Who ARE You?
Back in the early 1960s, I used to watch a popular television game show called, To Tell the Truth, where three contestants did their best to bluff a panel of four celebrity judges.
One of the contestants (who, according to the rules could never lie) always had some sort of unusual occupation. The other two were imposters (and could lie). At the end of every show, the host would say, “Will the real ‘so and so’ please stand up?” and we’d all find out who was telling the truth.
Life is not really that much different.
We’re all a bit like those celebrity judges on the show trying to figure out what’s the truth…or to put it another way, which beliefs are going to get us where we want to go. Because, let’s face it, the real rewards go to those who have beliefs that support them in winning – with money or otherwise.
This famous game show line is where I got the idea for one of the chapter titles in my forthcoming book, At Zero: The Quest for Miracles through Ho’oponopono (which you’ll be the first to receive prior to its official release next year when you attend my November event in Austin).
Coming soon!
The chapter is called “Will the Real Ho’oponopono Please Stand Up?” and reflects one of the reasons I had for writing this book: to clear up a number of misconceptions surrounding this ancient healing method and to shed light on how it evolved through the 21st century.
And it has evolved…just like the rest of life. (Seriously, where would we be if the Old Testament hadn’t given way to the New Testament?)
Nothing stands still.
New revelations, new inspirations, new information is constantly revealing itself moment to moment – if you’re open to it.
Being open means that sometimes you have to surrender what you know.
However….this does require faith and trust, two principles you’ll find threaded throughout all my material.
In fact, it’s how I create all my material.
And Ho’oponopono has been invaluable in this regard because it helps me distinguish the difference between my ego and true inspiration. It’s my favorite method for transforming myself – cleaning and clearing any internal beliefs that could potentially run interference as I move forward.
And, to me, the results speak for themselves.

I’ve been able to exponentially increase my productivity and, surprisingly, increase my range of creative pursuits.
For example, in addition to writing books, I’ve become an award-nominated musician (when a few years ago I couldn’t even play a chord).
Recently, I’ve even released weight and transformed my physical body – going to an entirely new level of health and fitness (at the age of 60).
There’s simply no end to what you can achieve through your own personal transformation – even in areas that have been persistent problems.
But first, you have to decide what your truth is…
How?
By consciously choosing between beliefs that work and those that merely keep you “wandering in the desert” – beliefs that make you rich or those that keep you struggling.
I’m excited that this is the level of work we’re going to be doing in Austin, Texas on November 9 and 10, and where, when it’s over, you’ll walk away with a new view of yourself.
The real you…
You know, the one that’s just been waiting to be called to stand up.

Disney's Secret
Years ago, Walt Disney was asked if it
ever concerned him that the brilliant
ideas being developed by his imagineers
(the term he used for his employees who
designed and built the world’s greatest
theme parks) would be leaked or stolen.
He replied, “No. We can create faster
than people can steal.”
And I’m wondering…
Can you?
Are you that confident in your ability to create?
Maybe it seems unfair to ask, given that we’re
talking about a mastermind of invention and
entertainment. But, according to the accounts
of Walt‘s life, he went through a number of
transformations.
In one article I read, besides coming from a
“highly dysfunctional” childhood, “At age 22,
Walt experienced bankruptcy after the failure
of a cartoon series in Kansas City. He headed
to Los Angeles with $40 in cash, and an
imitation-leather suitcase containing only
a shirt, two undershorts, two pairs of socks,
and some drawing materials. Feeling that others
did animation better, his goal was to be an
actor out in Hollywood. It never occurred.”
Thank God.
Where would the world be without his contributions?
More relevant, though, is where will the world be
without yours?
Have you ever really thought about it this way…
that you might have something to offer the world
of great significance?
Believe me, I didn’t always feel or act like I
had something to contribute. When I was homeless,
I certainly had no idea I’d write over 50 books,
or help thousands of people. I had no idea I would
become the world’s first self-help musician with my
own album – let alone six albums.
But here’s the thing: You don’t know what you
don’t know.
And you don’t have to…but…you do have to get out
of your own way. You have to stop looking out
there for answers to questions like:
* How do I attract money in this terrible economy?
* How do I improve my self-image?
* How do I stay positive when people around me are negative?
* How do I discover my life purpose when I don’t know what I want?
* How do I help others?
* How do I attract my love?
* What can I do when everything looks hopeless?
In a nutshell, there’s one answer to all of these:
stop waiting around.
If you want to learn to create and have the confidence to do
it again and again – the best and only way to do this that
I know for sure is through transformation.
If this sounds like a lot of, well, frankly, work, then I’ve
got good news for you…
At my event in November, I’ll be sharing my recent discovery
of the Law of Zero: “Zero” is alive.
Not only can you get inspiration from it, you can send
intentions into it – and I’ll be revealing how to do it
for the first time at the event. I’m excited because this
information goes beyond anything I’ve ever taught before.
Even better… it’s going to take you beyond anything you’ve
ever been before.
Like Walt once said, “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”
Join me in Austin for the fun…

The Decision
Patrick Doucette signed up for my upcoming
event and posted this on my blog —
“I recently bought my ticket to this event
in Austin as a leap of faith…something was
nudging me to go…and so I am. Flying in for
the weekend of November 8th to 10th but wait
a minute… I am already feeling an empowerment!
“Now that I know I’m going, I somehow feel
stronger, more confident and I am having my
best month ever! This might sound crazy but
it seems I’m already getting a return on my
investment BEFORE the event!! Wonder how
things will go when I get back!?!”
That’s always been my experience, too.
As soon as you sign up for an event, the
changes begin.
Why?
How?
Once you make a decision to do something
different, you send a signal to your mind
that the change begins NOW.
Until you make a decision, life is the
“same old, same old.”
Once you make a decision, you fracture time
and space and create a new reality.
The decision itself cuts through the old
habits and releases energy to move in a
new direction.
It’s psychological and mystical and more.
But it’s real.
Find out for yourself.
Take a leap of faith.

PS — If you are sitting there wondering if you
should sign up right now or not, then you already
know that you want to sign up right now. The only
thing holding you back is a decision. I say take
the leap and see how a single decision can change
your life for the better right now. Just do it.

Wait Broke the Wagon
Life is short.
Nothing reminds me of this more than spending
time with my 88-year-old father and dying
mother these days, and it’s fresh on my mind
after visiting them this past week.
While I was there, dad used a phrase he’s
repeated to me many times over the years,
“Wait’s what broke the wagon down,”
which translates into, “Take action now or
lose the energy of the moment.”
While I suspect the pioneers of the west coined it,
my research couldn’t pin down exactly where this
particular saying originated. Interestingly, though,
I did discover that Orville Couch used it as the
title of a song he wrote and sang.
If you’re a rockabilly aficionado like me, you might
recognize his name. He was an old country musician
who played back in the days of the Big D Jamboree,
a precursor to the Grand Ole Opry.
Of course, his song is about waiting around for a girl
to love him. (What else would we expect from a good
ol’ country song, right?)
All joking aside, waiting around for anything isn’t
a good idea. In fact, it actually becomes part of
the problem by temporarily stopping the flow of good
things into your life.
Why?
Because withholding yourself from life is like holding
your breath – except in this case you’re holding your
action back.
And, just like you have to release your breath to get
another one, you have to release your action to take
another step.
Now I’m not talking about timing here. Yes, there is
such a thing, but as Terri Cole-Whitaker once said,
“You have to act as if there is no timing.”
The beauty of all this is that when you’re tapped
into your Divine connection in such a way that you
know what to do – what inspired action to take –
there really is no timing. You’re in the flow and
moving in accordance with it.
Life is good.
Waiting, though…that’s something entirely different.
This notion of waiting – waiting for the right
circumstances, the right person, the right moment,
the right amount of money, the right job – operates
like a subtle and covert co-dependency: You’re waiting
for something out there to happen or to be different
in order to do something you want to do.
But its impact on your life is about as subtle as a
stealth missile – it can devastate your financial
well-being, inner peace, confidence, self-esteem,
and relationships.
To be clear, waiting is an action, a signal to the
universe that you’re not ready for what you want.
There’s only one way out of this kind of predicament.
You’ve got to stop putting up with things and decide
you’re not going to live a certain way any longer –
and then act on it by putting yourself on a direct path
of transformation. (If you’re serious, I want to meet
you personally in Austin this November at my event.)
Stop waiting around …
You don’t have to wait to see if the government’s going
to shut down again.
You don’t have to wait to see if you’re going to get
laid off.
You don’t have to wait to see what the stock markets do.
Economic certainty is not out there. You’re never going
to “find” it.
You can only create it.
But first, you have to stop waiting.
Like the pioneers with their wagons, you have to drop
some baggage and travel lighter.
Stop waiting.
Your time is now.
As my father would say, “Wait broke the wagon.”

Transformation Part Three
I wrote about fitness legend Bill Phillips (of Body-for-Life fame) and his new Transformation Camp Challenge on March 1st. I gave you an update on my progress with his program on May 18th. Today I want to share my current news because I just received my second medal from Bill, for completing his Transformation Camp 12-week challenge a second time.
Won 2nd Medal!
Since February I’ve released 37 pounds of extra weight and added 12 pounds of solid muscle. Photos of my inflated biceps after an upper body workout are pretty impressive. I’m no match for my friend Lou Ferrigno but I’m turning myself on with my progress. I have Popeye arms. I feel like a Hercules in training.
There’s nothing like feeling strong and healthy to make you willing and able to take on challenges and wrestle to the ground any encounters. I’ve also noticed that the healthier you are, the more your income increases.
Part of this is due to the higher self-esteem you get when you are fit. A lot of it also comes from the reality that you have the energy to work and get projects done. I’m no slouch at productivity, but with all this extra energy, watch my smoke!
My 21-yr-old nephew and my 60-yr-old biceps
I fully endorse Bill Phillips and his program, and I’ve had to tweak it to get results for me. Since so many people are into health, fitness, weight loss and longevity, I thought I would share some of my insights with you here.
Here they are:
- Whey wrong. Whey is a milk product and can clog my lungs in one day. Not everyone has a reaction to whey, but it’d be smart to see if you are sensitive to it. Bill advised me to switch my whey-based meal replacement shakes to Egg Beaters, which caused a profound change in my results. It’s an old school, “Rocky’” approach. Instead of drinking raw eggs, like Stallone did in the movie, I have a cup of Egg Beaters with two ice cubes and Strongevity (see #2 next). I add coconut water (not coconut milk) to get potassium. Tastes great.
- Strongevity rules. I used to swallow a bucket of supplements every morning. I tossed them all out and now only use Strongevity. Strongevity is a new product that Bill created, based on his intense research into what works. There’s a combination of ingredients in this new formula that creates a wondrous effect. Bill suggested I take it right after my workout, and right before bed. After a few months, I added a mid-day serving. Not only do I feel stronger and more vibrant, but my barber said my hair color was coming back. (Maybe hair will be next.) Read about Strongevity here: http://billphillipsnews.com/2013/07/01/did-you-read-the-exciting-news-about-strongevity-rx/
- Workouts work. Again, I follow Bill’s routine. I do high intensity interval training, with my pulse being my guide. I want to hit 160 for at least ten seconds, back off a bit, and hit it again, doing this five times within 25 minutes. I do upper body strength training once a week, lower body once a week, and 25-minute “cycle” cardio three times a week. Two days off. This system makes me feel like Superman, though I admit the workouts exhaust me. I drag around for two hours after them. Hey, I’m 60. Read about the Bill Phillips workout here: http://billphillipsnews.com/2013/06/05/this-is-the-exact-workout-i-did-today/
- Nutrition secrets. This is a huge topic. In short, unless you know what foods you are sensitive to, not just allergic to, you could eat healthy foods and still get sick. (Blueberries, generally considered a true health food, were bad for me at one point.) My wife Nerissa specializes in this area and has a site at www.foodpowers.com I also found that food combining, better understood as food separating, speeds up weight loss. My trainer Scott York taught me this. It’s a system developed by Dr. Hay in the early 1900s. Basically, you eat proteins alone, and carbs alone. When you mix them in a meal, your body has a tougher time digesting them.
- Mindset. Unless you have a mental template of what you want to look like, your mind will use your default template, which is probably going to be your current overweight image. I once had a photographer photo shop my face on a swimmer’s toned body. Recently I had an artist sketch a vision of me as fit and trim. Both give my mind a new vision of what to achieve.
Again, the above are my tweaks for my body. I strongly encourage you to contact Bill Phillips and get started with his tested path. From there, you can fine tune your eating and exercising to fit your own lifestyle.
As I’ve written here before, I fully endorse Bill Phillips. I am not an affiliate for anything he offers (he doesn’t know I’m writing this) but I fully recommend all of it. I’ll be attending his Transformation Camp again January 3-5, to kick-off my third 12-week challenge with him.
