I’ve been a little hard on the Tweeters who quote other people rather than going deep and having something quotable fall from their mouth. So why not come on a brief Re-Tweet with me and look at a few of my best Tweets?:

The weakest link in most forms of PD is the lack of implementation.  Being Awake IS implementation.

How does it feel to know that everything that has ever happened is what SHOULD have happened, because it DID happen? Reality says so.

Transformational Speaking, is mostly about the speaker. The Transformational Speaker, is ALL about the audience.

Life is a magical display, an amusement park, a living lab — IF you have the eyes to see. Have you had your eyes checked lately?

Most quotes on Twitter are like hand-me-down clothes – outdated, unoriginal, old and smelly!

I’m wondering why everyone quotes other people, rather than saying something quotable. In other words, go DEEP and speak from that place.

A Caring Professional uses their livelihood to learn how to open their heart to the world. Are you one?

Chasing a mirage of cool-aide instead of a mirage of water, still leaves you dead of thirst.

The truth of ‘your’ existence is the truth OF existence. Remove ‘you’, to remove what keeps you in a state of suspended foolishness.

Considering how, of the virtues of faith, hope, and charity, faith is the most childish and least evolved.

Did you know that your life is the size of your awareness?

There are only a few things we can say about life with any real certainty. What do you know for sure?

Wondering if you have ’self-knowledge’, or the understanding of how your body/mind is patterned?

You will very seldom have a thought that is anywhere nearly as profound as the silence it springs from. If you do, it just HAPPENED to you.

Most approaches to personal development are heavy on the personal and absent on the development. Validation does NOT equal growth.

Considering how the silent mind is the reflective mind, seeing without embellishing, watching the naked moment display itself, unadorned.

The fact that ‘Affirmations’ are seen to be so valuable in our society, just makes me sad…

Resting in the understanding that incessant yearning for what ISN’T, cripples our ability to contentedly be with what IS.

Affirmations and positive self talk is for children and sleeping adults… No kidding!

I’m thinking that if I wasn’t me I’d wanna know me because I’m into the coolest stuff EVER!

Until you can you can’t!

Emotional reactivity happens when we are asleep, eyes wide open!

Maturity is the ability to contain experience long enough to determine if it’s wise to share it. Being awake is the key to maturity.

Handcuffed and procrastinating, neck deep in organizational and time management books, finally, I let myself drowwwnnnnn……

Contemplating the fact that a life dependent on materialism and externals for happiness is unstable. Happiness without condition? You bet!

Hey money grubbers! Have you ever heard of the idea of living with an open heart?

If you believe the thinking mind is where creativity comes from, maybe it’s time I told ya the truth about Santa Clause too

72 hours of balls out creativity and productivity, done with an empty mind and an open heart. Keeping perspective is KEY.

Juggling chainsaws, glass balls, rubber widgets, and puppy dogs is easier when there is ALMOST too much at stake, and too much to do

I’m considering how I can explain the idea that we all live with closed hearts and busy minds, a product of our less than ideal upbringing.

Awake is a term I use to describe the capacity to remain energetically connected to your experience, moment by moment, without drifting off or getting lost in thought.

You are aware of what is going on inside of you (thoughts, emotions, sensations) as well as what is going on around you (stimuli, input, movement).

There is a heightened sense of aliveness because you are the center-point of your life, and you are aware that your life is dancing and shimmering and fading before your very eyes.

As you read these words, are you also aware you are alive? Can you feel your aliveness? Are you breathing? Are you relaxed? Is your heart open?

Are you aware that you are the living, breathing – still-point – around which your life turns?
