Video Marketing: 5 Rules To Business Introductions

Video marketing is a fairly straightforward method to create digital media that will introduce your business or a product/service; it’s also regarded as one of the most effective online marketing techniques available. I have been making videos for over 3+ years now for clients. The shortest is about one minute with the longest video about six minutes. All include custom music that I have purchased from a qualified supplier like POND5. Interesting and useful video marketing statistics Theses are available from hubspot.com and published by them in 2017. 56% of all video published are two minutes in length or less. The four most popular types of videos are explaining something, product demos, how-to, and/or testimonials. 37% of video are attached through to the end. 85% of businesses now have internal staff and resources to produce video. Video Making Guidelines There are generally five rules that I use in my video marketing for clients. #1 Keep video simple A short video that showcases the skills of the client is the perfect marketing effort. #2 Use video to demonstrate specific skill Use the video to show a real scenario the client resolved. For example, a landscaper fixes an unkept yard or landscapes a newly constructed home. A home builder turns an empty lot to a quality home. Or, a local business created a custom product, countertop, and installs it at a home. Another idea is a tutorial, showing the viewer how to accomplish a specific skill. For example, a video showing how to make a specific graphic design - a certain type of text which can be used in a brochure or web page. #3 Push client brand softly The easiest way to do a soft push on the client brand, the business who is being showcased in the video, is to use a beginning and ending slide. The beginning slide captures the effort of the video. The ending slide shows the contact information. #4 Use SEO (search engine optimization) in video production There are several excellent tools depending on your budget to make a video. At the high end is Final Cut Pro that costs $300. The middle ground is Screen Flow at $129. Another excellent choice is Motion (MAC) at $50 which has unique features and does interface with Final Cut Pro. When you save your video from Final Cut Pro to a MOV file on your desktop, or to a video channel like YouTube or Vimeo, you can edit the tags for each video. Those tags are the best SEO (Search Engine Optimization) method for a video. When you publish the video in the video channel make sure the title of the video is the same as the text link used on your web page. Check out the screen capture below. It shows the final screen in Final Cut Pro where you add the SEO tag. One SEO tag already placed there is “Landscape Contractor Services”. #5 Place video in client channels and/or web site when appropriate There are a several qualified sites that have significant traffic and produce quality links to your site. Those places include vimeo.com, youtube.com, along with social media sites. There is also a new site being established at real.video. Video enhances the appeal of your web pages(s). When you place a video from one of those quality sites on your website, and the video content matches, is revenant to, your web page content then you are creating a high value inbound link - which is important to the SEO of your website. Conversely, placing a video on your web page that is jus funny or has no relevance to your website detracts from your SEO effort. Today cellphones have improved cameras and ability to capture 4K video. There is an app I use called ProCam that turns my cell phone into a 4K video maker. The setting to use in that app is 30 FPS (frames per second) or 25 FPS. At time of this writing 4K is the gold standard for video. Its easy to see the quality of crystal clear 4K video when comparing it to an older video on Youtube. On most video channels, when you see “HD” that means high definition, they are saying that the video material is 4K or that the device, perhaps a monitor, is capable of showing 4K quality material. Video Case Study I have a client that manufactures countertops with cultured marble, cultured granite, and cultured onyx. They hired me to produce one video a week and post it to their Facebook, G+ account and YouTube channel. After a year I noticed their YouTube channel had picked up a steady stream of new subscribers. In fact, at the old monetization schedule qualifications on YouTube they would have qualified in 14 months to monetize their channel. Today they have thousands and thousands of views and hundreds of subscribers. Their videos are less that 90 seconds in length and showcase making their products. The majority of their viewers are in USA. Below is one of their popular videos. How Much To Charge For Video Production The cost is determine by the level of video producer. The four likely video production categories are amateur, semi-pro, professional, and premium. Amateur A DIY yourself approach from a provider that is self taught. The cost on a one - two minute video is free - sweat equity - and the quality can be good or bad. Semi-Pro A business offering video services from a background of producing video or other digital media who also has some training. This outfit uses their own equipment. The cost of a one - two minute video ranges from $150 to $1,250 depending on the time required to capture the material that makes the video. The main elements to consider when rating video content are music, content flow, header slide, footer slide, SEO features, content flow, brand recognition, and quality of video - 4K. Professional A business dedicated to producing digital media with over five years of experience. They have their own equipment. This type of video material involves staging an event at a specific location to produce, for example, a corporate video. The cost of a one - two minute video ranges from $5,000 - $20,000 depending on the time involved and rounds of edits agreed to in the contract. Premium A business dedicated to producing digital media with over a decade of experience. they have their own high-end equipment and probably a professional studio. This video content is closer to a movie style filming. he cost of a one - two minute video ranges from $25,000 - $50,000 depending on the time involved and rounds of edits agreed to in the contract. The remaining level of video production is Hollywood, making a professional feature video, requiring an effort, and expenses, which are substantial increased over what the costs we are discussing up to this point. Getting Started, The First Three Questions In Any Video Before you get started in your video production question, take some time to determine the ope of your effort and budget by answering these three questions: A. What is the purpose of your video? For example, do you want to build your business reputation, make a product video, or recruit new staff? B. Who is the target audience of your video? Do you want to reach new potential customers? Connect with previous customers? Provide education content to reach the general product about specific features/benefits? C. When will the video content be delivered? Be clear with yourself and your video supplier the expectation of video material delivery: format, storage of files, ongoing edits to content to produce revised editions, and make sure you own the copyright to all video material.

5 Easy Steps: Improve The Quality Of Your Life in 2017

A new year brings an auspicious time to reflect on your journey. To take time with yourself; contemplate your own journey, reveals a great key to unlocking the flow of your inner wisdom. Today we live in a constant media bombardment of the senses. To regain and/or maintain a sense of inner peace, you must have solace with your inner being. That is, the beingness which is eternal and resides in your heart. This is the only parcel, true in each of us, which supersedes religious dogma about what is good and what is authentic. Perhaps this year, which is coming to a close, has shown you angst or indifference about one situation or another, one relationship or another in your life? Perhaps you want to improve your life in one fashion or another, The first step, to any such improvement, is inner clarity. Clarity is a prized tool on the journey of life. It is simple and self evident. Clarity is the evidence of your own Truth and does need the agreement of others. Clarity lives free of the opinion, comments and questions - it's a serene subjective island in the sea of constant objective stimulation. Are you ready to take your journey to the next level? If so, here are five easy steps to assist you with walking in your own Truth. #1 Take time to notice the freedom you have. We all have freedom to one degree or another. Depending on your lifestyle, you have to declare your freedom for what you feel it to be. As your circumstances change, so to will your experience of freedom. The nugget here is to declare your freedom in how you feel and thus mold your circumstances and situations. There is no need to bamboozle or lie to yourself. Simple state the characteristics of you freedom as is. And, most importantly, adjust your observations in waking life to perceive characteristics enunciating freedom as you continue to move forward in your life. For example, you have the freedom to look where ever you want. You have the freedom to choose your thoughts. You have the freedom to feel good or bad. You have the freedom to choose your own perceptions. Steeping up to recognize and declare your freedom takes mental discipline and discernment. Once you understand those basic, core, freedoms you are ready to make your own statement about your freedom. Make a simple affirmation you can repeat often. Repeat it silently to your self until it resounds with you - filling you with the glory living fully. #2 Bring more allowing of well being into your life. All creatures are vibrational beings. You are a vibrational being. Very simply, you are made of energy that transmits through this Universe and all Universes. The energy of life permits natural well being. Period. Are you ready to get off the roller coaster ride of letting other people and external situations determine how you feel and what you think? All negative emotion, illness, and disease is a product of shutting off the natural well being available to you. Make am inner commitment, within your heart, to allow well being into your life. Be steadfast in that alignment. You will see the difference over time. #3 Explore your own intuition. Be patient with yourself. No gigantic changes are going to occur overnight. Thinking is a spiritual activity. Yes, the basis of spirituality is creativity. Because we have total freedom in this life, we can choose to be positive or be negative. What a person thinks and believes is totally up to them. Do you want to live naturally or do you want to be part of the herd? You can recognize the power of your inner wisdom when you understand that thoughts flowing to you are a construct of the Universe. If you choose to be negative and fearful then more of those thoughts will flow to you. If you choose to be happy and see good, then more of those thoughts will flow to you. There is no mystery here, this is all based on the Law Of Attraction and the Law of Cause and Effect. Two eternal Universal laws. It's up to you to take the steps in any direction you wish. First, align your inner thinking with your short term and long term motives. Be patient and you will see results. #4 Soak in your well deserved joy. Joy is a quality that is not portrayed in the external world very much. Many religions use it as a lure, saying you have to make one sacrifice or another to receive it. Joy is a natural component of well being. Bring more joy into your life with one easy step: notice more joy around you. Observe to yourself the joy in other people and/or situations. Most easily, you will find endless joy in the beauty on Nature. Joy is something you feel. It needs no agreement from another. It needs no comment from another. To improve the quality of your life, you must always renew your life within which means reduce/eliminate the need of approval from others. #5 Pay attention to the subtle signs and heed them. I believe that we are always receiving signs about our journey. It's an art to stop and notice them, then apply them. Don't expect to see a flashing neon light to guide you. But, do expect to see subtle signs and signals that will encourage you to go this way or that way. Yes, you will stumble and you will make mistakes. But, in those periods of frustration don't quit or give up. Just fine tune your perceptions. Keep your focus within and don;'t get discussed y the opinions of another. Maybe the sign will be a insight during a conversation or while you are making an observation. Or, it might be a sudden sensation or feeling. There are varying types of signals you can receive. Remember, you are an eternal being. What you learn and discover here on this Earthly journey will belong with you onto the next journey. There is no need to rush. Each of us is evolving and growing as we move forward in one direction or another. Find your natural comfort within and relax into a greater sense of Trust and Fatih with yourself; about you. Summary Each of the five steps above builds on the previous step(s). When you are focusing on step #5, you will come to understand that the subtle signs arise are a signature of your intuitive abilites. As you move forward within you will discern, with greater clarity, the difference between thinking and insights - which is a very fine line. But, as with every practice, it takes your mistakes and experience to see progress. Words don't teach, only life experience does. Wishing you and your family a Blessed new year!

Trump - Clinton: battle between the corruption on Capitol Hill

Believe it or Not ..... You are not going to read this in Main Stream Media ...... This is not a battle between two great candidates. This is a battle between the corruption on Capitol Hill and it happens to be Trump on the other side. The same result would unfold with anyone who was an outsider even if Trump was not making stupid comments here and there. So once again; It ain’t over til the fat lady sings. There is a very interesting rumor from behind the curtain. What they are concerned about is that Trump has raised more from small donors under $200 than any previous Republican in history. Even John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012 collected less than $64 million. They are concerned that more small people are donating to Trump and that means it is the small people who vote, whereas hedge fund managers and bankers can give her millions, but one vote. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/north_america/2016-u-s-presidential-election/are-they-planning-to-deny-the-election-if-trump-wins/

Poetry: Rumi On Perception

MYSTICAL PERCEPTION1 The five spiritual senses are linked with one another: all the five have grown from one root.2 The strength of one invigorates the others: each becomes a cupbearer to the rest. Vision increases the power of speech; the inspired speech makes vision more penetrating. Clairvoyance sharpens every sense, so that perception of the unseen becomes familiar to them all. When one sheep has jumped over a stream, the whole flock jump across on each other’s heels. Drive the sheep, thy senses, to pasture; let them browse in the verdant meadow of Reality, That every sense of thine may become an apostle to others and lead all their senses into that Paradise; And then those senses will tell their secret to thine, without words and without conveying either literal or metaphorical meanings.3 ~Rumi 1 Math. II, 3236. 2 The faculties of the soul, corresponding to the five bodily senses, are derived from the Universal Spirit and serve to manifest Divine attributes: they are not separate and distinct but involved in one another. As Edward Carpenter says, “this (mystical) perception seems to be one in which all the senses unite into one sense.” 3 The illumined saint comes as an apostle to shed light on all and guide them to the Truth. He reads their hearts by pure intuition; his knowledge is infallible, since it is not communicated to him by words, which could only be ambiguous and misleading.

Lost 16 pounds and loving the energy

Folks, A few months ago I began working for a new client who is a Purium Business Member. Her site promotes a home business opportunity with non GMO food. I was intrigued by the material and, frankly, need to loose a few pounds. I am happy to report that I lost 16 pounds doing the 10 day cleanse promoted by the Purium products, and have become a Purium Business Member myself. The Purium products are all green food. I have done a cleanse before using juices or fresh vegetables. This was my first time using Purium products ..... and what I found about myself was: - my relationship to food got transformed, I expereinced that I don't need to eat something when I crave food - it is possible to get protein from other sources than meat and still feel energized - having more than enough energy to get all my work done and still be energized ... without drugs and without eating a "meal" If you want more information, give me a call at (541) 200-5269. Ciao, Steu

21st Century Living - Living An Insightful Life

I was doing my laundry this morning, IMHO mundane tasks are a great opportunity to open myself to receiving divine wisdom, and came across three nuggets I want to share. They are focused on quantum living. As far as I can tell, people aware of these three points are excelling where others might be struggling or losing momentum. First, a quick definition on quantum living. Science today, in the West, has evolved to the point of understanding that perceptions influence matter. In The East, they have been aware of this since the beginning of time - plenty of books out there on that. But for Western science, this is a new news. (article) For the natural people, like me, that are searching their understanding and looking for more harmonious ways of life ... a gigantic step (leap of faith) is assimilating an understanding that thoughts we think create our life: perceptions, emotions that lead to interpreting situations, relationships .... From my experience, once you have a handle on that understanding (living in that faith), you begin to adjust to it, life takes some wonderful turns ... and some rude awakenings too. Back to my Sunday morning contemplation while doing the laundry ..... #1 You can only give to others, what you have about yourself This point is wisdom because, as you live it, you must imbibe it within you, which in turns cultivates a more insightful way to be - that naturally improves living in harmony with all living creatures. The most clearly I can see this wisdom is in love. The more I love myself, the more love I have to give others. The Beatles song had it right. - the patience you have with others (home, work, relationships) is the degree of patience you have with yourself - the beauty you see in others, is apparent to the degree of the beauty you see in your self - your own life. This wisdom is only apparent by my conscious effort of applying it. It's not just something I can think about and understand. I must apply it moment by moment. In terms of self development, personal growth .... whatever term best describes it to you ... this kinda inner work is what brings me an improved, tangible, quality in how I feel and think. #2 The situations in your life are a result of your habits (thinking, emotions) In my previous post I included a video by the author of The Science Of Changing Your Mind. He has some great research in his book. Thoughts are powerful because they do create your reality. Back in the 70's my mother brought home the Seth books which opened that door to me. There are several ways to begin to understanding the power of your thoughts. One is mentally and his video/book is an excellent resource for that. Another is by expanding your understanding of your emotions. I think Abraham Hicks is a good one for that venue, see her daily quote here. Third method is more of a body, mind, spirit approach and a study group has accomplished tremendous results for me. There two study courses on the left panel of this blog that I use and recommend. In order to expand your perceptions and free your self from the bondage of bad habits, you must acquire increasing degrees diligence and self love. "Learn to keep the door shut, keep out of your mind and out of your world, every element that seeks admittance with no helpful end in view." ~ George Matthew Adams #3 What you "know" is how you live, see, hear Unless one has found a great teacher or made some deep inroads into their spiritual awareness, for the most part, one spends their life building definitions to expand what they know. For example, public education teaches us, not how to do critical thinking, but how to assimilate logical interpretations and memorize facts and figures. For the majority of people today, the quagmire, that is invisible to them individually and collectively, is their thinking tendencies. "Here is the most significant thing that we want to say to you. It is not important to us what you believe because what you believe is yours to believe. It IS important to us, what we know to be. We have discovered that by knowing what we know, our life is one of joy, and you've discovered that by knowing what you know, your life is one of misery. We just want to explain to you that there are choices." ~ Abraham Hicks video Life is not a predetermined road map. We are the only one of us that can be flexible and spontaneous. Living in an openness, so as opportunities present themselves, we respond, not out of habitual complacency, but with a zest for living where we exercise inner courage, in the present moment, to live harmoniously.

Lifestyle: 21st Century Living - Be Present

Lately, I have been receiving massive insights and signals that the only clear path forward is being present - focused in this moment. The notion of 'being present" is counter-culture to my life and much of what I see around me. Geez, just have a conversation with anyone - about anything - and there is very little creation taking place. In my perception, we all just spend so much time explaining this and that. In those kinda conversations I don't feel empowered. I want my living to be inspired and energetic. Forget the medications and diseases. I want good health and clear vision. In that stream of life there is no one to blame and the only direction is forward. I don't spend time trying to reconfigure the past or change the opinions of another. Be Present "You must first have the knowledge of your power, second the courage to dare: third the faith to do so." ~ Charles Hannel, The Master Key System Personal Power This is not about the control or manipulation of others. Your power is derived from your own awareness of you. You cannot fake this and it takes time to develop. No overnight sensations in this arena. More than self brilliance or a shiny well spoken ego, we are speaking about recognition. You recognizing your inherent goodness. This is the rub, you have to give up your feelings of self doubt - unworthiness. Many people talk about it, but looking in the eyes of another you can feel if they are living their power - living in harmony with others with authentic sincerity. In this world today, you almost always have to bypass what come out of someone's mouth and feel what they are saying ... the life of intuiting. Face it, we live in a world dominated by negative information and people. To grasp your power, you have to find some wiggle room in your life to just be with yourself. Forgive yourself. Love yourself. Enjoy yourself. Celebrate this time just as it is. There are a ton of books and help to guide you in this remarkable process. Most important, you have to be willing to just let go of what doesn't make you feel good. And just the simple process of "letting go" can/will take you down thousands of mental rabbit holes. To bring your self back, just remember that you are focusing on being in harmony with life and enjoying yourself. Are you willing to take that step every day? I am. Are you willing to change the way you think? If not, stop reading this cause you are wasting your time. Courage Being brave is not the courage I am talking about here. Courage, in this process of recognizing your power, is loving and enjoying you. It's that simple. In the face of all the negativity we live in from society and opinions of others, are you willing to exercise the inner courage to enjoy you, have fun in your life, love yourself? Faith To be present, at some point in life you have to exercise your will by choice. That's making a conscious choice to be such and such or to do this and that. You can read all the books, watch all the videos but no new development will take place, within you, until you have the faith to go forward. About 30 years ago, I was at a turning point in my life. I was living in a new area, going through a divorce that was really rough, and starting a business. To this day, I remember a dream I had. I was in a cavern, underground cave, having fun hiking. All of a sudden, the path took me to the edge of a ravine. I could not see the bottom, it was pitch black. The way of returning back the way I had come was long and didn't seem to be an option. I was totally focused on getting across the ravine that was about a city block wide - too far to jump. There was light on the other side of the ravine. But, there was no way to cross ... just a lot of empty space. A voice seemed to well up inside me, telling me .... walk across. .... have the trust and do it ... no one can make you do this .... one step in front of the other .... just walk across. While the words sound simple, the feelings I was experiencing in the dream were profound. I was also terrified. Finally, after much consternation, I stepped off the ravine and then took another step. To my amazement, I seemed to be walking on air, or on an invisible bridge. While I was sweating profusely from being nervous, suddenly I began feeling the most joyful waves of peace and confidence rise and subside within me - over and over. I did get to the other side of the ravine - slowly, one step at a time - and when I reached the far side I was experiencing myself/life in new perceptions (impossible to put into words) ... and I almost immediately woke up ... still remembering - living the dream. For me, that dream points to the level of faith we all need to have about living. I think true faith is always within us - we have to exercise it. True faith doesn't rely on other people or situations to manifest anything. This true faith determines the quality of our life via our thinking because we steer our faith. Either consciously or unconsciously, our thoughts, driven by our faith (or lack of) create the life we live. Steu Mann is an entrepreneur and life coach to private people.

Currency RV: Iraqi DInar RV - fact or fiction

Folks, Much has been said about if the Iraqi Dinar will revalue, but you won't find the answers in MSM, i.e. the evening news or national magazines. Two facts to consider .... 1. If the Iraqi dinar WILL NOT RV then why does the UST (US Treasury) allow dealers to sell it ... who are in fact licensed by the UST? For example, Sterling or MS7 Group. Sure Sterling was shut down about 2 months ago but not for selling Dinar. They were closed because of tax evasion and civil complaint - there is no criminal complaint. If anyone reading this post can show me a news clip or article in MSM saying, "the selling of Dinar is a fraud and this is why Sterling was closed," I will buy you dinner and drinks. 2. Why did the US Department of State publish a report that said the Iraqi Dinar will indeed RV? Here is the link ... look on 14th page of PDF under New Currency, Fiscal and Monetary Policies ... http://www2.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB198/FOI%20Economy%20and%20Infrastructure.pdf To stay current on the news and weekly calls go to http://www.tntdinar.com/conference-call-notes.html. As of this date the international rates are.... Vietnamese Dong: $2.xx USD to on Dong Iraqi Dinar: $4.xx USD to one Iraqui Dinar Rupiah: $1.08 USD to one rupiah Zimbabwe: (drop six zeros on 100 trillion banknote) thirteen to twenty cents This post is for educational purposes only.

Lifestyle: Quality Living? Reinvention Necessary

There is so much culture in our life that directly influences the quality of our life - if we let it. All that culture, most of the time, pre-determining peoples thinking and therefore their perceptions. Culture is what you and I take for granted. What society in general agree on - or disagrees on. Is it beneficial or not? I believe it's all in how you choose to interpret it. Life is energy. What you live is up to you. This culture reaches far beyond politics, religion, and public education. For example, family is a good piece of culture. On TV, in the movies and sitcoms, you get used to thinking about family in a certain way. What a good parent is. What a bad parent is. The traits of a successful household, and so forth. Digesting the constant waves of information from MSM (main stream media) and the internet, barely leaves time for one to contemplate their own experiences - free of the society's influences. I think this is why so many people end up being confused and bewildered at just living ... why so many people are medicated in the USA. At an individual point of view, most people want to wiggle free and find their happy place. But, instead of finding the sanctuary of true personal freedom - genuine happiness, a more likely settling point is a favorite TV show, a movie, or the comfort of a personal habit. Genuine happiness does not rely on another or any outside situation or influence. Genuine happiness is a treasure each person gives to them self from their own heart. I believe that the divine plan is people being happy. In this day and age, to live that simple quality means living in your world first. Caring for yourself first. And, living in harmony with all living creatures. Contrary to what we have been taught, money is secondary in life. The primary goal must be to understand our self, live in harmony with our self .... love, abundance, and prosperity will naturally follow. 1. Thoughts make perceptions Thinking makes something so. Thinking creates what you are and who you are ... what comes out of your mouth. Unfortunately, in today's culture, we automatically believe something because someone else told us that. To move forward with living life freshly, you must take the time to sort out your thoughts, which means you will unravel your perceptions. This is an uncomfortable process and there is no prescription or recipe for it. Plus, it takes time, unlike driving through the golden arches for a 'healthy' dinner. The first step, make a commitment to your self each day to watch your thoughts and being sorting them out. Choose what to think and what to not think. What makes you feel better? Choose more of those thoughts. This effort takes remarkable diligence to maintain ... and then to live ... than it does to talk about it. 2. Habits become invisible Some habits are easy to see. Like going to the bathroom when you get up from sleeping overnight. Or, taking the dog for a walk at a certain time each day. The real igniter of your freedom, or lack of freedom, are the invisible habits you have. Like, why you believe such and such about so and so. Or, why do you always feel angry at so and so or when such and such happens? Remember, it is never about the other person or situation. It is always you. If I get angry when Jayne goes out with another man, then the buck falls in my lap to sort that out and come into harmony. The joy or anger we experience arises within us. Do you have the courage to be your own teacher? When you come to realize, the source of your experience is within you, then you have made a significant step on your spiritual path. Taking this step is an expression of true wisdom, cultivating understanding within you to improve the quality of your life, while living in harmony with others. 3. Focus on You, let the world unfold as it may No one else matters. I remember that sometimes, years ago, when I would receive a great insight about my life ... I would want to share it with my wife or friend. They never truly got it. For a while I felt disappointed or made a silent judgment they were not ready for this 'type of living'. Actually, it was/is unfair for me/you to judge another in any way. The truth is I had a expectation that did not get met. So what. Let it go and move on. No harm done. All this is to say, don't let other people invalidate your experiences. If you have an expectation that doesn't get met, are you going to let it invalidate your experience? If so, it's a sign that you rely on others for agreement to believe in yourself. IMHO, there is not much happiness in that exchange. There is a tangible nectar in trusting your own experiences that no one can give you or take away from you. That kinda living is a different world than the homogenized culture that is so prevalent today. Your inner courage, developed over time by cultivating your inner wisdom, sustains you. Gone are the days of having to run around to tell everyone, to explain your life, so they will agree with what you are living. To live fully in this present time, you must focus in the present moment, which can only be accomplished by honoring your experiences. This honor takes place when you are connected with your heart to recognize that everyone has their perfect place - everything is as it should be. You are not here to save anyone. In fact, you cannot save anyone. The best effort you can BE is living the wisdom you have found - continue to find - while you live in harmony with others.

Lifestyle: 21st Century Living - embrace change

In my own journey, one powerful method to insightful living is embracing change. It is easy to get stuck listening to the tapes and 'same ole stories' circulating in the mind. Are you willing to 'let go' of that and move into fresh experiences? Keep in focus, that the only true tool one has these days is creative thought. If you have not discovered the power of creative thinking in your life, your journey, then up until now, most likely, you living is truly a vacuum with very little - if any creative energy. Feeling dull and wasted .... part of the blob without a noticeable impetus for living? I assume, if you are reading this, then you are either ready to get tuned into the power of creative thought, or you are - right now - having a trustful insight into the only method to move forward ... using creative thought to propel your living ..... The most growth possible here is 1) realizing you can tune your self, at will, into focusing on creative thought, and 2) acknowledging that you have reached a point in your development where you can distinguish what creative thought is, which is a gigantic step in waking up to your personal power. ..... having gained those insights, the next step is embracing whatever change is taking place in your life by infusing it with your creative thought. - What do you want the end result to be? - Where do you want to end up in the situation you are encountering? - Who is involved in this outcome with you? This one point is not the most powerful - keep that in check ... you can only use your creative thought for yourself - tryng to include anyone else in your results is just horse puckey. Yes, prayer always works with good intentions for those involved. But, don't kid yourself - you cannot impact the life stream of anyone else with your creative thought. At least not at this level. For goodness sakes, just focus on yourself and stop trying to save the world. Remember, after all, the world is no more than your perception. If all the people in this world, lived the perception that their life was an amazing journey filled with Grace and Love, then our planet would be in a very different outcome right now. Move forward with baby steps, just take care of yourself - one day at a a time - and embrace change(s) with creative thinking. Stay focused on yourself ... swim in appreciation that you have consciously received this information. Hunker down with your inner courage and heed the call to develop who you are right now in peace, prosperity and health. Steu Mann is an entrepreneur and life coach to private people.

Freedom Dancing - living your Truth

"Once I have left you go, like to give myself a night of sleep, I don't expect you to have found your 'soul partner' or to immediately act on it, while I am gone. It's up to your own nature if you do something outlandish or 'out of character.' You can all be only your own true aspirations. Otherwise it would not even come up like this. It's okay to appear crazy now and then. Mostly, we have to act appropriately in this world as it is, and yet there are times when no one cares what on earth we do. During such times, neither should we. Please don't make efforts to 'fit in' like an extra clone you have at your disposal. Break all the rules and create a great disturbance. 90% will see you as totally crazy; 10% will feel grateful for such a sterling example of how to be. Those 10% are worthy to learn something new and expand their consciousness. These are the ones we strive to find, and to leave them all with the pathway to the Truth--Info about the Course and a complimentary Lesson." ~DR Butler For info and that special lesson, simply write: drbutler.course@gmail.com What harm could it do to learn what we have to offer? The writings will not bore you, unless you are a boring person. Investigate with an open heart and an open mind what is actually available. Just a few of you, as it has always been, will be totally surprised by what happens as a result.
