Anniversaries are meant to be for celebrations--aren't they?
How do you "celebrate" a life-threatening, life-changing event?
Today marks the 2-year anniversary of the first of three major surgeries in 3 1/2 weeks that I went through. It reminds me of the time I spent 14 days straight in the hospital and went through the most excruciating pain I've ever felt.

I try to use this day as a catalyst and a point of encouragement--a positive thing. I tell myself that focusing on the negative and the "bad" memories aren't productive and instead will only lead to despair and depression. After all, it's important to always look on the bright side and keep moving forward, right?

My emergence from this ordeal has strengthened me tremendously. It was caused me to understand things about myself that I never would have learned otherwise. Because of this I have embarked upon a journey of "release" and "living boldly" in order to "think bigger" and be better. I used this event as fuel to a never-ending fire and drive into "beast mode". I harnessed my resurgence and turned it into books, speaking topics, strategy sessions and countless "Note 2 Self" entries. 

My "anniversary"; my "celebration"--this 2-year mark that I am reminded of everyday as I look at the scars on my body--is done in solemn remembrance of who I was and who I became on the other side of the journey.

So when you can understand that the things that happened to you and because of you are all necessary and that your life's journey is made up of mountains AND valleys--then you can truly embrace the process of living and become "Released and Ready" to truly Live Boldly and "Think Bigger" as you move ever--forward.

How Do You Remember?
A Poem

How do you remember the "not so good" times?
How do you give homage to the events of your past?
How do you quiet the voices and escape the shadows?
How do you make the moment last?

How do you embrace what's new, without discarding the old?
How do you strive to reach the top, without feeling you've sold your soul?

How do you encapsulate a lifetime of experiences---into a single moment in time?
How do you stand apart from everyone you've encountered--and try to make your light shine?

How do you learn all of the countless lessons, that life always tries to teach?
How do you constantly keep striving for goals, that seem always just out of your reach?

How do you remember who you are, when life tries to beat you down?
Just remember the essence of your true self, and envision upon your head a crown.

There will always be things that cause you pain, but remember, they enable growth too--
Because if it weren't for the experiences that you've encountered, then you actually wouldn't be YOU.

Book Intro....

New Release Coming Soon

Welcome to the beginning of the rest of your life! 

"Don't let the fear of the greatness that is within you stop you from being the greatest you." ~KARS

Sometimes the potential that we see or feel within ourselves--and especially the potential that others see within us--is so far beyond what we envision for ourselves that we run from it.

It doesn't matter what kind of car you drive right now, what kind of house you live in, where you work--or don't work, what you look like, what you sound like, where you went to school, where you're from, what you don't have or even what you do.

The bottom line is that you have to tell yourself--and believe--that you ALREADY ARE the wonderful, exceptional, talented, gifted person that you are afraid to be.  You just have to set yourself free--RELEASE YOURSELF--and get out of your own way.

Just because things have happened TO you, does not mean that those things DEFINE you.

It IS possible to move beyond, above and past the things of your past and those circumstances that comprise your present. 

All you have to do is make a decision that you will be successful, profitable, joyful and start living the life that is meant for you.

It is a process.

It is a journey.

It is up to you.

I can help you.

You’ve picked up this book (or downloaded it, as the case may be) because you are sick and tired.

Sick and tired of being overwhelmed, under-appreciated and unfulfilled.

Sick of always putting yourself last because of everyday occurrences when “LIFE HAPPENS”.

Sick of feeling that everything in the universe seems to work against you instead of for you.

Sick of feeling that there is something more out there for you and to you that you are just not tapping into.

Sick of having that feeling that you’re not doing what you’re meant to be doing with your life and that you’re not at all where you think you should be.

But being sick and tired is not enough.

It is just the beginning.

This book is the next step. 

This book is about taking a journey.  A journey to discover who you really are so you can get what you really want and go where you really want to be in life.

It’s about changing not only your attitudes, but your actions as well so that you can create a new expectation, a new model and a new reality of your life and all aspects in it. 

A new day where you take on life’s happenings as “opportunities” not “challenges” and you can…

“Be The Creator of Your Success, NOT A Victim of Your Circumstances”

Ready?  Let’s go!
