We're creating a place for people to change their inner world

About Gary

 I was miserable and unhappy. I was a victim of my thoughts and beliefs. I was unconsciously living by the programs of family, society, and other people's opinions. I struggled to succeed based on the opinions and beliefs of others. I was working for others, unconsciously hoping to gain recognition and a sense of feeling good enough. When this didn't happen, I began to realize the depth to which my mind had me hypnotized by the thoughts and beliefs I had acquired from others. 

I made a disturbing discovery.  -  I couldn't trust my mind. 

The very mind that I had relied on for years to make decisions and guide me was the source of some self-sabotaging decisions.  I didn't even know the extent of the problem or how to change it. But I knew I had to. I would later learn these types of thoughts were arising from my unconscious beliefs. 

I decided to change my decision-making process and be happy no matter what. Even if I didn't know how long it would take, how to do it. I refused to continue to live in the misery my mind was making for me, and I would do anything to change it. I felt that commitment rise in me like a force as it was the most important decision of my life. 

I met my mentor and guide, Don Miguel Ruiz, two weeks later. He went on to write best-selling books like The Four Agreements. I studied closely with Miguel for many years. I traveled with him to Mexico, Bali, Egypt, and many other places. I would also spend casual time with him and his family.  His guidance and support for my journey and transformation have blessed me beyond what I had known possible. I can not pay him back. I can only pay it forward by sharing with others what I have learned. 

The journey is a process of developing self-awareness skills and gathering personal power to change the automated programs of your mind so that you can be happy and fulfilled. 

What started as a desire to escape misery turned into so much more. A heart-centered way of living in expanded consciousness and with access to love and joy within that I didn't know existed before.

Today, my life is about guiding others in making the changes they want to their inner world through online training and events around the world.
