1. This Week's JumpstartIntegrity: The Real Bottom Line by Dr. Denis WaitleyA simple motto hung on the living room wall of my grandparents' small frame house, where many seeds for my development were planted. My grandmother and grandfather didn't talk about the lines; they lived them. Life is like a field of newly fallen snow; They believed you were either honest or you weren't. There was nothing in between, no such thing as partial honesty. Integrity, a standard of personal morality and ethics, is not relative to the situation you happen to find yourself in and doesn't sell out to expediency. Its short supply is getting even shorter -- but without it, leadership is a facade. Learning to see through exteriors is a critical development in the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Sadly, most people continue to be taken in by big talk and media popularity, flashy or bizarre looks, and expensive possessions. They move through most of their years convinced that the externals are what count, and are thus doomed to live shallow lives. Men and women who rely on their looks or status to feel good about themselves inevitably do everything they can to enhance the impression they make -- and do correspondingly little to develop their inner value and personal growth. The paradox is that the people who try hardest to impress are often the least impressive. Devotion to image is often for the money it can reap. Puffing to appear powerful is an attempt to hide insecurity. If only we could see many of our celebrities when their guard and pretenses were down! The myth that all that counts is bottom-line success often leads to fleeting stardom and ultimate defeat. Ask a thousand has-beens. There are no degrees of integrity. Just as you're pregnant or you're not, you have it or you don't. -- Denis Waitley
2. The Champion Within ArticleA Compelling 'Why' by Denis Waitley (excerpted from The Psychology of Motivation)I have a suitcase for you. In that suitcase there is $1 million in cash. The suitcase is sitting in a building that is about an hour's drive from where you are now. There is one catch, however. If you are even one second late, our deal is off, and you will not get a dime. No exceptions! With that in mind, what time would you like to leave? Most people would respond to that scenario by saying that they would leave right now. Wouldn't you? So off you go. You jump into your car and start driving for the building. You are excited and are already starting to plan how you are going to spend your million dollars. Then, suddenly, the traffic comes to a complete stop. You turn on the radio and find that there has been a series of freak accidents between you and the building and there is no way to get there! Now what would you do? Would you give up and go back home? Or would you get out of your car and walk, run, hire a helicopter, or find some other way of getting to the building on time? Now let's suppose for a minute that you are driving to an appointment at your dentist's office. The traffic again comes to a stop. Amazingly, there have been freak accidents between you and your dentist's office. What would you do then? Probably give up, go home, and reschedule! What is the difference between these two situations? It all comes down to why. If the why is big enough; the how is usually not a problem. This compelling why is connected to your personal objectives, mission statement, or magnificent obsessions. It is the basis of your motivational support beam. Truly motivated people are able to identify and tap into the power of a compelling why in everything they do.

Seeds of Greatness by Denis WaitleySEEDS OF DETERMINATION: It's Up to Me by Dr. Denis Waitley(These quotes were taken from Denis Waitley's Excerpts from The Seeds of Greatness Treasury booklet)Life is a do-it-for-others, do-it-yourself project. Stop stewing and start doing! Take action TNT. Today, Not Tomorrow. Life is not accountable to us for meaning; we are accountable to life! Don't put success and happiness on layaway. Do it now! Everything that is past is either a learning experience to grow on, a beautiful memory to reflect on, or a motivating factor to act upon. You have been given the greatest power in the world, the power to choose. Giant oaks do grow from little acorns; but first you must have an acorn! By thinking and acting affirmatively in this minute, you will influence the hour, the day, and in time, your entire life. You are your own scriptwriter and the play is never finished, no matter what your age or position in life.
4. The Winner's Edge Coaching TipsVisualize, think and speak well of your health. Use positive self-talk on a daily basis. Don't dwell on your own small ailments such as colds, headaches, cuts, bruises, muscle pulls, sprains and minor abrasions. If you pay too much attention to these occurrences they will reward you by becoming your best friends, coming often to pay their respects. What the mind harbors, the body manifests. This is especially important when you are raising children. Focus on the well family, and dwell on health as the usual environment around your house. I have seen more psychosomatic illnesses in homes where the parents dote on and smother the children with undue concern for their health and safety than in any other type of household. I believe in safety precautions and sound medical practice. I also believe that "your worst" or "your best" concerns will likely come to pass. So this week keep your mind tuned to healthful thoughts and reap the benefits of good health -- both mentally and physically! -- DW
