I made emotionally-based decisions, allowed bad people into my life, and I lost my ability to live with passion and purpose. I’d become unhealthy in both body and mind. I was burnt out. But like the Phoenix rising, I have finally endeavored upon my life’s real mission, and I’m seriously focused for the long-term! I aim to inspire and strengthen America one person at a time, starting with myself. And how do I expect to do that?</p><p>For a year and a half, after I’d been stripped of all my possessions, I sat in a tiny little cabin in the middle of the Northern Cascades with nothing but my thoughts. It was cold. It was solitary. And it was revealing. Since losing everything I previously knew to be solid and secure in my life, I had plenty of time to reflect, to shed, to think and to create. Over the next many months, I learned to slow my mind and embrace the solitude, something I’d never truly been able to do. With time and focused introspection, I honestly became happy with where I was in life. After all, I was the ONLY person to blame for my position. I learned to shed the emotional baggage that kept me cloudy on most days. I stopped allowing the incessant prodding from ego- based thought. I began to focus only on the most important things, relationships, health, mindfulness and preparation. No longer was I going to be a leaf in the wind. It was time to create my life the way I wanted it. I realized that my years up to that point had been akin to a raging wildfire that consumed time, energy and people. Of course I knew that I was a good person, and I had only the best intentions as I awakened for each day. I was helping many people to become healthier and happier. And I was reaping the bounty of so many years’ hard work. But demons from the past were becoming more numerous and powerful as I became more successful. And the more I pushed for success, the more imbalanced I became. It was like I was living two separate lives, the ‘real me’, and the ‘me’ that was never happy, no matter how much I achieved. Out of all the chaos and devastation has come something truly enlightened and beautiful. I knew that it had all happened for a reason, and that if I could wear my heart on my sleeve, my story could functionally help many people to become healthy and purpose-driven, from the inside. </p><p>I took note of some very disturbing trends in America, a few of which I was a part. No doubt you’ve noticed them yourself. Like no other people, Americans have the fortitude and systems available to be of the greatest potential influence to change the Earth. But for one reason or another, we’ve become passive in all areas of life. As a people, we’ve become fearful of almost everything and everyone; we now live in a despicably blame-based society; most want more than what they have; many lack self-reliance; our children lack self- esteem and direction; many lack respect for other people, not to mention, themselves; We are becoming increasingly unhappy and terrifying unhealthy; we lack passion for self-creation; we talk much more than we listen; we bathe in entertainment and escapism in all their forms; and we have become a culture of egoistic behaviorists. We’ve basically lost the ability to be self-reliant, freely-thinking creators of our lives. That being said, we also have the power and the ability to change the culture of America. As the saying goes, “The best way to change the world is to change ourselves.” And the way to do that is by consciously balancing each of the 7 Pillars™ within YOUR life. The 7 Pillars™ are Spirituality, Finance, Codes of Being, Love & Relationships, Mindfulness, Physical Wellness, and Success & Leadership. And the 7 Pillars™ are the fundamental building blocks of something I’ve created called The Responsibility Movement™ (RM,) a FREE system of practical education, articles, introspective diagnostics, and powerful action steps to help you to begin proactively bridging the gap between your conscious ideals and your everyday real life. Please go to www.ResponsibilityMovement.com to check it out. And don’t forget to sign up for the FREE monthly newsletter. It’s packed with practical, powerful info that you can apply to your life. </p><p>The spearhead of the Responsibility Movement™ is the new 432-page book Compulsion, published by Aviva, out of New York. Compulsion is the riveting true story of how and why I lost my medical license, and everything else I’d worked so hard to achieve. Embedded within the text are 129 awareness techniques and action steps to help you to challenge and recreate your life from the inside. It’s truly an unbelievable string of horrible events that forced me to challenge everything I believed as truth in my life. But no matter how devastating, I can honestly tell you that I am so very grateful that those events took place. They‘ve inspired the crystallization of the Responsibility Movement, the Common Sense Evolution System (CSE System) ™, and Compulsion. You can read reviews, endorsements, the synopsis and more at www.CompulsionBook.com.</p><p>One of the greatest things about life is that we all have the ability to change our perceptions, and to create a new life each and every day we awaken. It doesn’t take life-altering events to change one’s life, only a choice to do so when you first open your eyes each morning. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t take the endless opportunities I had. It took catastrophic events to inspire change. Don’t do it the way I did it! Make the changes necessary to live an inspired life within every second of every day. Lead by example. Become more objective and less emotional. Appreciate and accept those around you. Never judge. Own your ability to create health, wealth and mindfulness. Constantly aspire to inspire others. Experience your life with an anamorphic view, a view from a bird’s eye. Let’s get excited to change America from the inside. Use the components within the Responsibility Movement, Compulsion, and on www.MarkSvetcos.com to influence change in your life. Join me in creating a powerful, new America by sharing the FREE Universal Covenant of Responsibility (UCoR) ™ with your friends, family and coworkers. It can be referenced, copied and pasted from www.ResponsibilityMovement.com. Follow the instructions provided for maximum efficiency and assimilation. Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you on………………………December, 10, 2009, at 6pm!</p>
