Every Day Is A Gift


All,

I just heard a statement today that really struck me

EVERY DAY IS A GIFT.


I must be honest and say I've not thought this everyday. Yet if I begin to think it is. What might just happen?

What If, What If


All,

What if it all goes right? What if it all goes your way?

I've noticed that when you think of a goal or a plan. Most people go what if..."IT ALL GOES WRONG". Just suppose for a moment it all goes right? What if you get the house, car, girl and freedom etc.

I challenge you for the next 30 days to begin to think what if it all goes my way. This coupled with my last post is really, really powerful.

Double Up Your Goals


All,

I've been playing around recently with goals. How I love my goals. I've noticed that I've become obsessed, desperate to achieve certain goals. This in itself is detrimental. i.e. this prevents you from achieving your goal. Once you begin to 'let go' or let go of the  need to have your goal. The action towards and achievement of your goal seems to happen much faster and with greater easy. This works really well for physically goals, i.e. house, cars etc.

So think of something that you want in your life.


Now, double it. Whatever it is you want, think of owning two of them. They're yours free and clear. Think of the implications their possession would have on your life. What would your neighbors say? Where would you keep them? What colors would you choose, what dimensions, what characteristics?

Okay, you're about to receive a third one, more than you could possibly use (at the moment), so who would you give it to? How would you tell them? What would their reaction be? Would you be able to help them take ownership? Would you be there to facilitate the transition, if necessary? What would your friends and family say about your generosity? Would you do it again? If so, for whom?

I've found that by doing this very simple idea. I've freed myself of the limitation of having my goal. I mean, getting my goal would be fantastic, but what if I got 2 or 3? That puts a whole different spin on things. All your limits are self imposed. So what if you begin to lift your limts?

Thanks to  TUT for this simple but very effective idea.

Tweetlater - Use if Twitter.com Is Blocked

All,

I liked the idea of Twittermail, yet I had issues and concerns with corporate disclaimers. Certainly since I travel and can use a multitude of email systems and setups. There was no clarification about disclaimers being shown or not on my tweets. So I didn't want to go down that route.

Then magically I found TweetLater. I like this service because :
  1. It is web based
  2. You can schedule 'tweets'
  3. Set up auto responders for others than follow you
  4. So far, no company I've been at has banned the website, yet they may ban twitter.com
