In my own quest for the meaning of life, I thought Oprah was right when she said "The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. You have to work hard for the things you want." To some degree that's true, but I finally found out for myself what the SECRET to life is. It's this...


Man becomes what he thinks about. You see, everything in the Universe is made up of the exact same thing - Energy. The sun, the moon, the rocks in a brick wall, the skin of your hand to the beat of a baby's heart, absolutly everything is made out of energy & everything in the universe is connected. There's an arab saying that goes "God sleeps in the rock, dreams in the plant, stirs in the animal & awakens in man." Basically, everything is a part of us & we are a part of everything. Everything in the universe can feel our thoughts because our thoughts are energy. That why we have gut feelings, instinct, body language, first impressions, facial features, voice tonality...children are very good observers this way & even animals can even sense things about people & the weather in advance of everyone else. That's all ENERGY.

Now LIFE hasn't always been perfect or fair, & I do run in to my own share of BS but I think [b]Walt Disney[/b] said it best when he said..."All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles & obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.” Drama didn't turn me into the selfish prick it could have, but now, I just have rules when it comes to moral values, as well as zero tolerance for bad behavior & manipulation. This short story taught me a lot.

MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN 5 SHORT CHAPTERS

1
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in.
I am lost ... I am helpless.
It isn''t my fault.
It takes me forever to find a way out.

2
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don''t see it.
I fall in again.
I can''t believe I am in the same place
But, it isn''t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

3
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in ... it''s a habit.
My eyes are open
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

4
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

5
I walk down another street.

Where on the road are you? What do you focus on?

The first thing you and I need to do is STOP comparing yourself to anyone else, as you'd just be a 2nd rate version of them. You are not them. You're Different. Be yourself! Like yourself! Right now, YOU are perfect. No one else can ever be like you. Be at peace with that. Accept it.

"Letting Go"

To 'let go' does not mean to stop caring, it means I can't do it for someone else.
To 'let go' is not to cut myself off, it's the realization I can't control another.
To 'let go' is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences.
To 'let go' is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.
To 'let go' is not to try to change or blame another, it's to make the most of myself.
To 'let go' is not to care for, but to care about.
To 'let go' is not to fix, but to be supportive.
To 'let go' is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.
To 'let go' is not to be protective, it's to permit another to face reality.
To 'let go' is not to nag, scold or argue, but instead to search out my own shortcomings & correct them.
To 'let go' is not to adjust everything to my desires but to take each day as it comes & cherish myself in it.
To 'let go' is not to criticize anybody but to try to become what I dream I can be.
To 'let go' is not to regret the past, but to grow & live for the future.
To 'let go' is to fear less, and love more.

As a human being, I believe that you are great. Regardless of what has happened to you in your life. Regardless of how young or old you think you might be. There is something magnificent about you. There is something powerful within, that's greater than the world. It will begin to emerge, it will take over your life. It will feed you, It will clothe you, it will guide you, protect you, direct you, sustain your very existenance. If you let it. That is what I know for sure. Feel Good about life. Have Fun With it. "Follow your Bliss."

"Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do."

Do whatever you need to do to go after your dreams. See everything this world has to offer & do everything once, more if you like it. Be passionate. Concentrate on your potential & go for it! Use all your ENERGY to go after what you want. Take up space in this world, stake your claim on your life & own it! The world will spin for you, already wherever you walk is the exact top of the world, do a pushup and benchpress the world. There is nothing you cannot be, or do, or have. Life is absolutely phenomal. There is no better time than right now to be happy.

Myself, I focus my life on the following:

-- Happiness
-- Success
-- Freedom
-- Fulfillment
-- True Love
-- Family Values
-- Healthy Body, Mind, Soul & Sex Life
-- Wonderful Positive Interesting Friends
-- Exciting Adventures Around the World

My Life's Purpose for myself and for yourself if you want...

My own purpose is to live a life of courage & to resonate with love & compassion by being a good father, a trusted partner & friend who awakens the creative expression within others. I want to continue build upon my reality which is that a great happy life where I continue to evolve, to grow, to mature, to learn to be the person that I picture myself to be. A Man who treasures harmony, co-operation & sharing & a reverence for all life.

Being single, I love to take adventurous, fun, happy, optimistic, sophisticated, intelligent dates to places that inspire me...but that's not that difficult as I see beauty in everything. "a thing of beauty is a joy forever" Inspiration can be found in anything & anywhere from a simple walk around the block to a week-long joy ride to Disneyland in L.A. I don't play games but I love to tease. As a lover, I'm adventurous & love to talk about sexuality. I always pick up the UPTOWN magazine & pick out 10 places I want to go in the next month...and then do it.

I consider myself to be a very cool, very confident man that sees the sense of humor in everything. What I say is what I think & who I am on the outside is who I am on the inside. I'm impossible to intimidate or embarrass & not much surprises me. I am the father of two beautiful, wonderful, happy children 1st. A successful guru of technology & multimedia 2nd (my work is my play). Love writing songs & stories. Love directing movies & music videos. Love photographing people with my own sense of style & pictures of places to reminisce about. Love adventures like bungee-jumping, horseback riding, racing cars, rock climbing, bigfoot hunting, ufo searching, living on the edge & absolutly love stepping over the line. I'm a habitual line stepper.

These are the things that interest me and what I love, I love women who laugh, being in the presence of a lady, singing songs I just wrote for the first time, making films and movies, directing music videos, researching & writing my book on how women and men are attracted to each other, travelling off the main highways & freeways of life, dancing to my own beat, eureka moments, continually growing, evolving with the times, maturing gracefully, learning to be better, teaching what I know, the guilty pleasures, life as we know it, life as we don't know it, death & the unknown, dreams & what they mean, stars space universe, magic & psychics, tarot cards, palm readings, personality tests, having wishes & dreams, making goals & plans, knowing what I want, going after it, expressing myself, remaining positive no matter what, being as ridiculously happy as I can be, experiencing success over and over, living free in the best country in the world, that whole attraction & chemistry thing and last but not least falling in love and being surrounded by it at all times.
