Words of wisdom from my good friend Terry Walker:
Lessons from Noah’s Ark
1. Don’t miss the boat!
2. We’re all in this boat together.
3. Plan ahead.
4. Stay Fit – you’ll never know what God will ask you
to do when you’re 60 years old.
5. Don’t listen to critics.
6. Build your future on higher ground.
7. For safety’s sake, travel in pairs.
8. Speed isn’t always important.
9. When you’re stressed, just float awhile.
10. Remember, the ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic
by pros.
11. No matter how bad the storm, when you’re with God,
there’s always a rainbow waiting.

You Are A Living, Breathing Creative Magnet
The following is a quote from Bob Proctor, one of my favorite authors / success coaches.
Attraction
Have you ever spent time wondering why many good people continually attract negative situations into their lives while others seem to attract nothing but beautiful situations into theirs? This concept contains power, possibility, and promise if you will use it.
You are God's highest form of creation. You are a living breathing creative magnet. You have the ability to control what you attract into your life. There have always been small select groups of individuals who are aware of how to work in harmony with this natural law of the universe: The Law of Attraction.
This law clearly states you can only attract to you that which is in harmony with you. Everything in the universe vibrates. That is based on the Law of Vibration. That includes your mind and body. Look at your body through a microscope, it is a mass of energy that is moving and vibrating. Your mind controls the vibration you are in at any given moment. You control your mind by the thoughts you choose. No one can cause you to think something you do not want to think. This is where freedom comes in, this is also where the problem begins with most people. They permit what is happening around them to determine how they think. They have become the play-thing for outside forces.
Ninety percent of the population wish positive but think negative. Their negative thoughts puts them in a negative vibration which by law determines what is attracted into their lives. As a creative individual you will continually attract good things into your life by thinking positive thoughts and expecting the best life has to offer. You deserve it.

Steve, The Three-Legged Cat
I just realized that I told you a half-truth the other day! I
want to come clean, and set the record straight.
Maggie is not our only "alarm clock."
There's also Steve, our 3-legged cat. Maggie is USUALLY the alarm
clock, but sometimes it's Steve. Thank goodness neither one of them
is "set to go off" earlier than about 8:30.
Steve was born with 4 legs, but as an adult stray, one of his back
legs was somehow mangled so badly that it had to be amputated. Our
daughter works as a vet-tech at the animal hospital whose vet
rescued him and performed the surgery that saved his life. He is
such a loving cat, and the staff there all became so attached
during his convalescence, that they kept him as an "office cat" as
long as they possibly could.
Unfortunately, his ravenous appetite finally caused him to lose that
position. Not that he ate so much that they couldn't afford to
feed him (although he would have if they had let him!), but that he
was continually ripping into the inventory of large bags of pet
food whenever their backs were turned, rendering those bags
"unsellable." At a cost of $30+ a pop, they simply had no choice
but to either find him another home, "or else."
Do you know how hard it is to find a home for a 3-legged cat?
Well . . . "It ain't easy!"
They tried for weeks . . . and no telling HOW many bags of pet food
later!
No takers.
Yep, you guessed it.
Our daughter was so attached she couldn't bear the "or else"
scenario.
Everyone else at the animal hospital had better-sounding excuses not
to take him in than we did. (Family members allergic to cats, etc.)
When she first approached us about Steve, it was all I could do to
agree to take him in on a trial basis.
For one thing, we already had what I thought was OVER our quota of
pets! (You already know about Maggie; there are even more!) I
ALREADY felt like we were operating an animal rescue out of our
house! (The line "Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be
vet-techs!" often runs through my head, to the tune of that
well-known song about cowboys.)
But the worst thing about taking Steve in was that at first it was
just down-right painful for me to look at him! He looked so pitiful
it broke my heart to watch him limping along. At first I just
couldn't bear the thought of keeping him, knowing I'd have to see
him in that condition on a daily basis.
But we love our daughter. We couldn't say no to at least giving him
a chance.
You know what? Once he'd been here a couple of weeks, we came
to realize that his "disablility" is only in OUR minds, not his!
As the vet so aptly put it, "it's a good thing that dogs and
cats are 3-legged animals with a spare." He actually seems
happier, more active, and more loving, than any cat we've ever
owned!(And we've owned a LOT of cats!)
Maybe he realizes how close he came to losing that 9th life, and
is grateful to still be in the land of the living!
He actually doesn't seem as disabled when he runs . . . although he
DOES look more like a rabbit with a long tail hopping along than a
cat!
I think there's a lesson in here somewhere.
And that is to not pre-judge PEOPLE either based on appearances, or
perceived disabilities. Sometimes those who seem the least likely
to succeed actually turn out to be the most productive business
associates! Sometimes those with the toughest disadvantages are the
ones who are the most grateful to find a "home" (network marketing
company) and a "family" (you and your team) and have the most
desire and determination to fuel their success.
You know something else? To me, probably the
greatest joy of being in the network marketing industry is watching
all the lives that are changed! When you help someone go from
struggling, and being broke, overworked, and stressed out, to
independently wealthy with time freedom, it gives you such a good
feeling to have been able to somehow help that transformation take
place.
Bankruptcies are being prevented, moms are now able to stay home
with their pre-schoolers, Dads can quit those jobs that required them
to spend weeks at a time on the road . . . the list goes on and on.
If you have a soft spot in your heart for those who need a hand,
network marketing is for you!
If you are the one who needs a hand, network marketing is for you!
Network marketing is the TRUE "equal opportunity employer!"

"St Augustine once said:
“Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and they pass themselves by without wonder.”
It’s true that many of us have been adventurers in all kinds of ways and have been interested in things that are of this world and have passed ourselves by without really wondering about the magnificence about the power, about the creativity, about the gift that is ourself.
Now the truth is that the mind of God has created each one of us – the heart of God is leading us,
and that we have been given the mind of God to create with – we can think as big as we want to think, and we can think as little as we choose, but we have been given this mind to think with.
So today ss we go thru life, let us not pass ourselves by without wonder."

Face Your Fear
"When you face your fear, most of the time you will discover that it was not really such a big threat after all. We all need some form of deeply rooted, powerful motivation - it empowers us to overcome obstacles so we can live our dreams."
Les Brown
Speaker and Author
Remember, FEAR just stands for False Evidence Appearing Real anyway! Just "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway!" You will be amazed at how your fear just melts away, leaving you with such a powerful feeling of relief . . . the weight of the world will have been lifted from your shoulders!
To Your Massive Success,
Linda

There's a Difference Between Opinion and Truth
Once again, I would like to quote Mary Mannin Morrissey:
One of my mentors, Jack Bowen, used to say
“I have my opinions, and I hold them lightly.”
You know, There’s a difference between opinion and truth.
And to know what we’re holding as an idea is an opinion,
helps us be more flexible in our thinking, more
available to new insite & more welcoming to a deeper
and truer information.
So today we all have some opinions, with which we’re
guiding our day, but let’s hold them lightly!
