Tiesto – Just Be

Lyric Sample

“You can travel the world
But you can’t run away
From the person you are in your heart

Keep all your light in the dark
If you’re searching for truth
You must look in the mirror
And make sense of what you can see”

What a glorious day!

When is this day going be over with?

People tend to have mixed emotions in regards to many areas of their lives

From friends to family, relationships to work, and everything in between, people seem to have roller-coaster reactions to the many things that happen in our day to day lives

This roller-coaster is not in fact a new attraction that you can find at Six Flags, but rather it is a state of mind known as ambivalence

Change Your State in 7 Minutes

In honor of my upcoming trip to San Jose, CA for the Anthony Robbins Unleash The Power Within seminar, I thought it would be appropriate to put up a clip showing a taste of what his 50 hour (yes that is not a typo, it is 10-12 hours a day for 4 days straight) conference will be like for me. This conference will give me many of the tools necessary for me to be more effective with helping people in their daily lives, help gain the tools to further get more of what I want out of life, and serve as a template for some AMAZING content I have planned for this website that you all will find useful

In this video, Anthony Robbins talks about what you focus on and how it can have drastic effects on the quality of your life

While this may be true for many people, it is about as far from what typically mediation looks like as possible

You can mediate sitting down, in the shower, relaxing outside, or even in your own bed.

But the various stigmas associated with mediation tend to dismay them from giving it a shot, dismissing it as some “bullshit” that wouldn’t be something they would do, or something that hippies do after they take part in some “recreational” drugs 😉

I am here to tell you that meditation is “in”, and spending just a few moments a day to relax and clear your head can have serious benefits for your life
