 There have been a few occasions in my somewhat turbulent relationship with money when I’ve literally had a substantial amount of it dangled in front of my nose.
One such occasion took place at the birthing point of the digital revolution. Way back in 1995, along with my then business partner I had established one of the first ‘Multimedia’ companies in the UK. Back then ‘Multimedia’ was a strange, enticing and sexy new breed of company. We were young, dynamic and embodied a kind of ‘visionary’ approach to delivering images and words to an audience. This translated into us producing graphics work that could open people’s minds to an entirely new way of seeing and interacting with information and ultimately life in general. Anyway, that’s what we thought back then.

 We are moving into an era where the most creative will flourish – the tide is turning and there’s no time to waste on undervaluing yourself – nothing is impossible.
Begin the process of thinking and directing your attention towards what’s most amazing for you - open your imagination so that you can flow beyond what you think is possible. Here's a powerful principle to begin working with...

Those with true power have no power. Yes it sounds like a complete contradiction, but let me explain.
How can we walk this world with true power, not the sorry excuse for power that we are sold by governments and the media?
Power is found when you connect with your own true nature: living with truth and passion right by your side. Living with the possibility of failure and disappointment right by your side.

 My Grandfather was a very wise and joyful man. Dire experiences early in his life had opened a portal to a deeper way of seeing the world.
At the tender age of seventeen, he had joined many of his friends in volunteering for service in the First World War. He was too young to be accepted, with the minimum age being eighteen. However, so desperate were they for men to fight that the recruiting officer looked him knowingly in the eye and signed him up.

 From my travelling diaries (2002).... I asked Aduviri a Peruvian Shaman aged 87 why there is so much fear and here is his reply - translated as close as possible into English... I think it is beautiful.
Enjoy :)
"The very simple knowing that you exist – that awareness of something – anything - does not belong to you – you’re not the owner of that basic awareness – it’s not something brought into existence by you or me or anyone else....

 The first thing we look at is how to define success so that it works for you and then we use this foundation to explore ten basic principles. Now although I take time to explain each principle thoroughly they are all very simple and importantly easy to put into practice. You will likely encounter things that you know – things that are obvious, but you’ve ignored up until now.
Don’t worry we all have a tendency to look for short cuts or search for tricks and in the process miss what’s right there in front of us – it’s human nature.

 The beautiful Heath next to where I live is my trusted advisor. Devoid of a language than names and separates it simply creates in the most joyful and natural way – it gives its gifts unconditionally. There is no confusion and there are no mistakes and there is no need for rules or preconditions.
It nourishes me and shows me that to seek for anything outside of my own natural mind is a stressful way to live. It shows me that when I am disconnected from the natural flow of life I carry a harsh, unforgiving and fearful world around in my head wherever I go. It shows me that this fearful world is never real outside of my thoughts...
