QUOTES OF THE WEEK
"The critical ingredient is getting off your butt
and doing something. It's as simple as that. A lot of people have
ideas, but few decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow.
Not next week. But today."
- Nolan Bushnell
Exercise persistence and due diligence where your
ideas and ambitions are concerned.
Like many eggs - they too - will
eventually fly.
- Fran Briggs
Here's an excellent strategy to help rid yourself of an undesired condition
Most of us have access to a paper shredder. The next time you have
papers to shred, separate one from the pile that is blank on the back.
Immediately begin writing a paragraph or two describing a situation,
habit, or condition that you consider unacceptable, repulsive or worthy
of shredding into non-existence. Write vividly and descriptively. Make
sure you attach strong feelings and emotions that reflect what you want
to rid your life from forever.
Then, read what you wrote aloud and immediately and deliberately, shred
it.
Whatever it was, was. It is out of sight and out of
mind. But more importantly, no one - especially you - should be able to
have access to it ever again.
Love, You!
In Doctor Wayne Dyer's book titled,
Manifest Your Destiny, he writes that if what you truly desire
isn't showing up in your life, it's probably because there is an absence
of love ... for you. Fill the void. Love, you!
Name-calling
I've never been keen for name calling. And, it is rare
that I feature a person
that has a tremendous influence in my own life, as well as in the
lives of millions of others. Today, however, I am name-calling and
inviting you to check him out. This man is one of
the most time/resource-generous,
quick-witted, enthusiastic, intuitive, friendly, energetic, dynamic,
distinctive, (I'm-running-out-of-adjectives), individuals I have
ever known. He makes things happen!
"I love connecting people with other people," he recently
told me. And he's good at what he loves. I can't count the number of
times that he was able to
"conference in" leaders in the personal development industry during our
1:1 phone meetings and conversations. Totally impromptu and on
a speed-dial
whim!
Dr. Stan Harris has a Doctorate in Divinity and more degrees,
certifications, and titles than I will list here. Among them are:
college professor, certified behavior consultant, 10th degree black belt
(the highest honor in Martial Arts), author, and youth leader. He is
also one of the world's top trainers in the direct marketing field.
Blessed with an engaging sense of humor and uncontrived brilliance, "Dr.
Stan" easily keeps his listeners alternating between bursts of laughter
and captivating analysis.

For the Children (And the Adults
in Their Lives)
I just love it when children get the opportunity to strut their
stuff (in a wholesome, positive and empowering way). So, you can
imagine how thrilled I was when my friends at New Balance
(TM) told me about an incredible opportunity
for this most precious, segment of our population.
New Balance Athletic Shoes, Inc. recently announced that they are
giving away 48, three-day/three-night cruises to the
Bahamas. Amazing. One contest and 48 Grand Prize winners! Can you
believe it? Well, it's true! The approximate retail value of the
cruise for each winner is $4,798.00. Children 5-12 years old are
invited to submit their own 25-words or less, essay on good
sportsmanship. All entries must be submitted by August 31, 2005.
48 winners and their 2 guests will be awarded Grand Prize cruises to
the Bahamas! For more information and complete contest rules,
visit:
http://sportsmanship.newbalance.com/
and go to: "enter now."
20 Minutes a Day for the Next 7 Days Let me ask you something. Is the thought of being completely organized messing with your mind? If so, you're not alone. Try this. Pick an area of your life such as a room or your finances. For the next seven days, commit 20 minutes towards getting totally organized in that area. Just 20 minutes. Everybody has 20 minutes! What you'll discover is that your dedicated 20 minute spurts will go well beyond your agreement. Why? Because on day 1 you will easily find your groove, momentum and motivation. And, by this time next week, you will have masterfully invested -not two hours- but as many as four hours or more in your quest to be completely and totally organized. P.Qs: Power Questions
P.Qs. - 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!
1. Are my goals
bright and vibrant? Or distant and fading?
2. How can I add value and excitement to my next 60 minutes?
3. What have I been doing well and how can I celebrate?
Something to Think About
"Desperate Housewives," the American, hit television show, recently
announced their slogan for the 2005 - 2006 season, "New season, new
dirty laundry." The show's highest ratings just happen to
be in the states which voted according to the highest "moral values" in
the 2004 election.
Something to Do About
Not next week. Not tomorrow. Today!
