      In the Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton, we learn the amazing properties and abilities of the brain.  We also become aware that we have just begun uncovering the power of the mind.  We’ve learned the brain processes events, but perhaps, it is the mind that internalizes them.

  In the Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton, we learn the amazing properties and abilities of the brain.  We also become aware that we have just begun uncovering the power of the mind.  We’ve learned the brain processes events, but perhaps, it is the mind that internalizes them. 
     When we read about the success of people who have risen from poverty to riches, professionals and laymen are baffled by this “mountain climbing” strength.  Oprah Winfrey (Harpo/OWN), Larry Ellison (Oracle), Tom Cruises (Actor), Victor Frankl (Author, Man’s Search for Meaning), Wayne Brady (Entertainer/Comedian), Jim Carry (Actor), and Helen Keller (Activists) are just a few who have overcome adversity and overwhelming odds. 
     What inside of some chooses success instead of failure, financial independence instead of poverty?  How do you find the strength to climb the mountains in your life? 
     It helps to believe that what does not kill you will make you stronger. 
     To prepare to climb the mountain in your life, your preparation while still in base camp is critical.  Before you start the climb, you have to:
Heal Your Addictions.

When we think of addictions, we often think of addictions to substances, such as drugs, alcohol and perhaps gambling.  But I’m talking about more common addictions. 
1st Addiction  - The Addition to Idle Conversations, most commonly referred to as Gossip.
The 23rd number of Psalms gives us an important safety tip.  While in the valley of death, we are cautioned to walk through the valley of the shadow of death.  It does not say stop, collect $200, take pictures, knit a sweater, gossip, judge others.  While in the valley experiences of our life, we seem to enjoy pointing out the mistakes of others.  It is said that people with extraordinary minds talk about ideas, people with average minds talk about events, but people with simple minds talk about other people.  Which are you?      Make sure you spend your 525,600 minutes talking about love, joy.  All of your conversations should be healing, inspiring and uplifting. 
2nd Addiction – FEAR –
     We are satisfied to make verbal declarations about the goodness of God.  But the state of our lives seems to reflect a different reality.  In one breath, we are blessed and highly favored, but in the next, our conversations are filled with some form of lack, limitation, sickness, and poverty.  Today, spend no more time thinking you don’t have what it takes to live your dreams.  You must start to believe in the magic you can create.
The last addiction you must heal before leaving base camp is:
3rd Addiction – Limited Imagination  -
We have been mesmerized by tales of woe and have become card-carrying members of the International Alliance of Misery.  We are constantly using our power of imagination to create trials and tribulations. 
     We have learned that quantum physicists have concluded that everything in our universal plane is interconnected and made up of energy.  Your power of imagination, or visualization, creative or otherwise, is the answer. 
    Once you have made these changes, your life will begin to improve dramatically.  With the use of our imagination and belief, we can develop mountain climbing strength and conquer adversity.        
     It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishment the scroll, I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.  Remember, life is too short to drink cheap champagne.  See you at the top.
    Dream Big!  Live the life you have imagined. 

     Remember, life is too short to drink cheap champagne.
