Empowering Entrepreneurs in Body, Mind, and Spirit
How’s the grind feeling for you this week? Is it exciting and life-giving? Or is it feeling more overwhelming and stressful?
In the midst of the busyness and endless to-do’s of the workweek, and it can be easy to lose track of what is actually the ultimate goal that we’re striving towards.
This is where the importance of vision comes in.

One of these such people is Jay Abraham. Jay Abraham is a legendary marketing consultant and business strategist who’s helped clients create over $20B in new value over his career. I personally find Jay to be a very enlightened fellow and his now famous Strategy of Preeminence has totally transformed my approach and orientation to my business life.

It’s not that positive thinking is the magic pill, but it’s recognizing that:
1) Our thinking is the foundation of the actions we choose to take and not to take based on what we believe is possible
2) Our thinking acts a filter on reality either revealing or concealing the opportunities constantly flowing through our life.
I really appreciate all the responses to last week’s article Inspiration: Why Failure is Just a Story You’re Telling Yourself. I’m glad you guys really enjoyed it!
The quality of the self-talk in our minds in the present moment is a direct reflection of what’s possible in our life going forward.
So how exactly do we harness this power of self-talk to transform our life trajectory? One easy way is through loving-kindness meditation.
Loving-kindness meditation is quick and simple. The science shows it increases positive emotions, decreases migraines, decreases chronic pain, decreases symptoms of PTSD, and activates empathic processing in the brain. It’s also effective even in small doses. Super high performers such as Tim Ferriss have touted its benefits.
Take some time this week or this weekend and try this
13-minute loving-kindness meditation.

Think Oprah Winfrey, or Steve Jobs, or even Coach Boone from Remember the Titans.
Or, the political examples of Martin Luther King, Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, and Mahatma Gandhi. These figures literally possessed the ability to move millions and shape history with the power of speech.
Speech, when directed with consciousness, clarity, and energy, holds the tremendous potential to motivate, inspire, and impel the world towards action.
With a bit of awareness, you too can harness this transformational power within yourself to alter your life completely.
