  The dream you are living is your creation. It is your
  perception of reality that you can change at any time. You have the power to
  create hell, and you have the power to create heaven. Why not dream a different
  dream? Why not use your mind, your imagination, and your emotions to dream
  heaven?

  – Don Miguel Ruiz

  When it comes to
  living, you have two options: you can use it to empower yourself, or you can use
  it to disempower yourself. There are no other choices. Every day you empower or
  disempower yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Every day you
  either empower or disempower yourself in your relationship to yourself, your
  relationships with others, professionally, financially … you name it, the
  choice is always the same.

  One simple rule
  governs the entire empowerment process: Where you start is where you end up.
  What you focus on is what you get. Its that simple.

  We all get caught
  in the race of continually destroying our present peace of mind for the sake of
  some goal in the future. What were really doing, however, is teaching ourselves
  habits of discontent, fear, and anxiety that only breed more of the same.
  

  When we think
  negative thoughts, we act them out and create reality in our inner image. Put
  psychologically, we act subconsciously in ways that end up fulfilling our fears.
  Put energetically, we draw to ourselves what we focus on. If we focus on our
  lacks, thats just what we get: more lack. Similarly, if we focus on ill health,
  we get more of it. But if we focus on feeling that we have and are what we want,
  we invite what we want to come into our reality. We invite outer reality to
  match inner reality.

  Were on our way,
  all of us, together, into effortless freedom, power and abundance. Lets go!

  He Poos Clouds Final Fantasy 2006

  It’s you’re tempted to ignore the album He Poos Clouds
  because of the silly title, give the record a chance. The brainchild of Owen
  Pallett, who is primarily a violinist and string arranger, Final Fantasy’s
  second record is a challenging, baroque pop record, at once playful and
  ambitious. Each song features multiple instruments that are usually used in
  supporting roles in contemporary pop -a violin here, a harpsichord there. Always
  trying to keep up with the seemingly disparate vocals, at times, it seems as if
  this music was never intended to be put to words, its challenging and ambitious
  intentions having been co-opted by some wandering singer (Pallett himself) who
  seems to have snuck up to the orchestra and tossed off some lyrics he’d been
  carrying around in his head for who knows how long.

  “Possible
  possibilities for a date include / A shooting range,” Pallett croons on the
  opening track “The Arctic Circle” before revealing that “she’s got a heart that
  will never melt.” Meanwhile, the strings jolt back and forth and backing vocals
  struggle for air time. The song is halfway between paranoid and epic, Jean-Paul
  Sartre meets Andrew Lloyd Weber, and the strings rise and rise into the final,
  dark conclusion of it all: “Your rock and roll, has gone away.” For the next
  nine tracks, it is indeed clear that rock and roll has left the building.
  Disgruntled classical prodigies and fractured images of pop’s vocal front men
  have taken its place, creating an effect that is as fun house-ready as it is
  silver screen-tilted.

  Yet closer listens to what is actually going on
  here may be a far darker experience. “I’m Afraid of Japan” finds Pallett telling
  tales of “Jenna [who] dreams of being physically able / To behead herself at the
  dining room table.” And the upbeat piano intro of “This Lamb Sells Condos”
  belies the dark images contained within: dying communities and doomed marriages.
  Despite this, the record still retains a light tone in the way the best pop
  manages to sneak darkness into each dose of sugar. He Poos Clouds is
  unique in its quirky combination of chamber-influenced arrangements and
  eccentric lyrics, and its haunting melodies are difficult to get out of your
  head.
