Ignite Your Purpose

Riot Cop Shoots Hong Kong Protester with live round #IYP So my thoughts on this news which showed up today was one of being in the middle. I wonder if we all stand up and take a stand in what it is we believe in deeply could we all really and truly make a change?  Then on the flip side I wonder in 100 or 200 years will any of this even matter? Some of the great darmah talks I have witnessed, all the speakers agree that standing up for what you believe in is actually an inside job. That nothing we can do to make a change is done externally but rather internally. I do agree with this as well. For example if we do not love ourselves there is no way we can give love to another as we do not know what it even is. However if we take a look at the health movement or organic movement no matter how small they maybe currently, they have grown massively over the years because the amount of people supporting it has grown. So there must be something to it that if 7 billion of us wanted change, change would have to occur

The Pyramid Sheme and Why We Fall For it #IYP   The Pyramid Scheme it must be as old as time itself. I as always in my talks witnessed today a talk or an indoctrination from a group of people trying to get the next group of people signed up under them so that these new recruits could go out and make the others rich! Rite we have all been there seen this and done that.   Yet what resonated with me today was this saying ( for myself from my experiences growing up and currently) If we don’t stand for something we will fall for anything. That anything (especially in these current times seems to be money and overnight success). So how do we find out what we stand for?   Well that takes as with everything in life time and effort. It also takes a lot of self reflection and soul searching if you will. Going deep inside and knowing what it is we want (that may not happen overnight). What got me was and because I have been in this place where someone sees the potential in us (even though we may not) to use us to

Fat tax politically correct? #IYP  Well, that was not the point of the conversation I overheard but some of the facts that came out made me stand up and take a listen and do some checking of my own. So who pays for all this burden on the medical system?  We the people it is that simple. So when you find out that over 20% of the US Navy is obese and overweight, and as you dig deeper you find it could even be more than that depending on how you look at things. This is the elite forces paid to protect countries and even they are getting less and less fit. So how does that effect the and or burden our health care system. Why is it that none of us are taught how to take care of ourselves? Why are we not taught how to eat. Why are we not taught how important it is to keep the body physically active and fit which includes cardiovascular and muscular strength and health. Which will then benefit each of our mental health.  In the end the question about a fat tax means if someone who puts in the time effort and mon

Are you happy now and what does that mean? Happy or happiness have any one of us actually been taught to seek this or look for this or better yet the fact would be to be this. Have any of us been taught what it is or what it feels like to be happy.  Do we seek jobs that make us happy, I feel some do yes but I also feel in this day and age with numbers like 72% of North Americans not liking their jobs that we as a society are missing the make in massive ways.  At a gathering this weekend an older timer shut down a youngster who was loud talking about changing the world to make his self rich get the girls the big houses and the cars.  All things most males are force feed growing up in these current days. Now this sassy old bat simply replied after all his nonsensical boasting (which we have all done in our days btw) so will that then make you happy.  To my surprise he for 1 had no reply when in this day and age this is  not normal, we thought there would be an abrasive response on how we was being attacked.

Women Stabs Child in the Face While Walking With His Family #IYP At Ignite Your Purpose we focus mainly on health and self care and being better. This clip that you can find all over the internet show exactly how we truly have no clue what is going on mentally in anyone's head. The what the why the reason but something we do feel is that diet, nutrition, and what we feed our soul daily is what shows up in life. For the women who did this inexcusable act we have to wonder what she is being feed drug wise and as well what she is feeding herself nutrition wise and as well as media wise. My heart goes out to the child that will face a lifetime of trauma. As well to the parents who I have no clue could have avoided that situation. No where in any of my hand to hand combat or Krav training would you think that a women would be walking around with a butcher knife looking to attack an innocent child! We talk Longevity through a Healthy lifestyle, a mix of Mental, Physical and Spiritual knowledge, the Mind, Bod

Heart Stress Test And The Outcomes #IYP (Part 2) Heart stress test and the outcomes that come from them (I have never done one in a medical office) but I was asked to go for a chin wag today over a cup of tea and the conversation we had was about his heart stress test. I found the entire process very interesting (anyone can look up online what they do in a test like this) after he spoke about the test and what was done, how his body reacted and then finally how it felt to do it, the doctor then gave him the results. The results were that he was in the beginning stages of heart issues mainly stress to the heart. As we continued to talk, and as he ate, drank, and was on the phone multi tasking (all normal life for all of us correct) what he said next was the most perfect reflection of being truly unaware of what is going on in your own life. I can remember vividly being there not that long ago. Meaning not at all paying attention to what we put inside our body and mind, then as well not moving the body phys

Inspired To Action For Our Growth #IYP Inspired to action for our growth by the little things all around us if we pay attention to it and for it. As always I talk about the tales I experience in my day to day life which end up being learning lesson for growth. So I have been inspired to action by those whom are in long term care in the hospital which I have had to visit as of late with a little injury I incurred during Krav Maga Training. To be in a place like a hospital or to be around older people, the type of age when you know there is not a lot of time left can teach us so much if we are open to listening and accepting the truths that are right in front of us because we will all be there (that age) one day. This one older lady who was all there mentally and physically said to me; 'I try to tell all the other occupants that you are what you eat'.  It made so much sense to me that we in our current state (these younger ages) we do not think about the effects of things 2, 5, 10 , 20 years into our futur

How to Slow Down Life For The Better #IYP How to Slow down life for the better and enjoy the little things each and every one of us take for granted each second of the day. What I am talking about the little things like sight, smell, touch, sound, love, freedom, health, friends, family, sky, earth.... I could go on for days!  So why am I talking about this, well let me say this doing something and then being forced to do something are two different worlds and the forced world has made me very very appreciative. The thing is with any type of mindfulness or meditation or yoga or whatever it is each one of us does to relax the mind body soul, it is just that, our break to relax to slow down for the allotted time we deem. However for me currently I am being forced to be slow due to an injury and it is completely different. It is 24/7 slow time and 24/7 mindfulness. I mean 24/7 there is no break there is only now and what is it I am doing in the now so that I do not cause myself pain. It has been a truly ama

The Answer to Everything Is Within Us #IYP The answer to everything is Within Us, yet we (myself at least) tend to look for answers or maybe conformation or even maybe our worth or value based on an outside opinion.  Now because of this simple factor of giving our power away, we (well me personally) tend to freeze up with doubts about what others man think, or say, and then NOT end up doing that certain something which gets us closer to our dreams. For myself as you know I always hold my feet to the fire first, I sometimes think that this one person holds my entire life, dreams, hopes and aspirations in their hands, and because of this I tend then to hold off on my end, or put these simple tasks off until I can over ride my auto pilot brain, and this sometimes takes a day or two. There are so many factors that come into play on this from the worry of being hustled to the worry of someone elses opinion, either way we all have our own reasons as to why but they are not at all reality, simply just a fear or a

Millennial Foods and Apps Where Is It Going? #IYP Millennial Foods and apps where is it going, and how is it going to effect the health of the nation and planet? It is something that needs just a little awareness shed onto it as with this instant get anything and do anything now world we live, which is also very involved around us being attached to a phone, computer or some type of device which then leaves us some what sedentary, moving less and less as a people...well I then think it is open for a discussion So the study which was done by a few Universities in the heartland of the USA reported that a high percent of the student body (80% or so) was charging massive amounts of money onto credit cards and the major or dominant charges were from delivery of food from certain apps.  I mean there is so many areas we could look into here such as who is paying those bills (mom and dad) what type of foods are we putting into our bodies, and how is it we are so busy (playing games or on social media) that we have

Following The Crowd, Where Does It Get Us? #IYP Following the crowd, where does that get us really? It is a human trait we all fall prey to, this is a fact. Myself included time and time again it happens to me...if I do not know what it is in the end that I want, or what my end goal is.  That is when I will fall prey to it, as well if I do zero research on the "thing" it is that the crowd is following or doing.  We tend to find trust in someone or something (a brand) and from there we (a lot of the time, not all the time) will over ride our own thoughts and processes or research or gut feeling and go with the advice or better yet follow the crowd to whatever the hip new trend is or to whatever all the cool kids are doing. It's this over ride that has me fascinated, we will give our power away, we will give our self discovery away, we will give our intuition away, we will give our learning process away because we feel or we believe that the person / brand who has recommended a certain something has more p

Not Giving Up On You #IYP Not Giving Up on You or better yet not giving up on yourself! It is that simple and the first thing I want to callout on today's show is the fact that if you are following people on social media that claim it's always perfect in life or it's always blue sky and rainbow's please unfollow them because that is not real life, remember we are all human and things both good and bad happen daily in our human life! As well if you happen to believe or fall for the highlights these people are putting up and then compare their highlights to your own life and think less of yourself, then you also need to stop that nonsense asap!! The first question that came up started today with, well how have you been keep up with your New Years Resolution XX amount of month's later?  To which I replied I do not just do New Year's Day, I do almost every day resolutions to better myself. By doing this I keep myself on point daily for the long haul goals! Having said that I also immediately mentioned that so

The Attention Span Of A Goldfish #IYP The attention span of a goldfish which is something like 7-12 seconds is that what we have succumb to? Is that not incredible, I think so, and sadly it is something we are seeing more and more as the days go by with all the gadgets, goodies and technology as it progresses and pushes forward. So have we become one with the goldfish? Or has all this screen time and tech really just taken our minds to another level of dopamine needs? The dopamine is the excitement factor that happens in our mind and body, the release of it actually (not unlike a high, drug or alcohol substance in the body). We look for more of these hits and how we get them...scroll, video games, screen simulation.  We have no clue the true implications of the flicker rates on our screens but nonetheless they are making us more addicted that is a for-sure. There is no finger to point or blame to be laid, however we do need to take on the responsibility of educating ourselves as to what the outcomes of

What I Want Is What I Got In The End #IYP A trip to the Hospital lead me to an amazing conversation with an elderly lady and a massive lesson in understanding for myself and I hope all of you as well. Meaning what we want and think of something is not always the same as what the people who we want and think it for may think for themselves! Here is how this played out. So I had an issue with my ribs from some Krav Maga training I was doing and I was told to be on the safe side to take a visit to the hospital. So I did, and within I would say 5 minutes this old timer rolled up beside me to strike up a conversation, and ohh boy what an awesome conversation it was! She told me all about way back when how she had done the same thing (possibly breaking some ribs, and how painful it was) from there she started telling me how she would give anything to have those days back. She was not unhappy with where she was at or how she was living but simply saying (I think anyway) how she wishes she had her mobility and fre

The Future Looks Bright Once You Let It Part 2 #IYP In Part 2 of this chat I go deeper into the fact of my ant sized view (on how I assumed the world was crashing down on me) instead of my bird's eye view (which is now my fact of endless possibilities and not being held back). I also talk about the new found freedom, the new found creativity and the fact that I am not feeling held down or held back in anyway. I am able to expand at a much faster rate as I know the amount of study and time I put into this discipline that others just are not able to keep up with nor do they have access to the teachings, this all allows me to do any type of content when and how I feel and see fit to best suit the audience. None of these things were in my thought process when this news hit.... How blessed we are to have some tools in the shed to work with!  I am so very thankful for the insight and for this lesson! We talk Longevity through a Healthy lifestyle, a mix of Mental, Physical and Spiritual knowledge, the Mind, Bod

The Future Looks Bright Once You Let It #IYP So I have to let you all know how a piece of information that was told to me threw me into a tizzy for a few days because of all the wrong reasons. You may ask what or why, so let me give you the background. I was leaving for a month away from my office and area, I had a few final calls and interviews to do before going, as I knew I would be offline due to travel and time changes for about 2 days. One of my last conversations was a massive exciting, high vibration, pump you up, type conversation, the sky is the limit conversation where you leave it thinking anything is possible. We chatted about the high hopes for the future of this here show, new gear (which I ordered that day) new avenues we were going to chase down, the private jets and world tours we would be doing in the next few months to years. Like it was a mind blowing type conversation... But in the back of my mind I felt something was off, yet I paid no attention to it. So 2 plus days later I get a t

How To Protect Yourself From Negative Energy #IYP How is this done, why is this done and do I need to do it? Well, I think with the times we are all going through currently on this planet that this is a very good idea. On today's show I speak about how remaining silent for a number of reason's may actually help you and the person or person's you are surrounding yourself with protect energies and sanity. Sometimes we just want to be heard and sometimes we just want to be right! It is not very often we just sit back and listen and allow what ever is meant to happen or be just happen, we tend to want to intervene or we tend to want to sound smart or be right or think we are some type guru trying to help others. Yet we are not GOD or the Universe, so why try to take on that responsibility? Yes, I speak about this from experience of course. The first 3-6 months on this journey of mine with all the new information I was learning and implementing I just wanted to tell the world so when people would ask....Boom

Reliving Your Life With A New Outlook #IYP How often do you, like me always think of the 'grass could be greener' over there option? So on today's show I go over a great little reminder chat with a former business partner of my past and how that mindset set off 2 completely different emotions and this lead to a massive state of confusion and frustration, which as always once you sit with it leads to clarity and appreciation for the lesson at hand.  The issues that came up for me; 1. The former Anxiety and Stress and relief for leaving 2. Fear, FOMO, lack, contraction for leaving Crazy right, on the one hand so happy and grateful that I did not have to deal with any of the BS I use to have to deal with, but at the same time I was then doubting myself for letting go of the monies that came along with the business and company I had. So this massive amount of happiness and fear at the exact same time was a very, very new state of being for me. The thing I noticed was that the feeling, the emotion of fear w

Judge Me Not For What I Do Not Understand #IYP That is correct, the judgement in all of us, towards ourselves, towards others, towards events, towards everything basically. We run all the information that we get from our 5 senses "sight, sounds, taste, smell, touch" and then take that info a run it through our own filters, programming, mind,  and by that I mean how each one of us individually was brought up in the first 7 years of our lives.  On top of that we are all victims and fall prey to mis information or lack of information or being sold or told a narrative that is either false or not complete. For an example I will use this, in school we are taught all the facts of the oceans that we know as humans. Fair enough correct, but what we are not told even to this day is that we have explored less than 5% of the ocean,(around there) so that means we no zero about 95% of it, yet as humans we think we know all there is to know about the ocean. So how can we (any of us) truly claim that we really know what is
