1. This Week's Jumpstart
Life is a participation sport,
not a spectator sport. We have become a society of overfed,
undernourished couch potatoes. Maybe it’s because I’m
reaching the autumn of my life that I’m much more conscious
of being active and healthy instead of sedentary and
overweight. Do you think the next generation will be called
“Baby Blubbers” instead of Baby Boomers?
A cartoon I saw recently, showed a pudgy neighbor kid
knocking on his friend’s front door, asking his friend’s
mom: “Can Johnnie come out and eat?” And not so many years
ago it was can he come out and play.
This week, pass up the fast food junk food, and put some
high octane, nutritious food in your tank.

2. The Champion Within
Article
The Winner's Circle by Denis Waitley
If the five Olympic rings were attitudes of champions in
every profession, these five attitudes would be prominent in
the mindset of the peak performer:
1. Paying the Price -- Everyone wants to win, but few are
willing to invest the time and effort. Paying the price
means focusing on developing the skills and training regimen
of champions – observation, imitation, repetition and the
internalization of knowledge into habits; also, learning why
and how to go the extra mile and seeing success as a
marathon, not a dash. Champions view failures as temporary
inconveniences and learning experiences.
2. The Olympian Within -- Winners believe in their worth in
advance of their performance. Most people base their worth
on their current status or achievement level, which means
that until they are judged successful by society’s
standards, they have little to be proud of. Champions
believe in their dreams when they have only a dream to hang
on to, even in the face of criticism and superior
achievements by others.
3. Non-situational Integrity -- Authentic, lasting winners
have an uncompromising attitude about self-honesty. They
function according to an “integrity triangle”, consisting of
three basic questions: (a) Are my beliefs based upon truth?
(b) Do my words and actions correspond with truth and
honesty? (c) Before I speak or act, do I honestly consider
the impact of my decision on other people and the
environment?
4. The “Coachability” Factor -- Champions are always open to
alternatives to improve their performance. Consistent
winners are not the arrogant egotists who dominate the media
spotlight. The most successful individuals in the game of
life are often the most approachable, most gracious,
non-judgmental with others and most critical of their own
performances, as well as most eager to learn and improve.
5. Being a Team Player -- a team in harmony is synergy in
motion, where the whole is greater than the sum of the
individual talents. When all assignments are understood,
when each takes 100 percent responsibility for the outcome,
a quantum leap in performance takes place. Winners learn how
to become interdependent, without sacrificing individuality;
how to stand out, while fitting in.

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 Optimism: The Biology of Hope
Life is a self-fulfilling prophecy. You may not get what you
want, but in the long run you will get what you expect.
A good life is a collection of happy memories.
The good old days are here and now!
Happiness is the experience of living a life you feel is
worthwhile.
To be enthused is to be infused with life!
Accept yourself as you are right now; an imperfect,
changing, growing and worthy person.
You are a masterpiece of creation.
Each human being on earth has equal rights to fulfill his or
her own potential.
You are an uncut gemstone of priceless value. Cut and polish
your potential with knowledge, skills and service and you
will be in great demand throughout your life.
View stumbling blocks as stepping stones to the stars.
Optimism creates energy and is contagious.
These quotes are excerpted from Denis Waitley's Excerpts
from the Seeds of Greatness Treasury, this week's featured
product.

4. The
Winner's Edge Coaching Tips
Welcome to the Winner's Edge Coaching Tips. Our topic is
tips for developing healthy personal relationships and
raising win-win children. Because the tips are short, we
cover two each week. Tips five and six are:
Be aware of opportunities to add spice and romance to your
most important adult relationship: flowers, a greeting card
slipped into a briefcase, an unexpected phone call, an
overnight bag in the car trunk when it was supposed to be
just dinner and a movie.
Talk casually and evenly with your children, not as an
authority figure. Parents under stress often withdraw from
one another and from their children, communicating in a
terse, irritated way. To ensure that your children feel
accepted, take time to chat with them about anything and
everything, a message that says "I'm interested in you."
Awareness is key to capitalizing on opportunities that
present themselves this week -- have fun and make the most
of one or two "moments" where you can!
