Everything will happen for you all of a sudden. All the disappointments, the challenges, the struggles, the ups and the downs will all finally make sense. You will be thankful that you didn’t give-up. Great blessings are coming your way. Believe it. Trust it.

Are you ready for your circumstances to change completely?

Have you been working nonstop towards a seemingly unreachable goal?

Are you ready for that to dissolve into the reality that you have achieved it?

When we invest all of our time, money and energy towards the realization of something that is so astronomically large, as to even give ourselves, in our private moments of consternation, concern that we might not potentially ever achieve it, we are opening ourselves to the larger vulnerabilities of the universe.

In this exposure to systems so much larger than those that we are capable of controlling, we are taught the parameters of what is, and what is not, possible within those mega systems.

In the course of our working to achieve these goals, our interaction and engagement with these systems give us ever more reason to be mindful of the modifiable variables within ourselves, that enable us to surf difficult terrain, and still prevail, long-term.

When we are put to these kinds of tests and forced to recognize what the various limitations are that are inherently weighting our chances of success, we are offered an incredible opportunity to mature and to improve our overall approach, and refine whatever aspects of that which we are doing, that require refinement, such that we might hone our overall skills and thereby arrive at the destination of our choosing.

Relying upon others to help us to garner such a privileged education, in the course of our development, enables us to learn from them and thereby leverage some of their wisdom, and propel us that much further towards our overall goal.

The ability to leverage third person, other people’s prior experiences, facilitates our overall ability as a specie, to stand on the shoulders of those who came before us, and as a consequence, create the giants of the future.

Only through our continuous recognition that these are the resources and the necessary tools that we must employ to facilitate our success, will we ever ultimately mature to the level that enables us to seek even higher aspirations and arrive at even more opportune goals.

Happy Wednesday!

When I was 5 years old, I discovered that the lemon tree in the backyard + dixie cups + water and sugar and I was in business. I have been hooked on that ever since. In 1979, I borrowed $14,000 to create a brand new product... photographic greeting cards with no text on the inside, called Paradise Photography. That was the start of The Illusion Factory. Since then, The Illusion Factory has been entrusted by all of the major studios and broadcasters with the advertising and marketing of over $7 billion in filmed, live, broadcast, gaming, AR, VR and regulated gaming forms of entertainment, generating more than $100 Billion in revenue and 265 awards for creativity and technology for our clients. When I took a break from film school at UCLA to move to Hawaii, my mother did not lecture me. Instead, she took 150 of her favorite aphorisms and in her beautiful calligraphy, wrote them artistically throughout a blank journal. That is the origin of the Lessons from the Mountain series. Since then, on my journeys to the top of a mountain to watch the sunrise, I have spent countless hours contemplating words of wisdom from the sages of all races, genders and political persuasions, constantly accumulating the thoughts to guide me on my life path. I hope you enjoy my books. Please let me know your thoughts, as I highly value your feedback!
