I Have A Dream, Too
I love Martin Luther King, Jr. I love everything he stood for, and still stands for.
I love the nonviolent civil disobedience of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960′s and 70′s…of facing down anger and hatred with love, compassion, courage and a determination to live the kind of life each of us has a right to.
I’m not interested in writing a history lesson. There are plenty of good places to go if that’s what you’re after.
I’m more interested in the present, and what you’re doing with YOUR life…NOW.
Because if you listen to Dr. King closely, he had one eye on what was happening then with black people (his words)…
…and one eye on the future…when people are judged, “not by the color of their skin, but on the content of their character.”
What he really wanted was to give everyone a chance to live out their Divine purpose, and not get tripped up by silliness like what color your skin is.
His biggest lesson for me, a white Jewish guy is the willingness to step outside one’s comfort zone.
Because if you think your life is gonna get any better by doing the same old thing, thinking the same old thing, reacting to life the same old way….
You know better.
Thanks to Martin Luther King, Jr. and many others, the struggle isn’t so much outside anymore.
(No matter what Wall Street does or what the politicians tell you.)
The challenge is inside.
Break the barriers.
Break the bondage of bad habits and poverty thinking.
Open your mind and your heart.
Let the blessings in.
I”m proud to share it.
I’m proud to sell it.
Yeah, a few bucks to build the framework for a better life.
When you think about what others had to go through to achieve their liberty.
When you think about what people in other parts of the world are going through now.
You had better appreciate all the good stuff you have.
And you have a responsibility to actively design your own life.
Or don’t whine when any outside force takes your choices from you.
Happy Birthday, Dr. King.
Thanks for blazing a trail…for all of us.
Your Friend,
Larry Hochman

How To Juggle (and Change Your Life Forever)
"I’ve coached with Larry before and always came away with something good that I could use. Last winter I hit a bad patch of doldrums — just couldn’t get out of my own way. I definitely needed a jump start and figured that Larry was the man to do it. I told Larry I needed someone to kick my a** - in a good way - and he has done a great job. As always. Thanks to Larry, I’m back on track physically, mentally, and emotionally, and I’m getting stuff done.

"Larry’s influence has helped me embrace, acknowledge and appreciate whatever is going on in my life. I feel myself growing in confidence and stature as I rediscover the imaginative, reactive magnificent ME. I’m seeing life from a whole new perspective, loving this idea of playing BIG, right now it feels like an overarching radiance, beginning to notice far reaching ripple effects as I dance through life, creating a splash and inviting people to join in."

"Larry has a gift for telling it like it is, has a real, down to earth approach to motivating people to jump not just ahead in their lives, but onto a whole new higher plane than ever thought possible."

"In a world where so many people are stuck in a metaphysical morass, Larry has a uniquely tender ability to reach out from the heart and touch your soul."

"Working with Larry was very helpful and gave me a lot of strength. And I feel things for me are moving forward, I have a long way to go, but I’m confident in my path."

"Larry positively impacts my life in ways I am regularly surprised at, and am incredibly grateful for. He seems to have devoted his life to the enlightenment, freedom and liberation of ALL of us. A human being with such HUGE love and great intention is undeniable. He is simultaneously humble yet powerful. Wise yet playful and lighthearted. A great teacher, yet just one of us, learning as he goes. He inspires me to do and be all
those things, too. A person doesn’t have to have it ALL figured out to lead another up to their next level, they just need to have gone a little before them. We are all here to uplift and inspire each other, and Larry gets that. I would recommend him as a guide to anyone. If you feel drawn to him, GO with that."

"Larry is so spontaneous and has a wonderful gift of bringing joy, laughter, seriousness and his expertise in psychology that makes the time fun, uplifting and enlightening."
