Do you feel that the personal development industry has failed you?
Have you been filled with a desire to lose weight, make a million dollars, or any other goal that can be easily solved (so I am told) by buying a book out of the self-help section of your local bookseller. Have you then been let down when that desire has not been fulfilled?
Are you then told that you failed because you weren’t visualizing hard enough, didn’t have the right attitude, or you didn’t hustle enough?
I have realized that most companies and people that sell personal development products and services have one problem that causes most people to fail. => http://bit.ly/gWLg0S
… George Carlin's Views on Aging
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
"How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key
You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.
"How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life .. . You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!
But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.
But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!
So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.
You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!
You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30 ; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I Was JUST 92."
Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!"
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

Using Mother Teresa's poem Anyway, in conjunction with the song Anyway, by Martina McBride is a perfect depiction of living a life of integrity. We hope this video helps you realize that you are a gift, just by being you.
We can all use more laughter in our lives. Laughter is one of the simple joys of life! Take a few minutes to enjoy the movie, Laughter is an Instant Vacation. This is the perfect way to bring a well deserved break to anyone's day .... laugh, chuckle and take a little stress out of your day.
“Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.”

Have fun sharing the joy of laughter with your team, friends and family.

It is important to do our living in the present moment, not the past or future. Most of us on the spiritual path know this, but still fall into old patterns of thinking. These quotes may be helpful. They are combined with various images from our animal friends and Native American music by Peter Kater and R. Carlos Nakai. Most of the quotes were obtained from Quotegarden.com.
