PART 1_________________________________________
The Significant L.I.P. - Examination
Consultation














Introduction_________________________________

Growing up my dream was to become a professional football player. I did not care to
entertain any other profession. I played pop warner and high school football with even a few
weeks of college football tryouts beneath my shoulder pads. While attempting to make the
team as a walk on, a turn of events was just around the corner. My life was to be forever
changed. A dream would not be deferred but rather crunched to bits like a size twelve boot on
a beefy cockroach. That crunching noise would resemble a new ankle experience after going for
a silly rebound playing basketball.
In a minute an eight year dream was over! I wonder why I gave up like a wimp. I
experienced greater pain before that injury. I remember thinking I was hit by a Mac-truck at
night with its headlights off during a kickoff return. Other days helmet to helmet contact was
the method of choice to intimidate my opponents. The NFL Players Associations Brain Injury
committee would have much to say about my vicious practices. Despite every play from
scrimmage I was involved in, I reasoned my career was over.
Was it forces beyond my control that aided in shattering my dream? I think so. Maybe
there was a greater plan for my life that I was not made aware of. I am confident now to answer
that question. There was a more rewarding plan for my life! The plan started precipitously after I
became another college dropout. The plan featured a high voltage of pain zapped from the
heavens below. The plan was frequently misunderstood until nine years later. I had discovered
my purpose, rather one of them! It still took another few months of nail biting (the white
somehow became red) to narrow down to one focus that would bring the most satisfaction.
What about you? Are you feeling lost, not as a sheep without a shepherd. Rather do you
feel lost in the daily routines of life? Maybe you have not had time to really contemplate on what
your passions are. Or you know what your passions are but have not built the bridge to connect
them to an occupation. An occupation needs to compliment your passions and talents so you can
reach your greatest potential. I struggled with the first step in finding my true passions. Turn on
the television and you will begin to see why. When your eyeballs are fixed daily in other


peoples world it is a real test to discover yours. The splendid news is that time does not exist in
my new world. Time should not exist in yours as well. The concept of time is often a crutch for
slothful behavior.
The reason we feel like we can cruise in life is our arrogance in believing we have all the
TIME in the world. The reason we feel like we can give up on our dreams is our pity in
determining TIME is not on our side. Of course this cloud carries more water the older we get.
Reshaping your life in purpose is a continuous process. There is pain and pleasure. The
rewards work like the lottery multiplier. The pain is in handing over the few measly bucks. Win
even a nominal amount and the multiplier will teach you the principle of giving a little extra to
get an enormous return. The difference between the lottery and life is that everyone can win the
latter.
Are you frustrated with life because you lack the feeling of significance? Are losing and
negativity your only results? This manual is your compass. Let it direct you to your greatest
resources, which are within. I think of it as a sand castle. Just as sand cannot be shaped without
water, you are in need of an element to reshape your life in purpose. This book and its concepts
are your element. I have begun a while back on my journey as have many others. It is your turn
now! Similar to the excitement of seeing your sand castle on the beach come together, you will
experience a new zeal for life as you begin to see the areas of your life that are given form by
your powerful hands.
The methods of reshaping your life in the following chapters is liken to the procedure of
undergoing a surgical operation. The result of both is intended to be happiness. As you read the
introductions and parts I want you to visualize the process. Michael Jordan considered by many
as the greatest basketball player of all time, has a sentence or two to say regarding visualization.
It should be of some benefit.
"I visualized where I wanted to be, what kind of player I wanted to become. I knew exactly where
I wanted to go, and I focused on getting there."

PART 1 SCENE
You and I are in an office, my office to be more precise. It is no bigger than the size of your
average bedroom: twelve by twelve foot. Floor to ceiling windows and the time is around noon.
The blinds are raised and the sun rays could easily boil a refrigerated jumbo egg. Its having the
same effect on you as getting tanned on the beach; relaxing. You are immersed in a white
diamond shag sofa. Jazz is playing on my iPod. This is an informational session today. You
expressed your interest in reshaping your L.I.P. In two minutes I will explain the functions of the
lip and how they relate to the reshaping of your L.I.P. You have not blinked yet so I snap my
fingers to see if you are sleeping with your eyes open or are you just focused on what we are


about to engage in. You smile and say you are very interested in hearing what I have to say. We
now proceed.

Food Intake-What You Put in
Is What You Get_____________________

Lip Function Fact:
Your lips hold food and ensures of a smooth delivery to your mouth. This should be an automatic
memory function, though on occasion our brain reboots. All have witnessed in slow motion the
object of their desire escape the bottomless pit. Your lips also have the ability to seal tight to keep
food or liquid in your mouth.


Doctor Smith: Okay, so what is your motivation for wanting to reshape your L.I.P.?
(..Searching for your file shuffling papers)
Client: I am not completely happy with who I am. I have really high standards for myself!
Yesterday I was looking in the mirror and decided: Im going to fix my issue. I was
recommended to you by a colleague. So here I am!
Doctor Smith: Perfect, we do specialize in providing a tailored solution for your areas of
concern. I am thrilled to share with you the significant functions of the L.I.P. and how they affect
your overall being. Before we discuss that I will need you to sign this disclosure. I apologize in
advance for the length of this document. Another one of these compliance forms to add to our
mandates library. My secretary and I joke about it but soon they will pass an excessive L.I.P.
balm act at the rate their going!
Client: I agree it is such a waste of taxpayers hard earned money. (skimming the lengthy
disclosure document)


Doctor Smith: The disclosure states that you acknowledge your L.I.P. as being given by your
Creator. You have the option of checking off the box marked EXEMPT which relieves you of
the State imposing taxes resulting from any alterations.
Client: Oh my!
Doctor Smith: Yeah I know. Im use to that reaction. (..Smiling)
The first function of the significant L.I.P. is the intake function. Monitoring your intake is crucial
because this is the foundation of being in a great physical, mental, and emotional state. Your
being is trapped inside of your body and mind twenty four hours a day so you must give yourself
the proper nourishment for you to perform at your maximum level. Feeding your physical body
is only a third of your daily requirements. The other two thirds are engaging your mind and
stimulating your emotions. Most people barely feed their body properly, seldom fill their minds
with beneficial knowledge for eventual use, but do a fantastic job of arousing their emotions.
Client: I know the general necessities; do you have a few pointers you could recommend?
Doctor Smith: Sure, you definitely want to drink plenty of water. At one point in my life I barely
could take a sip without feeling like I was attempting to swallow a pill the size of a nickel. Then
I educated myself and discovered that 60% of the human body is water.
According to the USGS Water Science School article (ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/propertyyou.hyml)
the brain is composed of 70% water, and the lungs are nearly 90% water.
Client: It is hard for me to completely give up soda, I tried. I agree with you, water does not have
a pleasant taste although I do at least drink one cup a day!
Doctor Smith: Just like I educated myself about the benefits of water you too will have to study
and then internalize the information. Something magic happens when you conduct your own
research. After you study the benefits of water, I want you to contemplate this statement. The
minute you gain access to Coca-Colas patented formula is the second you will discover sodas
nutritional value.
Client: How many cups of water should I drink per day?
Doctor Smith: Drink half your body weight in ounces. Remember just as candy is not the only
place where sugar is found, water is found in other sources apart from a plastic bottle. Fruits and
vegetables which offer lots of nutrients are the main sources Im referring to. Black beans,
kidney beans, split peas, and black eyed peas are rich in dietary fiber which reduces the risk of
coronary artery disease. Sweet potatoes, cooked greens, and carrot juice are examples of
potassium sources to maintain a healthy blood pressure. Cantaloupe and pumpkin offers vitamin
A which keeps eyes and skin healthy. While strawberries, oranges, and tomato juice are great
sources of vitamin C which keeps your teeth and gums healthy.


(..takes a sip of water, smiling)
I do practice what I preach! If you cannot fulfill your daily required servings then buy additional
supplements. Your body is the car, the steering wheel your mind, and the driver is your being. If
you do not regularly perform maintenance on its tires its possible you could lose control over the
wheel. I forgot to mention the importance of eating nuts which are great for your heart.
It reduces your risk of developing blood clots that can cause a fatal heart attack and it also
improves the health of the lining of your arteries. Our goal is to always be at our peak level, not
experiencing a temporary high like a drug or certain foods give you. There is a story about a
recovering addict that went to jail for a long time at about the same time the fast food chains
were expanding. He served his time for ten years and his poor wife stayed married to him. Upon
his release she drives him to the nearest fast food chain closest to their house. Before he went to
prison there were houses on that land where the new pharmacy restaurant sits. He tastes the food
and instantly thinks that he just ate the best meal of his life. When he is missing at the home the
wife knows where to find him. One day his wife tells him she can only afford one meal a day.
They argue, he gets fed up and devises a plan. It is a Sunday morning; there are about two cars in
the parking lot. The delivery man jumps out of the truck to make his drop off. The ex-prisoner
then darts from behind the trash bin, throws himself into the seat and pulls off leaving the
delivery man coughing up dust. The corporation alerts the police and because of the importance
of the products in the truck the swat team gets involved. The guy goes to the nearest woods,
starts a fire and cooks the product. Fifteen minutes later he is found dead by the task force. The
autopsy showed that he consumed too much product in a short amount of time which caused him
to overdose! I thought you might like that.
Client: I never heard that one but thats crazy he never overdosed prior to his jail term.
Doctor Smith: I know, that is crazy. To recap, remember to drink lots of water, eat fruits,
veggies, nuts, and exercise daily. You will have total mastery over your body.
Client: Thanks for that information. It always feels great to have someone remind me of what I
know I should be doing. Often I feel out of control the minute I wake. My mind starts racing
with the things I have to do but none of which address self improvement.
Doctor Smith: Decide right now to change that habit. Write down your bad habits and examine
each one individually. Think about the negative impact on your happiness and the other areas it
affect. Once you discover the negative impact then dig deeper and find out what negative effect
you get from the original negative effect. Applied research is what will free you. On the same
paper list the benefits. Then compare and you will be amazed at your results scholar. For
example if you want to quit smoking, study what the nicotine does to your body. Dig deeper and
find out when that body organ is affected what symptoms show. Go a little lower and write down
what impact being in the hospital could have on your finances or family. Refer to this sheet of


paper when you repeat the habit. It is not enough to know whether something is good for you, the
why is always the weight that gives you the strength.
Client: I definitely will try that method.
Doctor Smith: Dont try it, visualize you overcoming that habit and apply the principle I just
gave you.
Client: Ok, Im going to make it happen.
Doctor Smith: Now thats the right attitude to have, confidence is everything.
Client: How long are your cardio workouts?
Doctor Smith: Usually thirty minutes. There are many benefits from exercising such as burning
calories, increasing your lung capacity, reducing stress and the risk of heart attacks, high
cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure. You do not have to start with thirty minutes, start
with ten minutes and continually add more, say a minute a day. I usually workout five days a
week but at times Im known to skip a day. Im not too hard on myself so I give my body a day
off whenever I see fit.
Client: What are your suggestions for engaging myself mentally?
Doctor Smith: Chess! If you do not understand how to play its worth learning the strategies. The
game relates to our life. It shows you how a well thought out plan can avoid the capture of your
most valuable pieces. The pawns are the material things in your life; the rooks represent your
mind because of the ability to gather a library of knowledge at any moment; the knights are your
emotions because of its every move to cover so much ground. The bishop is your personality,
sometimes its kept close to the king for protection and other times sent out to the field to win the
battle. The king is your soul; because it lives in the body it has limitations. Preventing this piece
from any form of movement is what ends the game. The queen is your dreams; it is the piece
everyone loves to attack first. If your opponent which is life circumstances could take your queen
from you then soon thereafter they are certain your king will surrender. The queen on the board
is the only piece with no limitations. This game should teach you that in order to win the game of
life there will have to be well thought out sacrifices.
Client: I heard that it was a great game to play but always wanted to be taught by someone. Im
going to find someone to teach me sooner than later.
Doctor Smith: You could also work on crossword, Sudoku, and logic puzzles. If you work on
these puzzles as much as I do then I recommend you take periodic breaks especially when you
come across a difficult problem or else you will experience increase levels of frustration. It may
be helpful to keep a punching bag or a stress ball near you while you challenge the complacent
you. Ignore that voice and wrestle with your mind and do not surrender until it has given you


every answer needed to solve the puzzle. I could hold off on our talk about feeding your
emotions because the entertainment industry revenue could blend in with a herd of stampeding
African elephants. Keep in mind, what you put in is what you get out. What you put in most of
the time determines how effective you are in reshaping your L.I.P.



two
Articulation of Sound- Can You
Hear You Now______________________________

Lip Function Fact:
The lips have the ability to create different sounds. Lips are just as important to the speech process
as 3 hearts, 9 brains, and blue blood is to a certain sea creature!


Doctor Smith: Secondly, the significant function of the L.I.P. is the ability to shape words.
Master the art of articulation. Apart from knowing your vision, being able to communicate your
goals, strengths and weaknesses to yourself is what gives you fortitude to grow while you are
tested on your path to accomplishing your purpose.
Client: Are you saying that I have to really understand who I am in order to be successful in
life?
Doctor Smith: Yes, a thorough understanding of yourself will assist you in turning negative
situations into positive experiences. Potential problems are weighted against your vision and
determined by you its relevance. Could I use this emotionally painful situation as a source of
energy towards my goals? For example, your vision is to fight against world diseases and your
long term goal is to become a doctor. Your short term goal is to complete each semester with a
4.0 GPA. Your strength is that you enjoy learning and your weakness is that you are discouraged
easily when everything does not happen as planned. You were anticipating starting college in the
fall but your financial aid award did not cover the total cost of tuition and you have no one to


help you. Your short term goal is now being jeopardized. Instead of telling yourself that its a
MAJOR setback think about the opportunity to get an internship or learn a trade that contributes
to your vision. Self studying is also an option so when classes do begin you will be ahead of the
class. Feed your strengths and starve your weaknesses. Do not let your weaknesses walk you on
its two leprechaun legs into the woods of depression. It is hard to find the sun amidst trees and
dead branches that reach into the heavens. Situations you have no control over assume there is a
greater purpose. The situations in your control are the ones you have to lord over. You are one
understanding and action away from mastering the game of life.
Client: I agree. Should I commit to memory my short and long term goals?
Doctor Smith: Sure, computers crash and papers get trashed.
Client: Ok, that really helped!
Doctor Smith: Goals are important to your mind as eating is to the well being of your body.
Seeing a manifestation of your goals pushes you to strive for excellence. You feel significant and
began to tug on your life force. You need daily goals. Every day you breathe is another
opportunity to make your dreams other peoples reality. To you, it is already your dream and
reality simultaneously. You can envision and believe it, so it is real to you. Expect the discipline
of your daily goals to be painful. Your short term pain should be perceived as positioning you for
long term pleasure.
Client: What advantage do I have in knowing my exact strengths and weaknesses that will enable
me to reshape my L.I.P.?
Doctor Smith: Knowing your strengths and weaknesses help you make strategic decisions. In
your occupation your character strengths should always be displayed to stand apart from the
people who may not be aware of theirs. Some people dont know their character strengths but
they still stand out. You do want to know so you can use it as leverage for promotions within the
company or for better opportunities elsewhere. Skill set strengths helps your marketability.
While the former directly affect your relationships with other coworkers, the latter has a direct
affect on your economic value in the marketplace. You should be studying, practicing, and then
studying again to reach the expert level of the skill set you have. The rewards will outweigh the
temporary pain of setting aside an hour each day to perfect your craft. Any time the rewards are
not instant there will be a commitment required. Skill set weaknesses is to be nurtured and
developed to compliment your strengths. Understanding your character flaws is your first step
towards your personal development.
(Doctor Smith pausesthe good doctor stomach growls)
Client: Did you lose your thought?


Doctor Smith: For a second but I remember what I was going to tell you. Think about the most
compatible couples or business relationships. Each person knows what valuable skills they bring
to the partnership. When experiencing setbacks which they accept as a normal expectation of the
game of life, they often learn what went wrong and they are able to think through positive
solutions. What started as a painful experience now is harnessed as the energy to get to the next
level. Im looking forward to the day when we will understand ourselves and other people just as
the most profitable corporations of our time understand us. They are mammoth companies in
providing a product or service because they understand their customers buying habits.
Articulating your goals, strengths and weaknesses to yourself is the second prerequisite to
successfully reshaping your L.I.P.

























three
Erogenous Zone- You Are Tall Enough
To Ride the Coaster_________________

Lip Function Fact:
The lips have a high number of nerve endings which may heighten sensitivity and cause arousal.
According to Dr. Jerry Kennard the most common reason for problems in arousal are
psychological.


Doctor Smith: Previously we discussed how important intake is to the L.I.P. After you have a
clearer thought process you should be able to articulate your vision, goals, strengths and
weaknesses to yourself. Truly understanding and applying those concepts will provide for a
smooth transition for the third important function of the L.I.P.
Client: Drum roll please!
Doctor Smith: You are right, you have a clue of what Im about to say.
Client: I really dont know.
Doctor Smith: Take one educated guess. I will reshape any other part of your body at a 50%
discount!
Client: Can I get that in writing?
Doctor Smith: I was joking. The drum roll was right because you have to march to your own beat
while maintaining ultimate control over what beat you make.


Client: Mr. Philosopher, you are getting too deep on me right now.
Doctor Smith: I love clients like you. Great sense of humor. You have to master the art of
stimulating your emotions. Your emotions have to be aroused to produce activity. We both know
a friend or family member that desperately wants to change something for the better.
They consistently dream and talk, talk and dream, and never take action. They fail to use the
dream as stimuli which put them in a great emotional state which then produces activity.
Client: What are other effective methods to stimulate your emotions?
Doctor Smith: Watch your favorite reality shows!
Client: Seriously?
Doctor Smith: Yes, you can use whatever you please if it will get the job done. The key factor is
your perspective on life. I would watch the reality shows that were filmed in the most beautiful
locations in the United States. I remember looking at the landscape and imaging how
comfortable the weather was. I felt the rays of the smoldering sun, my nostrils were baptized
with the sweet aroma of the ocean, and my feet were melting in the quicksand. Every step I took
I could feel my skin tightening up and
Client: I think I get the point.
Doctor Smith: See, just reminiscing on my own imagination is stimulating me. Next you would
want to channel the energy because you have already built up momentum. If you dont subscribe
to cable then go on your internet, search Google maps, click satellite view and then zoom to the
street level of any location you wish. Its a virtual vacation. The cost: priceless! There are also
articles and pictures, books and scriptures which could be used as a reference. As you uncover
and articulate to yourself your likes and dislikes, yours goals and strengths, use that information
and be on the manhunt for stimuli and watch the momentum cause you to do the unexpected.
That momentum will cause you to dwell in a great emotional state.
Client: I hear what you are saying but people like me are stimulated by celebritys lives and
television shows but still dont accomplish anything noteworthy.
Doctor Smith: Condition your mind to harness the power of being in that positive emotional
state. Where people go wrong is when the stimuli wares off there are no results of anything
produced so it is impossible to be empowered to move forward. You cannot dwell too long in the
imagination and the feeling. Find something and purpose in your mind that you are going to
produce some type of result. In doing this you start an endless cycle. You get momentum then
channel it, then you produce, then you feel great. You then start seeking out positive experiences
in the midst of negative situations, with this focus you end up producing something else. You
have now created a good habit. This producing can be tangible or intangible. The mother of a


new born child or the inventor of a revolutionary product or system both feel the same way:
significant. They share the feeling of making a mark in the world. Get the momentum, harness,
and produce. M.P.H is our acronym for stimulating our emotions to effectively reshape our L.I.P.


four
Facial Expressions- Speak Up
Or Never Experience Peace_______________

Lip Function Fact:
Your lips can express emotions you are experiencing, from happy to sad and anything in between.
Facial expressions are the only non verbal communication behaviors consistent across all cultures.


Doctor Smith: Lastly, the significant function of the L.I.P. is the ability to express. We both
know how challenging this can be. To express oneself is to awake your critics. Younger people
use the term hated on. So accept the critics as evidence you are being your unique self. There
will be plenty of people who enjoy your company, few will not but thats fine. The glass is half
full depending on what you had for breakfast.
(..Client laughing)
Doctor Smith: You like that?
Client: I have not heard that expression in a while. How do I successfully express myself, if such
a thing exists?
Doctor Smith: Sure it exists. You can unsuccessfully express yourself by unconsciously being
someone who you admire. Always assess your unique self to make sure you are being true to
yourself. Find your own style through consistent self expression. This outlet could be painting,
cooking, decorating or other activities. You are searching to develop that special you. Accept
who you are. Look past all of these social constructs: gender, size, height, culture, color group,
economic status, and social status. These are identification labels and you will not let that limit


your potential as a lover of life. Use those labels as a source of stimulating your emotions. You
are significant! You are special just because you exist and you have the ability to make someone
feel loved whether it be a spouse, coworker, or friend. Express the gesture of love.
(.Doctor Smith abruptly stands and wipes his forehead with the clean part of his breakfast
muffin napkin)
Client: Let me guess you wanted to or still have the desire to be a preacher?
Doctor Smith: I must say, that has always been an interest of mine. Hope you enjoyed your
consultation and I shall see you next time in the operation room. Good luck.

Doctor Smith is now fired up and searches YouTube for his favorite preacher when his client
leaves. The client leaves the office feeling like the process of reshaping their L.I.P. is not a
strenuous one. A little humor makes everything easier.

























PART 2_________________________________________
Under The Knife- The Operation Room














Introduction_________________________________

This is just an introduction to our following chapters. Our next session takes place in the
operating room.

PART 2 SCENE
Today is your big day. You are now about to go under the knife to reshape your L.I.P. You are
calm because you have an understanding of the necessary incisions that have to take place. The
room has a comfortable temperature, a little on the cooler side. You are now under the spotlight.
Any feeling you have is numbed, this is done so you can look at your situation subjectively. The
door opens and in comes your surgeon walking to the beat of your heart.















five
Lamp-Every Child
Needs Attention_______________

We meet again. I am glad to see that you followed through on your commitment. I am
going to talk you through the process while your L.I.P. is being reshaped. The function of the
lamp in surgery is to illuminate a local area or cavity of a client. I need you to assist me in
positioning the shadow less lamp directly on your reshaping area. The message of the lamp is to
illuminate a troublesome area in your psyche that is called self condemnation. The roots are
often planted in your childhood so those periods in your life you will give the most attention.
Your self condemnation currently affects so many areas of your life; your kids, friends, lover,
family, your career, and most important, you.
Who gave you a limiting belief about yourself? Was it your parents, whether they were
super high achievers or not, the areas they suffered with were often the self limiting thoughts
instilled in you? You were too young and impressionable to object. If it was not your parents,
maybe it was your friends. Were you bullied or told throughout your grade schools years that
you were weird? Did you fear to let your intelligence shine when called on to answer
questions? Did your parents discipline you when you did not give the right answers at home?
Or did your parents verbally abuse you? Are you the only child? If not, were your brothers
and/or sisters given more attention than you by your parents? Did your family tease you often?
Did your partner say spiteful things to you? What unnecessary thoughts are you holding on to
that limit you and indirectly take away your happiness?
Shine your lamp and examine your past, from there most of your problems has its
origin. Those problems are presently having an effect on your current relationships because
those thoughts have been the basis of how you respond. Every time a positive questions or
statement fills your mind it is ganged up on and strangled by a zillion negative responses. It is
automatic. The result never seems to change no matter what area of your life your soul wants
you to examine. Change this cycle. I want you to meditate and ponder your childhood


memories. Do this exercise with each area of your life. We want to attack the root. Once you
find the assailant that carried the message to you from another, I want you to immediately use
your powerful judgmental skills on that person.
As a child you have adolescent defense mechanisms but as you grow wiser and older
youre constantly challenging what people tell you. One of the first things you look at is a
persons credibility. Anyone who said harmful things to you was not credible. They have their
own issues which mean it is not possible for them to have been your creator. Take them off the
pedestal because the seat should only be reserved for your creator. The person who infected
you with that self condemning pattern of thinking is not a bad person. Often times they
coughed around you and were not consciously attempting to get you sick. But they did. You can
cure yourself and keep a birds eye on those who also may have been diagnosed. The self
condemning disease is airborne. Daily you need to be on guard for its subtle movements. We
adopt beliefs that are seldom examined. You are the generational curse breaker. Flex your
muscles for the time is now. There is no better time than now, as I am the one to deliver the
gospel so you can spread the positive message to the people you love. It is ok to show your love
passionately for someone. Dismiss the person that was hurt and convinced you to believe that
lovers get hurt. Some lovers do get hurt, that is a part of lifes growth plan. This does not give
you an excuse to neglect the expression of your love. What if the person you are currently in
love with and neglecting is your soul mate? Love gives and the person that gives loves. It is the
lovers that make this world a better place.
You can display your genius mind. People who called you a nerd were intimidated by
you. They did not want to engage their brain in the manner you did. They felt threatened and
their animalistic response was to make you feel like you were some kind of freak. They made
you feel insignificant. These days you do not want to apply yourself because of an issue that
happened 25 years ago. You never overcame that hurt. Today you will know that the geniuses
make the greatest contributions to society. This is the perspective you must embody now. Your
mind is the largest garden in the world. Cultivate it and plant good seeds and prepare for the
harvest.
Money is not evil. Having lots of money does not make you a bad or evil person, likewise
not having much money does not make you a good or godly person. If you have a lot of money
you could use your resources to help your neighbor. Having no money or little of it gives you
restrictions. You cannot help your neighbor and you can barely help yourself. It is not about
aspiring to become greedy rich but you have to create multiple streams of income to be a
blessing to someone else especially your kids. There is nothing wrong with being money
motivated with the heart to serve people after you have accumulated something of value. If
you do not become a master of how to make money it will eventually govern your life and


dictate most if not all of your decisions. Whether they are decisions to improve your health, go
back to school, send your children to a notable school, you do not want the lack of money to
deter you. We live in a world of commerce. You can try to run from the want of it but
eventually the need for it will catch up. The goal is to outpace the demand.
Were you laughed at and labeled short, ugly, big boned, or skinny. Every human has
something that is not spectacular about them. Some have more than others, but accept who
you are and embrace it. Just think, the situation can always be more severe. Who cares what
society says. One day they are against something, the next day for it. You cannot judge yourself
based on what somebody says. Who gave them that authority? You sure enough have not.
Nobody is that special to make you feel like you do not want to live in the body that your
parents birthed. You being born was not an accident, it was a miracle. So live your life
comfortable about yourself with the gratitude that you are a miracle because you had a
successful birth.
To successfully reshape your L.I.P. is to shine the lamp on all of your thoughts to
examine whether they are positive or negative. Write down your positive thoughts about every
topic you can think of. Now write down all of your negative thoughts about those same topics.
Think about where they originate from. After you have identified where they originate from,
reduce the weight of that person who gave you those emotional thoughts. If you do not then
you can never be free from that negative association. If you reduce the person to a level of
insignificance then their emotional thoughts transferred to you become minimized. After the
negative belief is rendered stupid, you now want to educate yourself about the positive belief
you want to occupy your mind with. Find something that supports your new positive outlook.
Search for blogs, cut out newspaper articles, skim the magazines and gather all your material.
Put this material in visible places and give it your attention every day. This will give fuel to your
new perspective. This process could be used for money, love, and any other area of your life
that you need a new thought process in. There are always people you can find to support your
new perspective. These are the people you need to search out.
Adopting a new perspective will create a positive emotional response that will allow you
to live in happiness to reach your maximum potential.

Vital Sign Monitor-The
Test Is to Breathe _______________

I want you to now check the vital sign monitor. It measures the body most basic functions
such as your body temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate and blood pressure. Are you alive? I
ask that question to promote an honest self reflection. If you are living and your body functions
properly then you have the ability to function in a certain capacity. Your days of excuses are
over. You have the greatest resource available which is the breath of life. With this resource a
plethora of people had accomplished great things. Ludwig van Beethoven was completely deaf
for the last part of his life and yet managed to produce some of the greatest music of all time.
Louis Braille accidentally stabbed himself in the eye and became blind from this injury. He was
the inventor and designer of Braille writing which enables blind people to read from a series of
organized bumps. Their accomplishments have positively impacted millions of people globally.
How did they do it? Were they given a double portion of luck by Lady Grace? I do not subscribe
to that, their key ingredients were their exposure to specific knowledge, persistence and
creativity which removed all mental and physical limitations.
Think about how many times in the past year that you decided not to pursue a certain
individual you wanted to be with, a career, a business opportunity, an idea, or a certain body
shape you desire. Your excuse for not pursuing these endeavors was that you lack the resources.
You told yourself you will do it another time. Maybe the freedom of self you so desire will be
unlocked as soon as you stop limiting what you would like to accomplish because of a
misunderstanding. You do not lack the resource, you lack the creativity. Our previous examples
knew that as long as they can breathe then they can believe for all things are possible for those to
achieve. Find your source of motivation when you start to be so critical on yourself, then tap into
your creativity.
It was not until I put my creativity in action combined with a business acumen that I
began to fulfill others needs and wants. This is how the resource of wealth is created. I am not


saying that a creative pick up line will get the lover you want. Nor that your invention will make
you rich, but it is worth the effort to at least try. For the people that have not tried there is a one
hundred percent chance they will never have what they desire. Get an audio recorder, record
your voice and play this message until it is a natural part of your thought process: (The rewards
far outweighs the pain of initiation. The pain is present to discourage the weak. I AM the real
deal.) If you are not privileged with the tangible resources then you can develop the next greatest
resource available besides the breath of life: your mind.
A mind that is developed has the opportunity to create tangible resources. A developed
mind is one that has been exposed to a basic knowledge of how everything in this world
operates. To make the transition of your mind from a liability to an asset you have to habitually
make use of the right side of your brain where your creativity resides. There are numerous books
you can buy that will show you how to develop your creativity. To become a well of knowledge
you have to expose yourself to a lot of topics. This means you have to like reading. There are
other ways to learn as in traveling or watching informational videos. The focus is to gain certain
knowledge, think of unique associations with other information which is your creativity, next
mine through the rubble with determination.
What about that business you wanted to create but you lack the capital necessary.
Educate yourself on how to put together a business plan, study successful businesses in your
niche, figure out what innovative methods you can contribute, study legal procedures. Armed
with this knowledge, roll up your sleeves and get busy and apply the knowledge. Persuade a
potential partner with your great idea and implementation thereof. If it is a business you can start
by yourself then do it, worry about the growth aspect later. When you are a virgin entrepreneur it
is good to learn how all the pieces of the puzzle fit. Do not associate yourself with all of the
businesses that failed before you even begin. Your business will succeed because you will
acquire the necessary skills to ensure its prosperity. Most of the businesses that fail do so
because the people that start them do not know the science of operating a successful business. So
even if the business fails it will be because of external conditions, not the internal condition of
you.
If you are interested in changing your career but feel you are not qualified then get an
online certificate or enroll at your local university. You are never too old or too young to follow
your dreams. You are hesitant about your career change because you have not properly educated
yourself so you feel incompetent and never seek what you desire. Find someone within your
organization that has made a career change and ask them what resources they used to make the
transition. Some people dive head first while others need a level of understanding before they
pursue it. Check your vital signs to make sure your living. Understand that the greatest resource
that you possess is you. This is the breath of life and your mind which is an incubator for your
knowledge and creativity. Use it to your advantage. You must add to your diet daily: exposure
and creativity with sprinkles of determination to successfully reshape your L.I.P.

Scalpels-You Do Not
Fear What You See ______________________

We are progressing along and the process of reshaping your L.I.P. should be understood
as a simple but challenging endeavor. In our next segment I need you to grab your scalpels and
let me show you what you are going to make an incision on. The scalpels are used during a
surgical operation to make anatomical dissections. We are going to cut deep into a part we
cannot see, but we know the area the leech resides because it is sucking the blood from us. We
know its location, but it is not visible. I am your second opinion to know the precise cut to make.
This is not your sorry effort in trying to shape the back of your hairline up with clippers
gentleman. Ladies, this is not the same as trimming your own ends with scissors. Both
experiments most times do not turn out well. If you put as much concentration into this
experiment as you did your beauty, I can assure you another tree in the forest of life will fall. But
does it make a sound if you are not there to hear it. We will leave that philosophical debate to
others.
I took a poll of working class people to see who would enter a dark cave at night if there
was a one million dollar reward. You could not carry any weapons in this cave but I can ensure
of your survival. Eight out of ten choose the section marked hell no. The majority reason cited
were the uncertainty of potential harm. Gods blessing to the two out of ten that are fearless, for
they will accomplish great things if they work hard and are smart. The same survey was
conducted on homeless people who often sleep in dark alleys. The reward was the same but the
results were completely opposite. Majority of them said hell yeah. How could this be, they are
not born with any special powers. They are human beings just like the working class people. The
difference between the two is the latter have become accustom to the unknown, darkness. When
you make it a habit to constantly confront the darkness figuratively speaking, you cast aside your
fears of the unknown. In most cases, the latter had no other choice. You too need to adopt the
mind that there is no other way for you to successfully reshape your L.I.P. if you do not force
yourself into the dark caves of life.


Why do we fear the unknown? It is a common association that the unknown represents
a kind of evil. The unknown is often thought of as situations that could mean disaster. If we think
about the unknown as darkness then we actually find very good associations. You sleep and your
body replenishes itself while it is dark, you have no conscious involvement. Photographs use to
get developed in a dark room.
The spiritual unknown gives us an obligation to love your neighbor as yourself. The
unknown represents change, so there is no need to fear it. From the above examples most of the
changes are for our good. This universe is held together by unknown powers to the naked eye
and you have faith in it, why not have faith for your situation that you want to change. We have
to reprogram our minds to embrace the unknown if we are ever going to achieve greatness. The
unknown makes man strive for the greatest inventions ever conceived. The unknown can be an
energy that you harness to make great accomplishments. They could be physical or spiritual.
Why do we fear the dark? Because of all those scary movies we grew up watching where
people get killed in the dark! As we became adults we associated the dark with the greatest form
of evil which is death. Let us now educate ourselves with every positive situation we can find
that emphasizes the great aspect of the unknown, or darkness. The other reason we fear the
unknown is because we know that we have control over situation A, but what happens if B
occur. We cannot concentrate the majority of our energy beyond situation A because the more
we move along the letter scale the less control we have which automatically brings a level of
fear. You control the process but not the outcome. Sure, part of what you do in the process has a
direct result on the outcome, but you cannot control the outcome.
To make it practical, think about a person who wants to lose weight which represents
situation A. Situation B is that they do not want to lose weight on certain parts of their body.
With this probability it paralyzes them and they never attack situation A. The fear of the
unknown after situation A is where most people mentally give up in their planning, but the
amazing thing is that they never physically performed situation A, they just thought about it. We
all know someone like this or are guilty of it ourselves.
The same situation applies with your kids. You can send them to the most prestige
schools. Enroll them in the greatest child developmental programs known to man. And position
them in the safest neighborhoods with all the resources at their fingertips. But you cannot control
what type of adult they become. Of course all of those factors help to foster a poster kid. You
definitely make the effort but understand you do not have the final say of the future.
You can also apply this understanding of control over the process in business. When Bill
Gates was writing code all day and night in the early days of Microsoft did he know that he
would become the richest man in the world? Businesses can forecast profits but none can
consistently achieve the exact results as predicted. I can assure you there were plenty of other
tech guys writing code during that time who are not even close to the monetary achievements of


Mr. Gates. Why? Because all you control is the process, not the result. So I want you to grab
your scalpels and make the necessary precise incisions in your life. Fear of the unknown result
you do not concern yourself with because all of your energy is conserved for the control over the
process. Taking full authority over the process often produces positive results. Get the proper
perspective about your fear of the unknown and watch you catapult into greatness and the
successful reshaping your L.I.P.

Suction Device-Perspective
Is Not Regulated ______________________

This is our final operation. This last process is crucial to successfully reshaping your
L.I.P. For this reason many relationships fail to reach the platonic level. Many dreams are still
entangled in this web call the fear of commitment. In surgical operations the suction device is
used to remove blood from the area being operated on. Position your suction device near your
mouth. Excuses you make now and in the future need to be suctioned through the tube of
nonsense. You are on your path to impacting other peoples life in some way.
Your fear of commitment is the result of a lack of discipline. Why do we lack the
discipline? Mentally we are afraid of the responsibility commitment produces. To go a level
deeper our fear of responsibility is because we fear an emotional change. It is called having your
feathers ruffled. We dislike being in an uncertain emotional state. Why is an hourly wage or an
annual salary preferred over only commission? Even if you have the chance to make more
money the risk involved is the potential for emotional turmoil if all of the bills cannot get paid.
This is why you need to master your emotions to make a positive change in your life.
You can make progress on your commitments if you would steer your emotions in the direction
you want them to go. Changes in your environment or situation will not give you a panic attack
because your new perspective embraces emotional changes. You have the responsibility to
manage your perceptions. Accept that experiencing new challenges are not devastating and
really bring new opportunities for emotional growth. Commitment does not have to feel like a
pregnant ape on your back, only a new born monkey. To successfully reshape your L.I.P
understand that responsibility is not to be feared but rather embraced because through
commitment there is tremendous change.










PART 3_________________________________________
Your Desired Result- Rehabilitation Time
















Introduction_________________________________

This is just a scene introduction to our following chapters, thats all.

PART 3 SCENE
We went our separate ways four days ago after being in the operation room. We now meet in the
park. Only in the far left distant can you see the sun shine dimmed. Dark purple skies with
twinkles of light have begun to overtake the heavens. This is your rehabilitation time. The breeze
is engaging. Tonights sessions are about your desired result. This is our third time meeting and
will conclude our journey; for now.

Defining Your Success-To
Remain Sane Pick Your Brain ______________________


Write the first word that comes to mind when you think of success! Do not write what
you think it should be, there is no reward for deceiving yourself. Previously, after an honest
moment of reflection I found my definition. Success means lots of money. That was not exactly
one word but I am sure yours was not either. I was conditioned to value myself based on what
was in my bank account. I know I am not alone. A lot of people have bought into the hype. We
have symbolized what life means by acquiring branded possessions.
Can I change the worlds thought pattern on this? Probably not, for I have yet to think how
a new society could function where there is no reward which is an outward manifestation. If
every material possession disappeared for everyone we would have major withdraw because we
are use to a certain kind of milk. I am still guilty of squeezing out comfort from material gain.
Not a conviction that I stole a cookie from the jar. More like acknowledging my pleasure. The
difference before I did my introspection and now is my refusal to participate in the stench. The
discontent that shows its ugly face when you look around at what you do not have. Whether you
are poor with nothing, middle class with something, or rich wanting to be super filthy rich. The
want for possessions is a powerful thirst that can never be quenched. Therefore I created my own
life defining parameters. You should as well!
Were the Occupy Wall Street protest and the like really about the unfairness of these
mega corporations getting the bailout money or was it a collective cry of the many wanting a
bigger chunk of the pie? Looking back, how ignorant was I to have such a limited view. Well,
we all are innocent babies until illumination has visited to mature us. My definition is what
caused hopelessness. Do this sound familiar to you? After examining your thoughts if necessary


quickly reprogram your hard drive. My new definition of success became, success is subjective
not objective. The media conditions us that success is to have a grandiose achievement. This is
what is promoted because we are enamored with people who climb their way to the top of the
barrel to achieve notoriety or financial excess.
Success has many levels and at the completion of each level we should celebrate our own
accomplishments.
In doing so, it will motivate us to work harder because we took pleasure in acknowledging our
determination. Right now redefine your meaning of success on that same sheet of paper you
wrote the first word that came to mind. Your definition of success should constantly be adjusted
to reflect certain conditions. For example, you cannot expect your two kids to perform at the
same academic levels because there are always different variables such as the difference in the
teachers teaching style or the kids interpretation of the information. As well you cannot expect
an investment to yield the same return as it did an associates from market conditions six months
ago.
Reshaping your L.I.P. is about constant evaluation of every facet of your existence.
Evaluating does two things: it helps you to make improvements on the areas you are weak in and
it simultaneously allows you to set realistic success goals.

See the Picture-Its Worth
Is Priceless ______________________


It is time to begin your long journey of exploration. There is so much to learn about the
world you live in. There are between 193 and 250 countries in the world. Never should there be a
dull moment in your life. Learn other nations while holding strong to your values. I am a
vegetarian but that does not deter my interest in learning about the advanced economy of the
European nation Luxembourg. Which has the highest meat consumption statistics per person
according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization.
There is always the challenging task of learning another language. If you do not have the
finances at this moment to enroll in a course at your community college then buy a book from
Amazon. There is always a way to start whatever you desire even if you do not have the
payment. The internet and all its informational videos could whet your appetite until you are in a
position to buy the most comprehensive course you could find. I was interested in learning
mandarin Chinese so I bought the demystified version if such a thing exists. It was and still is a
challenge but remember I told you that short term pain is always a prerequisite of long term
pleasure.
Explore nature. Take a hike literally. Learn about all the sea and land animals. You will
discover the most interesting times of our existence is not when we pamper ourselves, but when
we learn about the animals we stuff our belly with. Your trips to the zoo and aquarium will be
more exciting and you will develop a bond with the animals. This is great if you are a teacher or
parent of children because there are always facts to fill in to better educate your kids. You
become more sensitive to other forms of life.


Buy a cook book, or get a free consultation with a nutritionist. Find something you have
not done before. Attend business functions or community meetings and network. Learn about
other people after you have a certain level of understanding about yourself. Any success level
you want to reach in your life involves building relationships with other people. If you want to
appear like a networking professional then I suggest you read the book Small Talk by Debra
Fine. Enough with my rambling. I pulled a question for you out of the hat. Why do you prefer to
see a movie on the big screen at your local theatre as oppose to your flat screen at home?
Why because you get a better experience. Dont you? That is why I want you to see the bigger
picture for your life. Expose yourself constantly because you never know when what you learned
will be needed to bless someones life. Every time your eyes land on an object, whether it is
physical or immaterial, allow your reasoning mind to explore its function. Being exposed to a
world outside yourself allows you to create your prefect world within. Exposure is crucial in
successfully reshaping your L.I.P.

Seizing Something New-Use
The Bait for the Alligator ______________________

I want you to specifically target that position, career, or business that you knew you were
suppose to be involved in but you let your fear tame your inner beast. There is a part of you that
will not take no for an answer. Instead of having to get angry to get in this warrior state I want
for you to emotionally trick yourself to getting in that state only to grab your prey for your
survival. If you do not seize your feed them you will be on the verge of extinction. I want you to
capture it, cover its eyes and never let go until you get everything you ferociously premeditated.
This is your opportunity to really experience happiness by choosing an occupation that
you have a passion in and where your gifts will be matured. Your purpose for living is to be of
service to others with your gifts that were given by your creator. It is your responsibility to first
know what your true passions are and second to develop your talents. I say true passions because
many follow other peoples passion because they desire the lifestyle. They want the normalcy of
high end luxury items but they have not a clue of how to attain them. They desire the association.
Im mainly referring to what occupations the media portrays.
These occupations are oversaturated with demand because of the glamour. From actors,
to singers, to high roller CEOs, the media has veiled the work required to make it to the upper
echelon but has flooded the marketplace with the belief that anyone can do it. It is no surprise
why the occupations are paid enormous amounts of money. Everyone has bought the desire.
Everyone was not meant to be an actor, furthermore an A list celebrity. The same is for all
occupations. If it is your passion you should not have to be motivated by the fame or potential
wealth. You should do it just because you feel a connection that is deeper than just a thought. Im
talking about having a feeling, almost like a burden. A duty.


Aside from your own monetary pleasure what legacy do you want to leave for the
passionate field you work in? If you cannot think of any then you need to run from yourself now.
Chasing the vanity of money results in self destructive behavior. Are not the ones who cause
injury whether bodily or mentally to others having a heart full of greed? They have such a lust
for money that they could care less about the end where the true happiness resides. They are
shortsighted only on the means. It is true that majority of the occupations do not command a high
hourly wage to afford the ultra rich lifestyle. Through wise investments and proper planning you
can eventually have all your heart desires. Let me revise that to say most of them.
Follow your passions because there your gifts will develop and you will impact other
people lives. If the marketplace has not commercialized your passions I want you not to get
discouraged. Tap into your creativity and meditate on the monetization of your craft. Instead of
looking at the lack of recognition and pay, just think you can be the pioneer. Being the pioneer
will either reward you with extreme riches or at the very least recognition.
I am not telling you to leave your current job that allows you to provide shelter for you
and your family. I am encouraging you to start today and get focused on what you love. It does
not matter if it is part time or full time, just get started! One of my passions is to change the
consciousness of others, so that they aspire to their highest ideals. I was doing this when I was a
teenager, although it was not formalized until 2012. Sometimes you know exactly what you want
to do because it has always been in your heart since your youth. Others know what makes them
happy but not sure what occupation to enter into. The next chapter will address how to find the
best occupation to put your talents on display. Seizing the occupation you desire is one of the
important lessons in successfully reshaping your L.I.P.

Your Shining Stars- The Hollywood
Walk of Fame Is Not Alone________________

Are you one of the people that struggle in life with matching your talents and passion to a
specific occupation? Maybe you do not know what your talents are. There is hope and no need to
worry much longer. Astrology consists of a system of horoscopes which explain aspects of a
persons personality and predict future events in their life based on the positions of the sun,
moon, and other planetary objects at the time of their birth. The oldest undisputed evidence of
the use of astrology dates back to the first dynasty of Mesopotamia (1950-1651 BCE).
Numerology is the study of the symbolism of numbers. Modern numerology is used to determine
a persons personality, strengths and talents, obstacles, emotion reactions, and inner needs. The
study of numerology was practiced by the mathematician Pythagoras and his followers in the 6
th

century B.C.
These systems are used amongst many cultures throughout the world. We will use these
practices in our lives for direction. I call it your shining stars. Everyone has their own star. They
serve as your guide to help you evolve through the journey of life. These guides can be used to
discover a new career, a hobby, your talents or it could help you in strategically finding a
compatible mate. If you already have a mate you can use it as a tool to help understand each
other better. Rest assured having knowledge of what energies are dominate during periods of
your life will enable you to harness that unseen force to achieve phenomenal accomplishments in
the area of your choice. You can get started be signing up for free reports just to get a
generalized idea. Once you are comfortable then seek an expert in those fields that could help
you make more informed decisions on your path of evolution.


A special someone a few years back introduced me to a more conscious approach to life.
I started studying astrology and numerology. I also began Buddhist meditation and listening to
binaural beats to influence my brain in positive ways. I became more conscious of the food I was
eating. The information from all the topics mentioned above has worked for me and I am sure
they will have an impact on your life. Become zealous for your dreams, burn to ashes the
blindfold, swing the axe on your fears and rejoice when you and others divide the spoils!
