Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things!

Ordinary people doing extraordinary things; redefining America's concept of success...

You know how America’s definition of success is either related to FAME or FORTUNE and that we are constantly bombarded with information reinforcing this belief so much so that it has become imprinted in our psyches.

Which means, that we often operate on some level of feeling like a failure.

Well, this show is all about celebrating the EXTRAORDINARY lives of us ORDINARY people.

Like you and me.

Today’s show, our first show, is with my good friend, Samuel Kirschner

(Part 1 of Episode 1) in which we discuss his path of self discovery, including the road blocks along the way. Also, as a special treat, a guided meditation just for you!

Samuel Kirschner is an author, teacher, and speaker. You can learn more about him and his work by clicking here and visiting his website.

You can also view his downloadable MP3's, and hear samples, by clicking here.

So give a listen to today's show and listen to his story of transformation, faith and learning.

Enjoy

Yes I watch soap operas

I admit it, I watch soap operas.  Not American soap operas mind you, Korean ones.

Now relax and let me explain!

For the past few years now, I have been a fan of Korean TV. They have some really funny game shows, great docudramas and fun soaps.

The one I am watching now, which is on Monday-Friday, is called the Bizarre Bunch.

Ok..now in order for you to follow you need a little background on all this...so here goes.

It's not your problem.....

Suppose ...
your partner were drinking too much?
or avoided going to the doctor?
or was spending all his/her money?
or stopped taking important medication?

And when you brought it up to talk about, the response you got was "that's my business not yours."
Or It's my body and I will do what I want to do about it!"

What would you do?
What would you say?

Life is.....

Life is suffering....life is bitter....life is sweet?

How do you experience your life?
There is an ancient Chinese painting called the "Three Vinegar tasters"

3 people stand over a barrel of vinegar, each are tasting it, and each have a different expression on his face.
One has a sour expression, one has a bitter expression but the third man is smiling.....

Who are these three people and why are they standing around tasting vinegar in the first place????

Customer No Service

Take a listen to my very first pod cast!

covering customer no service, my new book for acupuncturists, and the health and well being of my pets!

Stop Chasing Carrots

Conscious Consumerism (tm) or in other words, "stop chasing carrots"Ok so this is really commentary on my previous post, but really, have you ever noticed how much time the average person spends chasing carrots?Living their lives in "if only" and "when I" with eyes firmly focused on some fantasy about the future?

OOPS, I dropped my umbilical cord!

Are we really just walking around, our umbilical cord in our hand, just looking for another place to plug it in?

Are we just a bunch of lost sheep looking for someone or something to tell us who we are, why we are here, what's wrong with us, how we can fix it and what we should be doing with ourselves?

Are we just a bundle of unfulfilled dependency needs just looking for a warm body to hold us, protect us and take care of us?

To delegate or not to delegate...

That is the question!
One of the greatest challenges facing all of us today is our "ruggd individualism" you know what i mean.  That psychic gene in our brains that suggests that we have to do it all by ourselves with out any help from anyone.....ok...so this refers mostly to men...but not only men mind you!

Coffee Controversy!

Is it or isn't it.

If I hear one more report about coffee being bad for you and then being good for you I am just going to scream.  Why don't they know for sure!

Well I'll tell you....

Have you ever noticed...

Welcome to my first post here!
Thanks for stopping by...I look forward to engaging you in a provocative dialog.
