JOE VITALE RECOMMENDATIONS.

Why Good People Do Bad
A few weeks ago bestselling author Debbie Ford sent me an advance copy of her new book, Why Good People Do Bad Things: How to Stop Being Your Own Worst Enemy.
I’m a big fan of Debbie’s work. Her book, The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, is still one I say is required reading for anyone serious about self-development and expanded awareness.
So when Debbie sent me her new book, I dropped everything to begin it.
And I didn’t stop reading until I finished the book the same day.
It’s powerful, insightful, uncomfortable and wise.
It’s also a masterpiece.

The book makes you look at yourself with glasses that let you see rather than hide.
Most of us can’t admit that we are often our own worst enemy, but that’s what Debbie does best: she gets you to look at your “shadow” - the part of you that you’d rather not let anyone see.
Get this book. Read it. Own your shadow and transform your life.
You can get Debbie’s new book at all book stores or from NEW BOOK
Go get it.

EXCERPT FROM LIFE LESSONS "FOR LOVING THE LIFE YOU LIVE"

Chicken Soup for the Soul: Life Lessons for Loving the Way You Live

Life Lessons for Loving the Way You Live
7 Essential Ingredients for Finding Balance and Serenity

"Life Lesson #5
BE PRESENT

I was going through one of the darkest periods of my life. The man I thought I was going to marry --my soul mate--had just ended our relationship. To make matters worse, I worked for him. Since his office was separated from the rest of us by a wall with a huge window, there was no escaping his expressions and body language that told me whenever he was on the phone with another woman.

I was devastated. I could hardly breathe at moments, my heart felt so crushed. I implored him to let me take my office computer home to work, so I wouldn't be faced with the pain of seeing him every day. He agreed, and the change of venue definitely helped.

But what helped me the most was the advice that my friend gave me. First, if I was ever going to survive, the most important thing was to go to bed every night before 10:00. I knew from my study of health that every hour of sleep we get before midnight is worth two hours after that time. I also knew that staying rested is by far the most effective way to deal with stress. Anyone who's ever gotten up in the morning without having enough sleep knows how hard life can be when we're tired. When challenges are accompanied by fatigue, we can feel hopeless.

The second thing I needed to do was to focus on the things I had to be grateful for. Every night before falling asleep, I started writing down at least five good things that had happened to me that day. The principle is simple: when we focus on darkness, we usually allow ourselves to be taken deeper and deeper into darkness. When we focus on light -- all that's good in our lives -- we attract more and more light.

It is a powerful truth: Whatever you put your attention on grows stronger in your life. It's no surprise that when we focus on the negative, that's all we can see. How often have you had ten great things happen to you in your day, but when a friend asks you how it's going, you immediately tell her about the one thing that didn't go so well? As someone once said, "The more you believe something matters, the more solid and tangible it becomes." Sometimes we get so involved thinking about the past or the future that we simply forget what's going on right in front of us. At times like these, I find it valuable to remember the advice of my friend Stacy, whose life was turned upside down when her husband left her with three sons. She couldn't figure out what was going to happen down the road, but she knew her children would be home from school for lunch. So she put a sign on her refrigerator that said, "Just make lunch." She calls it training for living in the moment and adds, "There's no knowing what the crystal ball holds, but every outcome starts with "making lunch." . . . ©2007. Jennifer Read Hawthorne.

TELL EVERYONE WHEN YOUR BOOK IS PUBLISHED

PREPARE TO READ!

I find myself lately having to prepare my space when reading. I must have everything within arms reach, so I begin by having the right materials handy and each of the books I am working on.

I always have a notebook set up for each book, I find a college ruled Mead one subject notebook works well. As I run across a line in the book that I need to refer back to I use myPost it Highlighter Pen and flags. Flags are great because they can be placed right next to the actual line you have highlighted and you can even make a very small note. I like to use the page number as a reference to a paragraph I am writing about. You can find these products.

If I am working at the computer I like the small Mead memo pads for storing page and line numbers along with passwords. I like knowing my passwords are all in one place. The Mead ruled index cards that come spiral bound are really good for this too.

Once I have everything organized I begin to read, having everything at hand makes for a product read.

Make a choice to watch it, read it or live it…but at least try it, and remember this:
THE SECRET

Thoughts do become things.
There are no coincidences.
Miracles are all around us.
Ask, Believe and you will receive.
It all begins with baby steps.

ESSENTIAL READING!

Having attracted "The Secret" into my life, my mind is like a sponge and open to all that attracts me to my purpose in life. I was doing a search online one day, while considering having an online book club as a new business venture, and I ran across a link to Oprah's web site. Well, wouldn't yuou know, she's was already doing one.

I got onto her online class last night to listen to Eckhart Tolle talk about "A New Earth, Awakening to your Life's Purpose." and I was organized with my book, notebook, printed course materials and my mother's bible. I was about a half hour into the class and I got booted and couldn't get back on, but it seemed that what I had heard there, started my mind on a journey of discovery. I am grateful for my computer today.

The entire time I have been reading this book, I have had so many AHA moments that I can't
count them. The biggest one was that some of the bible verses he showed reference to were highlighted in my mother's bible. My mind went rampant with thoughts about her bible and a discovery I made that took me 25 years to get to. You can read about it at:
ourgratitude-rosee285
our gratitude in business
rosee285 at powerful intentions

These are all of my blogs. It turned out to be an interesting and productive night, even though I could not continue watching the class. I did get a chance to get on today, in the archives that Oprah has set up, for the class. It is lasting for 10 weeks and if you have not yet read Tolle's book, it is an essential read believe me. If you don't feel the AHA in the first chapter continue reading until you do. If you still don't feel it, put it down and go back at another time to read it, because it definitely will come, when your life awakens to it's purpose.
