Howdy Folks and Good Day!


Welcome to 2007!  I hope your year is getting off to  a wonderful start already.


It’s an exciting time in our earth’s history… We’re making medical advances like never before.  In fact, just 2 weeks ago, there was another successful surgery separating conjoined twins.     We’re also coming to a point in time where people are acting out of their hearts, where doing the right thing is valued more and more.   Just ask Wesley Autrey of New York, who jumped onto subway track to save a young man from an on-coming commuter train.  Both successfully survived!


We’re at a time in our world where people are helping people.  Every day folks are getting involved by doing things like visiting The Hunger Site or the Animal Rescue Site where all you have to do is a click a button and a bowl of food will be donated to those in need – without it costing you a cent.  

 

And those folks who have more than most are getting involved in miraculous ways, too.  Just look at Oprah Winfrey who has donated $40 million dollars to build one of what she hopes to be many schools in South Africa that will give impoverished young girls the chance to become the country’s finest leaders.  Oprah says she wants people to know, “You are not your circumstances. You are your possibilities. If you know that, you can do anything.”


I agree with her one hundred percent!  That’s why I’ve been dedicating my life to Sir Froggie’s Positive News Network since 1998.   I know anything is possible. Not necessarily probable, but possible!  I’ve been through the hard times.  I’ve struggled.  I’ve cried.  I’ve made it through circumstances that seemed completely unfair and impossible to overcome. Now I’m living my dream.  We can all live our dreams in one way or another! 


But we must first have the courage to dream. 


Part of finding that courage is believing there is a possibility of making it happen.  It only takes the faith of a mustard seed.  Right now the world is full of fertile soil to plant the mustard seeds of our dreams.  There’s been a major shift in consciousness.   The past few years have been full of turmoil, chaos and storms.  But after the storm comes the calm, the blues skies, the rainbow that leads to the pot of gold.


Folks we are our own pot of gold and our dreams are the rainbow we must follow.


We hear a lot about making new year’s resolutions and setting goals but they mean nothing if we’re not inspired by them.   What inspires you? 


What does your heart and soul long for?  Is something to accomplish?  Is it a quality in yourself you’d like to expand?  Is it something you dreamed of doing as a child or a teen-ager?  What lingers in the back of your heart and mind that says, “Some day I’d like to…”


Close your eyes… Take a deep breath in, filling your lungs completely.  Now let it go. Repeat.  Place your hands on your heart.   Address yourself by name and say, “I send you love.”  Feel your heart and hands heating up.  Continue to breathe and feel the stress melt away.   Address yourself by name again and say, “It is safe to dream.  I am protecting you, your desires, you deepest wishes.  You are safe…”  Breathe deeply and once again send yourself love.  Now let your mind get quiet for a moment.  And say to yourself, “I wish I could….”


Notice the first thing that comes to mind.  Notice the voice of positive yearning. 


If your ego or inner critic kicks in with something discouraging simply respond with, “That’s all right, God’s working on it for me.”


Write down what it is you truly desire.  What would it take to get you from here to there?  Is it possible within the week, the month, the year?  What could you do to start making it happen today?

With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…

4.      Success Strategies   — by Michael Angier

Do You Know the Reasons Why You Don't Achieve More Success?

Michael Angier here with some insights into why most of us aren't more successful.

 

One of the most often-asked questions I get from readers who are considering one of our coaching programs is: "Do I have to already be clear on my goals in order to be in and benefit from your program?"

 

And the answer is "no".

 

The fact is most people who sign up for Diamond Club or Executive Mentoring Council only THINK they have clear goals. They usually find them to be too vague. And they discover that the goals they do have are not their most important goals.

 

So the first thing we do is invest some time and energy in getting very clear on what we want and why. We have several exercises we go through to uncover what we truly want in life. We're looking for exciting goals, fun goals. We want to play games worth playing. And we do.

 

Sadly, 97% of the people in the world wind up at the end of their lives with their goals still locked inside them.

 

Only 3% will ever reach anything close to their full potential in life.

 

Are you one of the 3%?

 

Just being a subscriber sets you apart from the rest.

 

But reading and studying will not make you successful.

 

Elbert Hubbard said: "Many people fail in life, not for lack of ability or brains or even courage but simply because they've never organized their energies around a goal."

 

In order to be successful, you have to be clear, stay focused and consistently take action toward goals that matter.

 

Here are some things I've discovered that keep people from real success:

 

They're not convinced on the value and the process of goal setting.

There are skills to master. There is knowledge that can make your work easier and the pitfalls less painful.

 

Fear of setting goals.
This is really fear of failure. But if you don't set goals, if you don't fail in the process, if you just drift along, you won't grow. Every successful person I've studied has had more failures than unsuccessful people.

 

Lack of confidence in achieving the goals.
If a similar goal has been achieved by someone else, then it can be achieved by you. If it's never been done before, you can be the first to accomplish it. Confidence is learned. You get it by BEING confident and by building on your successes.

 

Not taking the time to get clear.
We're all busy. The question is, are we busy doing the most important things? Oftentimes, the most critical things are not big things. That's why we

must decide what's of the most consequence based on our values, our beliefs, our interests and our abilities.

 

Not writing goals down or committing a plan of action to paper.

Serious goals call for serious action. Your life deserves your best efforts. It sometimes can be hard work. But you don't make your life easier by taking it easy.

 

Not having sufficient support.
This is a big one. I think it's the biggest. Being a lone ranger just isn't very effective.

 

There's no need to go it alone. There's strength in numbers. Get a coach. Form a mastermind team. Be accountable to someone other than yourself.

 

Over a third of all 2007 Diamond Club Members were 2006 members. They're REPEATING the program because they know how valuable the support from a mastermind team is. They don't want just a great year--they want a great decade (or two).

 

Whether you join me and the rest of the champions in Diamond Club this year or not, I want you to have a successful year. I want 2007 to be your best year yet.

 

And I know the best way to assure that is to have the support of a mastermind team and the guidance of a good coach--in this case, me.

 

This is a proven program. It's worked for many others and it will work for you. We'll see that it does.

 

Go to this page. Read it completely. Watch the videos and listen to what others have to say about it. The quality of your life depends on it. It truly does. http://DiamondClub2007.com

 

You may be reluctant to invest money to do what you can actually do on your own, but WILL you? The question isn't how much does it cost, but rather how much would it be worth to achieve your most important goals and dreams?

 

Make it a great day--and a great year--with Diamond Club.

 

Michael,

 

 

PS: The program starts the moment you make the commitment. Something happens when you decide and commit to doing something

of significance.

 

I've always loved this quote from one of Goethe's couplets:

   
 "Whatever you can do, or dream you can . . . begin it.

     Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."

6.      Sir Froggie’s Pondering — from Sir Froggie

COMMIT TO YOUR HIGHEST SELF

Are you happy with yourself and your life?  Are you both satisfied and proud of who you’ve become?  Do you experience peace, love, joy and gratitude throughout your day?

Commit to your highest self!

We hear so much talk about how to help ourselves, improve ourselves and be the best we can be.  It’s so commonplace it almost seems cliché.   But can any of us truly say we’ve reached our highest potential?

That’s not to say we shouldn’t accept ourselves for who we are.  Nor should we strive to be someone we’re not.  And trying to improve for the sake of proving ourselves to anyone (ourselves included) simply doesn’t work.

What does work is committing to our highest self, committing to become our highest self.

We often find it easy to commit to the unimportant… like watching the news or our favorite TV program.  We might commit to a particular route to work or a specific beverage we like to drink.  But are we willing to commit to things such as our health, well being, and spirituality which could help us become better people?

We all experience Divine Guidance.  We all have Divine Purpose.  We wouldn’t be here if we didn’t.  Our life’s mission manifests itself in different ways for different people.  The important thing is to listen to the inner promptings which direct us to become the best possible person we can and to live our best possible life.

For some, this may mean creating huge financial success.  For others, it may be through philanthropy.  Education or the arts might be our calling. Or raising a family. Perhaps the goals we strive for are interior by design… Becoming more appreciative of ourselves and others, learning forgiveness, or giving up the attention we crave to put the spotlight on someone else.  Maybe we want to raise our spiritual consciousness, become more confident or improve our communication skills.  And bringing more love and light into our world is always a worthy mission!

No one can spell out our goals for us; it is up to each of us to tune in, ask for guidance, listen and take action.  When we commit to our highest self, we are guided to the next level… sometimes one step or one goal at a time, sometimes in a no-holds-barred fashion.  We must simply listen and follow the promptings of the soul.

Each one of us has a spark of the Divine within.  We live to bring the Divine to this earth in our own unique and special way.  The higher we raise the quality of our personal being, the more divinity we bring to this planet. 

What does your highest self look like, feel like, sound like?  How close are you to being that person?  What changes can you make to raise yourself up just a little higher?

Commit to your highest self.
