Several years ago, I had the enjoyment of spending quite a lot of time interacting with people, that had for the most part, reached the end of the road. These precious souls were finishing out their days in a skilled nursing facility. My job was to maintain the floors, so they were clean, waxed, and shiny. As I got to know many of these residents, I asked them the question that I cared most about being answered, by these particular people. The question was, "if you had it to do all over again, what would you do differently?" The answer almost every time was the same.
As I was reading this article, I was reminded of what answer I received. This is what they told me. "If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't worry about anything. If I wanted to do it, I would do it. I would take more vacations. I would just do it." This made a very big impact on my life and have lived it doing just that, many times and in many areas of my life. Ironically, these folks were not focused on what could have been, they were thinking about what had been and mostly reliving their childhood. I am very thankful that I was able to learn a very big lesson, shared by people that had gone on the path before me. May anyone that reads this, feel the love

Unless or until, you come to the realization that you are an eternal soul, living within a temporal body, the things that I am about to speak about will be foreign to you. Who am I? Remember the age old question? Most people have some sort of answer to that question, but many are not willing to pay the price to find out who they really are. Who are you? Have you allowed the Light of liberty to search deep within you and disclose to you, who you really are? It doesn't matter one iota who someone else says that you are. Their words or beliefs don't change who you are, although if you allow these things to enter your subconscious mind, you may believe what they say is so.
I continue to search for my spiritual DNA, to find my Greatness and who I am. It's not in the gut. It's not really in the mind. It's in the spiritual DNA. The reason it is not realized by people is because it's blocked. We can easily see and feel the spiritual DNA with a newborn baby. The child just IS. As the baby grows into adulthood, this DNA is not as evident many times. Things, people, circumstances, beliefs, habits, and many other things corrode the connection and we don't see it, feel it, or even know what our spiritual DNA is. Therefore, we must become "born again" and become as a child again to realize our spiritual DNA. Our mind is renewed and we are a new creation. This is only done when we surrender to the Universe, to be whatever we were created to be. Then our Greatness will be realized, because we just ARE. I was sitting at my desk, enjoying my morning coffee, looking out the window and in thought. I thought, with feelings of love, how each of us is at a different place on the path, called human life. We really don't know how the other person feels, until we connect with them, while sharing good feelings. They are at a place of their choice and we have no right to try to choose for them. If we truly love each other, we share good feelings, with love at the center, and then guess what? We all end up at the same place anyway. May all that read this, feel the love. Where do I begin? Well, at the beginning, of course. Ahh, but what or where is that? How can I know? Who might be able to tell me? The above questions never need to be answered for many, because quite frankly, they never ask. They just suddenly become aware that they are on planet earth and spend a great amount of time learning at the feet of others. Understand, what they learn(believe in their heart), is the sum of all things heard and experienced, filtered with their free will, if in fact any is left. As they wander through life, they are living what is in their heart-"as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he"- even sometimes just wanting to get to the other side. So why were they here in the first place? For any number of reasons, although for exactly the reason that they have embraced in their heart, they believe. Why do so many of these people feel so unappreciated and unfulfilled? Probably because they aren't doing what they really want to do. They have no passion or excitement for their life's work. They don't even realize that they have a birthright of choice. It was given to them by the Creator and taken away through words, actions, and experiences.
I have good news. There is hope for all, with no regard for anything that has happened in the past. You must be born again, with the renewing of your mind. All things are past and you're a new creation. Then you will be as a small child, ready for your heart to be filled with love, peace, joy, and all positive things, and to become prepared for your true life's work, while you realize your birthright. Then you begin to ask the above questions. I hope all who read this feel the love I have become aware that I have known my 'what' and 'why', but have neglected to dig deeply enough to establish my how. Therefore, as the days of my first month have ticked off, I am still many times confused as to what I am doing, and really, what I am trying to do. Now I understand why. I haven't known 'how' I planned to do it. I am working on that now, with much excitement, as I dare to dream big.
Why does it really matter if we waste a day of our life and do nothing productive? Or a week, a month, a year? We do have a lot of time to get it together, don't we? Well, not necessarily. We do know that our breaths are limited, Isn't it strange? The only thing that is limited, we seem to waste the most. We are given the power to take control of our own minds and direct our bodies to whatever path that we desire. Abundance is our birthright, although many are unaware of this. Why is it difficult for so many people to come to the realization that whatever they choose is theirs? Everything begins in the mind. Our mind in turn directs the body. We never see the original, unless it was birthed within our own mind. No one is able to see the 'original' Mona Lisa. That was in the mind of Leonardo da Vinci. Look around and see all the things that were first created in someone's mind.
I am going to be sharing things that I have learned in the last 2 1/2 years of my life, as my awareness has increased to a level that excites me beyond measure. Finally I am learning to value every second of the time that I have left and feeling the blessing of each day. I am now prepared for the work before me over the next 3 years of my life and I want to be a blessing to all that are ready to receive. I will strive to write a blog each week and your input is very much welcomed. I hope all feel the love today, Vincent I was interviewed by Faye Wilson on blog talk radio and wanted to share it with the hope that it helps some that are frustrated in the pursuit of their dreams. I hope that you enjoy and may all that hear it feel the love.
At one time in my life, I believed that I was a fast learner and a good worker and always professed thus, during my many job interviews. Now, I really believed this, until I started to play video games with my wife. We would buy a game and start to play it together in competition and I started to feel shame, as Theresa would excel, making sure she captured everything possible, while I was still struggling to get off the earlier boards. That is when I started to realize that I was in fact, a slow learner. Eventually after many hours of playing, I was better than her in various type boards and she excelled in others, but in the end, I mastered them. I never gave up and paid the price of my time and commitment and realized victory. I have come to realize that whenever we set our mind on an idea and become emotionally attached to that idea and act on it with conviction, we will never be denied. Now I think that I have known that truth for many years, but the why was always the sticking point for me. Why wasn't I realizing success in my financial situation? I knew that I was as intelligent as some of those that were kicking it in the business world. Now I did start to realize that I had started with conviction several times, but each time I stopped and went back to my comfort zone. This really troubled me, but what troubled me the most was, why? Why didn't I keep going? Why did I stop? Was it fear of success/failure? Was I just lazy? Why didn't I love my family enough to do what I knew that I could do for them? Weren't they enough of a reason? Yes, but........I didn't know why. I did not know why I didn't do it. I spent many years searching for that answer and felt much shame within, but I thank God, I now have the answer and I am overjoyed on a daily basis, because the battle has been won and all I need to do now, is enjoy my birthright. Now every day is a labor of love, as long as I never lose sight of my goal. May all who may read this, feel the love and I will be posting the many things that I learn along the way, that help me to stay on course, no matter what is in my path to overcome and master this game called life. I have started a "How To" tab for any that might want to follow along and I pray that I am a blessing to all. Vincent Well, the end of my work week is here and now it is time to reflect on what has been accomplished this week. With 21 days to go to make sure I complete my first month's Action Plan, I surely have much work to do, in a relatively short time. One thing I do know. This labor of love that I have embarked on is a done deal. Now I am just enjoying being involved as it all plays out. It really is a joy to be doing a labor of love each day. I am not sure why it took me so long to get here, but I'm not going to dwell on that. I am just so thankful that I am here, at this period of life, having been so blessed and now I have been giving all my time to be a blessing to others. I don't have to wake up and dread the day, because I have to go to a job that I hate and feel that I am doing nothing to help my brothers and sisters. It was even more bothersome that I felt that there was very little purpose in my existence and it was an existence and not living, as my Creator expected of me. It is time to enjoy some friends and family time and then write my daily action plan for next week. I hope all have a great Sunday and may all who read this feel the love a long time.
Vincent What is the biggest reason that we don't take action? Any ideas? My guess? Procrastination! It makes sense to me anyway. Okay, I will get back to this blog just as soon as I can. Probably tomorrow. May all who read this have an awesome day and feel the love all day.
Vincent It seems that I am falling a little behind. I am looking at what I have accomplished, since I have begun this journey and I am unable to find any measurable progress. I have been reading my new book, "30 Days to Real Estate Cash", by Dean Graziosi, but I am now 5 days into this commitment and I just seem to be jumping from one thing to another. I have no way of really knowing what I have accomplished, to this point. It is really, for the most part, the way that I have lived my life, What is the problem? My mindset is really good. I stay in a positive vibration and I am emotional attached to an idea that has become an ideal. So why haven't I seen any results yet? Oh, that thing. That thing that I have been hearing about. That thing that I haven't done yet. Oh, so now I know the problem. I don't have a plan. Well, before this day is over, my goals will be written. A 5 year plan. A 1 year plan. A set of goals to be accomplished by Jan 1st. A set of goals to be accomplished by Dec. 1st. Then a plan of action for each week for the rest of this month and a plan of action for the rest of this week, including what to do when I awaken in the morning. Well, I know what needs to be done today. Off to it and I hope all that read this have, just an awesome day and that you feel much love today.
Vincent Today is the 88th birthday of my mother. Happy birthday, Mom. Today is also my 1st post on my blog.The first thing that I want to talk about is mindset. I have come to realize that without the proper mindset, it is impossible to accomplish anything of value. I have been watching Bob Proctor's Born Rich Seminar and wow, it is powerful. He and John Kanary explain in great depth, how mindset can and needs to be changed. I am convinced that our results are in direct correlation with our mindset. It is so important that our paradigm is built on truth. Once we realize that we are really a spiritual being, within a body, then we start to realize what is within us and what can be done through us. This is an awesome day and I hope all who read this feel the love today.
