Over 10 years ago I began a personal quest to move on from real or imagined limitations going on in my Life.
In August 2002 I had an accident that caused me to heal physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, it also accelerated my desire to understand how man and the Universe co-exist.
Three years later in August 2005 I was guided to go to my office at home and write a couple of paragraphs on three different sheets of paper. I remember reading what I had written and thinking to myself this is “crazy, life can’t be this easy!”.
Eventually those paragraphs on those three sheets of paper became steps to a simple process that are Now called The Titus Concept.
The steps can be used in any area of your Life, but for my first book I decided to use them to guide others regarding money. So my first published book that was released in May 2006 was called The Titus Concept Money For My Best and Highest Good.
I continued to raise my level of awareness through mentors and spiritual guidance that I was being given. As my insights introduced me to a greater understanding, they confirmed that we are the ones who place limitations on ourselves by the false “truths” we have been influenced by or even accepted.
I have been blessed to continuously move forward and as I do…I also share the insights with thousands of others worldwide with my newsletters, speaking engagements, radio shows, and books.
BEing The Titus Concept is my newest book and in other posts in this blog you can read all of the endorsements that came in from seemingly everywhere.
But, here is the bottom line…
With every resource I have available my intention is to raise the level of awareness for as many people as possible so that they live and function from a Heart based consciousness, Love themselves unconditionally, release fear based values, and have the Lifestyle they desire and require.
With that intention fulfilled…I kNow that our world will BE a better place.

Making a Life or a living?
The difference between making a Life or making a living is enough that it means whether or not we live in fulfillment of our Heart’s desires.
I am making a Life by raising the level of awareness for all those who will listen, which in turn is fulfilling my desire to shift the focus away from fear based values.
It is ok to make a living if that is what you desire, but I prefer to make a Life, it is part of what keeps me going and moving forward.

The Sequel's Not Equal
by Alan Cohen
Movie theatres are glutted with follow-ups to blockbusters of previous years, like Men in Black 2, Austin Powers 3, and Star Wars 5. The business savvy behind a sequel is plain: if the masses paid millions to see the original film, they will flock back and pay millions more to see the next generation.
The thing about sequels, however, is that they rarely measure up to the original. I saw American Pie 2 and Scary Movie 2, two films whose ancestors were clever and hilarious. Unfortunately, the follow-ups suffered from rubber-stamp-itis, and I walked out of the theatre feeling hungry for the original sparkle.
Like movies, there are two ways to live a life: hiding out in history, or dancing on the cutting edge. History is safe, but reeks of regularity. The cutting edge seems scary, but it bestows life. You can copy what has been done, and in some cases you may succeed financially -- but at the same time you wither spiritually. Herein lies the challenge -- and invitation -- to a true creator.
After his original song Don't Worry, Be Happy became a mega-hit in the late 1980's, singer Bobby McFerrin spent several years touring the world performing the tune. And he could have gone on, except for one thing -- he got bored. "There was no life in performing the song any more," he admitted. "I was cheating my audiences and myself." So he stopped. Bobby took a few years off, developed his relationship with his children, studied with acclaimed cellist Yoyo Ma, and created an entirely new form of musical expression with an avant-garde group he called "Synchestra." I saw Bobby perform with Synchestra, and the show was electrifying. Although the audience waited and hoped to hear McFerrin perform Don't Worry, Be Happy, he never did. Way to go, Bobby.
Oprah Winfrey had to walk through the same initiation. After consistently winning Emmy Awards for her popular talk show for many years, Oprah decided it was time to take the program to a new level. "I had to move from a format based on dysfunction to one of self-actualization." When she told her producers she wanted to found her material on spiritual growth, they warned that she would lose her audience and sponsorship. She did it anyway. Now her show is more popular than ever, still garnering Emmys regularly. More important, Oprah can live with herself.
You can carve a career cranking out cookie-cutter products, but you cannot carve out a life that way. The only thing more important than making a living is making a life. Oliver Wendell Holmes suggested that anyone over age 60 change careers every few years. Why? Newness, challenge, and exploration bestow life force, and life force keeps us young and healthy. Unless you keep doing your work newer and better, you are dying in your profession. If you are not regenerating, you are degenerating.
I often speak at churches on Sunday mornings where I deliver a talk at each of two or three services. I rarely give the same talk at each of the services. I tried that once and felt bored. If a speaker feels bored, the audience doesn't stand a chance.
I heard about one famous speaker who delivered the same lecture, word for word, wherever he went, for many years. One morning he showed up at a large church to deliver a sermon to a thousand eager listeners. He had flown a long distance to get there, and he arrived minutes before the service. Ten minutes into his talk, the fellow began to slow down the pace of his lecture, and there grew gaps between his sentences. Then gaps between his words. Finally there was a long pause that went on for over 30 seconds. The lecturer fell asleep during his own address! Finally the resident minister gracefully tapped him on the shoulder. He awoke with a start, harrumphed, and continued his sermon from the word where he had left off.
The story is told about a young boy walking along a church corridor with his minister. The boy tugged at the minister's sleeve and asked, "Excuse me, Reverend -- What are those gold plaques on the wall with people's names on them?"
The minister looked down at the child and soberly told him, "Those are the names of people from our church who died in the service."
The child thought for a moment and asked, "Was that the 9 o'clock service or the 11 o'clock service?"
Take care that you do not die while performing your service. Someone asked a famous minister "What is the secret of your success?" His answer was simple: "I just set myself on fire and people watch me burn."
There is new fire in every day, and if you catch hold of it, you will brighten the lives of everyone you touch, beginning with your own. The greatest gift you have to offer is your presence, which you have only when you are present.

What in the World Are You Doing? by Chris Widener
I want to talk with you about leaving an impact legacy. "What is an impact legacy?" you may ask. It is how you impact people and the world around you. You see, many people glide through life and do not make much of an impact. That is unfortunate. Others though, those driven by a purpose and passion for living, are continually making the world a better place and making an impact wherever they go. That's what I believe you want to do.
In order to help you reflect on this during this week, I want to ask you a question: What in the world are you doing?
Here is the typical life - typical, though not everybody does it this way. But for the most part, people's lives generally go something like this:
You're born
You eat and sleep
You play with toys
You go to school
You play little league
You go to school
You learn to drive
You go to school
You leave high school
You go to more school, but you pay for it now
You get a job
You get married
You buy a house
You have kids
You watch your kids eat, sleep, play and go to school
You work, work, and work
You retire
You die
That's the basic life, isn't it? I know there is more to it, but that is about it for most people.
Here is that question again: What in the world are you doing?
I mean, what are you doing besides the typical "enjoying yourself while you are waiting to die" scenario? What kind of impact are you making?
What I believe sets the successful apart is that they don't just live the average life. They don't just pass time. They make an impact. They have something compelling in their life that drives them - something that gives them an answer when they are asked that question: What in the world are you doing?
I'm helping children.
I'm creating a business that supports many families.
I lead a church.
I am defending our liberties.
I am raising great children.
I'm teaching others to improve their lives.
I help people have fun.
I create memories for people.
In other words, successful people always come down to this:
I make an impact and help other people by (fill in your purpose here).
What in the world are you doing?
If you want to be successful, you need to be able to answer that by describing how you help others. Because if you aren't helping others - if you aren't making an impact - you are just taking up space, eating food and waiting to die.
Here's the question for you to answer this week and what to do with your answer:
What in the world are you doing?
If you know, then you are good to go - live it and make an impact!
If you don't know, then maybe you need to reflect on what you are doing, what your life is about, and how you can explode the mundane bubble you may be living in!
The world needs impact makers - so live to be one!

What is really going on?
I came across this excellent article by Marie Russell that I just had to share. What is going on in your external reality is a reflection of what is going on within you. The good thing is that there is something you can do about it. Read the article or even get my book 'BEing The Titus Concept'.

I Don't Care What They Say
by Marie T. Russell
How many times have you been hurt by what someone said about you? How many times have you doubted your self-worth because someone criticized you, either to your face or 'behind your back'?
Why do we react with such self-doubt or indignation when someone criticizes us, or says negative things about us?
I find that our reaction reflects our negative and limiting beliefs about ourselves. If someone said something 'bad' about you and you knew completely within every cell of your body that it was untrue, it would not bother you. You would simply shrug it off and it would roll off of you like water on a duck's back. The reason criticism upsets us is that we also, somehow, somewhere, deep within us believe it to be true -- or at least we wonder if it might be true.
Now your mind (ego) may rebel at this thought. Of course you don't believe such nasty things about yourself. But think back... How many times have you called yourself names when you made a mistake? Do you recall telling yourself how stupid you were? I know that on occasion when I have made an error, I would hear myself muttering 'You're such a idiot!'
So when someone says something 'negative' about you, use the opportunity to eradicate the same (or similar) belief you have about yourself or others. The other person's opinion does not matter in itself. It may simply reflect whatever judgments and feelings they have about themselves. But that does not concern you. Your only concern need be with how their statement reflects sub-conscious beliefs you have about yourself.
What I feel we need to do when someone 'badmouths' us is to first look at our reactions. That is what matters here. Not what the person said, not why they said it, not what we can say in our defense. What is important is our reaction. Does it anger us? Does it hurt us?
If your reaction is one of anger or hurt, be aware that anger and hurt are the ego's way of defending itself. So ask yourself, 'Where in my past have I heard this statement about myself? What belief has my subconscious accepted about me? Where does this hurt come from? Who can this belief be traced back to? What belief do I carry that resonates with what this person has said about me?'
Whatever negative statements someone makes about you may connect to some deeply hidden feelings of guilt that you have. Only you can uproot those beliefs you have formed and accepted throughout the years.
Ask yourself again and make a list: 'What are the things, even the tiny things, in my past or present that I feel guilty about?' And then write whatever trivial thoughts come to mind. Do not judge the thoughts that come up. Write them down even if you think they're stupid, silly, or inconsequential. It may be even some tiny thing like, "I took some candies from my friend when I was little and I pretended someone else stole them." That small action may have translated in your belief system into something like 'I am not trustworthy", "I am greedy", or "Friends can't be trusted".
In somewhat the same way, the thousands of commercials you have seen throughout the years of slim, sexy women (or men) may have translated into a belief that "I'm ugly if I'm not shaped like them." Life's experiences also form our beliefs. A divorce or relationship breaking up may have become a belief in being a failure and being undeserving of love.
Once you have your list of guilts, big and small, ask yourself and write down what belief you have formed from each one. You may be surprised at the results. Be willing to be 100% honest with yourself. The purpose is to look at the beliefs that you have formed throughout the years so you can transform them. Once you have the list of negative beliefs you have formed, then write the most positive belief you can think of to replace or reprogram each limiting belief.
Then really reflect and meditate on these lists. Look deep within and dig out any other beliefs and programs that are supporting those negative statements. Many times, these beliefs were implanted by parents, teachers, or siblings. We blindly accepted them as the truth, since they came from someone older and 'wiser' than us. Yet, it is time to acknowledge the real truth about ourselves and reject any beliefs that deny our true nature as children of the Light.
There is no need to create situations of unworthiness and unhappiness for ourselves. We can take every challenging experience as an opportunity to look within ourselves and clear out old limiting beliefs. Whatever we see 'out there' in the world is a reflection of what is 'in there' within our mind. If you see anger around you, ask yourself what you are angry about. If you see judgment and condemnation, look within and see how you also judge and condemn others (and yourself). It's not about the other person. It's about our own perspective and beliefs.
Dig deep, and you'll find those belittling beliefs and attitudes — then pull out the 'weeds'. You deserve to have a Garden of Eden within yourself and around you, not the weeds of judgment, disharmony, and self-condemnation. Love yourself and pull out the weeds, otherwise they may pop up at the most unexpected times and sabotage the most beautiful situations.
People often wonder why relationships start out so harmoniously and lovingly and then seem to sour as time goes by. A very simple explanation is that any relationship starts out with a clean slate. Then, as two people spend time with each other, each starts to become aware, consciously or subconsciously, of the other's 'weak points' and negative beliefs. Any situation or belief that brings up low self-esteem and self-judgments in one partner will be felt by the other. After a time, the second person starts to believe these untruths as well. For example, the husband may feel he has a very wonderful wife. Yet, if she constantly is putting herself down for being sloppy, ugly, unlovable, etc., then eventually the mate also starts believing these things. Thus, the relationship starts deteriorating because of one person's self-evaluation and judgments.
The partner's attitude becomes a reflection of the self-hate and low self-esteem of the other. Beliefs become stronger when reflected in another's eyes, and thus the "new reality" becomes stronger and can therefore destroy the beauty and love that was there at the beginning.
So, here again, the key is to dig up the limiting beliefs and eradicate them. They are poisonous and can poison relationships, job situations, and life itself. Take matters in your own hands, and only accept and nurture those beliefs that support your perfect health and happiness.

I Don't Care What They Say
by Marie T. Russell
How many times have you been hurt by what someone said about you? How many times have you doubted your self-worth because someone criticized you, either to your face or 'behind your back'?
Why do we react with such self-doubt or indignation when someone criticizes us, or says negative things about us?
I find that our reaction reflects our negative and limiting beliefs about ourselves. If someone said something 'bad' about you and you knew completely within every cell of your body that it was untrue, it would not bother you. You would simply shrug it off and it would roll off of you like water on a duck's back. The reason criticism upsets us is that we also, somehow, somewhere, deep within us believe it to be true -- or at least we wonder if it might be true.
Now your mind (ego) may rebel at this thought. Of course you don't believe such nasty things about yourself. But think back... How many times have you called yourself names when you made a mistake? Do you recall telling yourself how stupid you were? I know that on occasion when I have made an error, I would hear myself muttering 'You're such a idiot!'
So when someone says something 'negative' about you, use the opportunity to eradicate the same (or similar) belief you have about yourself or others. The other person's opinion does not matter in itself. It may simply reflect whatever judgments and feelings they have about themselves. But that does not concern you. Your only concern need be with how their statement reflects sub-conscious beliefs you have about yourself.
What I feel we need to do when someone 'badmouths' us is to first look at our reactions. That is what matters here. Not what the person said, not why they said it, not what we can say in our defense. What is important is our reaction. Does it anger us? Does it hurt us?
If your reaction is one of anger or hurt, be aware that anger and hurt are the ego's way of defending itself. So ask yourself, 'Where in my past have I heard this statement about myself? What belief has my subconscious accepted about me? Where does this hurt come from? Who can this belief be traced back to? What belief do I carry that resonates with what this person has said about me?'
Whatever negative statements someone makes about you may connect to some deeply hidden feelings of guilt that you have. Only you can uproot those beliefs you have formed and accepted throughout the years.
Ask yourself again and make a list: 'What are the things, even the tiny things, in my past or present that I feel guilty about?' And then write whatever trivial thoughts come to mind. Do not judge the thoughts that come up. Write them down even if you think they're stupid, silly, or inconsequential. It may be even some tiny thing like, "I took some candies from my friend when I was little and I pretended someone else stole them." That small action may have translated in your belief system into something like 'I am not trustworthy", "I am greedy", or "Friends can't be trusted".
In somewhat the same way, the thousands of commercials you have seen throughout the years of slim, sexy women (or men) may have translated into a belief that "I'm ugly if I'm not shaped like them." Life's experiences also form our beliefs. A divorce or relationship breaking up may have become a belief in being a failure and being undeserving of love.
Once you have your list of guilts, big and small, ask yourself and write down what belief you have formed from each one. You may be surprised at the results. Be willing to be 100% honest with yourself. The purpose is to look at the beliefs that you have formed throughout the years so you can transform them. Once you have the list of negative beliefs you have formed, then write the most positive belief you can think of to replace or reprogram each limiting belief.
Then really reflect and meditate on these lists. Look deep within and dig out any other beliefs and programs that are supporting those negative statements. Many times, these beliefs were implanted by parents, teachers, or siblings. We blindly accepted them as the truth, since they came from someone older and 'wiser' than us. Yet, it is time to acknowledge the real truth about ourselves and reject any beliefs that deny our true nature as children of the Light.
There is no need to create situations of unworthiness and unhappiness for ourselves. We can take every challenging experience as an opportunity to look within ourselves and clear out old limiting beliefs. Whatever we see 'out there' in the world is a reflection of what is 'in there' within our mind. If you see anger around you, ask yourself what you are angry about. If you see judgment and condemnation, look within and see how you also judge and condemn others (and yourself). It's not about the other person. It's about our own perspective and beliefs.
Dig deep, and you'll find those belittling beliefs and attitudes — then pull out the 'weeds'. You deserve to have a Garden of Eden within yourself and around you, not the weeds of judgment, disharmony, and self-condemnation. Love yourself and pull out the weeds, otherwise they may pop up at the most unexpected times and sabotage the most beautiful situations.
People often wonder why relationships start out so harmoniously and lovingly and then seem to sour as time goes by. A very simple explanation is that any relationship starts out with a clean slate. Then, as two people spend time with each other, each starts to become aware, consciously or subconsciously, of the other's 'weak points' and negative beliefs. Any situation or belief that brings up low self-esteem and self-judgments in one partner will be felt by the other. After a time, the second person starts to believe these untruths as well. For example, the husband may feel he has a very wonderful wife. Yet, if she constantly is putting herself down for being sloppy, ugly, unlovable, etc., then eventually the mate also starts believing these things. Thus, the relationship starts deteriorating because of one person's self-evaluation and judgments.
The partner's attitude becomes a reflection of the self-hate and low self-esteem of the other. Beliefs become stronger when reflected in another's eyes, and thus the "new reality" becomes stronger and can therefore destroy the beauty and love that was there at the beginning.
So, here again, the key is to dig up the limiting beliefs and eradicate them. They are poisonous and can poison relationships, job situations, and life itself. Take matters in your own hands, and only accept and nurture those beliefs that support your perfect health and happiness.

Free to soar
Last night I was interviewed by host Llenar Bragg of No Out There talk radio. The show was very free flowing and we talked about miracles, BEing different, and I even read the last page of my new book ‘BEing The Titus Concept’ about surrendering or letting go.
As I was reading to the audience I felt something tangible of letting go to the point where I was making sure I wouldn’t get all choked up. I knew as I was reading that I was letting go and trusting my book with the Universe.
Here is the link to listen:

With all that is
During the Ilumine Ao radio show on Sunday we talked about energies that are available to all of us. Part of it dealt with facing certain directions, nature, and even the wind. As my understanding of these types of different energies grew I realized that as I walk out into my backyard I am facing east and also looking at my small forest of trees. That environment has provided some amazing inspiration and insights for me, and the feeling of sacredness.
After the show my wife and I took it easy and relaxed, and just enjoyed the view, nature, and the trees, even the wind seemed to communicate even more so with me all day long.
I felt totally blessed and one with all that is…inspired to trust and kNow that there is much support for the message I am bringing forth for the best and highest good of all…
"The Titus Concept is a simple, easy, yet deeply profound method to help release emotional blocks that maybe in the way of accepting and loving yourself. This is little book is pack loaded with powerful tools everyone can use to reach their goals and live abundantly. Al's writing is inspiring, motivating and uplifting. A definitely must have to anyone on a journey towards balance, harmony and inner peace."
Char Ravelo, Publisher of Inspiration, Hawaii's Wellness Journal, and Founder of Kaua'i Wellness Expo
"BEing The Titus Concept enables the reader to remember things that were taught an early age, like the golden rule. In time we become overwhelmed with all the complications and cynicism of life and it’s challenges, reading this book is like a reawakening of wonder and hope. We have always possessed the ability to control our own destiny if we just step into the silence of our mind and listen to our heart speak its truth. Thank you for this wonderful gift.”
