You have some very cool, high-value content coming your way, and it’s not specifically on SpiritSentient. It’s not even our upcoming new site, Ryze. It`s a bunch of guest-posts and collaborations I`m doing on some other fantastic people`s websites. In the past you may have seen my posts on Nathan Hangen`s or Emilie Wapnick`s, but I have some really eye-opening stuff scheduled to drop on Danny Iny`s site, FirePoleMarketing.com and Liz Leia`s GettingInsideAWoman.com, and I`d like to take a moment to introduce you to them.
Danny is an absolutely amazing guy, who’s got quite an impressive story. He took the bold step of quiting school at age 15, to pursue entrepreneurship (Richard Branson, anyone?) He wanted to make the world a better place, so he started up a company. He spent every penny he had to get an investor on board, and when he finally did that, the markets crashed and he lost it all. He’s come a long way since then, and now teaches and trains with his definitive marketing training for small-businesseses and ‘non-marketers’
Liz is in a different world altogether, and spent her early years under the wing of one of my favourite inspirational speakers, Sean Stephenson. She worked with him on Inner Game Magazine, and helps guys get inside women’s hearts, minds, and p****, and she does it with integrity and style. My favourite part of her site are the comments on her articles. She often shares very, very helpful wisdom about dating, relationships, and women, and the responses shed even more light on things. One of my favourite articles was when she talked about "Getting Your Girlfriend To Lose Weight." – Wow. My post on Danny’s site is called: "8 Failed Businesses In 6 Years" – it’s a vulnerable story and full of powerful lessons.
Anyway, I’m honored to be posting on these sites, for these awesome people, and I highly recommend you check them out. I’ve been posting on SpiritSentient for over 7 years, and it has always been me sharing my creations with the world. People are taking notice more and more, the message is spreading, and it is powerful. It feels like I’ve arrived. I’ve been in incredibly high-demand for guest posts lately, and be on the lookout for more, I’m on it
My post on Liz`s site is called: "For The Love Of God, Be Sexy!" and is a controversial call-out to women

Read MoreI always aim to express the real me. I aim to be all those cliches: true to myself, the real me, give my heart… all of it. I do this with good reason, it is the key to success, which I’m all about. On that note, here is a message I wrote (and made pretty) to everyone who expected the best from me, but weren’t ready or even aiming to offer the same in return. I understand. I caused it, I created it, and I’m cool with it. Thank you for making me stronger. I don’t even know if they read SpiritSentient, but they’re out there. You know who you are.

Read MoreThere are all kinds of exercises that help you find your life purpose.Tribal leaders have been helping the next generation with it for ages. In our current fast-moving society, we still have leaders helping us with this, and now I’m throwing my hat into the ring.
My method is inspired by a combination of valuable exercises by these guys: Jonathan Mead, Mark Silver, Tad Hargrave and Steve Pavlina. They’re brilliant and each focus on their own specific styles.
Read MoreI love beautiful things. And beautiful people.
But more than both the above, I like making it beautiful.
I do this at restaurants. When I go to a Subway restaurant, I always see the same old thing, it doesn’t matter how much they change the menu, or give you the option to heat up the bun, a sub is just a sub.
At the same time, it isn’t.
I like asking the person behind the counter, so what’s your favorite sub? (dude answers)
And I’ll respond: that sounds awesome, I’ll actually have that today (guy gives me extra everything, and throws in a free bag of chips if hes the boss).
Wherever I go, wherever I am, I intend for everybody to remember the most important rule:
is it… being socially acceptable?
is it… doing what’s “right”?
No! It’s to have FUN!!!!
And I have a good time doing it, I make it happen, everybody goes away with an impression of the awesome experience they had.
It’s just something that I do. What’s beautiful is what’s fun. Are you being beautiful today?
This advice that came to me as a child, (the person whom I will never forget, yet I can never remember her name) has never let me down.
In your life there are so many opportunities to meet with so many different kinds of people. Why would you choose to go to one opportunity when there is another?
Life is a one in a million opportunity, and if you aren’t making the most out of what’s in front of you, NOW, then you might as well just be on drugs or drunk.
To take what you’ve been given in life, and appreciating the heck out of it, is, pretend there is italics, “recommended”.
Your computer, when you are passionate with what you are doing, becomes a transmission of light from your hands and eyes towards some higher sharing.
But when you aren’t in the flow, and you just look at it like an object, without any passion for yourself, it just becomes dead weight. Less than that really, and so you get the people who incessantly play facebook games, pointless conversations on MSN and meaningless twitter posts.
Can you imagine, over the course of a mere 1 week, how much more you would accomplish if you were passionate the whole time? 1 month? 1 year? 10 years? I believe between you and I, we could change the world together.
So how do you get passion when you don’t have it? Go to where the passion is. Someone has it, and it may be in a workshop, a private lesson, a friend, a lover, a book, a show, whatever! Immerse yourself with all kinds of people and all kinds of things that is just pouring out with it.
It’s the only way to go.
If you don’t have passion in your life, then I don’t even want to talk to you. Don’t be that guy
It’s winter season in Toronto, and as the temperature lowers we appreciators-of-the-snow have moved around in the cold city air, and it seems more than one of us have caught the fun bug — commonly called the cold.
Myself included. But not for long, I know as much
But while it’s here, with it’s pleasant symptoms comes a little bit of sneezing, at times a runny nose, and sometimes even some uninvited advice from family and friends about how to cure it.
How people treat their cold is like how they treat their finances, or relationships. When something like a cold happens, is it… a problem, a challenge, or something to simply appreciate?
I heal myself from injuries and sickness faster than anyone I know. I also maintain and improve a robust body, flexibility, strength and co-ordination rather easily. I’m not saying this to brag, but to shed some light on how anyone can do it, if they were simply to choose certain thoughts.
I had decided, somewhere along the way, to appreciate every sniffle and cough that comes from this delightful temporary preference of the body to operate. No cough is the same, some are used to refocus yourself on actions that don’t require a lot of talking (guess why the author is writing a blog post right now?)
Every sniffle is an opportunity to indulge in quality drinks and foodstuffs that you’ve forgotten about lying around the house, like those aloe vera juice bottles you’ve gotten as a gift and a reminder to cook a truly awesome vegetable soup with all those groceries you’ve somehow forgotten to cook.
Be an appreciator of every detail of life. Even if you can’t appreciate every hiccup and slip-up that life seems to give you, because you can’t see the beautiful magnificence of life’s logic yet, you can still reach and appreciate the contrast. It’s the time away from the ones you love that make you realize how much better it is with them. It’s the arguments that help give you that little encouraging push to speak in more tasteful ways. It’s the mistakes of how you live your life that help you decide what you really want to act upon. And things are never as they seem. There’s always something more going on, and it unfolds around us poetically when we don’t force it.
Just don’t make the same mistakes twice. Start appreciating now. Life is friendly and forgiving to those who trust and are patient with themselves.
