All Things Come to an End—Even Good Things!

The Soul Talk Guys have been bringing you amazing episodes—full of wisdom and learning—since their very first installment on April 18, 2014. It has been a wonderful, magical, and inspirational ride, and David & Tommy are extremely proud of what they have created together and delivered to you.

But we all come to points in our lives where we have to make decisions, and recently Tommy had a personal A-Ha that woke him up to a whole new opportunity in his life—something that he simply cannot ignore. Unfortunately, this new venture means that he won’t have the bandwidth available to continue with Life Mastery TV, so he will be co-hosting his final episode this week.

What does this mean for Life Mastery TV? Well, clearly things are going to be different going forward, and David will be looking for new ways to continue bringing this material to you. But for this week, the focus will be on celebrating one of the co-founders of this amazing team, and to wish him well on his continuing journey.

So, please join David & Tommy for the final episode of Life Mastery TV in its current form. Join the program to find out what to expect from Tommy and to wish him well in his new venture.

Pleasure is a Part of Who We Are—A BIG Part!

We all have plenty of stress and unpleasantness in our lives. In fact, if we allow ourselves to dwell on it, it can sometimes seem like it’s all conflict and struggle and work. And when things get this way, it’s easy to forget to have fun. We get to the place where we can’t see the forest for the trees, so to speak, and we may even forget that fun and play even exists.

Unless, of course, we have a plan…

A plan?? Well, yes, and it makes total sense, if you think about it for a minute. We have to practice pleasure so that it resurfaces as a part of who we are.

In this installment of Life Mastery TV, the Soul Talk Guys discuss what it takes to make pleasure a bigger part of our lives. And to help them, they’ve invited back none other than Barbara Musser, a student and facilitator of transformation and evolution.

As someone who has navigated through traumas of her own, Barbara has come to really appreciate the importance of pleasure and fun and play in our lives. She has learned to tap into her own innate playfulness in a way that makes it really easy for people around her to re-connect to their own inner pleasure-seekers. And what’s more, Barbara is really good at helping people to do this without guilt or shame! Imagine that: having fun…guilt-free!

Pleasure shouldn’t be the last thing on your to-do list! Rather, it should be something that is at least as important as anything else in your life. After all, creating pleasure in your life is just another way of taking care of yourself—of loving yourself. And pleasure is as easy to find as picking up a pebble from the ground! It’s true. Pleasure has endless forms—if you only open yourself to it.

Join David & Tommy, along with their guest Barbara Musser, to find out just how easy it can be for you to create your very own

Pleasure Plan!

The Body Never Lies—So Let’s Pay More Attention to It!

If you are seeking truth about something in your life, one of the best places to find it is right within your body. This is not something that people necessarily understand immediately, but if you think about it for a moment, you can see that it is so.

All you have to do is bring a thought or idea into your mind, and then check in with your body to see how you feel about it. If you pay close enough attention to the feeling, you will see that it contains great wisdom for you.

Most of us don’t think of our bodies as being a source of wisdom and truth, and David & Tommy think that’s unfortunate, and they want to change that thinking just a little bit. So, they invited an expert on the topic of Body Wisdom, Andrea Isaacs, to share some of her expertise on this subject.

Andrea is a master of change. She’s been a leading thinker in the Enneagram world for many years. She is the creator of two Body Wisdom techniques that promote and support your best next steps for the change you want in your life. Her system

• increases your emotional intelligence,
• connects you to your best and highest self, and
• teaches you how to shift uncomfortable emotions into emotions that bring ease, peace and joy.

If you want to achieve any of the following benefits:

• Expedite your inner knowing—trust yourself, make easier and wiser decisions, have better gut instinct;
• Learn how to embody emotions that you find elusive—more confidence, more patience, more inner peace, etc., and
• Create new neural pathways that support whatever change you want in your life…

…Then you’ll want to take a leap and jump right into the deep end for this episode! Watch the video (and leave a comment ) You won’t regret your decision!

Are You Ready to Go Beyond Form?

Our lives are transformed not through becoming divine, but through the realization that ALL of our experiences have served the purpose of awakening us to our divine nature.

These are the words of Hu Dalconzo, Master Coach and founder of the Holistic Learning Center, and author of the book Self-Mastery: A Journey Home to Yourself. Tommy & David are both pleased and excited to have Hu joining them as a guest in this episode.

If you have been watching the Life Mastery TV shows with any regularity, then you already have a good idea what to expect, because you are already on a path of personal growth and transformation. But this episode, the Soul Talk Guys want to really deepen your experience and help you to move toward what they are calling

Intentional Transformation!

That’s right! This conversation is designed to intensify your Spiritual Transformation in a way that leads you to create your own reality, rather than being created by your reality. That is a big leap of awareness for some people, but the truth is, many of us in the world really have no idea how powerful we are because we’ve forgotten the truth of our nature. And consequently, we live our lives from a place of limitation and restriction—borne of the thoughts, ideas, beliefs and identities of our ego-mind.

And to help shed some light on this phenomenon—and better yet, to help you rise above it—Tommy & David invited Hu Dalconzo to share some of his amazing wisdom and brilliance with you.

You have had many experiences, and you will have many more before you leave this plane, and they are all brought to you (by you!) to help you fulfill your purpose and to evolve to the next perfect version of whoever you are supposed to be. But what you may not realize is that you have a choice: you can either let things happen as if by chance, or you can tap into the Truth of who you really are, and begin to move more intentionally along your path. You can choose to evolve intentionally, and all it takes is a decision to be present to who you really are and make all your choices consciously. Sounds relatively easy, doesn’t it?

Well, friend, it may not be quite that simple, which is why Hu Dalconzo helps us all to understand how to make the process as easy as it can be. Check out the video—you’ll be glad you did! And please…leave a comment below!

Challenges Keep Happening…Until they Stop Happening?!?

Well, here we go again. And again. And again. Another challenge. Another issue. Another lesson. Another FOG (f*****g opportunity for growth!).

The sooner you accept this is the way it’s going to be, until it no longer needs to be this way, the sooner this will no longer need to be the way.

Huh!? Let’s hear that again.

The sooner you accept that life will keep giving you challenges until you overcome them, the sooner life will stop throwing you the same challenges.

Said another way, we’ve all come here to learn certain lessons about being human, and the sooner we learn our lessons, the sooner we get to get out of school, run outside, and play.

Sometimes it just takes a slight shift in perspective. Sometimes we only need a little nudge to see things in a better light, to understand that what appears to be bad stuff may actually be happening to us for our ultimate benefit. Because, after all, doesn’t it seem (at least in retrospect) that whatever happens is always exactly what we needed at the time?

And you know, the sooner we realize and the more deeply we accept this virtually untaught truth, the sooner we can get on with our primary goal in this world—being happy. We all want to be happy, and while you can try to fake it till you make it, you almost certainly won’t truly make it until you cross that bridge over troubled water you always seem to find yourself on!

And that’s exactly what the Soul Talk Guys discuss in this episode of Life Mastery TV. In this installment, Tommy & David remind us that in order to Resolve our inner differences, we often have to Re-Solve the same problem a few times before we learn the lesson the way it needs to be learned. If you find that the same-old-same-olds keep happening like a distorted re-run of Groundhog Day, that might be an indication that it’s time to try a different approach!

Join the Soul Talk Guys as they once again go looking for trouble in all the right places! You know you want to!

Laughter is Contagious and has a Powerful and Immediate Positive Effect.

When we are children, we have a natural tendency to find ways of having fun, enjoying life, and LAUGHING a lot. But as we grow up, as we become more and more influenced by the conditioning of the adults in our lives, we seem to disconnect from our natural playful nature. Even though we may secretly long for the playfulness of our youth, we seem to abide by the dictates of society and “grow up” to become much more serious. About almost EVERYTHING!

But, we might ask: what does it cost us?

You don’t need humor or comedy to laugh. You can choose to laugh if you really want to! It’s true! And amazingly, the body receives the same physical and emotional benefits from “pretend laughter” as it does from the real thing.

As you’ve heard the Soul Talk Guys mention on numerous occasions, we often work very hard to contain our emotions in our body. Well, guess what? Laughter, like tears, can be a great release!

In this episode, David & Tommy are joined by a certified Laughter Yoga Leader, Linda Shively, who shares her wisdom about this subject.

The benefits of laughter cannot be overstated. And if you take it a step further and begin to practice Laughter Yoga, then you can expect to:

• Increase blood flow and oxygen in your body
• Enhance uplifting endorphin levels
• Reduce pain
• Stimulate the immune, digestive, and cardiac systems
• Reduce stress levels
• Stretch and relax tight muscles
• Have fun!

So, join the fun and check out the video! Let Tommy & David and their beautiful guest Linda Shively inspire you to reconnect to that delightful little child within who just loves to laugh!

Sharing Your Gifts with a World that Needs You

In this time of so much change, intensity and challenge in the world, it’s critical that we find ways to serve others with our gifts, our passions and our missions.

Being an integral contributor to the evolution of our culture and our planet—shifting it to be more just, sustainable and peaceful—is the path of the Global Messenger. But try as we might, we can’t really do it alone.

As change agents it’s important for each of us to get the support we need to thrive—while we are passionately helping others to thrive. The time has come to grow and empower our community of Global Messengers so that we can collectively be the change we want to see in the world.

This week, David & Tommy are pleased to welcome back an amazing man to the Life Mastery TV stage: Chris Kyle, entrepreneur, teacher, coach, facilitator, and all around great guy. In this episode, Chris and the Soul Talk Guys will be discussing the idea of individual gifts, and how important they are for making our world a better place.

This is not meant to be maudlin or depressing, but think about this for a moment. Suppose something completely unexpected happens to you and you wind up on your death bed contemplating the life you have lived. Will you be pleased with what you have done so far? Can you honestly leave this world knowing you have fully expressed yourself? Is there anything at all within you that you wish you had taken time to cultivate and share?

Don’t move on from this world with an unsung song in your heart, friend! Share it with the world now…before you go.

Please join David & Tommy for another empowering and enlightening discussion that will inspire and entertain.

How We Give Our Power Away by Blaming Others for Our Feelings

• You make me angry!
• You made me cry.
• That really pissed me off.
• That hurt my feelings.

Sound familiar?

Even if you don’t say these words out loud (anymore), there’s a pretty high probability that you say them in your head. And what you may not realize is that, by blaming someone else for toying with your fragile emotions (even if only in your thoughts), you’re actually telling yourself how weak and unworthy you are. Bet you never thought of that, right?

Well, guess, what, friend? You can stop it now if you want to. You can decide right this moment to stop being a passive victim of other people’s—or even your own—button pushing. As a very direct Teacher might say,
[blockquote variation=”teal”]I’m not making you do or feel anything. You’re letting your feelings be hurt. You’re letting yourself be hurt.[/blockquote]

Way back in Episode 22, someone asked the Soul Talk Guys: “HOW do I not take things personally?” This is a really great question, and a big part of the answer lies at the heart of this week’s episode.

Join David & Tommy as they plunge to the depths of this and other related questions around taking responsibility for our own feelings, our own reactions, and our own situations. You’ll find the teachings very empowering and enlightening.

How to Help Others Without Getting Sucked In

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired, fed up with getting your energy drained? Do you sometimes feel that no matter what you do, you get dragged down by drama?

Whether we’re watching the news or meeting a friend, we’re all subject to heavy mojo… bad news… big emotions. And if we’re not properly trained how to handle it, Life can get us down.

We all carry enough of our own baggage as it is—who wants to carry someone else’s? The truth is, we no longer need to take on the pains of the world. We can help bring peace and love without the heavy burden. We don’t need to take on other’s suffering. We can help others get through their experience without stressing out. We don’t have to make other people’s problems our own—even if our purpose involves helping people get out of trouble.

In this episode, the Soul Talk Guys welcome Emotional Resilience expert Kristen Richardson back to the Life Mastery TV stage. Kristen is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a private mental health practice; she deals with many suffering humans every single day.

Kristen sees many of her fellow Mental Health Practitioners dealing with burnout on a regular basis—and some of them even wind up quitting their much-needed professions. By basing her practice in Loving Compassion, Kristen proves every day that you can deeply help others without taking on their stuff.

If you want to learn how to help others—that is, to expand your desire to serve—without getting sucked in, then you’ll want to watch the video for this episode. If you’ve ever had a friend who’s drained you, a family member who has wiped you out, or a client who seemed determined to drown you, give yourself a big break and check it out!

Fear is the Biggest Fooler of All! What Better Time than April Fool’s Day Shine a Bright Light on it?

Sometime around 1953, an uncredited Christian Scientist came up with a very interesting and revealing backronym for Fear:

False Evidence Appearing Real.

It’s a cute and pithy statement, to be sure, but of course, it isn’t universally true. Sometimes, fear is very real and it has a very valuable purpose—to alert us to danger and thus keep us safe. But, unfortunately, our ego-minds are very fragile parts of our physical being, and they often blow things out of proportion, triggering fear within us that is quite irrational. In other words, it is our ego-minds that trick us into holding ourselves back from doing what our hearts call us to to do. Our ego-minds are almost constantly fooling us with exaggerated—and sometimes downright outrageous—claims about dangers and risks that simply don’t exist.

This week, the Soul Talk Guys revisit the topic of fear, and they’ve invited back a wonderful and gifted teacher, Azmina Jiwa, to share some of her wisdom about this subject.

All of our everyday what if’s create thoughts and images from our childhood conditioning and past experiences, which in turn paralyze into a state of inaction. If you are being fooled by your fears and not living the life you would love to live, then you need to tune in.

In this episode, with the help of Azmina, David & Tommy explore some truths about fears, so they can not fool you any more. Check out this episode and learn how you can override those thoughts and images so as to have the life you truly desire.

And PLEASE remember to leave a comment below!

Want Inspiration? Then You’ll Want to Watch this Webinar!

Sometimes, there are things that happen on our planet that are just plain wrong. Imagine, for example, if you lived somewhere that had very little drinking water. If you weren’t already sick or diseased, if you somehow managed to stay healthy, then you’d probably be scrambling to find decent water for yourself and for your family. Can you imagine how hard your life would be under circumstances like that?

Believe it or not, this is a very real problem for a lot of people in third world countries. And for this episode, the Soul Talk Guys invited two amazing and powerful women to share one delightfully simple and inspiring way of solving this problem.

Spryte Loriano and Audra Erwin are definitely forces to be reckoned with. Spryte has been on a long-term journey to make the world a better place and has demonstrated her passion in many ways with numerous projects that have contributed to many people’s lives. And Audra is a shining light in the world who—as the High on Life Coach—inspires and motivates people to live their lives with total abandon.

These two women found each other—inevitably, one might say—and teamed up to create a program to bring clean and delicious drinking water to 1,000,000 people who really need it. Clearly, these two amazing beings are prime examples of what it means to be

Making Waves!

But guess what, friend? You can make waves too! One reminder that David & Tommy share from time to time is that your waves don’t have to be massive tidal waves. In fact, if you think about it, even a small ripple can often be enough to create a whole movement. All it takes is a recognition of a problem and an authentic, heart-felt desire to find a solution.

So watch the video and hear Spryte and Audra share some of their story. Let them be an inspiration for how you can find your own way to be

Making Waves!

The More Lemonade You Make, the More Lemons You Get!

We’ve all heard the saying

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

And it’s a great metaphor for helping us to stay positive when things don’t conform do our desires or expectations.

But the idea is not just to turn a big lemon into lemonade once in a while, but to get good at doing it all the time. Why? Because the Universe is going to keep giving you the same challenge, over and over and over again, until you solve it. Until you get it. Until you learn the lesson you asked to be taught.

And just like that, by realizing that everything happens for a reason, and everything bad that happens is an opportunity to learn and grow, just like that you can begin to master the Life Mastery technique of

Transforming Adversity.

Transforming, meaning to change, or grow, or shift.
Adversity, meaning the challenges, hard times, complicated relationships, mean people we all face in life.

And the goal here, the trick to truly liberating yourself from the constant barrage of trouble, is to face each situation one at a time and realize there’s something to learn in every obstacle that appears. And with this change of mind, with this shift in consciousness, you can receive a Masters in Adversity Transformation.

When you do, you’ll marvel and be amazed at what happens! You’ll prove to yourself that by facing your trouble, and transforming it into a learning experience, you’ll not only grow and become stronger, but that particular problem will evaporate from your life and never haunt you again. Period!

Join the Soul Talk Guys as they teach you proven, patented practices to overcome the hard stuff in life. Once and for all.

Remember… Do it once, and it will be gone for all of the rest of your life. For Good.

Neuroscience Proves that When We Help Others, We Help Ourselves

This is not a self-serving game, nor is it one of narcissism. It is just a scientific fact.

When we selflessly help others, we release chemicals into our brains that literally make us happy. In other words, we reward ourselves generously by putting our energy into helping others, serving others. And that is why this week, the Soul Talk Guys are making this Public Service Announcement: to encourage everyone to

Be of Service!

Join Tommy & David and learn about some of the the personal and planetary benefits you can experience when you are guided by a principle of service:

• Giving of your time, energy and perhaps money;
• Serving without expecting anything in return;
• Sharing without asking for or talking about recognition;
• Volunteering your mental, physical, or emotional skills for the benefit of others;
• Turning What’s in it for Me to What’s in it for We.

When you can do any of these things from a place of anonymous humility—that is, knowing you’re making a difference without any need for recognition or recompense—you set up a whole cycle that serves to create enormous benefit for you and for the people you are serving.

This is another powerful episode from the Soul Talk Guys… so enjoy the video! And please leave a comment below!

Got Purpose? Makes All the Difference in the World!

Have you ever thought about who you really are and why you’re here in this world?

These are the deep questions that almost all of us end up contemplating at one time or another in our lives. Sadly, many of us find our answers disappointing and unfulfilling. But that’s only because we don’t really know how to look deeply within to find the truth that we are looking for. Or, for some of us, it may be that we are simply afraid of what we might learn about ourselves.

Most people would probably agree that courage is a willingness to work through our fears and simply accept what is real for us. But what exactly is Soul Courage?

This week, Tommy continues his vacation in India, so David has invited a brand new guest to join him and discuss this very topic. Tara-Jenelle Walsch is the founder and spirit behind the Soulebrate greeting card company and the Soulcialize personal development program. Recently, Tara-Jenelle published her brand new book Soul Courage, which is already making waves on Amazon! Naturally, she seems like a perfect fit for the Life Mastery TV family!

The first question Tara-Jenelle asks is

Have you ever thought about who you really are and why you’re here in this world?

Most people share the understanding that Life is about more than the experiences of the Body and the Mind, but it takes a special kind of courage to engage our Soul in our daily encounters. Knowing this is one thing. Knowing how to do it is another. There are no schools offering courses in Soul Connection. But Tara-Jenelle shares some of her wisdom on this subject.

So check out the video for this episode and get some insights into how you can discover a clearly articulated path to Soul Connection with yourself and others, a path that has the potential to create some of the most enriching experiences in your life, allowing you to come alive in ways that can utterly transform your journey of self-awareness to one of soul-awareness.

What Happens When Your Shadow and My Shadow Decide to Interact?

Ours is a human dance of dichotomies, many of which are polar opposites:

• Conscious and Unconscious;
• Yin and Yang;
• Good and Bad;
• Happy and Sad;
• Light and Dark;
• Living and Dying.

These polarities are what make life so rich and wonderful, and it would be difficult to imagine any kind of real experience without them.

Maybe you’re familiar with the magical and entertaining “shadow dance” of Indonesian puppetry. The real magic is that you don’t see what’s really going on or who’s pulling the strings!

These puppet shows remind us of our own behaviors. Have you ever found yourself acting in ways where you wondered to yourself, “What on earth came over me?” When this happens, you might well feel as if there is a hidden force that is pulling your strings!

You may remember back a ways, the Soul Talk Guys talked about Illuminating the Shadow, where they shared some perspectives about the concept of “psychic shadow”. Well, in this episode, they’re back at it, but this time they look at shadow from a slightly different perspective. With Tommy away on vacation in India, David is joined by Beata Lewis to talk about what happens when the shadows of two or more people come out to play and start to interact with one another. You may not have thought about this before, but you have surely experienced the phenomenon, and as the Life Mastery TV team talk about it, you may well recognize and learn something more about

Shadow Dance.

From a personal transformation perspective, true self-awareness and mastery demand the tough work of engaging with your shadow. Bringing your shadow to conscious awareness allows for the emergence of inner knowing and light. And as you wrestle with demons, you usually find ways to heal and love parts of yourself that you may have previously considered to be unlovable. And that only leads to a more authentic—and generally more fulfilling—life.

So, make some time to watch the video of David and Beata in this week’s episode of Life Mastery TV.

You Know Things are Changing when Personal Growth Spreads into the Workplace!

For several years now, there’s been a growing trend in corporate America—a trend of awakening consciousness. It may not have reached your company yet, but if things keep going the way they are and if the Soul Talk Guys have any input, it will soon.

Several major American companies—including Google, Yahoo, Facebook, and Twitter—have been engaged for over five years in bringing Mindfulness practices to their companies and their employees. The fifth annual Wisdom 2.0 conference is coming to San Francisco on February 20th to 22nd. In this conference, leaders in Mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence practices are gathering to meet, share and network with each other. Both of your Soul Talk Guys, David & Tommy, deliver Mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence training at their respective work places, and this week they’ll be joined by another MEI specialist, Marjan Mohtashami.

This week, the Soul Talk Guys and Marjan are treading into new territory. They’ll be talking about the corporate mindfulness movement and how each of us is doing our part to fan the flames of organizational transformation.

Mindfulness guru Eckhart Tolle has said that the old structures created by humans at a time before the Awakening of Human Consciousness—structures like our educational system, financial system, governmental structure, as well as corporate structures—will no longer suit the new minds and hearts currently undergoing transformation. As such, he said, these structures will either fail and be replaced, or be changed from within.

At Life Mastery TV, David & Tommy—along with their guests—are doing their parts to manifest change from within.

If you want to be part of this change, you won’t want to miss this episode!

Remember the Borg? Remember Their Mantra?

For any fan of the TV Series Star Trek, the words Resistance is Futile are the familiar threat of the infamous Borg, those cybernetic beings who strove to assimilate all of life into their one mechanical mind. It was the Borgs’ way of demoralizing people and removing all hope, and the underlying message was

No matter what you do, no matter how hard you try to resist, we are going to win and you are going to become one of us.

The Soul Talk Guys are not here to talk about the Borg. Instead, David & Tommy turn this mantra inside-out and look at it from a number of different angles. Instead of seeing it as an omen of capitulation to an external power, David & Tommy examine it as a reminder to surrender to your own higher power.

See, whether you are a Trekkie, a Borg, a Human, or some other life form, chances are you believe what you’re doing is right. From your perspective, you intend ‘good’. You may even feel you have a purpose and mission in life to be good, to do good, and to help others. And that’s where the story begins, because many of us take up our cause for good in the way we’re taught to take up any cause:

To FIGHT for it.

That’s right! We are taught to:

• FIGHT for justice;
• FIGHT for liberty;
• FIGHT for our dreams;
• FIGHT for the cause(s) we believe in;
• FIGHT for our country;
• FIGHT for what’s “right”;
• and on and on it goes.

Sounds tiring, doesn’t it? And indeed, that’s exactly what it is: exhausting! Why? Because all that fighting and resisting is a never-ending effort and struggle to push away things that we don’t want in our lives. And the real irony is that the more we resist and fight, the more those undesirable things seem to find a way to stick around. Our attempts to push things away only seem to give those things more energy and intention to continue with their objectives. And so, in a very real sense, our resistance is indeed futile.

It may not seem obvious, but resistance is actually a violation of your individual Primary Directive. You see, you are here ultimately to attract Light, Love and Goodness to the planet. However, if you engage in repelling forces like resistance and fighting, then you end up engaging energies like fear, sadness and anger—which may seem to achieve results in the short term, but in the long term actually sabotage your cause, purpose and mission. If you think about this for a moment, you can see that resistance actually goes against your very nature.

Tommy & David share with you ways that you can release your resistance, and even transform it into a form of attraction that supports and helps your cause. So, instead of fighting fire with fire (in which case your Resistance is Futile), join the Soul Talk Guys for another mind-bending journey that is sure to help you to

Live Long and Prosper!

Perfection is a Grand Illusion—and Something that can Teach us a LOT!

Imagine if everything were perfect already. Think of all the energy you could save! Your ego-mind would have no choice but to stop complaining that things aren’t good enough; it would have to stop pushing and prodding you to keep doing better. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to know that you are enough already, that nothing more needs to be done?

Sadly, the way we have our lives set up right now, most of us are continually striving for this thing that we call perfection. On some level, we already know that it’s a losing proposition, because the ego-mind is never satisfied—or so it seems. But that doesn’t stop us, does it? We allow ourselves to be manipulated or talked into continually pushing ourselves to achieve this ethereal thing called perfection, believing the ego-mind lies that once we achieve it, we will finally be happy.

On one hand, we could say that this striving actually has a positive benefit: namely, that it keeps us on a continual path of improvement and growth.

But on the other hand, if we can never stop long enough to appreciate what we’ve already accomplished, how can we ever hope to be truly happy? And what is the toll that this takes on our lives?

Your Soul already sees things as perfect—just as they are here and now! Therefore, it has no need to change anything, let alone try to make it “better”! It is only the ego-mind that finds fault with almost everything, and so it seeks to constantly complain about what’s wrong, and to insist that we make it right! This form of perfection is an unattainable state of mind; it serves only as fuel for the ego-mind to continue its eternal purpose of keeping us safe. Hard to believe, maybe, but it’s true.

The seeds for seeking perfection were planted in you at a very young age. They include things like these:

• Earning Mommy and Daddy’s approval by being well behaved;
• Getting straight A’s at school so as to impress everyone;
• Turning things into competitions so that you can win prizes and glory;
• Making enough money in order to buy the perfect house, have the best car, and win the heart of the most desirable partner.

Of course, the list goes on and on…and on!

Well, this week, the Soul Talk Guys invite you to join them in stopping this insanity! David & Tommy shine a light on this disempowering habit and help you to learn to accept yourself as the truly amazing and wonderful being you are—with no need whatsoever to change anything!

Watch the video and join the magic; you’ll be glad you did!

One of the Best Ways to Manifest What You Want is to Express Gratitude for it BEFORE You Even Have it!

May sound counter-intuitive, but it’s quite true…

How would you like to:

• Attract more of what you want in life;
• Improve ALL of your relationships;
• Reduce negativity and stress in your life;
• Improve your problem-solving skills;
• Accelerate your learning and growth.

All of these things—and many more—are possible through the power of an amazing, freely-accessible force that any of us can use at any time! We’re talking about

Gratitude in Action!

Tommy & David have spoken about Gratitude many times in the past, and they’ve had guests—notably, JoAnn Rotermund—who have shared their wisdom about the subject. But it’s such an important concept that they decided to devote another episode to the topic—this time, with a focus on developing and maintaining an active practice.

Here are a few things about Gratitude that you might already resonate with:

• Gratitude is an attitude.
• Gratitude is an choice.
• Gratitude is an habit.

You might well wonder, “What is this thing called Gratitude anyway?”

Some people see Gratitude as a form of energy, an energy of expression, an energy of love. Others see it as a gateway that enables the 7th Chakra to be opened—which might explain why it has such amazing, life-changing properties.

Regardless of how you try to categorize it, most people agree that Gratitude has a great deal of power—much more than we might imagine.

Think about it! If you want to really shift your life into high-gear, there is no easier way to do it than to be grateful for who you are and what you have in your life.

But you can magnify the power of Gratitude by making it a priority in your life. When you consciously practice being grateful for the people, situations, conditions and events around you, you automatically begin the process of releasing your attachment to any resentment or anger about things that have happened to you previously. And this automatically opens space in your life to make room for more of what you truly desire in your life. No doubt you can see the cycle of healing that you can easily create for yourself!

If you want to really shift your life into high gear, start by being grateful. Then watch what happens! Meanwhile, watch this week’s video and find out how you can experience
