For those of you who have enjoyed ‘The Secret’, the second installment is on it’s way… And you’ll never guess who is in it!

CASEY COMBDEN

Casey is one of the most unique people you will EVER meet in your life. I have had the pleasure of experiencing his talks on a regular basis, and after 5 minutes with Casey, you don’t look at the world the same… Ever again…

This is MASSIVE news for Casey and I’m so excited for him!

Damn, that just made my day! :)

High performance is by design.

Made in Italy: Ignites Passion and Emotion

High performance is by design, not by accident. It requires that you:

  1. Vote for yourself –- know what you want and what you need and then go get it. Be confident in your skill even when you are tempted not to like what you see. We’re all kind of funny seen from the inside out.
  2. Unleash your passion –- don’t let things you don’t know or don’t understand get in the way: learn them, join them. “But each time I seemed to be climbing into a roller coaster and finding myself coming through the downhill run with that sort of dazed feeling that we all know.” (Enzo Ferrari)
  3. Listen with one ear and forget with the other –- you are in the driver seat, you decide what makes sense keeping.
  4. Stay soft on the people, including yourself –- on your way anywhere, you will meet mates and you’ll meet the other kind. To some people you’ll be but a blip on their radar, to some you’ll be a source of great inspiration. Know the difference, you are accountable for it. Remain human, don’t keep score, it bogs you down.
  5. Develop stamina –- think of yourself as a marathon runner. Don’t look at the time, build on the distance. “Aerodynamics are for people who can’t build engines.” (Enzo Ferrari)
  6. Take risks –- invest in your vision, explore the opportunities. When you go for safety, you shop at that price. “As bend followed bend, I discovered his secret. Nuvolari entered the bend somewhat earlier than my driver’s instinct would have told me to.” (Enzo Ferrari)
  7. Design your context –- chisel away all the marble and what you have is the masterpiece. Edit down as appropriate, sculpt your experience, you decide.
  8. Have a “to be” list –- be interested, adaptable, and open to new ideas, including yours. Many call this attitude, I call it spirit (Lat. spiritus = breath).
  9. Stage and experience –- and you will learn something new every time. This is not rehearsal, it’s the real deal. Go at it with gusto and panache. The verb perform is built into performance.
  10. Be very clear that you will succeed –- and you will.

What a fantastic post! I’ll just let it speak for itself.

Litany Of Fear

// January 12th, 2007 // No Comments » // Brain Dump, Dreams & Goals

Litany of Fear

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see it’s path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

– The Bene Gesserit Litany of Fear, from the novel Dune by Frank Herbert

gizmag Article: World’s First Full HD 1920x1080i Consumer Camcorder:

World’s First Full HD 1920x1080i Consumer Camcorder
from Cameras and Imaging (221 articles)
January 8, 2007Due on shelves in April, JVC’s new HD Everio GZ-HD7 camcorder is the first to offer full HD 1920x1080i video quality combined with hard drive recording.

THIS is exciting news! It’s now just a matter of time before everyone jumps into the HD consumer camcorder arena and the prices begin to drop. So very exciting!

I think I could have a bit of fun with this in an underwater housing exploring some wrecks beyond the 120′ mark at Bikini Atoll.

I have a dream…

// December 1st, 2006 // No Comments » // Brain Dump, Dreams & Goals

I have a dream; it is bigger than I ever thought possible. It is bigger than my fears, my limitations, and my doubts. Because I have this dream, it will manifest itself in my life in unexpected ways.

To others it will seem that I have been struck with luck and good fortune… Because I have a dream I will know the truth and will know that it is even possible for those who only believe in luck.
