How Can Affirmations Transform Your Life?

2010-06-08T17:07:00.000-07:00

From the blog of John Assaraf:

Affirmations are so simple and yet so effective. An affirmation is a statement, often repeated in our heads—that’s it. There isn’t much concentration or focus required. The affirmation’s power, however, lies in its ability to re-shape our thinking and perspective drastically and quickly. Here are 4 ways affirmations can help you.

1. Affirmations quiet our ego’s mental chatter

One of the biggest stumbling blocks to many of the difficulties and complexities we face is mental chatter. It is this constant stream of thinking and ideas that distracts us from being able to focus on what we want—be that stillness and serenity or a specific goal. Mental chatter is the voice in the head that screams, “I can’t do it! I can’t do it!” or “I’m ugly. I’m fat.” Affirmations soothe this wailing like a pacifier to a baby. In moments of fear, panic, or anxiety, repeating to yourself, “I can do this! I can do this!” or “I am beautiful. I am attractive,” is incredibly powerful at helping you do an emotional 180.

2. Affirmations can begin to transform our thinking instantaneously

When we are focusing on “I can do this,” instead of nerves and jitters, we have immediately taken control of ourselves. When we are in control, we immediately feel at ease. Sigh! When we feel powerless is when our fears and worries tend to spiral out of control. Instead of focusing on the fear, saying affirmations gives us a new focus. It is the same concept as women doing deep breathing when they are giving birth—it gives them something else to focus on than the pain they are feeling. A slight change in focus can and does make a world of difference. This tiny little mental trick is a powerful one.

3. Affirmations put us in the driver’s seat

Affirmations can transform our lives by giving us a sense of power and control. Often it doesn’t take much to remind us of how powerful we are. Simply saying, “I am calm. I am cool. I am collected,” before a job interview can take us from nervous to confident in no time.

4. Affirmations can be effective when change is most difficult

True change comes in this manner: first our thoughts, then our words, then our deeds. First we get an idea like, “I’m tired of being overweight.” This gains momentum and turns into saying things like, “I am going to go to the gym 3 times this week.” What follows? Three trips to the gym. The problem arises when our thoughts still want to be couch potatoes. Stating affirmations like, “I go regularly to the gym. I exercise. I workout,” can shape our reluctant thinking. When change seems hardest, that is a sign that one needs to be using affirmations constantly to help change their lagging thinking. As you know, if you hear something often enough, you will start to believe it.

Do Appearances Matter?

2010-06-07T18:50:00.000-07:00

So really, does it matter if you’re wearing tattered jeans or a designer business suit? My observations today led me to believe that appearances, the covers we choose to display, DO matter!

I was in a courtroom today, as I was required to participate in a jury selection. And although I was not chosen, I had some time while going through the motions to observe and reflect. I first off have to say that even just GOING to this jury selection was difficult for me, as I did NOT want to be there, but I made the choice to enjoy my day, whatever the outcome. I’m so glad I made that choice, as it allowed me the freedom to learn a valuable lesson!

These are my observations … first, there were the faces. It was VERY obvious that most everyone felt the same way I did, and that they did NOT want to be there. There were faces of displeasure, disgust, disdain and just down-right grumpiness. There were some faces of anticipation, a little confusion … and I think I saw ONE woman smiling!

These faces that we put on are our cover, our front if you will! THIS IS THE FIRST THING PEOPLE SEE, they leave our first, and important, impression! Although I am generally a very happy person, and have a positive outlook on most everything, I was reminded today that a smile is the first step in a fulfilled and rewarding life … NO MATTER what, who or where you are!!

Second, there’s the uniform. Some say “oooh, I love a man in uniform”, or, others hold more of an mind-set of dislike and distrust in authority figures who need to wear uniforms for what they represent; rules, being told what to do, etc. Uniforms instill, for some, fear, respect and even awe. As I realized today, it too is just a cover. Who that person really is, and is meant to be, is underneath that uniform.

My third observation came in the form of costumes. These too are fronts, or covers, we wear. In Canada, lawyers in our Provincial courts are required to wear special outfits. I suppose it is a way of identifying them, or perhaps something passed down from the Queen, I honestly don’t know why we do that here. But, my observation of the other jurors watching these lawyers walk through the hallways and court rooms was very interesting. Although the lawyer is the one who can help you obtain your freedom (if you are the accused of course), we snicker, point and outright feel sorry for this person of power and prestige based on their appearance. Why is that? Is it because of his costume? My observation today was an overwhelming YES! Simply because of the cover he was required to wear, people had less respect for him than they did the police officer standing right next to him.

So, my conclusion in all of this was that yes, our appearance is extremely important. Should we be judged on our appearance? Definitely not, but it happens all the same. What is underneath the cover is what really matters, but, if you want people to get to know the real you, you must appear to be someone they want to get to know! A smile, where it all starts, really goes a LONG way to that end! A clean t-shirt helps too!

Therefore, to put this into a business perspective, one must smile and present yourself in the best appearance possible in order to attract and sustain customers and clients!

Please remember that these are just my observations of today, and in no way have any bearing on anything … I’m just blogging here people!

Foursquare, The Next Social Up-And-Comer

2010-05-25T11:09:00.000-07:00

It’s funny how early adoption works and how you start to see recurring patterns. When I started using Twitter there were numerous people who questioned what it was, why it was useful, and mocked it. A couple of years later, Twitter is still on a tear.

I’m seeing the same thing with Foursquare today. Early adopters are using it, it’s starting to spread, and once again people I know are confused by it, think it’s useless, and that it has no real business.

However, in some ways it may even have a brighter future than Twitter based on creating the location to local business connection. They’ve started to roll out some very interesting partnerships which I assume have revenue implications. If they don’t now, they will in the future as Foursquare’s user base takes off.

Check out this quote for example:

“Being able to drive foot traffic into our restaurant partners and our retail partners is a huge opportunity, because that’s where our product is sold,” said B. Bonin Bough, director of social and emerging media for PepsiCo.
There are going to be some very interesting things that can be done with this, and it’s going to drive Yelp, Facebook, Yahoo!, Google, and others after checking in and driving local traffic to businesses.

I had my first real example of this when I checked into my hotel for Ad Tech San Francisco, and Foursquare alerted me that I could get half off appetizers in the hotel bar. I had already settled in my room, but it made me think about actually taking advantage of the deal which would have driven more revenue to the hotel. That is worth something to the hotel, something worth paying Foursquare to drive to them. Foursquare also doesn’t appear to be waiting until they’re huge to make this happen, which seems like a wise move to get established as the early player working with businesses.

"The Optimism Option"

2010-05-12T10:31:00.000-07:00

An article I wanted to share with you ... enjoy!

If you’re happy and you know it, you just might live longer.

By Dr. Gregg Jacobs

Despite the stress-inducing intrusions of the modern world, some people cope far better with stress than others, and as a result, stay far healthier. That’s because these individuals have managed to maintain an instinctive connection to optimism. Optimism is more akin to a feeling, not a thought, which motivates us toward thoughts and behaviors that improve our well-being.

Take a moment to consider the following questions:

1. When you think about the past, do you recall successes more easily than failures?
2. Do you usually attribute positive outcomes to yourself or to luck?
3. When you think about the future, do you expect the best?
4. Do you believe that something positive can be found in most negative situations?
5. Do you feel that things usually don't work out for the best for you?
6. Do you find it hard to count on good things to happen to you?

If you answered yes to the first four questions and no to the last two, you are likely an optimist. If you said no to the first four questions and yes to the last two, you are likely a pessimist. Being either an optimist or a pessimist can have a significant effect on your mental and physical health.

Optimism is the feeling that, despite frustrations and setbacks, things will turn out okay. Optimists, by nature, feel secure about themselves, the world and the future. They focus on and expect positive experiences, are more likely to attribute positive outcomes to themselves and believe they can influence events through their actions. Optimists also expect the best when faced with uncertainty, view setbacks as temporary, count on good things to happen and remember successes better than failures.

Happy and Healthy
While optimists certainly experience the full range of thoughts and emotions, their positive attitudes and beliefs create a mental filter that lets in primarily positive thoughts while blocking negative ones. Optimists do not experience as many negative thoughts and they can change from negative to positive thinking more easily. They also experience more positive mood and greater feelings of self-esteem and well-being than pessimists.

In contrast, pessimists hold persistent negative beliefs about themselves, events and the future and are more likely to see negative events in the worst possible light. They interpret negative events:

personally (they blame themselves for the events);
permanently (they see bad events as never-ending and think in terms of "always" and “never"); and
pervasively (they believe negative events will undermine everything).

Pessimists experience more illness because negative beliefs induce stress, which impairs health. Pessimists also have weaker social support systems, which is a further risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality. Pessimists may encounter more slips, fender benders and household mishaps because the bad moods that characterize pessimism may distract them or lead to more risky behaviors. This is a double whammy, because such negative events can then trigger even more unhealthy stress reactions.

Optimism is linked to happiness and achievement, and may actually increase life expectancy. It improves health and health behaviors, reduces susceptibility to disease and enhances recovery from disease. One study found that a pessimistic personality style predicted which college students would report more sick days and visits to a physician. Another study found that, of men who suffered their first heart attack, optimists were significantly more likely to be alive almost ten years later than pessimists. And in a major study involving members of the Harvard University classes of 1939 through 1944, men were rated on levels of optimism and pessimism at age 25, then tracked for 30 years. Overall, the men who were pessimistic at age 25 were less healthy and had more chronic illness later in life than the men who were optimistic. Other studies show that optimistic people recover faster from surgery, have fewer medical complications during and after surgery and exhibit stronger measures of immune functioning than pessimists.

Turn that Frown Upside Down
The good news is that you can learn to become more optimistic. One technique for promoting optimistic thinking is the use of a mental checklist involving the Three Ps when you encounter adversity or negative situations: Personal, Permanent, Pervasive.

Personal means to avoid blaming yourself for negative events, particularly those that are beyond your control. Accepting personal responsibility for something is logical only when you’re dealing with something that you can truly influence; things like the actions of others are not realistically under our control. Permanent means to avoid seeing negative events as never-ending. If you receive a poor grade on an exam, don't believe that you will perform poorly on subsequent exams. Similarly, a job interview that doesn't lead to an offer should not create the belief that you will never land a job. See the future in terms of what you can do instead of what you can't do. Pervasive means to avoid generalizing a problem to your whole life. If a relationship doesn't work out, don't tell yourself that your relationships always turn sour. If you throw a party that flops, don't tell yourself, "I can’t do anything right."

You can also turn the Three Ps around to think about positive events in optimistic ways. For example, when you encounter positive events, do view them as permanent ("things tend to go well for me most of the time"), pervasive ("lots of things in my life are going well") and personal ("this happened because of my abilities"). See the Truestar Twelve Daily Success Habits for more ways to enhance a positive attitude.

Another technique for strengthening optimistic thinking is optimistic affirmations—positive beliefs that you repeat to yourself regularly: "I expect the best when faced with uncertainty." "For every obstacle, there is a solution." "I can handle this." Repeat optimistic affirmations to yourself when encountering adversity, thinking about the future, or before going to sleep. Over time, these affirmations will become more automatic and unconscious than the pessimistic beliefs you’ve become accustomed to.

Here are three more ideas for strengthening optimistic thinking. Monitor your progress toward optimism with the Truestar Daily Life Improvement Checklist:

Practice an "attitude of gratitude." Optimists amplify positive thinking through appreciation. If you focus on what you have and on positive events in daily life, the negatives in life don't loom so large. Instead of thinking about what you lack and your shortcomings and difficulties, consider those things that you appreciate: good health, family, friends, work, something you look forward to, or something as simple as what someone did for you today. We can all find many positives in the course of the day if we look for them.

Limit your exposure to the media. The media saturates our minds with pessimistic stories about the dangers that lurk around every corner.

Avoid pessimists and seek out optimists. Optimism and pessimism are contagious. The next time you’re thinking negatively, spend time with a young child. Children's boundless optimism is inspiring and infectious; their excitement fuel for positive thinking. Just the laughter of a child can make the most pessimistic person smile.

Optimism is not only about healthier thinking; it is about the power to choose one's attitudes. Things turn out the best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out. You can choose to be an optimist, and with enough determination, you can make that choice a reality. Explore the Truestar Attitude section for more information on cultivating positivity.

The Hawk and the Crow

2010-05-10T19:47:00.000-07:00

I encountered something that I thought was quite remarkable on a drive the other day, and just had to share! As usual, I try and reflect on what I see, and somehow make it relevant to my life, and this was very relevant for me, so I hope it will be for you as well!

Driving along the freeway I saw a bird frantically dive-bombing towards something on the ground. It looked very comical at first, fluttering and flapping around in the air. As I got closer, I realized the object of this crow's, the one doing the flapping, anger or frustration was a rather large hawk. This hawk was NOT about to move or be bullied anywhere! She was calmly and firmly planted on the ground, hovering over what I can only imagine was its prey! Clearly, the prey was the object of the crow's desire as well, but that dang hawk ... like an iron clad gate!

This got me to thinking about my life ... am I the crow frantically flapping and dive-bombing my way through life trying to grasp at, and maybe even steal, what I need and want, only to end up with blades of grass (aka nothing) as my reward?

Or am I the strong and noble hawk, proud and firm in her beliefs and the knowledge of what she needs, and going after it with charisma, ability and grace?

I believe that I AM that hawk! Not the mean cranky kind, but the kind and generous kind ... I am a Lorri hawk!

As usual, I've put some humour into my story, because that's just what I do ... I love to laugh!

The end result though, is that I AM that proud strong and noble hawk! Although that particular bird did not want to share in the treasure she had found, this is where I differ. I am here to HELP and SHARE the treasures I have found!

Allow me to help you stop dive-bombing at the random opportunities of social marketing, and focus on the JUICY, fulfilling prey ... the ones that help the most people, including yourself! Stop being that flighty crow and learn to soar!

What Is This REALLY About?

2010-05-05T22:09:00.000-07:00

Referral Marketing, also known as Network Marketing, requires individuals that are open to growth, development, and changing their present state of mind to allow success to become part of them. We are individuals that want to change our own life, and in that process help others enrich theirs.

This is not a competition; we don’t succeed when others fail, that’s a win/lose mentality! With a win/win mentality we succeed when we understand that abundance is ours, it’s waiting for us to claim it, but so many of us keep looking outside of ourselves for the answers. We develop relationships, teach others, we understand that we all have different goals and dreams and they are all different; there is plenty for all.

So what’s in Network Marketing for you? The opportunity to claim your “Why” in life, this industry is just a means to an end. It’s allowing you to take your place in life and be the person that loves, cares, shares and understands that we all have what we want and need in life. The problem is so few of us know how to claim it!

If you get what I am saying in this message ... Cogratulations! ... you are on the path; you see the big picture. Keep growing and developing your Gratitude, Faith, Belief and be open to Receive. Your “Why” is moving in your direction.

My “Why” is about giving back. So many have helped me, lead me, directed me, to the place I'm at today. Please join me in helping to make a difference.

If you’re serious about changing your life and learning how this process takes place, your future may be just around the corner!

The Story of the Very Sad Broccoli (He Is Not the Broccoli He Once Was)

2010-04-28T20:40:00.000-07:00

It is little known in this country what a serious problem nutrient depletion in our soil has become. With the use of heavy fertilizers, farmers are able to produce what appear to be healthy, nutritious crops. The problem is that the plants are highly deficient in key nutrients. After years of over farming and heavy fertilizer use, the soil loses all of its good, wholesome virtues. Vitally important soil microbes that break down minerals into a form useable by the body are lost. Vitamin and mineral levels are drastically reduced, and the soil is basically burned out.

Unfortunately, even when the soil is burnt out, farmers can still grow good looking fruits and vegetables by using high doses of fertilizer. The fruit and vegetables will have good caloric content but very little in the form of real nutrition. Most produce sold now falls under this category. We think, as we are purchasing a head of broccoli or a bag of apples that we are doing our bodies a big, nutritious favor. In reality we are receiving half the nutrition we think, if not empty calories.

The Earth Summit Statistics meeting in 1992 revealed that farmland in the U.S. is over 85% micronutrient depleted. Many people think that buying organic vegetables will remedy this problem. Unfortunately, this is usually not the case. Just because a product says organic does not mean it was grown in nutrient rich soil. It simply means that many of the harsh chemical fertilizers were not employed. Of course, this is a step in the right direction, but it still doesn't answer the problem of nutrient deficiency.

Short of growing your own vegetables in soil you know is rich in nutrients, there is little you can do about this problem. Thankfully, your body can still receive all necessary nutrients by taking high quality nutritional supplements. The Foundation of Life, from the Beyond™ Wellness Line is your answer to the problem of nutrient depletion. With its unique combination of 72 trace elements and 20% fulvic acid (to remove heavy metals) from a rare prehistoric plant source; they work together as a collective whole. Daily use of this amazing natural product is important because if there is a shortage in your system of just one element, the balance of the entire body is thrown off, rendering other nutrients inefficient.

Is your Acai Berry juice not as Effective as it once was? Has it lost its Magic?

2010-04-24T15:45:00.000-07:00

Have you ever actually thought about the whole process? I mean; juices, supplements, vitamins, all those things are useful, yet, what is the REAL foundation? What does our body TRULY need? Where does it all START?

I am here to tell you that the key is HYDRATION! The benefits of being properly and PERFECTLY hydrated are multiple, yet so often forgotten because most usually think … well, it’s just water! I am here to help clarify this!!

Did you know that your body is approximately 72% water? And when not properly hydrated, MAJOR negative side effects can happen to the most important parts of you! For example:

• A 1% drop in body fluid means a 10% loss in energy!
• Even mild dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 3%
• A mere 2% drop in body water is capable of triggering fuzzy short-term memory trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page
• In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for HUNGER

Drinking the RIGHT water REGULARLY has many HEALTH benefits:

• Increased metabolism
• Flushing unwanted toxins out of your body
• Helping the body ABSORB NUTRIENTS
• Regulating body temperature
• Protecting and cushioning vital organs and joints
• Carrying nutrients and oxygen to the cells
• Boosting energy levels

Now, here is a question for you – IS ALL WATER CREATED EQUAL? Just because it is clear, does it mean it is pure, refreshing and most importantly, HYDRATING?

The answer is a resounding NO! Have you wondered why every water source tastes different? Can it be that there is “stuff” inside the water you are drinking?

Here, the answer is sadly … YES! TDS or Totally Dissolved Solids are a MAJOR factor in most bottled waters today! And unfortunately, tap water is no better. Chlorine, trace pharmaceuticals, lead and asbestos are just the “tip of the iceberg” with tap water.

So, here is the BOOST, and solution, I have for you! It is really so simple, DRINK THE RIGHT WATER! I have been, and many of my friends, and we are ALL benefitting from it!

What IS the right water? Clearly … beautifully … perfectly … Beyond H20!

The proof is in the pudding … or in this case, the bottle! Beyond H20 is the only water that can CLAIM aiding towards weight loss, having healthier skin and hair, faster recovery from physical activity, improved physical and mental performance, and supporting the immune system!

Beyond H20 has helped improve the lives of many, and imagine, has barely been heard of by anyone yet! Find out more for yourself here … and don’t wait another day to try what could be a REAL SOLUTION!

Will you do what is Convenient, or do you Have What It Takes?

2010-04-22T14:34:00.000-07:00

From the desk of John Assaraf:

I think I have been asked at least 5,000 times what it really takes to be successful in business or your career, so I jotted down 10 questions you can use to gauge whether you already have what it takes, or if you need to do a little “work” to get there.

Many years ago I heard Jim Rohn say that you either pay the price of discipline or the price of regret. Discipline weighs ounces…regret weighs tons!

With that said, here are 10 questions to ask yourself:

1. Are you disciplined?
2. Do you take rejection personally? What about criticism?
3. Do you bounce back quickly from making errors or failing over and over again?
4. Are you a planner or do you do things by the seat of your pants?
5. Are you prepared to take risks? Moderate or Big?
6. Do you stay focused on one thing and one thing only until the result you want is achieved?
7. Do you have the stamina to keep going long after everyone else is tired?
8. Can you delegate well, or are you the only one who can do things right?
9. Do you wait for things to happen or do you aggressively go after what you want?
10. Do you do whatever it takes to achieve your goals or just what’s convenient?

These questions are critical for you to ask yourself in order to get a true picture of your nature and behavior. What I have found is that successful people are aware of the consequences of not being efficient in these areas, and find other ways, resources or people to manage for them. Good Luck!

I personally follow these guidelines almost daily! I am inspired to help, and lead others to find success, even if just in small daily victories.

I plan to DO WHAT IT TAKES! What about You?

ONE Hour A Day

2010-04-16T19:23:00.000-07:00

Research has indicated that most people lose focus a total of 7 to 10 times a MINUTE! Just a minute … what? That’s crazy! I don’t believe … wait, look at THIS email, hmmmm it leads me to another web site! Cool!! ....

Sound familiar! It sure does to me. I’m the first to admit I lack consistent focus, mostly because we are SO bombarded with new information constantly! Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not against new information, but sometimes you have to pace yourself!

This is from John Assaraf’s blog (http://www.johnassaraf.com) “Imagine for a minute, how good you can become at anything that you did one hour a day for the next year. How fit could you get? How much more in love would you get and give? How much more money could you earn?

Let me suggest that one hour is a small price to pay in comparison to the payoff. Just one hour a day may be the razor’s edge you need to really get the results you want in your life.”

So, that’s it! I’m in! I am challenging MYSELF … and YOU … to one hour a day! Be it meditation, reading, exercise, baking with your kids, doing the laundry … or maybe even resting your eyes from the computer (heaven forbid!!! ) … ONE HOUR A DAY! I’ve done challenges before, and trust me; they are not always as easy as they appear!

This can do nothing but improve us, enlighten us, empower us … make us better people! I want to be a better person, a better mom, a better friend, a better sister, a better helper!

If you need accountability in this challenge, I am here for you! Simply contact me, and I will help you through this! We will help each other through!

Are You Rising Above … and Reaching Beyond? I FOUND Where Beyond Lives!

2010-04-10T18:07:00.000-07:00

Are you reaching your Maximum potential in life? Perhaps you are, perhaps you’re not. I thought I was, before I found Beyond, or shall I say, Beyond found ME!

You know how you don’t know what you don’t know? Well, I didn’t know anything about water, until Beyond educated me! I didn’t know that there was something OTHER than a regular 9 to 5 job for me, until Beyond found me! Well, that’s not completely true … I had heard of people making lots of money with side home based businesses, but didn’t think I could ever become one of them … UNTIL NOW!

The First way Beyond has Maximized my life is in the area of my Health! I am now drinking THE BEST WATER … PERIOD. Beyond is manufactured for ultimate hydration, with the exact amount of the four trace minerals our bodies need, with always perfect pH levels. No questions, we can prove that Beyond is simply the best water. Did you know that you can survive Weeks without food, but only DAYS without WATER? For Maximum Health, you need to drink the BEST water!

The Second way Beyond has Maximized my life is in the area of my Nutrition. Here’s something you may not know, but there is this little miracle called Fulvic Acid. Fulvic Acid has been deemed as the best kept secret in the area of Holistic Health and Wellness. Fulvic Acid as THE BEST antioxidant available. You know about antioxidants, right? That is the stuff that keeps you Energized and Healthy? Now, I’m not very scientific or anything, all I know is what I have experienced! Taking the Foundation of Life Nutritional Supplement has Maximized my life Beyond what I could have expected, with increased energy being the primary benefit!

The third, and VERY important, way Beyond has Maximized my life has been in the matter of my J-O-B!! Beyond has allowed me to work from home, choose my own hours, meet the most Amazing People and earn a residual income, doing what I LOVE to do (still getting Healthier every day while doing this too)! If you’re going to be successful, you have to love what you are doing – there is really no way around that!

Okay, okay ... I'm craving something sweet and unhealthy, but that's only because I'm trying to make myself better with a week long detox diet and cleanse. I've tried this before, and it's worked, sort of. This time will be different though, I can already tell! That is because of Beyond H20! I'm combining my detox diet efforts with the most hydrating water available! Beyond H20 is not like any other water you have ever had before ... we have clinical studies proving it ... MOST HYDRATING, period!

Your body can't function properly, no matter what you do, or don't, put into it, unless it is properly hydrated.

Also, Beyond H20 is the cleanest, purest water available. It is that way, well, because we MAKE it that way. Check this out ...

(this video does not belong to me, but to a fellow Beyonder of mine, but it is so powerful!)

So, there you have it ... I'm drinking, drinking, drinking (no, not THAT kind of drinking) and cleansing myself and going to feel fabulous after a week! After that, no promises, but I'll definitely try and keep it within the standard food groups! Sadly, that does not include chocolate and chips!

Can you make him drink?

The other day, while taking a rare TV break, I heard what I thought was one of the funniest commercials I’ve seen in a long time! It made ME want to go out and buy Old Spice … even though there are no MEN living in my home!

The tag that got me was, Fresh, Fresher, Freshest and Fresherest … I laughed out loud because I thought that was so clever!

Some big wig marketing person put that together for The Old Spice Company, and will likely given them plenty in sales just because of that one ad!

I don’t know about you, but I don’t hire people to put together “ads” for me … I do it myself! I may not be Old Spice, but I think I’m pretty darn unique! Maybe even special!

That being said, is it enough? Well, heck ya! We are ALL unique and special! We have ALL been made in the likeness of the Creator, and what we have to offer is wonderfully unique from anybody else on this planet!! Think about that for a second … NOBODY on this planet can do WHAT you do, exactly the WAY that you do it!

So, do you have some amazing product you want to sell? Then use it … believe in it! People will be attracted to you and the difference in you because of that product just because … of YOU!! What about a service that you offer? Same idea! Use it and believe in it … you won’t have to preach it from the mountain tops, people will seek YOU out because of the better person you will become by using it!

So, not only will you find those horses, but before long they will start corralling all around you!

Keep going … don’t give up (as Winston Churchill once said … “never, never, NEVER give up”) … BELIEVE in yourself … because I believe in YOU! I know you can do this, because I did, and if I can, YOU can!!

Who, or What, is Your Inspiration

2010-03-19T20:01:00.001-07:00

Why do you do what you are doing? Do you LIKE what you are doing? Who told you, you had to do what you are doing? Are you inspired to do what you are doing? Do you aspire to teach others to do what you are doing?

All related questions, yet somehow different. I've been bombarded this week with quotes and stories of people who are so tenacious and strong-willed ... they had, or have, a "never quit" attitidude! I personally ... LOVE it!!

That is me ... I will never quit what I'm doing because, well, I love it! I get to communicate with people from literally all over the world, every day! I get to share my story, my personality, and my company, with thousands of people daily! That gives me true satisfaction and peace! There is no better way to describe it other than just a peace of the heart!

Does what you are doing give you that kind of feeling? Does it make you want to get up every morning and think, YAY, I get to do this again!? If not, you may want, or need, a change! Have you ever thought about a change of career ... a change of pace? I am a real people person, so I love being an online referral marketer! I can't say it enough, it brings me complete satisfaction!!

So, I guess the purpose of the title of this blog is ... maybe I could be your inspiration?

Maybe you want to think about it! If you do, well hey, you've come to the right place!

Let's chat soon! Till then, keep a smile on and remember ~ every moment is a new beginning ... it's never too late!!

Residual (Passive) Income

2010-03-11T19:56:00.000-08:00

The definition of Residual Income, according to Wikipedia:

an income received on a regular basis, with little effort required to maintain it

I don't know about you, but I'd rather work smarter than harder for my money!

I've spent years working hard, just to make ends meet! Does this sound familiar ... too much month at the end of your money!? It did for me, for too many years than I care to remember, or even admit to. This all changed when I learned about residual income, and what it really means!

There is a quote that goes something like:

"I'd rather earn 1% of 100 people's efforts than 100% of 1 persons efforts"

Does that make sense to you? It sure does to me!

That is the beauty of referral marketing and residual income opportunities! You tell someone about your product or service ... which you really believe in of course ... they like it, and tell someone else! What could be easier?

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in learning more about, please don't hesitate to contact me! I'm here to lead, instruct and inspire!

The Winning Lottery Ticket by John Assaraf

2010-03-10T14:20:00.000-08:00

In A recent lottery, a West Virginia man won $317 million in the Powerball lottery. The odds of winning this lottery are just over 120 million to 1.

Those are pretty steep odds. However, winning the lottery is a piece of cake in comparison to the odds of you being born in the first place. You are the product of 23 chromosomes from your mother and 23 chromosomes from your father.

Geneticists have determined that the odds of your parents having another child just like you are 10 to the 2 billionth power to 1. It would take you 75 years working day and night just to write out this number by hand.

The bottom line is that there will never be another you. You are one-of-a-kind.
Act like yourself. Be yourself and live the life only you were meant to live.

Jim Rohn's ANT PHILOSOPHY

2010-03-08T14:15:00.000-08:00

"Over the years I've been teaching children about a simple but powerful concept - the ant philosophy. I think everybody should study ants.

They have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part: ants never quit. That's a good philosophy. If they're headed somewhere and you try to stop them; they'll look for another way.

They'll climb over, they'll climb under, and they'll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy, to never quit looking for a way to get where you're supposed to go.

Second, ants think winter all summer. That's an important perspective. You can't be so naive as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer.

An ancient story says, "Don't build your house on the sand in the summer." Why do we need that advice? Because it is important to be realistic. In the summer, you've got to think storm. You've got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead.

The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter. That is so important. During the winter, ants remind themselves, "This won't last long; we'll soon be out of here." And the first warm day, the ants are out. If it turns cold again, they'll dive back down, but then they come out the first warm day. They can't wait to get out.

And here's the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All he possibly can. What an incredible philosophy, the "all-you-possibly-can" philosophy.

Wow, what a great seminar to attend - the ant seminar. Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn"

Do you drink water?

2010-03-03T19:45:00.000-08:00

We all drink water ... well, we're supposed to drink water. Eight glasses a day they say. If you're anything like me, that's hard! There's no time! I'm busy all day running around, doing errands, working, driving, doing this and that! I don't stop to think to drink water! It just hasn't been a priority ... until now!

Here is an interesting fact I have learned, since being introduced to Beyond H20. For a large number of people (37% of Americans) the thirst mechanism is so WEAK from being deprived of proper hydration that it is often mistaken as HUNGER! This means that the mid-day snack of sweets that we crave so strongly is really your body screaming out to be hydrated!

I found this to be very interesting as I am one who would grab that mid-afternoon donut or cookie! Shame on me! So now, more often than not, I grab a bottle of clear, pure, refreshing ... and most importantly ... HYDRATING Beyond H20!

Mindset of Success

2010-02-20T00:54:00.001-08:00

Here is a new blog I found, and quite like! I thought I would share this with you!

From http://www.neuralreconditioning.com/

If you have a belief that being wealthy means you have to be greedy, unscrupulous, selfish or just lucky and if your mindset dictates that the only way to have such an amazing partner by your side is to have the wealth first then you are going to have great difficulty in achieving any of those things, if those things are what you want.

If you have any destructive, envious thoughts the next time you see such a person, just tell yourself that you are being shown an example of what you can be, do and have if that is actually what you want. If what that guy has is not what you really want then there is no reason to judge him. Well in actual fact there is no reason to judge anyway.

Judging somebody based on what they have or appear to have is nothing more or less than a statement of what you don’t have and if that is something you want to have then you are in actual fact stating that you don’t want it, so you will never notice any opportunity that comes your way to have it.

I was always raised to believe "the grass is always greener", but I have learned this couldn't be further from the truth. We must not want what others have as there is plenty for all, as a dear friend reminded me just this week! xoxo

I am dedicated to the pursuit of excellence and abundance, that I might help and aid others with the prosperity that has been given me!

To OUR future and OUR success!

Hydration and Healing

2010-02-16T15:55:00.000-08:00

Dear friends ... hi! I am happy to be here with you!

Last week I was involved in a car crash that sadly totalled my car; a car I have driven for 8 years! Now, some of you may say "time for a new one anyway Lorri", and mostly, I agree with you! However, this was more difficult as this car was given to me by my mother just prior to her death. Needless to say, there is great emotional value attached to that vehicle! I thanked "Ruthie" every day for getting me from A to B! She was a good little car and I will miss her.

On to the main purpose of this post. Healing and hydration. If you don't already know, hydration is a key element to us just being alive!

HYDRATION * regulates body temperature * increases motabolism * carries nutrients and oxygen to cells * protects and cushions vital organs and joints * helps to convert food into energy * helps body absorb nutrients * reduces water retention * flushes unwanted toxins out of your body

Did you know that 75 to 90 percent of the population is chronically dehydrated? This leads to adverse health conditions! I don't want any more adverse health conditions than I already have so I am dedicated to drinking the right amount of water so that I am properly hydrated, to enable me to heal properly and hopefully quickly. And I am not just drinking any water, but the right water! Did you know that most tap and well water in the United States is NOT safe for drinking due to heavy industrial and environmental polution? Water is not clean, pure and refreshing just because it looks clear. There is a lot more to it. The water I drink goes through a 12 step purification process to remove all impurities after which it is remineralized with the exact right amount of organic trace minerals and electrylytes that our bodies need.

If you want to drink what I drink, then you need to check out Beyond!

To your health and healing!!

Valentine's Day

2010-02-14T09:49:00.000-08:00

Saint Valentine's Day (commonly shortened to Valentine's Day)is an annual holiday held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions. The holiday is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine and was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). The holiday first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

May you have someone to love and adore you this day! Heck ... EVERY day!

Value vs. Worth

2010-02-13T17:57:00.000-08:00

An idea hit me very strongly today, and I wanted to share it with each of you personally!! (or as personally as the internet will allow)

I hope you find value in this!

Something I find value in ...

Living and Learning

2010-02-11T19:36:00.001-08:00

There are many seasons to life ... they all have value.

The season I am enjoying right now is one of experiencing success in life, and wanting to share that and help others ... YOU ... achieve that as well! Keep in mind, success comes in many different forms, and I consider myself to be wealthy beyond compare because of the relationships and resources I have established and gained.

It is my wish that I will be able to help you help yourself by achieving that same level of success ... and even MORE! I wish for you to find value in all of YOUR seasons! That is what I am here for!

Going BEYOND ... what does that REALLY mean?

2010-02-09T15:46:00.000-08:00

B e a u t i f u l

You are who God made you to be. Providing yourself with the best possible
hydration, nutrition and lifestyle will just keep that beautiful person around a
little bit longer to enjoy this amazing gift called LIFE that we've been
granted!

r E s p e c t

Respect yourSELF! That is the greatest gift you can give yourself! In my
opinion, respect is the most important emotional verb going. Greater than love,
more powerful than hate and more important than all else ... respect!

b e Y o u r s e l f

Don't be afraid to be yourself! If you love to sing, then SING! If you love to
dance, then dance! Just be YOU ... that's who everybody loves and wants around
the most anyway

h O n e s t

Being honest with yourself is possibly one of the hardest tasks to accomplish.
It can be heartbreaking, yet enlightening all at the same time! Don't be afraid
because it can and will be the most rewarding thing you can do for yourself!

N u t r i t i o n

In order to enjoy life you have to treat your body right! Proper diet, nutrition and hydration go a long way! You'll live longer, healthier and happier!

r e t i r e D

Lastly, I don't know about you, but I want to retire as quickly as possible! At
a ripe old age of ... ahem ... I've worked enough! Time to enjoy life! If you join me in this great endeavour then you too could retire before long!!

So that's what going BEYOND means to me!

“The 333 Story” by Bob Proctor

2010-02-08T15:29:00.000-08:00

I was conducting a seminar, which ran from Thursday night to Sunday, at the Deerhurst Lodge, which is a resort approximately 100 miles north of Toronto. On the Friday night, a tornado swept through Barrie, Ontario, a town about 40 miles south of Deerhurst. The tornado killed a dozen people and did millions of dollars worth of damage. On the Sunday night, as I was coming home, I stopped the car when I got to Barrie. I got out on the side of the highway and looked around. It was a mess. Everywhere I looked, there were smashed houses and cars turned upside down.

That same night, another gentleman, Bob Templeton, was driving down the same highway. He and I had never met, however, an idea from my seminar was about to bring us together in a lasting friendship. He stopped to look at the disaster, just as I had, only his thoughts were different than my own. Bob was the Vice-President of Telemedia Communications, a company which owns a string of radio stations in Ontario and Quebec. As he stood there viewing the disaster, he thought there must be something he could do for these people (with the radio stations he had). That thought kept returning to
his mind that night and all the next day.

The following night, I was doing another seminar in Toronto. Bob Templeton and Bob Johnson, another vice-president from Telemedia, came in and stood at the back of the room. They were evaluating my seminar, trying to decide if I could help their company reach its goals, which I ultimately did. Because of Bob Templeton’s influence, I subsequently worked for the entire Canadian broadcasting industry. He loved what I was doing in my seminars because it was in harmony with his way of thinking. Bob Templeton became fascinated with the laws of the universe, particularly The Law of Polarity or as it is often referred to, The Law of Opposites. This law clearly states everything has an opposite. You cannot have an up without a down, hot without cold or in without out. By the same token, if you can figure out why something you want to do cannot be done, by law, you must be able to figure out how it can be done. People who accomplish great things are aware of the negative, however, they give all of their mental energy to the positive. After the seminar, Bob Templeton went back to his office. He told me it was late but this one idea he picked up had him excited. It also had him committed to the idea of raising millions of dollars and giving it to the people who had been caught in the tornado, and he was going to raise the money immediately! Furthermore, he was not remotely interested in why he couldn’t.

The following Friday he called all of his executives at Telemedia into his office. At the top of a flip chart in bold letters, he wrote three 3’s. He said to his executives “How would you like to raise 3 million dollars, 3 days from now, in just 3 hours and give the money to the people in Barrie?” There was nothing but silence in the room.

Finally someone said, “Templeton, you’re crazy. There is absolutely no way we
could raise 3 million dollars, in 3 hours, 3 days from now!”

Bob said, “Wait a minute. I didn’t ask you if we could or even if we should. I just asked you if you would like to.” Bob Templeton was wise; he was appealing to the charitable side of their nature. It was important for those present to openly admit that this was something they wanted to do. Bob Templeton knew that his new idea could show anyone how to accomplish anything they wanted by working with the law.

They all said, “Sure, we’d like to.” He then drew a large T underneath the 333. On one side he wrote, ‘Why We Can’t.’ On the other side he wrote, ‘How We Can.’ Under the words, ‘Why We Can’t,’ Bob Templeton drew a large X. As he placed the X on the flip chart, he said, “Now there is no place to record the ideas we think of which explain why we can’t raise 3 million dollars, in 3 hours, 3 days from now, regardless of how valid they might be.” He continued by explaining, “When anyone calls out an idea which suggests why we can’t, everyone else must yell out as loud as they can, NEXT. That will be our command to go to the next idea. Ideas are like the cars on a train, one always follows the other. We will keep saying Next until a positive idea arrives.”

Bob smiled and continued to explain that, “Opposite the X on the other side of the flipchart, directly under the words, ‘How We Can,’ I will write down every idea that we can come up with on how we can raise 3 million dollars, in 3 hours, 3 days from now.” He also suggested in a very serious tone of voice, that everyone will remain in the room until we figure it out. “We are not only going to think of how we can raise 3 million dollars immediately, after we originate the ideas we are going to execute them!” There
was silence again.

Finally, someone said, “We could do a radio show across Canada.”

Bob said, “That’s a great idea,” and wrote it down under, ‘How We Can.’

Before he had it written on the right hand side of the flipchart, someone said, “You can’t do a radio show across Canada. We don’t have radio stations across Canada!” Since Telemedia only had stations in Ontario and Quebec, you must admit that was a pretty valid objection. However, someone in the back of the room, in a rather soft tone said, “Next.”

Bob Templeton replied, “Doing a radio show is how we can. That idea stays.” But this truly did sound like a ridiculous idea, because radio stations are very competitive. They usually don’t work together and to get them to do so would be virtually impossible according to the standard way of thinking.

All of a sudden someone suggested, “You could get Harvey Kirk and Lloyd Robertson, the biggest names in Canadian broadcasting, to anchor the show.” These gentlemen are anchors of national stature in the Canadian television industry. Someone clearly spoke out saying, “They’re not going to go on radio.” But, at that point the group yelled, “NEXT.” Bob said that was when the energy shifted; everyone got involved and it was absolutely amazing how fast and furious the creative ideas began to flow.

That was on a Friday. The following Tuesday they had a radiothon, where 50 radio stations, from all across the country, agreed to work in harmony for such a good cause. They felt it didn’t matter who got the credit, as long as the people in Barrie got the money. Harvey Kirk and Lloyd Robertson anchored the show and they succeeded in raising 3 million dollars, in 3 hours, within 3 business days!

You see, you can have whatever you want; all things are possible when you put your focus on how you can and “Next” every idea telling you why you can’t.

This may be a difficult exercise in the beginning, however when you persist “Nexting” any and all negative concepts, the flow of positive ideas will roar into your marvelous mind.

Alfred Adler, the renowned psychologist, coined the extraordinary phrase “I am grateful to the idea that has used me.” There can be no doubt that creative, forwardthinking ideas literally breathe new life into every fibre of your being. They awaken a part of you that you never even knew was sleeping.

Bob Templeton never received five cents for the leadership role he played, in marshalling 50 radio stations from right across Canada, to raise the three million dollars for the people of Barrie, Ontario in Canada. However, you must remember that this is truly an orderly universe; God’s way of running this show is exact—when you put good out, it must come back.

I shared this story, when it happened, with two good friends of mine, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen. They were so intrigued by the story, they published it in their book Chicken Soup for the Soul.

A while back I was doing a satellite television broadcast for RE/MAX Real Estate with Mark Victor Hansen and he was telling me that, at last count, they had sold six million copies of their book. He also told me they are constantly receiving letters from people who read the ‘333 story’ and use it to perform similar mental magic in their lives.

Think of it, millions upon millions of people are making positive things happen in their lives because Bob Templeton would not listen to the reasons why he and his staff could not raise 3 million dollars, in 3 hours, just 3 days after they began to brainstorm the idea. By the way, Bob Templeton has told me he and his staff have formed the habit of ‘333ing’ their wants and, as a result, he has gone on to become the President of NewCap Broadcasting company, a highly profitable corporation, with stations right across Canada. It is my opinion that Bob Templeton has set up a force for good that will follow him wherever he goes. Profit has become his second name. Begin at once to ‘333’ all of your wants and profit will follow you as well.

Stressed?

2010-02-04T11:00:00.000-08:00

Hello friends,

As someone who has witnessed cancer first hand, too many times, I would like to draw some attention to this disease in an effort for us all to do what we can to avoid cancer ... or, what my family and I call the C word.

Please read the attached article. It is interesting, and very valid. Stress affects us more than we sometimes realize.

"... there is overwhelming evidence that your mind does matter when it comes to preventing, or triggering, disease"

"Optimal health involves addressing and resolving your emotional traumas as quickly as possible; without letting old emotional wounds contribute to disease."

Let's do what we can to avoid the dreaded C word ... at all costs. There is nothing worse than watching someone you love be defeated by this terrible disease.

Please don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to bring anyone down with this, I'm simply trying to help with awareness. I'm certainly no expert either, I'm simply someone who has been there, and watched too many people I love die from this terrible disease. If getting enough sleep, eating well and getting the proper nutrition and exercising regularly will help prevent this and other diseases, well, then I'm in!! Hope you are too!!

Don't be Lazy in Learning

2010-01-26T18:15:00.000-08:00

Learn what you can while you can is essentially what the late great Jim Rohn is teaching us. As part of our practice of focus, read every day. Do the best you can! Push yourself if you have to ... but learn something every day!

The Power of Focus

2010-01-25T18:16:00.000-08:00

Staying focused on your goal could not be more imperative to success! If your eyes wander, then your thoughts wander. If your thoughts wander, then you lose your way. I stay focused by keeping a time chart of exactly how much time I'm going to spend on one task of that day, or by picking the names of two people that I am going to study up on and learn from. What do they say ... immitation is the sincerest form of flattery? I couldn't agree more! These are just two examples of how I stay in focus, and on task!

Nobody is going to get to job done for us ... the sooner we reach our goals the sooner we can reach for the next level!!
