The Power Of Positive

Listen to "The Power Of Positive" on Spreaker. I've developed this horrid habit of reading the headlines before preparing my imagination for a full day of writing and producing. During this Social Distancing I've remained very disciplined about being up at 4:30am. Take that walk first thing through late night becoming early morning. I view the moon and the stars while listening to the owls and all other things beginning to wake. Then I poison the moment with headlines from CNN.com, ABCNews.com and everything local. While picking up my writing instrument its wham! I hit a wall so thick that being a free form thinker during my date with stream thinking breaks a part by the poison caused by sensationalism. You never know how important your Martial Arts studies are until the moments of Positive Thinking are invited to the parade. But its only a tool. You can't buy it at Home Depot or have it delivered by Amazon. It's a tool. More than ever its needed during this lingering shutdown. Sadly the power of positive thinking is worthless if you don't activate it. Anyone can bring up a happy thought. It works like ice cream. Up you go for a moment and boom biff bam you've fallen again. On this podcast episode we take a walk through this very subject. I've never hidden the truth about my positive thinking. There are people that just can't stand it because to them it looks fake by way of acting out something so that others don't see the truer colors. Winning is a choice. So is being in a bad mood. Uncertainty is a horrible place to be sitting in everyday. Especially since the news people are laying out the bricks for a path that could send us through the greatest economic depression of all time. How does positive thinking work in this atmosphere? Tools break and positive thinking is one of the first to go. Prayer and meditation right? If you knew how many people tell me that doing it requires too much work and time. We want to be fixed now. Here's what always works. Gratefulness. All of your pieces parts are brought back together. Gratefulness begins with being mindful of everything around you. My computer crashed in a big way this morning. I lost an hour in a half of work. Yep. Start all over! In that down time I sat in my dining room with school teacher wife who was five minutes from starting class. We shared breakfast together. The little stuff man! Be grateful for the almost invisible mundane stuff. It does amazing things for the mind body and soul that's been poisoned by so much gone wrong. The headlines aren't going away. The power of positive thinking will always be available but it becomes a minute by minute choice to really believe in its activation. Yeah I know too much work. Gratefulness always wins.

Debi Mazar

Listen to "Debi Mazar From The Series Arde Madrid Burn Madrid Burn" on Spreaker. MHz Networks' SVOD service, MHz Choice, will premiere critically-acclaimed dramedy Arde Madrid: Burn Madrid Burn on May 5, 2020. Directed by Paco León, best known as the director of the feature film April 9th, Arde Madrid: Burn Madrid Burn is set in Franco's Madrid in 1961. Shot in Spain, the 8 episode series stars Debi Mazar, Paco Leon and Inma Cuestra. Based loosely on actress and Hollywood star Ava Gardner's (Debi Mazar) move to Madrid, to flee her husband Frank Sinatra, Metro Goldwyn Mayer, and the paparazzi that followed her everywhere and made her life impossible. In Madrid her only goal is to have as much fun as possible. Extremely beautiful, captivating, intelligent, sexy and free, Ava always does exactly as she pleases, not tied down either romantically or professionally. Her life is completely different to that of Spanish woman around her. Ana Mari (Inma Cuesta), a loyal, conservative spinster with a limp, who teaches young ladies how to be good housewives and mothers, is ordered by Franco to go work as a maid at Gardner's house in order to spy on her. To do so she will have to pretend to be married to Manolo (Paco León), a petty thief and cocky opportunist, who will become the actress' chauffeur. Full of himself, thuggish and hard faced, Manolo soon finds himself involved in dodgy dealings with the underworld. Ava and Manolo's liberal lifestyle are the exact opposite of Ana Mari's moral code. Whether it's the all-night parties that rob their neighbor, exiled Argentinian dictator Juan Perón, of his cherished sleep, or bringing a wasted Ava back to life after nights with the local Dolce Vita crowd at Madrid's hippest clubs, in all the turmoil, Ana Mari finds herself loosening up and beginning to fall for the craziness as she is compelled to make decisions that shake her solid ideological foundations. Produced in Spain for Telefonica's Movistar Plus, it quickly became the streaming platform's most binged series after its release. Paco Leon directed, co-wrote with Anna R. Costa and stars in the series along with Inma Cuestra and American actress Debi Mazar (Entourage, Younger). "We loved everything about this series from the minute we first saw it," said Frederick Thomas, CEO and President of MHz Networks. "The decision to film in black and white really paid off. It vividly captured the Dolce Vita lifestyle of Gardner and the colorful characters of Madrid who surrounded her. For us it's golden, and we're delighted it found it's home on MHz Choice."

To Never Feel Empty

Listen to "To Never Feel Empty" on Spreaker. Bruce Lee is best known for his amazing Martial Arts skills. But he was never a master of one. Bill Gates will forever be remembered for helping to usher in the home computer generation. Was it what he mastered? What about your journey? Have you mastered something? My Martial Arts Master always informed us that it requires 100,000 repetitions in order to begin a journey of mastering something. If you are a brilliant kicker in class I don't expect you to be a great blocker or puncher. We are designed to master only one thing. Forty one years of radio. I am nowhere near what a Master Broadcaster should look and sound like. A daily writer for twenty six years and I truly expect Creative Writing teachers to rip my attempts apart. I created the podcast View From The Writing Instrument for one reason. To talk with writers. Hundreds of them. None the same. Have they mastered their skills? Those of us on this side of print might think so until you hear them personally talk about the journey. Are we supposed to be more like Bruce Lee and accomplish a lot by being just good enough? I know plenty of multi tasking hard working mind blowing people that can cover enormous amounts of space which makes others feel like they've done nothing. As we continue to grow toward the reopening of our incredibly awesome country you're gong to be challenged by a new layer of business decision maker. Thirty three million people unemployed right now. That's a ton of creative minds about to accept whatever it takes to keep their house a home. The invisible part of this present Coronavirus journey isn't the actual virus. Its how the decision makers in companies in question will handle the employee of tomorrow during their bouts with PTSD and other mental conditions they couldn't control but were totally bent into a new shape by this changing world. My wife's school provides work groups with mental professionals weekly. They're strengthening their staff without having to threaten their job. The next steps in getting over this mess to make sure you never feel empty. There'll be new measures put into place on if you need to wear a mask, have your temp checked and heavily spraying down your space. It should also include your business providing mental rebuilding at no cost. We can do this. We have what it takes. Knowing your strength isn't having a grip on how much work you can do. It's realizing how incredibly worthless you feel after a great day of busting ass and there's an huge list of expectations still ahead of you. That creates emptiness. No! Recognize the victory. Do all you can to never feel empty.
