We Are All Gold Inside!

12/30/2014

The image above reminds me of The Story of the Golden Buddha

The brief idea is that a golden Buddha was covered up with clay one day when an army was coming to invade. It worked, as the army didn’t steal or destroy it. However, everyone forgot it was golden underneath until a long time later when a young boy accidentally bumped some clay off. He saw the gold beneath. He called everyone else and they picked off the clay to reveal the glorious, golden Buddha.

There is a parallel for us in this story. Here’s my take on it, as it stands right now. We’re all “golden” at our cores. Our spirits are “gold” (and we all have the same gold!!) and then we’re born with a physical body and mind. This is the beginnings of the clay. During our lives we add more and more clay. We get to like the clay. We think our clay is better than other people’s clay. We forget that we are gold underneath. Hopefully, at some point in our lives, a bit of our clay breaks off and we see some gold. Once that happens, we’ll probably spend the rest of our lives trying to get the clay off and rejoicing in the gold we can see beneath. The important point for me is that we ALL have the same gold beneath all sorts of various clays that we’ve constructed over the years. At the level of the gold, nobody is better or worse than anybody else. I find this thought inspiring.

How Does a Homeless Man Spend $100

12/29/2014

Came across this touching story on YouTube, I hope you enjoy.

I wasn't expecting to get this kind of footage... to be honest, I thought this video would be more an exposing homeless people video at first. But I'm so glad that I could witness and capture such a beautiful moment. This has to be one of the most amazing experience so far on this channel. I did not only just help a homeless man, but I actually met an incredible human being and a friend. We were following him for a couple miles for almost an hour or so. Later that day we took him out to eat and got him a hotel to stay. The more I talk to him, the more I sense how genuine he is.... I gave him my number and told him to call me when he needs help. This again proof that not all the homeless people are bad people. Never judge a book by its cover. One love! :)

This Surprising New Year's Resolution Could Transform Your Life

As we approach the New Year, I know I am not the only one who is getting tired. But now is precisely the time to make huge changes, right? We can do better! We can run faster! We can eat more kale … all in 2015.

Hm, let's think about that further. Goal setting is a wonderful thing. It is what inspires us to leave a prone, passive position in our lives. However, the excess of "doing better" can have us running at a frenetic pace. We try answering every chirp of our Smartphones, while logging our workouts and baking a cake from scratch. Especially in today's age of constant communication, the decision to

Why Mindset Is The Most Vital Component To Your Success

If you are running your business without a marketing plan, a daily method of operation and the right mindset you will find yourself quickly lost and end up being a master of Facebook applications, spider solitaire and Twitter conversation instead of building your business.

Personal development is often misunderstood, positive thinking alone will not produce any great results, it is only when you put your thoughts into action that results will come your way.

If you are relying on yourself to find the mental strength to stay focused on business building activities instead of becoming distracted then you
