LIfe is Short


Today is my birthday and as I sit here after having three cups of coffee and savoring the time alone in the guest bedroom I think of that old phrase, "life is short".  It is isn't it?  Life seems to go fast when you look back and now at 59 I ask myself: Where did it go?  It just seems to have gone so fast.  As a result I have some advise for all my readers:

Eat dessert first whenever you like and make it decadent.

Take time to goof off and do nothing in particular every day.

Find and form your own clan of people who will cheer for you.

Buy one quality item versus ten cheap ones.

Dance by yourself and if others join you it will be an addition to your party.

Don't worry about anything because in the end it will be the same result.

Don't take what others say to heart.

Say what you need to say in a way that others can hear you.

Surround yourself with beautiful, meaningful things in your home.

Before you laugh at others laugh at yourself.

Present yourself on the outside in a way that honors the inside.

Feel as young as you want to be.

Keep moving.

Think yourself into what you want.

Know that you are valuable because you are alive.

Breathe through it and you will get to the other side.

Have a mantra.

Don't expect anyone to save you.

Listen more than you talk.

Stay connected to divine spirit.

So there it is.  I hope that all of you have at least one thing about life to share with each other.  In fact I am sure you all do.

Coach Elliott

A Seasoned Vs Old Person

Those of you who know me personally might be aware that I don't use the word "old".  I don't think that people should be referred to with a word like old and I believe that as we live longer lives we are wiser and that we can be looked upon as "seasoned".  For me the word seasoned means that we have lived a good life and that we have gone from one season to another experiencing life and the many ups and downs of it.  I don't see the word old as one that honors any human being for their acquisition of wisdom and the things they have been able to overcome.  I for one consider myself a seasoned man not an "old man". There are so many meanings to the word old but the one that I am not in agreement with is the connotation that older is less than and younger is more important.  Unfortunately we live in a world where youth is celebrated and seasoned people are looked down on.  The thought is that younger people are more attractive or that they are m...

Your Skirt Is Over Your Head

I am uncertain as to how many of my readers know what I mean about putting your skirt over your head.  All I know is that my sister once said it and I think I heard it in a movie once.  I do know that in the movie "Mermaids" Cher who played the mom had some great lines about being a woman and just having a good time with life.  In one of those what should be famous lines Cher's daughter played by Winnona Ryder says: "Don't you think yoiiu are too old for that dress?"to which Cher responds with: "Don't be silly Charlotte, a woman is never too old".  In another part there is a stunning young man waiting on their porch to welcome them to the country area where they moved and upon setting eyes on him Winnona Ryder who is Charlotte is mezmerized by him.  Cher suddenly turns around and says: "too bad your hell bent on becoming a nun".  To say that Cher truly pulls the dress over her head is really minimizing her role in this movie that I wo...

Visualize It, Manifest It.

Let me just excuse myself from the non-believers as I know you are out there and the mere idea of believing and then achieving seems silly.  If you are one of these people, you should stop reading now and simply not waste any time because if you don't believe in yourself then you will not understand how manifestation works.  This blog is not just about believing and then getting what you believe in but more importantly how to go from the thought of being your highest self to actually being your highest self. And so if you believe, even a little, keep going because this is about having what you want in life ether spiritually, emotionally or physically.  Here are some ways to get there: Setting Your Intention: The very first thing to do when you want to manifest something (joy, money, relationship) is to set your intention.  You can set your intention by speaking of what you want in a way that feels intentional. An intention can sound like this: My intention is ...
