Sitting in a waiting room today.
People had to take numbers and were called in order.
I did not have a number, I was just waiting. And observing.
Two women were waiting for their mother. They spoke in whispers as they did not want me to be privy to their gossip.
An older man walked in and took his number.
His number was the next called, and before going into the office, he checked with the two women to make sure he was not jumping them in line.
"Now there's a real gentleman," the first woman said. "Not too many of them left."
"You can say that again," agreed the second woman. "Few and far between."
And in a sentence, I had a clear picture of their relationships.
(When you really listen to someone, all it ever takes is one sentence to know their story.)
The point is this: The stories we tell have power.
Choose yours with awareness.
If you do not like the way it is, your job is to tell it like you want it to be.
Or you'll keep getting what you're getting.

So what's your most valuable asset?
I'll save you the time of trying to think about it.
Why?
Because the answer is your most valuable asset — TIME!
To paraphrase a Pink Floyd line (from the song, "Time" of course), after today, guess what? You're one day closer to death!
That's just the deal, right?
Your time here is finite. And precious.
Because of this, you'd be wise to take a good, hard look at how you spend your most valuable asset.
Do you spend it waiting for "some day" to make a change?
Do you waste it by spending your time with toxic people?
Do you spend it surrounded by clutter?
Do you fritter it away to consume lots of information that adds no value to your life (Facebook, Internet, TV, etc.)?
My point here is not about time management.
It's about honoring your time by choosing a clear direction for your life.
Focusing on your destination.
And leaving the baggage behind.

PLEASE LOOK FOR THE FINISHED PRODUCT, FOCUS YOUR DAY, MASTER YOUR LIFE by MAY 1 2010
thanks,

This is an advanced invitation to be part of my new project, Focus Your Day, Master Your Life.
There is just one space left (I offered it first to a private group I worked with last year), so if this resonates with you, just say yes.
I hope this finds you happy, healthy, and attracting lots of cool stuff into your life.
I am sending you this note because I am in the process of creating something new and as a blog reader, I want to give you first dibs before I send it out to the rest of my network.
If you’ll give me a few minutes to share my idea, you can decide whether this sounds like a good investment.
I’ll get right to it…
I’m ready introduce my new program, “Focus Your Day, Master Your Life (In Only 30 Minutes a Day!)"
The program’s purpose is rooted in the same ideas I share on this blog:
The key to creating a very cool life is mastering the skill of directing your thoughts in the direction of your desires. Mastering this essential skill requires conscious practice.
When you lead your thoughts, you lead your life. When you do not practice leading your thoughts, your life leads you (and usually to places you’d rather avoid!).
While we all understand the importance of practicing and regularly engaging in the process of directing their thoughts, it’s easy to fall off the wagon.
In my experience, without a fool-proof, step-by-step guide that tells us exactly what to do each day, left to our own devices we lose our focus.
The intention of the Focus Your Day program is to eliminate all the guesswork.
Briefly, I have created a program that will consist of a guidebook and two audio CDs that synthesize all the best tools and exercises that makes creating a daily practice simple, easy, and fun.
In a nutshell, it will look like this:
Sit down in the morning.
Open the manual.
Complete the exercise on the page.
Move on with your life.
Repeat for one month.
By practicing for just 30 minutes a day – in three, 10 minute blocks (morning, midday, and night), you can release the majority of the resistance in your life.
I know this program works and I am excited to share it with people.
My desire is to make this super-valuable for people who choose to invest in the program. To do that, I want to put in the hands of people who will use it and give me feedback on what works best.
This is where I am inviting you to join me.
Because you are part of my tribe and you understand the power of consciously directing your thoughts, I want to give you the first opportunity to become part of my BETA TEAM for Focus Your Day!
Briefly, I am looking for 10 people to go through a trial run of the program with me.
(Please note that as of this posting, 9 slots are filled, only 1 slot remains. If you want in, take this opportunity now.)
Here’s the deal: In return for your participation and feedback, I wish to offer you several exclusive benefits.
BENEFITS
1) Most important, by joining the BETA TEAM, you’ll go through the program and experience the benefits of developing this powerful habit (the most important skill you could ever develop).
2) Beta members will go through the program with direct access to me.
I will hold two group calls to gather your feedback and you will have an opportunity to be coached on any barriers to your success. You are free to e-mail me with any insights or challenges anytime!
3) Beta members have access to the program at a 40-50% savings. (Why wouldn't you?)
Beta members will invest only $129 for the 30-day program (dirt cheap!). I expect to offer the finished product for around $229. (Beta members will be asked for their thoughts on pricing).
Supercalifragilistic Bonus # 1:
After the program is complete and the physical product created, I will ship you the finished product AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU. Yup, you get your cake (access to the program under my guidance) and you get to eat it too… the finished product for you to use forever at no extra cost to you.
Expialidocious Bonus # 2:
Once the product is complete, if you wish to offer Focus Your Dayto your network, I will offer you a 50% commission on all sales (after production and shipping expenses). Figure that just two sales would likely cover your entire investment. Only Beta members will be offered such a high commission rate.
How to know if the Beta Team is right for you:

- You are willing to give 30 minutes a day for one month to directing your thoughts to good-feeling places (I do not expect you to be perfect, but I do ask that you give it your best shot).

- (Yes, there will be a couple scheduled live calls to hear your feedback, but if you cannot make the calls live, you can e-mail me your thoughts. Dates and times for the calls to be determined.)
ARE YOU IN?
Okay then. That should give you enough to go on.
The Beta Team is limited to 10 people on a first come, first serve basis. 0 spots remaining.
But I will be moving quickly on this, so I urge you to take advantage of this opportunity now before the spaces are filled.
I hope you will join me on this exciting new venture!

These two quotes came into my world yesterday, minutes apart, one seeming to speak directly to the other.
When things like this happen, I try not to step over those messages, so I will share them both here.
We would never move forward in the face of negative emotion. There are many people who would teach you otherwise. They say, you've got to face fear to get over it. And all they do is desensitize themselves to the point that they get themselves into situations where they have no idea what's going on, and the end of them comes rather abruptly… And then everyone calls them brave. — Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Diego, CA on Saturday, February 7th, 2004
And then in my reading up on the Olympics, I was struck by this quote from the Georgian luger, Nodar Kumaritashvili, who died in a practice run on Friday.
Before the accident, Kumaritashvili called his father telling him how he was afraid of a specific part of the run."Dad, I'm very scared of this spot on the track," Mr. Kumaritashvili recalls his son saying. "It's very, very fast."I told him, brake, brake, don't risk it," his father said."No Dad, I'll risk it," Kumaritashvili told his father. "What will be will be."(story by ALEXANDER MARQUARDT)
