About Gregg Masters

Gregg Masters is an inspirational author, thinker and speaker who's daily thoughts, blog and more are known as "A Common Man's Wisdom." Gregg's professional life, whether in Radio, Television or any of his other jobs, allowed him to travel and explore both places and people of all kinds. Ironically, it wasn't these experiences that had the biggest impact on him. In 2008, Gregg suffered a disabling back injury. During this time, Gregg was presented with the option to look at life with anger and cynicism over his injury and pain or to look for the opportunities it might present. He chose the latter. After looking within himself and as he says "Seeing what I was made of, and what made me tick," Gregg began sharing some of his thoughts. First on Facebook, Twitter and with others he was speaking to. As Gregg's thoughts, insights, and understanding continued to grow so did his social media presence. Soon, he began collecting his thoughts, ideas, affirmations and meditations in a series of books titled "A Common Man's Wisdom."

…Neither Created or Destroyed

  

 

              Energy=A source of power that         

         can neither be Created or destroyed

 

Energy, we talk about it, marvel at it, pay for it and wish we had more of it. I’m not talking about the kind of energy that runs our cars or homes or phones, I’m talking about the kind of energy that runs our lives by running us!

 

 

Let’s go back to the definition…

 

                Energy=A source of power that         

             can neither be Created or destroyed

 

I don’t know how we get it but somehow or other, Energy find us. As kids we have boundless energy, too much for our own good sometimes. As we age though, we tell ourself that we’re “managing” that energy. We’re lying to ourselves. We’re completely dropping it off as we go and then moving on without it. We might give it to a person or even a place. We might use it to fight off sickness that might be physical, mental or spiritual, but we are certainly not managing it.

 

 

We are simply giving it away. While we move through our lives dropping off energy, too often we forget to or promise ourselves that sometime later, we’ll find a way to replenish it.

 

 

Remember, we can’t create it so we must find it. The good news is that Energy is all around us, we just need to look for it. Better said, we need to ALLOW ourselves to accept it. For instance, when’s the last time you allowed yourself to…

 

…smell the air after a thunderstorm and appreciate it like you did as a kid?

 

…appreciate the gift of gratitude when someone simply says thank you to you?

 

…see the trees and the flowers and sky with more than your eyes?

 

…known the immense power of seeing the positive force behind a situation that others only seen the negative?

 

…be around people you like or better yet, people you love and/or that feel the same about you

 

…felt the touch of “saving” someone whether that is figuratively or literally?

 

 

When we find ourselves feeling sapped (and we all do from time to time) here’s two things that might help…

1-Trust yourself to allow yourself to open up a bit and soak in the gifts that are out there waiting for us.

2-Give yourself a break! Sometimes the best thing you can do is to take a step back and take some time for yourself! Realize that you deserve the goodness and promise that energy can provide.

 

 

Good luck! I wish you a life filled with boundless energy and light…

 

Peace

       …Gregg


TODAY IS A PLACE

Today is a place! Today is not a time, today is a place!

Today is where you are. Today is where you’ve arrived. Today is where you live!

EMBRACE IT!

LIVE IT!

 

 

 

Today is the only way you will get to another place called Tomorrow. Live it, Love it, Embrace it, Live in Awe of it!

 

 

 

Today is a place! Today is no more a “time” than Chicago or New York or London or Amsterdam!

 

 

 

Today is a portal that allows you to catch onto a dream, hold it and deliver it to Tomorrow!

 

 

 

Today is a place! You don’t have the time to hold grudges, be angry, cynical or dismissive. You don’t have time to shift your love for someone until tomorrow because they might not be there, you might not be there.

 

 

 

Today is a place! LIVE IN IT!

 

 

 

Peace

T h e I N S T A N T ! ! !

An instant is truly immeasurable! A long life both begins and ends with an instant, but most importantly, it is filled with them!

 

 

Of all the things we could forget in our lives, how could we forget this one? When did we forget this life changing fact? How do we get it back? Those are great questions but the most important might be, How Can I Begin to be Truly Grateful and Really Live Each Instant of Life I’ve Been Given?

 

 

My hope is that you’ll begin asking some of these questions, listening for your answers as well as noticing more of those precious instants!

Peace
