Read About It, Then, Be About It!
Far too many of us struggle through life
despite more Bibles, personal development and self-help
books being read now, than during any other time in history. Whatever
it is that we are in search of, cannot be found among the pages of any
book, but rather, deep within ourselves. If
after reading and reflecting upon an informative article, scripture or
book, you find yourself still struggling through life or content with
happenstance ... it is for one reason and one reason only:
You acquired the information, but failed to apply it to your
situation.
Hundreds of millions of books available today have content that is interesting - even captivating enough to keep your attention for weeks, months and even years. However, you are wasting our time if you just read about it. You've got to be about it! Master the amazing concept of living inside, out. Books are much more than random units of information and inspiration. They are invaluable resources which we can use to share with others, and prosper in every area of our lives.

Power Hour Goal Setting
Reach any ambition or goal by setting
hourly, power goals. Sound like a time-consuming, arduous task? Well,
that's because it only sounds like a time-consuming, arduous
task. In all actuality, setting a goal for each of your waking
hours can be exciting, challenging and life-transforming.
If you made a goal to eliminate Pepsi Cola from your
list of beverages of choice. Do so; one hour at a time. Affirm your
commitment with written and verbal statements. Avoid stating or
writing down anything that even remotely sounds like: "I will not have
a Pepsi-Cola this hour." You'll be sacked with a lack
attack! Instead, write down and state out loud: "I am replacing
seltzer water (or another beverage) for Pepsi Cola this hour."
Each Pepsi-free hour becomes a power hour. And, a string of power
hours can represent the most incredible day. Make every hour a
power hour and put yourself on the fastrack to an amazing life.
The WIT to WIN
Make a list of what's important today (your WIT). Next,
immediately begin working on what's important now (your WIN).
Your WIN represents each itemized priority on your list. When you get
one WIN under your belt, immediately go after the next one; and then the
one after that...

P.Q.s: Power Questions
P.Q.s - or Power Questions - are used to introduce your mind to new information and options. They are intended to shift your paradigm, thoughts and beliefs, towards the greater. Ask yourself these three, empowering questions. Then, immediately follow up with specific, supporting action. The action you take serves as a catalyst for change that can transform your life and create a healthier, wealthier and more vibrant, you!
Brilliant Minds
In the process of learning how to drive, I could see that though the
road was narrow, some folks with bigger cars were making "U-turns" and I
thought I couldn't do it. The real issue was not the size of the road
or even the car. The real issue for me is to see it being done in my
mind's eye. When I achieved this, I also achieved having dominion over
my car and all other things fell into place...So these are problematic
minds. Then how do you solve the problem? I'm glad you asked. All
that is needed is a renewal of the mind by the power of God and His
Word...
Let us use the power and energy in our thoughts to focus on
our goal. So much so that a gentle inquiry will cause us to speak with
the deepest conviction and the strongest passion about our goals.
And, in such a way that even the untrained mind can understand.

To Your Health
Sleep on This!
Demands from work, family and outside
interests make sleep a luxury for many individuals. Studies have proven
that the lack of sleep leads to heart disease, high blood pressure,
obesity, diabetes and stroke. An adequate amount of uninterrupted sleep
repairs and restores our cells, muscles and nerve connections. The
brain needs rest. This is when it rids itself of free radicals, which
is the equivalent of biological rust.

The Toxic Mineral
Aluminum salts are added to table salt to stop it
becoming lumpy. It is used in deodorants, flour bleaching, antacids,
and the manufacture of cookware and in food cans. We ingest more
aluminum now than ever before in human history. And, it is definitely
toxic. Aluminum accumulates in the liver, bones, thyroid, stomach and
brain. It can cause liver and kidney damage and negatively affect the
central nervous system. Convulsions, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s
Disease and Parkinson’s Disease may result from long term exposure.
Aluminum also negatively impacts on motor neurons, increasing the
incidence of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a progressive and often
fatal disease of the motor neurons. It interferes with
calcium metabolism and reduces the absorption of calcium, magnesium and
phosphorus, which are all essential for proper bone formation.
How can you protect yourself? There is a range of natural substances that have been shown to help. 1. Succinic Acid found in garlic, asparagus, broccoli, beetroot and rhubarb. 2. Malic Acid found in a very wide range of fruits and vegetables including apples, limes, most stone fruits, strawberries rhubarb and tomatoes. 3. Citric Acid found in citrus fruits, berry fruits bananas, pineapples and some stone fruits. 4. Glutathione found in raw fruits and vegetables such as apples, avocados, grapefruit, carrots, tomatoes and broccoli. A kelp supplement and a diet rich in fresh raw fruits and vegetables is your best natural protection. And, of course reduce your contact with aluminum as much as possible.

"I strongly recommend this
book. It contains keys to success that will guide you past obstacles you
thought were insurmountable. I've known Stuart Lichtman a long time; his
material gets people results. If you have big goals and you're looking
for that one 'missing piece' to help you achieve them, read this book
and put its solid ideas to work for you."
-Jack Canfield, Co-author of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul"
series
"As an African-American amputee from San Diego who became an Olympic
ski medalist, I have been exposed to some of the greatest goal-setting
techniques known to man. When I heard about Stuart Lichtman's new
method, I was a little cautious. But this is like nothing I have ever
seen. As a result of using this program and eliminating some
unconscious blocks I didn't know I had, I have recently been presented
with a seven-figure opportunity. Every day new
opportunities are flying at me. My biggest problem is how to handle all
the new business."
-Bonnie St. John Olympic Silver Medalist Author, Succeeding Sane
