<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi folks</p>
<p>I have a busy day ahead and I decided to post early for fun - who knows what state I'll be when today is finished.</p>
<p>For those in the know - I had the nerve (<a href="http://www.thenerve.tv">www.thenerve.tv</a>) to post a few ideas in the forum for your considerations - striving to keep the creativity boiling - I actually think that there is very good potential in some of the ideas - remember where they came from...</p>
<p>Well must get these things tested and packed - get mum up and ready - get out and get going (will probably not get near the gym 'AGAIN' today)</p>
<p>Such is life as they say..</p>
<p>keep looking in and giving your support</p>
<p>Jimmy</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If there was a drug to instil motivation, I'd take it.</p>
<p>The ambition, the inspiration, the "want", the "need". I've got that. I know where I want to go. I know how to get there. It's moving in the necessary direction that's hard.</p>
<p>OK, I'll admit. I don't do too badly. I probably do better than most people out there - which isn't saying much since most people are hella lazy. At least I'm heading in the right direction and know where I'm going.</p>
<p>The problem with motivation is that it's temporary. You need to take advantage of it while you have it. Motivation is good now, but it's routine that gets you where you need to be. There are no montages in life. You can't just pass the months away to a Mötley Crüe classic while your muscles or knowledge grow to their necessary sizes - and sadly, in this "gimme everything now" time we live in, most people would probably choose that option if it was given.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The other problem with motivation is that it's never the same thing that gets you going. What works one day isn't necessarily going to work the next day. You've always got to be on the lookout for new tricks.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">One trick I used to have was watching the training montage from any of the Rocky movies before working out. They only go for a few minutes and they worked great. I'm not sure how it is for females, but due to the high testosterone of males, all you have to do is start thinking about people fighting and your blood starts pumping.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/bu00RiPjaa4'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/bu00RiPjaa4&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Then I discovered Nike commercials.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/GX_5tzwVz3I'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/GX_5tzwVz3I&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Of course these are great for exercise, but the harder things in life aren't about exercise. It's about getting your ass out of your seat and getting your assignments done on time, getting your book written or cleaning the God damn house already!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">These kinds of obstacles need totally different motivators, which can be found in the oddest of places.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">You need to figure out what it is that motivates you so that you can turn it on and off at the flick of a switch. If it's the fear of failure, then so be it.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I've never liked the idea of living every day as if it was your last. It's stupid because nobody does it. If you really did live every day like it was your last, you'd be living very destructively and you wouldn't be focusing on the long-term, where the real satisfaction is at.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Instead I think it's better to plan and to take things one step at a time.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">If you really want to get a fire under your ass, try to remember that feeling you get when you're overdue on something. Your assignment is literally due in a few hours and you're <em>way</em> behind, or your new girlfriends' parents are coming around for dinner in thirty minutes and you <em>still</em> haven't cleaned the house.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">You get a particular rush of adrenaline then, and suddenly you start moving. So many people live like this, leaving everything to the last minute. Literally running out of time.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">So just imagine your life is running out of time - because it is. It's hard to do, but it's possible - just don't do the "live life like its your last day" thing. Plan steps meticulously, and plan for your plans to fail. Your life, quite literally, is running out of time. And no one has ever proved that you get another shot.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Are you going to turn around at the end of your life having wished you could try again?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I've said it before. Regret from inaction is far more common than regret from action. So hurry up and make some frigging mistakes.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Den här veckan har rullat på riktigt bra hälsomässigt. Det blir liksom en god spiral - man märker resultat och då är man ju mindre frestad att snedstega.</p>
<p>Jag har hittills rört på mig <em>varenda</em> dag - en mix av spinn, sim, och promenader hem från jobbet (de tar ju ca 60 min).</p>
<p>Jag har ätit en enda chokladboll (skulle ju sluta med fika) och en enda liten portionsbit mörk choklad (och sluta med godis). När vi hade vår eftermiddagskonferens och jag alltid brukar ha blodsockerfall och trycka i mig kex och kakor, då hade jag nu grundat med massa goda vindruvor. Heja heja! Det har nu till och med kommit till det här stadiet att jag inte är sugen så ofta längre. Sötsuget har släppt.</p>
<p>Igår råkade jag iofs trilla dit och äta hamburgare med hela klabbet (pommes frites) till middag... men vaffan, det är ju ingen fanatisk bantning här. Jag åt och blev mätt och så var det bra med det. Idag blir det ingen burgare.</p>
<p>Allt som allt, utan att ha vägt mig, så känner jag mig smalare och piggare och fräschare. Bara att köra på!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h6>Originally posted on September 4, 2008 at <a href="http://www.200by40.com/" target="_blank">200by40</a>, Weight Loss the Right Way: No pills, no surgeries, no excuses, no regrets.

<p>It's time to bid a fond farewell to yet another t-shirt size that has dominate my life over the years: XL.</p>
<p>Yes, like the 2XL size before it and my size 40-48 pants, the XL shirt has finally gone the way of the dinosaur. Ann picked up at least three L shirts for me the other day and I'm happy to report that all of them fit and fit well. I'm sure they might be a bit snug once they are washed but for now, I'm reveling in my victory!</p>
<p>On the progress front, I seem to have hit a dormant phase but that's okay because I think I know the reason why: my quest to drop those last few pesky pounds by my vacation in October is starting to take its toll.</p>
<p>It seems to me that this same thing happened the last time I put a strict limit on things, back when I was still averaging 3 lbs. lost per week. By that account, I should have been at my goal by July 29th, but here I am and I'm still not there yet. Even before July 29th rolled around I noticed that things weren't going as smoothly and I blamed that on my expedited deadline, not my original one of February 14, 2009. So I scratched it off my calendar and forgot about it.</p>
<p>Miraculously, I began to lose more weight. Go figure.</p>
<p>It's taken me well over 2 years to drop the 90+ lbs. I have, so it seems silly to push deadlines in order to reach my goal earlier than anticipated. I've learned that the only thing it leads to is overeating, disappointment in your progress, and falling into old habits.</p>
<p>While I'd love to lose these last 6 lbs. before October 7th or so, I'm going to forget about that date and keep on doing what I've been doing for the last couple of years.</p>
<p>I'll post what happened between now and the next Weekly Weigh-In. It should be interesting!</p>
<p>As far as exercising goes, last night I was just dead tired and failed to do my nightly Wii Fit. I went to bed at 10 p.m., the earliest I've gone to bed in what seems like an eternity.</p>
<p>Sometimes you just have to.</p>

<description><![CDATA[betapa istimewanya seorang wanita bagiku, bagimu, bagikau, bagidirimu, bagi-siapapun, tapi yang jela]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>betapa istimewanya seorang wanita bagiku, bagimu, bagikau, bagidirimu, bagi-siapapun, tapi yang jelas bukan bagigur... :mrgreen: karena bagigur adalah makanan kesukaan anak2 muda JOGJA :mrgreen:.  Wanita pun begitu istimewa didalam islam, namun tak semua wanita mengerti betapa istimewanya mereka, betapa dimuliakannya mereka, betapa disayangnya mereka, dan betapa mereka dijaga dengan syariat-Nya yang sempurna... bacalah dengan hati, dengan seksama, renungi betapa indahnya islam, betapa islam menjaga kehormatan seorang wanita, dan betapa islam melindungi seorang wanita...</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>terkadang kita sering sekali melihat kaum feminis bilang bahwa mereka susah sekali menjadi wanita muslimah, karena mereka melihat banyaknya peraturan seperti ini:</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">1. Wanita auratnya lebih susah dijaga dan juga lebih banyak dibanding seorang laki-laki.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">2. Wanita perlu minta izin dari suaminya apabila maukeluar rumah, akan tetapi tidak sebaliknya!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">3. Wanita saksinya kurang berbanding laki-laki.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">4. Wanita menerima warisan lebih sedikit daripada laki-laki.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">5. Wanita perlu menghadapi kesusahan mengandungdan melahirkan anak.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">6. Wanita wajib taat kepada suaminya, sementara suami tak perlu taat kepada istrinya.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">7. Talak terletak di tangan suami, bukan istri.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">8. Wanita kurang dalam beribadah karena adanya masalah haid dan nifas yang tak ada pada laki-laki.</span></p>
<p>Itulah sebabnya mereka tidak henti-hentinya berpromosi untuk memerdekakan wanita... tapi apakah mereka pernah sedikit mencoba untuk mengerti apa alasan-alasan dibalik ini semua? pernahkah mereka mencoba untuk memahami ini semua? ataukah mereka tak mau bahkan tak peduli terhadap diri mereka? <span style="color:#008000;">wanita itu sebenarnya begitu istimewa...</span></p>
<p>Cobalah sekarang kita lihat sebaliknya., pernahkah kita memikirkannya?</p>
<p><span style="color:#008000;">1. Benda yang mahal harganya akan dijaga dan dibelai serta disimpan di tempat yang teraman dan terbaik. Sudah pasti intan permata tak akan dibiarkan terserak bukan? itulah perbandingannya dengan seorang wanita... wanita begitu berharga...</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#008000;">2. Wanita perlu taat kepada suami, tetapi tahukah lelaki wajib taat kepada ibunya 3 kali lebih utama daripada kepada ayahnya?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#008000;">3. Wanita menerima warisan lebih sedikit daripada lelaki, tetapi tahukah? harta itu menjadi milik pribadinya dan tidak perlu diserahkan kepada suaminya, sementara apabila lelaki menerima warisan, ia perlu/wajib juga menggunakan hartanya untuk istri dan anak-anaknya!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#008000;">4. Wanita perlu bersusah payah menhandung dan melahirkan anak, tetapi tahukah bahwa dia didoakan oleh segala makhluq, malaikat dan seluruh makhluq Allah di muka bumi ini, dan tahukah? jika ia mati karena melahirkan ini adalah SYAHID dan SURGA menantinya.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#008000;">5. Di akhirat kelak, seorang lelaki akan mempertanggung jawabkan terhadap empat (4) wanita, yaitu: istrinya, ibunya, anak perempuannya dan saudara perempuannya. Artinya, bagi seorang wanita, tanggungjawab terhadapnya ditanggung oleh empat (4) lelaki, yaitu: suaminya, ayahnya, anak lelakinya dan saudara lelakinya!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#008000;">6. Seorang wanita boleh memasuki pintu surga melalui pintu surga manapun yang ia sukai cukup dengan empat syarat saja, yaitu sholat 5 waktu, puasa di bulan Ramadhan, taat kepada suaminya, dan menjaga kehormatannya.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#008000;">7. Seorang lelaki wajib berjihad fi sabilillah sementara bagi wanita jika taat akan suaminya serta menunaikan tanggungjawabnya kepada Allah, maka ia akan turut menerima pahala setara seperti pahala orang pergi jihad fi sabilillah tanpa perlu mengangkat senjata.</span></p>
<p>Subhanallah... begitu sempurna-Nya syariatnya, mengertilah, dan pahamilah...</p>

<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m an &#8220;expert&#8221; columnist for Customer Advantage Newsletter and ever few weeks or ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I'm an "expert" columnist for Customer Advantage Newsletter and ever few weeks or months they send me questions which I answer. I almost always forget to publish those Q &#38; A's and so today with my new eyes on potential blog posts I answered one of their questions and then before filing it away said "Yippee! A blog post!" So here we go.</p>
<p>The question: <span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&#34;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">Customer demand is rising, but we can't add more people to Service. So<br />
we have to do more with less. What's a good way to approach this<br />
situation?</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&#34;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">My answer: <span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;">The first thing you need to know is that you are not alone. Companies everywhere are asking people to do more with less. The second thing you need to know is that times like this give us the opportunity to show how good we really are. I believe that most of us have the ability to do a little better every day. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;">The way you frame the situation is important. You must come at it believing that every one on your team is smart, creative, talented and has something to contribute. </span></p>
<p class="blackmed" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&#34;">In order to bring out the brilliance in everyone in your organization, you must believe this (or ‘act as if’ you do until you realize it’s true). In holding open the possibility that people will shine they usually do. People live up (or down) to our expectations of them. If we expect and empower them to be competent, creative, innovative problem solvers who create exquisite experiences for customers, they’re more likely to do so.<span>  </span></span></p>
<p class="blackmed" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&#34;"> </span></p>
<p class="blackmed" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&#34;">Once you hold this as true it’s time you give people the chance to help. In a meeting, start with the truth. </span></p>
<p class="blackmed" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&#34;"> </span></p>
<p class="blackmed" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&#34;">“I know we would all like it if we had more resources, but we don’t and in the short term, won’t. We can’t do anything about that but what we CAN do is start getting really creative around here and find ways to work around the reality we’re faced with. I believe this team has the talent and ingenuity it takes to come up with solutions to even our toughest challenges. Let’s brainstorm some ideas together and get started.” </span></p>
<p class="blackmed" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&#34;"> </span></p>
<p class="blackmed" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&#34;">Set aside real time for brainstorming (no judgments, no idea-killer phrases, set amount of time where anything goes.) Get people limbered up with some silly challenges “52 ways you can use a teabag” and when they are loose and laughing introduce your real challenges. </span></p>
<p class="blackmed" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&#34;"> </span></p>
<p class="blackmed" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&#34;">Try using analogy “If this were a zoo (a garden, a circus etc.) how would we look at it?” </span></p>
<p class="blackmed" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&#34;"> </span></p>
<p class="blackmed" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&#34;">Convince yourself and your team that you have the creative potential to discover solutions for any problems and you will. A hint – little rewards, like mini candy bars, stress toys and kazoos always make creative sessions more fun. Once people are in the habit of being more solutions focused you reinforce it when ever you see it. “Jill, I am always so amazed by the way you come up with out of the box solutions that make our customers happy. Great work.” </span></p>
<p class="blackmed" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&#34;"> </span></p>
<p class="blackmed" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&#34;">You might even want to have a once a month celebration for the most workable solutions. Even in the most severe of situations there’s always enough for movie tickets and popcorn rewards. </span></p>
<p class="blackmed" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&#34;"> </span></p>
<p class="blackmed" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&#34;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;"><font face="Calibri"> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br />
<blockquote><p>Baru dapat email dari teman dan isinya sangat menyentuh</p></blockquote>
<p>Pacaran itu suatu hal yang mengesankan dan ‘harus dipertahankan’ jika memang udah sepadan. Seperti kata kata berikut:</p>
<p>Cinta tak pernah akan begitu indah, jika tanpa persahabatan…..yang satu selalu menjadi penyebab yang lain dan prosesnya… adalah irreversible……</p>
<p><!--more-->Seorang pecinta yang terbaik adalah sahabat yang terhebat. Jika kamu mencintai seseorang, jangan berharap bahwa seseorang itu akan mencintai kamu persis sebaliknya dalam kapasitas yang sama. Satu diantara kalian akan memberikan lebih, yang lain akan dirasa kurang………..Begitu juga dalam cinta: kamu yang mencari, dan yang lain akan menanti……</p>
<p>Jangan pernah takut untuk jatuh cinta…. mungkin akan begitu menyakitkan, dan mungkin akan menyebabkan kamu sakit dan menderita…..tapi jika kamu tidak mengikuti kata hati, pada akhirnya kamu akan menangis……. jauh lebih pedih… karena saat itu kamu menyadari bahwa kamu tidak pernah memberi cinta itu sebuah jalan.</p>
<p>Cinta bukan sekedar perasaan, tapi sebuah komitmen….Perasaan bisa datang dan pergi begitu saja……Cinta tak harus berakhir bahagia…..karena cinta tidak harus berakhir…..</p>
<p>Cinta sejati mendengar apa yang tidak dikatakan….dan mengerti apa yang tidak dijelaskan, sebab cinta tidak datang dari bibir dan lidah atau pikiran………melainkan dari HATI.</p>
<p>Ketika kamu mencintai, jangan mengharapkan apapun sebagai imbalan, karena jika kamu demikian, kamu bukan mencintai, melainkan…..investasi.</p>
<p>Jika kamu mencintai, kamu harus siap untuk menerima penderitaan. Karena jika kamu mengharap kebahagiaan, kamu bukan mencintai….melainkan memanfaatkan.</p>
<p>Lebih baik kehilangan harga diri dan egomu bersama seseorang yang kamu cintai dari pada kehilangan seseorang yang kamu cintai, karena egomu yang tak berguna itu……..</p>
<p>Jangan mencintai seseorang seperti bunga,karena bunga mati kala musim berganti, cintailah mereka seperti sungai, sebab sungai mengalir selamanya……</p>
<p>Cinta mungkin akan meninggalkan hatimu bagaikan kepingan-kepingan kaca, tapi tancapkan dalam pikiranmu, bahwa Ada seseorang yang akan bersedia untuk menambal lukamu dengan mengumpulkan kembali pecahan-pecahan kaca itu…..Sehingga kamu akan menjadi utuh kembali.</p>
<p>Berjuanglah hingga dapat cinta sejati….!!!!!!</p>
<p><em>NB: Thanks Mel atas emailmu ini :)</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today we had our “hired gun” come to fix a computer problem at work.  Last week I was asked by someone to look at the problem, but later was told not to work on the  the computers or network because we pay a monthly fee to a local firm and would like to have them do the work.   The monthly fee includes remote service, but any on site calls are billed separately.  The cease and desist order came after I had diagnosed the problem.  The PC would not boot, so I informed the General Manager that a service call would take place since remote repair is only feasible when booted into Windows.  I also told him that I believe the computer may have some bad sectors on the hard drive, but if so that would take only an hour or two to fix.  Well this morning (six days later) the computer specialist came to our rescue.  After minimal investigation he informed us that the hard drive was bad.  He took the PC to his office and is going to install a new hard drive and reinstall all the software.  We took his word, and will pay to have this done.  I still believe the problem could have been resolved last week at no extra cost to our company.  I guess if I charged them, they'd listen.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">That brings me to discuss the “progress” of the computer service business that I am in the process of starting.  It has been a week since I posted fliers around town.  I didn't expect to get much response from these, and as of now I haven't had any calls.  I figured that if I received any business at all from this, it would be a bonus.  Since then I have designed business cards that I will ask friends and family to help circulate.  I registered a domain and will be starting on the website as soon as I find a host.  Hopefully this won't take very long. Although I don't feel that a website is critical at this juncture, it does help validate what I am doing.  I live in a small town and am sure that word of mouth is my best friend.  Once I get business I am sure that word will spread because  I know that I can do the work, and I won't be unethical.  An ethical businessman, is that an oxymoron?</p>

<description><![CDATA[Fresh From Paris France
Hello Dear Readers,
Fresh from my trip to Paris France- gives me an opportun]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fresh From Paris France</p>
<p>Hello Dear Readers,</p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">Fresh from my trip to Paris France- gives me an opportunity to reflect and think. Paris is an incredible city, full of intrigue and adventure. From the beautiful Musee du Louvre, to the awesome St. Michel Norte Dam, to dinner atop the stunning Eiffel Tower, It is a trip I’ll always remember. Leaving the famous Arc De Triomphe and strolling down Paris famous blvd. Champs Elysees made me reflect on success in general.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">So I stopped to pin a new article entitle 7 Success Secrets I’d Tell The Younger Me. Over the next several post I’ll list them for you. Here is the first:</span></p>
<p style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Turn a Deaf Ear to the Naysayer:</span></strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> <span> </span>The first lesson you must learn is everyone have their own opinion of success. However, resist the urge to listen because opinions change on a daily basis. Get a plan of your own. Define what it is you want to achieve in life and write it down. After writing it down, study it profusely. Don’t worry how it’ll be accomplished, just get clear on exactly what it is you want out of life. <strong></strong></span></p>
<p style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></strong></p>
<p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Looking back, so many times in my young career, when I was right on target with my plans and goals, I made a fatal mistake over and over again. I either told people who could not possible understand my drive to succeed, or just didn’t want to see me succeed. They told me my dreams were impossible. Do you want to succeed far beyond your wildest imaginations? Then turn off negative people like a water faucet, be they family member, church member, or co-workers.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Your ability to bounce back and succeed will be governed to a great extent by what and who you listen to. Run from those who say “you can’t, or you won’t.” Napoleon Hill wrote in “Think &#38; Grow Rich” to keep your own counsel and take no one into your confidence except a select few (and I mean very few) who are moving in the same direction you are moving. If you want to win big- keep your mouth shut. I had a friend who used to say “do it- then talk about it.” The sooner you learn this lesson- they sooner you will succeed.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">While taking in the sights of Paris, France I couldn’t help but think of all those nagaholics I’d encounter throughout my life. No doubt they would have asked “how is a person like you, coming from where you come from, looking like you look, going to pull off going to Paris, France. Well since I did it first- then talked about it, I pictured myself say to the “how you like me now.” </span></p>
<p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Until next time- Dr. Cubie saying MAKE YOUR DREAMS KING!<strong></strong></span></p>
<p style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;"><span> </span></span></p>

<description><![CDATA[Have you ever sat with a tree and really sat with it??? have you ever just wondered how such a magni]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever sat with a tree and really sat with it??? have you ever just wondered how such a magnificent and grandiose example of success and abundance has come to be over so many years??? Today I did that and reveled in the idea that maybe our trees have some truth to show us about what it takes to thrive and to blossom in life...</p>
<p>This afternoon as I sat on the last rock of Manhattan enjoying a beautiful sunny day with the breeze flowing, the river water rippling in my direction, ducks floating on the lake, trees swaying, leaves existing on tree branches so beautiful and free... I realized how simple nature is, how beautiful our natural environment is and how ABSOLUTELY EFFORTLESS the existence of our trees appears to be... just how EFFORTLESS a bird glides in the wind, how EFFORTLESS the river moves in its organic flow, how absolutely effortless our trees stand in perfection... at that moment I thought "wow! there might be something we can learn from our natural friends around the true nature of success and abundance... the underlying truth to experiencing inner peace and joy while on planet earth... our natural friends sure seem to have SOMETHING figured out..."</p>
<p>Everything flows so beautifully and naturally in nature, there's seems to be such a divine order to our world and yet sometimes, as human beings, we choose to struggle when our natural source is one of love, one of light, one of beauty and one of pure positive goodness... it just dawned on me today just how EFFORTLESS life can be...  I felt so much lighter and freer and livelier after my lesson in the park today and feel an immense sense of gratitude for this lesson in effortless living...</p>
<p>I always feel so inspired just being in the presence of nature... I have to say that trees are one of my greatest mentors because they teach through the clarity of their example: they are so powerful, so vibrant, so alive... they are totally calm, completely peaceful, absolutely beautiful and in a total state of inner tranquility and absolute thrivingness... they always look so happy, so settled in who they are, so content with their current situation, so rooted in their own greatness... it feels like we can learn something from our tress... they always seem to be enjoying every ounce of sunlight that is bestowed upon them, every movement of the wind, every ounce of water that falls on their footsteps... they appear to welcome any interaction with other human friends... they are so present in their moments, they are so present with who they, they probably totally know their immense value to our planet and therefore give themselves permission to express their greatness every moment of their lives... what if we took one ounce of that and lived from such a place of beauty and expression in our own lives?</p>
<p>I certainly choose to be more deliberate in my approach to my every moment taking our trees as wonderful guides and teachers after this awesome lesson in the park today...</p>
<p>Our trees are some of the most peaceful living beings on the planet and seem to exist and thrive so effortlessly... might there be something to learn about human nature and the nature of thriving by admiring our trees and other natural beings??? I certainly think so I totally encourage anyone who is interested in inner peace and guidance to spend some time just being around trees... be with them, admire them, feel their power and see what comes up for you!</p>
<p>Happy Natural Living! :)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well there I was in my favourite location - and the PM (Mr Brown) walked in, he almost had a chance to meet me, if he had thenerve to walk into the bar &#38; lounge - there I was busy networking and passing goods onto the corporate trainer - then disaster - I had forgotten to pack the support sleeve for the upright - the products would be unstable without it</p>
<p>I looked incompetent - and I also felt it. therefore folks, learn from this mistake - always plan and check - always ensure that all is there and don't be in too big a hurry to please - you will probably forget something - just as I did</p>
<p>I have had to reschedule delivery - and I almost forgot that I have a prior diary appointment taking mum to hospital - what a crazy life</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Derek Trotter lived in a council flat situated in a high rise building in Peckham, South London. He lived with his younger brother Rodney, and their granddad. Derek was what is affectionately known as a “cockney wide boy”. He was a self confident, self assured guy who wore long mohair coats, dangled gold around his neck and wrists and smoked luxury cigars. He was a street trader, buying and selling goods on the streets and at the markets. Derek was always ready for the next trick to earn another bob or two.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">One day he came up with the idea that money was to be made cleaning diamond chandeliers in grand and stately homes. Having negotiated with his first well-to-do householder, he, Rodney and granddad arrived to dismantle the first chandelier in preparation to clean it. The fixing point for this particular chandelier was a bolt that went through the ceiling joist to the loft above. Granddad, armed with spanners and a hammer, was delegated with the task of undoing the nut and bolt whilst Derek and Rodney stood positioned under the chandelier with a blanket held such that it was ready to catch the chandelier.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">The nut was free from the bolt which just needed a final tap with the hammer to force it through the ceiling joist.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">“Ready?” Granddad shouted through the ceiling.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">“Yeh, ready” Derek shouted back.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Granddad tapped the bolt which obligingly dropped through the ceiling joist, releasing the chandelier. Unfortunately it was the wrong chandelier. A second diamond chandelier came crashing to the floor some eight feet behind Derek and Rodney.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Now I’m sure there are thousands out there who recognise this scene. It was from my favourite episode of what in my opinion was one of the best comedy programmes produced on British Television. Only Fools and Horses.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"><a href="http://www.ofah.net/">www.ofah.net</a>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">I’m sure also that there are many who remember the various catchphrases that came out of that programme too.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">“ Rodney, you plonker” and</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">“Rodney, this time next year we’ll be mil-yon-aires”. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">It may have taken a lot longer than a year to get there, but ardent fans of the programme will remember that indeed they did become millionaires. This by fortunate circumstances which they couldn’t have planned for.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Despite their poverty stricken background, Derek always believed they would be millionaires. He imitated the lifestyle with the clothes he wore and the luxuries in which he indulged himself. He had that self belief and self confidence that one day he would make it, never straying from that dream despite the disasters that seemed to accompany every deal he tried to make.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">In order for us to achieve our dreams, we to must discover that self belief. Self confidence, determination and courage are all part of that belief system that creates personal growth. Human potential has no bounds. We can be who we want to be if we truly believe that we can achieve our dreams. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Instead of saying</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">“You plonker Rodney” let’s start believing that</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">“This time next year we’ll be mil-yon-aires”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">For those who delighted in watching Only Fools and Horses, feel free to comment, adding your personal favourite episode.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[[caption id="" align="alignright" width="236" caption="Bubbles are better than boxes."]<img src="http://www.thesmilewizard.com/images_newsletter3/blowing%20gum2.gif" alt="Bubbles are better than boxes." width="236" height="183" />[/caption]
<p>I'm a creature of habit. What this means is I usually opt for convenience and routine over bouts of spontaneity, but yesterday the stingy pragmatist in me rose up from the ranks and decided to have her say.</p>
<p>As luck would have it, the planets were aligned because just as the cheaper-than-yo mama in me emerged so did the fearless, driven risk-taker. The result? A rather extensive art project.</p>
<p>Ok, so perhaps "extensive" is an exaggeration of sorts. For months, I've been meaning to frame two of my brother-in-law's paintings. It's a task that's been haunting and nagging on me to the point that one of the paintings has been rolled up a tube in the trunk of my car for at least 6 months now. My obstinance is blinding at times. And did I mention counter-productive?</p>
<p>So with my two paintings, one rolled up to the point of no hope of ever reclaiming its straightness, I walked into the custom framing shop, with every intention of just picking out a suitable frame, dropping off the paintings and getting back to some of my "pro-bono" writing assignments.<em> They are pro-bono in much the same way, I'm "between gigs" at the moment...</em></p>
<p>Only when the lady behind the counter started estimating the cost of the paintings if the store framed it versus me framing it in the shop myself and telling me how easy it was to frame it myself, I got to thinking that maybe I might try my hand at it. Sure, I'd never framed a painting before, but I'd put a photograph in a pre-assembled frame so how much harder could this be? Also, despite all my protests, I didn't have anywhere I really needed to be.</p>
<p>So off I went to make art. Thankfully one of the dudes who worked there guided me through my first painting. I was also working with metal and I was told metal was "idiot-proof," but the litmus test (according to the store's owner) for my imminent success as a framer was whether or not<em> I could chew gum and walk at the same time</em>. Or so he said. Since I could chew gum and talk at the same time, I figured I was adept enough at multi-tasking to take this on, only when I turned to him, I replied, "Is it really idiot-proof?"</p>
<p>I knew the helpful dude was only a shout away if I needed assitance on the second painting. Only I didn't. I mean I did here and there. And while I futzed around a bit cause I don't always retain info as well as I'd like the first time around, and I sweated in the hot studio, when I was done with the second painting I'd felt like I actually done good work and was filled with pride and accomplishment.</p>
<p>It wasn't so much that now I had two beautifully framed paintings. It was because I'd put myself in an unfamilar situation where I inevitably set myself up to fail at something, only to succeed in spite of all my angst and concerns.</p>
<p>When I left the shop, the store's owner turned to me carrying the two paintings and attempting to open the door and chew gum and walk at the same time and said, "You sure you can carry the paintings and open the door at the same time?" And I smiled back ruefully replying, "Sure can, sir."</p>
<p>When I got home I was able to harness this fearless energy into creating what I consider pretty damn spanking good copy. All because I opted for a diversion in my day and sought out the road less taken (at least by me, that is). And maybe, just maybe the next time I'm ready to jump the gun and say, "No, I can't" to something different maybe I'll think twice.</p>
<p>There has to be a lesson learned, after all...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 -1.1pt 0 0;"><span style="color:black;" lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">I’ve reflected a lot on the reason that many people - indeed too many people, don’t want to succeed. Could it be fear - fear of success? Might it be not having the courage to follow your dreams or what you know is the right way? Many question marks remain, but in my world it’s absurd that there should even be questions or fears on this subject. </span></span></span></p>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">So how can it be that adults are afraid to succeed? Well, because they’re afraid of change. This will go against everything that they and their surroundings have set as a standard for how they should be and how they should behave. All this is very inconvenient. But try to imagine what it would be like to really do and achieve what you most want in life (provided, of course, you know what it is!) </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 -1.1pt 0 0;"><span style="color:black;" lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 -1.1pt 0 0;"><span style="color:black;" lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Perhaps you’ll be energised by your dream, but after a while you’ll start to think about what happens if those dreams are fulfilled - what then? What about my life? How will this or that react then? </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 -1.1pt 0 0;"><span style="color:black;" lang="EN-GB"><br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Another possibility is that you imagine you won’t succeed, so you ask yourself why you should try, after all, you only feel a fool when everyone sees you’ve failed!</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 -1.1pt 0 0;"><span style="color:black;" lang="EN-GB"><br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">The gist of this is that when there’s an enormous fear of being successful, you run the risk of being a failure!</span></span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Skall du kunna få ut så maximalt som möjligt av din resa inom personlig utveckling, så är det<span>  </span>viktigt att ha kännedom om principerna I the law of attraction.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Det kan kort beskrivas som att det du <span style="text-decoration:underline;">verkligen </span>vill eller vill ha, kan du få genom att attrahera det till dig. Detta gäller såväl positiva som negativa saker eller händelser. Om du t.ex förväntar dig att nu när det blir höst eller när det blir vår, så kommer jag att bli förkyld för det brukar jag bli, då kommer du garanterat att bli det. Det är just därför du ”alltid har varit det” för du hade förväntat dig det. Detta kan gälla många olika tillstånd som du attraherar till dig genom din tanke och dina förväntningar.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Samma sak gäller så klart på samma vis för positiva saker eller situationer, jag förväntar mig t.ex aldrig att bli förkyld bara för att någon i min närhet är det och jag är mycket sällan förkyld.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Jag kommer framöver att komma mycket djupare in i detta otroligt intressanta fenomen och då mycket med hjälp av min gode vän James Kilgariffs studier och hans och mina egna erfarenheter. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Det såklart upp till dig själv vad du tycker om denna lag, men jag anser att det är bra att veta om att den praktiseras av personer idag. Hade fler gjort det, kanske det funnits fler människor som var nöjda med sitt liv?</span></span></p>
