Why the "Blue Diamond" ?

We selected the diamond as our logo because of the metaphor contained in "Chunk of Coal" by Billy Joe Shaver. Isn't the diamond a terrific metaphor for the human mind and spirit?

Vision doesn't usually come like a lightening bolt. Rather, it comes as a slow crystallization of life challenges that we one day recognize as a beautiful diamond with great value to ourselves and others.  Michael Norwood, Author, The 9 Insights of the Wealthy Soul

We use the phrase “Blue Diamond” as the anchor for staying stress-free. The only trouble with the original lyrics is that the results were always in the future. To increase the effectiveness of our self-talk, it is much better to state our objective, dreams, goals, and aspirations in the present tense, just as if they have been accomplished.  

Here are the original lyrics & as revised in the “Positive As If Now” tense.

Chunk Of Coal (Billy Joe Shaver)

        Original Lyrics

I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna glow and grow
'Til I'm so blue pure perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face
I'm gonna kneel and pray everyday
Lest I should become vain along the way
I'm just an old chunk of coal, now Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day

I'm gonna learn the best way to walk
I'm gonna search and find a better way to talk
I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self
Til I get rid of every single flaw
I'm gonna be the World's best friend
I'm gonna go around shaking everybody's hand
Hey, I'm gonna be the cotton-pickin' Rage of the Age
I'm gonna be a diamond some day

   Positive As IF NOW lyrics

I was just an old chunk of coal

And now I am a diamond today    

I'm glowin' and growin'        

Cause I'm so blue pure perfect        

I always keep a smile on everybody's face
I'm gonna kneel and pray everyday

So I don't become vain along the way

Oh, I was just an old chunk of coal, oh lord

But now I am a diamond today!              

I have learned the best way to walk

I searched and found a better way to talk

I always to keep a polishin' my old rough-edged self    

As I get rid of every single flaw

I am always the World's best friend

I just keep on shaking everybody's hand
Hey, I'm always be the cotton-pickin' Rage of the Age
'CAUSE I AM A DIAMOND TODAY!
