Last week I was placed in front of a video camera twice and filmed, once for a movie to be released in September and another for a DVD to be released next week.
Both times I had nothing to say and almost didn’t do the filming.
Both times I didn’t stop talking for almost 45 minutes.
How is that possible?
I learned a long time ago that even if I felt I had nothing to say or write, if I just started talking or writing, something would appear. More often than not, that something ended up being pretty darn good.
Decades ago, when I was studying great authors, I learned that they often sat down with no idea what they were going to write. But they wrote anyway. They trusted their unconscious to deliver something. It always did.
I think too many of us talk ourselves out of even trying.
Yes, sometimes what you write or say will have to be revised afterwards. That’s why we have editors and editing software.
But, surprisingly — and I say that literally as I’m still amazed at how this works — what comes out of “nothingness” is often brilliance.
My tip for today is to trust yourself more. Don’t refuse to speak or write because you have nothing to say. When the time goes, something will surface and you just might surprise yourself by what comes through you.

PS — When I began this post, I literally had “nothing to say.” I started typing anyway. Now look.
What do you think?
This is my new blog – a sort of reincarnated version of my old one.
This contains all of my old posts (nearly five hundred of them), but with a new look and feel, and of course with a new blog title: Dr. Joe Vitale at Zero.
For taking the time to stop by, here is a gift for you:
Kenneth MacLean, popular author of The Vibrational Universe, and 6 other books, has put together a home study course called “The Keys to Deliberate Creation.”
You can read about it, as well as grab it for free (for a limited time) at —

PS – I’m not sure how to post anything to this WordPress blog yet, so please forgive any irregular formatting, etc. Thank you.
The reason you don’t personally know a lot of people is because of your brain.
The reason most of the six billion people you don’t know are grouped into categories is because of your brain.
Appears our noggins can only hold about 150 people — people you know the first name of and feel comfortable with.
Beyond that amount your brain lumps people into things like races, stereotypes, organizations, cultures, etc.
This is all because of something called the MonkeySphere.
Since I’ve been recording and filming all week and am bushed right now, I don’t have the time or energy to explain this concept to you.
But someone else has already done so.
His writing is excellent, and for mature audiences only, and located at www.pointlesswasteoftime.com/monkeysphere.html
Watch your bananas and go read it.

If you could ask me just one question about how to live a “Zero Limits” life, what would it be?
I’ll be doing a free teleseminar soon where I can answer your question. You can post it at —www.AskJoeZeroLimits.com
This event is part of a global promotion for the release of my next book, “Zero Limits,” due out at the end of this month.
“Zero Limits” is the true story of the therapist who helped heal an entire ward of mentally ill criminals, using a simple Hawaiian healing method called ho’oponopono.
The book is by me and the therapist, and reveals his method for the first time in history. The method can be used to remove inner blocks to anything you want to heal or manifest.
This is the most exciting thing I’ve ever written about.
Aparrently I’m not the only one to think so.
Dr. Marc Gitterle said, “I feel this book will be the definitive personal-change/self-help book for at least a generation, and viewed as a watershed event by historians. There is real potential for this book to start a movement that will end war, poverty and the environmental devastation of our beloved planet.”
Bestselling author Debbie Ford said,”This riveting book can awaken humanity.”
Author James Arthur Ray said, “Joe Vitale has captured the truth that all great spiritual, scientific, and psychological principles teach at the most fundamental level.”
Maverick marketer Craig Perrine said, “This book is like a stick of dynamite and the moment you start reading the fuse is lit. It blows away all the complex and confusing success paradigms of the past and reveals a refreshing and clear path to transform your life with just one simple step.”

PS – You can get more details about the book, including how to get audios of the first seminar based on the ideas in the book, at www.zerolimits.info You can also pre-order the book from Amazon. I’m currently recording the audios for the book and they should be on itunes at the end of the month, as well.
When my sister, Bonnie, visited me last week and saw my 2005 Panoz Esperante GTLM named Francine, she lit up.
Bonnie has never been into cars, but she sure wanted in Francine.
And once behind the wheel, she didn’t want to let go, or get out.
It was raining that day, so Bonnie didn’t get to drive Francine.
Bonnie has been married for almost twenty-nine years. When her husband, Frank, got into the car, his eyes grew large and his smile grew wide.
I let him start the car. As he heard the roar of Francine’s engine, he seemed to radiate bliss.
Bonnie looked at him and said, “I haven’t seen that look on your face in twenty-nine years.”
Frank replied, “Get me a car like this and you’ll see it all the time.”

PS – If you think desire is bad, or the cause of all suffering, then you are believing a myth. Buddha actually said misunderstood desire and attachment to desire cause suffering, not desire itself. As Mandy Evans points out in a guest article just added to my site, babies learn to walk because of natural desire. It’s the most powerful force. It’s your inner compass letting you know you are on your path. But most of us squelch it. What do you desire?
