She had a sparkle in her eye and deep admiration in her voice as she spoke. “You are so great. I wish I had what you have.”

Rosa Parks: The Gonads to Lead!

As deeply grateful as I was for the compliment, I asked, “What does that mean?” The young lady who was telling me how great I am went on to say that she just doesn’t have that kind of greatness within her.

Leaning down slightly, I looked her straight in the eyes and asked, “Have you always been a liar?”

Clearly shocked and quite defensive she retorted, “I don’t lie!”

“Oh really? Then what do you call what you just said?”

She said that she wasn’t lying about what she said about me.  I told her that the lie was what she said about herself.

Look I know this may come as a bit of a bombshell to you, but despite what you may have believed, greatness is not reserved for the few…

Greatness is available to all who are willing to claim it.  Sadly, few have the gonads to take a stand and claim their own greatness.

‎“Real leaders are ‘freaks’ who found their unique value set and became passionate about sharing it.” ~Dov Baron

When you first step up and begin taking a stand, you may be seen as weird or a freak.  Some people will tell you that you are getting too big for your boots and suggest that you should tone it down.

So let me ask you– Do you know what you stand for?  Are you willing to stand and fight for it, even if no one understands?

The simple truth is it doesn’t matter if no one else believes; you must believe with all your heart, all your soul and all your might that you are here with a purpose. When you do this, all excuses including time, money and other people’s opinions immediately die!

To give it to you between the eyes–

Too far and too much are excuses we have all overcome when what we needed to do mattered more than the excuse we held! ~Dov Baron

Are you going to keep believing what others say is impossible? Or are you willing to be a Rosa Parks, Thomas Edison, a Guglielmo Marconi, a Werner Heisenberg, a Roger Bannister, a Wright brother about what it is that you came here to do?

“With a single shift from ‘impossible’ to ‘I’m Possible’ people do what others consider impossible everyday. Avoid believing other peoples’ limitations.” ~Dov Baron

Is where you are where you want to be? Is where you are where you see yourself continuing to be? Or are you brave enough, enough of a leader to dream a bigger dream of your reality and act upon it with the faith, power and sweat to make it happen? Do you love life enough to want even more of it? Or are you just looking to ease the pain of where you are now?

Seriously, put some thought into this. What are you waiting for? Nothing and no one is coming to rescue you. Those who know the sweet nectar of true success understand that it was worth the effort, even in the moments where they wanted to quit.  While others are complaining, the true leader is finding better ways and working at becoming better with those better ways.

Do you want your relationships, your work, your life to matter? I believe that you have a responsibility to make not only your life better, but also the lives of those you touch.

“You did not get your dreams by accident; they are your soul crying out for expression.” ~Dov Baron

Take care of your dreams; protect them for they are sacred.  Remember that those who have given up on their dreams cannot fully support you in yours. They will tell you it can’t be done because they did not have the courage to do it themselves.

So instead of wishful thinking or running excuses about why it can’t be done, RIGHT NOW recall a moment in your own history or the history of someone you know when you saw the impossible occur! Put your focus there, because it will help you understand that what you once believed to be impossible is, in fact, possible.

I have to say it is one of the great blessings of my life to see folks crush their fears and limitation so that they can fly to their dreams. One of the most wonderful gifts of being who I am and doing what I do is that at our Claim Your Competitive Edge event I get to guide people just like you to directly experience that what they had previously considered impossible become possible.

Claim Your Competitive Edge is a wake-up call to become what you are truly capable of.

This event is NOT for everyone. It’s only for those who willing to play full-out.  It’s a place where you will see and experience people coming back to their authentic selves.  At Claim Your Competitive Edge, you will experience people filled with the self-respect and joy that comes from reclaiming the part of themselves they had believed was gone forever. At Claim Your Competitive Edge you will experience people seizing life in its fullest because they develop the gonads to take the lead in their lives and the lives they touch.

Why does all this matter?

Because when you understand that when you lead from a place of your own center

YOU ARE A TRUE LEADER!

I look forward to your feedback and comments

With gratitude,

P.S. Have you heard “The Accidental Guru” Radio Show yet? I’m your host every Friday Morning from 11AM-12 noon (PST) Details are at: http://radiodov.com

I stopped you and asked if you trusted me?…You said you did.  Looking you in the eye and giving you all my attention, I said; Please remember that you are not alone, unless you make yourself alone. Reach out, there’s no shame in being in a difficult situation. The shame is to think we need to hide.

Until you begin making a shift to thinking, feeling and behaving in ways that are independent of the need to please others, you will never truly embrace following your heart and soul’s passion.  Furthermore, if you do not develop the kind of independence I’m referring to, you can be pretty certain that true wealth will also evade you.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not suggesting that you become some heartless ‘a-hole’ who doesn’t care about anyone. No, this is about understanding that when you begin to follow your path, recognize your unique value, and make decisions based on that, money and wealth will flow to you. Once this begins to happen you can also be fairly certain that you will, plain and simple begin to piss some folks off.

You are not alone, we, the hearts,  souls and minds dedicated to raising the consciousness of the planet are here for you and with you.

I look forward to your comments and feedback.

Until next time, live with courage, Dov…

I want to share with you the secret to becoming lucky.  But first, I like to think I have a good grasp on who my readers are, and so with your permission, I would like to ask you a couple of questions, if that’s okay with you.

Let me start here:  How many times have you been told, in one form or another, that someone has some kind of magical solution to your problem?  You know what, you don’t need to answer that; the truth is it’s probably more often than you can count with infomercials, commercials, web pages, and goodness knows what else.

Over time, we’ve all been bombarded with magical solutions:  Everything from something that will cook your chicken in record time, slice a can and your tomatoes without even dulling your blade,  magic weight loss pills, instant hair for your bald spot, instant hair removal for your hairy spots, penis enlargers, breast enlargers, tummy tuckers, butt lifters, blenders that do everything but clean your bathroom floor, and a myriad of other miracles for just three easy payments of… The problem is that even if something is of genuine value, most people have been so soured by the smooth talking commercials that we can’t recognize true value anymore.

The question is this:  Is there something you can trust to actually deliver what you want? The answer is YES! However, don’t panic, I am not going to sell it to you, and in fact, neither can anyone else.

My guess is that if you are reading this, (which of course you are), you have at one time or another felt a bit ripped off by someone’s magical promises and as a result you are smart enough to have done your research and analysis of what’s being offered to see if it is going to truly be of genuine assistance, right?

My guess is that the reason you even purchased some of the things is because you had a problem and you wanted a solution.  Simple, right? I would guess that you pride yourself on being open-minded. You’re likely someone who feels they have at the very least a fundamental understanding of the way life works and you now understand that it’s your time to step up, make things happen, and as a result others likely look to you as a leader. Again, am I right?  If I’m at least somewhat on target, then there’s a good chance that you are committed to making a difference not only in your life, but also in the lives of others.  Again, if I’m at least somewhat right, please read on.  If not, you can go read something else and I promise to take no offense.

Now let’s get back to the thing you can trust to actually deliver what you want…even though I already told you that I can’t sell it to you, it does have a price, in fact there are three accumulative prices and for many these prices will just be too high.

Let me give you a clue to what it is:  Here’s a riddle for you:

What’s the one thing you can allow to be stolen from you and never be able to get back?

TIME!

Time is one of the prices you will have to pay, it’s not the only price, but it’s the first one.  To get what you want in life, whether you’re using magical weight loss pills or anything else, it all takes a certain amount of time.  To get what you want in life, each day you will have to dedicate some time to getting ‘it.’

The second price you must pay is one of an emotional investment.  Simply going through the motions is not enough! You must do what you need to do to get where you want to get and you must do it with absolute PASSION!

The place where this can get tough is there will be days when you feel like the results will never happen and on those days you must find the way to apply even more passion.

The third price you will need to pay is the one so very few are willing to invest and that is the price of:

‘Action in the Face of Ridicule.’

‘They’ will ridicule you; they will say you are crazy; they will laugh at you for putting in the time and doing so with passion.  And worst of all, ‘they’ will likely be the people who ‘love’ you.

Why will they do that?  Well, there are many reasons that I don’t have space to deal with right here, but what I can tell you right off the bat is they will ridicule you because they too have been sold the idea of magical thinking, where everything appears supposedly without any effort and if it doesn’t, it’s just not worth it.

Know this, while you are driving to your dreams there will be times particularly at the beginning where they and maybe even you cannot see the results you are looking for. However, if you are truly on your path and you are paying the price, you will know that what they are looking to see and cannot yet see in the outer world is already 100% real in your inner world and it’s just a matter of ‘time’ before it shows up in your outer reality.

But, beware!  As they sit there holding on to their mediocrity and minimizing everything you do and telling you to stop dreaming, when what it is that you have been investing in with your time, emotional energy, and your willingness to face disapproval does show up, they will call you ‘lucky.’

They will not understand and neither should you try to convince them for…

The dreamer cannot explain the process of dreaming to one who refuses to dream.

You can describe swimming to someone who has never swam but that’s not the same as diving in, feeling the rush of the water against your skin, hearing the sound of your own body submerge into the muffled silence as the taste of the ocean washes across your taste buds.  There is no explaining to those who are not willing to experience.

On your journey away from the town of mediocrity to the top of Dream Mountain, there will be things that become dead weight that you can no longer carry. Endless hours of watching TV, gossiping about celebrities you actually know nothing of any substance about, eating rather than dealing with emotions, and as you will discover for yourself, a myriad of other things will just fall away.

When you start achieving what you want in life they will say; “you’ve changed” and you may be tempted to say; “No, I haven’t.”  Please don’t do that to yourself!  Say “YES I have, and thank you for noticing.” The fact is, you are changing and change is a natural part of being on the planet and those who complain that you’ve changed are clearly trying to hang on to some glory days gone by.  Maybe a memory of being the hottest kid in school, 10, 20, or however many years ago or maybe some other past glory.

The path to fulfilling your dreams is not for the weak.

The path to your dreams is in fact the hero’s journey and it can be a lonely one unless you seek out fellow travelers. Fellow seekers who have also invested their time, their passion and they too have been ridiculed for being a dreamer. Those who walk this path successfully find fellow travelers to support their journey.

Look, here’s what I found: When you invest the three things I’ve outlined here: Time, Energy, and the Willingness to Face Ridicule, it will appear that you get ‘lucky’, that things appear to happen magically for you.

What you will know is the truth: You got “lucky” because you did what it took.

I look forward to your feedback and comments.

Until next time; live with courage, Dov… 

It was in that moment that you felt completely alive, excited to be on this planet, enthusiastic to be significant, and you were probably inspired to make a difference.  It was one of those moments where you knew this is the kind of life you were born to live… everyday.    

How did you get to that moment?

You decided, that’s how! You got to that glorious moment via a decision and what would your life have been without that one decision?

Decisions are the doorway to change.

Change starts from a moment of decision.

Think about a decision you made that changed your life. Now think about the decision that CAN change your life. What are you waiting for?

You can passively wait for one of those moments to arrive… Or you can make NOW one of those moments.

A life lived without passion is a live only half lived.   

                                                  ~ Dõv Baron

Everything you have experienced in your life has been a result of choices…choices you’ve made for yourself or you allowed someone else to make for you.  Choices are simply  decisions moving you through from one moment to next.  

The question to ask yourself is: are you moving from one magnificent moment to the next or are you ‘choosing’ to not make a decision and as a result living a passionless existence.

You can live with more passion by starting with just one decision.  Living a passion filled life may require different decisions than the ones you currently make when you wake up. However, you can passively wait to experience another spontaneous moment of passion or you can decide to make now the moment that propels you to the life you were born to live.  

This is the only way to live with passion and become who you were born to be.

Let me ask you: What are the lyrics to your soul’s song?  Listen carefully you’ll know… it’s the song that quietly plays in the back of your mind. You can hear it in the moments when you quiet the mind and open your heart.

Your dreams are gifts you receive from the creative force, you did not get them by mistake, treat them with respect, for they are your soul crying out for expression.

Your dreams and your often hidden desire to fulfill them are the calling of your soul to fulfill your purpose for being on the planet.

For dreams to become reality we must move them beyond the realm of hope and fantasy. You must be willing to invest what it takes to bring them to fruition, invest in your dreams with all your heart, your soul, your time, money and effort.  Don’t wait for others to give you approval that may never come.

When your heart and mind truly open to your soul dreams opportunities will appear… TAKE THEM!

There was breakdowns, breakthroughs, dancing, singing, deeply profound moments, tears and some real belly laughs.

It’s fascinating to see people come in from around the world with the (ego) mind set that they have done all kinds of personal growth and personal development programs and they will probably already know most of what we cover at Quantum Mind Mastery™... Boy were they blown away.

You know it took me almost 20 years to fully develop the knowledge, wisdom and skills of this program and every time I teach it even I’m blown away. I’m not saying that to blow my own horn, I just wanted to say it was truly an honour to watch each of you own your power and truly begin directing not only the direction of your life but also the power to attract and manifest exactly what you want. What was very cool was that some participants were able to manifest what they wanted within 24 hours of learning the techniques…very cool!

When I get to see people like those who attended really and truly start to remove the crappy beliefs that have held them hostage for so long it is truly inspiring to me and so I want to say here and now:

Thank you for being one of the amazing people who is truly making a difference. Thank you for touching my life.

With gratitude, Dov…
