simmons and you definitely think rich he founded the music label def jam as well as clothing lines such as phat farm and american classics with a net worth estimate of 340 million he is the third richest figure in hip hop only behind artists diddy and jay z but do you also think of yoga and spirituality when you think of russell simmons simmons is the author along with chris morrow of super rich a guide to having it all his business website www rushcommunications com relates his many business successes which have spanned music film television fashion video games online and financial services and his activism which has encompassed all of the areas touched by his businesses including poverty education social justice and inclusion it s easy to daydream about being incredibly rich but simmons is more than just about having a lot of money he grew up in a lower middle class african american community in queens and recently was named one of the 25 most influential people of the last 25 years by usa today he has two beautiful daughters he adores and a beautiful well known and accomplished ex wife kimora lee simmons not only does he practice yoga meditation and philanthropy he also eats no meat he believes that there is a connection between his spiritual practices and his worldly success the title of his book super rich might make you think it s all about accumulating money but to simmons that term means the state of needing nothing that s powerful the state of needing nothing imagine being in that state surely you d feel super rich but how do you achieve that state simmons says that we have to clear out the clutter and quiet the noise that keeps us from hearing or connecting with the happiness or the richness that is already inside of us he says that we attract the world to us by giving until the world can t live without what you have to offer huh to get rich you just give away what you have yes he quotes yogis you never lose what you have given and says that if you just show the world a fraction of the sweetness and honesty that s in your heart it s going to come running after you what else can you do to attain the state of needing nothing access stillness that quiet peaceful mental state that allows you to be completely present in life then you can become totally connected with the inspiration and imagination that s inside you stay focused on your work without any expectations for or concern with the fruit of your labor and operate out of a zone of pure focus and clarity like michael jordan did on the basketball court be a business yogi and only do shit you believe in period vegan simmons for example says he would never invest in a restaurant that serves meat if you are a yogi you won t do work that creates instability or suffering in the world let go of the results and watch what happens be reborn every day simmons went from being a drug dealer to a mega rich businessman yogi author he previously penned the new york times best seller do you 12 laws to access the power in you to achieve happiness and success and humanitarian how did he do that he began moving away from his unconscious state and toward enlightenment he says it is important to get open to be fluid and creative and never rigid build bridges with people of other races religions beliefs etc that will bring people together recognize that we are all connected practice and realize the power of acceptance and love of others and what is enjoy and be grateful for the material things but don t become burdened by or attached to what you have instead achieve balance in life make a real commitment to being conscious and compassionate he quotes the story of the bhagavad gita and arjuna s final words to lord krishna through your kind conversation i ve woken up and am conscious of who i really am simmons says that even if you fall short in all the above things if you are conscious and compassionate you will like arjuna become more awake which is central to all your success simmons says that armed with the knowledge in the book we can be like arjuna and to fight not for what you can get for yourself but what you can give to others to fight not for your own abundance but for the abundance of others to fight not for your own security but for the peace and safety of others to fight not for your own joy but for the happiness of others to fight not for your own upliftment but for the enlightenment of others russell simmons hip hop fashion and multi business mogul yogi father un goodwill ambassador vegan and philanthropist ends the book by saying when you are devoted to fighting for these things with a smile on your face and love radiating out of your heart then all these things will be yours you will have it all you will be super rich how

thirty one miles i set some really bodacious goals at the start of the year walking a 12 hour race and completing a 50k 31 miles was one of them i had no idea at the time if i could even go 6 hours but decided at least it was a good goal i decided to go for it and set a very aggressive training schedule i stuck to it except for dealing with some setbacks along the way lingering arm pain from a hard fall an unexpected trip out of town getting sick and some foot pain that laid me up awhile i wasn t a beginning walker when i started i sold my car when i moved out to the san francisco bay area so i walk everywhere and was already doing some long walks note see my blog post a year of living carless which is featured today on the home page of wordpress my training started very aggressively the week of april 25 when i walked 27 miles with my longest walk being 10 miles because i was behind in training i had to quickly ramp up a month later i walked 21 5 miles as my long walk three weeks after that i walked a marathon and three weeks after that was the race the last few weeks i walked loops very similar to the 3 1 loop in the actual race with 200 feet elevation gain every loop i did a lot of research about how to prepare for and walk a 12 hour race to say i was nervous about it is an understatement i did way too much carbo loading put on weight leading up to the race and had to order a new wicking shirt a few days before the race i got a smartphone around this time and loaded tons of music on it had extra batteries and bought an extra headset i bought a running hat trained with the kind of food and sports drink at the race and took good care of my feet lots of soaks in epsom salts petroleum jelly tom s blister shield foot powder and taping my feet in blister prone areas with the help of facebook friends i came up with an athletic alter ego to motivate me during the race dianamo kickass sista distance i tapered my walking down to almost nothing and now the big day had arrived gulp race day 7 9 11 brazen racing dirty dozen race starts at 7 00 a m at pinole point east bay up at 4 10 a m breakfast of peanut butter sandwich and an apple a cup of coffee and 20 ounces of

a cool overcast morning perfect for running or in my case walking we ran parallel to the bay for much of the race and braved the 20 30 mph gusting winds throughout the race which had me chasing my hat several times later in the race when the sun came out since i was walking everyone else raced ahead of me and i took a wrong turn at one point and had to backtrack i felt much more confident after i got through the first loop and knew the course my first headset gave out after only 1 5 hours charging issues so i just listened to the natural sounds until i completed four loops i grabbed the second headset then and fiddled with it for about 15 minutes i never got it to synch i use a bluetooth headset turns out i needed to hold down the button a couple of more seconds aargh i did another loop and
