so, i have been out here in the South for a couple months now and i have got a ton ideas that i have been living to share. it will go public after may. stay tuned. ;p
before i get to that though, i wanted to write a short note about what it means to study LIFE or OneLifeToLive (and all its LIVE Productions: ceLIVErity, LYD, reaLIVEty, IRD, WEALTHventurity, WELLNESSentials, IM’IJ, etc AND the topics and whatnot i love talking and teaching about).
i teach what i teach primarily out of my own interest in the topic.
when i write, i do not consider whether or not the “masses” will like it or even if they will fully understand it (although i do my best to break things down comprehensively).
primarily, my main goal is to congele and crystalize the ideas i am working on to “live more free, live more real, live more me” in my own head — because when i express myself in writing it makes the ideas *real* for me.
now as a result of this, what you learn from me and all my LIVE Productions tend to be authentic and raw and different.
the core difference between my personal ministry and probably most other self-development companies and church/religious ministries out there is that literally nothing that comes out of OLTL is for the purpose of “creating product” — but rather, it is the byproduct of my own interest in developing *myself*.
i do this for my own interest, and then pass the info along to you.
if you have gravitated towards OLTL [or any of my LIVE Productions] (and many people do not — but if you have) then that is probably the reason why.
at the same time, you also have to be aware of what this means.
i constantly like to cover new ground (new revelations, current journeys) — and that means “pros” and “cons”.
most self-development gurus rely on a steady flood of newbies and will regurgitate the same basic “marketable message” over and over — because newbies pay $$ whereas oldsters usually think too highly of themselves to seek out external advice.
now before you jump to criticize this, be aware that ANY organization’s survival relies on CASHFLOW which means that you have to market yourself effectively.
so, do not be a hater.
in my case, however, i am very blessed and graced to be in a situation where i do not need to rely on that because OLTL and every LIVE Productions is a relevant enough company that i can get away with it.
personally, i will RARELY go back over previous ground i have already thoroughly covered, for the purpose of getting more newbies on the OLTL bandwagon.
i just CANNOT do this.
it is too boring for me.
maybe i will do it once in a while, here and there, like in a presentation to a room who does not know much about what i am teaching and inviting people to.
but for the most part, when i am sitting there regurgitating the SAME OLD MATERIAL, i feel my chest constricting like my life is going “tick tick tick” and i am losing important time i could be using towards a creative legacy.
(even with the events and workshops and sessions, i usually teach a 30% skeleton of foundational material and then about 70% new material that i will customize to the individual).
now as a result of this, the people who are “celiverities” and “different” and “remnants” benefit and the newbies inevitably get befuddled.
if you have been with me for at least more than a year, or been through OLTL stuff and realities, you are probably very psyched that i am not rehashing the “same old thing” over and over.
at the same time, if you are a newbie whose sole source of info is OLTL, then you might be a bit confused.
for example, all this “NEW OLTL Heart&Soul” stuff might cause you to believe that you can IGNORE the [SOUL] “outer game” of life entirely because i emphasize that the [HEART] is the utmost important OR you may think that the [HEART] issues are really not essential to life, because i speak about the [SOUL] being your sattelite center to your life to the degree of you getting the results.
and see, even though it is NOT my responsibility to hold the entire church kingdom or different cultures or business world by the hand and remind everyone constantly “go back and look at the foundational back-to-the-basics” — i will acknowledge that i have a level of influence in setting the trends and standard.
so, i am saying right here, just because i do not speak or teach or write as much about something on a specific topic, it does not mean that the older topics are no longer still important.
educate yourself.
you will be the better for it.
you cannot please everybody in life.
(you were never meant to.)
i am evolving and transforming.
and i hope you are too.
