I am reading an interesting book I found lying on our coffee table. It’s about the Australian Aborigines.
This is not my first introduction to this magnificent race, but it is my first introduction to a novel idea about them and their society I think we all could benefit to understand.
The following few paragraphs are paraphrased from the book Voices of the First Day by Robert Lawlor.
Before the advent of agriculture, the world was populated with hunter/gatherers. These peoples (like the American Indians and the Aborigines) owned no property, worshiped the Earth that provided all, and cared for everyone in the tribe. (more…)

I wrote the book BeDoHave – The Cure the Great Unknown American Epidemic almost three years ago now. Thousands have heard the message contained within and have told me it works for them.
Over the winter I found myself falling back on Doing Having Being! And my life changed dramatically – for the worse!
Once I saw what I was doing and changed it back to Being first – it took a very short time to restore the equilibrium I need in my life. My energy returned, my happiness level soared back to previous level.
(Hang on – there is a point to this story!)
If you have read much of my articles over the last five years, you are aware Shelly and I built a sailboat to live on for six years. I loved it. We decided when our first son was 5 to come back from the Carribbean, sell the boat and make lots of money. (more…)

If I believe in the natural laws of the Universe (as I should), there are several to keep in mind as I go about my business of finding happiness on a daily basis while ensuring a good life for myself and my family.
Among some of the laws I pay attention to are the 80/20 rule, the law of attraction and the law of equal but opposite actions.
April 15 is a good example of the law of equal but opposite actions. Another way to look at this law is to define it as challenges and opportunities. If for every action there is an equal but opposite action, then for every challenge there is an equal but opposite opportunity.
Does this sound familiar?
Somehow I have blessed with the ability to search for the opportunity long before I see something as a challenge.
In fact, challenges excite me as I know what is coming is in all probability an opportunity to achieve a wish, want or goal. I can get excited simply by thinking that the Universe is sending me this opportunity to learn, gain or help in some way with outcomes I had never even considered!
However, when it comes right down to it, isn’t this all about choice? Each of us has the choice to decide whether something is an opportunity or a challenge. Is the glass half full or half empty?
On April 15, we all have the opportunity to feed the goose that lays the golden eggs. We live in the most incredible land of opportunity in the world and we must support that land.
Is the goose too fat? Certainly. Does the goose eat too much. Absolutely.
As Jim Rohn says “Better a fat goose than no goose at all!”
Don’t worry. Be happy.

Welcome to the new subscribers. I am always amazed and honored that you saw something in the posts to encourage you to ask for more.
I am in the middle of a lot of changes. One of them is a new site.
A friend from Hawaii and I were very excited to launch www.supersuccessfulkids.com last week to start a community dedicated to helping our kids define what success is for them and then help them achieve it. (more…)
