Tyler Perry

A Man of Inspiration

Written by Alice Hocker, author of Finding Inner Peace

The first thought that comes to mind when I hear the name, “Tyler Perry” is…. MADEA, of course!  Everyone LOVES Madea!  Then my thoughts turn to a man that did not let anything prevent him from living his passion.  A man who knew what his purpose was and with a “no matter what” attitude brought his burning desire to fruition.  

As a result of the intentions he continually set and focused upon, Tyler Perry not only lives an extraordinary life, he brings a lot of joy into ours!  I encourage you to visit www.tylerperry.com.  Tyler Perry’s website has a tab titled, Inspirational Corner.  Personally, I have been very inspired by his videos.  The vibe his website exudes is one of genuineness.  It’s a happy site to visit!  I believe that feeling you possess when you are on his website, is an extension of the person Tyler Perry is.  

I watched a documentary titled, “Inside Tyler Perry’s Creative Mind” and if you haven’t seen this, I encourage you to watch it.  Wow, what a creative genius Tyler Perry is!  I first saw this film on the Oprah Winfrey Network as they had a series on “Visionaries: Inside the Creative Mind.”  After viewing this documentary film, I felt such an appreciation for Tyler Perry!  

I believe that we are a mirror image of one another.  Tyler Perry has set an amazing example for all of us by living his life with purpose!  He is grounded in the belief that his career choice was the only option for him and as a result his life is filled with an overflow of abundance in every area!  You and I have the same opportunity to live our lives with intent and purpose.  Let Tyler Perry, a man of inspiration, be an inspiration to you as he is for me and let’s live each day inspiring one another.

With much love,

Alice

Dr. Wayne Dyer

“The Father of Motivation”
by Alice Hocker, author of Finding Inner Peace

Dr. Dyer is affectionately known as the father of motivation.  Once I heard him say, “I’m the father of eight children, I don’t want to be the father of anything else.”  I thought that was precious.  Dr. Dyer definitely motivated me.  He motivated me by following his bliss at a very young age, despite the adversity that he went through growing up.  I admire him for that!  He knew what his “calling” or “purpose” was early on and with a no matter what attitude has abundantly achieved his goal.  And through the process, has touched and changed many lives including mine!  I am truly grateful to him for his influence on me. 

Dr. Dyer’s book, “Wishes Fulfilled” transformed my life and now I have discovered my calling.  I have found the inner peace that I have looked for and longed for my entire life.  It is with great enthusiasm that I write books sharing what I have come to know.  I feel like Dr. Dyer has on a spiritual level wrapped his loving arms around me and whispered in my ear, “Follow your heart.”  That is how I live every day.

In “Wishes Fulfilled” Dr. Dyer delves into how to live from the end, how to develop the sacred place within all of us, the imagination, and live daily connected to your source for everything linking all of this together to live the extraordinary life we were designed to live.  This book is a must read if you are ready to make a shift from ordinary living to extraordinary living.   

“To live is the rarest thing in the world.  Most people exist, that is all.”  Oscar Wilde

I implemented what I learned from reading this book and my life changed instantaneously.  I read “Wishes Fulfilled” in March 2012. In April, my husband and I set down and talked about our future, our careers and where we would ultimately like to live.  I placed my intention on what we had discussed, began living from the end, placing my desires into my imagination, carefully guarded them, telling no one what we had discussed and within five months, our desires came to fruition!  We have both changed career fields as we have connected to our true passion and we now live in France which is where we desired to live!  I am living proof that if you will follow your heart and take the necessary steps to make changes moving you toward living an extraordinary life, you too will achieve your aspirations. 

My personal experience motivated me to write my latest book, “Finding Inner Peace” because this is the key to true happiness!

Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”  I believe this is how Dr. Dyer lives his life…Thank you for making a difference is so many people’s lives including mine.
