Phil McGraw  
 
Why? Deal Breakers, Toxic Relationships to the curb and "how's that working for ya" reality checks!
 
Dr. Phil McGraw has galvanized millions of people to "get real" about their own behavior and create more positive lives.
Dr. Phil has a B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from North Texas State University with a dual area of emphasis in clinical and behavioral medicine. He is a licensed clinical psychologist

 
Why? Modern shamanic teachings: intuition through introspection.
 
Dr. Wayne Dyer is affectionately called the "father of motivation" by his fans. Despite his childhood spent in orphanages and foster homes, Dr. Dyer has overcome many obstacles to make his dreams come true. Today he spends much of his time showing others how to do the same.

Robert Kiyosaki
 
Why? Our thoughts about money shape our lives!
 
I had two dads - a rich one and a poor one.
One dad was highly educated and intelligent; he had a Ph.D. and had completed four years of under-graduate work in less than two years. He then went to Stanford University, the University of Chicago, and Northwestern University to do his advanced studies. All on full, financial scholarships.

My other dad never finished the eighth grade.

Both men were successful in their careers, working hard all their lives. Both earned substantial incomes.

Yet one dad struggled financially all his life and the other dad would become one of the richest men in Hawaii.

One died leaving tens of millions of dollars to his family, charities, and his church. The other left a legacy of unpaid bills.

Both men were strong, charismatic, and influential. Both men offered me advice, but they did not advise the same things.

Christopher Reeves
Why? Most of us wear our handicap on the inside!
 
"What I do is based on powers we all have inside us; the ability to endure; the ability to love, to carry on, to make the best of what we have – and you don’t have to be a ‘Superman’ to do it."   
Christopher Reeve was an extraordinary father, a loving husband, a human rights advocate, an avid adventurer, an environmentalist, an author, a director, and an accomplished pianist. He was also a pilot who had made two solo trips across the Atlantic, a outdoor enthusiast who skied, sailed, scuba dived, played tennis, and canoed alone into the wilderness.
 
Pralyzed from a spinal cord injury so severe, that his first lucid thought was that it might be better for everyone if he were to die.
"When Dana whispered those life-saving words to me, ‘You’re still you. And I love you,’ it meant more to me than just a personal declaration of faith and commitment. In a sense it was an affirmation that marriage and family stood at the center of everything, and if both were intact, so was your universe."
Christopher defied conventional wisdom. As a result of his courage, determination, international renown, and his conviction that ‘nothing is impossible,’ Christopher initiated a sea of change.

"When the first Superman movie came out, I gave dozens of interviews to promote it. The most frequent question was: What is a hero? My answer was that a hero is someone who commits a courageous action without considering the consequences. Now my definition is completely different. I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. They are the real heroes, and so are the families and friends who have stood by them."

Cesar Milan  
 
Why? He shows how my relationships with animals mirror my relationships with humans.
 
Cesar Millan works like a dog to help beloved pets. His keen ability to communicate with and influence pets has made him a much-sought after expert in dog rehabilitation. His “Power of the Pack” method can change almost any problem dog into a pleasant pooch.

Christine Northrup
 
Why? Her teachings empowers women's wisdom in the old ways.
  • What would your life be like if you learned how to respect your body as though it were a precious creation—as valuable as a beloved friend?
  • What if you no longer lived in fear of germs or cancer?
  • What would happen if you truly trusted your body’s messages?

Noted author and visionary Dr. Christiane Northrup asks us to ponder these questions because she finds that lasting health and wholeness are only possible when we discover and practice behaviors associated with true health and wholeness. Dr. Northrup believes that the time to listen to our body’s wisdom is now!

“Once you engage your own inner wisdom, you can change or improve your habits of thought, your emotions, and your behaviors . . . and create a more positive and joyful life experience right away,” Dr. Northrup says. “This process, when engaged in regularly, heals both your present and your future.”

Mattie Stephanik
 
Why? The quality of our lives is not measure by the days we live, nothing stopped him.
 
Mattie J.T. Stepanek born Jul 17, 1999,  was a young man who was born with a rare neuromuscular disease called dysautonomic mitochondrial myopathy. His disease is one of the 43 types of diseases being researched by the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Since the age of three, Mattie has been dictating, recording, and writing poetry, short stories, and essays about many topics, such as grief, nature, love, disability, hope, life, and peace.
 
What matters to Mattie: "Praying and playing, and celebrating life every day in some way."
Mattie's motto: "Think gently, speak gently, live gently."
Mattie's philosophy: "Remember to play after every storm."
How Mattie wants to be remembered: As a "Poet, Peacemaker, and Philosopher Who Played"

Mattie also feels very blessed just to be alive at age 13. Children born with his disease do not usually live very long. Mattie knows that each day is a gift, and he makes the most of it. He says he gets his strength from God and his mom, and also from the people that become part of his circle of life. "People tell me I inspire them. And that inspires me. It's a beautiful circle, and we all go around together, with and for each other. What a gift," says Mattie.
 
Mattie Transitioned to the other side June 2004. Mattie's Service dog, Micah continues to help Mattie's Mom.

Most Favorite Shows

Cavalia
 
Why?    Its the most beautiful demonstation of equine and human relationship I have ever seen!
 
For the first time on stage, the equestrian arts are infused with unprecedented magic and emotion in Cavalia, an innovative multimedia extravanza.
Homeage to the poignant history and fascinating bond between human beings and horses, Cavalia is a poen written in the language of sound, image, and extraordinary performance.
 
Blending dramatic visual effects, live music, dance and acrobatics with the bold presence of over thrirty magnificant horses including the incredible Lusitanian stallions.
Truely Cavalia raises the bar for spectacular enetertainment in the 21st century.
 

Cirque du Soleil
 
Why? The incredible combination of music, acrobatics and visuals and they are actively working for the 7 generations to come!
 
Cirque du Soleil Artists performed their shows in the street. If their dream eventually came true—a dream built on boldness, risk and imagination—it was partly because there were older people who believed in them, regardless of their age, image or status as street performers.
 
The rationale and values behind Cirque's social action are grounded in this history where youth, risk, dreams and marginality come together for a better world. Now that Cirque du Soleil has the international reach to forge alliances the world over, it has chosen to commit itself to helping youth in difficulty, especially street kids
