Be More Courageous
Aristotle believed, and I think correctly, that courage is
the first of the human virtues, because it makes the others possible. Courage is
the ability to exercise your free will and make things happen in the face of
setbacks and unforeseen challenges, by selecting healthy role models and mentors
and taking daily actions that define who we are to become.
We are not what society and randomness have made us. We are a nation of
immigrants, most of whom arrived with nothing more than hope and a willingness
to do whatever it takes to achieve our own dream. We are what we have chosen to
be from the depth of our very souls and being. We are self-made based upon our
beliefs.
No significant decisions -- personal or business -- have ever been undertaken
without the attendant feelings of anxiety, uncertainty and guilt. The commitment
to wade through these inevitable crises is the meaning of courage. To gain
courage is to change your beliefs about what you deserve and about what's
possible with patience and persistence.
Get out of your comfort zone and stretch your limitations this week!

2. The Champion Within Weekly Article
As Tall As You Want To Be by Dr. Denis Waitley
When he was two years old, this adopted child of two college
professors suddenly and inexplicably stopped growing, and
his health started to fail. A team of doctors gave him six
months to live after they diagnosed him as suffering from a
rare disease that inhibits digestion and nutrients in food.
Intravenous feedings of vitamins and supplements allowed him
to regain his strength, but his growth was permanently
stunted.
Confined to hospitals for long periods of time, until the
age of nine, he quietly plotted his revenge on the kids who
taunted him and called him "peanut."
He recalled many years later that subconsciously "the whole
experience made me want to succeed at something athletic."
Sometimes his sister, Susan, went ice skating at the local
rink, and he would go along to watch. There he stood, a
frail, undergrown kid, with a feeding tube inserted through
his nose and down into his stomach. When he wasn't using it,
one end of the tube was taped behind his ear.
One day, as he watched his sister whirl around the ice, he
turned to his parents and said, "You know, I think I'd like
to try ice skating." Talk about two adults, looking at their
life-threatened child, with glances that were beyond belief!
Well, he tried it and he loved it, and he went at it with a
passion. Here was something fun at which he could excel,
where height and weight weren't important.
During his medical checkup the following year, the doctors
were startled to discover that he had actually started
growing again. It was too late for him to reach normal size,
but neither he nor his family cared. He was recovering and
succeeding. He believed in his dream, although he had little
else to hang on to.
None of the kids taunt him and tease him today. Instead,
they all cheer and rush to get his autograph. He has just
completed another dazzling performance on the world
professional ice skating tour, with a long string of triple
jumps, complicated maneuvers, and athletic moves, capped off
with a racing front flip that brought him to a sudden stop
inches from the audience. Although he has retired from
professional skating, he remains a coach, mentor and
commentator revered by everyone in winter sports.
At five feet three inches and 115 pounds of pure muscle and
electrifying energy, former Olympic gold medal figure
skating champion, Scott Hamilton stands as tall and as proud
as any winner. Scott's size didn't limit his faith and
reach. Don't let doubts and critics limit yours. This
doesn't mean that you'll close almost every sale or get
promoted in record time. Scott Hamilton certainly didn't hit
every triple-axle jump he ever attempted, especially during
the initial learning phase. Success in developing any skill
requires a basic trust in your ability that should never be
allowed to waver.
You can stand tall, no matter how small!

3. Weekly Seeds of Greatness by Denis Waitley
(This excerpt was taken from Denis Waitley's newest release,
Safari to the Soul)
Belief
Belief as a positive force is the promise of realizing
things hoped for and unseen.
As a negative force, it is the premonition of our deepest
fears and unseen darkness. (Many people lead lives of quiet
desperation, having most of their 365 nights each year spent
in anxiety as I had on my first safari night in my tent.)
There's no such thing as an absence of faith; it's always
one kind or another --- optimism, or cynicism and despair.

4. The Winner's Edge Coaching Tips
Welcome to week
four of our five week exploration of "Overflowing Buckets of
Wealth"! Coupled with your discipline and patience, you can
make your journey to abundance and personal fulfillment a
downhill flow instead of an uphill struggle. The key is to
use the "overflowing buckets" concept of creating financial
independence.
We'll tackle step four of our five-step stairway, with
Fulfillment waiting for us at the bottom. So let's talk
about this week's step: Financial Security
If you can fill your Quality of Life bucket, a little extra
discretionary income will trickle over the lip and fall into
bucket four. This is the Financial Security bucket.
Financial security is defined as the amount of assets that
will give you the amount of after-tax income you need to
maintain the standard of living necessary to have the
quality of life you want, at some predetermined point into
the future, without having to depend upon day-to-day
employment.
Less than 10 percent of Americans ever fill this bucket.
Your goal is to be in this 10 percent. It is not based on
salary. Many individuals in the top income brackets never
reach financial security. Many middle-income Americans do.
To get in the top 10 percent, you need to put 10 percent of
your spendable income into an appreciating investment fund
every month, just like a mortgage payment.
This week look at committing 10% of your spendable income
into your "Financial Security" bucket, and place yourself in
the top 10% of American's who will achieve financial
security. Next week we'll move on to the final step.
