We each have adopted our own set of beliefs. We each have our own way of viewing life. We ALL have an "opinion." Because we ALL do, it's we ourselves who determine what's "dark" and what's "light."

Those VERY SAME factors determine what we do (or don't do) when we encounter what we believe to be dark and shadowy. They also determine how we respond or react.

That's NOT to say that the dark side isn't real in a tangibly measurable kind of way. It does no good and serves no benefit to you or humanity to ignore or pretend that dark and horrendous things aren't taking place in the world. Ignoring it, pretending it's not there or remaining oblivious to it is anything but a wise choice. Quite the contrary. The point is, we don't HAVE to enable and allow "the world" or the choices of others to determine the quality of our lives or our futures.

Put simply...We CAN be IN the world but not OF the world as the ancient text "CLEARLY" states and instructs.

As individuals we CAN become conscious and "uncommonly aware" of HOW and WHY dark things happen IN the world and what's "truly necessary" to change them. We CAN view them as the "opportunity" that they truly are and DO something to change them. We also have the "choice" to remain oblivious, fully believing that there's nothing that we can DO about it.

Once we ARE "conscious and aware", we CAN play an important and significant role in transforming the "dark" into "good."

Just as we CAN do that, we also have the ability and the power to transform the "light" into what we believe, perceive and view as "dark, shadowy and bad."

The fact is, as is VERY evident in the world, as humans, we DO that ALL the time.

It's the things that we "perceive as being "dark and bad" that ignites FEAR which binds us, blinds us, dumbs us down, limits our progress and keeps us from DOING what's necessary to transform the darkness and shadows into a more "desirable form of progress."

Although we humans LOVE progress, due to MANY factors that are unfolding in our own lives as well as the world at large, a "lack of progress" is what MANY are currently "SEEING and perceiving." What we "believe and perceive" as being real, right and true, whether it be "good or bad" is what we'll end up SEEING and experiencing.

Point being..."It's our Perceptions which create the facts as WE see them, yet our "perceptions" are VERY limited, our opinions are short sighted and they MOST CERTAINLY are NOT "definitively true."

When you hear someone say, “I’m sick and tired of it,” what they are really saying, in many cases without even realizing it, is that they’re sick and tired of suffering from their own ignorance and lack of understanding.

When we come to that realization and understand the IMPORTANCE of enhancing and expanding our "beliefs", we can learn to "consciously direct" our thoughts, feelings and emotions in a meaningful, purposeful and POSITIVE kind of way...REGARDLESS...enabling us to move beyond being sick and tired into a space of being healthy, energized and vibrant. When we "choose to DO that" consistently, we automatically intensify the light, clear the fog and become able to begin DOING things in such a way that we become able to personally SEE and EXPERIENCE what it means to "Get out of our OWN way."

When you get out of your own way, you create a "safety bubble" of sorts which protects and shields you from the "darkness" in the world. DOING so enables and empowers you to become able to DO and EXPERIENCE much more of what you love and far less of what you fear.

Getting, Being and remaining in our own way, limits our progress.

This perceived "lack of progress" is both tangible and intangible in nature. But it ALL begins at the "intangible level." More specifically, EVERYTHING that is happening in YOUR life, regardless if you see it as good or bad, right or wrong, awesome or horrific, saintly or evil, is a reflection of what you "believe and perceive."

Those factors determine the "paradigm" in which you exist within.

Fear based beliefs create shadows and darkness. Beliefs that align with Love, growth, expansion, contribution and service intensify the light.

Put in a different way, the events, conditions and circumstances experienced in YOUR life, REGARDLESS of what they might be, are a reflection of what's happening "within you."

That's what is determining, has determined and will continue to determine how you FEEL as well as the quality of the "tangible stuff" you'll see and experience during the course of your life.

That's also where a "perceived lack of progress" stems from. Although MANY "believe and perceive" that they're EXPERIENCING a "lack of progress", it's NOT a lack of progress at all, but rather a FORM of progress that doesn't align or harmonize with a "consciously desired" form of outcome.

Case in point...

• Looming financial issues are "growing and progressing."

• Ecological issues are growing and "progressing."

• War and terrorism are growing and "progressing."

The same holds true whether the EXPERIENCE is tangible or intangible.

Since MOST "humans" place all or much of their focus on acquiring more "tangible stuff", let's address that first...

One of the BIGGEST, scariest and unsettling tangible REAL WORLD issues MOST are currently experiencing, has to do with money and finances.

As humans, we have a tendency to enable and allow our financial situations to dictate and determine the quality of lives we'll lead. The anxiety and stress related to financial and security issues also fills up your stress barrel and makes it far more likely that something will eventually BREAK (health, relationships, finances, anxiety, etc.)

More specifically...a LACK OF money which stems from a widespread ignorance regarding finances.

Let's face facts...tangibly speaking, Looming Financial Issues which are Blossoming into Widespread Financial Panic are prevalent and growing around the world.

The sad fact is, most are oblivious to HOW or WHY these "looming financial issues" became "issues" in the first place. Many are also oblivious to the FACT that an effective and long term solution does exist for ALL tangible and intangible issues materially or otherwise.

The fact of the matter is, although MOST seek out various quick fixes which are temporary at best, the Real Solution that provides a long term resolution to any "problem" in life is one and the same.

Spiritually speaking this "solution" has nothing to do with money and finances. Humanly speaking it has EVERYTHING to do with it.

The Reality Check reveals that solution. It's only going to be necessary for YOU to learn, internalize and "apply it" so you can EXPERIENCE the benefits first hand.

Should you choose to read The Reality Check in it's entirety, you'll be informed, well prepared as well as enabled and empowered to DO everything that's necessary to TRANSFORM your physical, financial and relational results REGARDLESS of what the world is experiencing.

Before we get into the specifics of WHAT that entails and HOW to DO it, let's talk about you and success, however you define that, and provide the first step that will enable you to begin SEEING and EXPERIENCING the kind and quality of success that you hold dear.

It's no secret (and certainly not rocket science) that those who achieve "uncommon success" do so because they DO what's "uncommon."

They become able to DO what's "uncommon" by learning the importance of aligning the mental, emotional and physical aspects of themselves in such a way that enables "efficient and effective" ACTION to be taken.

If you ever hope to experience "greater than average" results, it's going to be necessary for YOU to do what's "uncommon" as well.

DOING what's uncommon doesn't necessarily mean DOING more in a physical exertion kind of way. The fact is, MOST are DOING plenty. The truth is MOST are DOING much more than necessary yet still aren't receiving what they hope, wish and pray their doing will provide.

The single most important thing to do is "BECOME AWARE" of what you CAN and CANNOT do. It's of VITAL importance to "control what you CAN and let go of the need to control anything else.

The sad fact is, MOST are consistently "striving" yet never arriving regardless of WHAT or HOW MUCH they do. It's ONLY BECAUSE they don't understand and/or choose to overlook the "power of BEING. MANY who have FAR MORE than you, have done and will DO much less than you do.

It's not HOW MUCH you do that's important. It's WHAT you do, WHY you do it, HOW you do it and HOW you FEEL about what you do which IS important and makes "uncommon results" possible.

Where does ALL of that begin? In your mind.

One of the MAIN things that the truly prosperous and happy DO is become aware of the fact that they can DO whatever they set their mind to. That's DEFINITELY an "uncommon belief" which leads to "uncommon forms" of confidence and assurance which in turn results in uncommon forms of ACTION.

Combine ALL of that together in a conscious, intentional and meaningful way and you RECEIVE "uncommon results."

This "uncommon form of action" only remains "uncommon" because MOST won't take the time to DO what's necessary to complete this 1st VITALLY IMPORTANT step, prior to frantically engaging in all the DOING that we've been told, taught and believe to be necessary.

When you attempt to skip the first and single most important step, the steps that follow can "seem" difficult and in many cases are perceived as being IMPOSSIBLE.

One of those steps is DOING. Based on how MOST do things, you'd think that we were "human DOERS" rather than "human beings." That's what MOST "human doers" overlook and DON'T do. They do this, do that and DO this other thing with greater intensity, yet they overlook the power of BEING.

Some do what they do frantically, hoping wishing and praying that their DOING will provide the tangible results that they WANT.

That's why so many who view themselves as "common folks" think and honestly believe that "The little guy (or gal) must struggle to survive and get by in life no matter how much they DO.

They get to be right for one simple fact. They "believe" that they must struggle and "work really hard" to "survive and get by." Because they "believe that", that's what they spend MOST of their time and energy DOING which transforms into the "tangible reality" that hard work and struggle is inevitable and that they can never get ahead in life."

Believe me when I tell you, I hear that ALL the time. The "little guy or gal can't possibly hope, let alone expect to achieve what the "Big Boys" do, can they?

The answer is YES they CAN...YOU can too...even if you DO "perceive yourself" as the "little guy" when you learn the IMPORTANCE of DOING the "right things in the RIGHT order."

What many "average folks" overlook is the FACT that 99% of the "Big Boys" started at the bottom as MOST do.

You could say that a very large percentage of the Big Boys experienced MUCH of the shadows and darkness before SEEING and finding the Light.

The fact of the matter is, in MANY cases the Big Boys have experienced ENORMOUS pain before they decided to start DOING things differently than "average folks do." More than just "deciding", the "Big Boys", who were at one time "average folks", actually followed through and DID what was necessary to achieve "Big Boy" status.

I know first hand that fear, pain and regret has a way of motivating us "humans" into ACTION. Although "perceived as bad" by most, fear and pain CAN be good...VERY good, and as has proven true time and time again, experiencing that for yourself can be quite "life changing."

It CAN that is, if you "allow it" to.

It leads many to thinking, speaking and acting in such a way that their long held dreams become a Reality rather than remain a hope, wish, WANT, or passing fancy.

It's not something that the vast majority does by any stretch of the imagination, but for those who choose to DO what's uncommon, it happens all the time.

Look, I know first hand how hard it can initially seem to DO what's "uncommon" as you go for your dreams. I know what it's like to keep trying, to deal with the inevitable roadblocks that face you, to wrestle with the doubts that surface, and how difficult it can be to stay on track when it seems as if "someone or some thing in the world out there" is conspiring against you.

On the tangible side, there are a number of people in the world out there that will do (and ARE doing) everything in their power to keep you down. Not for the sake of keeping YOU down necessarily, but rather to so they might lift themselves up.

On the intangible side...what you believe and perceive regarding these "individuals" as well as the "seemingly dark" events, conditions and circumstances that result from their "self serving choices" determines the impact and affect they have or DON'T have on you.

I also KNOW, that there's a LOT of "nonsense" out there that provides what can best be described as an "airy fairy Pollyanna approach" that provides nothing more than false hope.

Let's get REAL...

In spite of all the "so called, quick, cheap, easy and FREE solutions" out there, not the least of which is a bunch of metaphysical mumbo-jumbo NONSENSE that MILLIONS of hopers, wishers, prayers and WANTERS buy into, you're going to face adversity of one form or another before you reach whatever aspirations you aspire toward.

After many years of working with a very diverse group of folks from nearly every walk of life, I also KNOW first hand WHY so many pay such a high price and have such a difficult time reaching their hopes, dreams, desires and aspirations and often times QUIT, prior to reaching where they aspire to go.

Due the nature of the subject matter that exists throughout the site, combined with the diverse nature of us "humans", it's easy for some to get the wrong idea about what's "truly needed" to achieve extraordinary results in life.

The sad fact is, I understand WHY that happens to MANY people. It's simple. There is MUCH information "out there"...misinformation best describes MOST of it...that has MANY people DOING a number of things that are "time wasters" at best.

Others listen to rationale and logic that has them so fearful and afraid that they'll be unable to survive and get by if they don't adhere to "common logic" and the common ways of DOING things, that they never stretch, grow and exceed beyond what "common logic" says you can.

Reality check is a form of "Uncommon Logic" that, when applied. provides "uncommon results."

There are also those who explore, discover and in many cases even EXPERIENCE profound spiritual/metaphysical encounters, yet remain "seemingly stuck" in hope, wish and pray mode as it pertains to tangibly pleasing results.

Often times they even begin to enter into and remain in a "feel good" place, yet never move beyond that "intangible feel good state" so they might actually DO what's necessary to HAVE and ENJOY, in tangible and measurable form, what they "truly desire" in life.
