1. This Week's Jumpstart
Integrity is the Real Bottom Line
The dictionary defines integrity in terms of soundness of
moral character, adherence to ethical principles and being
unimpaired. Its middle English root is related to
integrate-to bring together as a whole-and integral --
complete and whole. These references to wholeness rightly
suggest that integrity affects all aspects of our lives,
which is why it is like a healthy investment portfolio
filled with blue chip stocks such as honesty, fairness, and
loyalty.
Integrity that strengthens an inner value system is the real
human bottom line. It means that you don't base your
decisions simply on being politically correct. You do what's
right, not what's fashionable. You know that truth is
absolute, not a device for manipulating others. And, it's
not just in the major decisions that this quality is needed.
Complete integrity in little things is no little thing at
all. As has been said many times, "The devil is in the
details" and "elephants don't bite, but fleas do." There are
no degrees of integrity. You have it or you don't. Being
slightly dishonest may be a safe adventure for a time. But
one day, inevitably, little details will be noticed and the
piper will have to be paid. Your word is more valuable than
a surety bond. What you are speaks so loudly, no one can
really hear what you say. If what you do matches what you
say, your life will speak forcefully indeed. In people, we
value honesty more than any other virtue. We expect it from
our leaders. We must demand it from ourselves.
This week and from now on, "seek the truth," and "speak the truth."
-- Denis Waitley
2. The Champion Within
Article
Be Committed to Keeping Your Personal and Professional Life in Balance by Denis Waitley
It is so important to be living in prime time, rather
than watching TV in prime time. On your way to success make
certain you grow friendships, not just bank and mutual fund
accounts. Life is a collection of memories, not of material
things. The Egyptian pharaohs were buried with all their
treasures, and were mummified in hopes that they could enjoy
their bounty in the next life. But we are only caretakers of
possessions. There is a big difference between standard of
living and quality of life. Standard of living is based on
income earned. Quality of life is the enjoyment of the
millions of minutes in between accomplishments.
Having money is only one aspect of wealth. To the sick
person, wealth is health. To the lonely person, wealth is
someone to talk to and share with. To the estranged person,
wealth is hearing words of love and forgiveness.
Borrowing the free verse style from Brother Jeremiah's
classic poem, I'd Pick More Daisies, here are a few things
I'd do, the second time around.
I'd laugh at my misfortunes more. Spend more time counting
my blessings than my blemishes. Spend more time playing with
my children and grandchildren and less time watching
performers in the arena. More time enjoying what I have,
less time thinking about the things I don't have. If I could
live my life again, I'd walk in the rain more without an
umbrella and listen less to weather reports. I'd spend more
time looking at trees and climbing them, less time flipping
through magazines made from dead trees. I'd spend more time
fully involved in the present moment, less time remembering
and anticipating. I'd smile more, frown less.
And most of all I'd be more spontaneous and active, less
hesitant and subdued. When some spur of the moment idea came
up to go hiking, playing Frisbee, coloring Easter eggs,
singing in a chorus, going kayaking, or watching an eclipse,
I'd be less likely to sit in my chair objecting, "It's not
in our plan."
I'd be inclined to jump up and run out the door next time
and say, "Yes, we can!" Although I can't live my life again,
I'm still going to live the new way every day any way. I'll
never have all the moments I've missed, but I do have all
the time remaining.
Action Idea – Choose one activity this month that you really
want to engage in, but that you have been putting off
because it isn't a priority. Schedule that activity in your
planner, as if it were a "must do" business or financial
commitment. When you have done it, while you are still
feeling good, schedule one for next month, and do it as long
as you live.

3. Seeds of Greatness by
Denis Waitley
(Excerpted from Denis Waitley's Excerpts from The Seeds of Greatness Treasury)
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."

4. The
Winner's Edge Coaching Tips
This week's Winner's Edge Coaching Tip comes from Gary
Smalley, relationship expert, and he starts with the
question: Hey, aren't we on the same team? Here's what Gary
has to say about relationships... DW
Good relationships operate like a team! Therefore you have
to redefine winning as finding and implementing a solution
that people can feel good about. A winning solution goes
beyond a plan of attack that seems merely acceptable or
tolerable to everyone. That's compromise, and compromises
rarely make anyone feel good.
A win-win solution makes everyone feel good, gives positive
movement to the relationship, and leaves it in a better
place than it was before. You tend to relax when winning
becomes finding and implementing a solution that people can
feel good about. Why? Because you don't have to worry that
the others will accept a solution that makes them feel bad
like a loser.
If you walk away from every conflict feeling like a loser,
do you think a win-win solution might help?
What will it take to focus on both parties winning?
Blessings,
Gary Smalley

continuing to do with what you've got."
