If it feels good to burp...then let it ring!!!

Who generates the barriers that shape the walls commonly called limitations? Was it a first grade teacher who demanded you sit in an unpadded seat and not move until she gave clearance to Clarence in the front row with the restroom pass? Might it have been the parental figures constantly driving stakes into your dreams of pulling off an Evil Kinevil style jump over three kids on a shaky Stingray bicycle with a fancy banana seat?



Nobody walks this earth without pursuing growth and expansion. Each shape is unique and always in question but its energy is what feeds your personal ability to overcome limitations such as physical, weakness or financial.



The moment you’re introduced to a new skill, knowledge or creative action, life enhancement is introduced to that irritating inner voice, “Get a life or I’m finding a new human!”



August 1997…an assumed everyday average day of writing before sunrise turns into a life changing experience. As a writer, I refuse to use ink pens, choosing instead to wallow in wells, probably inspired by Laura Ingles from Little House on the Prairie or my mother who never stops telling the tales of the boys in class who dipped her long braids in the jars of expression creating quite the exaggeration. When placing the nib of the fountain pen within the wakes of soon to be, it becomes too easy to spill the ink. I did, all over my daily writing. It took the shape of the perfect wine glass. What? How? Where did this come from? Once you’ve been touched by the angels who paint, like any other addiction, it never goes away…you learn how to deal with it.



Today, during the worst of challenges, rather than speedily wreaking havoc on an endeavor to become angry, it fascinates the inner voice to patiently sit back and watch as each domino falls into its unpredictable place revealing newer areas to locate ideas that would’ve never reached my writing instrument if they hadn’t been part of a bad day first.



Putting trust in the present transforms into tranquility and power.



To attain such presentation requires only one thought…become friends with your current situation. To form means limitations. Gain the confidence to reach outward by means of accepting your present.



Everyone has limitations! I refuse to do a five forty Tae Kwon Do kick…one and a half spins in the air, hook kick before landing on the opposite foot. Convinced that I have my limitations, to perform such a kick requires a mindset two decades younger and a skill level that puts the martial art first in your life and not behind all things included on a laundry list of expectations.



No person leaves this soil without encountering their limitations. We’ve all been introduced to the friends and family members who’ve elected to never change and the coworkers who do nothing but constantly change. When your limitations become trapped that creates reaction and or an intense surges of unhappiness to which you attempt to escape but after one or several years of attempts its just one of those things you’ll never accomplish.



Spilled ink on daily writing has taken my art as far away as New Orleans. Not performing a five forty kick might keep me from having a third degree black belt wrapped around my thickening waist this October 19th. How can the art reach Seattle? What can I do to enter a realm of self confidence that picks this aging body high enough off the floor to quickly spin, hook kick then land like an Olympic gymnast?



Author, motivator and spiritualist Eckhart Tolle embraces the vision by teaching you the importance of a surrendered state of consciousness. Live in the present.



How often has someone accused you of being too deep? One who puts dimension in life and depth locates infinite value.



The current financial crisis and horrid recession is a great example and should be studied in the way of offering your imagination a free education. For nearly two years those close to me have heard one thought, “The cream has finally been given the chance to rise to the top.” Nearly every company in all four corners of the world is being forced to reshape and in the process millions of hard working dedicated and loyal employees are finding themselves in situations of discomfort.



Now is your time to rise. Now is the time for you to put forth the effort and energy into everything you’ve always wanted to be. By being locked in a career or job that’s brought unfavorable personalities out of the skin you carry, you’ve been blessed with a new beginning and its going to take that child you once were to ignore your parents and lift that Stingray upward and out over those three nervous bodies below.



Spill your ink! Leap high into the air and kick! It doesn’t matter how ugly and distorted it looks to the rest of the world…you did it! Now practice it over and over again. You cannot be a master at one thing unless you’ve performed it ten thousand times. As I near my 1,560th week of broadcasting that leaves the door wide open for the opportunity to never stop being the student. If my cards are played out properly…the radio industry should finally call me a true professional by the year 2125. I can’t wait!



Limitations…



If limitations controlled my sister Susan then her forty four year search for a father we never met would’ve have been obsolete. Eliminating limitations brought to an end another journey…Jamie and Irene no longer have to search from their end of the playing field. Our father has passed but his children remain and for the first time ever, the circle is complete. To make matters more unreal…Irene lives in North Carolina and has caught my radio show several times never realizing she was my sister.



Limitations…



Steal my sister Susan's art…
