TEAM - Together Everyone Achieves Miracles

No one has achieved great success on their own.

The idea that you have to do it all by yourself is one of
the false beliefs that keeps so many people from living
A passionate life.

To achieve great things, find those who compliment your
skills, your knowledge, your talents and your passions.

If you want to reach many, partner with those who have a
bigger audience than your own.

Achieving Your New Year's Goals

With the holiday season in full swing and 2011 fast approaching, now is the perfect time to begin setting your goals for the New Year. Many of us set New Year's resolutions each year but often find we haven't made much progress on the goals as the year went along.

Rather than focus on what you didn't achieve, celebrate the victories that you did have this year and look for new ways to refocus on the goals you still want to accomplish.

The Rule of 5
One principle to help you re-energize and make significant progress towards completing your goals is called The Rule of 5. The Rule of 5 simply means that every day, do five specific things that will move you closer to realizing your goal. As psychologist Ron Scolastico said, "If you would go every day to a very large tree and take five swings at it with a very sharp axe, eventually, no matter how large the tree, it would have to come down."

Jack Canfield's Quote of the Month:
"Whatever the explanation, the reality is that what you want,
wants you."

The Rule of 5 embodies a key principle of successful people...daily consistent effort. The actions you choose don't have to be large things. Just identify five actions that will get you closer to your goal and do them. Perhaps you follow-up with five sales presentations you have made. Maybe you eat three healthy meals and two nutritious snacks. Or, you can commit to expressing gratitude to five people during the day.

The tendency might be to put them on the list and hope that you "get to them." That's not enough. You know that if it's just on the list, the tendency will be to do the things that are screaming loudest for your time and attention—the urgent things, the things for other people. Your goal deserves a higher priority. Make those five things the highest priority in your day and set aside protected time on your written schedule to do them. Perhaps even do them first before anything else. Don't go to bed without having completed them. Those small successes towards your goal will infuse your day with enthusiasm, energy, a sense of completion, and positive momentum.

Start the New Year Fresh and if you are wanting a little help in staying on track just give me a call and we will chat.

Do you need a nudge to stay on track to complete the goals you want to achieve? We can work together I will help you clarify your vision and hold you accountable to your goals so you can't procrastinate any longer.

My Love to you

MERRY CHRISTMAS and A WONDERFUL NEW YEARS TO YOU ALL!

THANK YOU FOR BEING AN ESSENTIAL PART OF MY LIFE. YOU EACH BRING ME A NEW, INSPIRING WAY OF LOOKING AT THINGS.

THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!

MY LOVE TO YOU ALL OUT THERE!

Being happy all the time is very much a matter of habit. If you don’t have the habit, it is easy to create it.

Let us first define “being happy”.

You are unhappy, generally speaking, when you do not have something that you wished you had. Want-related thoughts make you restless and dissatisfied.

But suppose it is the person across the street who is disturbed by a want. You would not be restless and dissatisfied because it is not you who has the want.

Well, surprise: all these years when you were disturbed by wants, it wasn’t “you” who had the wants.

It was your mind that had the wants. You are merely aware of your mind. You are a still, motionless witness to it. The mind is an object, and you are watching it.

But do not take my word for it, verify this arrangement for yourself. The next time a thought strikes you, try and put your finger on who was aware of the thought. Once you have located that “who”, dwell in the “who” for a while. Rinse and repeat; you will realize that this “who” is absolutely still and peaceful, and is watching your thoughts like a person in a theater watching a movie (your mind is the movie).

What you have to do is reside in this “who” all the time while being constantly and peacefully aware of all your thoughts. When your thoughts decide that you should do something (just as they have in the past), spur your body on to perform that action.

In the eyes of the outside world, you will be going about your life as usual; inside, you will be watching your mind and body going about your life as usual, only “you” will be absolutely peaceful and undisturbed.

But… you have to remember to be this way throughout the day. Here is a method for doing that: set alarms in your mobile phone to remind you every two hours to“identify with the motionless witness”, and set these alarms to repeat daily over several weeks. With practice you will find that when the alarm rings, you will already be the motionless witness. How do I know? Because it is happening to me!

So give it a whirl… first find the “who” that is aware of your thoughts, then be that “who” throughout the day. START NOW!

Charles Dickens

People the world over are familiar with Charles Dickens' classic holiday tale, A Christmas Carol. We watch the selfish behaviors of Ebenezer Scrooge and know that he is due to get his comeuppance, while we remain secure in the knowledge that on our worst day we have never been as bad as Scrooge.

And when the three Spirits of Christmas -- Past, Present, and Yet to Come -- teach him his spiritual lessons by showing him images of the choices he made along the way, we learn along with Scrooge the importance of our choices and the value of every single day, and every single living being who crosses our path or touches our lives.

What if, this year, you were to be visited by those same three Spirits? What images would you be shown from your past and in your present? What warnings of fate would your Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come reveal to you so that you could commit yourself to improving your life with a glad and grateful heart?

None of us is likely as miserly as Scrooge; Charles Dickens made certain of that when he created this memorable character. Yet each of us, more than likely, has areas in which we could improve, or one major vice we have yet to conquer in our lives. And even if we have our lives fairly well in order, most of us could stand to be a little more compassionate with the struggles of those around us.

We could be a little kinder or more considerate to our families, to people we encounter in the workplace, to strangers we meet on the street, or even other drivers on the road.

We could be a little more charitable in our donations, this year, wherever we may feel led to make a contribution.

We could be a little more gracious in extending to our fellow beings the stretched out hand of tolerance, and the boon of true forgiveness.

And we could take the time this holiday season to hold our loved ones close, and tell them once and for all how very dear they are to us -- and how much they bless our lives.

May this joyous holiday season bring the loving Spirits of Christmas to you, so that your life may be blessed and your spirit renewed. May you enjoy love and peace this season, and throughout the coming year.
