Being Great Breeds Greatness

Life Returns The Favor

When you encounter resistance, it means you are moving forward. When you come across a challenge, it means you have reached the point where you can successfully meet that challenge.
Life becomes more rewarding as it becomes more demanding. You are destined to achieve, and each successive achievement positions you for an even greater, more challenging achievement.

Each new challenge is an opportunity to stretch beyond your previous limits. Most of the advantages you enjoy today were born in the difficulties through which you traveled in days past.

Every day brings a new way for you to more fully give of yourself. It is by so giving, in ways that are familiar and in ways not yet imagined, that you create the life you most sincerely desire.

In everything there is treasure to be found. The richest treasures are those that ask the most of you, for they resonate wholly with your deepest purpose.

Delight in the living beauty of each challenging effort. Give your best to life and life returns the favor, a million times over.

20/20 Third Eye Vision

Strengthening Your Beliefs

To strengthen your beliefs and assumptions, challenge them regularly. You'll rid yourself of those outdated assumptions that hold you back, while at the same time strengthening those valuable beliefs that can move you forward.
There is no doubt that challenge builds strength. It is a key theme of life.

Muscles that are challenged to lift heavier and heavier loads become stronger as a result of the training. Minds that are challenged to solve more and more difficult problems become increasingly adept from the experience.

Questioning and challenging your beliefs can transform them from mere beliefs into absolute certainties. The willingness to challenge a belief demonstrates your commitment to, and confidence in that belief.

By being your own most effective skeptic, you add real depth and substance to your beliefs, perspectives and assumptions. By continuing to ask why and why not, you learn much and grow stronger.

When you challenge your beliefs, you compel yourself to make them a reality. You transform them from vague concepts into living, breathing certainties upon which you can build great value.

Reporting For Active Duty.....UuMmm, I Mean LIFE!!!!!

Live With Joy

Find joy in doing nothing and you can find it in everything. Experience happiness without a reason and you can create happiness for any reason.
Realize that happiness is not the result of good things, but is indeed the cause of good things. There is nothing you need in order to be happy other than the choice to be.

Imagine living this day filled with joy, happiness and positive purpose. Imagine it, then take one more step and actually do it.

Let go of any concern you may have for what does or does not come your way. Focus instead on the good and valuable things that you can give, create, inspire and choose to experience.

Don't allow the world to pull you down with its negativity. Choose to transform the world around you with your own positive outlook.

Real joy is always a choice you can make. Live with joy, let happiness flow out from you, and life becomes more radiant with each passing moment.

The Depth Of Life's Richness

For every tragedy, there are a thousand joys. For every setback, there are countless ways to move positively forward from it.
Though the world may sometimes seem cold and dreary, there is always a bright new sunrise on the way. Though life can certainly be unfair, it is at the same time filled with an unending supply of positive possibilities.

As painful as the losses can be, love will heal to an even greater degree. In the darkest of times, hope shines more brightly than ever.

Your own existence is so thoroughly familiar to you that you rarely think anything about it. Yet it is a wondrous miracle that is utterly beyond compare.

What you have is so much more than what you can touch or see. What you have is everything that is, and all that can ever be.

You will never fully grasp the depth of life's richness. For the more of it you experience, the more of it there is.

Nightly News.....Wisen Up Young Pedowin

“The Nightly News” is the story of John Guyton, who is definitely a very angry man and has every right to be. I will add that he certainly doesn't stay that way and the tone of the series changes as he does.

The inspiration for “The Nightly News” were the stories of innocent people like Richard Jewell (the Olympic Bomber) whose lives are basically ripped apart by billion dollar companies so they can entertain us/boost ratings/charge higher advertising rates/make more money. There are a lot of stories similar to his out there. Researching this stuff was a little scary.

“The Nightly News” simply asks the question: what happens when the media companies do that to the wrong guy?

Here's What Akai Has To Say About The 5000.....Oh, And Peace To My Man 88 Keys On The Heads Up......("The Death Of Adam" Soon Come Kiddies)

The MPC5000 is the first MPC ever to include 8-track streaming hard disk recording, a 20-voice, 3-oscillator analog synthesizer with arpeggiator, a new sequencing engine with 960 ppq resolution, pad and track muting and mixing, 64 continuous sample tracks. There's even a new FX engine with 4 FX buses and 2FX per bus.

In addition, the MPC5000 features a 64-voice drum/phrase sampler with 64MB memory Ð expandable up to 192MB. The display is twice the size of the MPC2500 and MPC1000 so waveforms appear crystal-clear. Integrated Chop Shop 2.0 now supports stereo chops and Patched Phrases. The MPC5000 is the first MPC to include Random and Cycle sample playback in addition to velocity Zone Play. A turntable preamp is also included.

The MPC5000's virtual analog synth eliminates need for external analog synth modules or buggy software based synthesizers. The new 8-track direct to disk recorder lets you produce your whole song in the MPC and then mix it down with the internal sequenced programs and any input thru material. Add the optional CD/DVD drive and you can then burn an audio or data CD or your mix. Over 650MB of premium-quality sounds from Loopmasters are included to get you up and running with pro-quality production in seconds.

I Still Wonder What The Originator Roger Linn Would Have Done With This WonderFul & Revolutionary Technology Had Akai Done RIGHT By Him.....Thank You Mr. Linn

Most Divine Imagination

Your Imagination

There are no limits to what you can imagine. And what you create in your imagination sets the stage for what you will create in your life.
Your imagination can take you to any place and any time you choose. In your imagination, you can construct and explore whatever set of circumstances you wish to experience.

Imagination can help you prepare to do things you've never done. It can also help you improve and perfect the tasks with which you're already familiar.

Pay close and careful attention to the realities of your life. And then fully explore the possibilities present in those realities by sifting them through the wondrous power of your imagination.

When it seems that you've run out of options, imagine for yourself some new ones. If you let it, your imagination can pull you toward the truth you need to know.

The reality of your life is rich indeed. And imagination greatly expands your access to that richness.

Whether You Live Your Life In Service To A Higher Force Or I Self Lord & Master Your Path, You Must Ultimately Love YourSelf Enough To Be YourSelf, So You Can Chose The Proper Path. In Doing So, You Not Only EnRich Your Life, But, You Also Put YourSelf In A Position To Be The Greatest Possible Entity You Can Be With A Power To Share, Give & Embellish Existence.

Create

Venture Out

Can you find it within yourself to appreciate and even enjoy what you do not like? By so doing, you will experience a sense of acceptance, peace and power.
Can you learn to be understanding and patient when you have been angered, frustrated, or inconvenienced? Do so, and you'll discover a highly effective way to move forward no matter what.

Are you able to respect and explore an opinion or perspective with which you disagree? That can add real strength and conviction to your own perspective.

Life's richness does not come from just staying with what is familiar, comfortable and pleasurable. It is when you venture out, away from the familiar, that you grow stronger and more capable.

Hold tightly to your core values while at the same time opening your mind and your heart to new thoughts, feelings and experiences. Your own perspective will grow stronger when you look at it from other perspectives.

Find ways to provide a healthy challenge for your understanding of life. And you'll learn to understand, to discover and to experience so very much more.

Even More Reasons Why Being EXTRAORDINARY Is Kool

I'm a huge fan of Alan Moore's writing. I first read the first volume of "The League Of ExtraOrdinary GentleMen" after I had seen the film, which I liked by the way, YEAH YEAH, I know I'm one of the few who dig it, but that what makes people great, We all have Our Own Minds. I thought the book was so much better was much better than the film and with that I got right into volume two soon after. The way Alan Moore manages to blend literature into each other by teaming Dr. Jekyll & Mr.Hyde (Robert Louis Stevenson) with Captain Nemo (Jules Verne's "Twenty ThouSand Leagues Under The Sea) into Miss Wilhelmina Murray (Bram Stroker's Dracula) then mashed with Allan QauterMain (HAha, Literally, Wink Wink, Nudge Nudge.....Word To Monty Python) (H. Rider Haggard's King Solomon's Mines) and adding in some Hawley Griffin, AKA, The InVisible Man ( H.G Wells) is by far one of the most outstanding, thought provoking and down right FUN reads I've ever had.

That Said.....
I just got the new LEAGUE Book, named "The Black Dossier." It's meant to be a literal dossier, background, on the members of "The League" plus more. It has a 3D section and the glasses to go with it and a "Tijuana Bible" ( an eight paged "dirty book" that were made during the 1920's to early 1960's), HAha, What More Could you Ask For.

Rise & See That Fear Is An Illusion

No Worry

Here's a simple, easy way to make an immediate and profound improvement in the quality of your life. Stop worrying.
The next time you catch yourself wrapping your mind around a worry, choose to let that worry fall completely away. Notice how much more positive and effective you suddenly are.

Worry poisons your thoughts and keeps life's best opportunities hidden from you. Worry actually increases the power and influence of those undesirable things you worry about.

Certainly it's important to look clearly and realistically at life's dangers, problems and challenges. Yet there is nothing to be gained by worrying about them.

Choose to replace each negative worry with positive action. Instead of looking down, pick yourself up and move forward.

Every moment is filled with countless opportunities to create lasting value. Stop worrying, and start living with richness, purpose and real joy.

The Choice Is Yours.....So Is The World

Now Is What You Choose

There was a time when you thought you could change the world. You were right, and you still are.
There was a time when you knew that life was filled with limitless possibilities. It still is, and so are you.

Perhaps you're dismayed that so much time has passed without much noticeable progress. Yet the longer you've waited to move forward, the more quickly and powerfully you can do so when you choose to start.

To change the world, and to fulfill your greatest possibilities, does not require anything from your past. It's a matter of making a choice, in the present, to act with positive purpose.

Now is the place where your life resides. And now is what you choose to make it.

With a thankful, joyful heart, look around you at the possibilities that stretch out in all directions. Choose one of those possibilities now, and proceed to lovingly give life to it.

A World Of Wonder

These Are Some Words That I Thought Beneficial To Share.....


New worlds to explore

To fully know and appreciate the place where you are, you must go someplace else and then return. To increase your understanding, you must challenge and question what you think you know.
Your perspective gains much value when you consider it from the viewpoint of another perspective. Those who willingly, respectfully and thoughtfully entertain skeptics become the most authentic, passionate and convincing believers.

The value of what you know depends on being aware of what you do not know. Learning arises from the acceptance of your ignorance.

The most valuable experiences are those which are filled with surprises. The sights you've never seen before, and the sounds you never expected to hear, can open you to higher levels of awareness.

There is no end to the variety in the universe, and it grows with every moment. Do not hesitate to seek it out, for there will always be more.

You are never too old to feel the childlike wonder and delight of experiencing something new. Step outside of the world you know, and keep on finding new worlds to explore.
