Prosperity and Weight Loss

One wouldn’t think that weight loss has anything to do for prosperity. Yet it seems that through the eyes of employers and our social circles that prosperity seems to elude us in one form or another.

 Well let us put the record straight. Most employers look at you! So if you don’t look your best and feel confident, what do you think your perspective employer will think of you. Yes, we do hope that they will measure our experience and skills as Paramount. That is not the real world.  Employers look at you and your physical presence and evaluate accordingly.

Employers are aware that people who are overweight pose problems when it comes to having good health. That is not to say that you are not healthy. It is just statistical information that will draw the attention of the prospective employer.

 You know a lot of people want to become prosperous, but they don’t look the part. Being overweight makes one look as if they are careless about their health. That is just plain and simple talk. If you want to become truly prosperous maybe the first place to start is with your own health.

You want to look good! Actually you want to look fantastic. Well the impression could be carried over by your personality but it will not be congruent with your physical conditioning. To be prosperous confidence in not only what you know but also in how you present yourself.  If you look prosperous, the subconscious part of the physical should match your skill and educational levels as well.

 Even for promotions in some cases if a person would have lost a few pounds that employer would have noticed you right away from the new clothes or the astounding weight loss that you have taken responsibility for.

This is not to say that you can not succeed and be prosperous being overweight, far from it. I do believe because of the stereotyping that goes on, prosperity could be attracted much quicker if one is in control of themselves. Frankly I don’t care on a certain level of what anybody else thinks of me. What is most important is what I think of myself. Yet I do want to show that I am aware of my body and do lose weight. I believe it is important for ones own self esteem.

 I have been doing The Master Cleanse Diet and a modified one and lost 7 pounds already in 4 days. Guest what “no exercise or special menu’s” Pretty good don’t you think?

Prosperity does relate to the physical, don’t fool yourself into believing otherwise.

Why Britney Spears Can’t Change

A lot of people are still on the Britney Spears bandwagon. She has lost custody of her children what next? Talk of Intervention? I think this is coming in a little too late. She is now paying this Fedex 15K a month for child support. With a real good attorney he can milk her for a few hundred thousand a month.

Britney is heading fast to working at a diner.  Don’t forget Fedex is paying for 2 other children he had not very long before he worked with Britney.  His meal ticket is attached to Britney, I wonder what will happen if suddenly the money runs out? I bet you he will send those children back faster than you can spit. He would certainly have to make other arrangements, maybe have one of the parents start to take of care of his kids while he looks for, dare I say it, Work!

I hope he has been practicing his dance moves because he may be back at work rather soon, if Britney doesn’t get on track shortly. Do I understand this correctly, the guy Britney is with now is married? What is going on here?

There is a simple answer, Britney Spears has a self image problem. She is fixed on a set of conditional habits and they tend to bring her right back to where she was before. These paradigms are her habits. Those behaviors are the things that she needs to modify. Most people don’t know that they have habits. These habits are formed unconsciously. You will never out perform your self image. If your self esteem or self Image is low, the paradigms are keeping you there.

Britney Spears must change her self image. This can only be done by her. Yes, people can help her, but it boils down to education and coaching. She needs a real guide, not a phony that does not get the results that are expected. She simply doesn’t yet have the right guidance to keep herself on the growth track and start being more responsible.

This has nothing to do with money, but it will eventually spill over to that. She took a hit on one of the award shows, she is getting very little sales from what I understand from her new record. I have no idea how much money she spends, but it seems she is always out shopping or partying.

Britney Spears is a wonderful girl. But, she really needs some help. Like I say, give her to me for a couple of months and I will get that behavior corrected, paradigms gives you blindspots, she needs to have her eyes opened.

That is my message,

Why Bother With The Master Cleanse?

There’s a lot of buzz surrounding the Master Cleanse. Lately it seems like every Hollywood actress or actor who needs to get in shape is turning to this decades old health system that involves drinking a mixture of lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper.   With all the diets out there to choose from why would anyone bother with the Master Cleanse?  

There are two main reasons people like the Master Cleanse. The first (and most obvious) is that it works. The results people are getting with the Master Cleanse border on miraculous, and they are backed by thousands of devoted users who are living testimonials to the effectiveness of the Master Cleanse.   

The second reason people choose the Master Cleanse over other diets and wellness programs is that it’s fast. The typical person only spends 10 days on the Master Cleanse, compared to other diets that can last months or even years you can see why they choose the Master Cleanse.   

Another interesting thing about the Master Cleanse lasting just 10 days is that you only need a short term burst of will power to get through it. Having to sacrifice for months is what makes other diets so hard to stay on, but most people can will their way through 10 days.   What can you expect from 10 days on the Master Cleanse?  Even though most people are going on the Master Cleanse to lose weight quickly, there’s many other health benefits to be gained by doing the Master Cleanse.

Flushing out your system is what the Master Cleanse is really designed to do. Even back 60 years ago when the Master Cleanse was first invented people had health problems as a result of waste building up inside of them. Today with processed foods, pollution, and all around poor diets our bodies desperately need to be flushed out every once in a while.   When you flush out your body with the Master Cleanse the waste you eliminate will be abnormal. The smell, color, and texture of the waste that comes out of your body shocks some people, so you should be prepared.  

 If you want to try the Master Cleanse there’s more you need to know then just drinking the lemonade mixture for 10 days. In fact most people who try the Master Cleanse without knowing all the steps fail. If you think the Master Cleanse is something you would like to try there’s a good book at http://lose18poundsin9days.info that you should read before starting the Master Cleanse because it covers the common problems people face, and how to avoid them.

Weight Loss And “The Master Cleanse Diet”

Let me start by telling you what the Master Cleanse Diet isn’t. It is not a weight loss program and you will lose weight and tons of it. I have actually followed the Master Cleanse Diet or better known as the Lemon Cleanse or Lemonade Diet. I lost 18 pounds in 9 days. That is right 18 pounds in 9 Days.   

This Lemonade diet is not a diet. It is a detoxifying or colon cleansing fast. It is very effective. Used properly one can lose several waist sizes in as little as 7 to 10 days. This is a way of performing a natural cleanse. 

Now mind you, it is not a substitute for eating right or exercise. A lot of people have the perception that this is a diet. The purpose of this system is to cleanse the gunk that is inside you.    If you think that you don’t have gunk, let me clue you in on something, I didn’t believe I had that much in me. I exercise and eat pretty well. Now imagine not eating for 9 days and losing 18 pounds. What does that tell you? It tells me one thing and that is there is a lot of junk we accumulate and we carry it along with us, without any thought on the matter. Most people who are 20 pounds overweight could lose that much in less than 2 weeks.   

 I am not a doctor, nor will I tell you if it is safe or not. Lose 18 pounds in 9 days using the lemonade diet was eye opening. This is still one of the most effective ways to have a natural cleanse without any real effort on your part. Though there is a tremendous loss of weight, the Master Cleanse program works to help you cleanse from the toxins that are stuck to you from who knows when.  Weight loss is just a by-product of this cleanse but the way it leaves you feeling is outstanding. The measure of success on this cleansing program is not how much weight you lose it is about how good you feel.  I must admit I was very uncomfortable for the first 2 days. Then it was really easy to do for the next 7 days.   

 I had a friend who took this too far. Instead of doing it for 10 days he did it for 30 days and ended up going to see his doctor. He couldn’t figure out why he was so dizzy and weak. The doctor asked him what was he doing and he said he was doing the Master Cleanse. The doctor seem to know something about it, and when he inquired as to how long he was on this program, he said 30 days. The doctor explained to him 30 days was too long. This program is supposed to be done within 10 days, you can go longer, but it isn’t really recommended.   

I’ll tell you this much, after the 7^th day I never felt so clean inside and out. My tummy was flat I was 21 pounds lighter and felt so clean. My caution is doing the lemonade diet or lemon cleanse is that you can go too far, like my friend did. Some doctors do not recommend this diet for various reasons. More holistic type doctors are more for it. My experience showed me that you do have to watch what you eat. When dealing with weight loss the Master Cleanse can be used as one of the tools.    

Weight loss is not a one thing to do only. Nor is it just diet and exercise. Diets do not work and they do not handle the full impact of weight gain. That aside one can use the lemon cleanse in conjunction with several other tools. First of all you must have a goal and that goal has to be yours. Next you need to have a compelling reason to lose weight. Then you can look at modifying your behavior toward food. Add to that making better food choices and also exercise. You must educate yourself along the way, to know what the best food choices are etc.   

The Lemonade Diet is just a catch phrase. The cleansing mixes lemon juice, cayenne pepper and a class B maple syrup. Also there are foods that you can eat and tea that you can add to it. The Master Cleanse is done from 1-10 days it does not go beyond that unless the person feels that they can.  Look at it as a “fast,” you can do this once every 3 months. This would help to keep you weight down, but again unless you are using other tools, there is only so much benefit before it turns into a danger.   

 It is very easy to follow. Anyone can do it and I do recommend that you check with your doctor especially if you have a pre-existing condition, if you are going to do it for more than one or two days. You just simply follow the instructions. I believe you will find it very effective. Now, don’t forget, in order “not to put the weight back on” you will need to have another plan in place as soon as you are off the Master Cleanse.   

This is a perfect opportunity to refocus your attention on the correct foods, discipline and behaviors, to keep the weight off permanently. What you will discover upon coming off the lemon cleanse diet is what foods impact you positively or negatively. The book instructs you what to eat as you are coming off the cleanse itself. Just as you go on it, you also must know how to ease off the natural cleanse.   

When I lost the weight I was probably more shocked than anyone I knew. Lose 18 pound in 9 days, was not that hard. It was uncomfortable, but not difficult. I know if I could muster the strength to do it anyone can. The Lemon Cleanse diet is a good start but it isn’t the end all. Your own self discipline is what will make you successful in your weight loss quest.

What is your message?

We all are constantly sending out messages, whether by word or by body language.  Are you sending out the right messages? Since we do have control over our thoughts we have that advantage to change our messages at any time.  Now just think about this, we can smile, think happy thoughts, change our biophysical chemistry and that is what we broadcast to others.

 

Some people have difficulties when they are in a poor state of mind. They can not seem to put themselves in the proper frame of mind. There is something to the statement of turning that frown upside down. A smile communicates many things, that one is happy, loving and another being confident. Laughter always helps and sometimes I do look for a joke or two to break my mood. I find that smiling is always helpful it puts me in a position of advantage. 

 

There is a statement which goes like this “Production is the basis of Morale.” That statement is true, in that, if your production is leading you towards that which you want, you morale is high. Think about that, when you are in the trenches working on a project, you want a certain outcome or result, what happens? I know with myself I am focused, happy, confident, feeling very powerful. Yet if your production is aimless, or you have no outcome in mind, what occurs is that you tend to lose your enthusiasm for the project.  

 

Bob Proctor once said “there were these stock brokers who were excited because they were making money, but the truth is they were making money because they were excited.” This is definitely a true statement. These past few weeks I have been excited about taking part in an opportunity, and because I got excited, I started to make money.  But as soon as any doubt or grim thought comes in then the mood shifts and nothing happens.

 

We can neutralize our enthusiasm by just thinking the opposite “The What If” scenario, which will steal your power. Keeping in that state of mind to produce income, is a fine line. It is like you are placing yourself on a fence, lean to one direction and there you will fall, lean to other and there you are. Funny thing about our choices, even this example makes me laugh, but it is so true, because we can be very perplexed. Our own thoughts can betray us. Is this the message you want to send? If our thoughts can betray us so quickly, what is the tool that we can use to offset these feelings? It is as simple as a smile, a laugh or a thought of love. Think of a little kitty in your hands, you whole mood just changes.

 

What we focus on does expand. Let us take a look at what we are focusing on. This in itself sends out that message to the material world and the universe. We are so bent on having evidence placed in our view that sometimes we forget the right sequence in which things manifest in our lives. To continue to harp on not seeing results only reinforces the same behavior that brings about those results we are not seeing. This may not be stated eloquently but it is true none the less.

 

You know sometimes things just don’t work out the way you would like them to. The search for your answer is right there within you. But, when the same thing happens consistently, you don’t ask for help. You feel that if you did it would be a sign of weakness. If I have learned anything in my entire life, I have learned that asking for help brings about the solutions that you need to hear. They may not be what you want to hear, but you need to hear them anyway. You want to have a great year, but you go it alone and bam your right back to where you started. You can change that, but you fear that if you do others will take advantage. I have been their and done that. The greatest results I had ever gotten came from a mentor or from something that I was accountable for.

 

If you want to send out a great message and you want to be effective, by all means hire a life coach or a great friend that will support you and keep you accountable. You will find that your message with some help will shift toward what you want, faster and with greater impact, then going it alone.

 

Think happy and prosperous thoughts, visualize in every project, action or activity reaping the rewards from focused attention that produces the outcomes that you are looking for. Take charge of your own “happiness makeover” and that is my message!

New Year’s Resolutions – How to make them work

We are coming to a new year. Traditionally this is a time of family, friends and reflection on the year that has transpired. We assess what we have accomplished and what we want to accomplish over the next year for ourselves and or our families. We look at what we have and what we want to have in or out of our lives. It is a time to form a resolve to kick a habit, to change something about us or to achieve a milestone or benchmark for our betterment.

 Much consideration is given to a particular issue. Whether it is to lose weight or make more money, we mull over some idea of what we want to achieve. We set up a strategy and draft some sort of plan and decide this year we will go for it. Then after a few days, weeks or even a month we abandon the whole idea and go right back to where we were. This backsliding is not unusual, nor uncommon. We are resolved even excited to do something that will change our lives for the better, yet we fail, put it on the shelf and maybe next year we will have more strength to accomplish that goal.

One can not live in “Someday aisle.” When you have the potential to achieve anything you want in life and abandon that which you know is a great idea, you are treating yourself with disrespect. That disregard which you would never expect from anyone else, at least anyone close to you, will eat at you slowly over time. If not now, when are you going to do the things that you want to do? You need to get rid of those little monkeys in your head and get to the task at hand.    My experience has taught one thing, that if don’t want it bad enough, you will not make the move to get it. The question remains, “How intensely do you want to change this particular thing?” If your desire is not yours, you will fail. If your desire is based on “it’s a good idea” you will fail. If your desire is unrealistic you will fail. The only way that you will achieve the thing that you want to achieve is because of the outcome or the benefits that outweigh the act on not changing it at all. The idea of achieving or defeating some issue in your life is such that you will do anything to achieve it, now we have something to work with. That burning desire that just lights up everything inside you is what you need to have. An “almost” burning desire won’t do.    

The first step, to change is your desire to achieve that goal. Intelligently knowing what you want isn’t enough. You must become emotionally hooked on it as well. Your thoughts and feelings are what determine your actions. If you think about the outcome or benefit and your absent of any feeling for its achievement, you need to start to get excited about that achievement. You see it is the only thing that will start you on the path to success. Get excited!   

The next step is defining that goal. You need to define it in words that create the picture in your mind of what it is that you want. For instance, you want to lose weight, this is always a great example. Do you want to lose weight or do you want to see yourself in a more a fit body. So what is the goal here? The goal isn’t working out routinely, that is a task, not a goal. The goal is “I am a toned 150 pounds and my abs are so tight that you can bounce a coin off of them, I am strong, flexible and always energized, people look at me in amazement.” Now this statement is more powerful or thought provoking than just I want to weight so many pounds. Yuk! Then set a date for when this will be achieved.

This should be followed as to why you want to achieve this goal or conquer this issue. Define what your desire represents to you. How will it make you feel? It can not be just good! You must feel “POWERFUL” “IN CONTROL” “ELATED” “FIRED UP” so that the feelings can carry you through your challenges and there will be challenges make no mistake about that. Oh no, you are not going to get away from adversity. That is part and parcel of your preparation to start on this venture or journey.

What we are doing is adjusting your thoughts and feelings. As I had said in the above paragraphs, your thoughts and feelings will determine your actions. Now comes the hardest part, keep your goals in front of you and read them over and over again at least 2-3 times a day to remind you of where you are headed. You want to avoid pitfalls, so make sure before you “do” anything that you have impressed your goal and the reason why, first. People have a tendency to skip this step, don’t. If you do not impress your idea with the proper emotions first, you won’t act on it.

Once you start getting a hold on this, there will be times where you can also start doing it on a dime. So quickly that your body will immediately take action to achieve your objective or goal, it will take practice, but one step at a time. Again you can use this process on anything, just remember step one.

Setting up a support system is a great thing to do. If you want to become wealthy, don’t pay attention to those who are not wealthy. You want to study or hang around those who are wealthy, go to their seminars, read their books, get around winners. Here is the trap as well, if you want to lose weight and everyone around is overweight, don’t talk to them about your goal. They will say that they support you, but consciously or unconsciously they will start to bring you down. You want to lose weight, read body building magazines, read books about body building and there are great Ebooks on the subject from bodybuilders. Hire a personal trainer, heck hire a life coach. Whatever you do stay out of the “complaint and negative support groups.” They may have the same goals as you, but their negative input, such as “that doesn’t work or I tried this or that” will defeat you. They won’t inspire you they will crush your dreams with their drama in life. Read the inspiring stories, the motivational stuff that keeps the fires in you burning at a fever pitch. Forget the trash, don’t read it, don’t write about it, or allow any space in your mind for anything that will disempower you.

 You must remember that you are going to move forward, and your paradigm or habits are going to be pushing up against you, trying to re-establish the norm that you are trying to change. That original self image will only be defeated if you take control. That is why it is so important that you have a mentor, a best buddy or a life coach that will help you stay on track. Your mind and your body is going to go into protest mode, it doesn’t want to go away from the familiar. Keeping yourself on track and excited will get you to where you want to go.

Actions are the next and final step for you to take. Remember these are “tasks.” This is not the goal.  These tasks are the things that you choose to do to make progress to your goal. Take on step at a time and don’t try to become what you want in one fail swoop. No Hail Mary actions are necessary to make it. The only leap of faith you need to take is the belief that you are going to achieve your goal no matter what. If you want more wealth than make a wealth plan, more health, make a health plan, more confidence, make a more confidence plan. Then take action daily on the tasks that you need to follow in order to achieve what you want.

One other tip, now this is important, do what is most priority first. It’s that one thing that you truly want to achieve. Maybe you have 3-4 or more goals, don’t get scattered among all the goals. You want to spend your major time on that which you want the most. If your goal is better fitness and you also have wealth goals, which one weighs more for you? If you are in better shape, would it not affect you ability to gain more wealth? While you are executing one goal, you can of course start studying up on another.

Once you have achieved your major goal you will be even more motivated to achieve others. You build success one goal at a time. Then what will happen is that you will be able to handle more than one at a time without getting scattered all over the place.

Rehearse your goal daily, before you get up in the morning, read your goal card, think about how you want your day to turn out. This may be a little difficult at first, but if you do it daily it will start getting easier. Keep yourself excited and bring that excitement to each task. You will arrive at your goal and find that you can achieve anything that you want. Your thoughts, feelings and actions will form your attitude toward your goal, make it monumental!

Trends and the end of Retirement

There are many factors at this time that point to the fact that the idea of retirement will be coming to a close. One of the primary factors is mainly demographic in nature. Though the US still has replacement population above the current workforce, Europe and Japan are already seeing there replacement workforce dipping below those who would seek retirement in the next few years. This will put a strain on their productivity and lower demands for consumer spending that has not been seen for over 600 years.  

Eighty million baby boomers here in the US will be drawing down their pensions, retirement savings and passive investments over the next eight years, which will push the stock market into a longer term bearish trend. The US economy will be strained by this, Japan and European economies will take a severe beating.  What this means is that in order to offset most of the draw downs from retirement earnings and withdrawals on the social security system plus other governmental welfare supplemental transfers, they must raise the payment of full benefits of retirement to the age of 75.  

Over the next 2-5 years there will be a continued flattening of most major corporations. Though we have seen the corporate flow of downsizing and rightsizing; that is not by any means over. The technology explosion will be showing up with major advancements in information and communications. This will lesson the need for middle managers and redundant workers. There will be ample jobs for redundant workers, as they will be absorbed by new business start ups. Middle managers however will have to be retrained with specialized skills in order to keep pace with the technology boom that will be unleashed over the next 2 years. There will be a need for managers to develop people skills in working with employees under their charge. The benefits of using more complex customized programming such as SAP will outweigh the cost of doing so.  

The advancement of technology will be in the areas of computers, telecommunications, and the internet. Moore’s law will keep working in the advent of the advancement of computers that will most likely be 5 times more powerful than what we have in the commercial market today. Along with that robotics that will start to replace more of the manual industrial jobs.  

By 2025 most auto industries will be sent to the orient mainly China. The reason is with the projected demographics and its impact to the economy, the decline of average consumer spending, it would not be cost effective to build and sell automobiles here in the US, Europe or Japan.  Health industries will be getting more attention, for the aging population that will be working longer. Advancements in Gene therapies and stem cell research will also be giving these workers a better quality of life but at a price none the less. This will also boost positions in the health field inclusive of fitness, such as Personal Trainers and Aerobic Instructors.  

Specialists in any field at this time will then be the one’s to write their own ticket especially those involved in Computer Programming, Network Administration and Information Technologies. Most management activities will lean toward decision models and knowledge management systems. This will create major middle management unemployment, in an economy that will have over 10 million jobs available for the right people with specialized skills.  Most corporations will attempt to keep their best workers paying more and be willing to retrain them, than letting them go to retirement.   

By 2009 the peak spending of most baby boomers will occur and along with that robotics or artificial intelligence will start to pick up the pace in replacing the factory workers on their manual labor. There will be a great economic boom during 2009. The NASDAQ will see incredible growth from 2010 to 2015 and should hit 6500. For those in retirement or going into retirement they should be watchful for good investment in the technologies industry during this period.  

The population in developing countries will continue to grow. This will help balance on consumer spending during the decline of the peak consumption in the late 2015 to 2025 from most of the industrialized and wealthiest countries in the world. Most of the consumption will shift to the developing countries such as India, but Africa will still be in crisis.  Real wages per capita will continue to rise while profits will tend to decline. This marks the turn of lower wages for employees, to the expense of profits overall. Business will now be depending highly on their skilled labor, as replacement for retiring workers will be coming in through immigration from outside sources, which are more educated and experienced with new technologies.  

Some sampling reflects those who do plan to retire do not have any savings at this time. Most Social Security benefits will not supplement sufficiently to cover the rising cost of living during retirement over the next 15 to 20 years. Most Gen X’ers will not be able to compete against the more experienced and skilled baby boomers.  Baby boomers looking at retirement do have some options. They can liquidate their homes in favor of smaller homes or apartment living. Cut down on travel and other expenses. I don’t believe that after working 35 to 40 years that this option will be what one would want, but that is an option. Financial planning will also be helpful, yet with the retirement draw down by 2015 the returns may not be enough, and other supplemental actions will have to be taken in order to build a stable future income.   

Real estate in 2015 will also receive more declines being that there will be less of a demand. Health care such as retirement communities will see some increase but not as much because cost for this special retirement housing and care, will also rise. Less consumer spending will lesson demand and supplies will be handled on order to fill basis.  Technology will take up the slack on the fill to order, in that machines will be set up to manufacture other machines. Let us say you order a computer, when the order is taken then it is merely inputted into a machine which will build it on site and process to shipping.  

What this also means is that one will truly experience and enjoy the Golden Information Age. That rapid telecommunications, less manual labor, and more focused specialized areas will develop, giving everyone more of the good life, but it will come at the cost of your labor.  This pretty much changes everything. Should you want to still retire in your sixties, you will need to have a plan in place that will more than support you for at least another 20 years after retirement. This will most likely come as a shock to some but not to those who have looked forward into the future with realistic expectations.  

Cost of living may level a bit, but will continue to rise. So if you are living at a cost of 40K now expect to spend 60k when you retire to just keep up with your current lifestyle. There maybe arguments generated by “financial planners” but most of them are not seeing past today’s statistics.  Just remember, the draw down from retirement plans will affect your returns, over the next eight years. The way to figure what you need to retire is simple. Take your current income plus your expenses and add 20%. If you have a lifestyle of 40K per year and your living expenses are 15K add them together (40K+15K) should be about 55K then multiply that by 20% (55K*.20) 55K + 11K = 66K is what you need to continue your current lifestyle over the next 10 to 20 years.  

Life expectancy rate for men in the US is currently at 74.4 and for women in the US it is 79.8. (Measures from 2003) In either case the raise in retirement age is not for enjoyment of going into your golden years where you can do what you want. You will either be restricted in movement by economics or health. Health technologies will extend life expectancy over the next 5-10 years to as much as 15 more years on top of that. Which means that you most likely be broke before you expire.  Now is a good time to start looking at other sources of income that will more than supplement social security. Remember, that congress is also looking at cutting off your social security benefits if your pension or 401k yields more than 70K a year. Your retirement lifestyle is at risk.  

The good news is that the internet which has a global reach; will also experience a boom over the next few years, taking those who have already established businesses into a whole new vista of possibilities the likes which no one has seen before. This is the scope of the future, those off the information highway, will suffer due to their own ignorance, and not because this information is not available.  Should anyone doubt these trends, you can research them through many agencies, such as Labor Statistics, Censes Bureaus and recent breakthroughs in Stem Cell research.

Ten things I would advise Britney Spears to consider: There is a lot of advice, accusations and relentless criticism on how Britney is either bad or good, and even insane.  What is important is not what others think about Britney, it is what she thinks and feels about herself. It is clear that she has had poor advice, negative influences, and a multitude of challenges in her personal life not just in her career.  

If those who are throwing the mud on this lady, would experience what she is experiencing, it would be enough to drive anyone nuts. If it wasn’t for certain laws, you would find press people in her bathroom, if it wasn’t illegal. Britney is responsible for her actions, but she has not been trained on how to handle these intruders into her everyday routines.  

Though I respect Dr. Phil, his little episode of “interviewing the inner circle” those critics, and saying on national TV she should commit herself, I don’t feel is very helpful, in matter of fact it appears to be grandstanding. Yes, lets call in the experts and have them weigh in on “How Bad Britney is” how they will do a better job of “fixing” her.  

Britney, the influences around you are destroying you, and you have given permission for them to do so. Right now, those “weighing in” are like vultures just waiting for your last breath. Don’t let them take your power away. Stop doing what you are doing and think.  I recommend that you consider doing the following:  

1)  Go on a retreat – remove yourself from all these influences, for at least 3 months.  

2)  Comply with the court 100% without fail – send a letter of apology to the court, to your ex-husband, and to all that you may have injured over the past year.  No excuse, no blame, no stories. Take responsibility for your actions 

3) Take the time to evaluate and review all of the influences around you. Look at the relationships and determine what you have become due to these attachments. 

4) Get back to basics – Look at your health, wealth and level of happiness. You can not go back into the past, but you can determine what outcomes you want in these areas of your life.  

5) Establish a Philosophy by determining what values are most important to you. 

6) Journal – Get a journal and start to process where you are and what you really want your life to be. What actions you will take in the future, what your feelings are, where you want to go in your life. 

7) Establish concrete goals for every aspect of your life. Make them so big that it will take a miracle to achieve them.  

Re-Claim your power over your life – Make the decision to take the appropriate actions to reclaim the power over your life. 

9) Re-establish all of your valued relationships with family and friends and all those that have stuck by you over the years.  

10) Reinvent and resurrect your career – Time to start back up on the road to your life. Do the things that you love to do, that make you feel alive again.

New E book Out

Well I finally did it. I have completed my new E book. I have entitled it Secret Steps – A Guide for Planning the Life You Want To Live!

I have researched and use my own experience to get this guide together, it has been months of work and going through many compilations to get it done.

I feel that this will help a lot of people through different phases in their lives. The application are wide, yet help people to narrow down exactly what they want in life. This is quite a deal.

I know that I have gone through many different changes and have grabbed many different book, and ended up not knowing anymore than when I started. I wanted to resolve this issue and get things on the straight and narrow.

The feedback I have been getting is awesome. Anyway I am really happy to have gotten this work out. I throw in about $ 1500.00 worth of free goodies with it.

Now I am getting ready to start my next book. Can’t Wait!!

When there is love between a man and a woman

Love is that connection that keeps a couple together. It is the channel that excludes all and isolates the two. It is the identification of a state of being united in passion. The vibrations that probably calibrate higher than any frequency that one can measure. To be in love is to smile, it is to feel that passion, that well connected familiarity, that closeness, that bond which forever one would not break. The unconditional knowing of the other, the soul to soul, a world without words, for the proximity of being near, is reward enough. 

The power of connection, that attachment of unlimited bliss, that brings two people together, is at times indescribable. Yes, that first love, that first touch, that first feel of two together with no thought of the world, its challenges, its distractions, that comfort, that caress that binds. 

The image in one’s mind, the perfection even amiss the physical imperfections, that standing out from all else; like a baby who is looking to one for all its needs. This connection, that binds true lovers, it is that “great to see you and great to be with you,” recognition of being present.  Love is joy without conditions it is cooperative in task with disregard for any shortcomings. It is sharing the life in life, bearing the fruit of appearance and not of material things. Memories of love always are in the forefront of my mind. Is it in yours? That longing, that desire to be near that one who has brought blessings of joy in your life. It is the “wow.” 

How can life not be perfect, love is all around and whether you have that certain someone or not, be that love and it will show up for you.  Think of the love you have that says “Hello You,” I want you in my life forever more. You are burned into my very soul and being. I will never forget you, I will never abandon you, I will be here to hold you, through the storms, through the turbulence, through all that may pass, and I will be here forever for you.  

How can one think such thoughts and have any other feelings but that of elation? I wonder in amazement about this thing called love. To mend love is only done by adding more love to the mix, time comes and time goes, but that love is forever ingrained into my spirit.  I see them all in my mind, those women I loved, women who despite my faults accepted me for whom I am. We sometimes long for that lost love, but we have the greatest gift and blessing in that we can create a new one by just being open to love itself.  

How my thoughts arrived at this, I really don’t know. I do know that love I always long for, that being in someone’s arms that embraces you with not agenda, is there to just be. No thoughts or other avenues of thoughts.  That moment in time, that vortex that weaves that love between the two spirits as a cyclonic funnel of light that surrounds, those intended to generate the force that binds them both. 

You see it in their eyes and in their very being. It is present in the feeling and emotion of their presence. The passion not lust but deep desire to please each other in communion without movement, bias and conditions.  If the world needs anything it needs a love injection. A world vibrating with this energy could never harm, never destroy anyone, and will seek only to help and serve.  

Love Rules!!!
