could be gathering resources.
Say for instance that you want to become a nurse. Your execution step may be 4 years of schooling.
So, four years of schooling is your new life and your are still gathering resources.
You can see the blur.
This is the case for me. I’m gathering information about where I want to live. I also am open to the possibility that I’m not ready to pick a place and that my new life just might be continuous travel.
Very blurry.
Your execution steps may also blur with steps 1 and 3. Your plans may change or you may want to adjust you plans. And, you may need or not be able to end certain commitments and attachments just yet.
I do recommend eliminating what isn’t working for you. If it’s toxic or doesn’t help you, consider eliminating or at least minimizing it.
This goes for people, things and circumstances.
Anyhow, that’s the four steps I’m using to start my life over.
But, how to start your life over will likely involve these four steps to some degree.
Starting over can be really difficult but you can make it much easier with support from someone who has done it multiple times.
I wish you the best of luck and fortune and would love he opportunity to work with you.
Your Thoughts Create Your World
Science, Theology and experience all tell us that “your world reflects that which you have thought”: your thoughts create your world!
So have many of the greatest humans who ever lived.
If you are looking to improve your world, here is my elaboration on how your thoughts create your world. Hopefully, you find this interesting, insightful and helpful.
The following is from a rough draft excerpt from a book I was writing but never finished:
One of the natural laws of the universe says that you can attract only that which is vibrating at the same frequency.
Everything has its own frequency including thoughts.
Unconscious thinking vibrates at a lower frequency than conscious thinking.
Consciousness is a higher vibrational frequency. Total consciousness is the highest vibrational possibility in the universe.
When you think unconsciously, you attract lower vibrational people, circumstances and experiences.
If you start consciously thinking, you will start to attract higher vibrational people, circumstances and experiences.
Here Is How It Plays Out:
If you have a positive thought, you’ll get a positive emotion. When you have positive emotions, you’ll (more likely) take inspired action. If you take inspired action, you’ll get a joyous result and feel good. When you get joyous results, you feel good, vibrate at a higher frequency and attract higher vibrational people, circumstances and experiences. When you feel good and attract higher vibrational people, circumstances and experiences, you’ll have more positive thoughts.
If you have a negative thought, you’ll get a negative emotion. When you have a negative emotion, you’ll (more likely) take wrong or no action. If you take wrong action or do nothing, you’ll get an unwanted result and feel bad. If you feel bad because of unwanted result, you’ll vibrate at a lower frequency and you’ll attract lower vibrational people, circumstances and experiences. When you feel bad and attract lower vibrational people, circumstances and experiences, you’ll have more negative thoughts.
Simple, right?
That’s it. Sure, some subtle changes to the text would help, but…
Having the knowledge, understanding and skills to consciously control your thoughts so that you can increase your vibration and attract the people, circumstances and experiences that you truly want is no small undertaking.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not difficult but you’ll rarely find helpful guidance on your journey.
And, you will likely need and want help overcoming the inevitable hurdles and setbacks.
Plus, you want accelerated results don’t you?
So, if you want to learn how to control your thoughts so that you can attract the people, circumstances and experiences that you truly want, click the button below and…
Did You Really Invent Beer Yoga
Many are asking if I really invented Beer Yoga and the answer is “yes”.
I invented Beer Yoga, not as it’s known today, but in it’s purest form sometime before the new millennium.
I’ve been practicing Beer Yoga for over 20 years.
In fact, my nickname is Swami Dunkel Dopplebock.
Let me explain a bit.
Beer yoga, today, is known for being practiced in breweries and bars.
Here’s Wiki’s blurb:
Beer yoga is a yoga hybrid, created in America around 2013, in which participants practice yoga at breweries or taprooms, drinking beer during or after asana practice. It has since spread to other countries.
I started doing Beer Yoga somewhere around 1997, practicing it on the canal when I lived in Hampton Bays. I also practiced Margarita Yoga, Jello Shot Yoga and Weed Yoga.
However, I never mixed Yogas though.
Nah, just kidding… I did!
But, unlike today’s Beer Yoga, practicing alone and anywhere is quite acceptable.
Now if you are thinking, Bill, you are a coach, you preach health and wellness, Beer Yoga can’t be good for you.
So, my point of this whole post is to let you know the positive benefits you’ll get from taking “ANY” positive actions – no matter how small or even if done under the influence.
I’m not saying Beer Yoga is better than No Beer Yoga. (It is! : ) ) I’m saying Beer Yoga is better than No Yoga.
I’m saying one push up, one walk, one vegetable, or one whatever that is good for you is better than no whatever is good for you.
Position yourself for success and health.
Take small steps. Build on your successes. Build momentum. That’s one of the best techniques for progressing. That’s my point.
My next point is to let you know that I also invented Beer Coaching.
I suggest coaching without beer, but if that’s what it’ll take to get you started, I’ll do whatever it takes…
Simply let me know because I don’t have a beer coaching funnel set up – yet.
And please don’t schedule an 8 am appointment.
By P90X I Mean P90 Landscaping
Yeah, by P90X I mean P90 Landscaping, bitch.
It’s one of my many inventions like BBQ Bacon, reusable Q-Tips, Beer Yoga and bottles with wide openings for dispensing Ketchup.
It’s also my main summertime exercise program. It allows me to get my heart rate up, sweat out any toxins (by toxins I mean beer) and works my legs, arms and core.
You don’t need any expensive equipment, fancy clothes and there’s no expensive membership fee.
Cutting the lawn is pretty much available to anyone. If you don’t have a lawn, I’m sure a neighbor will lend you their’s.
They may even pay you!
Imagine getting paid to get in shape and healthier.
You gotta love America!
So Bill, what’s P90 Landscaping have to do with self realization or prosperity?
Great question Grasshopper.
It has to do with what I call Success Positioning.
Success Positioning is the process of putting yourself in circumstances and conditions that increase your likelihood of succeeding.
It’s the opposite of setting yourself up for failure.
Exercise is but one component of Success Positioning.
Others include, but are not limited to, sleep, environment, mental and physical diet.
For example, if you spend a lot of time in a toxic environment, you are decreasing your chances of being happy, healthy and fulfilled.
If you limit or eliminate your time spent in toxic environments, you will increase your chances of being happy, healthy and fulfilled.
Success Positioning is a technique that I always consider and leverage while coaching.
I’m writing a Master Course where I go into specific details about using Success Positioning for your benefit.
But, for now the only way to get this information is through my one-on-one personal coaching.
You can see all my coaching programs here:
https://wfcassidy.com/coaching
But…
I’d say that claiming your free coaching session is the best Success Positioning technique you could employ right now – even better than doing P90X or P90 Landscaping.
Feeling Like Something Is Missing?
Do you ever have the feeling like something is missing in your life?
I’m sure you do. Almost everybody does.
It’s a subtle, nagging feeling that you typically ignore. A feeling like something is missing, wrong or incomplete.
A feeling that maybe you have difficulty naming.
Maybe you feel like your on the wrong path, you left something behind or you are not whole.
All these feeling arise from the same issue: you have not “self realized” yet.
You do not know your “essential self” and you are a slave to your ego.
Then, you probably hate being alone in quiet where the feeling becomes more apparent.
Do you always put on the TV or Radio while alone? Ever tell yourself that you need to stay informed or you deserve the entertainment because you had a hard day?
Likely, you distract yourself so that you don’t have to be alone with yourself because this uncomfortable feeling becomes more pronounced.
Your primary purpose in life is to know and express your essential self.
But how can you if you don’t know who you truly are?
This is no way to live because you are truly wasting your life.
Every minute that you don’t know who you are, you are wasting your time and life living in futility.
If you don’t know who you are, how can you ever know your purpose or your desires?
How can you ever live the life you were truly meant to live?
You can’t!
Whatever you do will always leave you feeling incomplete, dissatisfied, unfulfilled, discontent and frustrated.
The good news is that you don’t have to waste your life living in misery and futility…
You can live a fulfilling life of health, happiness and abundance.
And, it’s not difficult.
I discuss how to know who you, as well as how to know what you want, get what you want and a few other critically important life mastery techniques, in my Greater Powered Blueprint..
But…
The fastest and easiest way to know who you are, and what you want and how to get it, is by getting personal coaching with me.
Very few people have the knowledge, skills and understanding to help you and I do.
And, soon you will be one of the rare, few people who knows who you are, what you want and how to create it.
Very Powerful!
So, stop wasting your life, eliminate the feeling like something is missing and start living the life that you were truly meant to live.
The First Step to Getting What You Want Is Not What You Think
The first step to getting what you want is Not knowing WHAT you want, like you may think.
Sure, it makes sense that If you don’t know what you want, you will never be able to get what you want. But…
There is a proceeding step that is rarely ever talked about by the so called experts. It’s rarely ever talked about because, yes they can help you get what you think you want, but they themselves have skipped this critically important first step.
The first step to getting what you want is knowing who you are.
Let me explain…
The reason this step is critically important is because that if you don’t know who you truly are, nothing you get will ever make you happy.
When you get what you “think” you want, there will always be a level of disappointment or dissatisfaction.
Your heart will never sing until you get what you “truly” want.
And the only way to get what you truly want is to know who you truly are; not who you think you are.
Who you think you are is your ego. It is the misidentification of who you are.
Who you truly are is the witness that never changes. It is your essential self. It is the source of you.
If you have no clue of your essential self, you are wasting your life in futility.
You will never have, do or experience that which truly makes you joyous.
Even if by worldly standards you are successful, you will always be experiencing an emptiness inside.
That’s part of why the rich and famous kill themselves. They seemingly have everything yet still feel unfulfilled. So, why continue?
Well, you don’t have to live an empty, hollow, disappointing, unfulfilled, worthless life.
All you have to do is know who you are.
Then, once you know who you are, you can get everything that you truly desire.
Living the life that you were truly meant to live eliminates all those negative, empty, hollow, disappointing, unfulfilled feeling and replaces them with feelings of purpose, satisfaction, fulfillment, abundance and joy.
It simply is a choice to spend some time discovering yourself or continue trying in futility to make yourself happy using worldly endeavors.
Jesus teaches us “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
I’m saying the same thing, just different words.
So, the question becomes: how to know my essential self.
Luckily, it’s the first step in both my Greater Powered Coaching Program and my Greater Powered Blueprint.
The Blueprint is free.
Both are great choices to discover exactly how to start. And, they both move on from there helping you to get everything that you truly want out of life.
My Greater Powered Coaching Program will just help you get there faster.
So, stop living an empty, hollow, disappointing, unfulfilled, worthless life. And click a link and create a life filled with purpose, satisfaction, fulfillment, abundance and joy.
Take the first step to getting what you want, truly!
3 Days To Kill w/ Kevin, Amber & Cast
3 Days to Kill is a movie starring Kevin Costner, Amber Heard, Hailee Steinfeld, Eriq Ebouaney and Connie Nielsen with a profound spiritual insight for having a so much better life.
Kevin, the protagonist plays a spy dying of cancer and trying to leave his job to reconnect with his estranged wife, Connie Nielsen, and daughter, Hailee Steinfeld, who he pushed away during his career to keep them safe.
Heard plays an elite assassin who trades Kevin a potentially life saving drug for him to kill a terrorist called the wolf who is selling dirty bombs.
It’s not a great movie but entertaining enough. And, Amber Heard and Connie Nielsen are both very nice to look at.
But that’s not what’s important…
3 Days to Kill’s Spiritual Insight
There is a family of squatters that Kevin can’t get out of his house, in France, because it’s Winter and he has no legal recourse.
Kevin let’s them stay for that and because the squatters father’s, Jules who is played by Eriq Ebouaney, daughter is having a baby.
Jules promises to leave when the baby is born. But when that happens, Kevin tries to convince them to stay.
What is important is what the father says then. He says “Everything is as it should be”.
That’s an extremely profound statement that most people never realize.
In today’s political climate, a good portion of people are dissatisfied about who is in charge.
In today’s media climate, the media gives those who are dissatisfied a bigger voice.
The voices may change in the next election cycle, but dissatisfied voices will still have the megaphone.
All of those dissatisfied voices and many more fail to understand that we have collectively created whatever mess we are complaining about and that everything is as it should be.
It is as it should be partly because there is a lesson for us to learn. And if we don’t learn it, the circumstances will present themselves again; often with more painful consequences.
Stop Fighting
On an individual level, you are unsuccessfully fighting what is.
You can’t fight what is. It is. You can accept what is and you’ll feel better. Then, you can start creating instead of fighting.
You are just wasting your time and energy fighting.
Stop fighting and start creating.
Here’s a basic analogy, not accepting what is is like swimming against a current. You will never move very far forward.
When you accept what is and start creating, you are in effect using the current to help you get where you want to go.
The problem is that very few people actually have these skills and understanding.
I do and this is what my coaching programs are about.
I help people see the currents, remove their blockages and start using the current to eliminate what they don’t want in their life and create what they do want.
It’s really not difficult when you know how.
So, why don’t we start working together to help you have a so much better life?
Do you want to struggle in futility? Simple apply for a free personal coaching session and I’ll help you start with no obligations.
We simply chat and if you want, we can chat some more.
The Three Intentful Corrections
I’ve been doing the Qi Gong and the Three Intentful Corrections for a couple of decades now.
I swear by the benefits.
If you are unfamiliar, Qi Gong is a mind-body, healing, exercise, meditation practice. It’s like Yoga but different and the three Intentful Corrections are a foundational component of Qi Gong.
You may be more familiar with Tia Chi. Tia Chi is a derivative of Qi Gong.
Anyhow, the Three Intentful Corrections is said to distill the healing elixir within and promises healing on every level of our being.
“Minding the body and the breath, and then clearing the mind, distills the elixir within.” – Chinese Teacher
Basically, you will be consciously using you mind, body and breath to create balance and harmony in your mind, body and life.
As I said, I’ve been doing Qi Gong and the three intentful Corrections for probably 20 years or so and I rarely get sick.
I can’t even remember the last time I was sick. Sure, I get sniffles from time to time but never anything that would have me miss a day of work.
Can I say it’s all do to Qi Gong and the Three Intentful correction?
No, but…
I certainly believe it helps.
I would also add that meditation has been scientifically shown to have health and healing benefits. IMHO, meditation is like magnified sleep. It returns your body to homeostasis. Only meditation works better, faster and has numerous other benefits.
And, Qi Gong is a meditation.

How to Do the Three Intentful Corrections
I learned about them from reading Roger Janke’s book The Healing Promise of Qi. There were many beneficial teachings in the book but this was my big take…
The three Intentful Corrections is basically 3 simple steps in my words.
- Adjust your body and spine
- Deepen your breath
- Clear your mind
Simple right?
Just do them as often as possible. Do them as many times a day as you can.
Here’s a video I just found on YouTube of Roger explaining what to do that I highly recommend watching.
The Three Intentful Corrections are one of many techniques I’ve learned and practiced over the years that I can use to help you improve any and every facet of your life.
If you’d like to minimize and/or eliminate the stress, struggle and suffering from your life, so that you can create and enjoy health, happiness, fulfillment and abundance, then check out my Accelerated Lifestyle Transformation Coaching Program and contact me ASAP.
The Most Powerful Book I Ever Read
Before I tell you what the most powerful book I ever read was, I want to recap how we got here.
First, I mentioned great spiritual books that didn’t make my top 3 including The Celestine Prophecy, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, The Dancing Wu Li Masters, Be Here Now, The Seven Laws of Spiritual Success, The Four Agreements, The Seat of the Soul .
There were many more that I didn’t include (and for the purposes of this posts series I’ve discluded religious books like The Bible and the Tao Te Ching – I will be posting about them soon).
Then, I shared my third most powerful book I ever read and my second most powerful book I ever read. Namely The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolley and The Pathwork of Self-Transformation by Eva Pierrakos respectively.
The Most Powerful Book
So, the most powerful book I ever read is Osho’s The Book of Secrets.
No doubt!
Osho, also known as Rajneesh, Acharya Rajneesh and Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh is a controversial figure who called himself the “spiritually incorrect mystic”.
But, don’t let that influence you negatively.
I frequently advise people not to trust me but to listen, evaluate and decide for yourself. Let me earn your trust by repetitively helping you. When I have earned your trust, continue listening, evaluating and deciding for yourself.
The basis for that is also much of the basis of what Osho talks about in The Book of Secrets.
The Book of Secrets is Osho’s interpretation of the 112 meditations described in the Bhagavad Gita. The Bhagavad Gita is a Hindu scripture from around the second century BCE.
It took me about 4 years to complete the book. By “complete the book” I mean, play with all 112 meditations.
I say “play” because, that’s what I did. It’s always been a core philosophy of mine and it’s also what Osho recommends.
This is a serious book that can only be leveraged through playful implementation.
Have you ever heard that said about a book before?
Regardless, “playful implementation” is an important clue to successfully using this book.
You must be playful and you must do the work or you will get less benefit.
This Book Is Not for Everyone
But, If you are serious about your meditation practice, then this is the one book you should buy:
Get Osho’s The Book of Secrets now
If you are just beginning your meditation practice, I recommend an easier Osho book like Pharmacy for the Soul.
Or, in a similar fashion to how I found Osho, you could just go to Amazon and get one of his books that just seems to “speak to you”.
Anyhow, I highly recommend introducing yourself to the subtle wisdom of the most powerful book I ever read as you will, if you playfully implement the discourse, likely enjoy a powerful transformation.
The Second Most Powerful Book I Ever Read
Before I tell you about the second most powerful book i ever read, let me restate the third most powerful book: It was The Power of Now by Ekhart Tolley.
I also mentioned a few other helpful spiritual books. You can click the previous link to see more details.
Now that you are all caught up, my second most powerful book I ever read is The Pathwork of Self-Transformation by Eva Pierrakos.
It is a very practical book for getting to know your mind and fixing what isn’t working in your life.
It explains with great insight and detail the workings of your mind. And if you use it correctly you can seriously make your life easier and better.
It’s one of those books that, depending on where you are in your spiritual journey, may be even more helpful the second or third time you read it.
However, when you invest your money and buy the book, spend your time to read it and then implement it’s teachings, you won’t be disappointed as your returns will be exponentially beneficial to you.
Although I don’t suggest everyone read the number one, most powerful book I ever read, I do say that everyone should read The Pathwork of Self-Transformation; and The Power of Now.
Both of these books will help you live a better, happy, healthy and more peaceful life.
But, for a certain few, I recommend the most powerful book I ever read.
The Third Most Powerful Book I Ever Read
I’d have to say that the third most powerful book I ever read is Eckhart Tolley’s The Power of Now.
I read it, probably, almost 20 years ago now.
After embarking on a spiritual journey of books that included The Celestine Prophecy, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, The Dancing Wu Li Masters, Be Here Now, The Seven Laws of Spiritual Success, The Four Agreements, The Seat of the Soul and many more, I came across The Power of Now.
To my disbelief, I realized that it came as depicted in The Celestine Prophecy; exactly at the right time. And, everything just seemed to fall into place; all the books I read and the the ones I would soon be reading – and implementing.
I’ve never looked back.
I did give copies away to people I thought may appreciate it.
But usually when you give someone the keys to better living, they almost never immediately use them.
By the way, for the purposes of this and the following posts I’m discluding religious books like The Bible and Tao Te Ching.
The Powerful Effect
The Power of Now had a big, powerful effect on me.
It enabled me to get out of my own way and become the ultimate creator of my life.
I still had much to learn but life became increasingly easier and easier. I was no longer swimming upstream against the invisible current of my self sabotage.
Getting out of my own way became obvious and I began learning how to master how I felt. When I didn’t feel good, I not only knew why, but how to fix it.
As I said, The Power of Now is the second most powerful book I ever read.
Reading it – and practicing that which I learned – was a huge step in my growth as a human being.
It gave me some tools I didn’t have to make my life exponentially easier and better.
But, not nearly as many as the most powerful book I ever read.
If you’d like to make huge steps in your growth and personal development, I suggest reading The Power of Now and The Most Powerful Book I Ever Read.
If you want huge steps in your growth and personal development FAST, I suggest checking out my ALT Coaching Program.

The Left vs. Right Conundrum
We all have been victims of the left vs. right conundrum.
We see it on the news and on our social media sites.
So, I’ve decided to give you a quick insight to immunize yourself from this mental disability.
Being left or right simply means that you identify with a certain belief system.
Mentally healthy people are open minded and understand that they are so much more than their belief system.
I’d like to share an analogy that helps illuminate the futility of identifying with and ideology.
Here goes…
If you identify with the left, that means that most of your decisions will have you going left. If you identify with the right, that means that most of your decisions will have you going right.
No matter which side you are on you will make a circle and end up in the same spot and the more extreme you are, the smaller your circle will be.
I’m not saying never go left or right, I’m saying that if you identify with left or right, you will end up mostly going in that direction. And, if you do, you will make a circle and eventually end up where you started.
Stop identifying and make conscious choices and you’ll always be in a healthier-for-you spot.
Continually covering the same ground is a form of insanity and an indicator that you are not growing as a human being. You are making circles, but you are stuck.
If you were growing, you wouldn’t identify with left or right, you’d be moving forward.
If you want to move forward – and FAST, check out my Accelerated Lifestyle Transformatin Coaching Program. It’s the fastest way to get the life you truly want.
Improve Your Wishing
When you wish for something, you are unknowingly reinforcing not having what you want.
You are reinforcing the “lack” and increasing the likelihood of not attracting it into your life..
Instead of wishing for something, envision yourself already having that which you want.
See yourself enjoying it.
Use all of your senses and make it as real as possible. Feel the gratitude, especially.
When you are finished, ask for this or something better to unfold.
What you want will come to you much easier and faster.
If you are tired of not having the things and life you want, read my Greater Powered Blueprint, It’s a short, free report that explains how to get your dream life.
If you want the life you were always meant to live the fastest and easiest way possible, then my coaching program is what will help you the most.
Simply Surrender; Forget the Object
“Surrender” is a severely misunderstood word and action.
And interestingly enough, surrender is used most frequently with the objects “Jesus” and “police”.
One a “good” thing; the other, usually not…
But, most importantly, if you understand that surrendering doesn’t require an object, you have a tool in your mental arsenal that most don’t and won’t.
No offense to anyone, but the reason surrendering to Jesus is so effective, is less about Jesus and more about the surrendering.
Specifically, the “what” you are surrendering?
That’s the big clue!
For more big clues, check out my Greater Powered Blueprint or my coaching program.
Creating the Life You Expected You’d Have
The Most Important Thing I Ever Learned
The most important thing that I ever learned in my life is…
First let me narrow it down by saying that It is something I learned from over 20 years of meditation, probably thousands of hours of studying scholars, philosophers, history and religious leaders plus thousands of hours experimenting on myself.
I am consciousness.
It is the answer, solution and cure to everything, period.
It is the the ultimate reason, direction, destination and journey
You are consciousness, we are consciousness.
Knowing who you are is the keystone for knowing what you want, mastering your mind and consciously creating your dreams; fulfilling your purpose.
Also, the people who are living their best lives are conscious, the people suffering the most are the least conscious.
Your next question should be: ok, how to be conscious?

Dance Like Nobody’s Watching Quote and Story
You may know the dance like nobody’s watching quote, but today I have a dance like nobody’s watching story.
Here’s is what happens when you dance like nobody’s watching…
Dance Like Nobody’s Watching Story
It’s best to imagine it as you read this.
I’m sitting upstairs doing a bit of writing on my laptop.
I hear loud music begin playing outside.
At first I try to just ignore it but I start wondering who is playing music this loud out front?
So, out of the window and I see a Fedex or Amazon truck, not sure, and a young girl delivering a package.
The driver’s side door is wide open into the street and the music, dance music, is blasting.
The home she was delivering the package to has a clear and all glass front door.
Just inside the door, their dog, a sort of Boxer-Pit Bill mix.
Then the young girl delivered the package and started dancing for the dog who sat there with a dumb, confused look on his face.
“What are you doing, woof?”
The music was full throttle and so was she. I mean, she was really shaking it – dancing like nobody’s watching.
Steadily watching her, the dog sat there entertained in doggie disbelief.
Suddenly the dog’s owner came to the door and startled the unexpectant, dancing delivery driver.
She turned and ran back to her truck.
Laughing at the whole event, I thought that’s the way to do it.
Dance Like Nobody’s Watching Quote
The whole dance like nobody’s watching quote is attributed to songwriters Susanna Clark and Richard Leigh for the song “Come from the Heart” and goes like this:
You’ve got to sing like you don’t need the money
Love like you’ll never get hurt
You’ve got to dance like nobody’s watchin’
It’s gotta come from the heart if you want it to work.
Controversy surrounds the quote as others have subsequently changed, added and inverted some lines, then used and credited as the originator. Read this to learn more.
Regardless, the point is that dancing like nobody’s watching makes you feel amazingly in tune with your essential self.
Most, rarely if ever, get to experience their essential self. Even if only for a brief moment.
Most people spend their entire life never knowing their essential, true, higher self.
If you don’t KNOW your essential self and you’d like to experience confidence, ease and fulfillment it brings, then go download my free report that explains everything you need to know to self realize.
I call it Greater Powered: The Blueprint for Manifesting Your Unimaginable Dream Life.

How to Achieve Your Goals in 2020 with Minimal Effort
Every year about this time there is a shit ton of conflicting information being published about how to achieve your goals.
There are articles and videos telling you the benefits of goal setting and a plethora of data expressing why it’s not the most effective use of you time.
So, I’m going to briefly discuss goal setting then share two points of note to help you decide the best use of your time and energy for 2020.
Know What You Want
First, you are always told your goals must be clearly defined, actionable, realistic and measurable. True enough.
It is absolutely critical to creating the life that you want that you know what you want.
If I asked a hundred people off the street what it is that they want in life, only a small percentage would be able to immediately answer.
And, you not only need to know, but you need to be able to visualize it happening. More on this later…
So, I’m not against goal setting, but I prefer the phrase know what you want. It sounds like less work and more fun.
If you like fun, then I recommend reading The Secret to Happiness.
Also, knowing what you want implies a connection to your essential self and your intrinsic desires. Knowing what you want implies that you know what makes your heart sing. Otherwise, if you achieve your goal, it won’t bring you joy.
I’d also like to highlight the importance of visualization. If what you visualize makes you feel “good”, then it’s likely a worthy goal.
So, my point is that you mustn’t just set goals but you must know – truly – what it is that you want.
Change Your Mind
Not changing your mind is what dooms goal setting to failure.
If you think and believe that which you always have, you’ll only act a certain way for a brief time before falling back into the same patterns and ultimately getting the same results.
It’s critically important to achieving success to find the thoughts and beliefs that are preventing you from achieving your goals, eliminate and replace them with thoughts and beliefs that will help you achieve your goals.
If you change your mind correctly, you can not only achieve your goals but accelerate your achievements.
Specifically, I’m talking about programming you subconscious beliefs for success.
How to Achieve Your Goals Faster and with Minimal Effort
Explaining how to change your thoughts and beliefs and reprogram your subconscious beliefs will accelerate your results but it is beyond the scope of this post…
Plus, I’ve already written how to do all that and more including how to know what you want, how to improve your focus and how to consciously create any reality you choose.
And it’s free!
It’s called Greater Powered: The Blueprint for Manifesting Your Unimaginable Dream Life.
Click the link above and download it now, then you’ll have everything you need.
Basically, it walks you through how to know who you truly are, know what you truly want, how to master your mind and how to consciously create your best, happy, healthy, abundant dream life.
Implementing this blueprint will get you what you want the fastest and easiest way possible.
So, download the blueprint, read it and start putting it to use for a great 2020. And that’s is how to achieve your goals in 2020 w/ minimal effort.
Emotional Intelligence and FREE Beer
The other day I wrote about emotional intelligence in my Santa Miracle story but didn’t call it that. I basically explained it as finding the positive in what appears to be a bad situation.
Emotional Intelligence
Today I’m writing about emotional intelligence and free beer.
I attended the Government Mule concert the other night in Philly and had an incident.
The usher had put us in the wrong seats. I was sitting a row in front of my sister and her husband. My sister complained that the row behind her, which was separated by a 2″ x 6″ ledge was a disaster waiting to happen. Food spillage was her concern.
When we got the seats straightened out, I sat in front of the food spillage disaster ledge and her and her husband were sitting in front of me.
The concert started. Government Mule’s headlining band was really good and we were all enjoying ourselves.
Then I reached back and felt my chair and butt which turned out to be covered with ketchup smothered sliders.
I turned to the people behind me who placed their leftovers on the precarious and lipless ledge and said “really”.
How mad could I be? My sister predicted it and the ledge was definitely a design fail.
I showed the girl who was paying attention to me my chair and told her my sister predicted this.
My sister, by the way, laughed hysterically the whole time.
The girl was really kind – very pretty – and apologetic. She remarked about how well I was handling the fact I was wearing someone’s dinner.
I told her that anger wouldn’t unspill it and we cleaned up the mess. She wiped the chair and I wiped my butt. Someone got me a new chair.
Benefits of Emotional Intelligence
My luck immediately turned for the better as the chair was a stool and I could see better; the next song was Shakedown Street, which is one of my favorites; I talked with the pretty girl and her friends who were really nice and no more food was spilled on me the rest of the night.
And best yet, the pretty girl bought me a beer!
Therefore, having some emotional intelligence saved me from having a miserable night and hurting myself by self destructively pointing anger at others and got me some free beer.
How to Get Emotional Intelligence
My Greater Powered System doesn’t specifically talk about emotional intelligence, but that is the result of mastering it. If you are tired of being your own worst enemy, then may I suggest downloading my free Blueprint.
I discuss this system in easy to follow steps that anyone can use to overcome ineffective and self destructive mindsets to create a better life.
If you want fast results, then may I suggest one of my accelerated coaching programs. You can start by clicking the next link and claiming your FREE Mind Hack.
So, let me acknowledge that by taking action RIGHT NOW, you are in fact, leveraging an amazing act of emotional intelligence.
Benefits of Meditation That Gurus Never Share
You probably already know the more common benefits of meditation like increased performance and focus; better sleep and more energy; reduced stress, depression and anxiety; improved emotional health and a myriad of additional and health benefits.
But, they are not necessarily the best benefits of meditation. Sure, they are if you are suffering from any one of them.
However, I have 3 other benefits of meditation that are rarely, if ever, shared and they way more beneficial and important to living a healthy, easy, fulfilling life.
Or, at least, better to know and be aware of; especially if you are younger.
That said, it’s never too late to benefit from these hidden benefits of meditation…
Hidden Benefits of Meditation
Opportunity to Self Realize
When you meditate, you become more conscious and begin to dis-identify with your ego.
As you become conscious, you realize your essential, eternal and “true” self (sometimes called your higher self) then begin feeling whole, complete, at ease, confident and in control.
Feeling incomplete, conflicted, like something is missing, broken or just not right is caused by not knowing your essential self.
Meditation is the best way to reveal your true self and self realize.
Ability Master Your Mind
When you become conscious you gain the ability to master your mind and end stress, struggle and suffering. That’s the second major benefit of meditation.
What causes all the stress, struggle and suffering in your life is your un-mastered mind. And, you cannot master your mind without being conscious.
So, meditation is the best way to be conscious and master your mind.
Ability to Consciously Create Your Reality
As you become conscious and master your mind, you gain the the third major benefit of meditation: the ability to consciously create any reality you wish.
Therefore, unwanted people, circumstances and experiences are a result of not consciously creating your reality. Life will seem beyond your control and negative things will happen to you. You are a victim of life, but more accurately, a victim of not consciously creating.
When you master your mind, you control what you think, believe, feel, create and attract.
When you consciously create, your needs and wants are quickly and effortlessly fulfilled.
Meditation is the best way to increase consciousness and create your best life.

Meditation: The Last of the 4 Steps of Thinking
Meditation, the last and fourth step of the 4 steps of thinking.
Hopefully, you have read the previous posts on freestyle, contemplation and concentration. If you have, you know we talked a lot about space, movement, boundaries, consciousness and energy.
These important clues will probably make more sense as we talk about meditation and other metaphysical subtleties.
Now, we are into where the magic really happens.
Meditation is like the conscious off button for your mind.
Meditation is conscious non thinking.
If you stopped thinking but were NOT conscious, you’d be unconscious, dead or hypnotized.
It is extremely import to recognize the importance of being conscious. Seriously, I just wrote that.
BTW, hypnosis has its uses, but consciousness is where it’s at.
Actually, and it took me years to figure this out, but, consciousness is the answer, solution, cure and XXXX to everything.
Don’t believe me? Try contemplating it until you are able to disprove it. : )
Anyhow, before I move on, I’d like to mention another extremely notable point about meditation. And that is that increases your energy, it restores your body and mind and opens you up to accessing the infinite power and intelligence of the universe.
Right! It’s really powerful stuff.
If you like to learn more about accessing the infinite power and intelligence of the universe, get my FREE Report Greater Powered: The Blueprint for Manifesting Your Unimaginable Dream Life.
In the next post, I’ll expand on the 4 steps of thinking when I share the benefits of meditation that gurus never share.
Concentration: The 3rd Step of the 4 Steps of Thinking
The third step of the four steps of thinking is concentration.
Have you ever been yelled at by a parent or other authority figure to “concentrate”?
Has anyone ever taught you how to concentrate or about concentration?
Actually, that’s pretty typical.
You’d think someone would have made sure we knew and understand what it is and how to do it before yelling at us.
So, let me clue you to some details about concentration that you were never taught.
And, BTW, the reason I’m pointing out what may seem a bit obvious here is because it becomes critical to understand some of the more subtle points when and if you want to master your mind.
Concentration is when you consciously focus to a single point.
Your thoughts aren’t allowed to move beyond or off of that point. It isn’t thinking or contemplation.
Concentration takes increased consciousness and wastes less energy than freestyle thinking and contemplation.
I’m sure, hopefully, you’ve attempted concentration before?
So, let me quickly summarize the first 3 steps of thinking. Freestyle thinking, as I call it, is unbound, arbitrary, lacks focus and conscious control and wastes energy. Contemplation is consciously focused and constrained by boundaries and wastes less energy than freestyle thinking. Concentration is thought consciously focused to a single point and wastes less energy than freestyle thinking and contemplation. They all, so far, require movement and time.
That leads to the final step of thinking which is actually not thinking. But, I’ll get in to that soon enough…
Getting my FREE Report Report Greater Powered: The Blueprint for Manifesting Your Unimaginable Dream Life is an amazing idea if you want to read more about thinking, meditation and more.
In the next post, I’ll discuss the last step of the 4 steps of thinking : meditation
