Song of the Week – 4-14-09 – Embers by Just Jack

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

This video takes you through a time travel of historic world events while repeating the verse “we are all embers of the same fire.” Another way of saying, we are all one and what one person does impacts all people.

Lyrics for Embers by Just Jack

The facts and the figures,
They overwhelm and stifle,
everything that you thought you Knew

The facts and the figures,
They overwhelm and stifle,
from the very first breath you drew

The facts and the figures,
They overwhelm and stifle,
and the petty decisions that you think make a difference.

The above and following verses are layered in loops throughout the song like a mosaic until the song ends

So tiny that they blow away like dust

Through all the devilish things we do

(I can’t help my stupid hope)

We are all embers, from the same fire

How it Feels to Be Stressed Out

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009


Stressed Out by A Tribe Called Quest on YouTube.

Stress takes all the joy out of life. If you’ve got a lot of stress and it’s bogging you down, hypnosis can help. Hypnosis is about relaxing, chillin’ and creating an inner reality that helps you feel positive. When you change your inner world, the outer world changes too….or at least your perception of it does.

I’ll be doing a free hypnosis workshop in Long Beach on March 3 where you can learn more. For details and a downloadable flier, click here.

Inch by Inch – A Motivational Speech by Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

This motivational speech was delivered by Al Pacino to a fictional football team in a Hollywood movie, Any Given Sunday, directed by Oliver Stone. If you listen carefully, it’s a speech about living life to it’s fullest, giving your best and working as a team with those around you.

Here are some highlights from the speech:

We are in hell right now,
….we can fight our way
back into the light.
We can climb out of hell.
One inch, at a time.

….You know when you get old in life
things get taken from you.
That’s, that’s part of life.
But, you only learn that when you start losing stuff.

You find out that life is just a game of inches.
So is football.
Because in either game
life or football
the margin for error is so small.
I mean
one half step too late or too early
you don’t quite make it.
One half second too slow or too fast
and you don’t quite catch it.

The inches we need are everywhere around us.

They are in every break of the game
every minute, every second.

…when we add up all those inches
that’s going to make the fucking difference
between WINNING and LOSING
between LIVING and DYING.

I’ll tell you this
in any fight
it is the guy (ed. note: or gal) who is willing to die
who is going to win that inch.
And I know
if I am going to have any life anymore
it is because, I am still willing to fight, and die for that inch

because that is what LIVING is.
The six inches in front of your face.

A Change is Gonna Come – Bettye LaVette and Jon Bon Jovi at Inaugural Celebration

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

Apple iTunes

This weekend, HBO is free and the Obama Inaugural Celebration is available for all to share. Today, the We Are One Celebration commenced at the Lincoln Memorial concert stage. The day included public speaking, historical outtakes and live musical acts including Bruce Springsteen, Patti LaBelle, Will.i.am, Stevie Wonder and Garth Brooks.

My personal favorite was Bettye LaVette and Jon Bon Jovi singing A Change is Gonna Come as a duet. You can see for free here:

The duet begins about 10 minutes into the program.

LaVette commanded the stage in all her black glory. Ostrich feathers extended from her sleeves and neck line. She hit each note and delivered each word with eloquence. Jon Bon Jovi didn’t hold anything back on his end either. He dressed in tight jeans and a black leather jacket and dominated his perfomance with charm and style.

The two of them poured emotion into their music as they mirrored each other and sang the words, “It’s been a long, long, long, long time coming, but I know-oh-oh-oh Change is Gonna Come.”

The act was introduced by actor Jamie Foxx. A Change is Gonna Come was originally recorded with Otis Redding in 1964. This track is also one of 12 songs on Seal’s 2008 release, “Soul”. For more about this show and to watch videos or view pictures online, visit HBO.com.

Mr. Lif to Release “I Heard it Today”

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

Mr. Lif isn’t afraid to create an album that speaks brazenly about current political issues. He addresses the fear, paranoia, and angst resulting from the collapse of the U.S. economy. He raps about the bailout bill, self hatred in the Black community, and the housing crisis.

Lif takes these negatives and uses them as a impetus to search for a healthier way of life. He wants to use his realizations as a way to achieve freedom and peace of mind through the power of the imagination. In a true “change starts with you” move, Lif will self-release his album on his own label, Bloodbot Tactical Enterprises. Look for it on April 21, 2009. For now, you can check him out on MySpace or listen to his track Arise right here on this page.

Get Motivated, Get Creative…You’re Not Weird Afterall

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

Photo by alexconst http://flickr.com/photos/alexconst/2125940685/Once again my seemingly “random” steps off the beaten path lead me to another Internet gem.

I was searching Google, trying to find the technical literary term for when a writer lists three items in a row. I only took a semester of creative writing so I was really racking my brain. “I know there’s a name for it: “iameter” “pentameter” “diameter”…something like that.” I still haven’t figured it out.

However, a few clicks into my search I did stumble upon Mark McGuinness’ free eBook “How to Motivate Creative People (including yourself) – An eBook for leaders, managers, directors and other creative people.”

“I don’t really NEEEED to read this book”, I thought to myself. I’m not a manager and I’m not always sure if I’m creative, but it had a picture of Iggy Pop on the cover so I couldn’t resist.

I was surprised at how I was instantly immersed in this eBook. With each page I read I became more entranced and excited. If I had to put it into words, it would go something like this: “Dear God, somebody actually does understand ME! Maybe I’m not so weird afterall…I’ve just been around the wrong people.”

And that sort of is the truth.

I can tell you a gazillion stories about why I say that but here’s the bullet-point version:

…………………………………………………………………………….

* I lived in a home where getting beat up and criticized was normal
* I lived on the Hupa (Hoopa) Indian Reservation
* I was a punker
* I did not understand how oppression and freedom could co-exist
* I wasn’t strong enough to do anything about it
* I numbed out

Fast forward

Happy woman roams the fields without a care in the world* I got off heroin, I got a little self-esteem
* I was around a lot of creative people, especially musicians
* I was excited about a new life
* I want to share with people how I did what I did
* I knew if I could do it, they could do it too

Fast forward

* Move into the black hole of the educational system and the “system” in general
* Feel the life being sucked out day by day
* Lose all hope, don’t even try to speak up
* “Remember, Last time you did that, you got fired”
* Forget completely why you ever decided to do this in the first place
* Begin doing your job on auto-pilot
* Become more concerned about doing it “right”, pleasing your supervisor, putting your name on the form correctly, etc. than serving the client
* Don’t talk about yourself
* Don’t share just any old information, only the approved information in the approved way at the approved time. Afterall, you wouldn’t want to get sued

…………………………………………………………………………….

If any of this sounds familiar to you, read on because this eBook about motivating “creative people” could be great for groups of therapists and teachers to help them avoid burnout. It can help that person who got into the field to “change the world” but ended up feeling bleak and miserable, peering out from behind a mountain of papers.

A woman loves her familyIf you’re a therapist or intern, give this to your supervisor and see if he or she will actually implement some of it. Use this to validate the fact that you’re not weird or wrong, you’re just creative. You can make a difference.

I teach at a community college and I have seen these motivational techniques work in the classroom. Many of my students are self-described “hoodlums.” They admit to being in gangs, using hard drugs, being homeless, not liking white people and any other number of “tough” things. Some of them are back in school for the first time after spending decades behind bars.

At the heart of it, they show up because they want to change the world. When they talk about their plans to open a homeless shelter or help juvenile delinquents, I see a sparkle in their eyes and I want to keep that fire alive. If you are a helper, healer or teacher, you do too. I know you do. I’ve talked to you on the phone. I’ve read your e-mails. I’ve met with you face to face. Now I’m telling you, read this eBook and see if you can get “re-lit” and go on to help others “get lit” too.

From Sabotage to Success by Sheri ZampelliIf you like McGuinness’ free eBook, you might also like my book, From Sabotage to Success. It’s filled with creative and empowering projects and worksheets like how to create your own visual or audio advertisements and how to write power-packed affirmations. There are easy-to-use tools like the Create The Life You Want handout and a diagram on how to make a creative goal chart that will break down your big dreams into manageable steps.

For those of you who love labels, tradition and recognized psychological jargon, you’ll be happy to know that everything in the book is an interpretation of cognitive-behavioral, psychoanalytic and narrative theories. I just simplified the concepts and made them creative to reach a wider audience and add some fun to the process of change.

Get your own copy of From Sabotage to Success today on Amazon or ask your local book dealer to get you a copy.

P.S. One of Iggy Pop’s songs is titled Lust for Life, you can get it on iTunes.
