Honored by Hay House as one of their 2010 “Movers and Shakers.” Lisa Michaels, is a celebrated Elemental Wisdom Teacher, Speaker, Expert on Holistic Living and Author of “Natural Rhythms”. David shares how his journey was deeply impacted by the work he did with an Elemental Wisdom Teacher and how his connection with the natural realm has been instrumental in his own success. In Lisa Words….. I began helping people deepen their spirituality, activate their inner priest/ess, navigate transformation, and learn to connect to the natural world so they could use their inner guidance to more consciously create their lives. An enormous part of these teachings has been discovering how the masculine and feminine principles learn to co-create together, both inside and out. When these two aspects work well together in a person’s life their creation dance becomes more filled with grace and ease “Creation tools work exactly the same way no matter what it is we apply them to: better relationships, health, business building, increasing income, dancing through life, or living in harmony with Nature. Just like the physical art of dancing, dancing with the principles of creation takes practice” [ilink url=”http://www.thekickasslife.com/lma” style=”download”]Click here for more information on Lisa Michaels and Natural Rhythms[/ilink]...

“When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.” – Zig Ziglar Join David as he explores what it took for Roger Bannister to break a record that the experts said could never be broken, and what it takes to shift your mindset so that you can break your own records. On May 6th, 1954, an unidentified announcer gave the results for the recently completed race in a track and field meet being held at Oxford University. As he uttered “In the one-mile run, with a first place winning time of three-minutes …,” the crowd interrupted him, cheering in sheer excitement. The winner of the race, the new world record holder and the first person to finish a mile in less than four minutes was Dr. Roger Bannister – a young medical student from Oxford University. His official time, once the crowd permitted the announcer to continue, was 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds. In the years following Dr. Bannister’s May 6, 1954 feat, hundreds of runners have run sub-four-minute miles (and some runners have achieved the feat hundreds of times themselves). In fact, later in May 1954, John Landy, a miler from Australia, also ran the mile in less than four minutes – lowering the world record for the mile to 3:58.0. As of today, men over the age of 30 have run miles in less than four minutes as well as men over the age of 40. There are even women within striking distance of the sub-four-minute milestone. Currently, the world record is more than 15 seconds under four minutes. However, prior to Dr. Bannister’s accomplishment, few believed that a human would ever break the four-minute-mile barrier. Experts from the athletic, medical and scientific community regarded running a sub-four-minute mile as an insurmountable limitation of the human body. After all, the previous world record of 4:01.3 had stood unchanged for nine years. Despite what the experts said, Bannister thought otherwise. In his mind, it was not a question of whether or not someone could run a sub-four-minute mile. For Bannister the questions to be answered were “who” and “when.” Bannister believed that someone would break the four-minute barrier. He believed that he was capable of doing it. He believed that his unique training methods would enable him to do it. And, in the end, his convictions and confidence carried him to world-renowned prominence. Video...
