Our Greatest Fear by Marianne Williamson

2009-06-18T09:12:00.000-07:00

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves;
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
handsome, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.
And, as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

An excerpt from The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale

2009-06-11T09:38:00.000-07:00

George Bernard Shaw said, "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them."
Well, it's pretty apparent, isn't it? And every person who discovered this believed (for a while) that he was the first one to work it out. We become what we think about.
Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn't know where he's going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety and worry - his life becomes one of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry. And if he thinks about nothing... he becomes nothing.
How does it work? Why do we become what we think about? Well, I'll tell you how it works, as far as we know. To do this, I want to tell you about a situation that parallels the human mind.
Suppose a farmer has some land, and it's good, fertile land. The land gives the farmer a choice; he may plant in that land whatever he chooses. The land doesn't care. It's up to the farmer to make the decision.
We're comparing the human mind with the land because the mind, like the land, doesn't care what you plant in it. It will return what you plant, but it doesn't care what you plant.
Now, let's say that the farmer has two seeds in his hand- one is a seed of corn, the other is nightshade, a deadly poison. He digs two little holes in the earth and he plants both seeds-one corn, the other nightshade. He covers up the holes, waters and takes care of the land...and what will happen? Invariably, the land will return what was planted.
As it's written in the Bible, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap."
Remember the land doesn't care. It will return poison in just as wonderful abundance as it will corn. So up come the two plants - one corn, one poison.
The human mind is far more fertile, far more incredible and mysterious than the land, but it works the same way. It doesn't care what we plant...success...or failure. A concrete, worthwhile goal...or confusion, misunderstanding, fear, anxiety and so on. But what we plant it must return to us.
You see, the human mind is the last great unexplored continent on earth. It contains riches beyond our wildest dreams. It will return anything we want to plant.

Staying the Course - By BJ Gallagher

2009-06-10T14:32:00.001-07:00

Our journey of life is about progress,
not perfection.
It's not about doing one thing
100% better -
it's a matter of doing 100 things,
1% better each day.
Progress is evolutionary
not revolutionary,
and most days we measure our progress
in inches,
not miles.
What matters most
is showing up for your life
whether you feel like it
or not.
Ask yourself,
"What two or three little things
can I do today
that would move me forward?"
You'll be amazed
at how much distance
you can cover
by taking it in increments.
The little things add up;
the inches turn to miles;
and we string together our efforts
like so many pearls.
Before long,
look what you have -
a whole strand!

Gratitude - Thought for the Week May 18 -22

2009-05-19T13:25:00.001-07:00

I am big on Gratitude. It keeps me in abundance. Concentration on what I have to be grateful for is so much better than concentration on what I don't have. I recently subscribed to a wonderful website by "TheGratidudes". I received this email this morning and wanted to spread the word. Enjoy!

Throughout your life you have been faced with, and will continue to face challenges. Some of those challenges may have come from a challenging home environment or a really bad break-up. Some may have been through a loss of money or material possessions. Look where you are at in your life right now. Are you hanging onto the pain from your past or are you focused on the gratitude for those experiences and moving forward with your life?

The challenges we have faced are the key to unlocking our destiny. The more gratitude that we can feel for them the more we are able to reveal the reason why we attracted them to us. This doesn't mean that you don't experience the emotions around it. Negative and positive emotions are emotions moving through the body and we have the pleasure of being able to experience them all.

Reverend Michael Bernard Beckwith, of Agape Spiritual Center said something very powerful one evening. He said, "When we have a vision, the Universe puts us through the challenges that best serve us, so that we may vibrationally align with that vision." Basically, what he's saying is that our challenges are really actually blessings that help us become the person and leader who we aspire to be in order to fulfill our vision. It is up to you to find the gratitude in every situation and learn the lessons that the Universe has made available to you.

Scientific research has shown how beautiful water crystals become when exposed to the "vibration of gratitude." Your healing and revealing is guaranteed when you practice gratitude for the experiences in life that at the time, seemed painful and denied you of positive experiences. You can shape yourself to be someone who always holds on to their pain. Or you can feel the gratitude for the lessons that the painful experiences brought to your life and move forward positively.

What coat are you wearing?

2009-05-13T12:03:00.000-07:00

The following post was written by my friend Heidi Katz. I loved her analogy and asked her permission to share it with all of you.

What coat are you wearing when you do your day? The coat of a CEO? The coat of a Law of Attraction practitioner who is attracting the visions and goals you anticipate achieving?

I ask because today, as I was in that never-never land between sleep and the alarm clock…I had a vision of me in a heavy coat of burden that was dragging me down. A big, over sized ugly heavy coat that was the coat of all my crap. And I walked, trudged rather, in that coat down a path and could never seem to get to the destination. Just trudging.

When I finally took it from my shoulders and let it drop on the ground and walked away from it, I felt SO much lighter and freer. Then, I saw a beautiful cloak. It was shimmery and diaphanous and light and lovely. I draped it on my shoulders. It is my cloak of The Law of Attraction. Wearing it, for me, is Me becoming peaceful, focused, successful, firm, and outrageously attractive to my prospects.

I think of Jennifer Lopez in her movie, Enough - a battered young wife who finally could not take it anymore. She sought final revenge. She trained with a martial arts coach. He taught her to fight. He taught her strategy, he taught her to visualize her goals, and visualize her strength when her murderous husband tried to fight back…he taught her to visualize him, too, speaking to her, coaching her in the very moment she needed him and her highest strength most. And of course, she was victorious.

What coat are you wearing?

Thought for the week - May 11 - 15

2009-05-12T12:50:00.000-07:00

A goal is something we do not have but want to attain.
A vision is expressed as something we already have!

People will choose to stay in a known hell rather than an unknown heaven!

Note to my Former Fellow Recruiters

2009-05-07T12:18:00.000-07:00

When I find a candidate today,
a deal gets closed today and…
I get paid today.

Are you tired of discounting your fees?
Fed up with Fee Agreements?
Do you enjoy cold calling?
Doing business with HR departments?
Do your candidates always show up for interviews?
If everything runs smoothly – how many telephone calls from start of process, to collection?
Do you like the 30, 60, and 90 day sales cycles?
And then the 30, 60, and 90 day collection cycles.

When you answered yes to most of the above questions, we should talk. Use your same skill set and eliminate all of the above.

I was an executive recruiter for over 18 years and successfully navigated the above processes, but the numerous points along the way where control got usurped, began to play on my psyche. Orders were changed or canceled and my knowing was not always a priority. Strange as it seems, sometimes my candidates even got offers on their own and didn’t deem it necessary to inform me.

I could go on and on, but I choose to stop now. There were some wonderful times and even some very nice fees, after all, I was involved in the business for 18 years.

About 14 months ago, one of my candidates asked for a personal meeting which I obliged. When I met with her again, she seemed very stress free and happy. She stated that she was no longer looking for a job. I was astonished and taken aback by her revelation. When I asked, why, she said that she found a fabulous opportunity working from home, adding value to other peoples’ lives, and earning very lucrative commissions.

Is that Win, Win, Win?

There was more discussion and I ultimately did my due diligence, liked all that I heard, put my skepticism aside, and took a “leap of faith”. It took me about 90 days to wind down my recruiting business as I was starting up my new business at the same time.

My current time freedom and financial freedom is refreshing. With a very short sales cycles and zero time spent on collections, my lifestyle is by intent, my intent.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

2009-04-29T13:16:00.000-07:00

Celebrate every challenge as a victory. There is a beautiful lesson to be learned in all the pain we go through in our lives. If we go through life looking at all our challenges as "problems," then the Universe will continue to send those same problems (usually in different forms) our way until we learn the lesson that's supposed to be learned, and we find peace and gratitude with the situation.

2009-04-28T12:08:00.000-07:00

I want my blog to be a plethora of tidbits that will motivate, answer questions and be fun. This story was sent to me this morning, and I felt that the message was something to share. Enjoy!

Love The Climb

I started doing cycling at the local Good Life Fitness gym last year.
If you've ever done stationary cycling you know how grueling it can
be.

It's a deep pain and extremely exhausting. That little bike can dish
out quite a punch. It is a great workout.

It's been over a year now. I've been cycling once per week to get into
better shape for hockey. It's worked!

When I first started cycling I used to hate climbing. Climbing is when
you crank up your gear shift (resistance) on the bike. You crank it so
you literally have to jump out of your seat to hammer down those
pedals and keep moving.

It takes every ounce of energy and effort to keep moving forward. It
tests your will and your mind. Walking down a set of steps after this
work out is not an option. Welcome to the climb.

I almost fell off the bike once when climbing. It was my fourth week
cycling and we were running a climbing circuit. The circuit went like
this: Stand up and climb for 5 seconds, down for 10 seconds, up for 5
and down for 10, and so on and so forth. As I was going up and down on
one of those cycles I was spinning too fast and lost my footing - and
almost lost the bike too!

Yesterday I was climbing again. When the music started and we were
about to climb, I got excited!

All I could see was this massive mountain in front of me.

As I was climbing I was thinking about every challenge that has ever
come my way. I was thinking about every obstacle that has ever been in
my path. I was thinking about every time I've ever gotten knocked down
and how I got back up.

The mountain is a metaphor for all these things. Now, when I start a
climb I think to myself,

"You're mine! I'm gonna eat you up!"
And you know what, that's what happens when I leave the gym. Every
time I face a new challenge, an obstacle or get knocked down, I think
of the climb. I realize that there are only two options - go back
where I came from or love the climb.

To the top!

Dear Friends -

I found this fabulous website and want to share it with the women in my life. I had a tough time years ago with the subject of menopause. Nobody spoke the word or even talked about it. Now, things are very different. Check out this fabulous website for further info, any questions, or even just to know that you're not alone. You'll be so glad you did!

Thought for the Week

We all have the ability within us to transform the power of knowledge into energy, energy into action and action into untold abundance of health, wealth, hope and freedom. We have a responsibility to be successful and create our own wealth so that we may be at cause for helping make the world a better place for us to live.

In response to Recruiter Fees Squeezed By Lack Of Jobs

I'm a former recruiter who's been through four recessions! Now, as a "Baby Boomer", and finding it virtually impossible to place "other boomers", I have found a network marketing career that has shifted me back into feeling like I am accomplishing something again. No more arguing about fees and what its worth to have a "professional" find the right candidates. Stop fighting the corporate world. It's changed and will never again be as we knew it. Start thinking about how you can transfer your skills into something you can control! With lay offs, cut backs, out-sourcing and fear - something has to change. Take control of your own life! Britain, Australia and the US are experiencing a huge upswing in our industry! Our sales are 62% up over last year. Feel the value of your talents with people! Don't let your income be affected by the lack of jobs.
There are alternatives available! If you're a recruiter or any other sane person who wants to get out of the rat race - contact me!

Dr Susan Love's Campaign to Fight Breast Cancer

2009-01-28T10:00:00.000-08:00

I just attended a dinner of a womens group I belong to: BTW - Big Thinking Women. The speaker tonight was Dr. Susan Love, foremost almost a celebrity in breast cancer research. She is just terrific and energetic and creative and determined to learn things we do not yet know…like how the chemistry of breast milk impacts cancer…what the ducts are really composed of…osteoporosis…and all kinds of things.

In order for her to know more, she needs us to volunteer to be part of various study groups, test groups, clinical studies and things like that. So her foundation has created Army of Women, http://www.ArmyOfWomen.org

Go there. Sign up. You'll receive emails occasionally, and, if you are asked to participate in any number of studies, then you'll have the opportunity to say yes or no. This is a large pool of various women of various ethnicities, ages, nationalities who have volunteered to help The Cause.

This is one of the first times every that women will be studying women. She already has 250,000 volunteers from all over the world. She really wants 1,000,000.

Here is what their letter of invitation says:

The Love/Avon Army of Women offers women the opportunity to partner with the scientists who are conducting research that will end this disease--once and for all. Breast cancer has been around for decades, but it does not have to be our future. We can be the generation that stops breast cancer once and for all by figuring out what causes this disease and how to prevent it! Sign up for your sister, mother, daughter, granddaughter, best friend, and the woman you met last week. This is YOUR chance to be part of the research that will end breast cancer. It takes a just a minute to join. But the impact we will have will last a lifetime. Please Join Me in Being One in a Million!

So do it!! Spread the word. Initially, Susan obtained these numbers from a huge press initiative. Now, the press has moved on and it's up to us to spread the word virally.

I love you for taking part. Tell everyone, survivors or not, healthy or not, young or not, fit or not, gorgeous and charming or not.

A Successful Home Based Business…

2008-12-13T17:18:00.000-08:00

If you want to change your life, you must first change your mind

Mindset: That is the engine, which runs our machine. Our thoughts are very powerful tools. Most people allow the environment to control what they think and just go with the flow allowing others to create their outcomes. If this really worked, we could coast along allowing external forces to determine our lives and our success or failure. Sadly, the masses go down this path all too often and never attain the success in their minds because they do not allow their minds to determine their success

Operating a home based business requires discipline and more importantly a positive mindset. As we proceed, you will soon realize that mindset represents more than 90% of your success. Working at home can certainly give you freedom and flexibility to do what you choose, but it can become a lonely enterprise if you let negativity or rejections control your thoughts. Personally, I start my day with meditation and a long walk. Put yourself in a state of gratitude. Think about how fortunate you are to enjoy this time on your own, to take in the beauty of nature around you, stop and smell the roses. Notice the change of seasons or just appreciate the season you’re experiencing right now. Listen to the sounds of life around you, or appreciate the silence if you’re able to walk in the woods, lake or on a beach. Recognize the love you enjoy from family and friends. Think about how grateful you are to be in good health. In other words, clear your head and stay in the present. Focus on what your want – what you really want - and be that person NOW.

Success with a home based business starts with you and your MINDSET. In truth, it is the one constant of any successful business opportunity. To have success, mindset is confidence in yourself and your product. Mindset is positive and passion for what you’re doing. From my experience, most new entrepreneurs are too anxious to get started with income producing activities, which at first glance, seems like a good idea – but isn’t. To start your advertising campaigns or marketing or making telephone calls will tend to cause frustrations that will build on themselves and you will automatically allow the results to determine your actions. The voice you use on the telephone and the inflections and tonality will be reflective of your attitude. When you are coming from this place your advertising and marketing are going to mirror YOU. You will not attract the right prospects to invite success.

Simply put, our thoughts determine our feelings. Our feelings lead to our actions and our actions determine our results. Being in action means doing and doing does not mean thoughtless doing – it means doing it right. If you really believe in your thoughts, feelings, and actions, don’t let the initial results cause you to waver – give it time – believe in your actions and remember success is not 100%, or nothing. Reggie Jackson, while playing baseball for the Oakland A’s once said, “I only have to be right one-third of the time and I get paid a lot of money.” This means that if he got a hit once in three tries, he was successful. What does it take in your business? Can you earn tons of money if you make one sale for every ten people with whom you speak? By letting the outcome or the results of your first three calls of the day determine the rest of your day, it’s time to take that walk again. Believe in the actions you are taking and continue – with a positive mindset. You may even say thank you after receiving a “no” – this brings you closer to a “yes”.

Napolean Hill said, "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve." All great achievements and accomplishments, the mind conceives first. Star athletes visualize the process as well as the outcome. The next time you see Tiger Woods play golf notice that he looks at the hole and looks at where he is, and you can see him visualize the flight of the ball. He then addresses the ball and hits it. It doesn’t always go where he wants, but he is successful enough to be the best golfer in the world. Don’t go running off to the think tank just yet; merely thinking is not mindset. Conceiving is really achieving in your mind, and whatever you do, your success cannot surpass the limits you have put on your mind. Many people dream of becoming wealthy and don’t – why? Because the limits they have put on themselves will not allow it to happen – this is mindset.

Keep in mind it is simple to see what is wrong on this planet, in the world, or in your life. It takes some training, but start by seeing what you want for yourself and simply expect it to happen. Visualize vividly – this is mindset.

Everything in the universe is made up of energy. Your thoughts create the energy that ultimately lead to your results. Your positive thoughts will be sent out to the universe and be echoed back to you multi fold. By the way, your negative thoughts will also return to you many times over, so choose your thoughts wisely - practice and watch the changes in your actions and in your life.

Home based businesses are growing dramatically and are one of the fastest growing segments of the economy and in climates like the present, they continue flourish.
