1. Weekly Jumpstart

The young violinist just off the bus at the Port Authority asked a New York policeman for directions.

"Tell me, sir, how do I get to Carnegie Hall?"

"Practice."

Practice makes permanent. Practice your faulty golf swing on the driving range and you’ll remain a high handicap duffer. Practice bad habits and they'll turn from cobwebs into cables to shackle your life.

This week consider finding a coach, with a proven track record of success, to teach you the correct swing in anything you are trying to master. Yes, practice makes permanent. Only perfect practice makes perfect!


Practice, Practice, Practice

2.  The Champion Within Weekly Article

Beware of the Grinch
(an adaptation by Denis Waitley of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas)


Now's the time you should hear this! For very good reason!
Now, please don't ask why. It's not simply the season.
Sooner or later the Grinch will invite you
To give up your life's goal as something you can't do.

It could be his head isn't screwed on just right.
It could be, perhaps, that his pants are too tight.
But I think the most likely reason of all
Is that his heart is too cold and his vision too small.

The Grinch is a dream stealer of many disguises.
A friend or relation with depressing surprises.
Just when you feel that your business is booming
He fills you with thoughts that are glooming and dooming.
He whispers about the forthcoming disaster
And about the new plan where you'll get rich much faster

When you say you look forward to earning a million.
He'll scoff and retort: "Not one chance in a billion!"
With a stock market rising and confidence strong
You'd think he'd get real and start going along.
But he howls and he growls with his terrible frown
"Whatever goes up, has got to come down!"

Sometimes the Grinch is quick to appear.
Sometimes he shows up year after year.
But whatever your "Why" and no matter "Who"
The dream stealer, Grinch, will start hitting on You.
He's the fear deep inside that insists you can't sell.
He's the voice that says, "Stop! Things are going too well!"

He especially hates Christmas and the spirit of giving
For he selfishly thinks that by "getting" you're living.
He thinks passionate service is too big a "Why"
And that money's the only incentive to try.
But he's missing the point, and hasn't a clue
That every Who out in Who-ville has a Dream to come true.

Sooner or later all dream stealers find
That they're out in the cold and left far behind.
What they could have or might have or should have possessed
Has now passed them by and left them depressed.

As you sit by the fire and plan the new year
Surrounded by family and friends of good cheer.
Remember the Grinch, with his feet in the snow.”
Standing puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?"
"It came without ribbons! It came without tags!
It came without packages, boxes or bags!"

"Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store."
"Maybe Christmas... Perhaps... means a little bit more!"
It's a spirit to treasure each day and each night
It's the reason the American dream is still burning bright
It's a mission of hope you can trust and believe
"The more that you give, the more you'll receive!"


This week during the Holidays, look for ways to give more!
Denis Waitley



3. Seeds of Greatness by Denis Waitley
(These quotes were taken from Denis Waitley's Excerpts from The Seeds of Greatness Treasury booklet)

Seeds of Love: The Ultimate Gift

Touch is the magic wand of intimacy. Love is keeping in touch.

Love should be a verb, not a noun or adverb. Love is an active emotion.

Don't assume that money, shelter and creature comforts are enough to demonstrate your love. Nothing can replace your presence, your hug, your smile, your touch --- you!

Love is one of the few experiences in life that we can best keep by giving it away.

Only when you set your romantic and business partners free to be all they can be, will you know how attractive and lovable you are yourself; free of the insecurity and self-doubt that spawn envy and jealousy.

To love is to be open and vulnerable, and to receive graciously that which is given.

Value is in the doer, not the deed.

Love yourself and give away, all the love you can today.

Healthy love can't be demanded nor taken for granted. It can only be a continuing give-and-take exchange and dialogue between two independent persons who share many values and responsibilities, yet still feel a childlike magic with each other.

The first words you should speak to the one beside you when you awaken each morning are, "Good Morning, I love you." The last words you should speak each night are, "Good Night, I love you."
