. With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, Which almost went unnoticed until last week. Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey", died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.
. A few years back, a friend of mine, Dr. Michael Cortson had three forms of terminal cancer; pancreatic, liver, and colon. The medical profession did all they could but it wasn't enough. He was put into a hospice to die. He changed his attitude from thinking like a loser about his health condition to thinking like a winner and his cancer went POOF. He wrote a book about the attitudes that saved his life, it's called Winning Thinking. I suggest getting a copy of his book so you can live life with the strongest attitudes possible.
. Here is another dumb idea that is making the thinker of that dumb idea rich. It is a spray bottle you fill with water. You turn on the fan and at the same time mist yourself on a hot summer's day.

After I watched this video, I was so inspired by the theme of it, I went in search for more information on the subject. Although unrelated I found a book dealing, in detail, with the same subject matter that is covered in the video. As much as I loved this video (I get goosebumps every time I watch it) the book SHIFT (Change your words, Change your world) by Janet Smith Warfield is utterly AMAZING. It is a magnificent read. This one book that should be mandatory reading in every high school and college in the world..

. When you begin feeling pressure to achieve your goal, that's the universe telling you to back off and let others jump in and help you along the way. (Bill Gates let others help make him rich and you can too, maybe not that rich, but rich enough for you.) .
Inspiration is God passing his creative ideas on to you that will make you feel good and when you share them with others, will make other people feel good too. .

understand terms how you can become a person of power by changing
your words. Change your words, change your world.
Want to be brilliant? In order to be brilliant you must risk making a jackass of yourself from time to time. That's what brilliant people do.
If you think you are brilliant, over time, other people will recognize your brilliance too. The opposite is also true.

TRUST YOURSELF - Best article ever written on the subject. Many people agree - http://ping.fm/w94jx
Your are good enough, deserving enough, worthy enough. Deal with it. - God
What we freely give to others is given back to us multiplied. The keyword is 'freely'.
Trust your good feelings more than your bad and you will attract more good things to you.
Life is easier than you think unless you think it is hard, then for you, it will be.
The moment you mentally release a problem, you create room in your mind for the answer to spontaneously appear.
Whatever we focus our attention on the most, we attract more of the same
Fantasy is the beginning of reality, not a substitute for it. Think Christopher Columbus, Orville and Wilbur Wright, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs.
Life is not a problem to be solved, it's an adventure to be lived
Blame is what people do when they give their 'personal power' away to others.

Satisfaction and contentment wash over me when I do the ordinary things in life, extraordinarily well
When you think more of yourself than what other people think of you, what other people think of you won't matter to you at all
I have two goals in life. One, to never disappoint myself and two, to do the ordinary extraordinarily well.
Thoughts that feel good to you are the right thoughts for you...
Accepting, in the moment, what you do not like sets you free to create what you will like..
Minds wander into trouble like little kids do. Keeping a watchful eye on your 'wandering mind' will keep you in a peaceful state of mind.
Keeping your mind focused where your body is reduces stress while allowing your mind to wander too far away from your body increases stress.

These insights about affirmations excerpted from my friend Jonathan's Be-ing REAL Blog
An affirmation you believe in will produce AMAZING results for you. The only reason affirmations don't work for some people is because they are repeating words they don't believe in. Any affirmation you do not believe in will not work for you. When using affirmations make sure you fully believe in them.
If you don't fully believe an affirmation as it is written, rewrite it in your own words until you do. It is important to include the word NOW in your affirmations. The word NOW begins the process of change happening in your life now, not next week or next year, but NOW..
