To be successful you ( sometimes ) have to follow the leaders.  Rember that I said follow - not nessaraly be ( the same as ) anny particular leader.

1.   Look - see what they are doing - and create new opportunities for yourself and others.

2.   Don't be stingy - pass on the good news - keep the helping hand ready and open  for others to grab on to.

3.   Eat, sleep, breath and get lost in the passion of doing what you realy like to do.

This last week I heard someone say his key to success was

1.   be respectfull to all. You don't nessarly need to personally like them or what they choose to do. Yet a little respect goes ( will get ) you a long ways.

2. Get some sleep. In other words take care of yourself. Health is important. Know your limits and don't burn  your self out.

3.  Turn your weekness into your strong points.  Stop the excuses. Turn the tables and  make others beat a path to your doorstep.

4.  NO DOING - DRINKING OR DRUGS !  Again it's a health thing. Keep a clear head. The sharper you are the more you can do. The more - others will knock everyone else down to get to you.

 

No one can understand anyone else !  We are all (figeratively) speaking a diferent language !

In the book - or online www.YearToSuccess.com   Bo Bennett - on day # 16 talks about  ENTHUSIASM. Sounds simple enough - don't you think?  We all understand what enthusiam means - right? 

It is explained that the word Entusiasm  origianly camr from the word  enthousiasmos  or enthos meaning GOD within

EN = within

THEOS = GOD

Just so we're all on the same page - I decided to once again play my favorite word game and look up the meaning of a few of these words.

ENTHUSIAM = 1. Great excitement for a subject or a cause 2.  ( archaic) Ecstacy arising from supposed possession by a god. 3. Religous fanticism

FANATICISM = excessive irrational zeal

ARCHAIC = no longer current or applicable I'm fully aware of my age and that some of my ( and other people's ) ideas may be out of touch with those 30 and under but........archaic?That would mean tha anyone past 30 should have died off with the dianasours.

EXCESSIVE = exceeding a normal, usual, reasonable, or proper limit here we go again - explain - exactely what is NORMAL. What the word means for some one living is the USA would be different than some one living in Aferica or China.  What is normal, reasonable and proper? And who decides?  President Bush ? Toney Blair? Or the head of China?

IRRATIONAL = not indowed with reason, affected by loss of usual or normal clarityWhat does that mean? I've heard it said that left handed peoples reasioning comes from the right side of their ( creative )brain.

 And right handed peoples reasioning comes from the left side ( rational - reasioning )of their brain.

 So does that mean that only  right handed people are rational or that left handed people are the only creative people?

ZEAL = enthusastic devotion to a cause, ideal,or goal and  tireless dilligence in it's furtherance Full circle ? Back to great excitement for a subject or cause.  For me -  I am excited when I see the MIRICALS  that God's still doing in the world today  ! With the previous definitions - I take offence to be called arcaic.

Saterday May 13th,s  puzzle

Because I feel in heaven above.....

The angels, whispering one to another.....

Can find among their burning terms of love.....

None so devotional as that of "MOTHER"...Edgar Allen Poe    

 

Sorry I  can't blog today.......

I just have too much on my mind. 

I'm rushed as it is.

The older I get it gets harder to keep up.

I'm too tired. 

I've got pain in places I didn't know even existed. 

Why me? 

Let Bob do it - he's younger.

Not today I've got a headache.

No one reades this thing - anyway.

I can't think of anything to say.

EXCUSES - EXCUSES -          EXCUSES

We all make them.

Definition of an excuse is nothing more than a reason  - an explination offered in hopes that someone else  will offer forgiveness and justify  our dumb ass reasons to have made the excuses in the first place.

It's not my fault! ! ! Let's see.....who else can I blame?

         STOP

Making excuses !  Take charge of your own life and be accontable!

Watch out for the hidden ( suggested )power  of some of the words - we say.  We have become such a programable society. 

We were born with a free will yet we've let other people and their choices dictate our lives far too long. It's true - We are - where we are in life - because of choices - we've made or that we've foolishly allowed others make for us.

Ever say....... I have to...... like there is no choice. Truth of the matter is you or anyone does not have to do anything ever. You could just stay in bed and exist, exist,exist. Probably not for long but if that is your only choice that's what you could do. 

Lissen to yourself - and others today.  When ever you hear the words I HAVE TO ..... think - for real ....is that truly the choice of the person saying them ....or is that someone elses  hidden adjenda.

Think a head...... What would the consequences be if a different choice would be made?

 Where will you be? Doing what? If someone offered you 1 year to become successful.  How would you spend that time?  When the year was up - what would you be able to say? My statement might be.........

My name is Nadine. My online name is Jamryn. I am 62 years old and in better health than I've ever been. I weigh in at 120 pounds and feel  absolutly  great! I'm classed as retired but  beleve that I'm far more active than many others past the age of 60. Just for the sheer joy of it, I go and talk( give speeches ) with all types of people - about this or that or what ever subject comes up. I share whats been in my life - what's worked and what's not - through  the few different books that I've written. I do all this - just for the fun of it and for some unknowen reason - people insist on tossing $$$$ my way.  I guess I'll have to make the best of it and  continue to use that $$$$ for helping others to help others.

What does it mean to you?

Could it be.......as simple as finding a need......and filling it? Or as Ben Franklin would have said...."live usefully"

In spite of physical and mental abuse at the hand of an older brother, frustration and a strong desire to help others ....he did just that .....Become Successful. Can we do no less?

 Even if people get frustrated with us.......and tell us to go fly a kite. Who knowes .....maybe there's a key ( to success ) at the end of that string.

......holding firm to a definite conclusion. Reverse engernearing. Starting with an idea or goal in mind and working backwards toward achievening it.  

Thanks mom ......for calling me backwards.......now I can take it as a complement. I've been doing this .....forever ....and never really understood why ....ot that it was a good thing.

If you can't get there by moving forward......then try  going backwards.  make a firm decision as to what you want. in your mind - visulize it every way possable. visulize yourself - having it. Then figure the simplest steps possable to achievening it.

 Excample.....eating a slice of cake. 

to eat it you first have to cut the slice.

Before that you'd need to frost the cake...

before that you'd need to bake the cake......

before that you'd need to mix( put the ingredients together ) the cake......

before that you'd need to decide what  ingredients to use....

etc.....etc....etc....

                       

 

What is the best thing sbout dating  homeless girls?. . . . . . . . . .

 

Funny ?  

not  funny?  

 It may depend upon the person  - the place and the time. Success in life depends on our ability to have a sence of humor.  To  look at the lighter side of life.  Even if nessary to have a chuckle or two on our self. 

Seven years ago that was the hardest thing to do - to walk in to that homeless center - even harder to accept a bed - not knowing how long we would be there. 

That was seven years ago.  In aproximately 20 weeks -  4&1/2 months  - the opportunity will open up to get off WELFARE. Gee I  never thought getting old ( turning 62 )had those kind of perks.

 

Answer to the joke. . . . . . . . . . . .

 

You can drop them off any where.

P.M.A.

By Choice!

Your life  -  your choice!   Negative or positive - you choose. What do you choose to see - benifits, opportunities and good things or setbacks, problems and every thing that goes wrong?  It's not magic or supernatural - it' your preception.  You program your brain as to which you want.  Good or Evil or somewhere in between. Also it's up to you to change ( 100% ) from one to the other at will.

 How?

1.   Search your life  and record the ones you want.  Positive or Negative. After a while the trates you want will come to  automaticly.

2.   Mingle with others of like mind. Try to avoid all those who think different than you.

3.   Read - lissen and soak in the responces  that you want. 4.  When an oppsit thought  enters your mind - STOP - GO BACK TO STEP # 1.

Remember it's your choice. One will surley( mentally ) kill you - the other will free you to joys beyond belief. Again  it's your choice - It's a control thing!

Who am I, and why am I here? Who are you and why are you here? Do you know?  Is it even important enough to ask? 

Much determines Who we are and what we can and or will give back to this world. Most of it becomes a decision that only we can make. 

I just heard of a 63 year old women being pregenant.   I'm curous as to who's and to what purpose - that child's life will be.  In my opinion  children  ought to be allowed to be children, before sticking them with the woe's of the world.

When I was 10 my parents were in their late 40's and 50's.  Typical of many in that( my parents ) age group the  usual activities of  children in the 4th, 5th. or 6th. grade totaly over whelmed them.  What did I get to do?  Sit still in one place and don't make a lot ( any ) noise.  For a child with ADD - that went over well.

Success is.......your success is  what you make it. There is no one spacific time .....where you must achieve it or  forever  be doomed because you missed the golden moment.

Success came for a boy named Henry( Ford) building a steam  engine  at the age of 15 and for Grandma Moses somewhere past the age of 70. 

Don't let bad times and failure stop you.  Some of the biggest failures have gone on to becoming the greatest successes.  It's just not your time - YET! My son and I draw a lot of energy from one such faliure ( relitive  of his - Abe Lincon ).

Success is your decision.  If you make it or not .... it's all up to you.

......it has been said that one should remember names of those around themselves.  This would be a surefire way to build up rapport. 

I agree with this , but feel that remembering names just for the fact of rembering names is waisting energy - better spent on truly getting to know  the person - behind the name. 

Thinking about this - of course sent me off on a tangent- plaring a game I offten do with words and their meanings.

Rapport = mutual trust.

Trust =firm reliance on the integrity, ability or charactor.

Integrity= steadfast adhearence to a strict moral code.......

While this could go on and on and on I wonder if this is why it's sometimes dificult for people to get along - to build an easy rapport - because  we are no longer steadfast in anything let alone trust in one another?  

I heard President Bush say.....We ( the United States ) had the best health care and medicines in the world and that we're going to keep it that way.  Do you agree?

I don't.

Health care - defined by who........to benifit who.......This a sore subject for me.  Of all the years I've worked in the medical field .....this is what I see. The doctors and the drug companies are getting richer and the patients are getting poorer and sicker. 

Not feeling well? Wait a moment or two and one of the above will conger up in their mind a new illiness and drug ....to releave you of that excess lump of cash in your pocket.  You know what I'm talking about ...the one causing you to feel poorly - because you haven't figured out where to spend it - yet.

Just leave it to the doctors to.... discover a new illiness or disease and the drug companies to come up with a new combination of questionable chemicals to CURE the doctors new disease.

24/7/365 = keep on keeping on - Rest if you must, but dig in and hold on, don't let doubt slide you backwards. 

We're all driven by an inner  desire to be the "TOP DOG "  whether for ourselves  alone or to be the one with an out streched hand to say -" Come on up and lets enjoy the view together."

 A streched out hand to my fellow HUMAN - so we can ( together ) end the anger and miss trust of this world. Can we aleast agree to disagree - while on our way back to the ultimete  garden of peace and prosperity?

To me this spells 'SUCCESS " 

What's yours.........

 What dreams....desires.......passion.......wishes.....etc.
