64 WAYS TO MAKE 2010 YOUR BEST YEAR YET by: Robin S. Sharma


1. Remember that leadership isn't about your position. It's about your influence.
2. Get fit like a pro athlete.
3. Lift people up versus tearing people down.
4. Protect your good name. An impeccable reputation takes a lifetime to build. And 60 seconds to lose.
5. Surround yourself with positive, ethical people who are committed to excellence.
6. Remember that even a 1% daily innovation rate amounts to at least a 100% rate of innovation in 100 days.
7. Believe in your dreams (even when others laugh at them).
8. Measure your success, not by your net worth but by your self worth (and how happy you feel).
9. Take an intelligent risk every 24 hours. No try-No Win.
10. Read "Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist".
11. Watch "Man on Wire".
12. Regardless of your title at work, be a team builder.
13. Remember that business is all about relationships and human connections.
14. Say "please" more.
15. Say "thank you" more.
16. Know your Big 5: the five things that need to happen by the end of this year for you to feel its been your best year yet.
17. Read your Big 5 every morning while the rest of the world is asleep.
18. Read "As You Think". At least twice this year.
19. Be willing to fail. It's the price of greatness.
20. Focus less on making money and more on creating value.
21. Spend less, save more.
22. Leave everything you touch better than you found it.
23. Be the most positive person in every room you're in.
24. Run your own race.
25. Stay true to your deepest values and best ideals.
26. Write a handwritten thank you note to a customer/friend/loved one every day.
27. When you travel, send love letters to your kids on hotel stationary. In time, they'll have a rich collection to remember your travels by.
28. Read "Atlas Shrugged".
29. Be a problem solver versus a trouble maker.
30. Rather than doing many things at mediocrity do just a few things-but at mastery.
31. Honor your parents.
32. Commit to doing great work-whether anyone notices it or not. It's one of life's best sources of happiness.
33. Give more than you receive (another of the truths of happiness).
34. Have your 1/3/5/10/25 years goals recorded on paper and review them weekly.
35. Be patient. Slow and steady wins the race. The only reason businesses that went from zero to a billion in a year or two get featured in magazines is because 99% of businesses require a lot more time to win.
36. Underpromise and then overdeliver.
37. See part of your job as "a developer of people" (whether you work in the boardroom or the mailroom).
38. Wear your heart on your sleeve. When people see you're real, they'll fall in love with you.
39. Be authentic versus plastic.
40. Read "The Alchemist".
41. Remember that life wants you to win. So get out of your own way.
42. Consider that behind every fear lives your next level of growth (and power).
43. Eat less food.
44. Drink more water.
45. Rest when you need to.
46. Read "SUCCESS" magazine.
47. Write your eulogy and then live your life backwards.
48. Demand the best from yourself.
49. Remember that the more you go to your limits, the more your limits will expand.
50. See everything that happens to you as an opportunity to grow (and therefore, as a precious gift).
51. Be obsessed with learning and self-development.
52. Become comfortable alone (you are the only person you get to be with your whole life).
53. Smile. It's a stunningly effective way to win in business and life.
54. Reflect on the shortness of life.
55. Be bold when it comes to your dreams but gentle with those you love.
56. Remember that success is dangerous because it can kill drive/innovation/passion and going the extra mile. Be successful yet stay hungry.
57. Read "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin".
58. Be of deep value to this world.
59. Own beautiful things but don't let them own you.
60. Use excellent words.
61. Laugh more.
62. Don't complain, gossip or be negative.
63. Plan as if you'll live forever but live as if you'll die tomorrow.
64. Feel free to pass these lessons on to those you want to help.

Maurice Carter's Innocence! debuts at the Fringe Festival July 2-July 11

Just imagine...just imagine being at the wrong place at the wrong time...and then being wrongly accused for a crime you did NOT commit and serve time in prison for 29 years! the play Maurice Carter's Innocence, written by Donald Molnar & Alicia Payne, tells the story of a man that has experienced this and Unfortunately this is a true story even for many today. What is beautiful is this play tells the story of a beautiful friendship that develops and the constant hope and endurance that is needed to withstand such a trial and an error of wrongful accusations...I am blessed to have been chosen to be apart of the cast as a chorus member working with some amazing actors. It would be wonderful to see you there and for you to witness a great play! See you there

the A.M.Y. Project

HELLOGOODMORNING! as pdiddy says on his tweets that I receive, well every minute...it's been a little over a month since i last posted...I am greatful for all the connections with amazing people young and old that re-affirms this world has alot of beautiful people in it! I recently finished a mentoring year with the A.M.Y. Project (Artists Mentoring Youth) which is a collective of young woman from different backgrounds fusing their talents together, learning life skills and socialization under the leadership of Claire Calnan and Weyni Mengesha. The young woman are paired with an artist mentor within the community which provides creative guidance on their individual stories expressed through different mediums such as spoken word, song and dance and then weaved into a collective piece with the other woman...what an inspiration! I wish I had this as a teen...This year is their 5th year anniversary and they have released a mixtape of which i had the pleasure of droppin some dimes on it and accompanying other alumni artists on it as well...It is a great piece of work and looking forward to future productions of the AMY project movement. stay tuned from photos and music samples from the mixtape...any questions about the project contact: whoisamynow@yahoo.com

Soul Muffins

It's a tradition, a ritual and a way of survival really...I need something quick, easy to grab n' go if  I'm on the run, or just a midnight snack. I usually sing when in the process of folding all the ingredients, which makes the muffins extra rich in energy...really! So for those of you who I know, or don't know that stumbled upon this blog by sheer curiosity, i will be sharing with you my Soul Muffin recipe...Soul is not for me alone so I'm okay with giving away my recipe for gold. Please enjoy and let me know how it turned out. - 
Ania Soul Muffins

2 Ripe Bananas
1 cup Almond Milk
1/2 cup oil (olive, sunflower or what u like)
1tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup molasses

2cups Whole Wheat or Spelt Flour
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup cane sugar or 1/2 cup maple syrup (if using maple syrup add it to the wet ingredients above :)
1 tsp baking pwdr
1 tsp baking soda
a dash of salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves 
1/2 cup walnuts and raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees C, and grease muffin sheet that holds twelve muffins. Mix the wet ingredients and then the dry ingredients separately and then combine. With all ingredients combined Mix, not for too long just till the dry ingredients is wet. Spoon the batter into each muffin tin... and bake for 20mins...after that let cool on a cooling rack, enjoy with or without butter. This lasts a few days outside of the fridge in a sealed container. This is usually my midnight snack when i'm playing my guitar or listening to new music.
