**When you’re OUT looking for a sign from above & suddenly the payphone rings…** . “Hello? God, is that you?” >“YOU’VE REACHED CUSTOMER SUPPORT.” “Who is this?” >“MY NAME IS STEVE.” “Are you in Heaven, Steve?” >“NO, INDIA.” “Great, I ask God to answer my questions & I get Steve from India. >“NOT ‘INDIA’...IN-D-I…IN-THE-I”. “In-The-I?” >“YES, IN-THE-I…“I” MEANING, “YOU”…IN YOU! YOU’RE LOOKING OUT WHEN THE ANSWER’S *IN YOU*! . To answer your question; I did not speak with Steve from India on a pay phone. However, I woke up this morning praying for guidance; looking, listening, searching, & hoping for some kind of answer to my questions. . Maybe you have some questions of your own; Should I apply to this school? Should I marry this person? Should I leave this job? Should I start my own business? Am I called to this vocation? These inner questions knock at the door daily but sometimes we have so much noise around us that we block out the voice INside us. We get so busy looking at people, what they think, what they thought, how they felt, that we forget to look withIN ourselves. . We have INternally what we need to get through this stage of being stuck, being in the middle, neither here nor there. The things that we’ve been worried about, upset about, frustrated about; if we just stopped trying to figure it out & just go with our gut, our INstincts, down INside of us we’ll discover the answer is already IN us. Its IN our thought life, its IN our dreams, its IN our talents, its IN our giftings, its IN our ability - It’s IN YOU! . So if you ever find yourself OUT searching for answers, I hope you remember my friend steve from INdia :) . 🎧 Alina Baraz & Galimatias- Can I (Tez Cadey Remix)...the lyrics 😍

*** The Simba Syndrome *** . The greatest tragedy in the Lion King is that Simba forgot who he was. Do you know who you are? I AM what? What are your I AM statements? I challenge you to come up with 3, "I Am's" right now & you might not 'be' that right now but speak it as though you were. Mine is; •I AM a graduate of a PhD program; Doctor of Social Science & Neuroplasticity, •I AM a speaker, •I AM an educator, •I AM an inspiration, •I AM a light bearer. Think about it for a minute...who are you?... because whatever follows your “I AM” will literally change your life. . >>Mufasa voice<< "Simba...remember who you are!" . *** Watch Now & Subscribe *** L.I.F.E: Living Inspired Fueling Excellence (S3: E2) Youtube.com/MikeDuffyJr . #lionking #favorite #movie simba #iam #knowyourworth #canigetyournumber #diamondsnevergoondiscount #strength #power #courage #be #you #change #truth #power #rolemodel #ceo #doctor #phd #neuroplasticity #socialscience #education #light #perspective #motivation #inspiration #speaker #personalgrowth #lion #livetoinspire

*To Read A Book Or Watch The Notebook…That is the question.* . Have you ever thought about the fact that what you do, how you live, what you become, is almost entirely up to you? Of course there are outside circumstances, but how you deal with them is still up to no one else but you. For example, every day I face decisions like: . 1) Read a book or watch The Notebook? 2) Go to sleep on time, or keep watching ‘Making a Murderer’ until 5 a.m.? 3) Wake up with the alarm, or snooze 100x & forsake breakfast & shower? 4) Do the dishes, or just eat off paper plates indefinitely? 5) Do laundry or just buy new underwears? 6) Get in a workout, or eat an entire pizza by myself? 7) Make time to clean, or spend all my waking hours Pinning tattoo sleeve ideas? 8) Meal prep, or become a valued customer at Papa Ginos? 9) Have a professional social media presence, or drunk-tweet my boss? 10) Make mature romantic decisions, or Snapchat an ex at 4 a.m.? 11) Keep track of my student loans, or hide the paperwork in a drawer marked “DO NOT OPEN”? . Can you relate? I used to be the dude who’d listen to Yeezus over personal developmental . Watch this, I'm about to get deep…Shakespeare said, “To be or not to be…” To become or not to become; to achieve or not to achieve; to do or not to do—the answer to that question is what will determine the future & success of each of us. . Its healthy to ask ourselves how well we're doing. Are we getting anywhere or aren't we? Are we getting by or are we doing the best we can? Are we doing what we want to do or would we like to do something else, something better? . My mentor Jim Rohn once said, “If you dont like how things are, change it! Youre not a tree." Decide to determine your destiny—& you can. The research of neuroscience has proved that what you determine for yourself, what daily decisions you make, what you give your energy to, will create or call upon a life force to turn those decisions into a touchable reality. Its the personal control of our own decisions which gives us the chance to change our futures. . Remember, you're everything you choose to be. Youre as unlimited as the universe. And so I ask, Shakespeare or SpongeBob?😂

“Even though there are days I wish I could change some things that happened in the past, theres a reason the rear view mirror is so small and the windshield is so big, where you’re headed is much more important than what you've left behind.” . As we walk into 2016, this quote reminds me - nothing in life has happened to us. It's happened for us. Every closed door, every adversity, every failure, every heartache, carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. All of which has helped shape us into who we are. And who we are is brilliantly beautiful, brimming with a blessed future bigger, better & brighter than we could ever imagine so long as we stay forward focused looking out our windshield :) (at Plymouth Beach)

**Surround Yourself With Love** . Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when you're in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through. -Karl Marx . #family #agape

Do you know what I got for Christmas? . Chunky. I got chunky cheese. And I'm not gonna sugarcoat it because I'll probably eat that too but I followed Buddy the elfs 4 main food groups: 1) Candy 2) CandyCanes 3) Candy Corn 4) Syrup My body was a temple for junk food to worship & OhMySantaaa did we have some church!! I woke up yesterday with a Christmas hangover from the pumpkin pie party & discovered my fat pants didn't fit & the 4 boxes of thin mints didn't make me thinner...something had to budge . So I went back to the basics; clean eating, healthy supplementation, & kick ass workouts. I even made a declaration for 2016... . Dear chunky cheese, Prepare to die. Xo, Me . So if you ate it, negate it...Naughty, make it nice... If you with me, let's work & we'll go from chunky to cut, together!!! #Herbalife #fitness #workout #patriots #nike #sweat #fatcrying #summer #2016 #goals #chunky #cut #joinus (at Evolution Fitness)
