Howdy Folks and Good Day!


Can you believe we’re already into February?  It sure is amazing how quickly the days go by.  And how quickly things change!

Mark and I went for a drive in the rain this weekend.  Rather than sit in the house sulking about the cold gray weather, we ventured down to the beach.  We were amazed at how much of the landscape had become GREEN! 

February is almost magical in Southern California.  While other Northern climates are bogged under with snow and cold, and everything has died back or hibernated, Southern California is just beginning to come alive again.

With two weeks of rain the hillsides have gone from a desolate burned out brown to a bright glowing green!  Pretty soon brilliant yellow flowers will canvas the emerald slopes as mustard blossoms reach for the sun and Cassiopeia dots the mountainsides. 

The weather here is sure to change just as quickly as we change our minds looking at a great dessert menu!  It can be in the 60’s and 70’s during the day, the mid 30’s to lower 40’s at night.  Sunny one minute, pouring rain the next.  And if you look toward the San Gabriel Mountains, they’re sure to be capped with snow!

There’s something intoxicating, exciting and refreshing about all the changes nature brings in February.  And it all seems to just flow… Unlike human beings, Mother Nature doesn’t struggle.  She just does what she does and that’s that.  Plants don’t think about sprouting, they just do.  Flowers don’t contemplate blooming and then back down; when the time comes they open fully and show their true colors.  Ocean waves don’t stop rolling in just because it’s been a long day, they keep coming, albeit in cycles.

Maybe we can learn from nature’s cycles and rhythms.  If we start out with good intentions but get sidetracked, we can remind ourselves of the beauty of our dreams blossoming and continue to move forward.  We can take time to rest and time to refresh.  We can spend time nurturing ourselves and giving ourselves what we need so we can enter a time of growth and change.  We don’t have to fight it.  We can use the natural cycles of life to go with the flow.  But we do have to keep going if we want to see our dreams come into fruition – no matter how big or small those dreams are.

As we enter February, I encourage you to take some time to refocus, regroup, recharge.  Rest if you need to.  But then move forward.  Figure out what nurturing you need and allow yourself to grow and show those beautiful colors of yours!

Have a wonderful day and an incredible month of change ahead!

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

Rev. Jeanette

1.      What kind of day will today be? 

The kind of day we make it! 

A little pro-active positive programming can go a long way in creating our heart’s desires.  All of our thoughts have energy.  Energy attracts like energy.  Think about your desires for today. What would you like to experience in the next 24 hours?   Allow yourself to see it manifesting in your mind’s eye and feel it happening in your body so the energy of your thoughts and emotions draws it to you. Affirm it on the lines below!

Today, I desire and experience…

HOW MANY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS HAVE YOU KEPT?

It's the beginning of February. And one twelfth of 2008 is history.

So how are you doing on your New Year's Resolutions?

Have you clearly set your goals for the New Year? Are you clear and focused? Are you working on your projects and plans of action?

Or have you abandoned the things you resolved to do--or NOT do?

It all seemed so doable on January 1st, didn't it?

The New Year was fresh and bright, and you had such confidence that this year will be different.  I hope that's still true for you. I really do.

But by this point in the year, most people have already slipped back into their old habits and forgotten about--or tried to forget about--many of the changes they wanted to make.

Let's face it, change can be hard.

It's all doable. And it's simple, but self discipline isn't always easy.

If you find yourself not achieving the goals you set for yourself, if you are frustrated, but also disgusted with the status quo, I have something for you.

Don't beat up on yourself for not having made more progress than you have. Heck, even with the proper tools, systems and support, it's no walk in the park.

But if you want to stack the deck in your favor, if you want to position yourself to win--and win big--I know you'll benefit from being part of Diamond Club.

It's not too late to join. We're still adding people to mastermind teams. We're helping each member get clear on their goals and the projects and action plans that will get them where they want to go.

They are working in their Goal Planners, meeting with their new teams, planning, learning and growing.

And you can, too.

One of our members just published her first book. Another just got a big raise. And yet another just said goodbye to the W-2 World--forever!

Find out all about what Diamond Club can do for you.

The only thing worse than being at the beginning of February frustrated and discouraged with not much confidence in achieving your big goals and dreams is to be in the same place at the bottom of February or March--or even December.

It's not for everyone, but you owe it to yourself to make an informed and considered decision for yourself. Diamond Club is about clarity, focus and consistency. It's about helping you achieve YOUR goals.

Full details at . . .

I look forward to welcoming you into Diamond Club.

PS: We have Diamond Club Members in 9 different countries from around the world. It matters not where you live. As long as you have access to the Web you can be part of this dynamic program.

If you have questions, just email me and we can arrange for a time to talk by phone.

PPS: And if Diamond Club is TRULY out of reach for you right now, I invite you to at least get the SuccessNet Goal Planner…

5.      Sir Froggie’s Pondering — from Sir Froggie

DO IT FOR YOU!

Do you have dreams and goals you’re working on?  What do you desire for your life?  What’s your motivation to make it happen?

Do it for you!

There can be a lot of pressure on us to set goals, dream big, and “make it all happen.”  There are multi-million dollar industries telling us how to live our lives and make our dreams come true.  They have great ideas, helpful tools, and wonderfully talented people to teach us how to accomplish what we want.  So how come so many of us don’t?

It may be a matter of motivation.  If our heart’s not into what we’re doing, we simply won’t continue to do it.  We’ll find other things to spend our time and energy on even if our goal seems important.  Take a look at your daily, weekly and monthly activities.  How many of them do you do because you “should” or because of other peoples’ expectations?  How much of your time is given to others’ agendas?   How much of yourself do you commit to YOU – to your goals, dreams, and ideal life?

Do you believe you are worthy of living your dream?  Do you believe you deserve to receive its benefits?  Really think about that for a moment.  Many of us have been programmed at some point in our lives by parents, educators, or religious leaders to believe we are unworthy of all God’s best.  Feeling unworthy, even on a subconscious level, will sabotage our greatest efforts! 

We must believe we are not only worthy of receiving all of God’s blessings, but that we are capable, too!

We tend to think of success primarily as a game of action.  But it also requires a strategy which begins deep within.  Success gurus will tell you any worthy goal needs an equally worthy motivator.  We can say we want to make the world a better place or do it for our kids or to make our families proud.  The truth is we need to do it for ourselves.  We need to be our own motivation.  If we don’t feel good about who we are or what we’re doing both in the short and long run, we won’t keep at it.  We must have a real inner connection to keep us going.   Yes, we may want to change the world or even just change our family life, but we have to rely on our inner self for that motivation; not on the world around us or on our loved ones giving us praise.

So what is your inner passion?  What is it you desire in your life?  How will it benefit you?  How does it make you feel?  How can you keep yourself in alignment with the passion and desire as you move forward through all the tasks ahead?  How can you inspire yourself with your goal?  Is it really worthy of your time and energy?  If not, what would make it better? 

Your dreams and goals don’t have to be huge. They just have to be connected to your inner drive and passion.  They have to feel like a worthy cause to you.  They have to light your personal flame of inspiration to keep your desire burning.  

And you have to be willing to do it for YOU!
