FEATURED ARTICLE

 

The greatest of all success rules is this: do unto others as you would if you were the others.  Read that again, slowly.

 

The Golden Rule is more than a principle of ethical behavior; it is a dynamic force that can work good in the lives of untold numbers of people. When you make it a practice to treat others as though you were the others, you spread goodwill among people who, in turn, may be moved to do the same. By their actions, they influence still more people, who generate goodwill among even more people. This force for goodwill increases exponentially and will return to you from totally new sources. The benefit you receive from a good deed performed today by a total stranger may have been a chain reaction from long ago when you observed the Golden Rule in your own dealings with another. 

These words were true when Napoleon Hill wrote them not long after the turn of the 20th century and they are still true at the start of the 21st century.

 

I love the TV commercials that show one good deed amplifying to each person who 

observes the good deed doing another good deed.  

Usually the good deeds cost nothing but time or effort but payback 100 fold.  Most of you already practice the Golden Rule as a way of life.  Start encouraging others to do so as well.  This the path to becoming a true part of the "Force for Good".  Then begin to watch the good manifest in your life.

PROSPERITY

 

Prosperity is an attitude. The markets are going through tremendous swings so far this year.  Not for the faint of heart.  If you have money in mutual funds, most of them have already positioned themselves to weather the storm.  Exercise prudence in this environment.  If you have a financial advisor, talk to them regularly.  If you want some guidance on what to do with your money in a recession, get Dale's book by the same name from http://www.bridging2wealth.com.  You will be glad you did.

 

Keep more for yourself by saving your tax refund and the money from the economic stimulus.  It is bonus money, put it to work for you.  Contribute to your retirement accounts. If you don't yet have a retirement account, talk to Dale. She can help you get started.

 

 

**************

 

PROSPEROUS AFFIRMATIONS

 

My higher self and the Universe are now aligned to providing unlimited abundance to me each and every day.

 

I am now pay myself first, and save more money for me.

 

I am now more conscious of my

spending patterns and where I can save.

HARMONY

 

 

This is the 40th anniversary year for the Peace sign.  How wonderful is that?  All over the world that symbol that looks like a chicken foot in a circle is known and understood to symbolize Peace.  The attainment of harmony with your environment creates and contributes to the Universal power of Peace. 

 

Even if we cannot directly stop a war we can certainly contribute to the global bank of Peace by our own actions and our own state of being.  Enjoy being a part of the global peace movement.  Flash a peace sign to someone today!

HEALTH

 

Clutter is low energy that drains energy from you.

 

The good news, though, is that once you clear most of your clutter and have a clear system to avoid its accumulation in the future; you will start experiencing higher energy levels, more clarity and a heightened sense of well-being.  Take a look at these areas in your home.

 

The bedroom. We are most influenced by things, events and people that are closest to us, so it is absolutely logical (and highly

advisable) to first start applying feng shui to clear the clutter in your bedroom.

 

Clear the clutter under the bed.

Thoroughly de-clutter and clean your closets. 

Let go of as many items as possible that you have not used in a long time.

Take out all the items that create visual (and

energetic) clutter and do not really

belong in the bedroom. This includes the TV, any exercise equipment, office/work related items, storage items, etc etc.

 

The kitchen. In feng shui, the state of your kitchen is the state of your health, especially the state of your liver. Liver is the main detoxifying organ in the body. So do your liver and your health a favor and clean up and de-clutter that kitchen!

 

De-clutter the refrigerator.

Clean the stove and all the pots and pans.

Let go of all harsh chemical cleaners from the kitchen and go for natural ones.

Clean out all the drawers, surfaces, light fixtures, etc.

 

The main entrance. Your main entrance is the way your house gets its energy nourishment and in feng shui it is called the mouth of Chi, or energy. Upon the entrance to every space your energy is looking for grounding and focus, so do treat your senses respectfully and provide for a visual relief.

 

Let go of any objects in your main door area that are not really needed there, such as the recycle bins in full view, old unused pots, etc, etc.

 

Find a way to deal with all the incoming mail so that it does not overflow the space. A small drawer in the closet may be a solution if the space is limited in the entryway area.

 

Keep only the in-season items in your main entry closet.

 

Bring a sense of beauty to your main entry, as in feng shui its state determines the quality of Chi, or energy, that comes into your house.

 

Focus on these three areas, as they are most strongly connected to your health and well-being. Clarify, Purify and Let Go. Create a fresh pathway for strong vibrant Chi to flow into your Home and nourish your energy.

Chuckle for the day:

 

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa , taking her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the company.

 

One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that he's lost.. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

 

The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep trouble now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"

 

Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. 

"Whew!", says the leopard,

"That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!"

 

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been

watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.

 

The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!

 

Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?", but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says.

 

"Where's that monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!"

AWARENESS

 

You have all seen the awareness bracelets and magnets on vehicles.  So, what are you aware of?  What do you need to be aware about?  Do you have your own magnet, bracelet or sticker?  If so, what does it say?  When was the last time you looked at it?

 

The point is that is is all too easy to slip into unawareness.  It is our normal state in civilized society.  We no longer need to utilize our awareness to the level we did when we were hunter/gatherers.  So today, make a conscious choice to be aware.  Be aware of your surroundings, the breeze that lifts your hair, the rustling of the leaves in nature.

 Be aware of whatever you need to be aware of.  Do it today.

A STORY FOR INSPIRATION

 

The Law of the Garbage Truck

by David J.  Pollay

 

How often do you let other people's

nonsense change your mood?  Do you let a bad driver,rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day?  Unless you're the Terminator, for an instant you're probably set back on your heels.  However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly she/he can get back her/his focus on what's important.

 

Years ago I learned this lesson.

I learned it in the back of a New York City taxi cab.

 

Here's what happened.

I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station.  We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.

 

My taxi driver slammed on his breaks,

skidded,and missed the other car's back end by just inches!  The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, whipped his head around and he started yelling bad words at us.

 

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.  And I mean, he was friendly.

So, I said, "Why did you just do that?

This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!"

 

And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, "The Law of the Garbage Truck."

Many people are like garbage trucks.

They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.

As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it.  And if you let them, they'll dump it on you.

 

When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You'll be happy you did.

 

So this was it: The "Law of the Garbage Truck."

I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me?

And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people:

at work, at home, on the streets?

 

It was that day I said, "I'm not going to do it anymore."

I began to see garbage trucks.

Like in the movie "The Sixth Sense," the little boy said, "I see Dead People." Well, now "I see Garbage Trucks."

I see the load they're carrying.

I see them coming to drop it off.

And like my Taxi Driver, I don't make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave, wish them well, and I move on.

 

One of my favorite football players of all time, Walter Payton, did this every day on the football field.  He would jump up as quickly as he hit the ground after being tackled. 

He never dwelled on a hit.  Payton was ready to make the next play his best.

 

Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. 

Good parents know that they have to

welcome their children home

from school with hugs and kisses.

Leaders and parents know that they have to be fully present, and at their best for the people they care about. The bottom line is that successful people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day.

 

What about you?

What would happen in your life, starting today, if you let more garbage trucks pass you by?

 

Here's my bet.

You'll be happier.

Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so..

Love the people who treat you right.

Forget about the ones who don't.

Believe that everything happens for a

reason.

If you get a chance , TAKE IT!

If it changes your life , LET IT!
