Eight Choices You Can Make Today....

...That Will Change Your Life Forever
by Chris Widener



The direction of our lives is determined by the choices we make every day. They accumulate and add up to our ultimate destiny. Here are eight choices you can make - choices that will create for you a life of abundance and prosperity in all areas of your life.


1. Choose to grow personally. This sounds simple but many people only wish to grow personally. They never choose to grow by taking action, such as actually exercising, saving more money etc. Make a decision today to be a person who is on the never ending journey of personal growth.

2. Choose to always treat others right. We come across all sorts of people, many of whom will treat us poorly. We can choose to treat them right, no matter how they treat us. When they lie, we will tell the truth. When they cheat, we will play by the rules. We may get the short end of the stick some times, but in the long run we will win. And most importantly, we will be able to sleep at night.

3. Choose to break a bad habit. Take the biggie first. Tackle it head on. If you don't know what it is, ask a friend. Then spend every effort you can to break that habit. Forget about the others, as you will get to them later. Stop smoking, get out of debt, loose your excess weight. Exercise the power to choose!

4. Choose to work smarter. Many people I work with feel like they are out of balance. One of the first things I do is try to find out how much time they are wasting at work, which makes them work longer, which throws the rest of their life into chaos. Getting your work done by diligently working in the time you have will free your life up extraordinarily.


5. Choose to see your work as a way to help others, and not a way to make money. If you put your heart into helping others, the money will most assuredly come. Spend time helping others grow and your finances will grow with it.


6. Choose to become balanced spiritually, emotionally and physically. Our lives are best when we have these three major areas in balance. Spend some time cultivating your spirituality, becoming emotionally healthy, and physically fit.


7. Choose to sow more than you reap. There are many takers in this world, but our lives will be better as we become givers. The world will become better as we become givers. Give away your time, give away your money, give away your love.


8. Choose to get home for dinner more often. The family is the most important group of people you will ever belong to. Make a decision today to grow in your relationship with your parents, siblings, spouse and children. This one choice you will never regret.




One of my favorite quotes: "The history of free men is never written by chance, but by choice - their choice." Dwight D. Eisenhower

Avoid Negative People

You have one life to live.
You want to be happy and to makeyour life meaningful.
You haven't got time to waste with negative people.
They will drain your energy.

When they find a willing audience, they won't let it go.
They may have justifiable concerns but too often get over involved in minor matters. They blame and look for excuses. Even when blame can be justified it serves no productive good. They are usually negative because they have ceded control of their happiness to others the boss, the neighbors, the kids, the politicians, the police.

Be polite and encouraging to negative people. You can be compassionate, but still be strong enough to walk away. Everyone has problems but not everyone allows those problems to rule them. You can offer a temporary safe haven without becoming a permanent home. You do not have to sacrifice your life to the problems of another negligible chance for success.

The famous story of Babe Ruth is a good example for the power of expectation. After hitting a home run into the section of the stands he pointed to, he told reporters that it had never entered his mind that he would not fulfill his promise. He had his heart set in hitting a home run and nothing was going to prevent him from accomplishing his goal. It is truly amazing how capable people are of living up to their own expectations.

How are you doing in avoiding the negativity in your life?

Giving/Sharing/Generosity by Jim Rohn



It's best to start the discipline of generosity when the amounts are small. It's easy to give ten cents out of a dollar; it's a little harder to give a hundred thousand out of a million.

Giving is better than receiving because giving starts the receiving process.

Nothing teaches character better than generosity.

Here's what is exciting about sharing ideas with others: If you share a new idea with ten people, they get to hear it once and you get to hear it ten times.

Sharing makes you bigger than you are. The more you pour out, the more life will be able to pour in.

Somebody says, "Well, I can't be concerned about other people. About the best I can do is to take care of myself." Well, then you will always be poor.

What you give becomes an investment that will return to you multiplied at some point in the future.

When somebody shares, everybody wins.

The amount you give isn't important. What matters is what that amount represents in terms of your life.

Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have

Where Do You Go ....

....For Your Intellectual Feast? by Jim Rohn
(excerpted from Leading an Inspired Life)



Pity the man who has a favorite restaurant, but
not a favorite author. He's picked out a favorite
place to feed his body, but he doesn't have a
favorite place to feed his mind!

Why would this be? Have you heard about the
accelerated learning curve? From birth, up until
the time we are about eighteen, our learning curve
is dramatic, and our capacity to learn during this
period is just staggering. We learn a tremendous
amount very fast. We learn language, culture,
history, science, mathematics... everything!

For some people, the accelerated learning process
will continue on. But for most, it levels off when
they get their first job. If there are no more
exams to take, if there's no demand to get out
paper and pencil, why read any more books? Of
course, you will learn some things through
experience. Just getting out there - sometimes
doing it wrong and sometimes doing it right - you
will learn.

Can you imagine what would happen if you kept up
an accelerated learning curve all the rest of your
life? Can you imagine what you could learn to do,
the skills you could develop, the capacities you
could have? Here's what I'm asking you to do: be
that unusual person who keeps up his learning
curve and develops an appetite for always trying
to find good ideas.

One way to feed your mind and educate your
philosophy is through the writings of influential
people. Maybe you can't meet the person, but you
can read his or her books. Churchill is gone, but
we still have his books. Aristotle is gone, but we
still have his ideas. Search libraries for books
and programs. Search magazines. Search
documentaries. They are full of opportunities for
intellectual feasting.


In addition to reading and listening, you also
need a chance to do some talking and sharing. I
have some people in my life who help me with
important life questions, who assist me in
refining my own philosophy, weighing my values and
pondering questions about success and lifestyle.

We all need association with people of substance
to provide influence concerning major issues such
as society, money, enterprise, family, government,
love, friendship, culture, taste, opportunity, and
community. Philosophy is mostly influenced by
ideas, ideas are mostly influenced by education,
and education is mostly influenced by the people
with whom we associate.



One of the great fortunes of my life was to be
around Mr. Shoaff those five years. During that
time he shared with me at dinner, during airline
flights, at business conferences, in private
conversations and in groups. He gave me many ideas
that enabled me to make small daily adjustments in
my philosophy and activities. Those daily changes,
some very slight, but very important, soon added
up to weighty sums.

A big part of the lesson was having Mr. Shoaff
repeat the ideas over and over. You just can't
hear the fundamentals of life philosophy too
often. They are the greatest form of nutrition,
the building blocks for a well-developed mind.

I'm asking that you feed your mind just as you do
your body. Feed it with good ideas, wherever they
can be found. Always be on the lookout for a good
idea - a business idea, a product idea, a service
idea, an idea for personal improvement. Every new
idea will help to refine your philosophy. Your
philosophy will guide your life, and your life
will unfold with distinction and pleasure.

The Formula for Failure and Success by Jim Rohn

(Excepted from the book The Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle by Jim Rohn)


Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. We do not fail overnight. Failure is the inevitable result of an accumulation of poor thinking and poor choices. To put it more simply, failure is nothing more than a few errors in judgment repeated every day.

Now why would someone make an error in judgment and then be so foolish as to repeat it every day?

The answer is because he or she does not think that it matters.

On their own, our daily acts do not seem that important. A minor oversight, a poor decision, or a wasted hour generally doesn't result in an instant and measurable impact. More often than not, we escape from any immediate consequences of our deeds.

If we have not bothered to read a single book in the past ninety days, this lack of discipline does not seem to have any immediate impact on our lives. And since nothing drastic happened to us after the first ninety days, we repeat this error in judgment for another ninety days, and on and on it goes.

Why? Because it doesn't seem to matter.

And herein lies the great danger. Far worse than not reading the books is not even realizing that it matters!

Those who eat too many of the wrong foods are contributing to a future health problem, but the joy of the moment overshadows the consequence of the future. It does not seem to matter. Those who smoke too much or drink too much go on making these poor choices year after year after year...because it doesn't seem to matter. But the pain and regret of these errors in judgment have only been delayed for a future time. Consequences are seldom instant; instead, they accumulate until the inevitable day of reckoning finally arrives and the price must be paid for our poor choices - choices that didn't seem to matter.

Failure's most dangerous attribute is its subtlety. In the short term those little errors don't seem to make any difference. We do not seem to be failing. In fact, sometimes these accumulated errors in judgment occur throughout a period of great joy and prosperity in our lives.

Since nothing terrible happens to us, since there are no instant consequences to capture our attention, we simply drift from one day to the next, repeating the errors, thinking the wrong thoughts, listening to the wrong voices and making the wrong choices. The sky did not fall in on us yesterday; therefore the act was probably harmless. Since it seemed to have no measurable consequence, it is probably safe to repeat.

But we must become better educated than that!

If at the end of the day when we made our first error in judgment the sky had fallen in on us, we undoubtedly would have taken immediate steps to ensure that the act would never be repeated again. Like the child who places his hand on a hot burner despite his parents' warnings, we would have had an instantaneous experience accompanying our error in judgment.

Unfortunately, failure does not shout out its warnings as our parents once did. This is why it is imperative to refine our philosophy in order to be able to make better choices. With a powerful, personal philosophy guiding our every step, we become more aware of our errors in judgment and more aware that each error really does matter.

Now here is the great news. Just like the formula for failure, the formula for success is easy to follow: It's a few simple disciplines practiced every day.

Now here is an interesting question worth pondering: How can we change the errors in the formula for failure into the disciplines required in the formula for success? The answer is by making the future an important part of our current philosophy.

Both success and failure involve future consequences, namely the inevitable rewards or unavoidable regrets resulting from past activities. If this is true, why don't more people take time to ponder the future? The answer is simple: They are so caught up in the current moment that it doesn't seem to matter. The problems and the rewards of today are so absorbing to some human beings that they never pause long enough to think about tomorrow.

But what if we did develop a new discipline to take just a few minutes every day to look a little further down the road? We would then be able to foresee the impending consequences of our current conduct. Armed with that valuable information, we would be able to take the necessary action to change our errors into new success-oriented disciplines. In other words, by disciplining ourselves to see the future in advance, we would be able to change our thinking, amend our errors and develop new habits to replace the old.

One of the exciting things about the formula for success - a few simple disciplines practiced every day - is that the results are almost immediate. As we voluntarily change daily errors into daily disciplines, we experience positive results in a very short period of time. When we change our diet, our health improves noticeably in just a few weeks. When we start exercising, we feel a new vitality almost immediately. When we begin reading, we experience a growing awareness and a new level of self-confidence. Whatever new discipline we begin to practice daily will produce exciting results that will drive us to become even better at developing new disciplines.

The real magic of new disciplines is that they will cause us to amend our thinking. If we were to start today to read the books, keep a journal, attend the classes, listen more and observe more, then today would be the first day of a new life leading to a better future. If we were to start today to try harder, and in every way make a conscious and consistent effort to change subtle and deadly errors into constructive and rewarding disciplines, we would never again settle for a life of existence - not once we have tasted the fruits of a life of substance!

To Your Success

Ending Procrastination by Jim Rohn

Perseverance is about as important to achievement as gasoline is to driving a car. Sure, there will be times when you feel like you're spinning your wheels, but you'll always get out of the rut with genuine perseverance. Without it, you won't even be able to start your engine.

The opposite of perseverance is procrastination. Perseverance means you never quit. Procrastination usually means you never get started, although the inability to finish something is also a form of procrastination.

Ask people why they procrastinate and you'll often hear something like this, "I'm a perfectionist. Everything has to be just right before I can get down to work. No distractions, not too much noise, no telephone calls interrupting me, and of course I have to be feeling well physically, too. I can't work when I have a headache."

The other end of procrastination - being unable to finish - also has a perfectionist explanation: "I'm just never satisfied. I'm my own harshest critic. If all the i's aren't dotted and all the t's aren't crossed, I just can't consider that I'm done. That's just the way I am, and I'll probably never change."

Do you see what's going on here?

A fault is being turned into a virtue. The perfectionist is saying that his standards are just too high for this world. This fault-into-virtue syndrome is a common defense when people are called upon to discuss their weaknesses, but in the end it's just a very pious kind of excuse making. It certainly doesn't have anything to do with what's really behind procrastination.

Remember, the basis of procrastination could be fear of failure. That's what perfectionism really is, once you take a hard look at it.

What's the difference whether you're afraid of being less than perfect or afraid of anything else? You're still paralyzed by fear.

What's the difference whether you never start or never finish? You're still stuck. You're still going nowhere. You're still overwhelmed by whatever task is before you. You´re still allowing yourself to be dominated by a negative vision of the future in which you see yourself being criticized, laughed at, punished, or ridden out of town on a rail. Of course, this negative vision of the future is really a mechanism that allows you to do nothing. It's a very convenient mental tool.

I'm going to tell you how to overcome procrastination.
I'm going to show you how to turn procrastination into perseverance, and if you do what I suggest, the process will be virtually painless. It involves using two very powerful principles that foster productivity and perseverance instead of passivity and procrastination.

The first principle is: break it down.

No matter what you're attempting to accomplish, whether it's writing a book, climbing a mountain, or painting a house the key to achievement is your ability to break down the task into manageable pieces and knock them off one at one time. Focus on accomplishing what's right in front of you at this moment. Ignore what's off in the distance someplace. Substitute real-time positive thinking for negative future visualization.

That's the first all- important technique for bringing an end to procrastination.

Suppose I were to ask you if you could write a four hundred-page novel. If you're like most people, that would sound like an impossible task. But suppose I ask you a different question. Suppose I ask if you can write a page and a quarter a day for one year. Do you think you could do it? Now the task is starting to seem more manageable. We're breaking down the four-hundred-page book into bite-size pieces. Even so, I suspect many people would still find the prospect intimidating. Do you know why? Writing a page and a quarter may not seem so bad, but you're being asked to look ahead one whole year. When people start to do look that far ahead, many of them automatically go into a negative mode. So let me formulate the idea of writing a book in yet another way. Let me break it down even more.

Suppose I was to ask you: can you fill up a page and a quarter with words-not for a year, not for a month, not even for a week, but just today? Don't look any further ahead than that. I believe most people would confidently declare that they could accomplish that. Of course, these would be the same people who feel totally incapable of writing a whole book.

If I said the same thing to those people tomorrow - if I told them, I don't want you to look back, and I don't want you to look ahead, I just want you to fill up a page and a quarter this very day - do you think they could do it?

One day at a time. We've all heard that phrase. That's what we're doing here. We're breaking down the time required for a major task into one-day segments, and we're breaking down the work involved in writing a four hundred-page book into page-and-a-quarter increments.

Keep this up for one year, and you'll write the book. Discipline yourself to look neither forward nor backward, and you can accomplish things you never thought you could possibly do. And it all begins with those three words: break it down.

My second technique for defeating procrastination is also only three words long. The three words are: write it down. We know how important writing is to goal setting. The writing you'll do for beating procrastination is very similar. Instead of focusing on the future, however, you're now going to be writing about the present just as you experience it every day. Instead of describing the things you want to do or the places you want to go, you're going to describe what you actually do with your time, and you're going to keep a written record of the places you actually go.

In other words, you're going to keep a diary of your activities. And you're going to be surprised by the distractions, detours, and downright wastes of time you engage in during the course of a day. All of these get in the way of achieving your goals. For many people, it's almost like they planned it that way, and maybe at some unconscious level they did. The great thing about keeping a time diary is that it brings all this out in the open. It forces you to see what you're actually doing... and what you're not doing.

The time diary doesn't have to be anything elaborate. Just buy a little spiral notebook that you can easily carry in your pocket. When you go to lunch, when you drive across town, when you go to the dry cleaners, when you spend some time shooting the breeze at the copying machine, make a quick note of the time you began the activity and the time it ends. Try to make this notation as soon as possible; if it's inconvenient to do it immediately, you can do it later. But you should make an entry in your time diary at least once every thirty minutes, and you should keep this up for at least a week.

Break it down. Write it down. These two techniques are very straightforward. But don't let that fool you: these are powerful and effective productivity techniques that allow you put an end to procrastination and help you get started to achieving your goals.

Facing the Enemies Within

Facing the Enemies Within by Jim Rohn


We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear.
Maybe some of our fears are brought on by our own experiences,
by what someone has told us, by what we've read in the papers.

Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town
at two o'clock in the morning. But once we learn to avoid that
situation, we won't need to live in fear of it.

Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions.
Fear can destroy fortunes.
Fear can destroy relationships.
Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives.
Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.

Let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from within....

The first enemy that we've got to destroy before it destroys us is
INDIFFERENCE. What a tragic disease this is. The man says, "Ho-hum,
let it slide. I'll just drift along." But here's one problem with
drifting: we can't drift our way to the top of the mountain.

The second enemy we face is INDECISION. Indecision is the thief of
opportunity and enterprise. It will steal our chances for a better
future. Take a sword to this enemy.

The third enemy inside is DOUBT. Sure, there's room for healthy
skepticism. We can't believe everything. But we also can't let
doubt take over. Many people doubt the past, doubt the future,
doubt each other, doubt the government, doubt the possibilities
and doubt the opportunities. Worst of all, they doubt themselves.
I'm telling you, doubt will destroy your life and your chances of
success. It will empty both your bank account and your heart.
Doubt is an enemy. Go after it. Get rid of it.

The fourth enemy within is WORRY. We've all got to worry some.
Just don't let it conquer you. Instead, let it alarm you. Worry
can be useful. If you step off the curb in New York City and a
taxi is coming, you've got to worry. But you can't let worry
loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner. Here's
what you've got to do with your worries: drive them into a small
corner. Whatever is out to get you, you've got to get it.
Whatever is pushing on you, you've got to push back.

The fifth interior enemy is OVER-CAUTION. It is the timid approach
to life. Timidity is not a virtue (unlike humility - they are
different).... in fact, it can be an illness. If you let it go,
it'll conquer you. Timid people don't get promoted. They don't
advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace. You've got to avoid over-caution.

Do battle with the enemy.
Do battle with your fears.
Build your courage to fight what's holding you back, what's keeping you from your goals and dreams.
Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.

You've GOT to Find What You Love!

Steve Jobs, chief executive officer and co-founder
of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios,
urged graduates of Stanford University to pursue
their dreams and see the opportunities in life's
setbacks—including death itself—at the university's
114th Commencement in Stanford Stadium on 6.15.2005.

Wearing jeans and sandals under his black robe,
Jobs delivered a keynote address that struck a
balance between the obstacles he has encountered
during his notably public life and the lessons he
has gleaned from his high-profile ousting in 1985
from the computer company he helped start.


Here is Jobs' speech...


"You've got to find what you love"

This is the text of the Commencement address
by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of
Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12,
2005.

I am honored to be with you today at your
commencement from one of the finest universities
in the world. I never graduated from college.

Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever
gotten to a college graduation. Today I want
to tell you three stories from my life. That's
it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first
6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in
for another 18 months or so before I really quit.

So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother
was a young, unwed college graduate student, and
she decided to put me up for adoption.

She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by
college graduates, so everything was all set for me
to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife.

Except that when I popped out they decided at the
last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my
parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in
the middle of the night asking:

"We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?"
They said: "Of course." My biological mother later
found out that my mother had never graduated from
college and that my father had never graduated
from high school.

She refused to sign the final adoption papers.
She only relented a few months later when my
parents promised that I would someday go to
college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I
naively chose a college that was almost as
expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-
class parents' savings were being spent on my
college tuition.

After six months, I couldn't see the value in it.
I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life
and no idea how college was going to help me
figure it out.

And here I was spending all of the money my p
arents had saved their entire life. So I decided
to drop out and trust that it would all work out
OK.

It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back
it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the
required classes that didn't interest me, and
begin dropping in on the ones that looked
interesting.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room,
so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I
returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy
food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across
town every Sunday night to get one good meal a
week at the Hare Krishna temple.

I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by
following my curiosity and intuition turned out
to be priceless later on.

Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best
calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout
the campus every poster, every label on every drawer,
was beautifully hand calligraphed.

Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take
the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy
class to learn how to do this.

I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about
varying the amount of space between different letter
combinations, about what makes great typography great.

It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in
a way that science can't capture, and I found it
fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application
in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing
the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And
we designed it all into the Mac.

It was the first computer with beautiful typography.
If I had never dropped in on that single course in college,
the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or
proportionally spaced fonts.

And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no
personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped
out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy
class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful
typography that they do.

Of course it was impossible to connect the dots
looking forward when I was in college. But it was
very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward;
you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to
trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.
You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life,
karma, whatever.

This approach has never let me down, and it has made all
the difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky ­ I found what I loved to do early in
life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage
when I was 20.

We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown
from just the two of us in a garage into a $2
billion company with over 4000 employees.

We had just released our finest creation - the
Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had just turned
30.

And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a
company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired
someone who I thought was very talented to run the
company with me, and for the first year or so things
went well. But then our visions of the future began
to diverge and eventually we had a falling out.

When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him.
So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had
been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and
it was devastating.

I really didn't know what to do for a few months.
I felt that I had let the previous generation of
entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton
as it was being passed to me.

I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to
apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very
public failure, and I even thought about running
away from the valley.

But something slowly began to dawn on me. ­ I still
loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had
not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but
I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting
fired from Apple was the best thing that could have
ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful
was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again,
less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one
of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named
NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love
with an amazing woman who would become my wife.

Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer
animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the
most successful animation studio in the world.


In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT,
I retuned to Apple, and the technology we developed
at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current
renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful
family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened
if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful
tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed
it.

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick.
Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only
thing that kept me going was that I loved what
I did.

You've got to find what you love. And that is as
true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your
work is going to fill a large part of your life,
and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do
what you believe is great work.

And the only way to do great work is to love what
you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking.

Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart,
you'll know when you find it. And, like any great
relationship, it just gets better and better as
the years roll on.

So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.


My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something
like: "If you live each day as if it was your last,
someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an
impression on me, and since then, for the past 33
years, I have looked in the mirror every morning
and asked myself: "

If today were the last day of my life, would I want
to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever
the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row,
I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most
important tool I've ever encountered to help me
make the big choices in life.

Because almost everything ­ all external expectations,
all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -
these things just fall away in the face of death,
leaving only what is truly important.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best
way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have
something to lose. You are already naked.

There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer.
I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it
clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas.

I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The
doctors told me this was almost certainly a
type of cancer that is incurable, and that
I should expect to live no longer than three
to six months.

My doctor advised me to go home and get my
affairs in order, which is doctor's code for
prepare to die.

It means to try to tell your kids everything
you thought you'd have the next 10 years to
tell them in just a few months.

It means to make sure everything is buttoned
up so that it will be as easy as possible for
your family.

It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that
evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an
endoscope down my throat, through my stomach
and into my intestines, put a needle into my
pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor.

I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told
me that when they viewed the cells under a
microscope the doctors started crying because
it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic
cancer that is curable with surgery.

I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and
I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades.

Having lived through it, I can now say this to you
with a bit more certainty than when death was a
useful but purely intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to
heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death
is the destination we all share.

No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it
should be, because Death is very likely the single
best invention of Life.

It is Life's change agent.

It clears out the old to make way for the new.
Right now the new is you, but someday not too
long from now, you will gradually become the
old and be cleared away.

Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living
someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma -
which is living with the results of other
people's thinking.

Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out
your own inner voice. And most important, have the
courage to follow your heart and intuition.

They somehow already know what you truly want to
become. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication
called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of
the bibles of my generation.

It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand
not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought
it to life with his poetic touch.

This was in the late 1960's, before personal
computers and desktop publishing, so it was all
made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid
cameras.

It was sort of like Google in paperback form,
35 years before Google came along: it was
idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools
and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of
The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had
run its course, they put out a final issue.

It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the
back cover of their final issue was a photograph
of an early morning country road, the kind you
might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were
so adventurous.

Beneath it were the words:


"Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish."


It was their farewell message as they signed off.
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always
wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate
to begin anew, I wish that for you.


Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.


Thank you all very much.

Work Like You Don't Need the Money

The following story truly expresses and demonstrates the power I feel
one must live EACH DAY to its fullest extent. Taking action, just one
thing, to bring you closer to Living Your Dream.


It began in a countryside village.....

Several times my daughter Susan had telephoned to say, "Mom, you must
come to see the daffodils before they are over".

I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead
"I will come next Tuesday", I promised a little reluctantly on her third
call. Next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and
reluctantly I drove there.

When I finally walked into Carolyn's house I was welcomed by the joyful
sounds of happy children. I delightedly hugged and greeted my grandchildren.
"Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible in these clouds and fog,
and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to
see badly enough to drive another inch!"

My daughter smiled calmly and said, "We drive in this all the time, Mother."
"Well, you won't get me back on the road until it clears, and then I'm heading
for home!" I assured her.

"I was hoping you'd take me over to the garage to pick up my car.” How far will we have to drive?"

"Oh...just a few blocks," Carolyn said. "I'll drive. I'm used to this." After several minutes, I had to ask, "Where are we going? This isn't the way to the garage!"

"We're going to my garage the long way," Carolyn smiled, "by way of the daffodils."

"Carolyn," I said sternly, "please turn around." "It's all right, Mother, I promise. You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience."

After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small gravel road and I saw a small church.

On the far side of the church, I saw a hand lettered sign with an arrow that read, "Daffodil Garden".

We got out of the car, each took a child's hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, as we turned a corner, I looked up and gasped. Before me lay the most glorious sight. It looked as though someone had taken a great vat of gold and poured it over the mountain peak and its surrounding slopes.

The daffodils were planted in majestic, swirling patterns, great ribbons and swaths of deep orange, creamy white, lemon yellow, salmon pink, and saffron and butter yellow. Each different colored variety was planted in large groups so that it swirled and flowed like its own river with its own unique hue. There were five acres of flowers.

"Who did this?" I asked Carolyn. "Just one woman," Carolyn answered. She lives on the property.

"That's her home." Carolyn pointed to a well kept A-frame house, small and modestly sitting in the midst of all that glory.

We walked up to the house. On the patio, we saw a poster.
"Answers to the Questions I Know You are asking" was the headline.
The first answer was a simple one."50,000 bulbs," it read.
The second answer was, "One at a time, by one woman.
Two hands, two feet, and one brain."
The third answer was, "Began in 1958."

For me, that moment was a life-changing experience. I thought of
this woman whom I had never met, who, more than forty years before, had begun, one bulb at a time, to bring her vision of beauty and joy to an obscure mountaintop.

Planting one bulb at a time, year after year, this unknown woman had forever changed the world in which she lived.

One day at a time, she had created something of extraordinary magnificence, beauty, and inspiration.

The principle her daffodil garden taught is one of the greatest principles of celebration. That is:
1. learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time
~~ often just one baby-step at a time ~~ and
2. learning to love the doing,
3. learning to use the accumulation of time.

When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we too will find we can accomplish magnificent things. We can change the world.

"It makes me sad in a way," I admitted to Carolyn. "What might I have accomplished if I had thought of a wonderful goal thirty five or forty years ago and had worked away at it 'one bulb at a time' through all those years? Just think what I might have been able to achieve!"

My daughter summed up the message of the day in her usual direct way. "Start tomorrow", she said. She was right. It's so pointless to think of the lost hours of yesterdays. The way to make learning a lesson of celebration instead of a cause for regret is to only ask, "How can I put this to use today?"

Deal with Fear like a Roasted Peanut!

Mark Victor Hansen has been one of my mentors
for more than 5 years now. I've learned so much
from this awesome, giant of a man yet completely
down to earth. Here's another practical exercise
from him on Conquoring Your Fears... Please put it
to WORK .... TAKE ACTION before your FEARS
ROB You of Your DREAMS.

The acronym for fear is:
F = False
E = Evidence
A = Appearing
R = Real


Most people are paralyzed by fear.
Overcome it and YOU Take Charge of
Your Life and Your World.
~~ Mark Victor Hansen

Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “You gain strength, courage,
and confidence by every experience in which you really stop
to look fear in the face. You must do the thing, which you
think you cannot do.” This quote states the problem and the
solution.

We must stop running away from things that frighten us, face
our fears head on, then do the thing we fear the most.

Most of the time we’ll find out that the “thing” was not that
scary after all. Our imaginations had behaved like a super
fertilizer and grown a grotesque monstrosity in our minds.
Remember, our imaginations are incredibly powerful. They can
work against us, creating horrible images that leave us
paralyzed with fear. But they can also work for us, building
a world where everything we do is an adventure, a miracle.

And the most amazing thing is that we hold the power to control
our minds – we allow fear to dominate our lives or we choose to
dominate fear. Those are our only two choices.



Where fear is allowed to reign, dreams are left to die. Everyone
feels afraid at one time or another, but to have everything we
want in life we have to push through our fears and do what needs
to be done. I know it’s sometimes scary to even think of doing
things that scare us – but what is even more frightening is to
think about coming to the end of our time on this planet having
never watched our heart’s greatest desires realized. We must free
ourselves from the constraints of fear, and allow our dreams to
fully manifest.


What is it that you fear the most?
Before you can eliminate fear from your life you’ll
need to identify exactly what it is that you fear.
It may only be able to come up with a few. Or you
may need to buy a few notebooks to make your list.
Whatever they are, and however many you have, it is
up to you to name them and begin to delete them –
one fear at a time.

How do you conquer fear?

There’s only one way – “do the thing you cannot do”.
Scary, but very necessary.

To begin to liberate yourself from fear take out
your journal or notebook (or notebooks) and ask
yourself these questions over and over again for
each fear, until you get to its core.

1. What am I afraid of?

2. Is this a fear I want to overcome and delete from my life?

3. Am I allowing this fear to keep me from achieving my dreams?

4. If I did the thing that I fear what would happen to me physically?

5. What would happen to me mentally?

6. Would the opinions of others matter to me if I did this? If so, why?

7. What’s the worst thing that could happen if I did this?
Could I live with this outcome?

8. What’s the best thing that could happen if I did this?
Would this outcome make me happier than I am right now?

Imagine it’s your last day on earth. As you review your life
is this fear going to haunt you? Will you say: “I wish I had
overcome this fear. I wasted years of my life allowing this
fear to control me.”?

Your answers to these questions – especially number 8 – will
determine whether you should procede to take action to
eliminate each fear from your life. When the positive results
outweight the negative possibilities you’ll know you need to
destroy the fear – or it will rob you and destroy your dreams.

Do you have any questions for Mark Victor Hansen?
Let me know through the comment form and let's get you the
answers.

Till next time, take care and be blessed.

....So What's the Diaper For?

The Secret of Building Great Wealth
adapted and learned from Randy Gage

I'm a firm believer of leverage. It's the secret of
the ultra wealthy. They find ways to leverage their
time, their efforts, or their money.

And the really bright ones leverage all three.

So can you. But you have to be smart.

As Mr. Rich Dad says, "Poor people work for money.
Rich people have their money work for them."

Can I get an "Amen!"?

I like three businesses, all of which offer leverage.
1) Network Marketing. (Which lets you leverage your talent.)
2) Information Marketing. (Which lets you leverage your
knowledge.)
3) Real Estate. (Which lets you leverage your money.)

What I told my young apprentice was this:

Open a network marketing, or information marketing
business. Work it till you build up a $30,000 or $40,000
a month income. Then live on 10 or 20 thousand a month,
and put $20,000 a month into real estate. That actually
allows you to leverage your leverage!

And when you invest 20K a month in real estate, you'll have
a net worth or $10 or $20 million dollars in no time. And
over time, you can even become a billionaire this way, if
you start trending your real estate into development and/or
commercial properties.

Give this some serious thought. And look at how you can
apply leverage to your wealth building.

Thanks for your mailings and questions.
Let me know how I can help you further.
I trust this has answered the leverage question for you.

How to Lose Friends and Infuriate People!

How to Lose Friends and
Infuriate People!

When people you trust let you down, that's when the Sad Saga rolls out.

For most the story begins after Paul and Penny Westhead, owners of Cashitz and Surfwize introduced a $10 admin fee in May 2005 (payable every six months) coercing their members to pay this admin fee before being able to receive any cashout. Then, when members requested their cashout (money they're owed by Cashitz/Surfwize) they were not paid and to date still have not been paid.

That is Paul's way to defraud and scam his unsuspecting members of more cash, without taking responsibility or being accountable for his incompetence, therefore he has consequences to face. Both he and his wife are incapable of sticking to their word owing to their total lack of integrity, greed and ego then turn around and blame everybody else for their ignorance, incompetence and inefficiencies!

This is totally illegal as even free members are unable to surf to build up their account to achieve a cashout level.

So now the controversy rages on:

The following is an excerpt from my mailing sent to my AutoSurf
subscriber's on 24 July 2005 View the complete article in my RSS feed
or at http://www.ebiztriumphs.info

Subject: Friend, Scam and Internet Fraud Alert

Hello Friend,

This is to advise you that cashitz.net and surfwize.com
are failing to pay members. The owners, Paul and Penny
Westhead have communicated to my most reliable source,
in writing, that they do NOT intend to pay monies owed.

We are filing grievances against the programs and the
owners and are hiring a lawyer to pursue this matter.

The primary intent is to collect money owed and to
prevent these unscrupulous owners from simply closing
the doors on these sites only to reopen other programs
in which they will repeat the scam and fraud.

From: "Autosurfinfo Admin "
To: "Christie Beaud"
Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2005 11:12 AM
Subject: Cashitz/Surfwize

Hello everybody,

This is a sad day as it marks the end of a relationship
I had with some people I used to call my friends. Most of you are or have been
members of Cashitz and Surfwize, and like me, most of you are still waiting to
be paid by both of these sites. Despite the poor treatment I have received from
both of these sites over the last 3 months, I have resisted the urge to publicly
denigrate either site. A few of you already know that Paul deleted my account
and kept all my earnings because of a comment I made in his forum. Those of you
that are aware of this are also aware that I was denied any right of reply, and
every further post I put in his forum was deleted. I was prepared to accept
this without making the issue too public, as I had made a mistake, and instead
of being 3 months overdue for payment it was only 6 weeks. Still not acceptable
for a site that promotes itself as having a 100% payout record. I kept a
copy of the response he deleted and you can see it at

http://autosurfinfo.com/openletter.html

As if that wasn't sad enough I have been waiting since 1st of May for cashout
at Surfwize. The last payout I received was during the month of May for April
earnings. I am owed for May, June and July, as are most of you. As you are
also aware Penny is a member of dadndaves autosurf. Due to the fact that Paul
and Penny were the original hosts of dadndaves autosurf, (that's another story
in itself, and you are all aware of the problems I had just after launch) Penny
had many hours start on the rest of the field when it came to promoting
dadndaves, and as a result won the referral contest for May, which I paid her
for. She had no earnings to cashout for May as she had compounded them, but I
would have paid her, as I paid everyone else who was due. She then came 3rd in
June, which I asked her to deduct from my June cashout. Of course the June
cashout never came. I also paid her on the 3rd of July for her June
earnings, after she promised me the cashout button at Surfwize would be open on
the 7th of July for all members. Almost a month later the cashout button is
still not open, the site is down, and she tells me she cannot pay because " I
can not get into the control area to pay members out at the moment", but the
front page of her site clearly states "and payouts are continuing whilst we are
down". Which is true?? Obviously, by the number of emails I have been
receiving from other disgruntled members the possibility of being paid is
becoming less and less by the day. I did not think it was fair on me, or other
Surfwize members, to have to wait 3 months to be paid, so I put her dadndaves
earnings "on hold" until I at least got some sort of response from her as to
when payouts would begin.

I then received an email from Penny demanding that I pay her what I owe her
today. "Demanding"?? What do you think would happen if you or I "demanded" to
be paid from Cashitz or Surfwize. All I asked for was some answers and I got my
account deleted, imagine what would have happened if I demanded to be paid.
Perhaps those of you who are still waiting should send her an email now and
"demand" to be paid. You'll probably get the same response from her as she got
from me, an angry email. I suggested we delete each others accounts and move
on, as despite her problem with arithmetic, the amount she owes me is similar to
the amount I owe her. The response I got to that was even stronger than a
"demand". Threats already!! "ok, I will treat you as a SCAM, and believe me I
can shout.", "You have 24 hours to pay me or I will close you down, if you don't
think I can watch and learn." and

"Pay me today or face the consequences." Well I would like to put the
record straight. Dadndaves is not a scam, dadndaves pays it's members when
payments are due, dadndaves does have a business plan that will guarantee your
payouts now and well into the future, unlike some others that stumble along for
12 months, then find out they can't do it properly and have to hire a "business
consultant", dadndaves does not, and will not ask it's members to pay a $10 fee
in order to keep operating, only to go offline a few days later, dadndaves does
not claim to have a 100% payout record, and then renegue on that claim,
dadndaves has a 99.9999% payout record, the only person who hasn't been paid is
Penny Westhead. For the record I have deleted Penny's account under the terms
on my front page which state "You won't get your account deleted unless you try
to defraud me" Penny has defrauded me and thousands of her members by
continually promising payouts which never come, then by charging a $10 fee to be
able to make payments, and still not paying. I will let the readers decide who
the scam is. Full transcripts of the aforementioned emails can be seen at
http://autosurfinfo.com/scam.html.


This is a sad day, and I didn't want to have to go public in this way, but if
anyone wants to declare that dadndaves is a scam then I have to take the
necessary steps to protect the integrity of the program.

Thank you all for listening

Happy surfing

Prove to me that you made cashouts amounting to $40'000
in June, to anyone OTHER than yourself, Penny, your companies
or fronts that you may be using. I want full names, amounts and
dates paid.

After you supply me with this information and only when this occurs,
I'll gladly retract my statement.

Oh! and btw a copy of this is going out to Ken Belz and David Cannard
and as you're probably aware, amongst us we have 000's of subscribers,
so someone who's been paid by you WILL be on one of our lists, enabling
us to confirm.

As being some of your best customers, how come none of them were paid
from May onwards?

Come right out and tell us the truth Paul.
What's going on with your sites and why
is *NOBODY* being paid?

Sincerely

Christiane Beaud

This, sadly ladies and gentlemen is the despicable nature of the beast of what and whom we're dealing with! It should be very clear to you now why I hesitated to take or waste my precious time and breath on this total & utter JERK. Fact is, he CANNOT prove or substantiate his claims of paying anyone, period. When the Forums are FULL of postings of "Not Being Paid" by either Cashitz or Surfwize PLUS hundreds more substantiated by email to us, there shouldn't be ANY doubt in YOUR mind as to who has or hasn't been paid! When thousands have NOT been paid and this moron will NOT produce ANY proof, who are YOU going to believe..?? Nobody is attempting to close his companies down! He's doing a good job of that himself and doesn't need our help! All we want is the truth and be paid what we're rightfully owed by his company. The truth will ALWAYS prevail. With the deadline having been reached, here is how this inept, petty-minded, cynical scam artist chose to word his FINAL REPLY to me. You bet I'll post your reply you scammer.... I want the world to see for themselves what an untrustworthy, lying, scheming and conniving, 'can't even read what is requested' jerk you are. These are the choice words you can expect from this scamming crowd should you ever choose to be scammed by them again....

On 5 August 2005 I was able to log into my cashitz account

..... the following is a notice in the members area:

Hi we started to cash members out yesterday but at the moment it is impossible we have an engineer working on upgrade to the server , also around the 10th june we cashed out 400 members then we had a glitch in the database and it took the database back by 2 days so i
paid the members but it does not show on the system i wrote to members to email me if their account had too much money in it but no one emaild me so now when iam cashing a member out i have to do a full audit of there account so it is taking 10 mins to cashout 1 person and i have 600 cashouts to do but i have to audit everyones account .

If any member has been cashed out and the balance has not been taken from your account, please let me know so I can cash you out quickly and to save your account being audited.

No kidding Paul - and whilst you're about auditing, get the pointers in place. Guess that comes from deleting some accounts from the basic data and not getting all the relevant sections attached to the persons you deleted!

Just a quick note.... Cashitz is open
- logged into my account .... what a joke!
Firstly got someone else's information.

Logged out and back in again - got my
info - clicked on credits to allocate got
someone else's list of sites. Hit my back
button and yet again got someone else's full
information. Logged out and back in again
clicked on email address.... yes, got yet
another person's data.

Incredible! Logged out and back in again and
got yet someone else's info.......... should I carry
on this way I could access everyone's information!

Should you have a Cashitz account PLEASE verify
what I'm saying! Click on any of your information
arrows, email, credits to allocate, etc then hit your
back button and see whose information you next get.........
what a totally hideous situation.

The site is totally insecure and corrupt.
All the pointers are incorrect.

This leads to us HAVING to take MASSIVE action
as this infringes on our privacy.

Nobody can do anything with your information except
to spam you.

No proper backup of our information was done by Paul.

Pretty pathetic state of affairs Cashitz is in, don't know
why he bothered to open it!

Please, if YOU HAVE or ANYONE you personally know,
HAS RECEIVED a cashout from Surfwize and Cashitz since
1 May 2005 PLEASE step forward. Should you not want to
reply to me, that's fine... PLEASE post in ANY of the forums
using your REAL name, NOT as a guest. I really find it so
difficult to believe that among the thousands receiving this
letter so far not one single person has come forward to give
anyone even a glimmer of hope that they've received a cent
from either scam site..... yet Paul purports to have paid out
$40k in June 2005.

Only comments on whether you HAVE received a cashout will be permitted.
Give us your Full Name, Amount Received and Date Paid (after May 2005). ALL others will be removed. This is NOT a forum!



Regarding the $10 admin fee most of us paid in May 2005, this was a NEW set of
rules that not even their own FAQ's or Terms and Conditions referred to.

Their Home page stipulates "100% Pay out Guarantee" - That's got to be the joke of the century because we STILL haven't been paid by either site since 14 March 2005. On 2 August 2005 they changed their home page to reflect the admin fee, however still guaranteeing earnings. This message has been on for a number of weeks:

Hi to all Cashitz Members, We are still having some problems with the new hardware on to our new server. Therefore we have decided to take the site off line whilst this problem is sorted out. All members will be credited for the downtime and payouts are continuing whilst we are down. We should be back up and running within the next few days. thanks Admin Please have patience as there is nothing we can do until the server problems are corrected and this is out of our hands. (my comment... yeah, right!!)

We at MentoringForFree are embarking
on a "30 day Mental Cleanse".

This is your personal invitation to join us.

WHAT is a "mental cleanse" you ask?
We are effecting a change from our
negative thinking to positive thinking.

That comes from deep inside.

This is what we are doing:

* Turning off our radio (in the house AND the car)
* Turning off the television set
* Turning off those pesky pop up ads on the computer
(not turning off the computer itself)
* Turning off the negative folks who enter our space (gently, please!)
* Turning off the video games Put the Newspapers aside

.... AND.... we are reading Napoleon Hill's wonderful classic
Think & Grow Rich over the 30 day period. This is available
from me, at no charge, as an adobe .pdf document so you
do not have to purchase the book!

Don't eat the whole elephant at one sitting!
You'll have 30 days to read the book and THINK about what
you're reading, WITHOUT all that "noise" coming in to your
brain from the things you're NOT listening to (as set out
above).

You'll find that you're changing.......
......becoming a more POSITIVE THINKING person.

Come along on this wonderful journey with us. You'll
also have a 30 minute "How are YOU doing" call on
Sunday evenings with Michael Dlouhy where you can
share your thoughts and progress with the rest of the
team, around 300 of us, during the 30 days.


I invite you to stretch yourself and become all that
you're meant to be....

What's that?

You'll join us?


Terrific.... and congratulations.



Click Here to fill out the short form.

Then send me an email, with NAPOLEON HILL in the
subject line and I will send you the ebook. Be sure to
include your full name and telephone number in the
email and be ready to accept a call from Michael Dlouhy
and myself to congratulate you!


I look forward to you being a part of this wonderful
journey with us.

Congratulations!


Practice abundance, prosperity and kindness.
