Now I also had one other realization. I had lost touch with my dream from Drenalin. So my so that when I think of it I can just hear the responsed and the thoughts of other people who have never really experience what had been my dream.
And those comments of other people became my belief and now I see it is my reality with its Anniversary just a few days away.
I now know that I need to be convicted again. As in 2nd February 2003 when my life was forever changed.
Now my greater understanding will allow me to move forward.

One love!

Drenalin is a dream
A perception of a reality that exists in the mind
A source of ENERGY and STRENGTH
Bounded only by the thoughts created in the mind


It is a Dream

Now this developing sense of hope
Sparks the adrenaline flow,
Arousing the senses
Stimulating the mind and
Creating a surge that is
THE ULTIMATE DRENALIN EXPERIENCE

I have heard about this law alot in recent times.
Especially via the DVD 'The Secret' that seemed to strike accord in so many of us some just think its hogwash.
For those of us that it connected with it we either knew about it and used it just thought of it as positive thinking... Or some of us thought it was possible but were always too doubtful to try it and was just glad for some validation that The Secert works.

Its been hitting me over the last few days that I am certianly a larger believer in the law of attraction expecting that all the opportunities that I need will appear and I will recognise them and embrace them with open arms. Even those opportunities I am not conscious of at the point in time, I will be attracted to make the right decision.
I am feeling good in these days and my spiritual journey is certainly well.
My consciousness moves outside of my body and I can feel it and its bringing to me all the experiences that I need and request.
At the basis of it - I just made a decision to feel good. And I continue to make that decision day by day and I am realise its easy to feel good! Its easy to feel good !

It only hit me today that I am looking to create a monster. As I take myself through the daily paces of improving aiming at being better at the thing I do.

Its much like the preparation of a soldier, seeing challenges and not just getting over them but looking to leap over them in a special way.

Its for me to learn the lessons and keep willing to go forward and create a monster that is really the shread all the challenges I can possibly face in life.
It really brings back my perspective on what this Corey Graham 2.0 is all about.

Being to Trinidad I realise how much my influence can build over time.
As I move forward with the passion and will of a monster I wil create something phenomenal.

Corey Graham 2.0 who is integrated and connected to life.

I recentlly took a trip to Trinidad and I found that just a simple break in routine changed a few things of my thoughts and actions and allowed me to explore and realise deep things within myself.
I just thought to myself I am going to need to break the routine more often.
I mean so routines we know are good for you like exercising, eating meals and sleep. But stopping to take a step back is very important.

For me it helped me to realise how I have been allowing myself to think that I won't have a lot of money. Its a thought that I guess I have been thinking for so long that now its like I just believe it I don't question it. I just do it.

This is not very cool at all and I am planning to change this thinking in a serious way.

I am going to just accept that I can have a lot of money and enjoy a financially free life having time on my hands to explore new and interesting things and expressing myself.

Well to start at the beginning nearing the end of 2007 I looked at my goals, and I realised the only goal I would have failed in was getting exercise.
Then next thing I know a friend of mine is inviting me to practice for with his basketball team.
I was so worried about being unfit, it not working it into my schedule etc etc. Fear was taking me, after all I didn't play in 2 years!!
But I went... I just decided to commit to it.
I was sooo unfit, löl it was terrible. I was dead after the warm up jog around the court!
Lol yeah it was terrible. But somehow I managed through. The players though, were telling me that I still look good for a guy who didn't play basketball in 2 years!!

I should state that I never met someone who was more disciplined that me and focused that I was about basketball.
I put in the hours. You can ask my friends too, every analogy I could come up with was ALWAYS basketball. Lol.
Actually I think I pushed myself so much that I lost my love basketball. And I guess I allowed the forces around me to tell me it was not a priority in my life.

But tonite after going to practice let me tell you really enjoyed the heavy breathing the fatigue, even more.
I also found the coach to be very knowledgeable about the game and also the players passionate to play.
One guy asked the coach if he is seeing an improvement in his game! Did I play better today coach?
Man and I thought wow, guys coming out to just play basketball because they love it. The coach coaching because they love it.
For all the complex things in life and my days of worrying and wondering about the future.
It was really a sweet relief to be in this environment we all laughed and had fun playing ball.
There was a clear line of command too with the coach and captain.
It was just wonderful, to I guess be a part of a team, practicing and training to a simple and common goal.
You were told how to improve. I guess maybe it means I need to seek mentors in a serious way for the other parts of my life.
But once again being on a basketball court is really a feeling of relief, and freedom from the complexities of life.
I get really convicted about being on a team and I want to be able to build good strong teams in my life. I want to play my position whatever that is and do what is good for a team.
That's me.
I know that I want to build teams to make things happen.

Hmmm that I what I loved about 300, there was a lot of things in 300 but that core team spirit of Spartans was

Now I know that.

I have been excited for 2008 to start I wanted it to signal the launch of CG 2.0 - Corey Graham in a new more ingested version. Living within my environment in harmony.
One of my key aims with this new level was to make sure I take the time to plan more and to be proactive.
And I was getting all excited about the feeling of having life all planned out and going thru the days like a breeze because all the work is on time etc.
And you know I woke up the first day in 2008 with a cold, annoying the hell out of me, I could barely get the planning I wanted done to get the first week in 2008 going well.

I just rested in hope that it will go away, but it lingered into the next day....

But as I woke on the first morning of 2008 I felt this overpowering need to be disciplined. To stop dreaming of things as harder than they actually are. To stop playing up this cold as it would overpower me. To not throw my hands in the air saying I am doomed for the rest of 2008.
Instead I got up, and slowly too time to get myself up to speed on what was going on and how I was feeling.

A few things crossed my mind
My mentor (I call him this because his words have had a profound affect on who I am today)-
John C Maxwell in essence said the road is not going to be nice and tidy, its going to be a bit messy, things are not going to be perfect, but it is going to be sticking to the path that is important.
Nose running-

300 - The movie
I could not get this movie out my head. The whole concept of what it take to be called a Spartan. Here is the part that grabbed me.
"manufactured by 400 years of Spartan warrior society"

Look what it said "MANUFACTURED by 400 years of Spartan warrior society"

This is no training camp this shit is live and its happened, its happening now and it can happen.

Yeah I certainly heard that call.

And then how the movie ends drawing the parallel between and 8 year old boy standing up to a wolf and killing it.
To a Spartan King standing up to a tyrant and dying in battle.

Then I stopped and I became thankful for a same cold to prepare me for a bigger situation.
A confidence I feel now. Fear too, yes.
But ask a Spartan fear is always present but you do not have to accept it.

Over hearing Christmas messages on the TV on after another, the idea dawned on me to create a Christmas Message of my own.

"I don't feel like things come into my head to die there." K. Rich.

Disclaimer : this is no act of making myself greater that I really am. Its just my message. Maybe you should think about what your message is.

We have lived to see Christmas 2007, which has a special meaning to all of us. Every year we seem to argue
And debate what Christmas really if to us, what should we do. How will we spend the day? Should we be kind for others. I cannot answer these questions for you. I will not make decisions for you and how you spend your Christmas. That's your call. If you haven't made a single strong and confident desicion all year, make one now.
In talking to those who I find myself in close quarters with they simply decided to enjoy Christmas. That's it nothing more. No details, no Wishlist. The decision was simple just enjoy Christmas for what it is. The opportunity to make 'an excuse' to spend time with family you haven't stayed in contact with, enjoy our very human interactions on this day.
Also take some time to strip down from the armour you wear daily to rest a while and enjoy the day.

I would tell you today, look at Christmas from another perspective, forget of all the demands, the social pressures and give yourself the gift of thinking. Control your thoughts all yourself to think.

My gift to myself this morning was an idea. It was obvious but I only just realised it!
Over the past few days I have realised that I am a much much more focused person than I was 2 years ago esp. in terms of focusing my energy and time into a goal I want to accomplish. Its only now occuring to me I can make it a little more deliberate and make a budget for how much of my money I want to INVEST into my goals. I am excited to try that out! I can't wait to see what happens next. I have been talking better care of my money, listening to Rich Dad, Poor Dad and reading 'Generation Debt'.

So that is my gift to myself. I can't value it yet. Maybe in a few years it will be worth millions, and I will have a best selling book. What a Christmas 2007 would have been.

So I say to you again look for a new perspective, write your Christmas Message and decide how you will feel.

Merry Christmas to you!

Are you ready to defend you latest resolution?

Yes yes, we all feel great when we make a new resolution, had some big realisation. We get truly excited and we tell the world, we tell everyone about how wonderful life truly is. We are thankful to be alive.

I know this feeling quite well, in fact I just love that feeling. I enjoy it totally! You can check out my post on CG 2.0. You will see all the passion and excitement in that post!

If it is one thing I have learnt and most certainly today it was apparent, is that we will meet with resistance.
Even if we are all fired up to make the next play or stand you ground in a arguement. There will be something that will cause you to question, cause you to wonder about your resolution. That happened to me today. One of my friends told me she didn't quite associate with all the things in my Blog and initially it really impacted me. For she is a great fan of my Blog and has mentioned many and encouraging word.
They were hard words to shallow, but then I realised that there will not be absolute agreement with everything I say. In some cases it might just take a few days or years to really appreciate some experiences that I might have blogged about. Wow so simple and rational!
But it still sent me off the edge feeling a little emotional because of my attachment with this Blog.
It made me think and realise how ready and at the same time unprepared to justify this blogs significance to me and my spirit.
Something to think about for sure.


What about you are you ready to justify the significance of your work, your life plan and your daily thoughts?

Are you ready?

They say don't keep things in your head because you will just find yourself stressed out.

I have been feeling stressed these last weeks and I want to make an admission to you.

Being Strong
Now I have always been passionate about helping people and one of my things has always been to be in a place where is am able to be strong enough to help my people when they are in need.
I guess a lot of this tended to be more the emotional challenges the plague us all. I don't want to be necessarily the next Dr. Phil or anything. But I want to be able to help out when it is asked of me.
I hated when I would be paralysed and become stiff when people would be going thru rough times and want to lean on me. I was not sure what to do, what to say.
When all they really needed was that key piece of wisdom at the right time and the right place to cause all the difference!
Well I have improved greatly on myself and I am now less inclined to become stiff when someone needs a listening ear and or a key piece of wisdom to set them on a path for them to discover the answer they are seeking.
Over the last few days, there have been a few people who needed a listening ear or some key piece of wisdom or even just their thoughts re affirmed.....

Fear Falling From Grace
Well I was having some challenges of my own, things had been changing I started asking myself if I was good enough to get what I needed to do done?
Was I in over my head in my responsibilities?

And with some others around me having some major events happening in their lives and verbalizing them to me. I began to ask myself the one question that has been the source of a fear that has stunted my growth previously. It has been one of the main questions that I have pondered on since I was 10 years old.
That question was
...are the walls caving in? Am I falling from Grace? Falling down from my position on the mountain top?

And you know its a hell of a question to ask yourself. It blurs your reality so fast your bearings begin erode! You find yourself a bit direction less and beyond that you wondered if you were ever on the right track at all. Everything becomes fuzzy!
For me it became hard to be positive, it was harder to control emotions, harder to make decisions, harder to be positive. Harder to be have a steady hand even in dealing with the simplist things. You even forget you even had goals. Bad habit start to form...

But I had to stop to say no to it all!
No there is not a right way. There is not one particular path.

'Life is a journey, just enjoy each stage' captures the sense of wisdom shared by Karen L Richardson (as she celebrated 2 years on radio and launched a blog)

We have all heard this before in some form or fashion ... but this time it really hit me. Its not even a journey to a destination then you stop and say ahhhh i made. Not A particular point you have to stop at. Its just a journey like Around the world in 80 days when the journey itself is the whole point!

So there is no fall from grace, there is just another step which you choose. Its not like the last step, its just a new step.

The next step, will bring new realities. The question is - Are you going to step down or step up? Corey Graham 2.0
