All I Ask Of You

"All that love asks for is love." -Joseph A. Primm

That's all He asks of you...love that is, (page 55).

Believe

""Never look back unless you are planning on going that way."." -Henry David Thoreau

I would imagine you are like most every other human on this planet. You have dreams of being more successful, or earning more money. You have dreams of greatness for your children or renewed health when pain fills every move you make. There are those that hope for love or friendship and those that want for a better life. All of us dream of things during our life time.

The problem can be with the belief we have in that dream. How strongly do you believe in what it is you want for your life? How large is the faith in what is to come versus what has happened? There are many people that want, dream, yearn for all of these things in life. But their belief is more centered on the past as opposed to their future.

A woman may want for a relationship that is filled with love and comfort, but she dwells on past relationships. When she gets close to a man, her belief in something good is outweighed by belief in what has happened previously. The negative things that have happened in her life win out every time with belief in the past.

A man looks to advance in his job, a new promotion and responsibility. He becomes a candidate for a new position but it will require interviews and rising above the competition. Yet if he chooses to believe in his past experience, he condemns his future. He will be his own worst competition to moving forward in life.

All of us tend to give way too much credit for our past mistakes or stumblings. We have life's experience behind us, but life moves forward from where you are today. Life forward from the past, not towards it; it is today that counts. Where you stand, the person that you are right now, this very moment is where you begin.

The past is the past and you need to let it go. You need to reverse your thinking to a forward looking direction. Stop believing in what has gone wrong and believe in what will happen moving forward. Believe in the impossible and make it real.

Start living your life with forward momentum, believing in your future and leaving behind what has gone wrong in the past. What the past says is impossible, tomorrow says it is possible. Tomorrow brings fresh hope, fresh opportunity and fresh belief in that possibility.

What of Valentines Day

"Love is the difficult realization that something other than oneself is real." -Iris Murdoch

There remain only a few short weeks before that mid-winter celebration called Saint Valentine's Day. A day, February 14, celebrating love and affection. People express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering sweets or candies, and sending greeting cards.


Valentine's Day is a day dedicated to love and all that love is. No surprise to my regular readers, I have a book out called Love Is, which explores the greatest love story ever told. But do you know how we came to celebrate love on this day?


Watch the video below from "The History Channel" to find out some of the mystery behind that question. This short video gives you the background into the day known as Saint Valentine's Day. After you learn about the celebration of love, why not order my book Love Is and find out what "love is".



This important holiday is coming quickly. Plan now to make it a special time to show your love. It doesn't have to be a grand gesture. Many times the simple things are the grandest of all. And while Valentine's Day may have a varied history, the story of what Love Is will go on forever. Love will remain a powerful force in your life.

Stay inspired my friends.

Love Is Here

Navin R. Johnson: The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here!
Harry Hartounian: Boy, I wish I could get that excited about nothing.
Navin R. Johnson: Nothing? Are you kidding? Page 73 - Johnson, Navin R.! I'm somebody now! Millions of people look at this book everyday! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity - your name in print - that makes people. I'm in print! Things are going to start happening to me now.
-From 1979 movie The Jerk

Navin is quite correct, "things are going to start happening to me now." My new book called "Love Is" has arrived on the virtual shelves. And I'm as excited as Navin is regarding its release. I truly believe I'm getting better at this!

"Love Is" is available in both paperback and eBook formats. A story of one man's journey to figure out what love is, stories of what others did in the name of love and an exploration of the greatest love story ever told. This book will change your view on what love is meant to be. It will show you just how powerful love can be in your life.

What a great revolution it would be if more people learned how the true meaning of love could lift them even higher. If millions of people got a fresh way of understanding how love moves in their life, the change would be dramatic.

So get excited about your life. Be part of the millions that will learn what "Love Is" this Valentines Day. Let love move you to greatness. And most important, stay inspired my friends.
