You can't control others’ acts, but you can control your reaction to their acts, and that is what counts most to you."

No one can make you feel any negative emotion -- fear, anger, or inferiority -- without your express permission. There will always be people who find perverse enjoyment in upsetting others, or who simply play upon your emotions so that they can use you for their own selfish purposes. Whether or not they are successful depends entirely upon you and how you react to their negative behaviors. When you are forced to deal with such people, recognize from the outset that they are trying to upset you, not because of something you may have done to them, but because of some problem they have with themselves. Tell yourself, "This isn't about me. I will not allow this person to upset me. I am in control of my emotions and my life."

“The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.” George Bernard Shaw

Leaders aren’t born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal. Vince Lombardi

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. Anatole France

"This is the time. This is the place. This is the vastness. Right here is paradise. Always. Always." Byron Katie~Speaker & Author

We will get healthy WHEN we find inspiration. Wrong. Those who are waiting now will spend their entire lives waiting. It's here. Now. Today

"You are more apt to “rust” out your brain from disuse than you are to wear it out from use."

http://tinyurl.com/4b3znpx

Unlike a mechanical device that eventually wears out and must be replaced if it is used continually and consistently, the mind grows only stronger when it is active. The more you exercise and stretch your brain, the more proficient it becomes. Disuse, however, will have the same effect upon your mind as it will upon a machine. The most intricate, most powerful machine in the world and the greatest minds will rust away unless they are used. Unless you manage your schedule to permit time for study and learning, it is easy to yield to the temptation to spend your free time in thoughtless, mind-numbing, escapist pastimes. Relaxation is important, but so is gaining new knowledge. Make sure your daily schedule includes an allotment of time for both.

STOP TELLING YOURSELF IT'S ABOUT THE MONEY... IT'S NOT, IT'S ABOUT THE EFFORT...
"You, and YOU ALONE, must decide whether or not the reward for which you are striving (the "money consciousness") is worth the PRICE you MUST PAY for it in EFFORT!" Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill

The mind never becomes tired, but sometimes it becomes bored with the “food” it gets."

Computer experts use the acronym GIGO -- garbage in, garbage out -- to illustrate the fact that the computer can process only the information it is given. The same is true with your mind. If you feed it healthful, nourishing "food," it will grow strong and agile, but if you restrict it to a regular diet of mental "junk food," your mind will become unhealthy, negative, and unproductive. It will return to you what you put into it. Feed your mind a balanced, nourishing diet. Study information from a variety of fields to help you keep up with the latest trends. You may find that the best ideas for your business come from a totally unrelated area.

Control your own mind, and you may never be controlled by the mind of another.

The mind is the most powerful weapon known to man. It simply cannot be controlled or contained by an outside force, however formidable that force may at first appear. Throughout history, tyrants have tried to control those who opposed them, but eventually these rulers discovered the power of the imagination was far greater than the threat of the sword. As Victor Hugo said, "An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come."

"Trying to change the outer is like seeing your unshaven face in the mirror and trying to shave the mirror." Joe Vitale... Bestselling author and co-star of The Secret movie

CAUTION: Don't be fooled by disguise! How to Identify a Venomous Snake: Spring is almost here. There has been much confusion on the appearance of what appears to be a harmless snake, and what is actually deadly, highly venomous snake. Snake bites are at an all time high. BE CAREFUL! What may appear to be a safe pet, just might be looking to fool you with it's cuteness and disguise, just looking to spread its venom.

"I'm selfish, impatient, I get jealous and I'm a little bit insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, & at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." Marilyn Monroe

Regardless if your thoughts are positive or negative, they will produce a cause and effect. Be aware of what you are thinking as the mind has no boundaries! "If you know your own mind, you know enough to keep it always positive."

You may not fully understand the complex process that causes electricity to be generated and transmitted to your home. But you understand very well how to apply and use it to illuminate your home, power your computer, and perform hundreds of other essential tasks. The same is true of your mind. No one understands the incredibly complex workings of the brain; we know only that when we use our mind in a certain way, we achieve a desired result. If we think positively, we achieve positive results.

What's real? Fact vs. Myth

"Change begins and ends with you!"
Michael Jackson-Man In The Mirror lyrics ...
http://ping.fm/pTX3K

Do you allow the art of decision making to rule your time?

A quick decision usually denotes an alert mind.

Successful people are decisive. They don't agonize over decisions and thereby miss out on a great opportunity. They gather the relevant information, discuss alternatives with advisers whose opinions they respect, and then make a decision and get on with it. Indecision creates the worse kind of paralysis and, left unattended, can permanently damage you and your organization. If you have trouble making decisions, remember that there are few decisions that are irreversible. If you later discover that you were wrong, correct your course and move on.

“Your ability to use the principle of autosuggestion will depend, very largely, upon your capacity to concentrate upon a given desire until that desire becomes a burning obsession.” Napoleon Hill

"That which you resist stays." Dr. David Hawkins: Physician & Lecturer... By resisting, you are validating—which makes it real. And permanent. Someone who is 30 pounds overweight needs to visualize himself as a thinner, more fit person. And over time he naturally becomes that very person. The second he thinks of himself and visualizes himself as an overweight person, he will be. Your mind is only capable of honesty—whatever you feed it, becomes.

There is something about truth that makes it easily recognizable by all who are searching for it with open minds.

Cookie mogul Wally Amos is fond of quoting the saying, "The mind is like a parachute. It functions best when opened." When you open your mind to the possibilities, objectively analyze information and refuse to allow your personal preferences and biases to influence your judgment, you will be able to perceive great truths that have been overlooked by others. A closed mind, though, will cause you to miss out on some of life's greatest offerings. If you find yourself disputing the facts, or if you keep attempting to revise them to support your beliefs, ask yourself, ?Why am I so unwilling to accept this information? Am I being logical, or am I simply allowing my emotions to cloud my judgment?? The worst mistake you may ever make is trying to persuade yourself to accept a false truth. It is inappropriate to try to fool others, but when you fool yourself, disaster is sure to follow.

"If you wait until all the lights are ‘green' before you leave home, you'll never get started on your trip to the top." - Zig Ziglar

Don't wait — just do it! Most of us have plans to do something momentous — start a business, double our salary, write a book, run a marathon, or befriend someone in need. And we plan to start as soon as… the new year or new month begins… the kids are out of school… we scrape together more free time… etc. The truth is, there will always be something to wait for. Always excuses. You just have to start. NOW.

Thought For The Day... Sunday, January 9, 2011

"If life hands you a lemon, don’t complain, but instead make lemonade to sell to those who are thirsty from complaining."

Wally Amos, the man whom many consider to be the father of the gourmet cookie industry, has turned lemons into lemonade so often in his life that in his official portrait he holds a pitcher in one hand and a glass of lemonade in the other. A perennial optimist, Amos refuses to acknowledge that obstacles are anything other than stepping-stones to success. In a career that has spanned several decades, he has made it to the pinnacle of success several times, only to lose everything and be forced to start over. But he's never lost faith. "You have to have the trust and faith to let go and not agonize," he says. "Don't waste your time worrying. Worry is not preparation. Analyze the situation and focus on solutions. There is always an answer."

Napoleon Hill Foundation http://www.naphill.org/

"If you are not willing to risk the unusual,
you will have to settle for the ordinary." -Jim Rohn-

Live 2011 DIFFERENTLY. If you want different results, you must live differently. Start by getting up on the other side of the bed. Make yourself a new breakfast. Take a different route to work. Then your new resolve will translate into new habits for your work, your health, your relationships… with extraordinary results!

Why wait for spring cleaning, time to free your brain of all the accumulated dust and clutter!

"Inner peace and the sensation of calm, is a wonderful state of being! An achievement to be experienced by all." Robin Firestone

Before opportunity crowns you with great success, it usually tests your mettle through adversity.

"When adversity overtakes you, it pays to be thankful it was not worse instead of worrying over your misfortune."

http://ping.fm/uyUYz

There are few things in life that are as bad as they seem at first. Dealing with adversity begins with analyzing and accepting your situation for what it is. When you realize that things are not nearly as bad as they might have been, you have taken the first step toward working your way through the problem. It is a truism that you will never be asked to carry a heavier load than you can bear, but it sometimes helps you better appreciate that fact if you volunteer some of your time to help those who are less fortunate than you are.

"I will tell you how to become rich. Close the doors. Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful." — Warren Buffett: Investor, billionaire, and philanthropist
Look around… can you remember a time in your life when so many people were this fearful? This is the time when the Warren Buffetts of the world shine. This is the time when those who take a chance can truly thrive. Might it take you out of your comfort zone? Of course. Can you accomplish something extraordinary if you are truly focused and determined? Absolutely! The time is right for you to finally achieve your entrepreneurial dreams in 2011! Who on earth would start a new business today? Only those who want a steady, reliable income and their greatest opportunity to build wealth. Make a bold decision today to become EXTRAORDINARY!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: "If you don’t know why you failed, you are no wiser than when you began."

There's an old adage that those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. So it is with our failures. Unless we learn from our mistakes, we are likely to repeat them until we learn from such experiences and correct our course -- or give up and accept temporary defeat as permanent failure. Every setback you encounter in life contains valuable information that, if you study it carefully, will eventually lead you to success. Without adversity, you would never develop wisdom, and without wisdom, success would be short lived indeed.

"You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win." -Zig Zigler- Motivational author and speaker

The first couple of weeks in 2011 mark your chance to PLAN to win. You'll do this by setting clear, specific goals in every life area in which you wish to excel. For the next few months, you'll challenge your mind, your body, and your spirit to give it everything you've got to achieve your goals. The reward comes once you reach a point that you literally expect to win... because you most certainly will. Feeling challenged? Overwhelmed? Get in touch with me and we can discuss a fresh approach! robinfirestone@hotmail.com

Count Your Blessings & Begin to Change Your Life in 2011...

My brother-in-law Brad shared this note with me; it had such a positive impact, I'd like to share it with all of you...

1. Give thanks. Once a day take quiet time to feel gratitude for what you have, not impatience for what you don't have. This alone will bring you halfway to happiness. We already have most of the ingredients of a happy life. It's just that we tend to take these for granted and focus on unmet wants, unfulfilled desires. Giving thanks is better than shopping ? and cheaper too.

2. Praise. Catch someone doing something right and say so. Most people, most of the time, are unappreciated. Being recognized, thanked and congratulated by someone else is one of the most empowering things that can happen to us. So don't wait for someone to do it for you: do it for someone else. You will make their day, and that will help make yours.

3. Spend time with your family. Make sure that there is at least one time a week when you sit down to have a meal together with no distractions ? no television, no phone, no email, just being together, talking together, celebrating one another's company. Happy marriages and healthy families need dedicated time.

4. Discover meaning. Take time out, once in a while, to ask, 'Why am I here? What do I hope to achieve? How best can I use my gifts? What would I wish to be said about me when I am no longer here?' Finding meaning is essential to a fulfilled life ? and how can you find it if you never look? If you don't know where you want to be, you will never get there however fast you run.

5. Live your values. Most of us believe in high ideals, but we act on them only sporadically. The best thing to do is to establish habits that get us to enact those ideals daily. This is called ritual, and it's what religions remember but ethicists often forget.

6. Forgive. This is the emotional equivalent of losing excess weight. Life is too short to bear a grudge or seek revenge. Forgiving someone is good for them but even better for you. The bad has happened. It won't be made better by your dwelling on it. Let it go. Move on.

7. Keep learning. I learned this from Florence in Newcastle, whom I last met the day she celebrated her 105th birthday. She was still full of energy and fun. What's the secret? I asked her. 'Never be afraid to learn something new', she said. Then I realized that if you are willing to learn, you can be 105 and still young. If you are not, you can be 25 and already old.

8. Learn to listen. Often in conversation we spend half our time thinking of what we want to say next instead of paying attention to what the other person is saying. Listening is one of the greatest gifts we can give to someone else. It means that we are open to them, that we take them seriously, that we accept graciously their gift of words.

9. Create moments of silence in the soul. Liberate yourself, if only five minutes daily, from the tyranny of technology, the mobile phone, the laptop and all the other electronic intruders, and just inhale the heady air of existence, the joy of being.

10. Transform suffering. When bad things happen to you, use them to sensitises you to the pain of others. The greatest people I know ? people who survived tragedy and became stronger as a result ? did not ask, 'Who did this to me?' Instead they asked, 'What does this allow me to do that I could not have done before?' They refused to become victims of circumstance. They became, instead, agents of hope.Most of these are, of course, integral elements of a religious life, which may be why so many surveys have shown that those who practice a religious faith tend to live longer, have lower levels of stress and report higher degrees of wellbeing than others. This is not accidental. The great religions are our richest treasuries of wisdom when it comes to the question of how best to live a life.

Life's too full of blessings to waste time and attention on artificial substitutes.

... Live, give, forgive, celebrate and praise: these are still the best ways of making a blessing over life, thereby turning life into a blessing.

Happy New Year Everyone!
Robin Firestone "The Home Business Diva"

Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy, Loving and Prosperous New Year to all of you! Let's create MIRACLES in 2011... Turn up your speakers: http://ping.fm/GkewS

I am dedicating this song and lyrics to my sister Linda on her birhtday and all of you fabulous females out there! http://ping.fm/b9FYn

FRIENDLY COOPERATION WILL GET YOU FAR MORE THAN UNFRIENDLY AGITATION IN ANY MARKET.

When you treat your competitors with the courtesy and respect you would like, most will respond in kind, and the result is a stable, productive, profitable industry.

On the other hand, an industry or market that is composed of vicious, unethical competitors will soon destroy itself.

When you are asked how your products and services compare with those of your competitors, speak respectfully and politely about your rivals, but use the question to shift the discussion to your company and your products. Acknowledge others’ good points, and then move on. If you complain too much about the competition, prospective customers may wonder what they are missing and refuse to buy until they have compared your products and services with those of others.

Celebrating 7 years in the Network Marketing/Direct Sales Industry, I have proudly lived by the above words. True INTEGRITY is being non partisan... in-other-words, different strokes for different folks. To all of my colleagues in our industry, let's keep it real, keep it honest and take a stand for this wonderful industry by honoring one another. Let the customer get the facts and make up their own mind, as to what business is the best fit for them. Together, on the same mission, we will have the most productive 2011, and make history together as we create more successful entrepreneurs than ever before, instead of them having to second guess their decisions!

WISHING ALL OF YOU A JOYOUS HOLIDAY SEASON, AND A FANTASTIC NEW YEAR!

Respectfully, your friend,
Robin Firestone "The Home Business Diva"

NO ONE CAN SUCCEED AND REMAIN SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT THE FRIENDLY COOPERATION OF OTHERS.

In today’s interdependent society, it is virtually impossible in any business, profession, or occupation for an individual to achieve great heights of success without the help of others. The best way to get friendly cooperation is to give it. When you make it a practice to encourage others and to help them advance in their careers whenever possible, most will reciprocate when you need their help. Give generously, and you will benefit in kind.

You know what "they" say about KARMA!

"FAILURE SEEMS TO BE NATURES’S PLAN FOR PREPARING US FOR GREAT RESPONSIBILITIES."
If everything we attempted in life were achieved with a minimum of effort and came out exactly as planned, how little we would learn-and how boring life would be! And how arrogant we would become if we succeeded at everything we attempted.Failure allows us to develop the essential quality of humility.

"Most people have no idea of the giant capacity
we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives." Anthony Robbins

"The mind is a prolific author. What you believe—along with the actions you take—composes your life. At this moment our lives reflect where we have been in consciousness and what we have done with our time."

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?
~ No Limits, by Napoleon Hill ~
There are no limitations to the power of the mind save only those which the individual establishes for himself, or permits to be established by the influences outside of himself.




Truly, whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve!




Study well the three key words in the foregoing sentence because they epitomize the sum and the substance of this entire chapter.



Your success in the application of the mind-conditioning formula presented in this chapter will depend very largely upon the mental attitude in which you apply it. If you BELIEVE you will get satisfactory results, you will get them.



When you give directives to your subconscious mind, through the statement herein which was prepared for that purpose, you may hasten success by repeating the statement in the form of a prayer, and thereby place the entire power of your religious BELIEF back of your statement.





The word BELIEF is symbolic of a power that has no limitations within reason and we find evidence of its influence wherever we find people who have achieved noteworthy success in any calling.





Thomas A. Edison BELIEVED he could perfect an incandescent electric lamp, and that belief carried him successfully through the ten thousand failures before he got the answer for which he had been searching.





Marconi BELIEVED the ether could be made to carry the vibrations of sound without the use of wires, and that belief carried him through many failures until he was finally rewarded by triumph, and gave the world its first wireless means of communication.





Columbus BELIEVED he would find land in an uncharted portion of the Atlantic Ocean, and he sailed on and on until he found it, despite the threatened mutiny of his sailors who were not so blessed as he with the capacity for BELIEF.





Madame Schumann-Heink BELIEVED she could become a great opera singer, although her singing teacher had advised her to go back to her sewing machine and be content as a seamstress. Her BELIEF rewarded her with success.





Helen Keller BELIEVED she could learn to talk despite the fact that she lost her use of speech, sight, and hearing, and her BELIEF restored her speech and helped her to become a shining example of encouragement to all people who are tempted to give up in despair because of some physical affliction.





Henry Ford BELIEVED he could build a horseless buggy that would provide rapid transportation at small cost, and despite the far-flung cry of "crackpot" and the skepticism of the world, he belted the earth with the product of his BELIEF, and made himself immensely wealthy.





Madame Marie Curie BELIEVED that radium metal existed and gave herself the task of finding its source, despite the fact that no one had ever seen radium and no one knew where to start looking for it. Her BELIEF finally revealed the source of that precious metal.

Thought for the Day ...December 6, 2010

FAILURE IS A BLESSING WHEN IT PUSHES US OUT OF A CUSHIONED SEAT OF SELF-SATISFACTION AND FORCES US TO DO SOMETHING USEFUL.

If you carefully study your own life and those of achievers whom you admire, it is an absolute certainty you will discover that your greatest opportunities often occurred during times of adversity. It is only when faced with the possibility of failure that we are willing to deal with radical change and take the risks that lead to great success. When you experience temporary failure and you know that it is temporary, you can capitalize on the opportunities adversity always brings.

"HUMAN FAULTS ARE LIKE GARDEN WEEDS. THEY GROW WITHOUT CULTIVATION AND SOON TAKE OVER THE PLACE IF THEY AREN’T THINNED OUT."

Habits are formed so slowly that most of us don’t realize what is happening until the habits are too strongly entrenched to be broken. Seldom can one pattern of behavior be eliminated without replacing it with another. It has been said that nature abhors a vacuum and will always find something to fill a void. The best way to thin out the "weeds," or faults in your character, is to identify those traits with which you are dissatisfied and replace them with their positive counterparts. If you have a tendency to lose your temper, for example, find a replacement for your anger. Neutralize it with a positive expression or affirmation such as, No one can make me angry unless I let them. I will not let anyone else control my emotions.

“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”
~William Arthur Ward

"MOST FAILURES COULD HAVE BEEN CONVERTED INTO SUCCESSES IF SOMEONE HAD HELD ON ANOTHER MINUTE OR MADE MORE EFFORT." When you have the potential for success within you, adversity and temporary defeat shows up only to help you prepare to reach great heights of success.

"The most wonderful gift one human being can give to another, is in some way, to make that person's life a little bit better to live."

John Assaraf... Author and Speaker

THERE IS A VAST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FAILURE AND TEMPORARY DEFEAT.

There is no such thing as failure, unless it is accepted as such. Every defeat is temporary unless you give up and allow it to become permanent. In fact, temporary defeat often makes us stronger and more capable. Each time we try and fail, we learn something that helps prepare us for eventual success. Only in the classroom is there a single correct answer for every problem. If you try an approach that doesn’t work, try something else. When you view adversity as nothing more than a learning experience, your successes in life will far outnumber your failures.

"SUCCESS REQUIRES NO EXPLANATION; FAILURES MUST BE DOCTORED WITH ALIBIS."

The surest way to achieve acceptance in any organization or in any line of work is to be successful. Unfortunately, life doesn’t work that way. No matter how carefully you study a subject, no matter how rationally you make decisions, no matter how well prepared you are, you will occasionally make mistakes. Human beings always do. The important thing is to realize that temporary setbacks are not permanent failures. Successful people recognize that we all experience temporary setbacks that require us to reevaluate our performance and take corrective action to achieve success. They know that adversity is never permanent.

Win One for the Gipper: Knute Rockne Speech. One of the most Powerful, Inspirational and recognized speeches of all time:
http://ping.fm/bT68H

Knute Rockne gave his "Win One for the Gipper" speech to the Notre Dame players at halftime of the 1928 Army game. Rockne was trying to salvage something from his worst season as a coach at Notre Dame. To inspire the players he told them the story of the tragic death of the greatest player ever at ND, George Gipp. Although historians believe that it is doubtful that Rockne's version of Gipp's last words was true, Notre Dame did win the game against Army.

More importantly, the story became solidified into popular culture after its recreation in the 1940 movie, Knute Rockne - All American. The phrase "Win one for the Gipper" was infused into the lexicon of American society and later became a rallying cry for the political campaigns of the actor who played Gipp in the movie, Ronald Reagan. Below is the transcript of the dialogue from the movie that begins one hour and seventeen minutes after the showing of the MGM logo.

The scene opens with the interior of the Notre Dame dressing room. The players, seated with blankets draped over their shoulders, are dejected and silent. The door pushes open and Rockne is wheeled in. They look at Rockne (played by Pat O'Brien) in mute apology, then guiltily away, as if to avoid his eyes. His dark-circled eyes range over the players for a full moment of unbroken silence. Then, quietly, as if the game didn't matter to him:

ROCKNE: Well, boys ... I haven't a thing to say. Played a great game...all of you. Great game.

(He tries to smile.) I guess we just can't expect to win ‘em all. (Rockne pauses and says quietly). I'm going to tell you something I've kept to myself for years -- None of you ever knew George Gipp. It was long before your time. But you know what a tradition he is at Notre Dame...

(There is gentle, faraway look in his eyes as he recalls the boy's words). And the last thing he said to me -- "Rock," he said - "sometime, when the team is up against it -- and the breaks are beating the boys -- tell them to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Gipper...

(Knute's eyes become misty and his voice is unsteady as he finishes). I don't know where I'll be then, Rock", he said - "but I'll know about it - and I'll be happy."

There is a hushed stillness as Rockne and the crowd of boys look at each other. In the midst of this tense silence, Rockne quietly says "Alright," to the men beside him, and his chair is wheeled slowly out of the dressing room.

PLAYER # 12: Well, what are we waiting for?

With a single roar, the players throw off their blankets and rush through the doorway.

Reflection: We all have soneone in our lives like "the gipper." Let's honor that special person, and go the extra mile and WIN our game, our game of life! IF NOT NOW, WHEN?

Robin and Jack Firestone, authors of "Chasing Diana," will appear LIVE November 5th on Internet radio’s "Full Power Living" 12 PM EST, 9 AM PST (or iTunes). "We’ve been on-air since 2004, committed to helping people everywhere to experience, understand and master the human navigational system–their emotions." Ilene L. Dillon, M.S.W

Jack and Robin Firestone’s personal experience of being the only American eyewitnesses to the aftermath of the crash that killed Princess Diana, was the fuel that fired the writing of their book Chasing Diana. Their inner journey of self discovery, healing and growth piqued the interest of the world press. Stating that “We believe everything happens for a reason,” Jack and Robin Firestone have written Chasing Diana in order to set the record straight, allowing everyone to hear some of the hidden facts of Princess Diana’s untimely death. They say “You never want to believe that what happened to Princess Diana was anything more than an accident, but the more we saw, the ore we could not help but believe that there’s something deeper here. Visit with them, live, when they appear on Full Power Living, 12 PM EST, 9 AM PST, November 5th.

About Ilene:

Ilene L. Dillon wears many hats: psychotherapist, author, Internet radio host, coach, continuing education provider and professional speaker. Recently, someone asked her to prioritize these roles. She responded, "I love them all." Trained as a Social Worker, Ilene graduated with a Master’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1972. and holds two California licenses–an MFT (Marriage and Family Therapist; MFT 4757) and an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker LCS 7035).

As a Professional Member of the National Speakers Association since 1984, Ilene served four years on the Northern California Chapter’s Board of Directors, and was Member of the Year in 1993-94. Ilene’s personal mission is to teach people (including herself!) about Love. As part of that quest, she has learned about all emotions: why we have them, how to allow and work with them, how to learn from them and why it’s important to then let them go. She has collected 35 years of clinical information about human lives, problems and triumphs, which she uses in her work with groups, classes and in psychotherapy. She, like all of us, reports that she is "still learning." Ilene is completing a manuscript entitled "Born to Learn," which depicts our human role as learners, and is her 16th book.

We are so excited! Tomorrow @ 12:00 PM EST, listen LIVE as Jack and I are the featured guests on "Full Power Living" internet radio broadcast show, with incredible Host, Ilene Dillion. Today, you can listen to Ilenes interview with Mariel Hemmingway. Click here for more info:http://ping.fm/BqEva

Thought for the Day ...November 4, 2010

"THERE IS HARMONY THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE IN EVERYTHING EXCEPT HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS."

Our universe is characterized by order and harmony, yet we human beings must constantly struggle to achieve the same characteristics in our relationships. In fact, human beings seem to find it unnatural to cooperate with others. Successful individuals are those who have learned to swim against the current, to do the things that others refuse to do. They have learned how to work together for the benefit of the entire group. Achieving harmony in any relationship-business, personal, or professional-requires work. Take comfort in the fact that you’ll accomplish far more working with others than working against them.

"To grow, you must be willing to let your present and future be totally unlike your past. Your history is not your destiny." Alan Cohen

"REMEMBER THAT THE TONE OF YOUR VOICE OFTEN CONVEYS MORE ACCURATELY WHAT IS IN YOUR MIND THAN DO YOUR WORDS."

In a moment of conflict, a suggestion or compromise can salvage a threatened working relationship. A discouraged employee can be motivated again through a few carefully chosen words. In situations like these, a good manager is looking beyond an immediate situation and acting to preserve a future benefit. But if your voice betrays your own anger, fear, or despair, that emotion, not the wisdom you offer, will be what others remember. Those who rise to the top in any organization are those who have learned to control their emotions. When you have a leadership position, others will watch you closely for the signals you send. You must learn to manage yourself and all the ways in which you convey messages to others if you want to inspire them and demonstrate that you care about all the members of your team.

This positive message is brought to you by the Napoleon Hill Foundation.

"DON’T OVERLOOK SMALL DETAILS. REMEMBER THAT THE UNIVERSE AND ALL THAT IS IN IT ARE MADE FROM TINY ATOMS." There is an old expression that says, "If you take care of the little things, the big things will take care of themselves." It’s another way of saying that every job is composed of many small details, any one of which, if overlooked, can create big problems later. If you have trouble dealing with details-paperwork, expense accounts, and other annoying details-set aside a time during your work cycle (daily, weekly, or monthly) to deal with such unpleasant tasks. Prepare yourself mentally to deal with those tasks, and you may find that you dispense with them quickly and efficiently. You may even find that the job wasn’t nearly as unpleasant as you expected it to be.at has the greatest likelihood of success.

"MANY SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE HAVE FOUND OPPORTUNITIES IN FAILURE AND ADVERSITY THAT THEY COULD NOT RECOGNIZE IN MORE FAVORABLE CIRCUMSTANCES." Samuel Johnson once observed that the prospect of being hanged wonderfully focuses the mind. You yourself may have found that your mind seems sharpest when you are faced with the greatest difficulties. Desperation often proves you really are better than you think. But with the exception of an immediate threat to your life or health, there are few situations that require instantaneous action. When the world seems to be conspiring against you and nothing is working out right, pause for a few moments to think the situation through-then develop the most appropriate plan of action, the one that has the greatest likelihood of success.

"Determination and perseverance move the world; thinking that others will do it for you is a sure way to fail." Marva Collins ~ Educator

"NATURE YIELDS HER MOST PROFOUND SECRETS TO THOSE WHO ARE DETERMINED TO UNCOVER THEM."

The field of science is perhaps the best illustration of how success always seems to come to those who apply the principle of accurate thinking in a persistent, determined effort. America’s great inventor Thomas A. Edison is said to have failed 10,000 times in his attempt to develop a workable electric lightbulb. He learned from each failure and refused to quit until he succeeded.

Breakthroughs occur every day because a determined person continues to search for solutions to complex problems long after everyone else has given up and gone home. You may not invent the lightbulb or the next supercomputer, but you can find creative solutions to old problems if you apply the proven principles of success consistently and persistently.

THE RIGHT SORT OF ACTIONS REQUIRE NO EMBELLISHMENT OF WORDS.

One of the most common mistakes is making excuses to explain why we do not succeed. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people in the world-those who do not succeed-are excuse-makers. They try to explain their action, or inaction, with words. When you succeed, accept the congratulations of others with good grace; when you fail, take responsibility for your actions, learn from your mistakes, and move on to more constructive things. When your actions are appropriate in every circumstance, you will never feel the need to explain them with words. Your actions will say all that needs to be said.

THIS IS A FINE WORLD FOR THE PERSON WHO KNOWS PRECISELY WHAT HE OR SHE EXPECTS FROM LIFE AND IS BUSY GETTING IT.

We are happiest when we are striving to achieve a goal. When we achieve one goal, it’s a natural human tendency to set another, usually bigger, one. W. Clement Stone calls it inspirational dissatisfaction-the letdown one experiences after a goal has been achieved and before the next step toward a new one has been taken. When you begin to experience that nagging feeling, it’s time to get into action! Make sure you have a long-range plan in place so that when one short-term goal has been achieved, there is a natural progression toward the next.

Many people fail to realize that big success is the result of little successes achieved, often over a very long period of time. Truly successful people are long-term thinkers. They know that they must build upon each achievement and constantly learn new and better ways of doing things. A regular review of your progress is an essential part of goal-setting. A goal is little more than a wish unless it has a timetable for completion. Make sure your plan for your life includes short-, medium-, and long-term goals. Revise your goals as circumstances dictate, check them off when they are completed, and set new and bigger goals for yourself as you grow. And take time to reflect often to make sure you are on the right course-for you.

Thought for the Day ~ July 21, 2010 ~ IT ISN’T DEFEAT, BUT RATHER YOUR MENTAL ATTITUDE TOWARD IT, THAT WHIPS YOU.

There are many things in life that you cannot control, but you can always control your attitude toward them. Defeat is never permanent unless you allow it to be so. When you have a positive attitude, you will recognize failure for the impostor that it is and realize that it is really a learning experience, a valuable lesson that will help you succeed with the next attempt. Ask yourself: What could I have done differently that would have altered the outcome? What can I do in the future to minimize problems and mistakes? What did I learn from this experience that I can put to good use next time? If you approach obstacles and setbacks with a positive attitude, you will be surprised how quickly you can turn defeat into victory.

Thought for the Day ... July 15, 2010

A POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE IS AN IRRESISTIBLE FORCE THAT KNOWS NO SUCH THING AS AN IMMOVABLE BODY.

Time and again we hear stories about ordinary people who do seemingly impossible things when they find themselves in an emergency situation. They perform herculean feats of strength and endurance, things they never dreamed they were capable of doing. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could harness that strength and make it available anytime you need it? You can-if you believe you can. No doubt you can remember a time in your life when you were exceptionally focused on your objective, a time when you achieved more in less time than ever before. Perhaps it was an impending vacation that motivated you to get everything done before you departed, or perhaps it was a "must pass" exam that helped you focus your concentration. The intensity that you developed in those situations is always available to you when you have a Positive Mental Attitude.

What do you desire? What do you deserve? There is an enormous difference between those two questions. Will you do whatever is "required" for as long as it takes, to get what you "desire" and "deserve?"

Thought for the Day

July 12, 2010

CHARACTER IS ACCURATELY REFLECTED IN ONE’S MENTAL ATTITUDE.

Without a strong foundation built on positive character traits, success will not long endure. It is virtually impossible to fake good character. Phonies are quickly spotted because they haven’t the substance and determination to maintain the charade. Developing good character begins with a positive attitude. Your desire to be a good, decent, honest, considerate person must first take place in your mind. When you make the decision to become a person of character, you will also find that you are much more willing to do the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do.

The Home Business Diva's "Top 10 Success Strategies" For Long Term Results In The Network Marketing & Direct Sales Industry

1. Commit and follow through with your decision to start, build, and grow your business.

2. Look for a company that has outside third party validation, products that are in high demand and strong value, a powerful compensation where YOU get paid first and YOU keep 100% of YOUR Profits, a supportive, caring and growing community available to assist you, along with a planned vision for growth into the future. Finally, as Robert Kiyosaki says, be sure there is ongoing Personal Development Training and Mentoring.

3. Be certain your company has invested in a top notch, turn-key proven Training Program that includes Successful International Trainers, an up-to-date "plug and play" Marketing System designed by experts in this industry, utilizing current, state of the art technology.

4. Commit to the Company System and become part of the Company Community. Surround yourself with successful, like minded individuals as often as possible and watch what happens!

5. Stay in touch with your enroller often to review your progress, especially in the first 30 days. Take the time to build a solid infrastructure in your business.

6. Take personal responsibility, and have accountability every day.

7. Have patience, Rome wasn't built in a day!

8. Identify your goals and chart your progress daily. Ask yourself this question throughout the day... "Is what I am doing right now moving me towards my goals or away from my goals?"

9. Make business decisions based on Facts, not Fear.

10. Finally, when seeking advice regarding your business, rely on the wisdom of the successful and experienced people in your industry, not on your spouse, family or friends. After all, if you required open heart surgery, you would not seek the advice of a brain surgeon!


Follow these simple strategies without exception, and look for more tips next week!

"So let your deepest desires direct your aim. Set your sights far above the 'reasonable' target. The power of purpose is profound only if you have a desire that stirs the heart." Price Pritchett

ARE YOU WAITING FOR SUCCESS TO ARRIVE, OR ARE YOU GOING OUT TO FIND WHERE IT IS HIDING?

THE PERSON WHO COMPLAINS THAT HE OR SHE NEVER HAD A CHANCE PROBABLY HASN’T THE COURAGE TO TAKE A CHANCE.

Thomas Edison once observed that the reason most folks don’t recognize opportunity when it comes along is that it is often dressed in coveralls and look like work. Often opportunity involves a great deal of work and a willingness to take a chance on something, the outcome of which may be uncertain. Eventually you reach a point when you must either accept an opportunity with all of its unknowns or else turn your back on it. No one can tell you when you have reached that point; you alone know when it’s time to make your move, to have the courage to take a chance.

"The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you find something you love to do, be the best at doing it." Debbi Fields

Habit is what keeps you going."

Thought For Today

Thought for the Day

GREAT ACHIEVEMENT IS BORN OF A STRUGGLE.

"Our strength grows out of our weakness," said Ralph Waldo Emerson. "Not until we are pricked and stung and sorely shot at, awakens the indignation which arms itself with secret forces." Strife and struggle can inspire you to overcome adversity and to propel yourself to real achievement. View every struggle as an opportunity for personal growth. It is the struggle itself, not the result that builds character. If you know you are right, stay the course even though the whole world seems to be against you and everyone you know questions your judgment. When you prevail-and you eventually will if you stick to the job-they will all tell you that they knew all along you could do it.

"Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I shall have the belief that I can do it. I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it, even if I may not have it at the beginning."
