Facing your fears is the key to happiness. If you have any hopes of becoming inspired in this lifetime, you need to learn to face your fears.
The reason I’m writing about fears is because I’m at the point in my life where I need to face yet another one - and just like the others I’ve faced before, it’s extremely hard to do.
Truth be told, facing a fear can be scary as hell - but it can also be made a heaven; it’s all in the state of mind and how you choose to frame it.
Throughout the years, I’ve come to learn that something as unpleasant as facing something you fear is entirely too easy to keep sidestepping and denying into one’s thought’s – it’s too easy to swoosh way.
I’ve found at times it takes some serious pushing, forced focusing and downright self-advertising to finally get one to face such a fearful thing as, “fear”. I think that’s why it’s such a rare occurrence.
If the goal is to write a book, why haven’t you seen much of my work? I’m certain that the answer lies in fear.
I believe it has something to do with my past…and perhaps the future; either way, it’s become obvious something is amiss for I’ve been sitting on these unique thoughts, beliefs and philosophies for so very long now that there must be some underlying reason that this task remains incomplete.
The reasons I fear writing my story are many but mainly because of the hard feelings it will cause because the truth is not always ideal. The inevitable awkwardness, strains on relationships and the embarrassment of self and others is certainly a reason to not face the music.
No doubt, real truth can be some real “heavy stuff".
Certainly I don’t think people who treat others poorly should be harbored or protected - especially by the very people they’ve wronged the most, but writing real things about real people that causes real anxiety is still the right thing to do – especially if hoping to inspire change.
The reason I fear not finishing the Book is because if that happens, at least in my eyes, I will have failed.
I’ve put everything I have in this experience - the learning and training. I’ve put all my time, my efforts and my heart into this endeavor; if I fail to complete my work, then I will fail myself which simply cannot happen.
In addition, my four children know I’m writing this book so they need to see a finished product as they are the original reason for writing the book in the first place.
Plus, it’s got so much potential to do the mass of people an unprecedented amount of good, so it would be a shame not to get this information out to the people.
To go through life unappreciated for who you are - and what you have to offer is not the way to go and is perhaps the saddest way to leave this world.
If I would die today, my last note in the symphony of life would not be as high as it should - and my soul would forever be out of tune with the Universe due to this lack of harmony and the omni-presence of the unrealized talent.
Your talents are God's gift to you - and what you do with those talents is your gift to God.
Who wants to short-change God?
This combination of talent unrealized and unappreciation of self and by others is the precise ingredients of “regret” – and with regret my friend, is no way to spend eternity.
Better get writing.
Peace out,
~The Guru

The Value of Health
The health of your body and mind is where it all begins. The health of your body and mind will dictate your destiny.
Health is your first and last concern and you need to care for it as your life depended on it - because it does.
Good health is absolutely the most valuable thing you own, or will ever own. And with each day, it becomes more precious, ergo more valuable.
If you’re not sure, just wait - heaven forbid - until you lose your health and suffer some degree of pain or discomfort.
If you ever get really sick, ask yourself what you "would" or "wouldn't" sacrifice to have your health back.
Truth be told, there are very few things, if any - that you "wouldn't" give up in exchange for your good health.
Health is like everything else that comes to us for free: air, water, life, etc., we don't appreciate it until it's gone.
The Reason
The reason you would give up just about everything you own in exchange for your good health is because if you think about it, if not healthy, you're unable to enjoy anything...period, end of story.
You could have the coolest car, coolest games, coolest friends and coolest family but if your sick, you can't enjoy any of them.
Nothing is fun or enjoyable when you're sick and nothing can take you out of your game so suddenly or completely as poor health.
Kid, health is your # 1 priority.
Logic Reasoning and Rationale
The above "logic, reasoning and rationale" is more "logic, reasoning and rationale" than any one human being needs in order to become a new student of health and get immediately on the proper path.
The question is will you skip by it like the "status quo" or, will you actually let the idea of health significantly enter your life and take hold of your thoughts to the point of action - which by the way is known as the "moment of truth".
And, if my some odd, unforseen, chance that you aren't already driven by the above potent "logic, reasoning and rationale" to adopt a life full of health, rejoice and be glad as there is yet another reason - a really big reason - one that you will most certainly like and shall give you the support necessary to positivily make the switch to health.
Ready for it? Well here it is.
Health = Wealth
That’s right: Health = Wealth.
Long ago, when we imagined a rich man, he was fat, wearing a nice suit, perhaps a tuxedo, with a cigar in between two outstretched fingers - like the banker man in Monopoly.
Not so anymore. That was a bad and inaccurate image. If you line up all the rich people in your life, 9 out of 10 will be trim, lively, energetic, vibrant, health conscious people, who workout regularly and eat real food.
Obese and overweight find it exceedingly difficult operate with sustained energy. No offense intended. It's just, I mean, how can they?
Many are carrying around the equivalent of two people on one set of legs.
Imagine for a moment how energetic you'd me, both physically and mentally if you had someone riding piggy-back all day, everyday. You'd be exhausted by 9:00 AM.
In order to become wealthy, you have to have energy and energy comes from proper nutrition and ample exercise.
Truth be told, the reason people get "wealthy" is because they are "healthy".
Health actually precedes wealth; health is a prerequisite of wealth.
If wanting wealth, the first step is adopting a plan of health. Health will lead the way and take you where you want to go.
The practice of good health grants you all the benefits one gets like a sound body and swift mind - these are the required ingredients for financial success.
Do yourself a favor Kid. Read Inspiration 101 and learn everything you need to know to optimize the performance of your brain and body via the best information available on the planet.
Do this and you shall be glad you did.
Yours in good health,
The Guru

Questions are the Answer
Dear Kid,
Truth be known, every great answer since the beginning of time came at the hands of a wise question. It will serve you to remember that.
Questions are the mother of all knowledge and should be seen for the miraculous tool they are especially if one is hoping, praying or planning on moving forward in life.
I say to you -- question yourself often.
Yes, to periodically check and ensure you are keeping straight with your core values, beliefs and standards but also beyond that.
Ask yourself questions about questions. Ask them often. Answer them if you can.
If you can't answer them directly, ponder on them at your convenience; stew on them, let the thought stir inside your beautiful mind and see what comes.
I respectfully request that you simply write your question onto your paper and subsequently, into your life allowing it to live freely in the background of your priceless mind and imagination.
I say to you with an overage of glow that this one, simple act will work miracles into your life.
My child, the secret to life is that the answers are oft much simpler than you think. As in this situation, the secret's actually in the simplicity. The "simplicity" is the very thing that makes it genius!
Leornardo DaVinci said "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication". Leonardo was a smart man. I believe him.
Ask yourself questions about what you know, what you don't know, what you think you know, and what you think you don't know and see what happens.
One last point.
Always question "why" you are doing something - don't just follow the heard like the rest of the people.
Make sure you're not just following along randomly like a leaf blowing in the wind because if this the case, by default you are following the "status quo".
And kid, allow me to close by letting you in one one very powerful, enlightening and well-kept secret.
Ready for this?
The status quo is no way to go!!!
Always remember that Kid.
Yours in inspirational questions,
The Guru

The Game of Life
Dear Kid,
Life is a game; it truly is - and like it or not you're playing. And that's okay because it's the best way to look at it.
Have you ever wondered why "The Game of Life" doesn't come with a Game Plan?
I mean it's by far the trickiest, most confusing, complex, mysterious and potentially dangerous game you'll ever play – nothing else comes close.
Life's unique matrix and combinations of pit-falls, trap-doors and slippery slopes are equalled only by its mounting temptations, massive misguidance and a seemingly bottomless pit of never-ending and progressing challenges.
Life, throughout the ages has caused many men to live lives of quiet despartion. It's driven many men mad. There have been many losers in the Game of Life.
To be sure, The Game of Life is not easy.
Given the irrefutable fact that life is the biggest game you'll ever play in your...well, "life" why is there no plan? Where are the written directions? Where'ss the necessary Owners Manual?
You get a written list of objectives, instructions, guidelines, rules, strategies, techniques, trouble shooting ideas for every other game, activity, class, or sport that you ever play.
Why not "life"?
Every toy, gadget and electronic device you own came with a list of directions, didn't it?...full of information on how to use or play with it successfully, how to best care for it, prolong and optimize it's "life" and performance.
Does something seem amiss?
I ask you again: Where is Life's Game Plan?! Where is the set of rules, guidelines and goals?!
Without debate, clear to all and sad to say, we prepare you better for a little league baseball game or a new activity in gym class than we do for "The Game of Life".
Does that make sense to you kid? It doesn't to me.
Do yourself a favor Kid - stick around this blog, and when my book Inspiration 101 comes out, get two.
For it's the ticket to all you seek - it's the missing Game Plan for Life - it's the the Ultimate Game Plan for Life!
If you want to know the way to go Kid, become wise and...
Go with the Guru.
Peace out,
~The Guru

The Status Quo is No Way to Go
Dear Kid,
In the near future, I will read to you a excerpt from up and coming book "The Status Quo Is No Way To Go".
This unique book stands on its ear everything you take for granted in your mind and demands your undivided attention.
I'll share with you in great detail all the interesting "how's" and "why's" our society has fallen off and how our life has become literally a movie, hi-jacked by perversion, violence and evil - just like in the Theatres, but for real.
The Book also lists a virtual googleplex of reasons why if you choose to go with the norm, or the - "status- quo" - you will not surprisingly end up in a totally unfulfilling, unrewarding and unexciting life.
Going with the status-quo virtually guarantee's a life filled with heartache, repetitive negative drama and high levels of confusion, frustration and despair.
There's evidence of it everywhere you look in all kinds of people including adults and possibly your parents.
Guru's Life Changing "Adult" Tip of The Day
If you don't think there are screwed up parents walking around out there, then we need to have a little talk.
Later on, I'll share a few mind blowing stories of my own that will send tingles down your spine and stand your hair on end.
My intent is to give you all the information you need to live a great life. Sometimes the smallest piece of information will change your life.
If someone would have told me that adults are sometimes screwed up, my life would have been much better so I pass it on to you.
You need to evaluate the sources of your information. Do not just take people's word for things - check it out for yourself.
To be clear, I am not wanting you to be disrespectul to parents, teachers and adults in your life.
I'm saying watch and listen closely and if they don't make any sense, don't take on their views, beliefs or information.
The amount of bad information out there put out by adults is staggering and just knowing that is a very valuable navigational instrument that will serve you well.
Observation
The reason there are so many misdirected adults out there is simple.
I would have never been able to see this had I not went on my five year journey of enlightenment.
In other words, very few have this information because very few have the time, interest or ability to take off five years and study the meaning of life and all it's secrets.
Over a five year enlightening journey, I've studied life. It's meaning, purpose and Truth.
I've learned and will much of it with you. I've made many observations that are unknown to the many.
Look at all the oceans and oceans of screwed up little kids out there. The ones who can hardly talk, think or concentrate.
Now, sadly realize that not one of them is going to grow "up" like we like to think.
In Inspiration 101, my forthcoming book on "How to Become Inspired, Develop the All-Seeing Eye and Live the Life of Your Imagination", I'll share with you how and why the mass of men and women actually grow "down" in all area's of life - not "up" as we believe.
Given this "Growing Down Effect", all the little kids out there that are currently "screwed up" due to no fault of their own, only get more and more screwed up because of their screwed up surroundings.
If you doubt my words, turn on a television, listen to the radio, walk down the street or step inside a school.
And then, all those poor wayward kids become official adults without testing, standards or certification of any kind and are granted this immediate credibility of "adulthood" but have done little more for their development of "self" than a piece of cheese or a bottle of wine.
"Aging" is not a reason for credibility or authority - everyone and anyone can age. You couldn't stop it if you tried.
It takes more than aging to be an adult.
And so, this unevolved, misdirected, untrained population, who become with the passing of time, often more reminiscent of an "animal" than a "human" venture out and embed themselves into the blindness of society and eventually find a place.
This position of authority - no matter how big or small - grants them power and influence over our children, especially the meek, naive or innocent ones - as they less likely to be able to see through the hood in "adulthood" - in other words, the wolf in the sheep's clothing.
And so it goes and goes.
Stay far away from the status quo. If possible make a new one but no matter what, please remember that "the status quo is no way to go".
Yours in Truth,
The Guru

On Appreciation and Inspiration
Dear Kid,
Quick note for you to remember...
"No one will appreciate you - until first you do".
After you learn to appreciate yourself, you will be able to find your all-important inspiration. Finding your inspiration is your definate major purpose in life and the reason for you being on this planet. Find your inspiration.
All my best,
The Guru

The Genius in U
Dear Kid,
By now, you've probably figured out that I'm effectively and efficiently giving you all the answers and secrets to the Universe. Congratulations!
You passed the first task with flying colors and obviously have a keen sense of awareness. This skill will come in handy during our forthcoming journey so keep up the good work!
As you'll soon discover, all tasks that've long been planned for you are of the same level of difficulty as the one above, so as you can see, it's not rocket science - it's actually quite simple.
Upgrade
To make this as simple as they are, at this point of the experience, we need to perform a quick upgrade and make a few, key, strategic enhancements.
We need to install, using only words and their conjured up images, a brand new, super-charged, tweeked out, high-performance engine - under your hood in your head.
The slight changes we are making shall allow us to move at warp speeds toward your soon to be created secret destiny that awaits your presence.
Our task, (remembering that I'm the teacher and you're the student) denoting I'm the one bearing most of the responsibility and work, is to turn you into a bonefied genius! How does this sound so far?
My hope is that it sounds extraordinarily good! When is the last time someone offered to turn you into a genius?
If becoming a genius when according to the world, probably including you - and perhaps all your teachers! that you are clearly and categorically NOT a genius sounds difficult, then stick around.
If the task of turning a non-genius to genius, or in other words transforming water to wine seems like a ridiculously difficult, uniquely complex and arguably impossible task...I again encourage you to stay tunes as you are in for an extraordinarily enlightening experience.
Even though you thought changing a person of normal IQ into a genius was a difficult task, do not fret...it's okay --nobody cares about your mistake - nobody expects you to be correct all the time - heck, you're not even a genius yet, right?
The reason it's so easy to turn you and other followers into a genius practically over night and without proximity, is because of one reason and the reason is this:
Every person here is already a genius! Yes, that's right, that's what I said...you and everyone around you is already a genius!
A recent Harvard study by the top people in brain work concluded that 98% of children are born into genius! 98%!!! This is extraordinary and madly vital information for you and I to absorb.
Before coming across this information, i concluded, and still maintain, that Harvards study is grand but 2% off. I personally believe every body - bar none - is a genius.
You're a genius, he's a genius, she's a genius and I'm a genius - we're ALL genius'!! How cool is that?!!
Truth be told, the only reason you don't already know you're a genius is because the people around you are... (Scccrrreeeeeching Stop!! Beware!! A BIG, bold Truth is coming up!!!
Last chance to turn back!!!! If you are fearful of "truth", stop reading and turn back at once! I repeat, all ye fearful of the Truth should stop immediately and turn back - this is your last warning!!!
Still here? Super!!! I'm glad you made it - I was hoping you would!
Remember, we're talking the truth and to some people, this is totally unfamiliar territory and therefore can be very scary. Better proceed with caution; remove all loose objects, tie your shoes tight and hang on to your hat!
Here it comes!
The truth of the matter is, the only reason you fail to know you're a genius is because the people who surround you...(LAST CHANCE TO RUN!!!!) are too dumb to realize you're a genius!
There, I said it. Good to get that cat out of the bag. And yes, the reason is due to the inadequacies of the people around you.
Due to their blinded eye, their chinks in armor, the reflection you receive of your "self" back from them is based on their ability to see and appreciate the beauty in you--not yours.
So, if they are in the vast majority and have missed the boat, if they've failed to become, if they've fallen short and acquired a negative look at the world, then guess what?
That's right. Your genius goes out the window undiscovered, undeveloped and unappreciated both by you and the world that surrounds you. It's a lose, lose, lose situation and what you call a full blown tragedy. You lose, the people who surround you lose and the world loses.
Kid, let me be the first to tell you, begin to know yourself, trust yourself. Become self relient. Count on nobody else.
My good friend and great writer Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote this to me: "Self trust is the first step to success".
While eating lunch the other day and playing "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" in Athens, Greece, with my friend Plato, he said, "The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depend upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living".
And last week, while with sculptor Michelangelo's playing Zbox 2012 and taking a peak at some marble statue he's working on called "David" (which I think is kind of a boring name), he said "Faith in oneself is the best and safest course".
And just today, while meeting at the Barnes and Noble for our Writers Club, my German buddy Johann von Goethe said to me, "As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live".
I admire the opinion of these friends very much. It seems they are always right so I pass their wisdom onto you.
Take the advise of my smart friends. Take matters into your own hands and out of the hands of others.
How can it be?
If you're wondering the reason the people who surround you cannot see your genius, it's because the people they grew up around couldn't see theirs!
Moreover, the reason that group failed to see the genius in themselves and subsequently those around them, is because they, like you, were surrounded by yet another group of uninspired people who, of course could not see anything either.
It's a long-standing, self-perpetuating, ever-declining endless downward spiral that just keeps going and going - faster and faster with no change in sight.
Look Inside
For all key matters that involve your "self" and your future like knowledge, guidance, wisdom and truth -- look only to the inside of things.
Good places to look are inside are your mind, heart and soul - other places include the inside of books, seminars and minds of enlightened people.
Do not! I repeat do not look to the outside world for these things.
You will not find any of them there. Beware as you will find only greed, corruption, perversion and evil.
Two Boxes, One Prize
In this matter, there a two choices but only one prize - the prize is a beautiful life, one that you truly enjoy each and every day.
As often the case in life, there are usually to choices from which to choose - let's say two boxes.
Remember, if you choose the one without the prize, that is your decision and to be sure, no matter how long or how hard you look into the wrong box, you won't find it - ever.
I see the hour is getting late. We can continue this discussion at a later time.
Until that time, ponder about my assertions that you are already a genius! Everything is ready and waiting for your command.
Imagine what it feels like to be a genius, imagine what they stand for in the theatre of your mind. Focus if you can, on the images that pop into your mind when you think "genius".
All we need to do is bring it out. The good news is, bringing out people's genius is an accomplishable task, the specialty of the house and I'm personally looking forward to it.
Make each day your masterpiece,
Talk soon,
The Guru
By now, you've probably figured out that I'm effectively and efficiently giving you all the answers and secrets to the Universe. Congratulations!
You passed the first task with flying colors and obviously have a keen sense of awareness. This skill will come in handy during our forthcoming journey so keep up the good work!
As you'll soon discover, all tasks that've long been planned for you are of the same level of difficulty as the one above, so as you can see, it's not rocket science - it's actually quite simple.
Upgrade
To make this as simple as they are, at this point of the experience, we need to perform a quick upgrade and make a few, key, strategic enhancements.
We need to install, using only words and their conjured up images, a brand new, super-charged, tweeked out, high-performance engine - under your hood in your head.
The slight changes we are making shall allow us to move at warp speeds toward your soon to be created secret destiny that awaits your presence.
Our task, (remembering that I'm the teacher and you're the student) denoting I'm the one bearing most of the responsibility and work, is to turn you into a bonefied genius! How does this sound so far?
My hope is that it sounds extraordinarily good! When is the last time someone offered to turn you into a genius?
If becoming a genius when according to the world, probably including you - and perhaps all your teachers! that you are clearly and categorically NOT a genius sounds difficult, then stick around.
If the task of turning a non-genius to genius, or in other words transforming water to wine seems like a ridiculously difficult, uniquely complex and arguably impossible task...I again encourage you to stay tunes as you are in for an extraordinarily enlightening experience.
Even though you thought changing a person of normal IQ into a genius was a difficult task, do not fret...it's okay --nobody cares about your mistake - nobody expects you to be correct all the time - heck, you're not even a genius yet, right?
The reason it's so easy to turn you and other followers into a genius practically over night and without proximity, is because of one reason and the reason is this:
Every person here is already a genius! Yes, that's right, that's what I said...you and everyone around you is already a genius!
A recent Harvard study by the top people in brain work concluded that 98% of children are born into genius! 98%!!! This is extraordinary and madly vital information for you and I to absorb.
Before coming across this information, i concluded, and still maintain, that Harvards study is grand but 2% off. I personally believe every body - bar none - is a genius.
You're a genius, he's a genius, she's a genius and I'm a genius - we're ALL genius'!! How cool is that?!!
Truth be told, the only reason you don't already know you're a genius is because the people around you are... (Scccrrreeeeeching Stop!! Beware!! A BIG, bold Truth is coming up!!!
Last chance to turn back!!!! If you are fearful of "truth", stop reading and turn back at once! I repeat, all ye fearful of the Truth should stop immediately and turn back - this is your last warning!!!
Still here? Super!!! I'm glad you made it - I was hoping you would!
Remember, we're talking the truth and to some people, this is totally unfamiliar territory and therefore can be very scary. Better proceed with caution; remove all loose objects, tie your shoes tight and hang on to your hat!
Here it comes!
The truth of the matter is, the only reason you fail to know you're a genius is because the people who surround you...(LAST CHANCE TO RUN!!!!) are too dumb to realize you're a genius!
There, I said it. Good to get that cat out of the bag. And yes, the reason is due to the inadequacies of the people around you.
Due to their blinded eye, their chinks in armor, the reflection you receive of your "self" back from them is based on their ability to see and appreciate the beauty in you--not yours.
So, if they are in the vast majority and have missed the boat, if they've failed to become, if they've fallen short and acquired a negative look at the world, then guess what?
That's right. Your genius goes out the window undiscovered, undeveloped and unappreciated both by you and the world that surrounds you. It's a lose, lose, lose situation and what you call a full blown tragedy. You lose, the people who surround you lose and the world loses.
Kid, let me be the first to tell you, begin to know yourself, trust yourself. Become self relient. Count on nobody else.
My good friend and great writer Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote this to me: "Self trust is the first step to success".
While eating lunch the other day and playing "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" in Athens, Greece, with my friend Plato, he said, "The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depend upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living".

Who Should Read this Blog?
The answer to the question of "who should read this blog?" is 134 pages long and takes approximately 5.75 hours to read pending on your quantity and quality of light.
Given this fact, let's take a different approach - one that will be much easier on both your daily schedule and your eyes.
Let's instead look at this a different way and ask ourselves a much more effective question - one that is asked, answered and understood in a much simpler and timely manner.
As always in questions, if we make a small change, a tweek of sorts, we can generate a much more managable and potent answer.
With questions, it's all in the details.
After a little reworking, the new question becomes...Who should not read this blog?
Not a very big change.
As a matter of fact, a very small change...a change of only one word.
But astonishingly, the answer to the question is miraculously condenced from 134 "pages" to 19 "words" - and from 15.86 hours to a matter of seconds.
Isn't that a beautiful thing?
Now watch this.
The people who should not read this blog is anyone who has no desire to do, be or have anything else than you already do at this time.
That's it - final answer. I'ts short, sweet and totally accurate.
If you have no hopes, dreams and goals to do anything else with your life from this point on, you shouldn't read this blog, AND, you and I need to have a little talk...so do yourself and the world a favor, read the information that's been specifically contrived for your benefit.
Part of the lesson today is that often times the "opposite" is much more illuminating and vastly more efficient than its counterpart.
Probably because of an over generalization in math , most assume it's always a 50/50 split.
We study this at great length in my upcoming book, Inspiration 101 "How to Become Inspired, Develop the All Seeing Eye and Live the Life of Your Imagination" - A Course of Action for Kids Age 9 - 99.
To be sure, sometimes what is not said says more than what is. Remember that Kid.
Stick around, read my words, think on it a bit.
I guarantee you'll find some answers to your questions - perhaps more than you can possibly imagine.
Have your best day,

The "Art" of Conversation
Dear Kid-
To be a skilled in communication is in your best interest. In many ways, perhaps more than you think, your future depends of it.
The art of conversation is nothing more than your ability to express your true feelings. It's the most natural thing in the world and every person is a complete master if given half a chance.
The trick in conversation - as in life, is to chip away the excess and unveil the masterpiece that dwells within. Chipping away the excess allows for life's sweetest escape and grants you the voice that is yours.
Figure out who are. Find thyself. Learn thyself. Know thyself.
Then by way of the information you acquired while studying your "self" begin to work your "self" as an artist works his masterpiece.
Create, develop and refine. Be original. Be an artist. Be the masterpiece.
As always,
The Guru
