In “The Master Key System,” Charles Haanel asserts that “when Truth appears every form of error or discord must necessarily disappear.” He created a mantra that touches every aspect of self improvement:

“I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious, and happy.”

Wow! Now THAT is saying something worth saying. But I was having a helluva time remembering it, which made it a mantra I couldn’t repeat without stumbling…

So I approached it as if I were still an educator, and I was my own pupil. I realized that this list is a hierarchy of need (with wholeness as the foundation upon which all other expressions of positivity rest). With this in mind I created the following explanation for myself, and now I can recite The Perfect Affirmation just fine:

• Being whole implies not only totality and completeness, but also integration and proper function. If all seven components of wellness (click here to see them) are balanced, then wholeness is achieved. This wholeness then becomes synonymous with perfection.
• Perfection is not static (because life isn’t either!), and although we can be perfect one moment we may not be the next. Evolving constantly within wholeness recreates new incarnations of perfection.
• All this evolving requires endurance and determination, so when we establish periods of perfection (and thus wholeness), we are using the expanding strength endowed to us.
• The ability to focus and use strength to create change is, in itself, what defines power: Powerful people create change, both within themselves and throughout the world.
• The most powerful emotions are love and fear; however, fear cannot come from the “wholeness->perfection->strength->power” chain reaction. This must mean that being whole leads to being loving. If you feel fear, as opposed to love, then something is askew. Make your adjustments in the circuit, and let the love flow, baby!
• Whereas fear is ultimately going to create noise/frustration/struggle, love is a source of harmony unto itself. But remember this: Harmony is not playing the same note as what already exists. That would simply be layering the note that already reverberates. Harmony adds something different, but constructive and augmenting. YOU add something meaningful when you are whole->perfect->strong->powerful->loving. When you are harmonious, you don’t sing middle-C when someone else sings middle-C. You sing Eb/E, F/F#, G, or Ab/A. You bring something synergistic to what is already happening.
• Extending the musical metaphor for a moment: Harmony is the part of a song or composition that augments the melody and makes you feel something positive beyond the basic good. It’s what adds dimension to the melody. Have you ever heard a song that makes your face crack open with a smile because of a moment that feels so luscious? That’s the happy that grows out of the harmony (which grew out of the love, which grew out of the power, which grew out of the strength, which grew out of the perfection, which grew out of the wholeness).

Whew! Well… For what it’s worth: Makes sense to me…

“Zack and Peterson are pleased to welcome a special guest to today’s show. Beaming in from Charlotte, NC is Devon Hunter, who is an adult film actor, escort, and dancer. He’s also an avid writer and blogger who reaches out to educate about the adult entertainment industry and queer culture.

I absolutely LOVE this video. I have been watching it multiple times each day, because the dancers look so happy and free. I also love it when gay men act like gay men (or when straight men aren’t afraid to let loose). This video is so well done on so many levels: 1) there are a variety of bodies, 2) a variety of races, 3) a variety of movers, 4) a real sense of fun and ecstatic energy, and 5) they’re all fucking gorgeous. Period. People who say otherwise are just being hateful out of jealousy or habit (which is a symptom of the underlying reason WHY THIS VIDEO NEEDS TO BE SEEN).

This video made me feel really good on a day when I was having all sorts of self-esteem issues, and you know why? Because these are gay porn models being visible, and cute, and sweet, and seductive, and friendly, and fun. They are utterly charming here. They’re not just grunting and cumming. They’re being real people: They know the words to a sassy song, and they like to dance. I love this video, and I admire all the models in it.

I love this video so much that I posted it on my personal (not professional) Facebook, so that my friends and family could see it. I will probably share it on my blog. I already had crushes on several of the models, but now I want to marry all of them. (I’m a greedy bitch like that.) Randy Blue has some absolutely marvelous models.

I like it that we are out of the closet. I like it that Kylie has seen it and enjoys it. I like it so much that I finally broke down, went to iTunes, and bought several Kylie albums that I’d been meaning to get for a while. Sex sells. But so does happiness, and that is what gushes out of this montage.

Haters be damned. This project fucking rocks my world.

I stumbled upon a very empowering video today, and I feel the need to share it. Nothing to say that it doesn’t say on its own, except that I wish someone had said this to me when I needed to hear it most. I hope this encourages you, even if you are hearing it years later than you had hoped to:
