New Year Inspiration

Hi Brendon
For all those who need to focus, just keep moving forward!
Its easy to get bogged down in the detail of trying to plan every move and completely miss what’s going on right now. Yesterday has gone and tomorrow is not here yet.
I’m just going throughg the EB package-awesome!
Best wishes
Mike

Ok folks, this is my 2nd comment here. I just want to tell everybody that I carefully transcribed ALL of Brendon’s 25-minute talk, put it into a nice PDF (ebook?) and have received permission from Brendon’s office to spread the word far and wide.

Use the link above this comment to go to my blog where you’ll find the PDF of Brendon’s talk in a couple of places. Yours totally FREE. Absolutely no optin required. Just grab it and enjoy it along with the original audio of course. And tell your friends too.

It’s my sincere belief that in this talk Brendon has created the Inspiration of the Decade for us all. Maybe I’m qualified to say that because I’ve heard it through at least 20 times! And downloaded it to my iPod Nano!

Let’s get going in 2010! The opportunities are there for us to grasp and thrive in. Thank you again Brendon for revving me up.

Hi Brendon
A great message as usual and I fully agree with everything you say but I just want to add something that you mentioned.

I’m not famous and rich (not yet) but if there is one thing that I found, then it is the secret of life. This past year and holiday season it became so absolutely obvious how few people actually know this so called secret, which is no secret at all, and which could change the whole world we live in.

The reason I write this is because I hear that reason for living in your voice when you speak of your father. My father abused me for the better part of 18 years but the day I forgave him and loved him again is the day I discovered the real secret of living, and that is called love.

Those of us who are Christians may have read this many times but I find that people tend to read without really trying to understand the relevance of love in their lives. Even those who are not Christians will have to agree that this is the most profound philosophy in the universe, and that is that if you cannot or do not have love then you are nothing.

To quote: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

Just imagine what the world could be if we all lived with this philosophy as our daily goal.

First we would love ourselves and we would rejoice and be grateful in our victories and give ourselves permission to sometimes fail as well. Just think what a difference that would bring in most people’s lives because there would be no reason to compare ourselves to others or envy them as we would be at peace with and within ourselves.

Secondly the ego would have no reason for existence because we would not have to boast of our victories or be rude to people because we think ourselves better than others, as we ourselves would not be self-serving. Let’s face it, arrogance and self promotion usually comes from a dark place of low self esteem and self worth.

Thirdly we could just achieve peace in this world because people or even whole races won’t live in the past or keep record of all the wrongs done to them. Take from the past only that which is good and learn from it. Who knows, we may just come to trust each other.

If everybody could just try to live like that. It will give them peace and set them free from greed and avarice. It will set them up for true success in life as they will have credibility and people will trust them.

You don’t have to be a pauper to be a decent human being but you have to love people to serve them properly and profitably.

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

God bless and a happy and prosperous year to you and yours.

Hello from beautiful Montana:

So glad that we connected. This next year for Artichoke Press is going to be to spread a message of respect, kindness and understanding.

As I work with family relationships, I see that many people have never learned to respect and be kind to the people they love most.

Thanks for your efforts and willingness to share ideas, techniques and stories. There is enough success to go around for all of us. There is no shortages, except in our minds.

In gratitude,

Judy Helm Wright aka Auntie Artichoke, family relationship author and keynote speaker

Brendon, I enjoyed listening to your New Year’s sharing. You are an inspiration and I give thanks for you and all that you do and will do!

May you continue to inspire, uplift, encourage and teach us ways to be the best we are born to be!

Happy New Year to you and yours!

In the Spirit of Joy,
Tonya

Brendon,

Great insights for 2010! I’m guilty of going into freeze mode too often in 2009. I hope to make 2010 better. With the economy and politics being so stressful in 2009, it’s time to move beyond these life sucking stresses.
One way I have found to increase my awareness towards appreciation and gratitude, is getting back to Mother Earth and nature’s awesome scenary.
My college friend, Dr. Brian Luke Seaward, is helping that journey for not only me, but others. His most recent DVD, Earth Songs, is a must purchase to help lower stress levels. You will find a place of peace by just appreciating nature’s wonders all around you. I urge your readers to consider Earth Songs DVD to be a part of their lives for the next decade.

Brendon:

I heard you speak at Author101University in New York and in Las Vegas.

You are one of the most inspirational and best speakers I have ever heard. (In fact, I wish I was 80 percent as good as you are.)

This is one of the reasons that I am attending your Partnership/Sponsorship seminar in Redwood City in mid-March.

One of questions I ask myself regularly since I heard you speak is a question that you throw at your audience during your presentations: “So are you a creator?”

In the same vein, I advise people in my book “Look Ma, Life’s Easy” (published in 5 foreign languages but not in English):

“Anything great that has been accomplished in the history of humanity has started with one small thought. We all have those thoughts; few people do anything with theirs, however. What do you intend to do with yours?”

There is no doubt in my mind that I will be able to put the information from your Sponsorship/Partnership Seminar to great use for the creative works that I already have generated and for the many new ones still to be thought of in the future.

Brendon,

you are so ON, my friend. you beautifully weaved a unique perspective–to reflect on 09 and the past decade, and create not only for 2010, but for the decade with respect to “income, impact and influence” in our careers, “passion and playfulness” in our intimate relationship, and do it all “with the “tenderness of a touch” and “the warmth of a word.” so rich, more important, so real. thank you.

and, indeed, it boils down to what you emphasized at certain moments at both Experts and LSN playshop in SD–Presence. to me, it means a vibrant, energetic attentiveness to whomever I have the privilege to connect with. thank you.

i’m thrilled you’re a part of my journey, as you have no idea the incredible value you infused in my life. you not only deliver deep-spirited inspiration, but pragmatic implementation of both the personal and business insights you share from your core, so thank you much, pal. and, I look forward to connecting with you soon.

never cease sharing your message in all the childlike energy and zest you do.

love +energy,
niteyes

Hi Brendon,
Thanks so much for your tips on being more productive! I have tried and tested so many different ideas but yours has resonated with me and I am using it from today! The value you provide is incredible and I am extremely grateful and appreciative of it. I am glad to hear that you made it through the holidays ok given the difficult circumstances.
Thank you once again,
Best regards
paul

Brenden, your message is right on! Relationships is what it is all about.
When one can live in a state of gratitude and appreciation as you are proclaiming is what it is all about. LIFE IS ALL ABOUT LOVE.
YOU ARE RIGHT ON! KEEP PROCLIAMING YOUR MESSAGE
BLESSINGS on your New Year 2010.

Thank you.

You have confirmed to me what I knew about what life is all about.

Thank you so much for such an inspiring and on point message!

You are just simply said: “AMAZING” Thanks for all your stuff. I am so so so grateful. You Rock!!!

Thanks Brendon. Your presentation is spot on and your ‘presence’ is felt in the recording. 2010 is going to be a great year!

Thank you Brendon, as usual. For the past few years I have felt something inside of me that just seemed “off” for a long time. You know, the one thing I have learned in 2009 was life wasn’t going to just appear and make you “happy”. I learned you must be happy for life to start to appear. Meaning, you must live and love your life, if it isn’t perfect … to not worry about it, life unfolds for you when you stay in the moment. I say this because I carry alot of debt, I fought this debt by hoping one day life would be this magical fairytale and it would be like waking up. Instead, being afraid of loss, I suddenly found myself waking up and one day my mom who was back in the States (as I am in Canada), she turned ill. I didn’t know what to do, where I was going to find the money to make visits to her? Then on my way back to my home town, where she was… she passed away before I made it home.
I had to say to myself, it wasn’t my fault over and over again. I felt guilty as I was taking care of the elderly, and my own mother needed me and this was something I had to now deal with. Guess what, I feel into deep depression. I tried not to, I even covered it up with people who are close to me. Friends up the street would want me to watch their children for a few hours, I accepted always with a smile. I was fighting an ugly person called depressed me. Who was I to get this way? I asked myself. Suddenly when you turn quite, you hear a voice of reason. I heard this” Charlotte, you could fall or you could climb the highest mountian… it’s all up to you.”
Now, telling you about a voice of reason I could ask am I losing my mind? My father had mental illness, I was ashamed of all the sterotypes that come with all of this. I asked who am I? Then flashes of my childhood started to come to me like a flashback in time. I would see this scared little girl who hide in the bedroom as a child most of the time, my father passed away when I was five, I was bullied by the neighborhood, I had allergies and was sick as a child alot of the time. I had to take allergy shots and puffers so I could breathe, I was scared as a child… but I would write. I wrote in my bedroom all alone, I could have this perfect world on paper.
Then, It all spoke to me. Life didn’t always come knocking at my door, but I found a way to start living it! I had many relationships that went wrong, but I found one that went right. I met my husband off the internet picked up my life and moved to Canada. My life is still not perfect, but I am working on living the dream of becoming a writer.
I wanted to share this with you, because I know your dad passed away about two weeks before my mom passed… I read your blog about your father, I even posted a note telling you I know how you felt, meaning with my father passing when I was little and when I was working in Personal support, I understood what families would go through.
This is the year of my dream.
If it wasn’t for people such as you, inspiring me and keeping faith about something I truly believed in I really don’t know where I would be. So, with that being said I thank you! THANK YOU!
Thanks for sharing, your life with the world!
Sincerely,
Charlotte Tersigni

This was righ on time for me. I went to bed with my goals all in place, my plan written out and woke up this morning ready to tear the world up. I listen to you words of wisdom and now I think instead of tearing the world up I will walk peacefully through this year and just change the world as I go through each day. My blood pressure is down, my heart is not racing and there is a smile on my face. Thank you. What a wonderful way to start the new day and the new year.
Be Blessed to be a blessing
