Motivational Moment: Russell Simmons on Meditation

 I pull inspiration and encouragement from different places. The first place is God of course. I also pay attention to a lot of the music business and lifestyle connoisseurs I look up to and consider mentors such as Russell Simmons, Andre Harrell, P. Diddy, Steve Stoute, etc. So when they have something to say, I listen and take notes. I thought this was a really informative video on what Russell Simmons believes about meditation and how it assists building your core happiness, success and focus. Check it out...

"What is cool?" - Having a happy and positive attitude. The guy who meditates and moves towards his goals in life is cool. Meditation brings you closer to your power.

Happiness - Meditation promotes happiness. Happiness creates a cycle of good in your life.

Toys - The more toys you have doesn't make you happy. Success is when you can be in touch with the happiness inside you. Other than that, there is no payment. Meditation teaches you to appreciate now and without the precious now, there is nothing in life.

Focus - Focus is critical. Presence is the only thing that creates. You need presence to watch the miracles unfold. Meditation promotes stillness. Stillness is the only time you can think. Learning comes when you have comprehension that comes from stillness. Mediation is the practice of touching that stillness.

Transcendental Mediation - It teaches you to be still when you get to understand yourself and you get the chance to focus.

You should try it... My form of meditation comes through prayer... It definitely helps keep me together, strengthens my creativity and supports my focus.
