On March 16, 2006 in southeastern Afghanistan during a fierce ambush and subsequent firefight,  Spc. Channing Moss was impaled by a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG). The tip of the RPG was visible beneath the skin of his upper right thigh and the tail fin protruded from his left torso. Through the dedication of fellow soldiers, the live ordinance was surgically removed and safely detonated, and he survived this ordeal.

As I read this amazing story, I began to consider that phrase: rocket in the gut. I think we all have a rocket in our gut that needs to be removed for our survival. We all have something of explosive capability that if brought out and properly detonated, it’s sheer firepower can be harnessed to do it’s job. Now I understand that the goal of a real RPG is to kill and maim, and that’s why I want to be delicate when making sensitive comparisons. Consider the power inherent in an RPG. It could be released from this deadly rocket and harnessed and shepherded into something useful and positive, if properly handled.

You have power in you that needs to be released in order to effect the greater world. Leave it in, and it could kill your desire, your joy, your passion for living. But let it out and direct it into something positive and useful for the world, and you will not only save yourself, you will save those around you as well.

What is your “rocket in the gut?” What  is your ticking time bomb of power that needs to be removed and changed into something that positively effects the world? The time to release that power is NOW!

I heard this song on the radio when it was first released, but I didn’t pay it too much attention. Then one day, my teenage daughter said, “There’s a Sister Hazel song that sounds just like the gospel you continually preach. Listen to it, and you’ll love it.”

So I did. I listened to it carefully, and I googled the lyrics. My daughter was absolutely correct.

Those of you familiar with my work know that I believe and teach this: the only way to change anything in your life is to change your thoughts -  and the only way to change everything in your life is to change your thoughts.

Are there things in your life that need changing? Do you long for more happiness? More abundance? More passion for living? More satisfaction? More success?

It all begins by changing your thinking.

That’s the basis of my teaching in ‘Mastering Your Power of Release,’ and in ‘7 Days Away From Powerfully Positive Living.’

Changing your thinking, particularly as it relates to releasing those things that need to be released in your life, is what we’ll be discussing during a free teleseminar that I’m hosting very soon (would have been sooner, but my laptop died and my new one is supposed to be here tomorrow). I’ll have more info coming about that teleseminar next week.

And changing your thinking is one of the keys taught in a brand new in-home retreat that I’m planning to offer, complete with teaching teleseminars, unlimited email coaching, and one-on-one personal telephone consultation (that’s a very rare offering for me these days because of time constraints). Expect an announcement about this very soon.

In the meantime, go to itunes and download “Change Your Mind” by Sister Hazel. Google the lyrics and read them, particularly the chorus. Don’t ignore the truth in these words just because this happens to be a pop song. Believe me, whoever wrote these lyrics is a genius, because the secret to changing anything is to change your mind.

Was I supposed to have ice cream for supper. Nope, I really wasn’t. My doctor recently told me that my cholesteral needs to drop a few points. But, that’s what I wanted, and sometimes, we just have to do what we want to do.

And, guess what – I can start over tomorrow.

Some of you may be saying, ‘that’s a cop-out’…but I don’t think it is. I think that starting over is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal. Because, let’s face facts: at times, we’re going to make wrong choices; we’re going to forget some of our own life rules: we’re going to screw-up.

But we can ALWAYS start over.

Are you accomplishing all you’d like to accomplish?
Have you mastered everything you intend to master?
Are you where you want to be?

Don’t beat yourself up. Just start over.

Tomorrow, I’ll have oatmeal for breakfast and fruit for a snack. I’ll have tuna for lunch and a salad for supper. I’ll drink my water and be sure and have lots of fiber. I’ll exercise. I’ll start over.

You can always begin again.

If you need a little help starting over, you can find plenty from many different sources. You might want to consider ‘Mastering Your Power of Release.’ It’s the method that allows me to pursue happiness and success daily.

Be blessed!

These methods are not magic.

Nothing is. Some things may work so well that they seem like magic. As a matter of fact, my very first sharing of these methods with a wider audience was in a self-published paperback book entitled, “Almost Like Magic.” And, once you see how easy it is to change your life, you might be tempted to call this magic.

But it’s not magic.

You can call it effective. You can call it life-changing. And I appreciate the people who have written to say that it has absolutely changed their lives for the better.

You can call it uncomplicated, because it actually is downright simple. And, even though it takes some study and some practice, once you get the hang of it, you really can change your life from negative to positive…from struggling to happy.

But don’t expect a magic phrase that, once uttered, does all the work for you. Because there’s no magic bullet. It’s simply applied science, and that means it takes some application on your part.

So, no, it’s not magic.

It just feels that way.

After months of collecting information, doing research, writing, testing, recording, interviewing, putting it all together, pre-launching, and tweaking,  Mastering Your Power of Release is ready for the greater world.

What is it?

It’s two ebooks and 9 MP3 audio files bundled into one product with one objective – to deliver high quality techniques that will allow you to release the baggage that’s currently holding you back and to clear the blocks standing between you and your very best life.

These methods come from Dr. Joe Vitale, Pat O’Bryan, Mandy Evans, Amy Scott Grant, Suzanne Burns, Colin Joss, Amanda Goldston, Pat Hicks, Angela Treat Lyon, Susan Denham, and me. I’m grateful to have the participation of these wonderful, bright, and successful people.

They are my chosen “Release Masters,” and I appreciate every one of them for readily adding their unique perspective to this effort. All of their approaches are different, and all of their approaches work.

What more could I have asked of them? And what more could you ask of a product that can make a real difference in your life? This product is insightful, personal, and wise. But, most of all, it’s effective.

It’s something everyone can use to their benefit.

And that’s why I’m proud.

Thanks to everyone who took part in this project. Your contributions are already making a big difference in lots of lives, and I appreciate your hard work and your giving, helpful spirit.

I search the internet constantly looking for new tips and techniques. Just today I ran across sites and blog posts suggesting aromatherapy, chi gong, raw foods, and several other imaginative approaches to breaking the barriers that hold people back. Yesterday I got an email from a reader who has recently used “sound therapy combined with a type of guided imagery hypnosis for releasing the deepest of blocks.”

I know what works for me, and I’ve shared my methods with many others who have found them powerfully useful for releasing and cleaing. But I’d like to know what works for you. If you would share a comment below, that would be grand.

Happiness always,

Buz

BELIEF!

When you expect peace and success in all your endeavors, and patiently wait for those to occur, that’s belief.

Recently, I decided to change web hosts. And changing web hosts feels a lot like starting over. You have to be patient and wait while you make sure that everything moves properly. You have to test and retest to be sure your links work. You have to access each page to be sure that they still exist.

When you have worked on a site for a couple of years, moving it can be scary. But I really do follow my own advice. So, in this situation, I did what I always do. I released fear and replaced it with belief. And belief is a powerful thing.

Do you want to guarantee patience, peace, and success in everything you do? Then release fear and replace it with belief. It works every time.
