P. Diddy a.k.a. Sean Combs Lays Down The Law — The 10 Surefire Ways To Success

Sean Combs aka P. DiddyP. Diddy is a personal idol of one of the writers on FinerMinds and several other people at MindValley. He really needs no introduction. His fame and money alone speak volumes of his success but his charitable works and blog speak of his love of humanity and personal growth.

So we thought we’d share his 10 ways to success from Vibe.com.

Check it out. This man knows what he’s doing.

Diddy’s 10 Ways To Success

1. Work hard. Then work harder. The difference between me and you is I’M working when YOU’RE sleeping!! When you think you’ve done enough for the day, KEEP GOING!!

2. Believe. Never lose your faith!!! Only YOU can make the impossible possible…so prove the world wrong! BELIEVE!

3. Count your pennies. Yeah, it’s that dirty money!!! But you don’t get rich from blowing it.…spend your money wisely & question EVERY business move you make. Be smart people!

4. Be humble. Remember your roots & what your mother told you. She’s still right!!

5. Listen. Choose the people in your life carefully & surround yourself with artists & experts at their craft.…then listen to what they have to say. They’re the ones who will help you on the way to the top.

6. Love. Leave room every day to LOVE and be LOVED!!!

7. Don’t make the same mistake twice. There are no second chances. Period.

8. Never settle. Take the words “good enough” out of your vocabulary!!! Be the best or don’t play at all!

9. Be confident. Stay humble, but be confident. Keeping your head down won’t get you anywhere.…don’t be afraid to step on some toes!!!

10. Don’t get comfortable. The minute you let your guard down, someone newer, younger, and thirstier is waiting to take your place.

Traveling Microphones And Headphones Record A Strong Message For Peace From Unknown Street Artists (Awesome Video!)

This awesome vid was taken from the award-winning documentary, “Playing For Change: Peace Through Music”. And it all started with a couple of microphones and headphones.

In this video, a street musician called Roger Ridley from Santa Monica, California, sings the classic ‘Stand By Me’ with guitar. It then moves on to New Orleans, Louisiana with Grandpa Elliot, a blind singer, adding vocals and harmonica while listening to Ridley’s track on headphones. And it snowballs from there…

Street musicians band together from across Europe, Africa and South America to send out a message of peace and love to the world. It’s a must watch from start to end!

Music does connect us all.

Now it’s your turn to connect this music to your loved ones! (over 23million have! :) )

Hope you had goosebumps! :)

Are You Your Things? David Hoffman Lost It All But Still Had The Answer To That Question

When we lose something, our heart aches. There is an emptiness, a void, that was once occupied, like losing your dog or wallet, a sentimental album, or a lover.

David Hoffman, America’s veteran documentary filmmaker, lost his entire home to a fire in 2008. And with it, 40-years of his private collection and memoirs of his life went up in flames.

This was what he had to say…

And this was what he wrote about his lost:

A fire can put a man out but it did not put him under.
Where I keep my things after my fire.
Fire be not proud.
My hideaway room
Where my burned-out things are kept.
How I survived my fire.
Fire destroyed his house — but not his creative spirit.
Fire things.

- Documentary Filmmaker, David Hoffman

If you know someone who’s lost something recently, share this with them. Let them know they’ll be ok.

3 Cool Tips From A Professional Artist On Hitting Your Peak Creativity (No Drugs Involved)

Awesome video from artist Suran Song about her creative process and how she uses the forces of the world’s vibrations, sounds, and images to discover parts of herself and align her artistic being with her career and life.

Listen carefully to watch she says and you’ll pick up some amazing tips on how to get into your peak creative state.

YouTube Preview Image
  1. Meditate — by meditating you tap into vast and unused resources within your mind. Even if you spend just 10 minutes a day meditating, you’ll be amazed by the clarity and focus you’ll receive.
  2. Play with nature — make the rocks, trees, and flowers your friend. Try to sense the vibrations, colors, and sounds of the things you’re studying. Different colors will have different charges and different vibrations.
  3. Gesture drawings — 30 second to 1 minute drawings to get your skill and creativity flowing. Don’t think, just draw and you’ll be surprised with what comes out. Keep a sketchbook or journal and record these.

What do you do to get into peak creativity? Drop a comment and we can’t wait to use your ideas :-)

A Little Reminder Of Your Own Inner Greatness — By Marianne Williamson

If you’ve got big BUTs that limit your life, read this poem and know that you are limitless by nature…

Inspiration

by Marianne Williamson in “A Return To Love”

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear
is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I
to be brilliant and gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people
won’t feel insecure around you.
We are meant to shine as children do.
We were born to make manifest
the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some of us: it’s in everyone.
And, as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
