BrainEv on US Television

You may remember that yesterday I discussed the "Brain Evolution System."

Now, "BrainEv" is a 6-CD brainwave program that puts your brain into a state of peak performance.

Bringing you awesome life benefits - such as sharper thinking, greater creativity, unlimited energy, an immunity to stress, and much more.

I've followed the program myself - and enjoyed the amazing results.

That's why in December 2007, I took over as the director of the company - and worked with the team to get this program out to the world.

And it was all unleashed YESTERDAY - November 3rd, 2008.

Today, I'd like to share a video with you to explain precisely what the Brain Evolution System is all about.

This is a feature aired on US television yesterday - and features the BrainEv Labs chief developer, Michael Kelley.

Just listen in to learn more about "BrainEv" - I'm sure you'll be interested in what he has to say.

The Voice of Truth

Today, I'd like to share a fantastic little video with you, from modern Christian music band, Casting Crowns.

You don't need to be a Christian to enjoy this song. It's all about courage - and it'll inspire you, I guarantee it.

So, will you choose to listen - and believe the voice of truth?

Improve Your Music

I had a great friend visit this Saturday.

And he discussed with me how music is the single thing that spans all countries and cultures.

It's a way of communicating that our brains understand on a very deep level.

By association, music can also often put you into a certain mood.

Play some Chet Baker from "Playing By Hearts" for example - and you'll find it hard to stop the tears streaming from my eyes.

Other songs put me into that wonderous "FEEL GREAT - ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE!" mood.

Today, I'd like to share a few of my favourite "YAY!" songs with you - to help get you into a great mood, too.

In the self-development world, people undervalue the importance of being surrounded by great music.

It's a form of motivation - and motivation, like showering (says Zig Ziglar), should be done daily.

(Now if you're reading this by e-mail, you won't be able to see the videos. So visit http://www.karlblog.com/ to tune in!)

So, here goes... starting with my current favourite, from The Kooks...

Christian the Lion

Today, I'd like to share a beautiful video.

There are no words of "wisdom" I'd like to accompany this post, just a suggestion that you watch this mini-movie.

It'll change your day.

And all it takes is a few short minutes.

This heart-warming video was sent to me by friend Mark Sandler - and certainly brought a tear or two to my eye.

I hope it touches you as much as it did me.

If You Want to Sing Out...

Today, a really profound video for those that really "get it."

It's a fantastic Cat Stevens song that I think you'll love.

Play it on loop. Understand the words. If you need to, change. And if you don't, don't.

Enjoy :)

(Reading this by e-mail? Visit www.karlblog.com to view the full thing.)

Lyrics:

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are

And if you want to live high, live high
And if you want to live low, live low
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are

Chorus:
You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you find a new way
You can do it today

You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
you see ah ah ah
its easy ah ah ah
You only need to know

Well if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are

And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
'Cause there's a million things to do
You know that there are

Chorus

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be

You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are

Hope for Happy Endings

Today, I'd like to chat about that distinctly human quality...

Hope.

The idea that things can change. That it can get better, that the day will be brighter tomorrow, that people will smile again.

When life seems empty, hollow, lacking direction - and just plain pointless - hope is the one thing that pulls us through.

And the great thing about you and me - is that we have it.

Miles and miles of unlimited hope, all stored neatly inside ourselves.

Think about it.

Are you feeling sorry for yourself right now?

Are there things in your life you've resigned yourself to having lost... or having second best... ?

Is there something you know you should change?

We always have HOPE.

A belief - an intention - of change for the better.

A knowingness that we can always hope for a brighter today - and accept those things we simply can't change (and maybe even become stupidly obsessed about).

Scottish author Alexander Chalmers said "The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for."

In the areas of your life that are hollow right now...

... How's your hope looking?

And here's a thought.

Why not pump up your hope? Make it big and bright and beautiful. Keep it high. Stop feeling sorry for yourself - and get out and change the world.

Remember, your HOPE - your intention - sets your direction. (Read more about that here.)

So, hope for better things - and then make them happen.

Then get ready for many, many happy endings!

Love - Karlos ;)


PS. Here's a great video to get you inspired today! I absolutely love this song. Keep fascinated! Reading this by e-mail? View the video online at www.karlblog.com. Whoo-oh, whooh-ohhh!

If You Want the Rainbow

"Life is just a series of peaks and troughs.

"And you don't know whether you're in a trough until you're climbing out.

"Or on a peak until you're coming down.

"You never know what's around the corner.

"It's all good.

"If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain."

Aude Aliquid Dignum

One friend of mine, Joe Vitale, is in the habit of saying "Aude aliquid dignum!"

Or... "Dare Something Worthy."

Today's post is just a reminder of that. And I'm going to do it by giving a little perspective.

A few weeks ago, I watched the movie Contact, starring Jodie Foster. It's based on the novel by late Carl Sagan. Although I don't necessarily share all of Carl's views, he was a great man... and no matter what he may think, he's somewhere out there :)

The introduction to the movie however included an amazing three minutes of tracking back. From a picture of earth and its various radio signals... out into deep, deep space.

It's staggering -- and it should make you realize that we aren't that big after all.

Our actions really aren't of any real significance.

This blog post is hardly likely to ever go down in history. And as far as the "BIG EVERYTHING" is concerned, Karl Moore is hardly likely to ever really mean anything.

All we're ever likely to be, or do, or anything... is what we be, or do, RIGHT NOW.

So what could YOU dare that is worthy today?

And why not JUST DO IT...

After all, it's really not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things.

Lloyd Jones said: "If you have tried to do something and failed you are vastly better than if you had tried to do nothing and succeeded."

So go on. Dare something worthy.

Now I'll leave you with my second favourite scene in the movie. The timewarps!

One Fine Day

How are you today?

Take a moment to reflect ... are you happy and fulfilled? 

Are you enjoying the time of your life?

If not, then what are you going to do about it?

There is no better time than NOW so seize the day!

Not only seize it, but own it too! 

Henry David Thoreau said: 'Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.'

So, make sure that you're focused on living your best time ever - NOW.

Let go of the sabotaging thoughts and feelings that are holding you back or telling you that you can't live your dream. 

Realize that you're here to experience life and to enjoy it.

You are more than worthy of living your best time ever.

Consider the positive in your life and be grateful for everything that you have. 

In fact, celebrate those simple but powerful gifts that you possess ... gifts such as love, kindness, forgiveness, compassion, vitality, freedom of spirit, joy and so on.

You really have so much to be grateful for.

Celebrate the uniqueness that is YOU!

When you focus on making this your best time ever, you really start to live life with meaning and truth.

So, make this the day that you change your life for the better.

Make this... One Fine Day.

Don't Rain On My Parade

"Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day.

"Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business.

"Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy.

"Guard your fragile life carefully.

"Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces."

-- Og Mandino, inspirational author

In Having New Eyes

Everybody hurts.

You know, there's one little saying I carry very close to my heart:

"Everyone's having a rough time. Don't give them any more grief."

And isn't that just the truth?

We all get down. I mean, sometimes really down.

Down as in wanting the earth's crust to open up and swallow what little pride we have left.

Yes, indeed. Everybody hurts.

However we can always take solice in the idea that everything passes.

Today we hurt. Tomorrow we smile.

In the words of Hercule Poirot, (that oh-so-famous self-help guru), "Now, it is cloudy. In the morning, the sun shines. Such is life, madame."

So, are you hurting right now?

Do you feel low... lower... or, even lower than that?

And if so, maybe you could just find a small smile inside -- when you think of the sun that is already waiting to shine tomorrow morning.

The problem may not fade. But the way you see it will.

French novelist Marcel Proust said:

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes - but in having new eyes."

Yes, everybody hurts.

Allow yourself to hurt just a little. Then rest, and remember that the sun will shine again tomorrow morning. Allowing you to look at the issue with new eyes. Hopeful eyes. Eyes of happiness.

And smile.

Because you are.

Positive Thinking, Positive Drinking

When asked what song most Brits associate with comedy duo Morecambe & Wise, I suspect the most common response would be "Bring Me Sunshine."

But this bright pair also sung a variety of other numbers on their show.

And one of my favourite is this one: "Positive Thinking."

So if you're feeling even a little bit down today, take a listen.

It might just bring a smile to your face :)

The Roses of Success

I love this fantastic song from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

The words are brilliant. And it's a great reminder to pick yourself up, even when failure looks imminent.

Remember, disaster didn't stymie Louis Paster... and Edison took years to see the light.

Right? :)

RAK #42: Write a Letter of Appreciation!

Welcome to another Monday morning Random Act of Kindness!

Today's suggestion comes courtesy of best-selling author, Nick Daws, who writes:

"The next time you receive particularly good service in a shop, restaurant or even a government office, don't just thank the person concerned. Get their name and write a letter of praise to their manager!

"If for some reason you can't get their name, describe them in enough detail so that their manager will have no problem identifying who it is. Many people working in service industries get little recognition for their efforts, so something like this really can make their day!"

Not sure if that really makes a difference?

It happened recently to my neighbour and friend, Geoffrey Gregg, with whom I play chess and Countdown regularly.

In this video, Geoff talks about about how someone wrote a letter of appreciation for his organ playing at the local crematorium...



(If you're reading this by e-mail, visit http://www.karlblog.com/ to view the full video.)

Listen to his words.

Geoff says that he'll keep that card... until he dies.

Would you like to make a difference to someone's life as deep as that?

Then get to it. Write a letter of appreciation.

If you're not convinced of exactly what being appreciative can do for you, read my earlier post here: http://www.karlblog.com/blog/2007/01/power-of-positivity.html

And have a GREAT Monday! :)

They're Not Laughing Now!

I love late comedian Bob Monkhouse.

I even have one of his books on public speaking, crammed with those one-liners he was so famous for.

If you live in the UK, you may have heard about his recent posthumous ad, in which he appears in his own graveyard promoting prostate cancer.
