"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful
people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is
almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of
educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are
omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will
solve the problems of the human race." Calvin Coolidge

"In the morning as you rise, looking in the mirror say the following to yourself:
I love you
I am grateful for another day
I am trying my very best to be accountable
I am accountable for my decisions today
I forgive you for anything that was not forgiven last night
I love you
At bedtime, as you get in bed – a hand mirror is great for this – say the following to yourself:
I love you
I am sorry for anything left undone today
I am sorry for any fearful decisions made today
I forgive myself – I am forgiven for all of it
I am grateful for forgiveness
I love you"

Divine Union
I love this wonderful, literal depiction of the balanced male/female energies made manifest in the real world, and wanted to share it.
This metaphor describes the organic relationship between man and woman, expressing its potential through Lakota Sioux folk lore. The image was received via Lakota Sioux Henry Houston.
The vision is one of the beautiful, wild mare taking flight freely through the open plain, her mane whipping in the wind. The strength of her powerfully sculptured legs merge with the earth, majestically creating its own drumbeat in tribute to Source. She is pure and primal expression of creative power.
What is possible for her becomes totally transformed when her beloved is riding her, the masculine strength who knows and honors her power. It is through his surrender to her that he is able to become one with her. His masterful leadership and understanding of her raw power, her desires and her vision guides and directs the powerful energies in a manner that manifests the greatest good for the unified collaboration. He harnesses the energy into a purposeful end for both.
He does not fear or compete with her magnificent power. Through surrender and union, he experiences his True Nature beyond the world of form and this unleashes his own spiritual power. He is free! She gratefully surrenders to his leadership, for it grounds her, stabilizes her energy, and allows for it's manifestation on the physical plane. Both are empowered by the union. Still each of them stands sovereign in his and her own power. Out of the balanced unity is created a third force, a natural flow of synergistic energy between them that combines their individual wholeness into an infinitely expanded wholeness together. All of creation joins in the celebration of this Divine Union.
Love & Blessings,

Why should I be paid to do what is easy for me and I love?
This question came up at a coaching workshop recently with the source foundation, and really made a massive impact on the group.
Reasons we came up with
-Im good at it
- It is hard for someone else
- For a body to function each part must do what it is designed to do, a hand can not be a head.
- Why not?
- This is my flow
Many times we work to get paid, and then use that money to do the things we love.
What if this wasnt necessary and we could have it all. Financial sufficiency (thankyou to Lynne Twist) was a massive breakthrough for me yesterday. Many times we focus on financial abundance, but from a place of lack where we believe we need to store up a lot just incase. What if we always had enough to do what we wanted in that moment? What if there was a new financial system, and the current destruction is making way for the new? What if we are the people who hospiced the world through this transformation? What if each one of us chose to be a leader right now, not waiting for someone older, wiser, or better prepared but knowing that each of us is divinely prepared with all we need to start being the change now.
Our perspective on the world right now makes an enormous difference. Yes we can not ignore people are hurting, things will likely get worse for many as we move forward. But the time is now to move forward and bring about the transformation of the world, a place where people express themselves uniquely unbounded by old paradigms or social norms.
Why am I involved in the transformation of the planet?
Why does love and goodness always prevail in the world?
Why is it so easy to live a life of inspiration and led by the heart?
Why are so many juicy souls committed to a world where everyone is free to thrive?
Why am i constantly surrounded by amazing people allowing me to play my biggest game?
What why questions empower you to make a massive difference today?

Peter's Purpose Perpendicular Point Pants
“In essence we are all the same, yet we are all unique in so many ways.
It is not our purpose to ask how we should be.
It is not our purpose to be how others expect us to be.
It is our purpose to discover how we are destined to be…
and then to be it.
To be it boldly and bravely.
To be ourselves not arrogantly, not aggressively.
To be ourselves humbly.
To be ourselves and serve our creator.
To be ourselves and serve others.
To be ourselves in service of our highest good.
To be ourselves in service of the good of all…and to do so in our own unique way the way that
brings us the greatest, deepest joys that we may continue to serve forever and enjoy every
blessing bestowed upon us by our Creator, by others, by ourselves and by our highest good.”

Structure for flow
What is a dam without walls? Water without a container
In my life I have often been bold, confident and up for almost any challenge. Whilst I do not see this changing to a large extent I am becoming more and more aware of my need for structure, planning and the right team.
Whilst a warrior is completely present in his mission, and able to flow in the moment he must also create a framework for his life that allows this mission to be achieved at the highest level. Without this structure his energy becomes dispersed, losing focus or potentially blowing up the project he so passionately started.
Tonight I gained much perspective and will remember this for a long time to come, a night when I laughed and cried at the same time as I humbly grow through life's challenges.

What are the chances?
2009 has only just begun and has already been a magical mystery tour filled with magical randomness and people I love. After our purpose workshop this evening I decided it would be fun to go for a ferry ride to Kirribilli with Sakti. My mind said this was illogical, it was late and should be sleeping but I trusted and experienced a blissful experience of complete prescence gliding across the waters of the harbour as they reflected the moon. We then bumped into another friend Ruben and his girlfriend Emily on the ferry, What are the chances?
The conversation that evolved tonight with my good friend Sakti was all about "What are the chances?", meaning all the crazy synchonicities we experience in this reality we call life. A book recommended by another friend Nicola and emailed to me that day was the same one Sakti offered to lend me that night. Sakti really stirred up some deep questions in me and left me with a deep knowing in my heart that once we have clarity of purpose, anything is possible.
Whether it be thinking of someone and they call, or bumping into the exact person we need in that moment, or finding that book we need I know I am truly grateful to be having this magical experience.
