Are You Good As Dead?

In Israel there are two big bodies of water and they both have a lot of similarities.
They are the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea.
Both of them are fed by the Jordan River and both of them are hundreds of feet
below sea level.
But there is one really big difference though... the Sea of Galilee is teaming with life and the Dead Sea is… dead...
What is this one difference between them that makes one so alive and the other so dead?
What is the critical difference between a person who is alive with Passion and one who is indifferent and bitter?
The Dead Sea have no outlets and everything is held within. Nothing lives in the Dead Sea because nothing leaves the Dead Sea. It just stagnates. Everything stagnates without movement, flow, change...
Are you like the Sea of Galilee or are you more like the Dead Sea?
Are you alive with Passion or are you indifferent and bitter? Everything stagnates without movement, flow, change, growth, giving... Everything including YOU.
If you choose to live without passion and instead behave with indifference and bitterness, you are as good as dead...
Be like the Sea of Galilee! Share Your SPARKS! Express your Authentic Potential!
Allow your gifts to flow through and become gifts to others! Give of your Self and be a gift to someone! Be, Do & Give your Best! Always! Be 100% Alive! Being half-alive is the same as being half-dead... ...
...also remember to let your pain, sorrows and disappointments flow out of you positively... let go of them... release them... stop holding on to your memories of whatever have past. Forgive and be Forgiven. Let the Force of Life flow through you!
When you take the journey within to know yourself, recognise your SPARKS and Express your Authentic Potential, your life will be bursting with passion, joy and fulfillment.
From this moment on you have a choice... you can choose to STOP being bitter about life! And when you choose to STOP being bitter, all your pain, sorrows and disappointments can flow outward positively, creatively and productively. From this moment on you can transmute them into sources of Love, Light & Laughter that can touch and inspire many...
"To see with one's own eyes, to feel and judge without succumbing to the suggestive power of the fashion of the day, to be able to express what one has seen and felt in a trim sentence or even in a cunningly wrought word - is that not glorious? It is not a proper subject for congratulation?" ~ Albert Einstein
I believe that the greatest tragedy in life is when Eagles doubt their ability to fly and instead choose to live and die as chickens. I say 'they choose' because they chose to agree and believe in their circumstances and the opinions of others instead of thinking and acting from their Authentic Potential, discovering and learning for themselves, what they are truely capable of. They have faith in everything and everyone but their own Self.
This is the greatest tragedy because so many... too many, live and die without ever realising and developing their full potential into powers. They did not believe in... and they did not ignite and share their SPARKS! They did not arouse their passion and put it into action to live their life with purpose!
This greatest tragedy in life is what keeps me awake every night and it is what wakes me up every morning. This greatest tragedy in life is what inspired my Purpose and Vision.
Is it NOT acceptable to doubt yourself! It is acceptable to let someone else decide your destiny! It's your life and it's all you've got. Do NOT waste it by not Asking, Being, Doing & Giving your Best! Every moment of your life is an opportunity to Express your Authentic Potential, Be Your Best and Live the Life You Were Born to Live!
Be like Muhammad Ali, who shouted "I am the greatest!"
Be like Muhammad Ali, who shouted "I am the greatest!", even before he knew he was...
Be like Muhammad Ali, who shouted "I am the greatest!", even before he knew he was... because he CHOSE to BELIEVE in his GREATNESS, in his GENIUS, in his SPARKS!
Be like Muhammad Ali, who shouted "I am the greatest!", even before he knew he was... because YOU are The GREATEST!
Be like Muhammad Ali, who shouted "I am the greatest!", even before he knew he was... because YOU are The GREATEST!, and it is your right to be uncommon, if you can...
YOU CAN!
If you want...
needing is no longer enough...
Are you willing?
Will you work?
For what you can!
For who you are!
Be Your Best!
You Are the Greatest!

What are you waiting for?
"You will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it." ~ Charles Buxton
The truth is this...
it is not time that you're wasting...
it has never been...
it's your precious life...
“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away” ~ George Carlin
Your Lifetime is not measured by seconds, but by beats... your heart beats... irreversible and irreplaceable.
"Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it." ~ M. Scott Peck
Life is not a dress rehearsal... how are you choosing to Express it? How much are you Enjoying it?
"The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run." ~ Henry David Thoreau
What are you exchanging your life for?
“You don’t get to choose how you’re going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you’re going to live - now.” ~ Joan Baez
It's going to take lots of will power to make it happen... but it's worth it... because it makes life worth living...
"Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them." ~ Paul Gauguin
How are you living your life now? Is your life worth living?
"These, then, are my last words to you: Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact. The 'scientific proof' that you are right may not be clear before the day of judgment (or some stage of being which that expression may serve to symbolize) is reached. But the faithful fighters of the hour, or the beings that then and there will represent them, may then turn to the faint-hearted, who here decline to go on, with words like those with which Henry IV greeted the tardy Crillon after a great battle had been gained: 'Hang yourself, brave Crillon! We fought at Arques, and you were not there." ~ William James

Yes, dear Alex, this is “The Secret,” isn’t it? And the amazing thing is, it is a secret as old as humanity, as old as the universe. Yet we need to awaken to it, and it seems it is more and more critical to do so. Our responsibility begins with ourselves; I love how you have framed these thoughts in words. Excellent.
A wonderful New Year, with happiness in all forms beyond measure, to you and yours.
