Find The Greatness Within

2009-05-22T14:32:00.003-07:00

Many people want success, money, a nice home, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, if I could have just one thing, it would be for each man, woman, and child on this planet to realize the greatness that lies within them.

I believe that we all come into this world with all that we need to live a life of perfect abundance, peace, joy and love. We come into this world with a purpose and the gifts and abilities we need to fulfill that purpose.

We also come into this world with an inner compass and a map to guide us along our journey. The tragedy is that as we encounter more and more people in the world, we unconsciously accept what they say and do as "facts" about who we are.

These "facts" often lead us to believe that we are less than we are meant to be. These "facts" often leads us to believe we are not worthy of living the life we desire.

Yet the truth is that every thing we need is and always has been within us to live and experience the life we deserve and desire.

The time is now to reconnect and reclaim the greatness that lies within us. To reconnect to the courage, passion, and wisdom of our unconditionally loving hearts.

If each person on earth truly became aware of and believed that we are one, that we come from the same Divine source, and that what we do to one we do to all including ourselves, do you think we would be so quick to pick up a gun against another?

Would we be so quick to put another down so that we may feel better about ourselves? Or might we, upon realizing the greatness of who we are, look for the greatness in others rather than what we "perceive" to be their flaws.

So many people try out of fear and in futility to change another to their way of viewing and being in the world. In so doing, the result is often needless conflict, suffering, and suppression of our true selves.

It has been my experience, that the more I have been connected to my own greatness (the wisdom, courage, passion and unconditional loving of my heart) the more people around me seemed to do things in a way that "was acceptable" to me.

You can spend many lifetimes trying to change the world, or you can connect to the greatness within you and change the world around you in an instant, simply because you are there.

Being that we have all been blessed with free will, we get to make a choice. I for one am choosing to step more boldly into my own greatness from this moment on in all that I think, speak and do. I lovingly encourage and invite you to do the same.

If we all made that choice right here, right now, in this moment, we would wake up to far a different world tomorrow morning. One of unconditional love for one another. A world of peace, joy, happiness, and well being for all. What choice will you make?

Pirate Swords and Other Swords Do They Exist

2009-05-22T14:32:00.001-07:00

Are there any authentic pirate swords left in the world? This is a really good question that may not have a concrete answer. Aside from those swords that are currently inside of museum showcases, a lot of dealers claim to sell authentic swords.

The problem is that most of these swords aren't authentic at all. In fact, some of them are simple replicas that aren't even good replicas. The other problem is that some truly authentic swords have been used as movie props. This might be good news for movie buffs, but it isn't great news for the true sword collector.

What's wrong with pirate swords that were used in films? Well, Hollywood has a way of altering everything that is used as a prop. So, a movie set sword may have an altered handle or a blade that doesn't actually cut. If you are going to buy a sword from a set, make sure to ask about all of those little details that are so very important. Also, take the time to really look at the sword you are going to buy. In fact, look very closely at any sword that you are thinking about purchasing.

If a sword truly is one of the very few authentic pirate swords in the world, then it won't be perfect. Any dealer that claims to sell authentic swords that aren't nicked is a dealer that is simply trying to take your money. Since a pirate sword was probably used in a fight of some sort, it is only natural that it will have a few scars. If a dealer claims to have one particular sword or another, find out if there are any identifying marks on the real sword - if the one that you are considering doesn't have those marks, then it's not real.

Unfortunately, there are far too many fake pirate swords being sold as authentic ones. This is bad news for any buyer that has spent more than $200 on a sword they thought was real. Ask a dealer for a certificate of authenticity, have the sword appraised, and always have some kind of refund policy written on paper. There are many great reasons why you would want to own a real pirate sword. This is particularly why purchasing a fake sword is so heart breaking. Make sure to do your research, heed the advice listed above, and always double check the authenticity of that sword.
