What Would You Do?
What would you do if you were royalty?
If you were a king or queen with Divine favor bestowed upon you?
Would you exude an air of quiet confidence?
Of expecting to receive graciously and often from people, and give them your favor in return?
Would you have a sense of internal satisfaction, knowing your place in the world was assured?
What would you no longer be willing to accept, in actions or words?
Well, in case you forgot, there is a king or queen in you.
Reach inside you and find him or her.
More Semi-Random (But Profound) Thoughts
A collection of stuff recently published.
A lot of our “take-aways” – the things we use to guide how we think and what we do – come from those little nuggets we discover here and there.
Maybe you’ll find one or two here!

When someone doesn’t keep their word with us, we become conditioned to stop believing them. It’s only natural. Same thing works within ourselves. So what say you start making little promises to yourself that you actually keep…and then build from there?
*** ***
People will do more for someone else than they will for themselves. So…act as if that someone you’re doing for is your best self you haven’t met yet…and DO for them!!!
*** ***
If you haven’t stayed up all night at least five times working on your dream, it’s not important enough to you for it to come true.
*** ***
Everyone is someone’s child.
*** ***
When you stop giving a $%#! about what others think of you, weak people will run away. And you will become very attractive to strong, rich, powerful, sexy, happy people.
*** ***
Confidence is usually quiet. But it sure does know how to party. (I turned that into one of my signature quotes.)
*** ***
You can have doubt, and fear and suspicion. You can be shy about taking a risk. You can question the motives of those who market to you, offer their help and expect an exchange of energy. You can do anything you want.
When you’re done with the skepticism, go someplace quiet and ask yourself if that hesitation, that lack of trust and commitment is a big part of what’s held you back from the happiness and success you crave. (What a powerful word….CRAVE!)
*** ***
You understand that lifting people up – genuinely – especially on the Internet makes you irresistible, right?
*** ***
You won’t get anything you “need.” The energy of lack creates more of the same.
Now DESIRE….that’s another story.
Christopher Columbus Loves You
…or for the purists, Cristobal Colon.
.
(I never understood why English speakers call it Italy, or Spain, or Germany. It’s just as easy to say Italia or Espana or Deutschland, but that’s a rant for another time.)
.
ADVANCE NOTICE: This will probably offend a few of you. Believe me…I have nothing but love in my heart today. And if your assumptions are challenged or delicate sensibilities are disturbed, I honestly and truly apologize…and at the same time I don’t give a crap.
.
It’s Columbus Day here in the United States.
.
It’s probably the most misunderstood and least popular national holiday, other than the fact that kids get off from school and many adults get a day off from work.
.
So let me shed some light on it.
.
Columbus was a hero.
.
Yes, because of him an entire civilization got upended. There was much bloodshed, misery, victimization of a significant part of the world, etc. Guilty as charged.
.
And if you want to pretend that kind of stuff wasn’t going on before Columbus set sail, feel free. We’re all entitled to our own delusions.
.
And if you want to pretend it isn’t happening today, rock and roll!
.
But back to the original point…Columbus was a hero.
.
Whatever else you want to think of the guy, he was perhaps the greatest entrepreneur in the history of civilization.
.
Think about what he did…
.
* He had an idea that completely went against the thinking of the time. “Round earth? Are you kidding me?”
.
* He was willing to flip around his entire life to prove his theory. Yeah, there was gold involved. There were other valuables too…spices, whatever else we learned in grade school, etc. So show me someone today who isn’t taking a chance with the expectation of getting paid.
.
* He sold his vision to a team. He got a whole bunch of guys to throw down with him, knowing there was all kinds of danger waiting. Talk about someone who could motivate!
.
* He attracted the top venture capitalists of the time to bankroll the enterprise. Columbus was Italian, but he got Ferdinand and Isabella to give him the ships, the supplies, the guys. He might have been the greatest salesman that ever lived.
.
* He took half of the world and got it working in his system. Yeah, there was slavery and pillaging involved. But that’s just the way they rolled in the 16th and 17th centuries. There was no Amnesty International to protest, and the Catholic Church wasn’t the organization that it is today.
.
* And don’t forget…he made the trip two more times after the 1492 gig. He was a hands on manager…know what I mean?
.
In other words, Columbus did what so many people strive to do today: he took complete control of his destiny. He attracted the resources he needed for his vision, and he bent the world to his will.
.
Now that’s something worth celebrating.
.
And yes, there was suffering. There was murder. There was slavery.
.
In the context of the time, it was business as usual.
.
Newsflash…fifty years from now people are going to look back at the way we treat each other today and think we’re barbarians. In the rules of that future society, they will be right.
.
But we haven’t evolved to that place yet.
.
Do you think Columbus got up one day and said, “Hmmmmm…think I’ll destroy a race of people.”
.
Or was it more like, “Hmmmm….I know there’s something big and world changing to do, and I’m gonna get rich in the process. Let’s have an adventure!”
.
It was also 500 years ago. Societies have put themselves back together faster than that. They need their own heroes.
.
They need to make their own opportunities.
.
And they’ve gotta create partnerships with the rest of the world. Bring value. Expect value in return.
.
Think that doesn’t work?
.
The two biggest and richest casinos in North America are right here in Connecticut. They both sit on Indian reservations. A downtrodden people have their culture back.
.

.
And, oh yeah…take a look at the skin color of the guy sitting in the Oval Office.
.
Stop blaming the conquering army for everything that’s gone wrong.
.
Get over it.
.
Don’t like what the government is doing? Go to meetings. Get elected.
.
Anonymous posts on news stories ain’t gonna do it.
.
Neither is whining on Facebook.
.
Better than that…create your own economy.
.
Make it part of your own reality.
.
Make it a good one.
.
Let people know what you’re doing.
.
Watch how they line up to be part of it.
.
It’s what Columbus did.
.
We’re humans. We strive. We grow.
.
We hurt others. And we learn from it.
.
If you aren’t striving for more, you’re serving someone who is.
.
And you don’t get to complain about that and expect things to change.
.
Columbus changed the world. For better…in the long run.
.
In a strange way, he loved you.
.
He wanted to leave a legacy for future generations. He wanted to open up the world.
.
And he did.
.
Open up YOUR own world.
.

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.
B.K.
Washington
"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."
Emily P.
United Kingdom
"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."
Katherine A.
Maryland
"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."
Richard C.
Massachusetts
"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."
Timor P.
Israel
"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."
Liz M.
California
"Woo Hoo! connecting with you has already sent me in such a good direction! Thank you Larry."
Dianne C.
Massachusetts
"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."
