"I Belive In me"

A few days ago I was on the spinning bike working up to start Insanity (a new conditioning program) when out of the the IPOD came a an old KISS tune "I". It was on the the album "The Elder". The chorus is "I believe in me!". It got me thinking; do I believe in me? If so, what are a few times in my life that I really had to dig deep and search my sole to really believe in me?

The first thing that come to mind was my sophomore year in high school. I wanted to play football. My dreams of being a star running back took a major seat back after hitting drills during "Hell Week". We were doing this drill that required me to carry the ball and an line backer to run up and make a hit and try to tackle me. I ran this kid over and kept on going until the coach started to yell at me to come back. As I returned to the group this kid was not getting up. I over heard the coaches talking that was one of the hardest hit yet at camp. The coach after attending to the young man approached me to informed me that I would not be running the ball this year but playing right gard. RIGHT GARD! Did he not just see that hit?! At 130 pounds dripping wet how was I ever going to hold my own on the the line with the big boys. The coach gave me his word if I did this for him this year, next year I could move to the back field.

I gave it everything I had. I became the best right gard I could. Learning the plays and how to block. The next off season I worked hard hitting the weights gaining 30 pounds. By my senior year I had earned a starting position in the rotation as full back (because I knew how block as good as I could run the ball), I was starting middle line backer and one of three team captions! Yes, I believed in me!



During my days at Dixie College I was a good student with the exception of my first quarter. That first quarter pulled my GPA down. Despite doing very well otherwise, when I hit the University of Utah and told the councilor I was going to medical school she had a true detrol ( a drug used to treat urinary incontance) moment! She nearly wet her pants laughing so hard. You?! Get into medical school you have a Good GPA but that first quarter you did less than poor! I pointed I had a very competitive marks otherwise.


So I went to work! Pulling A's throughout my premed work and psychology degree at the the U of U. Not only did I get in to medical school but went on to graduate from medical school in the top 5% of my class! Yes I believe in me!



There will be times in all our lives when the only person pulling for you is your self. Never ever give in! Never ever give UP! Most importantly, keep showing up and giving 110% to everything you do. Keep a positive mental picture in the direction you wan to go and DO NOT stop believing in yourself! I believe in me and I believe in you! The human spirit with God's help can overcome and achieve anything!



I am now embarking on project 218 and 1/2! More to come! stay tuned!

Aloha! Stand up and say it real loud ALOHA! Does that not feel really good! Did you ever wounder why the Hawaiian people used one word for hello and good by? I have always pondered this. I used to think it was because they are considered by the Western world to be a primitive culture. I beg to differ. What if they really get it? Aloha, the meaning of life! Why we are here on the planet earth. Think about this. If you understand that life is circular and what goes around comes around. Then why not have one word for hello and good by. You are never really saying either. Eventually you will see one another again. It may not be in this life but we will see one another again. So the logic works (if you belive in God,  Heaven and we all come from and return to source).

So lets take this one step further. The Aloha Spirit. What is it? If you have ever spent time in the Hawaiian Island you quickly come to understand the Aloha Spirit is the spirit of unconditional love. You must first love yourself unconditionally then you can began to love others unconditonally. Understanding the Aloha spirit means you understand you are a piece of God just like everyone and every living creature on this planet. Therefor to love your self unconditionally you must then love everyone else the same way because we all come from the same source! We are all one in the same! It is the same energy beating al our hearts! The Aloha Spirit in action, unconditional love!

So say ALOHA! Keeping in mind we all are from the same source, one great Love on the same adventure back to the source we call God! So fill your heart with the Aloha Spirit and love your self and love one another! ALOHA my Friends!

Personl Echos

We all send vibrational energy out into the world. What most of us forget is that what ever we send out into the universe will echo back at us. It could return very quickly or take its own sweet time. If you want good things to come into your life you must be sending out good vibrational energy.

This starts with good thoughts. The thoughts of today become your reality of tomorrow. Once you start to understand this principle you start to monitor your thinking patterns. You become very careful about what you think about.

Thoughts lead to action, action lead to results. What I have learned is if I want specific results, I must start with that specific thought. Keeping my thoughts on what I want to echo back at me allows the universe to echo back at me what I want. The scary thing is the universe will echo the bad back at me as well. If my thoughts are on all the bad and anxiety provoking. Anxiety and stress and a lot of negative energy is what will echo back at me.

What you think about is what you shall be! The key here is what I THINK about and NOT what I want is the action that will be set into motion. The universe could care less about what I want. Thoughts not wants is what shows up!

Keep up the positive! I know if I keep my thoughts on the good and the wonderful, the good and the wonderful is what eventually will show up on time in perfect Harmony with my life!
