Smilehenry's Your Beautiful You 2012 (YBY12)

You are Beautiful

2012-01-19T15:18:00.000-08:00

You are beautiful. This is not just a cliche, but a valuable truth. You only need to look at yourself in the mirror and proclaim this truth. It is amazing how we tend to compare ourselves with other people. It is amazing that many people, no matter how beautiful they are, cannot seem to get over looking around at others and getting discouraged. They get discouraged because there is always this other voice saying how they don't measure up. This is a negative voice that speaks so loud and get's right in the inner ear. It can cause great anguish and in most cases nothing that voice says is true.

The Fight of your Life

The fight of your life is to be able to shut that voice of lies off and speak the words of truth until the true words ring louder than the lies. This is where you will be able to not only hear that you are beautiful, but you will believe that you are beautiful. Believing this truth is what is important. We act on our beliefs and actions are what changes things. We have to take action in life if we ever want things to change. So then, the fight of your life is speaking to yourself the words that are true until you believe them. Then you will take action on them. Once you take action you will see changes in your life.

Another Day to Succeed

2011-12-20T23:33:00.000-08:00

Get ready because tomorrow is another day to succeed. Yes, one more day you have to live your dreams and make a difference in the lives of someone else. The way I see it is, the greatest success we can have is being able to help someone arise to their highest destiny. So let's get busy. First we need a vision. Think of what you will do. How are you going to succeed. Second , think of how you are going to evaluate your actions. How are you going to know if you have achieved success? Last, think of how you are going to celebrate your success. What are you going to do to celebrate? Try celebrating with a friend or two it's more fun and you will also inspire them to set out to succeed in something. So let's make things happen. Don't wait to plan tomorrow, start today. Yes, the way I see it, tomorrow is another day to succeed.

Taking the Next Step

2011-11-10T12:49:00.000-08:00

Taking the next step is the way to arrive at your destination. If you really think of it, life is a combination of various steps taken. We very seldom end up at any given place by just standing still. Every step we take is leading us to some destination. We should consider our steps. We should be aware of where our steps are leading us. If our steps are leading us away from our goals and objectives then we need to either stop right there in our tracks and rethink our path or make a turn or an about face and go in the opposite direction. If we are on the right path and our steps are leading us to the proper place then we should continue to walk the path and enjoy every minute of it knowing this one thing. It is not always so much the destination that we find the most fulfillment, sometimes the greatest fulfillment is in the journey.

Reaching For greater Things

2011-09-09T00:10:00.000-07:00

Reaching for greater things is not always that easy. Many times there are obstacles in the human form that seem to hold you back. Soon as you take one step forward you end up taking two steps backward. Oh yes, it is that way much of the time. What I have learned is that we have to reach for greater things. If you have to make a pit stop that's fine just don't turn off your engine. In other words don't get comfortable, rather stay pumped up full of enthusiasm to get back on track and move forward. Don't settle for less strive for your best and you will see that you will attain the greater things you have been reaching for.

The Power of Attitude

Keeping Yourself Encouraged

2011-08-25T19:33:00.000-07:00

These are very interesting and challenging times for us these days. With the economy in shambles, the weather going wild and social unrest at home and abroad, it is important for us to always stay encouraged. I will share two ways you can keep yourself bright eyed and bushy tailed.

1) Believe that you can arise from where you are to a greater place. This is very important. If you get stuck and think that where you are you will always be and that there is nothing you can do about it, you begin to die off. We by nature have this innate desire to achieve and move beyond where we are no matter where we are in life. So believe that you can achieve the hopes and dreams of your heart and that there is more to life.

2) Take action to fulfill what you believe. Talk is cheap someone has said. Belief is realized and real when you put actions behind it. Show me someone who takes action on their beliefs and I will show you someone who truly believes they can arise. Truly, they will achieve their destined end. But the one who talks and does nothing will only end up frustrated when years later they are in the same place as they were before.

My point is that to keep ourselves encouraged is to believe and take action.It is something about action that encourages more action and the belief becomes even stronger the more you take action. The more you have invested in the dream, the deeper you are immersed in vision the closer you are to achievement. So go, believe and take action and you will surely keep yourself encouraged.

The Passion That Makes Me Smile

2011-07-14T11:47:00.000-07:00

I have a burning burden of passion that is like a torch burning brightly lighting a city. I have this passion that is like a strong sweeping wind blowing and moving my thoughts and heartfelt intent. I have a passion that causes me to see the light at the end of the tunnel, you know, the bright side. Yes, this is a powerful passion and it is like what gasoline does for a car or a cold sports drink does for a successful athlete. Yes this is the passion that makes me smile.

Through Coaching, sales and marketing I connect entrepreneurs and businesses to the resources they need in order to achieve success. As a philanthropist I raise the poor out of poverty by providing college scholarships and funds, promote social networking and provide opportunities for entrepreneurship. I also coach and educate church leadership and non profit organizations in the area of using technology effectively to further their causes. I use communication tools such as podcasting, live stream video and blogs in order to convey a message of hope, success and community.

A Big Day

2011-05-01T05:39:00.000-07:00

I am excited because this is a big day. Cinco De Mayo out in Oakland, Ca. We are going to have so much fun. I tend to get really pumped up about anything that brings people together. We are social in our very make up and it is perfectly normal to congregate. Let's get together on this Cinco De Mayo, but let's also get together when there is no Cinco De Mayo. Let's form a great sense of community on a daily basis. Community fosters the environment for success, achievement and prosperity. Yeah, I am so excited! Come share my excitement at the Cinco De Mayo in Oakland at 11:00am -5:00pm. We have food booths, local artisans, and great entertainment. Hope to see you there!

Believe the Best

2011-02-15T14:54:00.000-08:00

Are you going through a difficult time in your life? If you are I know it is tempting to begin to believe the worst. After all, we are told that we should consider the worst case scenario. I tell you, if we focus on worst case scenarios, we drown out our best case scenarios. It is easy to think of the worst or wallow in negativity. It takes a champion to arise out of despair and believe the best about your situation. Most of our victories in life are as the result of believing the best and knowing from your inner creative you that you are a champion and you will come out on top of your situation as opposed to coming out on the bottom.
So take a moment and adjust your belief system. Toss out all thoughts of doubt and despair and begin to see great possibilities. Watch how much energy and enthusiasm enters your heart to arise and win over your situation.

Searching

2011-02-06T07:54:00.000-08:00

What are you searching for? What are you striving to find in your life? It is interesting to me that so many people are not content with life. So many times we tend to search for more of this and more of that. The crazy thing is once we get more of that we tend to want more of something else. So again I ask, "What are you searching for?"

Some people can't even answer what it is they are searching for let alone try to find it. We first have to know what it is we are after. Then find out where it is we can most likely find it. If I am looking for fresh fruit in a grocery store, I better not be in the canned foods section. Once I know where to find what I am searching for, I have to go there and position myself. If I don't step out to get there I will not make any progress. Once I am there I need to engage. If I know where the fish are and go there with my fishing pole and stand there looking into the water, the fish are not going to jump on my fishing pole from the water. I must engage the fish. I have to put my fishing hook into the water. We have to get out there and network. We have to begin to step out and make our presence known. This is the way we are going to find what we are searching for.

Sometimes

2011-01-26T16:42:00.000-08:00

Sometimes we have to believe before we see. Sometimes we have to be before we are. Sometimes we have to run before we can walk. Sometimes we have to sing before we talk. Never get stuck in a box. Never be bottled up in a bottle. The rules that apply to the masses don't apply to the few. If you want to live the life of a champion. You have to live like a champion. You have to think like a champion. You have to be disciplined like a champion. you have to live by the champions creed. Live by the champions rules. Yea, sometimes you have to to crawl before you walk. Sometimes you have to speak before you think. Sometimes you have to believe before you see.

Eye of Beauty

2011-01-20T14:17:00.000-08:00

Think about the beautiful things that are in life. Today is really a beautiful day not only because the sun is shinning, but because beauty come first from within. If we have an inner eye of beauty then what ever we see through that eye gate will be just that, beauty. We are really tuned into seeing what we really want to see. If we want to see trouble, drama, sorrow or pain, then that is what we will see. But if we are determined to see peace, love, joyful scenes, then we will see what we desire to see.

If you have ever been around someone that seems that everything is always going wrong, you might have noticed how they talk. Everything and everybody is always wrong or bad. They will often focus on mostly negative things about people. This is their focus and what they focus on is what you will see. So they see negative, bad, sick, drama, lack, pain and sorrow.

This is why we should realize that we need to get in the presence of people who are positive people. Link up with people who talk about success and achievement because as they say, "Birds on a feather, flock together." If you want to be a success, get around successful people. If you want to be an achiever, get around people who are achievers. That's why we have launched Smile Nation, because there are people here in the bay area who want to be associated with successful people.

So remember to begin today to see life through eyes of beauty. You can do this by telling yourself that you are a beautiful person and that you only want to focus on whatever is lovely, true, honest, right, pure, excellent, admirable and praiseworthy. When you do this and compliment people on what's beautiful about them, you will begin to see with new eyes. Yes, eyes of beauty.

Shake It Off

2010-11-17T15:25:00.001-08:00

What do you do when you have seemingly had the worst day of your life? What do you do when it seems as if nothing is going right at all? What do you do when you feel you are at the end of your rope? My suggestion is shake it off. That's right , shake it off. You do not need to worry yourself beyond your capacity to influence the situation. Don't burden yourself with things that do not contribute to your inner peace and love. Shake off anything that you cannot control. Shake it off means divert your attention to more meaningful events or actions that you can influence. You will find empowerment in this action. Yes, so the next mountain you encounter, don't worry or fret over it. Either move it out of the way or shake it out your way.

Sometimes All You Can Do Is Smile

2010-09-16T13:19:00.000-07:00

Sometimes all you can do is smile. I recently sent out an email with a link to my latest podcast. I got some responses of how true they thought that blog was. Yes, I welcome comments from creative critical thinkers. I truly want to hear the opinions of others. Sometimes you get tired of hearing yourself, right? Well, some of us welcome the thoughts and ideas of others, after all, the world does not revolve around any one individual. Hope you are not offended, but it is true. Anyway, this one particular person was so selfish as to request something that had nothing to do with the podcast but rather used the reply to request something. EEak!

Maybe this sounds like a little thing, but there are valuable lessons in it. Great lessons can come from small seemingly insignificant events. First, we are to always be open to new ideas and progressive thought. Maybe there is something that we missed and don't really know about. We will miss out because we refuse to at least consider the thing. Second, We should always do research regarding subject matter before we make decisions that could be pivotal in relationships or business. We need to get as much information as possible as to educate ourselves regarding the matter at hand. Last of all, we should realize that the world, people and circumstances can change on a dime. What may have been true or the trend yesterday, could be false or out the window today. So it is important to stay on top of the current hour.

Hey, I don't fault this person for not responding critically to my podcast. Heck, the person may not have even listened to it. I certainly expect a reply when I send an email, don't you? I always appreciate the reply to at least address the subject matter by which I sent it. Afterward addressing the subject matter, then I think it makes sense to go into other ideas or requests, am I right? This, to me is just one of those times when you should just smile. Yea, sometimes all you can do is smile.

Freshen UP!

2010-06-15T16:28:00.000-07:00

It is great to wake up in the morning with a heart full of excitement. The wonder of moving out into a brand new day. I love it because it is like you have a fresh new slate. Yesterday is gone and now you have the opportunity to step out and achieve those things you may have failed to achieve beforehand. Yes, a new day is to me, an opportunity to live the life I am destined to live. A moment of grace to go forward and conquer the negative forces that await us outside our comfort zones.

So many people never experience victory because they wake up with a bad taste in their mouths. They dred the day because they go and perform tasks at work they are not eqquipped to do. They hate their jobs and live a life of inner turmoil and despair. If this is you, I have good news for you. You can begin to live your true destiny today.

I love coaching people into the place of freedom. I have a seminar for those people who don't know their place. Hidden Treasure: How to turn your talents into Treasure. This is one of my favorite seminars because when people get hold of this knowledge they fly like eagles and never turn back. They wake up every morning with thankful hearts being full of excitement, ready to take on challenges of the day.

Do you want to have this excitement daily? Would you like to go to work and enjoy every minute of it? If you answered yes to these questions, I am inviting you to visit my website www.Smilehenry.com and explore a bit. Click on my Success Institute page and you will see the seminar I just talked about. Don't miss out on your destiny, today could be the beginning of a great and grand life.

Isn't it about time to enjoy every moment of life. Yes, it really is. The time is now to freshen up!

Gaining Ground

2010-06-12T13:02:00.001-07:00

It is an awesome thing to hike. I love being in the good old out doors. I like the birds, the bees, the flowers and the trees. I love hiking, how about you? One thing I like about hiking is that when you start, you know there is a destination. I love to be moving and gaining ground. One step at a time just advancing. Perhaps this is like life, one step at a time, advancing, yes gaining ground.

A Greater Mind

2010-05-24T17:15:00.001-07:00

When we think about greatness what comes to mind? Perhaps I should ask who comes to our mind? People like politicians, social movement leaders or some artist of some kind. We tend to put great people in boxes tagged rich and famous. Well, I want to throw a wrench in this whole idea of great people.

I would submit to you the idea that greatness is in the thoughts of the person who is great. This being the case, anyone and everyone can be great. Greatness is in the mind of the person. When you think you are great then you will act great. Great people do great things. Great things such as feeding the hungry, helping the poor, inventing something that makes a difference in the lives of people. Great people do great things that help people live more efficient lives. Great people help those who need a boost to become great themselves.

So many people don't think they are great. So many people have such a negative outlook on life and are struggling to just make it everyday. Countless people spend most their waking hours trying to make ends meet while working dead end jobs that they totally hate. They live in fear that any day they could be fired or laid off. With this mindset and lifestyle, it is hard to begin to even think that you are great.

Greatness my friend starts with the thought that you are great. How you think of yourself is how you are going to behave. How you behave other people will begin to relate to you as they perceive you to be. It is time to think and act great. You will then begin to see that people will acknowledge your greatness. They will begin to relate to you as the great person you think you are as you make a powerful difference in your sphere of influence.

So start today, think great and act great. You were born to be great, to live a life full and rich. You my friend, were destined to live, great.

Roll With The Punches

2010-04-21T16:14:00.000-07:00

Roll with the punches. This is how we have to do in life sometimes. When something unexpected comes into our circumstances, we have a choice to go to pieces or roll with the punches. You might say, "Coach Henry, we are not in a boxing ring." True, we are not in a boxing ring, but life at times is one big fight. You have to be ready to not only take a few punches, but be able to counter punch.

If you get laid off of work, you could say that is a punch up side your head. But it does not have to knock you out to depression and hopelessness. You can update your resume and do a little market research, then either search for a new job, or start your own business. This would be the counter punch. You may get punched a few times in life but you only need to know how to roll with the punches and counter punch those circumstances that try to knock you out.

Some of you who are reading this blog have been beat down by life and thrown out of the ring. Some of you have lost the will to fight. But today I am telling you that you can get up and put your gloves back on because as long as you have breath, you still have some fight in you. Hold your head up, dream again and get a plan. Find someone who will coach you along. I haven't known a fighter yet who didn't have a coach. A coach will pump you up from ringside. You need to have that support, heck that's what I am here for. I'm saying to you, get back in that ring and fight the best fight you are a fighter. You are a champion, just believe it and you will see the results of your faith if you don't quit.

I have found out that no one can keep you down as long as you keep getting up. So get up, get up, get up and fight that fight, and fight to win. You are a champion and I am going to coach you on to greatness. No matter how hard it gets, no matter how tired you may seem, no matter what people watching might say, you keep on fighting until you knock out debt, until you knock out unemployment, until you knock out poverty, until you knock out whatever the situation you are in. Don't stop fighting.

Yea, you are are great because you don't quit. You are a winner because you continued to fight. So just remember to roll with the punches and smile because you are a champion.

Cathing the Vision

2010-03-29T17:34:00.000-07:00

Remember the days when you first learned how to catch a ball. Some people learned a little faster than others, however, by in large we all got it. For most of us in our adult years we would dare not get on a softball field.

Well think of catching something that can change your very life. Catching a vision. Have you caught one lately? It is very hard to attain success, rather impossible to attain success without a vision. Vision carries us forward and gives us the direction to go. Without vision, people perish. Without a vision it's like going round and round in life.

Surely many people go with the flow. Whatever happens just happens. But how is this living life to the full if you can't experience the joy of making something out of nothing. There is a sort of fulfillment in having a vision and then formulating that vision into goals. Then finally attaining those goals and experiencing success.

If you want to learn to catch a vision first ask yourself, "What do I want out of life?"
This very question jump starts your creative mind and as you write these ideas down, you will soon find that you have a vision for your life written down on paper.

So hey, I've thrown the vision ball, it is up to you to get ready for the catch. Get your paper, pen and find yourself a quiet place. Then begin to answer the question. What do I want out of life?
Then begin to write with all your heart. No answer is stupid, right or wrong. Just write and see what is inside of you. Get ready, ready, ready for the big catch.

When you finally have your vision, you will have a fresh new outlook on life. You will wake up in the morning with an energy previously unknown. It will be like the first day you caught your first ball. Wow! I did it, I did it! Yea, you did, you caught your vision.

What Have You Brought Life Today

2010-03-15T17:33:00.000-07:00

What has life brought today? Or should I ask, what have you brought life today? Each day we have an opportunity to live life fresh and new. We have an opportunity to be a blessing to someone. We have an opportunity to rise up in the morning and determine that this new day is going to be a day of success. So I again ask, what have you brought life today. Or should I ask?

In case you need a little shimmy to get you going. Think of how many faces you have seen today. How many were cold and hard? How many people did you speak with today that responded with a sort of grunt instead of a greeting? See, these people were opportunities for you to let your light of joy, love and peace shine.
Look around in your world and notice how many people live with that same old cold, hard and grunty attitude. They are opportunities just waiting.

We have so much to offer if we can just believe. We have the ability to bring a smile to a face when there is no sign of a soul in a person, let alone a smile. But you can smile and bring a revival in someone's inner core. Even if it is for a moment, that very moment could actually save a life. Who knows the depth of every gesture of kindness and love that we deliver.

So I ask this question, ever so humbly. What have you brought life today? If your answer is nothing, than I hope you will aspire to do something simple or great. Either way, do something to bring life or bring someone to life, the next opportunity you get.

Do IT Big!

2010-03-06T12:18:00.000-08:00

I thought I would just mention that life is really short. If you think about it look how fast time goes. Since time is a major part of life then we should look at both life and time together. When we do this we come to an understanding that we really don't have much time, nor do we have much life.

This being the case it is best then to make it a point that whatever we do, we should do it big. Life is to short to do small things because of small thinking. We should have big thoughts so that we will do big things.

Funny though, time doesn't stop, but one day life as we know it will. The question will be if we did anything big enough in life with our time that others can benefit from once we are gone. If so, we have did something in life so big, it goes way beyond our finite selves. This is what I mean by, Do it Big.
