Thought You Might Enjoy This! One day,  Satan was having a sale of his wares. On display, and offered for sale, were the rapier of jealousy, the dagger of fear, and the strangling noose of hatred, each with its own high price. But standing alone on a purple pedestal was a worn and battered wedge. This was the devil's most prized possession, for with it alone he could stay in business. It was not for sale ... it was the wedge of discouragement. Why do you suppose the devil valued so highly, and actually would not sell, the worn and battered wedge of discouragement? Makes you think doesn't it? He prized discouragement because of its enfeebling, demoralizing effect. Hatred, fear or jealousy may lead an immature person to act unwisely, to fight, or to run. But at least they act. Discouragement on the other hand, hurts the person more than any of these. It causes the person to sit down, pity himself or herself and do nothing. Now this doesn't have to happen, but unfort...

"...to their credit, they were children—children who were no doubt told by their parents not to so much as look in the direction of the beach. They were children who had no choice but to keep themselves busy while waiting for their parents to take them by the hand and lead them to their next adventure. They did the best they could with what they had without being tempted by what was around them. They were children. But what is my excuse? On more than one occasion I have found myself entirely wrapped up, fighting and frustrated, stomping around barefoot trying to stake my claim on a tiny, insignificant pile of sand—the sand of relationships, the sand of social status or money, the sand of a career… whatever. I have been deeply consumed in games of King of the Mini Mound that leave me oblivious to the beautiful beaches around me. Beaches with unlimited sand, possibility, and happiness. We’ve all been there. Investing our energy in small things while the big ones lay untouched...

I’m so happy and grateful now that … each day is filled with inspiration, joy and new opportunities. I’ve met and exceeded my 2014 goals with calmness, purpose and commitment. Be sure to visit the Proctor and Gallagher Institute at www.proctorgallagherinstitute.com

Every day you and I are being bombarded with negatives. Politics, prices, the economy, interest rates - you name it, we're hearing about it ... bad news. Supreme mental strength is required to keep your mind on a track that will lead to a positive end result.  Now is an excellent time to put your nose into a few history books. You will find the stories of men and women who have continued to win, in spite of what was happening all around them. There have always been personalities who took the economic environment as it existed in their day, and instead of letting it guide their every move, they continued with life as if it had little or no effect on their results. Successful business people have always done that and probably always will. Regardless of what the economic environment was like, some people have figured out how to overcome it. There is, as it turns out, always a way. This optimistic statement seems worth expanding on. In every era, including our own, people have ...

“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 look for a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you. So when someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be happier.” 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, you’re probably set back on your heels. However, the mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s important in your life. Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson. And 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 ri...

Dear Congress: I recently started watching    6 Minutes to Success™   by the Proctor & Gallagher Institute ( http://www.getresultsthatstick.com/dream-life/ ).   I highly recommend it! And though I am only a fraction through the vast video library provided through my membership, and have only absorbed the first two chapters in both    Think and Grow Rich  (by Napolean Hill) and  You Were Born Rich  (by Bob Proctor) , I can say with great confidence that this information is our Country's  salvation.  In fact, I'm more than a 100% sure that this information is our only salvation in  eliminating  our debt entirely!  And to the only map to a stable economy.   I invite each of you to   Click HERE     to download Bob Proctor's book, Y ou Were Born Rich and read Chapter 2 on Debt Reduction.     And for a copy of Napolean Hill's book Think and Grow Rich just Click HERE It's FREE! ...
