Jack Canfield - Author of "The Success Principle" Book

TAKE 100% RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE

As human beings, we often believe we don't have enough money,
romance, success or joy in our lives. But what we need to
understand is that greatness exists in all of us. It's simply
a matter of pulling that greatness out of ourselves and using
it to get us from where we are now...to where we want to be.

While many people believe they are entitled to live a great
life, top achievers we've met over the years know they must
take 100% responsibility for achieving the lifestyle,
relationships, financial freedom and opportunities they
experience in their lives.

This isn't always easy. But one way to start taking more
responsibility is to begin responding differently to the events
that occur in your life. Remember the formula from Principle #1
of The Success Principles book?

---->>> E + R = O

Event + Response = Outcome. That's right...you can actually
change the outcomes in your life - and get better ones - simply
by responding differently to challenges and opportunities
that occur.

From Bob Proctor

Happy New Year to you!

This is your year! Yep- it's time for YOU!
Life is going to be Divine in 2009. Just you watch and see...

2008 is history... and 2009 still a mystery!


The beginning of a new year is always a great time to reflect on where you are in life.


To ask yourself a couple of questions, "Am I where I really want to be"? "Am I doing what I really want to be doing"? "What can I do to get myself on track; to have a true daily purpose"?


It is a great time to set some new goals: however, it is also a time where people give up early! When setting goals for anything we need to be passionate about them; we need to believe in ourselves, and our ability to manifest them; we need to be able to visualize them actually happening; we also need to write them down as if we are already achieving them! e.g.; "I am living my life on purpose; I am ready for perfect health, wealth and wisdom to flow into my life with ease and joy; and I know and feel that I am worthy of receiving the best in life"! Please note that I have spoken about feeling ready and deserving! Why?


There are three main keys in unlocking the door to creating anything!
Firstly: we must feel ready for whatever it is we are desiring; Secondly: we must feel deserving (worthy) of receiving same; and, Thirdly: we must visualize and feel the results as if they are already with us, and constantly re-affirm to ourselves that they are happening... now!

In going through this process, do your best to make your desires stronger and more persistent than the excuses or bad habits which may try to sabotage you and your results! Do your best to recognize and minimize those obstacles which may present themselves as saboteurs!

And do your best to avoid letting all of this slip behind into the busy-ness of life as the year progresses; and therefore do your best to stay on track and achieve what you deserve to achieve!

Remember this: A positive attitude may not directly change your circumstances, but it will change the way you respond to your circumstances!

Positive people are much more likely than are negative people to turn their ideas into positive behavior. Positive behavior, in turn, does change circumstances, and usually for the better.

To grab hold of a problem and rise above it, first grab hold of a positive thought!

I've got some personal news to share with you all (see below) but I want to leave you with some ways to challenge yourself this year:

This year is my year - it is time for me!
I don't want to conform or comply or feel obligated - I am just being myself!
I am teaching myself (and others) to take risks - rather than living in fear!
I am learning the simplicity of enjoying every breath - 'cos without 'em I'm stuffed!
I have an attitude of gratitude for the simple things I have - like my ability to see!
I am learning to be a walking talking lesson to others - 'cos I'm teaching by example!

A Full Circle???

Hi guys, I am going to talk about something that is completely off the subject I usually talk about on my blog. There is this boy back in High School when I was 16 years old that was my first boyfriend and we couldn't date because my step family wouldn't let me and I was upset and by the time I turned 18 years old I ran away with someone who I ended up marrying to get away from my dysfunctional step family. Through out 38 years of my life I have married twice, have two grown children and two young grand children. I did not always have a good choice of husbands and boyfriend during that time frame due to my up bringing from my step mom etc. I really didn't have a have good and happy childhood but a have survived and love my life now and very grateful for what I do have, etc.

About a week ago I had decided give up on dating and trying to meet guys to have a relationship with and one day get married so I had canceled one of my dating site I belonged to and the other will be canceled in March 2009. I figure if it is meant for me to be single for the rest of my life well then I better learn to adjust to it. My last relationship of 11 years really took it toll on me and how can you forget someone you have gone through so much with?? Will getting in another relationship help me forget? I know I could find love again and I have to learn it just takes time and give it a chance and you will be fine.

For some reason out of the blue I decided to join Classmates.com and heck it was a special for three months of 15.00. So I decided to see who all was on that were my former classmates from Pennsbury High School. I came across a name, John Fortino and I am like wait a minute is this the first boyfriend from High School so I emailed him. Well sure enough it was. Ever since then we have been emailing back and forth and also have spoke on the phone a couple of times. He lives in Pampa, TX. Even got two of my old girlfriend's info and have emailed them.

So could this John be my full circle? I know if we go slowly in time the pain from my ex will go away. Hopefully he cares enough to give me the time and take it slow etc. You know 38 years is 38 years. Our lives sure have paralleled over 38 years and I do care for him as a person. One thing I do know that even if nothing come of it we will be great friends! That is a neat feeling to have! Isn't the below poem by John cool! He is creative in his writing.

Poem - Things to Remember by John Fortino

If I climbed a mountain in spring time, and looked down in the valley at all of natures glory, as a warm breeze brushed past my face, I would remember all of the beauty I see in you. And the breath of fresh air you have given my life. Ah,
yes, I remember you!

If I woke up in the morning, to birds singing outside my window, I would remember all of the times, you sang your beautiful songs to me in that sweet voice of yours. Ah yes, I do remember!

If I were to go to the zoo, and see the cage with chattering monkeys, I would remember all of the great times we had talking and playing around, and all the laughter we had shared. But yes, I do remember!

And when I stare into the sky, and look at all of the stars, I would remember that twinkle in your eyes that seemed to brighten when you were being mischievous, or looking up at me, in my arms, with love. Ah yes, I remember, I remember you!

John Fortino

TWO DIFFERENT PATHS TO GOD, MONEY, and HAPPINESS by Robert Kiyosaki and his sister, Emi Kiyosaki

Robert Kiyosaki and his sister Emi have written a book together. That may not sound so unusual until you realize one is a multi-millionaire and the other a Buddhist nun. Both openly and honestly share personal, and often intimate, details about their journey to find inner faith and financial peace.

Written almost as a journal of self-discovery Rich Brother Rich Sister by Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad Poor Dad) and his sister Emi Kiyosaki chronicles the years spent trying to build a life in balance and harmony with their personal and professional values and beliefs. Both siblings, on seemingly different career and life paths, were actually searching for the same thing - a higher spiritual purpose.

Robert the Vietnam warrior and Emi the peace activist, as opposite as they may seem are in fact more alike than they are different. Their parents instilled within them a sense of giving back. Robert's mission evolved into teaching others how to make their way in the world by building self-sufficiency and financial freedom. Emi's life became devoted to the teaching of Buddhism and working along side His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Rich Brother Rich Sister chronicles a soul-searching inner journey of two siblings looking to find their professional, personal and spiritual place in the world.

The two paths became one when Emi became ill and needed medical attention. Concentrating time and effort on her faith and not on making money, Emi found herself in need of financial help from Robert. Robert concentrating time and effort on being a successful entrepreneur found a need to cultivate a more gentle spiritual side. Together the siblings helped and supported one another in discovering greater inner peace, purpose and spirituality.

Robert's role as the older brother was to support Emi and her Buddhist beliefs while teaching her how to become more financially self-sufficient. Emi's role was to help soften Robert's rough edges and help open his heart to his own deep-seeded spirituality. As Robert put it, "I found more gentleness within myself while talking with my sister."

You may want to classify this book as self-development but I would recommend you also look at Rich Brother Rich Sister as about financial abundance and finding true personal and professional purpose. Together, Robert and Emi Kiyosaki share an intimate and personal look at how they were able to bring out the "rich" person not only within themselves but also within each other.

Dogged Determination

Grab hold of that bone and never let it go!


"Get a good idea and stay with it. Dog it, and work it until it's done and done right."

- Walt Disney


Have you ever witnessed a dog with a bone? No matter how hard you try to wrench it out of that pooch's mouth, she won't let go. As a matter of fact, the more you attempt to take the bone away, the deeper the dog will sink her teeth in. That is sheer, dogged determination, a quality that is absolutely required if you want to achieve any goal, no matter how large or small-that is, regardless of the size of the bone.


The late Maurice Richard was a dog with a bone when it came to pursuing his dream of playing hockey. It was very clear what he wanted to do with his life early on, even though he incurred a large number of injuries at a young age. While he was ultimately accepted to play with the Montreal Canadiens, very early in his career he was labelled a "frail" player. He was also challenged by a lack of support from those around him, except for his devoted wife. Maurice's passion for the sport took him past these obstacles, however, and led him to a record-breaking career of more than 20 years. He had a bone and would not let go!


When you know what you want, and you have no doubt that you want it, you need to become just like Maurice Richard. Clench your teeth firmly on your bone and don't let it go. Be determined not to allow anyone or anything to take it from you.


Many circumstances can make it difficult to hold on, such as health challenges or your own doubts and fears. Other people, even well-meaning loved ones, may also try to yank that bone away from you. When you face these obstacles, you just need to turn up the volume on your determination and feel the passion of your desire, the force that will propel you toward your goals.


While being determined is crucial, it's also important to open yourself up to receive new ideas and expand your thinking. You must be ready to let go of those limiting thoughts that feature the words should and ought to, such as, I should be realistic and not make such a lofty goal for myself, or I ought to do what the people I love want me to do instead of pursuing my own passion. Go for what you really want!


Challenge yourself to scratch out a new path and chase your dream, but be careful of the route you take. Be willing to explore new paths; after all, if you travel the same route that you've been taking thus far, you'll end up at the same destination. Is that where you long to go?
