What are You Attracting into Your Life?
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009Are you grateful today? Do you appreciate the things, the people, the life you have? Are you looking and expecting beautiful things and experiences? It is easy to slip into negative thinking. Most people around us let 
circumstances in their lives bring them down. And guess what! They are going to share the negativity with everyone else including you if you are not careful. I’m not lecturing. It’s just a reminder. I was reminded of this today as I listened to Wayne Dyer
“It’s never crowded along the extra mile.”
Mr. Dyer speaks of being connected to your source. You could call source, God. By being connected to our source we can attract the things we want into our lives. Continue Reading
Telling an Authentic Story – One of the best Online Strategies
Monday, October 12th, 2009Online Strategies with Seth Godin
Seth Godin, has written books like “The Purple Cow”, and “All Marketers are Liars”, and “Permission Marketing.”. He is a genius when it comes to marketing and has one of the most popular blogs in the world out of gazillions of blogs. Seth’s Blog
Telling Stories
“Before we tell a story, we have to tell it to ourselves. The goal of every marketer is to create a ‘purple cow’. A product, or experience so remarkable, people feel compelled to tell someone about it. Remarkable goods and services help ideas spread. Not hype filled advertising. The best way to do that is craft a story that someone is able to tell to themselves. Build (your) organization by telling a story, and you dramatically increase the chances that the story gets told.” -Seth Godin in “All Marketers Are Liars” (He obviosly speaks of this concept in “Purple Cow” as well)

Detach From Your Income Goals and Make a TON of Money Online
Sunday, October 11th, 2009That Doesn’t Make Sense!
“Detach From Your Income Goals and Make a Ton of Money Online”.
That seems to be counter intuitive doesn’t it? Kind of a mystery or an enigma. We always hear how you have to have income goals and focus on what you want. I think that is true to some extent, but lets look at it another way.
I was listening to a 20 minute training by Jonathan Budd as he explained the mystery of detaching yourself from want you want and focusing on what it takes daily to get what you want.
He goes on to explain that expectations are a waste of energy. Why not instead, focus on becoming the person that attracts those top incomes. In other words when we have a plan to make money it never works out the way we expect and then we are disappointed. Wasted emotions of fear, lack of resources, and worry take up valuable space in our minds and emotions. It is only when we focus on acquiring those skills that attract success into our lives, that we become successful.

Is Gratitude Your Roomate?
I was having a unusually bad day the other day and I decided that I would do something to change that. I went to Barnes and Noble and picked up a book by Marci Shimoff called “Happy For No Reason”.
I started reading and I instantly felt better. Let’s talk about how we feel when we are practicing gratitude. What are some examples of gratitude? Maybe when your son or daughter who is away at college just calls to say hello. What about when we are traveling to visit relatives and we pull up in the driveway and get that first big hug? Are you grateful when someone does something out of the blue for you? Are you grateful for a cloudy day? Sounds like a strange question. You can be grateful for anything. You can even be grateful for criticism. It’s up to you on how you look at it. Maybe that criticism can help you become a better person. Who knows? I live in Arizona. I say aloud quite often…” I love water. Water tastes good.” People make fun of me for saying it, but really, water is good when you live in the dessert. Sometimes I’m grateful for those cloudy days especially in the summer heat.
Benefit of Practicing Gratitude
What can be gained by practicing gratitude? When you are grateful, a chemical reaction kicks off in your body and signals pleasure to your brain. When we are grateful our energy expands. Certain things contract our energy like hate, anger, revenge, blaming, etc. Gratitude is a very powerful force that expands our energy. Marci Shimoff, explains that we often look at gratitude like that fine china that we rarely take out. Or maybe it’s like those special towels that are only allowed to be displayed on special occasions. I choose to look at gratitude as my roommate. We can be grateful for anything. Try it.
Gratitude Exercises
I read a quote in “Happy For No Reason.” from an unnamed Zen Master. I want to share it with you.
“Thank you for everything. I have no complaints today whatsoever.”
I say this everyday. Even though I consider myself a positive person an awareness came over me. I do complain. Awareness is a good thing.
Please share you comments and suggestions below. I’m looking forward to your own gratitude exercises.
