Living out Louder

The Month of Wishes.

2015-12-01T11:18:00.000-05:00

Good Morning, Afternoon or Good Evening wherever you
may be. I do hope this finds you in good spirits. I also
want to say Happy December 1st! Typically a month full
of celebration and of wishes.

Here at Living out Louder and also in the group that
+julie Rogers and I are running on Facebook that is
a personal development / spirituality that is appropriately
called Lighthouse Legionnaires.

2016 is right around the corner and we're going to get a
head start in crafting what we want to experience in the
year ahead.

In doing so we need to know what we want. Do you know
what you really want? Sit down with no distractions and
write out what you want in the year ahead.

While you're doing that it is of the utmost importance that
you do not list what it is that you DON"T want. What we
want to focus on is the people, experiences and events we
want to see in the coming year.

What is also just as equally as important is when you are
ASKING do not, I repeat DO NOT put any limit to what
you are asking for. What would you ask for if nothing was
impossible ( btw impossible is misspelled it's I'm possible)
You may find it silly or that it can't happen but when you
were a child writing a list for Santa you would write and
write and write till you couldn't write anymore. Place no
limits on what to ask of the universe.

Also another great event we have planned is we're going to
craft Vision Boards and Julie and I are going to show you
how you can make yours! This is a powerful tool to aid in
your life creation, your life by design.

We're in the first week of this supergroup and I can't even
begin to tell you the amount of positive energy that is going
on. It is contagious! I'm just blown away by it all.

More to come but I want to wish you all a Happy December!

Oh and if you want in on this group that we're running
just drop me a request in the comments below.

Thanks again for stopping by here today.

Always remember to keep..........

Good morning, afternoon or Good evening wherever
you may be. I do hope this finds you in good spirits. I
do want to thank you for stopping by here today!

Lots been going on as we're over the halfway mark of
November, which I have dedicated to be all that is
about attachments. Allow me to explain take clothing
for example if you have clothing that is over 6 months
old that you no longer wear or they don't fit like they
did anymore get rid of them. we often say "Well one
day I may wear them!" But lets face we won't and it is
just taking up space, we're donating ours to people
who truly need them and appreciate it.

Attachments of another kind is our expectations that
we place on people and events and when the outcomes
don't match what we feel or what we expected them to
be it derails us. That's something that supports our false
self, our false identity otherwise know as our ego.

When we hold expectations on the outcomes of giving
to people we end up conducting business rather than
kindness. Also if someone has angered you because of
something, that, is also supporting our ego or our false
self. I like how Dr. Wayne Dyer put it when referring to
ego is when we're Edging God Out. The next time when
you are given a choice to be kind or to be right. Always,
always, choose kindness.

You can choose to begin to live with intention, rather
than choosing how your day goes based on the
behavior of others. You can change your frequency.
We live in a vibrational universe. You can choose the
signal that you want to emit.

I was deeply saddened by the recent attacks on Paris
and all over the world. Also in it's aftermath as a way
to continue to spread evil and hate and the labeling of
a group of people based on what they worship. This
needs to end on both sides. What you see in others is
what you see in yourself. To make it as clear as possible,
terror is not a religion.

What makes me proud though is the people that do stand
together and use this to be more positive, to exhibit more
kindness and love to those affected and right in their very
home no matter what the address is. All the images of the
rest of the world lighting up around to show their support
of Paris was and is inspiring.

That leads to me to add that there is a lot going on in our
camp in an effort to help light up the world. We're in the
beginning stages of writing a book. Also a joint effort
between Lessons from the Loo author Julie Rogers and
myself called Lighthouse Legionnaires. We'll be starting
a community / group on Facebook on Monday November
30th tentatively. A place to create awareness within, to
find more inner peace and in turn be also more productive.
To show your gratitude big or small in your daily discovery
whatever that may be. A community of friends and new also
new ones forged. To be a beacon of hope and to light up
the world for all those who may need it. A website and blog
will be coming soon so be on the lookout for that. If you
would like to be a contributor for that let me know. Also if
you want to join the Facebook community just leave your
email with me here. Dave's email and I'll send you the links.

The theme for December will help us finish and to also
plan for the upcoming year ahead. So lots going on but
that's okay. That's how we like it!

I want to thank you again for stopping by here today and
taking your time out to visit. Have a blessed day and always
remember to keep...

Challenge Groups (what are they?)

2015-03-19T11:53:00.000-04:00

Living out Louder Challenge Groups

Beachbody Challenge Groups, you've probably

have heard of them, seen alot of them maybe in

your news feed or maybe even have been invited

to be a part of one but what the heck are they?

Well for one Beachbody is the Health and fitness

company behind the most popular (and the #1

infomercials on tv) fitness programs P90X, T25,

Turbofire, Insanity, Piyo, 21 Day fix and the most

super food, dense nutrition meal replacement on

the planet Shakeology.

Beachbody Challenge Groups are the best way to

stay motivated and get in shape fast by also doing

it with a community of others who have the same

goals as you. A Challenge Group is a fun and also

exciting way to get the constant inspiration and

encouragement you need to stay committed and

achieve your fastest results. I can attest to all of

this as I have participated and as a coach ran my

own challenge groups.

Ask yourself, how many times have you started

but quit an exercise program? I have quit way too

many times in the past. Whether it was because of

having zero confidence and or the proper program

geared towards results or even knowledge on what

and how to do it. When you start a business you need

to have a success/accountability partner well it goes

for here as well. Study after study has shown when

pursuing a goal SUCCESS rates goes through the roof

when part of a group! It's the accountability that keeps

you going when you want to jump ship!

So what are Challenge Groups?

Challenge Groups is results!

They are TRANSFORMATION!

Challenge Groups are for people that are very

SERIOUS about bringing change into their life!

Doesn't mean you're not scared, I have been

many times, we all have our days when we will

doubt ourselves but that's we're the group and

most importantly me as your Coach comes in.

When you do encounter those days we will be

there to lift you up, to not give up, to keep going

and striving towards your goal!

If you have been following me for any length of

time you will know that my passion is helping

people. I have been studying the body and how the

human mind works for years. How we tick and to

overcome those dis-empowering habits to build

and forge new positive and life changing habits.

To developing confidence through fitness, nutrition,

and community anything is possible. In fact it is my

life's goal to help you see that impossible is possible!

That the power has been within you all along!

What are your goals? Ask me and I can help find

the right program and group for you!

6 Traits of the Mentally Strong

2015-03-07T16:08:00.000-05:00

Good Morning, Afternoon or Good Evening

wherever you may be. I do hope this finds

you in good spirits. Today I wanted to talk

about habits of the mentally strong and this

post is the first in five parts.

Living out Louder is all about the mind and

the body. The mind will be one of the most

important muscles we'll ever work. When

we quest to get our body physically fit it

is equally important to develop our mind

to get mentally strong. The more we work

on these traits the more ingrained they

are into our day to day habits.

1. They don't expect success overnight.

Whether they are getting a new business

of the ground or improving their health

and fitness, they understand that lasting

change takes time.

2. They don't give up with the first failure.

Failure is not a reason to give up. They

view failure as an opportunity to grow and

improve. To be willing to keep trying till

they get it right.

3. They get up EARLY!

The masters, the successful get up early.

They MAKE the time to get up early and

get things done while the rest of the world

sleeps and takes it easy. How much do

you think you could get done with a few

extra hours? Some are always asking if

only I had a few more hours in the day.

Commit to start getting up early.

4. They eliminate the distractions.

Whatever that may be it may be high

amount of cell phone use checking into

facebook every 10mins or could be the

after work ritual of sitting in front of the

empty box for hours till we fall asleep.

There is a time and a place for everything.

They are working on their goals in place

of allowing to be habitually distracted.

5. They choose to see the past as a lesson.

They know what doesn't happen or what

does happen is of their own doing. Luck

has nothing to do with it. That everything

is asked for, believed in and then it was

received. They know that the past does

not define them. That when someone has

made a mistake they are forgiven and a

chance to make things right in the future.

6. They don't feel sorry for themselves.

They don't waste time on things that they

cannot control. You're in your current

situation because you either put yourself

there or decided to stay there! Research,

ask for help, do anything to change it if

you don't like where you are.

Change is inevitable but

personal development is a choice.

That is one of my many favorite quotes

that I learned from my mentor that I like

to keep reminding myself of.

Nothing is overnight but with practice

these traits will become yours. It is

a conscious decision that we are here

to get better and better and uplift

others with our strengths.

Do you have any habits or traits that

you have used with great success? I'd

love to hear it the comment section.

I want to thank you for stopping by here

today. We're all in this together, if I

can be of any help never hesitate to

ask.

Always remember to keep.....

What's YOUR story?

2015-02-23T17:47:00.000-05:00

Your story is magnificent!

Good Morning, Afternoon or Good Evening wherever you

may be. I do hope this finds you in good spirits. I want to

Thank you for stopping by here today! Today I wanted to

ask you "What's YOUR story?"

What do I mean?

You know, that inner talk, that inner dialogue that you

have with yourself everyday.

This is of the utmost importance!

As we are always trying to change multiple things on

the outside of ourselves, we actually need to begin

with changing the inside of ourselves.

Does your typical inner dialog or story sound similar?

"Life is so hard and cruel?"

"Why does everything have to be a struggle?"

"I never have enough!"

"I will never get ahead!"

"Why bother anymore, it's just not in the cards for me!"

"I just feel so lost!"

"I'm SO out of shape, I'm not strong enough, I can't!"

"I don't think I can do it?"

"I've tried and have failed so many times, I give up!"

"Every time I think I get ahead BAM life slams me down!"

Have you ever said any of the above to yourself? Is it

on a consistent basis? Whether you know it or not you

are actually continuing to bring more of that into your

life! The law of Attraction states that what we think

about, we bring about. What we think on a regular basis

and with great emotion we will bring that into existence.

Now most of that concept, that law, is hard for many to

understand because it requires us to be brutally honest

with ourselves. Honest that most if not all of the many

circumstances in our life we have brought on by default.

Now many still may not want to understand that or how

it works but many don't have a real understanding of how

electricity works yet we know it's there, that it's always

at work and we get to enjoy it.

So the best way to change these unfavorable situations

is to start from within. To start having a better dialogue

with yourself and start telling yourself a better story!

Do that every single day!

Examples could be.

"Life is a miracle and I'm ready for the gifts that await

for me today!"

"Love and Joy are all around me and I will do my part

to pass that on to everyone that I will come across!"

"I will live my truth!"

"I will never give up on my dream of encouraging and

saving someones life today!"

"I need to be the change I want to see in the world!"

"To feel more love around me I need show more love!"

"I am strong and getting stronger everyday!"

"I will overcome every challenge that is before me

as it another example to learn more about me!"

" I WILL FOLLOW THROUGH!"

These can be great starters for you to begin today

of telling yourself a new story. To begin to bring

about more of the experiences that you want into

your own life. Whether you knew it or not these

are affirmations but there will be more of that on

another post! Have you ever said any these to

yourself? What would you add to these? I would

love to hear about it in the comments below.

Thank you again for stopping by here today and

I'm always here to help however I can.

Remember to keep....

Competition vs Creating

2015-02-17T17:00:00.000-05:00

The Energy within you is limitless...

Good Morning, Afternoon or Good Evening wherever

you may be. I do hope this finds you in good spirits

Thank you for stopping by here today to read our new

post we have for you titled Competition vs Creating.

When you think of the word competition you tend to

think of a race or you against another person in a some

sort of challenge and without knowing it you are! Let

me explain.... when we tend to see people in a house

we like, a nice car, great job, or even of a body we

we have we tend to go in instant complaint. Why do

they have this? They don't even value what they have!

Why do others have it so great where I continue to

struggle? I will NEVER have anything?

Sound familiar?

We tend to focus on what we don't have rather than

the blessings that we currently have and enjoy. The

focus though is on lack and if we continue to focus

and repeat to ourselves on a daily basis that we are

without, guess what.. we'll continue to get more of

of that.

So instead of this competing with others that we

seem to constantly do, get into a creation mode.

Many of the most successful are not concerned with

competition they are too busy creating!

We are here to enjoy life, we are here to create

joyous experiences for ourselves! What we think

of we will bring about - energy flows where

attention goes. We cannot be at a constant guard

of what we think, that's just too much work, what

we go by is our emotional guidance system. If

anything doesn't make you feel right it isn't and

should be discarded. If it makes you feel alive

then embrace it, whatever it is.

The next part in creating though is the "work"

that makes us in a joyous state. So whatever

THAT may be.. do more of it! Playing the guitar,

painting, photography, writing, helping and

being in the service of others do it! Do much

more of it!

When you see the house you like next time say

I love that house, aspects of that house I want

that in my experience. The next time you see

or hear of the great career get into creating by

saying I love that and I want it into my experience.

Seeing the athletic body that you favor, get

going start creating by saying I love that and I

will have that in my experience!

The take away message is stop the habit of

thinking that you're in lack and in a competition.

Put that great energy to better use a better you!

So get creating more states of emotional joy,

create more content for your business, create

more art, create more harmony within yourself,

create more love between you and your partner

to spread into the family. Count your blessings

and you'll find that you;ll have many more..

I want to thank you again for stopping by here

today, we're all in this together. Let me know

if I can ever be of any help to you..

Naked

2014-05-03T18:26:00.000-04:00

Good Morning, Afternoon or Good Evening wherever
you may be. I do hope this finds you in good spirits.
Thank you for stopping by here today to read our new post we have for you today titled Naked. Yes you read that correctly and you'll soon find out
why.
Quite a few challenges and events have been going on
recently. Chief of which was walking into my mother's home and finding that she had passed away and not a day goes by where I don't think of her. When this happened in mid February, I had no idea
how I was to go on.. to continue. I slowly had to remind myself of everything I have learned the last few years of self discovery and my never ending thirst of knowledge in personal development. Of all the
things that I write about and share and encourage
with others to take better care of themselves, to keep that burning hope inside that may have dimmed,
to return it bright and alive. I now had to encourage
myself. I had to return to my core philosophy of the
namesake of the very website you're reading right
now.

How to bounce back, how do you carry on when
faced with life's adversity. I have always been heard
to say you must CONQUER life's adversity. Doing that you must carry on with your true intentions
Just what are intentions? Intentions are a thing
intended, an aim or plan. It's purpose, a course of
action that one intends to follow. Do you have
any intentions? Do you know what they are? Life
CAN be hard at times. If you've been following my
writings at all you know that I am a firm believer in
the laws of attraction but I also do not just think
that "oh just think happy thoughts and happy things
will happen to you, no." Life can be hard and will
knock you on the head! That's where living with
intentions will be your road map, your course to
come out of it all.

Finding what they are requires that you have an
honest talk with yourself. Removed from all ego,
what and how do you want your life to be lived.
It takes a lot of truth, a sincere candor with yourself,
stripping all of the ego and past baggage and essentially getting naked. What do you want, what
has gone on that has not worked and how from this
moment on you're going to get there.

Some of mine are taking care of my family financially
stress free. To be financially independent. To have more inner peace and to live with a lasting sense of serenity. To have a more stronger and loving relationship with my family. To awake and end each and every day with a heart full of gratitude and compassion for those around me. To use my gift that our creator has given me to it's fullest capacity.

We all have a gift that we can and should share
with the world. During my difficult time I was reminded of all these because of my intentions but it
was also because Marnie reminded me what they
are and who I am. Sometimes it takes someone on
the outside of you to remind you, to show you what
is on the INSIDE of you. I'm forever indebted to her.
I'm also grateful to my friend Fred and Donnie, that
reminded me what in essence my gift that has been
given to me by my creator and that is of encouragement.

No matter what crisis that has gone on, that is
currently going on or the ones that will come in
the future. I will forever stand firmly with strength,
love, patience and gratitude. To continue to live
with intention and to offer a helping hand to each
and every one of you however I can.

Living out Louder is not an arrival. It is not a
successful destination. Living out Louder is an
amplification of the greatness that is within you!

Start Living with intention..
Start Living your TRUTH!
Keep Living out Louder

Many blessings to you all..

Cultivating Patience...

2013-12-15T12:10:00.000-05:00

Patience (photo taken by me D.W Fields Park Brockton, Ma)

Good Morning, Afternoon or Good Evening wherever
you may be. Thank you for stopping by here today.
I do hope this finds you in good spirits.

I am writing this after an early long reflection on
a Sunday morning. The previous week was in some
respects a bit of a struggle, physically from being sick
and somewhat emotionally as well. Which is all
connected to each other anyways. Nonetheless it made
me reflect on why the week was the way it was. In
doing so it reminded me that I was neglecting my
Morning Mass and Evening Mass power questions and reflections. I also
came to the conclusion that ultimately I was acting
from a lack of patience.

When there's a lack of patience I end up placing
expectations on people and situations to only get
frustrated when the outcomes do not match all
my "shoulds". I once again have to cultivate my
patience. Wisdom has taught me that patience
is allowing time to run it's course. Also allowing
people (including ourselves) to work and grow
at their own pace. That more peaceful energy is
freed up to make good things happen. With the
entire universe everything starts with me first
if there is ever be any blame it is placed upon me.

There is a couple passages that I'd like to share
with you about renewed strength, encouraging
others and cultivating patience.

"Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new
strength, they will mount up with wings like eagles,
they will run and not get tired, they will walk and
not get weary."
Isaiah 40:31

"And we urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly,
encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient
with all men."
1 Thessalonians 5:14

I want to thank you again for stopping by today,
we are all in this together.

Decide, Commit, Succeed

2013-09-23T08:14:00.000-04:00

Decide, Commit, Succeed

Good Morning, Afternoon or Good
Evening wherever you may be. Thank
you for stopping by here today, it has
been awhile. I do hope this finds you
in good spirits. Have lots to share with
you and to catch up on but this post
was something I had to share first not
originally planned but something that
has been on my mind the most the last
couple of days..

We all have wants, wishes, dreams and
desires. Which ones are really important
to you? Do you feel like you're drifting?
Nothing good really happening? Maybe,
just maybe.. it is that you haven't set out
a list of goals. You see Goals are dreams
with a deadline. No matter how big they
may seem or how outlandish it sounds, It
is something you are going to be working
towards. Fix it upon your mind, decide,
declare what you really want! I'd like to
share a quote from Wallace D. Wattles.

"The more clear and definite you make
your picture then and the more you dwell
upon it, bringing out all it's delightful details
the stronger your desire will be, and the
stronger your desire, the easier it will be
to hold your mind fixed upon the picture
of what you want."

So sit down take the time you need, find
out, what do you REALLY want.

Stop drifting, end the randomness. Do not
put any limits on what you come up with.

Your goals will be your map to propel you
forward... doesn't matter how long it takes
you will find a way.

I wanted to keep this short and sweet today
to give you something to think about during
your day today. Maybe you already do know
and you have to focus back your eyes on
the prize. Allow this to be your nudge to do
just that. I'm going to borrow a phrase that
is used heavily in beachbody and that is....

DECIDE, COMMIT, SUCCEED

Always remember to keep....

The Ultimate SIn

2013-07-19T18:37:00.000-04:00

You are not alone.
You may think that the despair
that you're feeling, this utter
hopelessness has left you to
think that you are totally alone
in this world. That no one can
possibly have any idea what
you are going through.

The pains of disappointment,
of traumas may have left you
with the feeling of why try at
all anymore. So you have, you
have given up. Given up that
anything good will come your
way ever again.

You are not alone.
Your struggle is my struggle.

I am also here to say that you
can turn this all around. That
you can have what you want,
what you deserve.

To fill your life with the child
like wonderment of what is
next. To fill your life once more
with confidence, with love and
people that will encourage you
to reach for new heights.

Your setback is the platform for your comeback!

You know deep down, there
is something in you. Much
more than what you may be
giving out. And there is! You
may have just forgotten what
it feels like.

The Ultimate Sin is to not live
up to your potential.

You are better than this.
Your setback is the platform
for your comeback. The only
way to turn this around is to
act. To make your stand firmly
into the ground.

You will not stand alone.
I will stand with you, every step
of the way. Throughout every
stumble, throughout every small
victory we will rise once more.
Together.

To go even further, in August I
will be doing the P90X program.
I'm now forming an accountability
group. This is our chance to be
able to show our friends, our
family, the world that anything
can happen.

Most importantly to show to
ourselves once more that
if committed no barrier can
stand in our way.

This is Not You

2013-07-11T11:50:00.001-04:00

What are you, what are you doing?
I cannot believe you are doing this.
Wallowing in the dark, expecting no
light to ever come. Asking the same
questions that have no answers.
This is not you.

Allowing your old wounds become
your identity?
This is not you.

You know what you focus on is
what will come true yet you choose
to continue to turn a blind eye to
what is good, what is right.
This is not you.

Why are you giving up, giving in
to people, places and things that
you know bring you only more of
what you don't want. What you
don't deserve.
This is not you.

Continuing on and on this wrong
path, I know YOU know that this
is the wrong way to keep going.
Isn't this guilt that you have
been carrying around for so long
ready to eat you alive, eating you
from the inside out.
This is not you.

You know what you should do,
what you need to do. Why are
you so afraid to do it? Are you
really that afraid of happiness?
That you are willing to continue
this way?
This is not you.

You know you can do better.
You know you need to work harder.

You know what you want and what
you will sacrifice to get it.

Facing your fear
Beginning the battle
Demolishing the Doubt

You will stand Triumphed over
every obstacle. The power that
is within you is greater than that
of anything outside of you.

The Power of Love

2013-07-01T09:45:00.000-04:00

The Power of Love

Have you asked yourself, "Why is everything

going so wrong?" "Why is this happening to me?"

"Why can I not catch a break?" "Will I ever have

a happy ending?"

I can answer that but it may be very hard for

you to swallow.

YOU!

You are the sole reason for all that has happened

and has continued to happen.

YOUR THOUGHTS

YOUR ACTIONS

Not only have you become them but you have

attracted it into your life!

The law of attraction is really the law of love.

The power of love.

When you focus on the negative aspects of

what is and could happen, you are thinking

and talking with a lack of love.

If you focus on what you don't want, if you focus

on the negative you are inviting it into your life.

Thoughts and actions are a boomerang and

in it's own way comes right back to you,

Thinking, talking and behaving with a lack of

love brings back nothing but a lack of love.

What we SOW we will REAP.

What we GIVE we will GET.

Isn't that good news though?

Energy attracts like energy and all that we are and

all that is around us is nothing more but vibrations.

The vibrations that you give out into the ether, out

into the cosmos, the universe will always give back

to you.

Nothing new can come into your life until you are

grateful for what you already have,

Instead of sharing your problems start in sharing

your joys. Instead of focusing on lack, focus on

what you do have. Fill your mind with what and

who you love. The way you talk changes, the way

that you behave changes. The magnetic field that

is around you is glowing, is emanating the absolute

glorious power of love.

What you think has a tremendous impact on your
body's biochemistry. When you allow yourself to
think of the negative your body tightens, with the
stress, your cortisol level rises which will store fat,
your energy level decreases. Not only lethargic,
the anxiety, panic and depression creeps in.

Coincidentally the effects are incredible on the
body when you are in a state of gratefulness.
When your thoughts look to the possibilities of
every situation even your posture is more erect.
The act of smiling to a stranger or of a favorite
memory or even of something you are looking
forward to, all the feel good chemicals are then
released. In fact, with exercise other chemicals
such as endorphins are released which help
in depression, anxiety, sleep and sexual activity.
Cultivating a grateful positive attitude is actually
harnessing the secret, the power of love.

It stands to reason what you choose to put out
into the world doesn't it? Choosing the power
of love will bring light to every dark crevice and
heal the deepest of wounds. It's warmth, it's
hot fiery passion will melt away the coldest of
winters.

We have a choice every day.

We have a choice to not live in randomness
but to live with passion.

I know that you have been hurt. I know that you have
faced disappointment, I know that traumas are never
easy to reconcile with.

Instead of drifting and floating along we can direct
our thoughts and actions and harvest the incredible
power of love.

Find that bravery in your heart once more. Allow the
passion to flow freely, ignite that fire that is within you
again and share it's bright glory with the world.

The world needs one more beacon, one more conduit
of positive energy and most of all you need it.

Get rid of the thoughts and actions that no longer
serve you in anyway. Eliminate the people that are
in your life that only want something from you. You
know who they because they only take and ask to
fill their's and their needs alone. Life is about giving,
life is about adding value to those that we meet. To
leave them with increase.

To show our family the power of love.

At the end of the day, family is all that matters.

I want YOU!

2013-06-14T15:15:00.000-04:00

I want YOU to understand..

that where you are this very second

is in direct proportion with your

thoughts and you have attracted

everything that currently is.

I want YOU to understand..

Abundance is our birthright. You

deserve everything this world

has to offer. Nobody is excluded,

you just have to believe it first.

I want YOU to understand..

If you want something different

in your life, you must be willing

to do something different.

I want YOU to understand..

Nature to be commanded, you

must obey it's laws.

I want YOU to understand..

you can escape reality but you

cannot escape the consequences.

Reality always finds you when

you least expect it and reminds

you just what you have been

trying to ignore.

I want YOU to understand..

to have what you truly want,

you are going to have to sacrifice.

To have the bigger things you

have to get rid of the smaller

things.

I want YOU to understand..

It is about giving to others and

leaving them with increase. Only

then can you actually receive the

greatest gift of all.

I want YOU to understand..

That all they want is your time

and full attention.

I want YOU to understand..

That I know it is hard, I know

that change is never easy. I also

know that you are capable of

so much. That there is something

so amazing in you, more than

anyone could ever hope to come

close to even imagining.

I want YOU to understand..

Everyone falls at some point.

Everyone. It is in the glory of

rising back up again. So stop

aligning yourself with the ones

that settle to continue to crawl

on their bellies.

Continue to write the story YOU

want to read..

Father Michael Landon aka Charles Ingalls

Someone I wanted to honor today is a man that
I always turn to when I need to find my center.
In my quest to find meaning the last few days, I
try to turn to to the touchstones in my life to show
me the way. One of those main people would be
Michael Landon aka Charles Ingalls.

Much like Michael's unhappy childhood which
I identified with through my years of physical
and verbal abuse he was determined through his
sheer will to leave a positive imprint on the world.

He admired Steve Reeves a famous American
bodybuilder and actor made famous for his role
in the Hercules movies to the point where he as
well started working out and growing his hair out.

It was Michael's character that mimicked his own
life and that of Charles Ingalls. Who was not only
the reason I started working out but to form who
I wanted as a father and for someone I wanted to
become. He radiated the sense of home and hearth.
Providing for his family no matter what, speaking
to his children not at them. He also had such a
bulldog perseverance against all of lifes adversity,
natural or man made. Demolishing the doubt.

A Man is a leader who brings all of his loved ones
together and not tear them down. He shows them the
way and is the strength and pillar for all to lean on.
He takes the worst the world throws at him to be
able to lighten the load for those he cares about most.
He knows that matters of the heart are of not just
about who may share his blood line. How he is thought
of and what he leaves behind is imperative.

A Man starves his ego to feed his soul because he
knows that all that matters in this world is his family.

Choices and Conflicts of Interest

2013-05-30T12:20:00.000-04:00

Choices and Conflicts of Interest

Good Morning, Afternoon or Good Evening
wherever you may be. I do hope this finds
you in good spirits. The good weather has
finally arrived up here in the Boston area
and should reach up in the 90's in the next
few days.

Changes are always going to happen. Events
whether we immediately liked them or not
are not under our control. Yet there is one
thing that we have control over and that is
our choices. How we choose to react to the
events that come into our life.

Thoughts become things so it is the quality
of our thoughts that will dictate what we
will attract into our life.

We have the ability to choose how we react.
To choose the people that only uplift us.
To choose to live by your ideals.
To choose how we will interpret the events
is under our power and control.

The law of Attraction is always at work.

Also it's making a clear cut decision that
has to be done. What do you want in your
life? You can't say I'd like to lose a lot of
weight but keep eating all the wrong foods
or not exercise. That's a conflict of interest.
You can't say that you would want a very
healthy relationship and not be committed
to your significant other. That's a conflict
of interest. You can't say that you want to
excel at your job but not serve the needs of
others. That's a conflict of interest.

Make a decision, make quality choices and
once and for all end the conflicts that are
in your life now.

We've all made mistakes and lord knows
that I've made plenty myself but I believe
the past does not equal the future. Who
you were then is not who you are now or
in the future. It's called sick and tired of
being sick and tired and to learn from all
those mistakes.

If you want something different in your life
now. You have to be willing to do something
different.

You can do it, I have all the faith in the
world in you. After all, we are in this
together.

Morning and Evening Mass Power Questions

2013-05-06T08:45:00.000-04:00

Morning & Evening Mass Power Questions

     Good Morning, Afternoon or Good Evening
wherever you may be. I do hope this finds you
in good spirits. It has been awhile since we last
talked, so I wanted to pop in and let you know
we haven't gone anywhere. Living out Louder
is still growing and going stronger than ever.

    You may have noticed our exercise portion
of Morning Mass has been absent as of late.
With good reason though. There is some of you
that may know we have started the INSANITY
workouts to our program, because of that, the
exercise portion of Morning Mass has been put
on hold for now. Although I am in the process
of putting some meditation/tai chi/yoga routines
together to replace that, which will soon to
come.

Mass hasn't stopped whether it's in the
Morning or the Evening. Mornings still
consist of waking up drinking water and
taking my multi-vitamins and having a
breakfast meal or protein shake. What
is also a staple of Morning Mass is that
I without fail ask myself three power
questions.

1. What am I most Grateful for?

2. What Good can I do today?

3. Who do I love?

These three questions set myself up
for the day. They center me to begin
the day with calmness, gratitude and
an eager hunger to accomplish what
has to be done for the day.

Additionally when I do lay my head
down for the night, I reflect on the
days events by asking another set of
Evening Mass power questions.

1. What am I most Grateful for today?

2. What was Good about today?
    (what did I learn?)

3. Who do I love?

I cannot tell you how much these
questions have helped me at the
start and ending of my day. They
truly are great bookends. When
you come to realize that thoughts
really do become true for how we
behave physically and spirtually
it only makes perfect sense to set
yourself up in the most positive
position possible.

I challenge you to add these set
of power questions at the start
and ending everyday for at least
seven days!

If you have something similar in
your routines or if you adopt these
power questions into your daily
habits I would love to hear your
thoughts on it.

Cultivate an Attitude of Gratitude!

I want to thank you for stopping
by here today to read this post. I
certinly do appreciate it. I also do
hope that it helps you on your
own journey in some way. After
all we are all in this together.

Morning Mass: Core Focus

2013-03-20T06:29:00.002-04:00

Morning Mass: Core Focus

Hey guys,
Happy hump day! We're getting through the week,
we're halfway there! Let's celebrate that with a nice
workout routine that is Core Focus.

As always upon waking get in your 2 glasses of water,
take your multivitamins and whatever else you may
take so you will not forget. Morning Mass or our Mass
in general whether it's in the Afternoon or Evening. Is
a formation and a dedication of habits to empower the
start of our day and the ending.

Okay today's workout:
20 Jumping Jacks
10 Left side crunches
10 Right side crunches
10 Situps
30sec Plank
30sec Wall sit
5 Rounds total

When your done with this I implore you to make sure
that you are eating breakfast. A protein rich one may
I add. It's pretty remarkable what happens when we
start doing a lot of small yet important things that in
turn reward us with much more energy and vitality.

Let me know how you did today in the comments
section below. April 1st as a reminder starts up
our next 90 Day Challenge which will be dubbed
project #leanmusclemass

Have an Amazing day today!

Morning Mass: Monday Strong

2013-02-25T05:51:00.001-05:00

Hey guys,
It's Monday and it's the start of
another great week and there is
many opportunities out there.
If you start strong you will most
certainly end strong!

Go get your 2 glasses of water and
take your multi vitamin and your
fish oil and or calcium so you will
not forget.

Do some light stretching, shake it
all out and lets get right down to
it shall we.

Today's set is to be done 4 X's

20 High knees
40 Jabs
10 Push ups
10 Kicks
10 Counter push ups
10 Bicep curls
10 Tricep kickbacks

Now when you do the curls and
the kickbacks you can and I will
suggest to use a dumbbell, if one
is not available use a can of soup
or a gallon of juice or milk.

Anything is possible if you put the
action with your thoughts and to
your beliefs.

All the best plans in the world do
not mean anything if you don't
put some elbow grease into it.

If you have any questions about
today's routine or just want to
check in and say you kicked the
routine in it's butt, please feel
free to do so!

Hope that each and every one of
you have an Amazing day today!

Dave
