“I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” - Henry David Thoreau

This quote of Thoreau is very true when the life that you imagine is your calling in resonance with mind, body, and spirit.

How we gain this alignment is by “scorching” the ego which is in fact the cause of internal and external personal conflict. The ego is what some consider “the false self;” the person that we become from beliefs we get from outside our “true self.” We are not what we have, what we do, or any of our attachments to ideas and material things that we possess. Remove all of this, and you find that we are only the person that came into this world from nothingness, and will indeed return to nothingness when we die. This journey called life is a journey of the spirit.

Alignment or reconnecting to the source of the spirit is the message I endeavor on this site as a precursor to success in life whether it be personal or business. Do this, and your goals will indeed become reality in your imagination and manifest effortlessly in your life.

This site is developing to help with self awareness, sales philosophy, leadership, and also for educators. I am in the process of creating programs and coaching services on these subjects as I gain the time.

Success in your career and in your life always begins internally.
How you think and act determines your path, your journey, and what you ultimately attract into your life.
Become happy with YOU, get involved with your calling in life, and your value takes form in the world.

You do have a calling… All living beings have something that they are destined to do; some kind of impact in the world that gives us meaning and fulfillment. More often than not, we chase what we think is success in the form of possessions and finances. Is this really success? Consider how often we learn about wealthy people succumbing to fatal addictions, depression, even suicide?

Consider what your choice would be if you could choose a gift: Door #1 was wealth, and Door #2 was a life of inner peace and happiness?

I think you would agree that most people would select Door #2…?

Prosperity in life is important; however, prosperity is a byproduct of your self-reliance, creativity and imagination. When you live a life of awareness, self reliance, and service to others outside your ego, then is when the laws of attraction or compensation vibrate positively with you.

Become aware… Get in touch with who you really are and what you want to do in life regardless of your age. You are not what you have. You are not what you do. Your possessions and titles do not define you.

Forget about naysayers, and fear of failure. Accept failure as a gift that makes you more aware. The greatest people in almost any walk of life have endured challenges and failure to become the person that made a positive impact on the world. The key was that they did not quit in their worthwhile endeavors. This is a normal path to success.

Become and Serve. Increase your value and serve others. Fill a worthwhile need in your part of the world. Give freely of your services and people will follow you, join with you, buy from you, and learn from you. This is a huge message I have for you. Become inspired with your true calling to give to the world rather than motivated for some endeavor that focuses on what you gain from the world.

Lead. Develop your leadership skills. Be courageous when you feel intimidation and fear. Remember that failing will make you stronger IF you never quit. Always do the right thing.

I write and speak about some of my favorite people in self-development and leadership and also my own successes and perceptions when relevant. Just something to keep the mind working. Watch for these articles and videos. My reading list is a great place to start in regards to self-development:  Robert Quadra’s Reading List

I also highly recommend Dr. Wayne Dyer’s books, audios, and his movie The Shift. He is particularly powerful with his message. Dr. Wayne Dyer
