This past spring our great city of Seattle sponsored an event called the “Seeds of Compassion” put on by inviting the Dali Lama to share words of Wisdom and Enlightenment in a three day seminar which found 1000’s coming out to hear him wax eloquent. I stirred the ire of some friends and relatives by wondering aloud If “compassion is all we need”. I was concerned that compassion might, if not tempered by other virtues – courage, say –ill equip our children for the challenges of life.

Since then I’ve been thinking, should some high-tech billionaire offer me big bucks to stage a similar event on a needed virtue, just what would I choose? My Answer: INTEGRITY.

What is INTEGRITY? Dictionaries define it as “the state of being whole, unimpaired ,sound.”
A good analogy might be that of a Door. Some are hollow-core. When you knock on them there’s a hollow sound because there’s nothing inside. Other doors when knocked upon, sound solid because there’s something inside. The inside and outside in these doors are connected and whole. The solid sound indicates integrity ,soundness, wholeness.

People aren’t as simple as doors, and yet people who possess integrity have something solid inside. Their insides and outsides are one piece. What you see is what you get.

Today, August 7th 2008 I am afraid we are in grave danger of losing this precious virtue of Integrity. I could elaborate on many reasons I feel this is happening , but here are three of the most prevalent in today’s Society.

1.) The “Quick Fix” Mentality – Unlike the brainwash of the ‘Plug in Drug’ that tells us life’s most pressing problems can be solved in the space of a 30 minute sitcom the reality is that ‘Fixes’ in Life may take months or even years to solve. Or even as The story of ‘Humpty Dumpty’ shows us the situation may never be able to completely be put back in order again.

2.) The Image- Driven society that tells us ‘Everything is about Perception’. Or ‘Perception is Reality.’ This is another way of saying it’s not what’s on the inside ,but only what’s on the outside, that matters. Life becomes nothing more than ‘Impression Management.’

3.) Entitlement—I am afraid, in our culture today this is a biggie! This can also be synonyms to ‘the victim mentality’. In some circles today you get the moral high ground by alleging your ‘victim’ status. But this all depends on finding someone else to blame because your life isn’t as you wish. Integrity on the other hand invoves taking responsibility for yourself.

Today I have put forth what I believe to be a good argument for the search and preservation of a key virtue—Integrity.
Tomorrow we will conclude with my ‘Top 10’ Qualities of an individual who possesses Integrity

Are You one of those people who have reservations or inhibitions about saying and doing the things you REALLY want to say or do?

What's the point? I mean do you think you're going to get anywhere you truly want to if you don't LISTEN to YOURSELF?

What's your problem anyways? Are you afraid you won't be accepted? Or that people will Shun you? Hate You? Or that you'll fail?(heaven forbid!)

Listen my friend, whatever the problem is, is no big deal! So What if people look at you funny! So What if people think your screwy or nuts! So WhatIf your a lowlife, drunken loser who's never up until this point done a single lick of good for anything or anyone! So What if you fail...get up and try again!(Besides, REAL Success is really just Action on your part, you being true to yourself and doing what You Feel is Right!)

You see, what I really mean to say is, what's the big damn deal anyways?...If your a freak...or if you don't know where to start...or if your ugly...or misunderstood...or if you don't like what someone else has to say(for crying out loud, they're just words!)...or if someone doesn't agree with you(we don't have to all agree and be exactly the same, you know )...or if you can't stand that person over there...or if every part of your life up until now has been a total lie...or if you think this is all BS...or if you have ever been wrong about anything(how else do you learn?)? SO WHAT!

What else do I need say? Get out there and DO SOMETHING already!

Bushman Out!

P.S. People are eff'en great!

If Your going to get anywhere in business or Life, at some point you have to decide just what the hell you and your business is all about, and JUST DO IT!

I saw Kung Fu Panda with my granddaughter and it really had some great moral insight. As a follower and believer of the Law of Attraction I had several connections with quotes sprinkled throughout the movie.

The basic point of the movie was a noodle selling Panda who wanted to be a Kung Fu Master. He dreamed about it, imagined it, yet did not 'believe' in himself as a fat, clumsy bear.

Within the movie is a 'Dragon Scroll' with the secrets to all powers and a 'secret ingredent' in a noodle recipe... You soon realize both are one in the same being 'nothing, everything and self'. Just 'The Secret' and other Law of Attraction books, movies share... It is nothing external, it is YOU.

I do NOT think that belief in the self is over-rated at all because I have worked with hundreds of people and every single one of them who had doubts, in them selves, have failed.

Those who believed they could do it, were successful.

The only ones who say it's over-rated are those whom have not conceptualized the reality of believing in the self. They are the ones who ask but don't receive because they cannot 100% 'believe'.

The key is realizing there is no actual 'secret' and that we all have the same tools for success. The only thing that can stop YOU from success is YOU. Which is exactly what the movie focuses on. Mind over matter you can become whatever you want to be by believing in yourself.

The wise turtle in the movie had many great thoughts one of them my favorite... "Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery, today is a gift - that's why they call it the present'.

Don't dwell in the past. Don't worry about the future. DO for TODAY and yes, Yes, YES - BELIEVE in YOURSELF because if you don't who else will?

I don't really read the Daily Rag (Thats newspaper for all you non-newspaper types) much anymore these days(I just feel it to be a waste of my precious time & it usually is a 'downer' anyway).But I just could not resist the article on the Front page when I opened our local paper this morning.

WOW!!Here was the sad story of a 51 year young woman who had risen to the heights of a prestigous & well-paying career as a Commercial Pilot. She had climbed (& it seemed scratched) her way to the top of a profession dominated & favored towards men. Rosemary seemed to have it all,,,100K income, Water-Front Home, A gig (flying) doing what she was PASSIONATE about ( as explained when she 'found' flying in her 20's), A couple fancy Vehicles,& plenty of money in the bank. Yet sadly her life came 'crashing down out of the friendly skies.'

The bullet points at the top of the article really caught my eye!

** Lost Her House
** Lost Her job
** Slept In Homeless Shelters
** Dead at age 51

As I began to read through the article and learn of her rise to Significance and then sad spiral that led to her eventually being run over by a train as she appeared to have been sleeping on the tracks in a drunken stupor, I could not help but wonder "Just what the He** Happened!!" I know the simple answer was she had become an Alcoholic as well as Meth addict and could no longer help herself or even be helped by friends and loved ones and at first gradually but then quite swiftly she lost everything she had worked so hard to achieve over 20+ years.

I was actually angry about Rosemary's plight & found myself more than once muttering to myself 'How Could You Throw It all away!"..."Why in God's Name, didn't you get any Help" As I read on I found myself wishing I could have been there & met Rosemary, & spoken to her ...and SHAKEN some sense into her!Perhaps I could have been a difference- maker for her!

Yet, sadly in the end I know The TRUTH. The Fact is no matter how much her Mother, Brother, friends or associates wanted Peace, Joy & true Fulfillment for Rosemary they could never make it happen for her!Only Rosemary could determine and then CHOOSE/NOT CHOOSE to live a Fulfilling life for herself---It was her choice alone,no one else could do or make it for her (Not even GOD!)

The same is true for each of us. We must all define Our own Passion(s) & ideas for success in Life, then pursue it, tightly grasp it(& determine to NEVER LET IT GO!!). We must acknowledge our own vices & weaknesses that would seek to take us down & NEVER allow our ego to stand in the way of seeking out help when we may need it so we can continue on our journey to abundance.

This has been a sobering story for me. It shows me both how POWERFUL I can be & yet How frail I can also be at times.It also is a 'wake-up Call' for me letting me know I alone am ACCOUNTABLE for the life I CHOOSE to pursue and Live.

Perhaps one moral of Rosemarys' story is to realize "But, for the Grace of God, There goes I".I pray that God gives us each Strength and courage to Live a Life of Meaning and Purpose that we choose.

You may recall the last time I posted here I began to share about "The Number One Law of Attraction" or what some may call The Number One Law of BEING",,,that is, "To Become a LAW unto Yourself" (ie...see Bono, Jagger, Stalone,Oprah,,,,)You get the Picture?

Each one of us were created by the infinite Creator with this kind of CAPACITY, yet sadly few develop this skill, or mind-set. As Ralph Waldo Emerson has said " Most Men live lives of quiet desperation".

I am here today to DECLARE to the world that YOU & I Can BE ALL THAT WE WERE MEANT TO BE!!!!!!The only one who can stop you, is YOU! As I recorded last time folks who have mastered this 'skill-set' have an intensified Personality,,,they have a 'Can-DO!" Mind-set, They WILL NOT be denied!

So with the above in mind today we will discuss a vital 'subset' quality to this Number One Law of Being and that I have called "Unleashing Yourself". As I get into this topic , for me the example of my Frisky,unabashed 3 year-old Mini-Schnauzer getting 'LOOSE' from his leash comes to mind. I can picture 'Tyson' getting loose (as he has done many times before) running about the neighborhood jumping up on folks, crying for joy around folks, Wagging his tail in sheer doggie joy and ecstasy of wanting to show love as well as be loved(of course not all folks are accepting of this overwhelming display of affection!) . From that example I believe you can grasp the essence of "UNLEASHING".

Basically, 'Unleashing Yourself Upon the World" is YOU being committed (no matter What others say or the circumstanes in your current Life) TO BEING YOUR OWN PERSON! (Period over & Out!!!) . Just as my Doggie(Tyson) is sold -out on the idea that EVERYONE would love him, these folks (again see Winfrey, Bono etc,,,etc,,,)are sold-out on their OWN SELF-LOVE! and therefore(See 'Tyson' story)they PRESS their own INDIVIDUALITY into all mankind.

This attribute is much bigger than just being yourself. It is an ACTIVE FORCE through which you MULTIPLY your 'I AM' into others so that they in turn are inspired as well. People who have aquired this unique ability have attained Power & Influence(See 'Obama').

These are folks who have FIRST FOCUSED upon THEMSELVES. It is interesting to me to note here many of us have been taught the opposite of this(that is to LOVE others 1st) & yet Jesus Himself said "Love Your Neighbor as Yourself"(Mark 12:31). In other words I can be of no service or use to others unless & until I have "LOVED MYSELF FIRST!" From this 'Self-Focus' can then flow an INDIVIDUALITY & Servitude that will make the common man turn his head in wonder & awe and take notice.

I have 'waxed on' far too long today! I will leave you to ponder this 'message' & encourage you to give yourself permission to "LET YOURSELF GO,,,Become UNLEASHED upon the World around you!" and you will have made it a better place.

Next time around I will give you some specific ideas for 'UNLEASHING'

God Bless You!

I admit, I've sort of been M.I.A. lately. For those of you who ARE reading this, unless I or someone else refered you here your probably wondering who the heck this guy is anyways or could care less

For now I'm just gonna say I'm some guy who loves his family and the outdoors too much to spend all his time looking into a silly computer screen. That being said, look for more on just who the REAL PEOPLE Behind cREATive MarKEters are and what we are about in the very near future(*hint - Real People who openly admit to possessing creative talents and PASSION ABOUT LIFE, willing to share of their own experience and offer their gut-wrenching opinions on any given subject at any given time with no strings attached!)

Seeings as you are still reading this(ha ha...caught you), I'd like to just take a moment and ask you to leave YOUR feedback/comments on this post. This really helps us more than you can imagine, so even if you stumbled here by accident, like what you see, hate what you see...or whatever, TELL US. And Why!(Thanks in advance, all feedback is really appreciated!)

On a final note, I realize some of the content here is a little over the top...your probably wondering if this goofball is for real or what(you really gotta watch them MarKEters you know ). Well, I guess the simplest way to put it....is if I can't enjoy the work I CHOOSE to do, my ventures would be utterly pointless. In other words I have a MIND(or lack thereof..LOL!) which I CHOOSE TO USE...

Thanks and have a FRIGGIN AWESOME week! Till next time, Bushman Out.

THE SKY'S THE LIMIT

Have you ever given thought to the phrase, “the sky's the limit!”? Honestly, I never had until this morning. On my daily walk with my dog I speak with my Infinite partner, the Universal Source ( or God). He truly directs my paths and instructs me daily on how I should run His business through my life. Today he spoke to me “ the sky's the limit”. I took it, digested it, and basked in it's revelation. The sky is so much like God in His spiritual form .....

LIMITLESS!!

Have you ever physically touched the sky? Does anyone know where the sky begins or ends? My success, my finances, and my life are limitless. If I were to stack my many successes, my abundance, and my blessings to reach the top of the sky I would be stacking for Eternity. These assets in my Life are limitless!

Sky does not stop for obstacles that are more tangible than itself ( planes, birds, stars, planets) and neither shall I. As the sky recognizes obstacles, it is enhanced by them ( the sky is most beautiful with clouds, birds, planets, stars). My life is the same. My success is enhanced with every obstacle because I live above the “horizon”. I learn from obstacles instead of casting blame on the easiest target ( usually myself). My revelation “the sky's the limit” increases momentum in my life and in the talents which I have been given.

Next time you are “stuck”, remember the sky's the limit. It works both ways. You decide today if you want a bright beautiful sky or a stormy gloomy sky.

What's your forecast today? Mine's a limitless sky!!
