#3 Champions Have An Immense Capacity For Sustained Concentration
Champions are famous for concentrating their energy and efforts on what they want and blocking out anything or anyone who threatens that focus. While average people haphazardly pursue loosely defined goals, champions concentrate on the attainment of a singular purpose with an intensity that borders on obsession. World-class performers invest an inordinate amount of time and energy in selecting their major goals. While the masses consider making changes every New Year’s Eve, the goal setting and planning process is an everyday habit of champions. When the goals are set, champions put mental blinders on and move forward with dogged persistence and ferocious tenacity. World-class performers create such an intense level of concentration to overcome challenges and achieve goals that it is the last thing they think about before they fall asleep, and the first thing that hits them when they wake up. The great ones dream about their goals so frequently that they often keep pen and paper on the nightstand so they can quickly record any ideas or solutions that come to them in the middle of the night. While average people see world-class performers’ successes as a matter of intelligence or luck, champions know sustained concentration of thought and action is usually the true key to their success.

"In the beginning, God was revealed in all the works of creation. It was Christ that spread the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth. It was His hand that hung the worlds in space, and fashioned the flowers of the field. 'His strength setteth fast the mountains'.'The sea is His, and He made it'.Ps.65:6;95:5. It was He that filled the earth with beauty, and the air with song. And upon all things in earth, and air, and sky, He wrote the message of the Father's love." E.G.White

Look Down From Space
It was a surreal night to say the least. The four of us, two former astronauts, an Air Force Major General and I sat on the front porch sipping single malt scotch and Jeremiah Weed while a huge air force jet was making touch-and-go’s a hundred yards away.
When in the company of astronauts, the conversation, undoubtedly, turns to space travel. It is an experience so few people in the world have ever had or will ever have the opportunity to try, so the curiosity of the two non-astronauts at the table was bubbling. It was the two-star general who asked the question that we both needed to know the answer to: “did going to space change you?”
The first astronaut answered. “It didn’t change me,” he said, “but it reinforced many of the values I already held.” The second astronaut had been on more missions and spent more time in space than her colleague. “Yes,” she said, “it profoundly changed me. If you didn’t go up a pacifist, odds are pretty good you came back as one.”
This is a common theme among those who have ever had the opportunity to look back at our planet from so far away. Looking down at our little blue world, free from all the noise and hubbub, they can’t help but think: why can’t we all just get along.
This perspective is not unique to astronauts. We all have the ability to understand more when we step back to look at a situation with a wide-angle lens. Especially at times when we can see no alternative than to respond with anger, wage “war” with our competition or even just feel like we can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. In these moments, we need to stop and pretend we are looking at the situation from space.
I remember not getting accepted to an organization I really wanted to join. I was convinced on my second try I would make it. But I didn’t. I felt like I wasn’t worthy. Then I stopped. I pulled back. Would it really have an impact on my life being a part of their organization versus not – sure, some. I would have had the opportunity to do some pretty cool stuff…but it probably won’t limit anything I can do in the future. Then I pulled back even further - I certainly wouldn't lie on my death bed and think my life would have been so much better if I had made it in. In the grand scheme of my life and career, did it really matter? The answer…not surprisingly…was no. The best part is, there was another opportunity that I saw only when I was looking down from a high altitude that, when close-in and obsessed with the first thing, I couldn’t see.
Pulling back, physically and philosophically, is an amazing practice. We see things we can never see when in the middle of it. We see solutions, we see opportunities, we become more realistic and pragmatic and less reactive and reactionary and, best of all, we find calm. It’s a shame we can’t all go to space to come back with that new perspective...but we can pretend. This was written by Simon Sinek and shared by Ronald P Chin

#2 World-Class Wealth Begins With World-Class Thinking
If you got out of bed this morning and went to work because you wanted to, you are in control of money. If you got out of bed this morning because you had to, money is in control of you. Even in the wealthiest nation in the world, 99% of the population is being controlled by money. The effect is lack of money. The cause is thinking. Albert Einstein once said, “a problem cannot be solved at the level of consciousness in which it occurs."
This is written by Steve Siebold and reproduce by Ronald Chin because the content is amazingly strong and real.http://www.chinssolution.com
| Knowing this, champions raise their level of consciousness by studying how the world class creates wealth. The middle class believes formal education is the answer to acquiring wealth, yet very few academics are wealthy. They seek advanced degrees and certifications and are confounded when these things don’t bring them riches. While the great ones are strong advocates of higher education, they don’t believe it has much to do with acquiring money. The middle class trades time for money. The world class trades ideas that solve problems for money. Money flows like water from ideas. The middle class often scorns the world class out of frustration over a lack of money, yet the answer to earning more than they can spend has been in their laps their whole lives. Ideas -- it’s such a simple concept that the majority misses it. The poverty class talks about and regurgitates the past; the middle class talks about other people; and the world class talks about ideas. Professional performers know money doesn’t care in which direction it flows. They know the world will bend over backward to make them rich if it will help them solve their problems. About 150 years ago, Karl Marx was sure the working class, as a whole, would rise up and overcome oppression if they had a chance. What Marx didn’t figure into the equation was the poverty-driven thought process of the people. Give people operating at middle-class consciousness a million-dollar opportunity, and they will find a way to make it back to the middle class. It is where their limited self-image tells them they belong. The difference has nothing to do with reality. It’s all perception in the mind of the performer. |

"Where you feel most comfortable reflects your self-image, and most likely, your current status. If you want to become wealthier, begin by raising your self-image by upgrading the self-talk you use regarding money and finances. If all you do is chase more money, you are simply attacking the effect. The cause is how you think, and if you improve the cause, the effect will take care of itself." Steve Siebold

#1 The World Class Operates From Objective Reality.
In 20 years of competing, coaching and working with performers from various fields, I’ve discovered most amateurs suffer from mild to severe delusion in relation to their efforts and competencies. In other words, most people delude themselves into thinking they are working harder then they are, and that they are more competent than they actually are. Of the five major levels of conscious awareness, (poverty, working, middle, upper, and world) my experience has been that performers at the middle-class levels of consciousness suffer the grandest delusions. The poverty level is barely surviving and living in a very harsh set of circumstances. The working class is punching a mental time clock and counting the days until retirement. They’re usually not expecting much, and no one around them expects much, either. They are typically not concerned about climbing any higher.
These are the words of Steve Sibold a World Class Speaker.http://www.chinssolution.com
| It’s the middle class that is most incongruent with reality. They are operating at a high enough level to understand that higher levels exist. Although they don’t expect to get there, the thought crosses their minds from time to time. Because of their low expectations, their actions are incongruent with their desires. In other words, they want to live the life of the world class, but are unwilling to pay the price. Since this reality is too harsh to bear, they delude themselves into thinking they are doing everything in their power to get ahead. Of course, they’re not. They’ll tell you they’re putting in far more time than they are. They’ll swear they are thinking about their vision all the time, but they’re not. The world class is brutally honest with themselves, and they tend to look reality in the face. They err on the side of over-practicing and over-preparing. Champions know that, to ascend to the top, you must first be operating from a mindset of objective reality. Self-deception and delusion have no place in the professional performer’s consciousness. |

The Key to Building a Successful Home-Based Business: Develop an Entrepreneurial Mindset
A successful home-based business is something that many people dream about. With it, they can establish their own work schedule, be their own boss, and save thousands of dollars a year on commuting and other work expenses – not to mention avoiding all that traffic! But the problem these people commonly run into is that they lack the entrepreneurial mindset required to move forward with their business in spite of challenges. They give up when things go sour and they become upset when they fail to generate the kind of income they expected to right away. That’s a natural reaction, but the entrepreneurial mindset requires a reaction of a different sort – and it can significantly alter the outcome of your home-based business.
Entrepreneurs who are successful find that they don’t see problems as insurmountable difficulties. Instead, they see problems as opportunities to be fleshed out and challenges to meet and conquer. They like to think outside the box and to devise new and creative ways to overcome adversity. A successful home-based business is operated by someone who can implement these strategies – someone with an entrepreneurial mindset. When an entrepreneur encounters something that is not going his or her way, giving up is never an option. Changing course is possible, but only out of necessity after considering all the alternatives. According to the entrepreneurial mindset, no decisions are made out of fear, anxiety, or misplaced passion. An entrepreneurial mindset is a positive mindset; it emanates success thinking, and thus it attracts success in the greater world.
If you want to run a successful home-based business, developing an entrepreneurial mindset is crucial. Fortunately, you can train yourself to do this; i.e., it doesn’t have to be an innate characteristic of your personality. You simply need to commit to its development and promise yourself that you’ll never give up, as it won’t happen overnight. For any entrepreneur who is running a successful home-based you can be sure that it took time and patience to get there and that the journey was fraught with trial and error. The entrepreneurial mindset won’t make you immune to challenges, but it will show you how to turn these challenges into short-cuts to success.Generally speaking, the entrepreneurial spirit comes in two different flavors—DIY and KISS. DIY of course stands for Do-It-Yourself, and refers to the entrepreneurial mindset that would rather build everything from scratch. If you do this successfully—think Bill Gates or Steven Jobs here—you can make a massive fortune. The sad reality is however that not everyone has the same drive to succeed as Gates or Jobs. (We all have the same potential for greatness—some of us just don’t use it as effectively as those guys did.)
The KISS approach (for Keep It Simple, Stupid) is generally much more appropriate for those of us who don’t want to reinvent the wheel while trying to launch a successful home-based business. With the KISS approach anyone with an entrepreneurial mindset can look for and find a veritable business in a box that provides a turnkey solution for a successful home-based business start up. Either approach can work—the key is to find the one that works for you.

Yesterday it was my joy and opportunity to volunteer to do the children story at my daughter's Pre-K, and the the little minds were so receptive. They eagerly wanted someone to share with them a story.In many ways we as adults are like children, like to hear stories.especially the ones that take someone from a nobody to a somebody.There is something inside of us that make us cheer for the underdog, until that person succeeds.So why is it that we are afraid to be that someone,who finally gets it together and lives that fulfill life?.Like the children we are in awe of the story, but unlike the children we don't believe that can happen to us, because it's too good to be true."We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves,we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit". E.E Cummings.Go ahead and do that project, degree,or that Business venture and see what happens.

What's the Hardest Year of Marriage?
By Rosemary Black
Reviewed by QualityHealth's Medical Advisory Board
Being married seems so easy at first: everything's new and fresh, from the bone china to the queen-sized comforter to "officially" sharing a last name. But at some point, the honeymoon's clearly over and you both find yourselves marveling at how tough being married can be.
The hardest year of marriage is something all couples face, and obviously it's different for everyone. But chances are good that it will happen either the second year of marriage, or the first year after you have a baby.
The second year of marriage can be very challenging because a couple is still developing a lifestyle together. "You're putting together a working marriage style," says Mary Jo Rapini, LPC, an intimacy/sex relationship psychotherapist. "But the second year, things start to catch up. It's typical for a couple to fight a lot since they have not yet learned the art of negotiation."
Following on the heels of that first sweet year, the second year definitely brings more of a routine that may be devoid of excitement. It's a time to work hard together, but many couples may be surprised by how trying it is.
While the second year of a marriage can be very difficult, the period after a baby is born can also test even the closest marital union.
"You're focusing on your child and you have to work double time on your relationship when you're both very tired," says Stacy Kaiser, MA, MFT, the author of How to Be a Grownup. "It's a critical year that can set the tone for the rest of your marriage."
Exhausted new parents tend to not have the energy for sex, which means that one of the prime ways of reconnecting fizzles. And for the husband, the abrupt shift of attention from him to a baby can be disconcerting and stressful, to say the least.
"Plus your finances are probably stressed out, and most couples don't go out much the first year that they have a baby," Kaiser points out.
Whatever year of marriage you're finding difficult, here are five tips to help you through.
● Think of yourselves as a team. "It's not about win win," Rapini says. "It's no longer my life, it's our life. Start thinking about the we, not the me."
● Set goals. "A marriage does best when there is joint vision," Rapini says. "Part of marital therapy is getting a couple to develop a vision that they share." Think about what you'd like to do, whether it is raise kids together or save for that house on the lake you've always wanted.
● Make time to talk to each other, just the two of you. "Focus on tending to yourselves as a pair," Kaiser says. This is especially important when you are brand new parents.
● Keep the "Four C's" in mind. They are: consider, compliment (one another), comfort and compromise. "If you are doing those four things most of the time, things will be humming along smoothly," Kaiser says.
● Make time for sex. And try to get enough sleep, since there's nothing like being well rested to give you enough energy to find time for intimacy.

10 Biggest Myths About Sex
Reviewed by QualityHealth's Medical Advisory Board
When it comes to sex, most of us think we know it all--or at least enough that we don't need further education. But no matter what your background or relationship status, you've probably heard (and believed) a sexual falsehood somewhere along the line. Maybe it was an old wives' tale about physical attraction or an urban legend about what's normal in the bedroom. Read on as we uncover the top 10 myths about sex.
1. Singles have more sex than married people. Contrary to popular belief, it's married people who have more fun. According to Linda J. Waite and Maggie Gallagher's The Case for Marriage, approximately 40 percent of married people have sex twice a week, compared with only 20 to 25 percent of singles and cohabitating couples.
2. Men think about sex every seven seconds. As it turns out, this is fiction, too. According to a 1994 "Sex in America" survey, 54 percent of men think about sex every day or several times a day, 43 percent think about it a few times a week or month, and 4 percent think about it less than once a month.
3. Women are naturally more monogamous than men. Although it's difficult to prove or disprove, researchers believe this popular assumption is more a matter of perception and socialization than biology. As they point out, in most mammalian species, both the males and females are highly, and equally, promiscuous.
4. Pornography is an addictive substance. Some people view porn as a harmless pastime, while others see it as a health hazard. Either way, most scientists agree that although it's possible to become addicted to pornography, the addiction is behavioral, much like an addiction to gambling. Porn itself is not an addictive substance in the category of heroin or cocaine.
5.Herbal aphrodisiacs can enhance your sex life. Ginger, coriander, or cardamom can enhance a host of recipes, but sadly, they won't succeed in spicing up your sex life. A review by the FDA revealed that no purported aphrodisiac has ever been scientifically proven to increase sex drive. And some, like Spanish Fly, can even be potentially dangerous.
6. Sex during pregnancy will hurt the baby. Believe it or not, sex is perfectly safe during the vast majority of pregnancies. In fact, most couples can keep having sex until the woman's water breaks. However, there are cases in which sex should be avoided, so be sure to talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.
7. Women can't get pregnant during their period. Couples who believe this myth may be in for a big surprise. According to a 2000 study conducted by the National Institute of Environmental Sciences, at least 2 percent of women enter their fertile period only 4 days into their menstrual cycle, and 17 percent enter it by the seventh day. Sperm can live for up to five days, so this myth has likely resulted in many unplanned pregnancies.
8. Sex the night before an athletic event will ruin your performance. Although some coaches and athletes advocate abstinence the night before competitions, scientists are quick to point out that there's no evidence to support this myth. In fact, 2000 study published in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness reported that sex had "no detrimental influence on the maximal workload achieved or on the athletes' mental concentration."
9. Talking to kids about sex will encourage them to have sex. It might be uncomfortable or a little embarrassing, but talking to children about sex doesn't encourage them to have it. According to the American Academy of Child Adolescent Psychiatry, open communication helps kids to make healthy and appropriate decisions regarding their sexual behavior.
10. Men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way. A study published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships found that men and women can indeed have platonic relationships. The researchers, who tracked 20 pairs of friends, confirmed that "friendship attraction"--a connection devoid of lust--between the genders is a bona-fide bond.

4. Pornography is an addictive substance. Some people view porn as a harmless pastime, while others see it as a health hazard. Either way, most scientists agree that although it's possible to become addicted to pornography, the addiction is behavioral, much like an addiction to gambling. Porn itself is not an addictive substance in the category of heroin or cocaine.
5.Herbal aphrodisiacs can enhance your sex life. Ginger, coriander, or cardamom can enhance a host of recipes, but sadly, they won't succeed in spicing up your sex life. A review by the FDA revealed that no purported aphrodisiac has ever been scientifically proven to increase sex drive. And some, like Spanish Fly, can even be potentially dangerous.
6. Sex during pregnancy will hurt the baby. Believe it or not, sex is perfectly safe during the vast majority of pregnancies. In fact, most couples can keep having sex until the woman's water breaks. However, there are cases in which sex should be avoided, so be sure to talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.
7. Women can't get pregnant during their period. Couples who believe this myth may be in for a big surprise. According to a 2000 study conducted by the National Institute of Environmental Sciences, at least 2 percent of women enter their fertile period only 4 days into their menstrual cycle, and 17 percent enter it by the seventh day. Sperm can live for up to five days, so this myth has likely resulted in many unplanned pregnancies.
8. Sex the night before an athletic event will ruin your performance. Although some coaches and athletes advocate abstinence the night before competitions, scientists are quick to point out that there's no evidence to support this myth. In fact, 2000 study published in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness reported that sex had "no detrimental influence on the maximal workload achieved or on the athletes' mental concentration."
9. Talking to kids about sex will encourage them to have sex. It might be uncomfortable or a little embarrassing, but talking to children about sex doesn't encourage them to have it. According to the American Academy of Child Adolescent Psychiatry, open communication helps kids to make healthy and appropriate decisions regarding their sexual behavior.
10. Men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way. A study published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships found that men and women can indeed have platonic relationships. The researchers, who tracked 20 pairs of friends, confirmed that "friendship attraction"--a connection devoid of lust--between the genders is a bona-fide bond.
Sleep Your Way to a Healthier Heart

To sleep provides more than a chance to dream. Scientists are waking up to the fact that the right amount of shut-eye restores bones, gives the brain a much-needed break from the daily grind, and prevents a whole host of maladies, including heart disease. In 2007, British researchers reported that snoozing five hours or less every night doubles a person's risk of developing a cardiovascular illness. Here are a few other reasons more quality sack time should be priority No. 1 for the 63 percent of Americans who get less than eight hours of sleep each night:
A lack of Z's can clog your arteries. An article in a recent issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association claimed that study subjects who slept five hours or less were more likely than their better-rested peers to accumulate calcium deposits in their coronary arteries, a condition that can make the arteries less flexible and lead to heart disease. Researchers concluded that those who got less than the recommended eight hours every night could cut their calcification risk by a third and enjoy a blood-pressure drop as great as 16.5 points if they added just one hour of sleep to their nightly routine.

" I don't know what tomorrow holds but I know who holds tomorrow so I approach it with confidence and thanksgiving. My Bible assures me that my past is forgiven and forgotten. That takes care of my past. Jesus Christ said, " I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly." That takes care of the present. John 3:16 assures me I will have everlasting life. That takes care of my future. With my past forgiven, my present secure, and my future irrevocably guaranteed, why shouldn't I be enthusiastically optimistic" Zig Ziglar

"There are opportunities of inestimable worth, interests infinitely precious, committed to every mother. The humble round of duties which women have come to regard as a wearisome task should be looked upon as a grand and noble work. It is the mother's privilege to bless the world by her influence, and in doing this she will bring joy to her own heart. She may make straight paths for the feet of her children, through sunshine and shadow, to the glorious heights above. But it is only when she seeks, in her own life, to follow the teachings of Christ that the mother can hope to form the character of her children after the divine pattern. The world teems with corrupting influences. Fashion and custom exert a strong power over the young. If the mother fails in her duty to instruct, guide, and restrain, her children will naturally accept the evil, and turn from the good. Let every mother go often to her Saviour with the prayer,'Teach us, how shall we order the child, and what shall we do unto him?' Let her heed the instruction which God has given in His word, and wisdom will be given her as shall have need" E.G.White

" We can give someone a dollar, but it soon will be spent and migrate to the pocket of another. We can give flowers, but they too will one day wilt. We can give presents, compliments, advice, and embrace one another in moments of despair.But to give another the gift of trust is a commodity for which no darkness, time passed, or circumstance can ever wither. Trust allows us to walk taller, to face our troubles without fear and to triumph in the hour of greatest uncertainty."Jay Kubasseck

Just a reminder of who we are and where we are going in time." We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit" E.E. Cummings

The Law Of Attraction
Nothing starts without attraction - you can't be a leader without
it.
Let's go all the way back. Your dad was attracted to your mom.
That's how you got here. But that's only part of the story. The
missing step is leadership.
Let's say your dad felt the attraction. But he didn't do anything
about it. Would you still be here? Probably not.
It's the same with selling. It's attracting, then leadership.
Nothing more, nothing less.
And make no mistake: whatever you do in life, you are selling. Even
if the product is yourself.
Attraction is an Irresistible Force that Draws People to You
Everyone is susceptible to attraction.
Why? Because everyone is looking for something. It's a fact of life.
Common things we are seeking: Financial security. An income.
Health. Peace. A good family life. Notice that everything comes
after financial security.
If you don't have money, it occupies your brain. Big time! You're
always thinking about it.
If you do have financial security, the rest is easier. Even your
health... because stress is a killer.
Take it from someone who knows.
I am an Internet marketing leader. I am a Multi-Millionaire,because
I truly love people and want to see them succeed.
To Attract, Be Attractive
The first law of attraction is to be something that attracts.
What do your prospects want? Become it.
If you have something a lot of people want - like the financial
security, like a good income, like peace of mind - you can harness
the force of attraction to draw people to you.
So first, become what you want to attract. I know it sounds
new-agey, but it's not. It's the way it is, and the new-agey gurus
picked up on it.
Trust me, since Adam and Eve, and for long after we're all gone -
you first need to be attractive in order to attract others.
I'm not talking about your physical appearance here, although that
works the same way. I'm talking about the very real power and
charisma that comes from being successful at what you do.
A Leader Puts Himself or Herself Out There
It's not enough to just be attractive. You have to do something.
Can you be attractive, then sit on the couch and somehow attract
customers? Not a chance!
You have to do something - you have to put yourself out there. You
have to put yourself where your prospects will notice you.
For Internet marketing, it's search engines. It's social media
sites. It's anywhere people log on. So you have to learn the ins
and outs of each.
Know which keywords to bid on. Know how people use each social
media site. Know where your most likely prospects go everyday... Then
be there!
Once you're there, you need a strong presence. A leader's presence.
Otherwise, your prospects will be on to the next one.
You need an effective video. You need a professionally designed
site. You need intelligent articles and blogs.
If you can't do it, hire it. Get professional help if you have to,
because you need to expertly lead your prospects all the way
through your sales process. Everything you do has to lead prospects
from attraction to action.
How do you do that? You give them a reason to keep moving forward.
Provide more information at each stage. Keep reminding them of why
they came. Continue showing the solution you provide.
Once you get it right, sales are automatic.
It may take some experimentation to find what works. But if you put
the laws of attraction and leadership to work for you - through the
power of the Internet - you can grow your business 24/7.

" Therefore do not worry,saying,'what shall we eat?' or 'what shall we drink?' or 'what shall we wear?'.....For your Heavenly father knows that you need all these things.But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,and all these things shall be added to you".Matt.6:31-33. I read this several times and realize here lies the formula for success.The question,why am i struggling in my daily life? could it be that my priority is not clear? and where is my faith?.Indeed things to think about.Have a wonderful day.

Yesterday was such a refreshing day and had the joy of doing the children's story, and it was about Daniel in the lion's den.Remember to trust God no matter what the situation is,because He will find a way to deliver you and the best way to turn your enemies into friends is to pray for them(smile)." It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping other to succeed" Napoleon Hill
