As a scientist I have always believed in laws.  Laws of Thermodynamics, I was living by them and still do.  I always wondered about the connection between physical laws and what happens in our spiritual thoughts.  was there a connection?  I began to study (and I do everyday) not just science but different faith-based systems, never coming to a satisfactory answer that satiates my hunger for the unknown.

I began digging deeper.  There must be connection between what we imagine and think and how it becomes something physical. Just as a gas in nature is not visible yet subjected to physical changes of pressure and temperature it can become a solid physical substance. I have always accepted the fact that the energy in the universe is constantly changing from one form to another. I see it everyday before my eyes.   It is neither created  nor destroyed (1st law of Thermodynamics)but it is constantly changing, like a melodic motion seen in waves in the ocean.

So, I asked this question:  Can a THOUGHT be like an invisible form of a substance? And, can it transform into a solid form if subjected or focused (much like pressure)? And in theory, any thought we have, that we creatively conjure up, when focused will come into fruition.

The key here is creative THOUGHT and secondly constant FOCUS.  Back to the scientific analogy, if gas vapor is not pressured it will not turn into a liquid form and consequently, that liquid will not become a solid (i.e. Ice).

So what are we to do as free thinking human beings?

This is the single most important question we ask ourselves when we are faced with the future of our lives.

We can choose to allow forces of nature create our reality (outside influences, what others say, what happens in the world) or we can have a creative thought of what we want to become and “stick” to it with all of our energy, focused and positively charged emotions.

That separates the extraordinary from the rest.

This idea is not new, it has been studied and proven many times over.  It has been given names and titles by different scientists, philosophers, authors, gurus and motivational thinkers.  It is in every religion in the world.  It is the common thread, yet people fight over the semantics. Instead of burning their energy focusing on their creative thought they focus it on fighting with others. And, the outcome is war and hate and destruction. There must be a better way.

I personally call it CREATIVE THOUGHT.  That definition works for me and I am not going to argue with a scientist, religious scholar or a  self-help guru over nuance. I respect each person’s personal autonomy in what they choose to believe. It is better that way.

Another world cup analogy(seems befitting!): Germany vs. Spain was a clear example of two concepts, one showed that having all the skills yet forgetting to bring the emotion and passion leads to no result. It’s like sitting on a bicycle but not using the pedals–naturally the result is no movement.

Two, hitting road blocks and walls should not discourage one as persistence and creative ways to get results wins. Spain demonstrated that very well with creative passing and an unconventional goal, by their standards.

Applying these two principles will help you in life too!

I wish you passion, persistence, success and love.

Let’s face it: most of the time when something goes wrong the first thing we do is look for someone(usually not ourselves) or something to BLAME!

I suggest a different way to approach this dilemma. Here it goes:

All things happen because there was a thought that preceded a series of actions that gave a result.  Thoughts are created by us, our ideas. We act on them and we get the results. If things go well, we are happy and say to ourselves: “I did that” but when things go horribly wrong we say: ” It was so and so’s fault!“  Why is it that we take responsibility for good things and relinquish it, blame someone else,  when the opposite happens? Because it’s the easy way out.

In a way we, we create a mental prison for ourselves by not taking FULL responsibility for the results that we got! and we sit there cycling through our own convoluted mental labyrinth of blame! And we become more angry at someone or something that we have no control over(economy, war, the guy who cut you off on the road…etc.)  This self-imposed mental pressure kills a person literally from inside out.

I have a suggestion(of course after I read an article by Bob Proctor-a great mentor):

Take responsibility for how you FEEL about what you accomplish(your results.)

It is choice. Simply, you can say ” I did this.” Good or bad, I did it. Or, you can cycle back into the blame game. If your results were bad it is most likely due to the thought that you started out with. Deep down you may have not been a 100% clear about what you really wanted.  I mean 100% clear–having a “fuzzy” idea does not cut it! Because “fuzzy” goals or ideas bring about “fuzzy” results!

When you take responsibility you gain control of your life and refuse to allow other people and circumstances control you.

You become powerful!

Sure, you might hit a few snags along the way but if you have confidence in what you really want you will find a way to make it happen. truly, if you have a solid idea and you have passion, the way to your results finds itself, you just have to action toward your goal and believe! wishing it alone doesn’t make it true! Step by step each result builds on another and you may take a small step back and tweak things, then ramp it up and make a huge leap…… but it starts with taking responsibility and eliminating the word and thought BLAME from your vocabulary!  Things happen and how we choose to look at them, our perspective, makes the difference.

I’ll leave you with a quote from George Bernard Shaw:

“…..The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, they make them.”

I wish you success, confidence and love.

Calmness…….

Think about it for a second.  What does it really mean to you?

I personally look at it this way:  Everyday I am exposed to millions of images, sounds, thoughts.  I am  bombarded.  If I would let every single one of those outside items affect me, or form my actions I would be a zombie. I have no internal creativity as a result because outside forces, people, things suck my energy out and I unwittingly let it happen!

The truth is, most of us are that way.  Most of us let that be the norm.  Most of us are O.K. with it. Truly, deep inside are we really calm? Are we really clear about what we want?

I see everyday that individuals, even groups of people start with and focus on the results (most of the time failures happening as a result of external forces) which cause thoughts (negative ones) that produce feelings (of failure) that translate into actions (filled with such failures).  That cycle produces worry, grief and uneasiness.

Here is a little gem about what it really means to be calm.  When we become aware of the fact that when we start with our thoughts which produce feelings and those feelings propel us into action that ultimately produce results, then we can rest assured that the external forces do not control us.  That is a calming in itself!

I’ll leave this post with one last thought.  When one becomes self-aware and understands one’s own ability to create and generate creative ideas,  then one will CALMLY give energy to what one wants. And, as Ralph Waldo Emerson said: ” The only thing that can grow is the thing you give energy to.”

I have been waiting for a flower bud to bloom for a week….. It’s been raining a lot here and virtually no sun.

Naturally, the grass had grown uncontrollably and the weeds were a plenty! So all week I was bothered by the fact that I had not had the time to get to see what became of the flower bud as I was preoccupied by the grass and the weeds!

After a thorough mowing and weed-picking I was drained but I managed
to squeeze in a few minutes watching that bud bloom into a flower literally before my eyes. It was amazing.

I couldn’t help but to think about life
As we all go through it and how this little everyday experience is profoundly similar to our daily battles.

Stay with me……

We go through our days sometimes doing things that we don’t like to do, or have to do, many things that we think are vital to our survival and problems that we need to “weed out”.

We put ALL of our energy into, we feed & water those things because what we think about and put our energy into, in a way, tendszt to grow. We forget and push aside the beautiful, positive things ( positive thoughts) that we truly care for and are passionate about. We either don’t see or they fail to bloom in front of our eyes.

Somethings, some ideas, bloom when time and conditions are right. Sometimes there are many ideas, many little buds and maybe one of them blooms and the other ones remain simply because………. You can fill in the blank!

If you need inspiration look at the bud and the flower I admired today:

Throughout history we have seen conflicts and war.  We’ve also seen spirit of cooperation to further the human spirit.  It is now time again to embrace this idea.  Whether it is in politics, in economics or in close human relations….it is imperative that we move toward each other.  All of our actions have consequences. Good or bad, they do!  So today I think of synergy.  Of working together!

I envision something, maybe a premonition about a movement where actions towards one another in a positive direction boomerang…..This will be the new social media, the new social and universal proof that good always expands despite the illusion to the contrary! As a natural by-product of this we all benefit, we become WEALTHY in every sense of the word!

In all aspects of our lives we are faced with roadblocks. We hit a wall, a challenge. In doing so, we have three choices:

1.  Back away, go back to the way things were so we don’t have to manage the fact that there is a wall there! MOST of us do this! It is the easiest thing to do and we are “happy” going back to our comfort zone.

2. Freeze at the wall! As funny as that sounds, SOME of us do this. We just hang.  indecision-city! Like a computer that has to handle too many commands and it literally freezes!

3. Break through the wall! Truthfully, only a FEW of us actually do this.  On the other side we see the reward!

Why does this happen? what’s the solution?  I will shed more light on that in my future posts!

This quote by Bob Proctor below should give some insight:

“Refuse to let your present results influence your thinking. Keep reminding yourself that you have a power within you that is superior to any condition or circumstance you may encounter enroute to your goal.”

I know that this is pretty vague but I will shed more light on this soon.

Just remember that with positive thoughts, working in synergy with everything and everyone around us and most importantly taking action we ensure success, happiness and yes……wealth(in every sense of the word)!

Until next time,

For the longest time I thought that my life was controlled by external forces such as economy, geographic limitations, financial limitations, language, family issues….shall I go on with this list?  On my last birthday I had an epiphany.  I started learning and searching and reading in more depth than I had ever done before. I suddenly started to see things through a different lens:

My own

I figured out that everything that has happened to me is due to a series of thoughts and actions I personally took, or actually in many cases ACTIONS that I did not take!  I had let many things in my life be decided for me and I LET them happen. I had been faced with a challenge (the WALL) and I chose the safe,  the easy way. I allowed myself to fall back to my comfort zone  and until that moment of realization I had my future decided and defined.

What did I realize?  Well, very simply that I had relinquished my ability to control my future by allowing my thoughts to be aligned with my surroundings, the people around me……. and many of those influences were not the right ones for me.  I am not saying they were right or wrong as if I am passing judgment on them, no.. not at all.  They were just not right for me.  But at that time I did not even know clearly what and who I wanted to be, or I had allowed other influences and people define who I needed to be!   The epiphany was profound, the realization was extremely life changing.

I had all these years been a victim of my own inability to take responsibility to be who I wanted to be!!!

Say that ten times in a row! Such a convoluted web that was!

How to get out of it?

In short:

1. Plant the idea of being exactly who you envision yourself to be….

2. Feed that seed with positive thoughts despite evidence to the contrary(i.e. break through the wall)

3. Take action on those positive thoughts

4. Ramp it up with elements around you(people, circumstances) that resonate with you! That’s Synergy!

There are so many example that one can use in one’s own life. If any of the ideas above struck a chord with you,  I encourage you to write about them.  Send  us your comments, feel free to share your experiences with us.  Through synergy we all learn too!

Until next time,

Wishing success for you all,

How is it that some people learn things so quickly and others have to struggle….

Have you tried to read a book or an article to find yourself being distracted by something and then you are back at the beginning, rereading the same paragraph for the 5th time!?

Is it because one person is more of a “genius” than the next? Are some people inherently smarter than others or is in application of one’s abilities?

I welcome your thoughts and insights on the subject!

I have my own ideas but I will wait to share them with you later!

Until next time,

Wishing success for you all,

Well, I’m going to use a quote from William Dempster Hoard:

” Happiness doesn’t depend on what we have, but it does depend on how we feel toward what we have. we can be happy with little and miserable with much.”

I suppose I can sit here and debate merits of wealth and how some rather “wealthy” people met such unfortunate unhappy endings but that would a gross over generalization. Instead, I will illustrate a very important point by posing  two questions:

Do we truly believe that we deserve to be happy?

Do we truly believe that we deserve to be wealthy?

Most people associate wealth with money, material things (although, it is true that those material things do make life  a little easier)but……the truth of the matter is that in our own thoughts do we feel good about accomplishing something that in turn makes us Happy? And as a result of that makes us wealthy?  or are we entrapped within guilt and shame associated with those few bad examples of the corrupt few?

My point is:  it boils down to a mental barrier (the WALL) we put upon ourselves.  It is truly our thoughts within us that prevent us from accomplishing true happiness! And Wealth along with it… hey that’s added bonus!

I will in later posts use a concept I learned from materials I learned from someone with a first hand experience with these challenges to help shed some light on this!

To your success and health, as always

Today I am a little bit off the normal subjects I write about but I still think there is a connection.  I am never the type to have linear thought process.  In fact,  I am against it! World comes at us from many directions, in a chaotic whirlwind fashion. So why do we have to look at things and write in a manner that is in the exact opposite way the nature is intended to be…….Now, before you go on and say that I am full of you-know-what hear me out.

I have been studying my young kids patterns and behaviors for the past 4 1/2 years.  Also have been studying their learning patterns too.  From the time they were conceived they process was not linear( in fact, when we look at the moment of conception there are millions of sperms trying to to enter the egg but they are not all lined up in  queue…quite the contrary, they are surrounding the eggs from every possible angle X, Y and Z axes(to get nerdy on you!) but once that conception occurs it is a beautiful thing! Side note: I don’t take that process very lightly and I know that there are many people who struggle with that(i.e infertility) as many of us take it for granted. But there is help out there for the frustrated parents-wannabees! back on track now,  Try following a 1 and 1/2 year old for 10 minutes! do you think there is a pattern? He/she picks up a toy here, within 20 seconds it’s off to the drawers and everything is out in less than 10 seconds…then off to the kitchen and all the utensils are on the floor, 5 seconds later there is temper tantrum over nothing…shall I go on???? Maybe, a pattern of Chaos!!! But, the THOUGHT process for the child is the key: it wants to learn but not in a linear way!!! But, again it is a beautiful thing because at the end what matters the most is this:

Someone learned something whether it was from trial and error or if it was the pain of being unable to conceive and trying again or if it was the first words that were uttered by the little Tasmanian Devil!

The commonality in all this is that all of these experiences start with a seed, really a THOUGHT and once they are nourished properly then the flower.

Sometimes all the right things are there but nothing seems to come to fruition.  Our tendency is to become frustrated and throw in the towel but keeping steadfast to the dream, the THOUGHT(with all parties involved and in SYNERGY) the right things will appear. I’ll say it again, with ALL parties involved and on board! That’s when patience and  a little gratitude will go a long way.  I am reminded of a simple concept:

If you plant a seed in the soil in the spring and water it and allow the sun to nourish it, you will most likely have a growing bud by the summer!

If you plant that same seed in late fall, water it, give it the light that it needs, it won’t bud in the winter…… but come early spring it might!

All in due time!

Again, a little patience and gratitude will go a long way and keeping steady on course with the original thought!

See? non-linear thing isn’t so bad after all! From conception to fruition it may take many twists and turns but it will make it after all!

I always wonder about forces in nature. There are polar opposite forces at play in everything we see and experience physically. Let’s face it: there are forces that keep life going and once the machinery in our bodies stops:…… Yes,  the obvious occurs.

The apple falls from the tree branch on top of Sir Issac Newton’s head…His head breaks the force of gravity, aside from the obvious PAIN he experiences but as  a consequence he discovers the law of gravity… a surprising positive in light of a negative.

So, what is the point of this little mental exercise? In every occurrence in life, and I am taking about the abstract stuff not specifically the physical manifestations, like the loss of a loved one or getting laid off, maybe addition of a new member to the family or acceptance to a prestigious college…take your pick; There exists an opposite of the same degree or force.  The occurrence itself is not as important as it is relative to something else that makes us judge the situation. The flip side of each life experience is always worth exploring and even embracing!

We know that life has its ups and downs. And there are times when we are tested, and tested , and tested some more.  When something is so bad that we can not bear to even think about it, here within it we WILL find something EQUALLY good. OPPOSITE and EQUAL. We need to look for it, though.

That is the challenge

And it gets better when we exercise that mental muscle……

Give it try.  Start with the most trivial things first!  Trust me, the next time you had to stop at that red light and you were in a hurry to get somewhere,

THINK

about the extra 3 minutes that you have to wait and what that would have given you if you were ahead!  Maybe, something not so pleasant could have happened ahead of you and you stopping at that light saved your life?  I know, I am using an extreme example, but try it.

Would you share about your experiences?

Sometimes, inspiration can come from most unlike places. Last week, after below freezing temperatures, I was about to take out the dead flowers in the pots. This week, much to my surprise, the temps rose again and little purple flowers

started to bloom once more. That’s a testament to perseverance…even though a seed, a thought, may seem dead and lost–it will flourish IF and WHEN it is nourished.

I recently saw a video by Tony Robbins (yes, the infamous Tony Robbins–the man who does not like to be labeled “motivational speaker”) and what he said struck a chord with me. So here are the keys to success(with a little help from Mr. Robbins for his wonderful insights and energy)

1. Feed and Control your Mind. In essence what we feed our minds tends to manifest before us, if it is fear we will experience it every step of the way, if it is bliss and happiness, it shall be so! How to do this? Read, engage in an activity that motivates you in a positive direction….and no watching TV does not really count because it is predigested information. READ! And repeat what you have read and leaned to yourself!

2. Feed and Strengthen your Body. Let’s face it: mind and body are connected, I know it sounds trite but it’s true! If your body is weak and uninspired and unmotivated, then your mind can not accomplish all the positive ideas and thoughts! Start with something, anything that makes your muscle move and your heart pump. Your heart, literally needs to feel alive again! put your shoes on and walk a little, then run……run human run!

3. Find a Role Model that Inspires you. Whether it is someone you look up to and want to emulate or if it is someone who has had it so bad and made it through that you’d think if you are thankful that you are not in his or her situation. Learn about what they did to get to where they are now.

4. Take MASSIVE Action. Do something, start somewhere instead of spending your time just planning for the perfect conditions. As you start to create, then you will figure out the way…. opportunities and roads open up in front of you. progress and creation= happiness. Your intuition will guide you through as long as you have the first three steps locked in! But the magic happens in the final step…

5. Feed your Spirit. Be grateful for what you have in life and in return give something to ones who are not fortunate. This is not just once a year for thanksgiving, it’s as many much as you can.

I do want to again credit Mr. Robbins with this inspiration. although I have been talking about these steps here and there in my previous posts, I think he sums it up nicely.

How do we break the power that fear and anxiety have over us? Here are 7 quick steps: 1. Know that it is ok to feel the fear because it might give us warning of what to prepare for, afterall we do have a fight or flight response we do need to protect ourselves from dangers but unnecessary, self-imposed fear is another subject! But it is OK to feel that fear, let’s you know you’re human! 2. Tell yourself all the great reasons you need to break free from it. AND, Write on paper because it makes it real and now you have something to focus your attention on! 3. Visualize the positive outcome even though it’s not done yet! YES, it sounds hokey but trust me on this. The next point drives it home! 4. Know that no matter what happens, you are no better or worse off than when you started. Pretty self-explanatory, right? 5 . Don’t just hang, take the action preferably towards that positive outcome you just visualized. The worst thing to do is to sit there and replay the actual fear in your heads instead of doing something about it! 6. When it is over, no matter what the outcome -give yourself a pat on the back. Doing something is much more productive than spiraling downwards and feeling bad that you didn’t do anything! So congratulate yourself, why not! 7. If you know you must get what you want, Change your approach until you do get it. Don’t give up! I personally would avoid medications and try to rationally deal with problems as much as possible. There is an option to beat anxiety and fear. Beat anxiety attacks and fear But, there are times when talking to others and seeking professional help is necessary!  As someone really close to me said once, we are our own healers, we just need to listen to ourselves more often!   As always to your health and success in all your dreams and thoughts, Perseka, ©Perseka LLC 2009

I had posted this on my Facebook Notes a while back but I figured it would be worth sharing on the blog as well! So, here it goes

Have you ever wondered why sometimes you feel down? no matter what you just can not get out of that spiral? No matter the reason you have three choices:

1. Let it spiral you down

2. Stay there (like a frozen computer)

3. CHOOSE to feel different, better……you ask, how can can I do #3?

Do something that in the past made you feel uplifted, (music, exercise, call a friend, take a bath, READ a book{personally the best}) but in short get in harmony with what truly makes you feel good ( and no I am not advocating eating a 1/2 gallon of Ben and Jerrys!) When you are in harmony, you will lift yourself out by yourself and you will affect others around you as well…..do me favor..NO, do yourself a favor: just try it!

I know there are many who suffer from many problems(physical, psychological, etc.) and I know that there are many who may not have cures for those but all it takes is effort to feel better and enjoy TODAY…tomorrow’s battles are left to be fought tomorrow!

And also there are also other ways to relax and help take a load off.

In this world there are two forms in every kind or one that does both.

But there is always a an IDEA or a seed(requires a planter) and then its manifestation or physical evidence (requires a groomer).

Every seed has an incubation period but it needs fertile ground or surroundings to mature and grow. An idea is chosen by exposing oneself to positive surroundings. So plant a NEW, original and prosperous IDEA, create it in your mind. Then, follow through with intensity because the greater with intensity of seeking the sooner it comes.

So, how do we Increase the intensity? First, we focus our efforts and thoughts–laser sharp. Then, the degree of our Faith(not necessarily limited to only the religious kind) and belief in our thought, the more profound the intensity will be.

The hardest part is the belief. That is possible through: 1. learning constantly and 2. sticking with it. Both of them are in our control! Pretty much, being open to the idea that an IDEA will work opens the flood gates. But you just can’t sit back and watch, you have to ACT once the opportunity simply presents itself. When is that? How do you know when is the right time to ACT?

You will know…. Just as we know that every morning the sun comes up.

Someone said once, quite wisely, “If you come out of your box at midnight or noon it won’t matter , the sun will shine on you in TIME. When it is its time to shine!” It is in nature!

As we dream of becoming the best we can be we are actually going toward it, but with negative self-talk we begin to sabotage our own progress so trust the :

GESTATION period of an IDEA is SET. It will bear fruit in its own proper time!

Our ideas will never come FASTER than the period of time they take to mature. So think so BIG, HUGE, ENORMOUS that it scares you. Because if you can think it, you can do it!

Here is a wonderful quote: “Make no small plans for they have not the magic to stir men’s souls”

Trust the world around you and not so much the specific expectation of a person or people. The right people are brought to you by the belief in your thoughts, that planted seed!

Don’t limit your results by deciding how long something should take. Just KNOW that it WILL come! I have to admit I was so intense about one IDEA that I had set a time limit for it to bear fruit and when the “deadline” came and went and no fruit…. I was thoroughly disappointed…… I will tell you in my next blog post how I got through that disappointment and finally the result I had envisioned came true! This is actually an exercise in itself!

This is just tip of the iceberg, there are many ways we can accomplish this. Through STUDY and LEARNING.

As always to your health and success in all your dreams and thoughts,

It is amazing to see how the process of inspiration, like a lightning bolt hitting you, plus hard work and focus on that inspiration produces results.

With the lightning bolt inspiration you have to make a choice:

1. Stand there and take no action. The result is: Getting burnt!

2. Take Action and channel and apply it and turn it onto a positive Track.

My personal example is about an incident that was so simple that we take it for granted. My son lost his balloon because he let go of the string. And that ate at him for a while, he was sad, angry even ashamed. That stuck with me. And days later on a long drive back in the cold snow covered roads I was hit with that lightning.

Once I arrived home…That same night….. I sat down and wrote a children’s book in 1 hour. I was thinking about my son. Also, my mind was fixed on the current events in the world. More importantly, I was feeling sick of how we always forget about many little things that may seem trivial but we take them for granted. So the words just started to flow! It did not matter if they were grammatically correct… it was 1 hour filled with inspiration and I fueled it with the music that used to inspire me when I was in College drawing sketches in my drawing class!

But, the words on paper were only half of the story. I had actually seen the characters and envisioned the book, the final result in my head that night. The actual physical book along with all the characters were clear as crystal in my mind.

I drew the illustrations within 3 days. The scanning, coloring took another 3 days but I hit a major wall. Yes, the wall I had talked about in my other posts. It took me almost 3 and a half months to figure out the publishing, the correct formatting and all things involved in getting in my little Boy’s hand to read it! I must have submitted it close to 15 times and every time rejected!

Rejection ;( ……..not great, but here was another opportunity to really use the same principle of sacrifice! And when I used it……results started to flourish!

Suddenly, it dawned on me that I had to actually learn something new and approach it from a completely different angle. And I did. then one morning after submitting the final proof with a little hope of approval….. I got the news. It was accepted.

The moral of this little anecdote is:

Don’t give up

because if your passion is strong about something and it is positive the world and YOU will find a way to get over the wall or the wall just disappears!

So the book is here and my little boy wants to read it every night and that means the world to ME. I am proud of it because it is from the heart and i touches his heart. I hope anyone who reads it will feel the same. And, if it does not, I will be happy that it may warm the heart of one or two people, hopefully in a positive way.

As I published the book, The Boy and the Red Balloon, I was also thinking of what I could do to help others so I am honored to donate 10% of the proceeds from the book to two charities that are near and dear to my heart,

1. Make a Wish foundation
2. Autism Speaks

It makes me and others who will read this book that it directly contributes and it may even grant a wish to a child in need or aid in healing another.

This is for those who have a dream.

Here is the link to purchase the Children’s book authored and illustrated by Kaveh Adel:
