Eva’s Surprise Leading Edge Expert Call with ABRAHAM…this WEDNESDAY!

2008-01-26T12:42:00.000-08:00

I’m thrilled to be hosting a very special Leading Edge Expert call with Abraham and you’re invited to join me AT NO COST!

Wednesday, January 30th 5pm PST / 8PM EST

GO HERE TO REGISTER RIGHT AWAY

And please forward this to whoever you think may be interested!

This is the first Guest Expert Call in the five years I’ve been holding them that I’ve had my life partner, Robin, participate. In fact, I’ll be turning the call over to him to host as he introduces Marie Pellerin, a delicious, delightful human being who also channels Abraham!

I know exactly what some of you may be thinking and feeling right now. Suffice it to say, I had my own personal reaction at first, so before you jump to conclusions about what it all means, please read on.

Over to you, Robin…

A new Abraham channel!?

In October last year, Eva sent me a link to Law Of Attraction Talk Radio and the featured speaker was going to be Abraham – but this time channeled through Marie Pellerin. Well, I’d always heard Abraham (through Esther Hicks) say that anyone could channel and further, that anyone could in fact channel Abraham. Somehow it never occurred to me that I would actually come across someone else who did. But I was intrigued.

Then I heard the show, and bells started going off. From the very first words, there was never any doubt in my mind that this was the Abraham I’d come to know and appreciate. Then, when it turned out that Marie was offering 1on1 sessions with Abraham, I decided that maybe, some time, I’d get my questions sorted out and spend an hour together with Abraham.

About 2 months went past and the thought persisted and I finally got around to committing some of my PayPal funds to an Abe session. Well … long story short, in early January, Marie and I got together. In our emails, we’d both expressed interest in perhaps doing some work together. Our first hour was just getting to know each other. The second hour was Abraham - and what an exhilarating experience that was.

From that point on, it’s felt a lot like an avalanche. Marie and I have teamed up. We’ve got the website moving. I’ve been privileged to have many conversations with Abraham, and at each step the message has been – you two are a classic example of the Law Of Attraction at work – from opposite ends of the continent – a perfect match for each other. And always, “This is going to be bigger than you have ever imagined” because the number of people ready to receive this information is expanding enormously. Wow!

So now comes our first major event. Eva offered to sponsor a special conference call with Abraham and here’s how we’re going to do it. We’re asking you to submit questions to Abraham, and we’ll pick four. Those selected will get to ask their question directly to Abraham on the call. And the rest of you – well keep reading…

Marie, for the present, will continue to offer 1on1 sessions for those who want to take that track - although we’re not sure how long that can continue. We see the telephone conference call as a way to get this message out to more people. The problem is, in a 1-on-many session, how do you know you’re going to get your particular question answered? Well here’s the idea.

We’re setting up some forums in which you can submit questions. We’ll be grouping the questions, arranging conference calls and publishing in advance the four questions to be asked. You may subscribe to the calls and pick and choose which sessions you want to attend. If your question is selected, you get to ask it live on the call. And of course, the recordings will be available afterwards as MP3 downloads to subscribers.

Check out the website at www.Abraham-Pellerin.com. There’s a download of that original talk radio show available on the site. Have a listen and see if it rings your bells like it rang mine!

THEN GO HERE TO REGISTER RIGHT AWAY

Wednesday, January 30th 5pm PST / 8PM EST

And please forward this to whoever you think may be interested!

See you on the call.

Coming Undone - Is a Good Thing!

Coming Undone - Is a Good Thing!
by Eva Gregory

Do you remember the saying, 'everything I needed to know about life I learned in kindergarten?' Well, I won't say everything, but definitely a few really key lessons can be learned from the five and under set. One of the most important ones is the wide-eyed wonder and delight that children seem to be able to find in almost everything, every minute of every day, day after day. As adults we often do not appreciate the enormity of this wide-eyed sense of adventure. In fact we often find it tiresome, but take a moment to truly ponder what it would be like to look forward to each and every day with so much excitement that sleep is like punishment. Can you imagine how different your days would become?

Jonathan was in a rut. He'd begun to dread his work and even wasn't satisfied with how he spent his free time. He'd begun criticizing and nit-picking just about everything and had begun to drive even himself crazy. One evening after work Jon stopped at the dance studio that his sister ran. While waiting for her last class to end, he ran into an old friend from high school. He was surprised to see Marguerite. He'd heard that she had moved away years before, and recalled being a tad depressed about it because he'd had a secret crush on her for years. Looking at her, she barely looked old enough to be out of high school, let alone fast approaching her mid-thirties as he knew her to be. He told her how good she looked and she smiled, but did not give the compliment a great deal of attention, which really earned Jon's approval. When his sister Juana joined them, she suggested that they all go out to dinner and catch up. During dinner Jon learned that Marguerite had a very eventful life. She'd managed to recover from a disaster of a marriage, from being yet another casualty of the Dot.com bust, and had recently moved back home with her Dad, yet she was the epitome of optimism. She never once complained about the things that had gone wrong in her life, but seemed to look to the future as uncharted frontier, full of opportunity. Jonathan could not believe how much life and vitality she seemed to ooze. When Juana and Jon asked Marguerite about her optimism, she remarked that it was because she refused to let life beat her. She chose to embrace each fresh day as a new chance and could not dwell on what had happened in the past, even if it was as recently as yesterday. She said that periodically when she slipped and allowed herself to get caught up in yesterdays, she realized it immediately because she felt drained, bitter, and often listless. Marguerite confessed that she learned this way of life from her now seven year old daughter Callie. Callie was always excited about life. She couldn't wait to embrace a new day, conquer a new task, and almost always did it with a fantastic attitude. When she was born, Marguerite had searched for a way to nurture the free spirit in her child and decided the best way to do that was by being a role model for her.

Jonathan confided in Marguerite about his life and moods of late, and asked her for some suggestions. She said that she had three tips for how he could start living his life with the abandon that leaves one open to all possibilities. She first suggested that he stop living in the past. When he began to deny it, she told him that if he woke up in a foul mood that he was indeed living in the past. She told him to make a pact with himself to never go to bed with unresolved issues. Granted some things cannot be solved in just a few hours of a day, but instead of letting things carry over, he needed to make peace with the fact that it was unresolved and release it. Second, Marguerite suggested that Jonathan allow himself to try and enjoy things that may not seem appropriate for a thirty-something year old. She confided that she often went to the zoo to ride the carousel and several times a month went to play at the playground without her child. She found this personal playtime as being her most creative time. She assured him that good things would result from learning how to play again. Lastly, she suggested that he surround himself with others who knew how to embrace joy, especially since he didn't have children of his own. She cautioned that sometimes one can mistake irresponsibility for playfulness, but told Jon that he needed to learn how to really let himself go. She suggested volunteering with young children, or having him join a group of his liking for a fun activity, or that Jon join Callie and herself for a few "learn how to let go" outings. As she spoke Juana watched Jon ponder her suggestions and was delighted at the sparks she saw in his lately dull eyes. She knew it was going to take time, but thought that if Jon allowed himself to come undone from his former routine and learn to live life in the moment that he'd feel so much better about himself, his life, and definitely his future.

Are you ready to come undone? Can you make a pact to leave the events of a day on that day and not carry it into a new day, week, month or year? Yes, it is difficult, but just like couples who promise to never go to bed angry, why not promise to never go to bed aggravated? If you can make a promise to others, why not begin with you? Remember, you can't change the way others act, but you can change the way you respond verbally and the way you handle things. It's your life, the ball is in your court, and it's up to you to decide to let yourself come undone where you need to, in order to create the life that will make abundance, delight, possibilities and prosperity flow like the mighty Niagara-effortlessly and limitless. It is a good thing.

Getting Money Faster

Getting Money Faster
By Jeanna Gabellini

The title of this article sounds like the subject line of a spam email! I'm going to give you all some nuts and bolts about how to attract money faster. My business partner, Eva, calls the "how" a four-letter word. It's because we're so busy figuring out how we will make things work out, that many times we end up in resistant or stressful way of thinking. The other hard part about figuring out how something will manifest itself, is that if you can't figure out the how, you think it can't possibly happen.

There is an infinite amount of ways something can manifest. Most times, even if you have everything planned perfectly, you get to the end result of what you wanted in a different way than you thought. Is this making sense? I learned a long time ago at a seminar that the equation for getting a goal is 100% intention and 0% mechanism = 100% results, which means the mechanism (the way you go about getting something) has nothing to do with final outcomes. It's just a means to an end.

Okay enough about how "how" gets in the way. Let's give you some
how-to's on getting that cash faster! If you are one of those folks
who is frustrated with how the money is not showing up yet, or you think it will never show up or you need it right now because you just found out that you owe $20,000 in taxes ... relax! You are not alone. I go through the same thoughts from time to time, but then I get on it!

"Getting on it" meaning I handle my emotions FIRST! I ask myself, "What I am scared about?" Even if I don't feel the emotion of fear, it's there. You're either in abundance or lack, love, or fear. So, if you are ever spending a lot of time in your brain on a certain topic and it's not bringing a lot of joy, you are in lack/fear. If I think of purchasing a new home and I'm not doing anything about it, I ask myself, "Jeanna, what are you scared of?" The answer: Not sure I could attract the amount of money I need for down payment, closing costs, and monthly house payments for the dream house in the next few months. I don't know how.

How-to #1: Identify the Fear
Once you identify the fear, you can now focus on the opposite. Back to the house example: I will find a fun, fast way to create all the money I need in the next few months. The way to do this will present itself soon. There are a million solutions to every obstacle. I've got the Universe on my side.

How-to #2: Create the Intention
Next, look for a strategy that feels easy and aligned with your core
values. For instance, if I needed more money than I currently had to buy a new home, I would make a plan. That plan would include coming up with fresh ways to create new business. They would support me in doing only the things that I truly like doing. I wouldn't take on 20 more new coaching clients. That wouldn't feel good for me, but they'd be easy to attract because I have lots of proof in my life that it's easy for me to attract coaching clients. I'd be on coaching calls all week long and overwhelmed.

What would feel even easier and faster is to do a couple of my Xtreme Abundanz Coaching Adventurz. Just a few a month would take up only a few days and I would make even more than coaching. This might be a bit more for me to emotionally embrace, as my Gremlin likes to tell me these kinds of clients are not as easy to attract ... because I don't have lots of proof that it's easy.

I also would not go on a complete money diet/budget. That would make me feel rebellious or like my freedom was being taken away. But what would feel good to me is to start socking away more money per month into a savings designed specially for the house. I might cut back on shopping for clothes, bobbles, decorative items, and then do my normal fun things like skiing and skydiving. I would give more attention overall to my business. I would also consider flipping a piece of real estate. This might be enough to get both the down pay and closing costs.

Remember there is no "right" way to do this. The only way to make a plan is to look outside of your normal way of thinking, make it fit with your lifestyle and values. Listen to others' ideas, but only take away what feels right to you.

How-to #3: Create a Strategy, Brainstorm, and Make It Real.

How-to# 4: Acknowledge Your Gremlin Conversations and Move Forward Anyway.
One of my favorite mentors, Todd Tresidder (http://www.FinancialMentor.com) always says, "Move forward as an optimist, but cover your butt like a pessimist."
This means that, YES, you expect to get the money and you also take the steps to ensure that you put in place a safety net and you inform yourself of choices and information that will serve you.

How-to #5: Expect Money to Come to You Abundantly.

How-to #6: Know All of Your Choices and Be Smart About What You Choose.
Lastly, you're going to want to be at peace about whatever your money situation is currently. If you are upset about it or keep
acknowledging that it isn't enough, you will move towards your money goal at a snail's pace. You don't need to like it, but you do not want to fixate on the problem. Focusing on the problem is not inspiring.
Focusing on the problem gets you ... what? More of the problem, of course! Whenever you are in a situation you don't like, know that it is a temporary state. Your natural state of being is one of abundance and prosperity.

How-to #7: Focus on the Horizon and Do Not Resist Where You Are.
Now, for goodness sakes, totally expect more money from now on. Take actions that a person expecting wealth would take. Be grounded in your choices and have a ton of fun on this journey.

Abundance Abounds

Abundance Abounds
by Eva Gregory, CPCC

Does wealth mean monetary success? Or can it mean more than just money? When one speaks of wealth, the natural inclination is to assume money is being referred to. But there are so many other things in life than just money. One can have an abundance of friends, time, good health, personal success, wisdom, or a multitude of other things that is not primarily associated with money.

It is said that the wealth and success of the world of controlled by a mere ten-percent of the population. Thus, should it be assumed that there is no more than what those in the “ten-percent” control, and the rest of us should throw up our hands in futility? That ninety-percent of the population should just be happy with what we have because there is no more available to us? Thankfully, the Universe does not put such limitations on us. Abundance truly does abound.

Too many people assume that if someone has a great deal of wealth it means that someone else has to make do with less. As if there is only a certain amount of success or wealth to go around that is stockpiled somewhere and once it’s depleted, that’s it. But that’s not how it works. Consciousness is at the root of everything. Abundance, wealth, success and prosperity are created and there is no limit on how much is available.

Think of new products that come into the market. Many change the way the world operates, but just because a different product or manufacturer comes onto the scene, does not always mean that another has to go under to make room for the new arrival. The same is true for the other facets of life, as Ralph learned. Ralph fancied himself an inventor. He hadn’t come up with “the” big idea or patent yet, but he was hopeful, that is, until his neighbor Stan came up with an idea and began to work on his very own patent. Ralph began to lose hope that he’d ever make it as an inventor. After all, what were the odds that two neighbors would both patent ideas that would bring them great success? Tired of all of his recent negativity, Ralph’s wife gave him a pep talk. She told him that she loved him, supported his ingenuity and had great faith in his abilities. She also told him that he’d be foolish to base the possibility of his success on someone else’s accomplishments. After all, it was like comparing apples to oranges. Imagine how far behind the world would be in all aspects, if everyone believed that there was only but so much available and once that imaginary quota was reached there was no more room for new ideas, advancements or opportunities. Ralph still hasn’t come up with his big invention, but after helping his neighbor through the patent process, Ralph recognized a need for his services, and opened his own patent consultancy business. His business is growing, and he believes that he will be successful.

Abundance is just that, plentiful. One must put the energy in place that there is enough of whatever is desired to go around. One is only as limited as one’s desire. The reality is that the boundary of abundance is infinite. Go ahead, grab yours!

Close Your Eyes and Dream

2007-09-05T10:11:00.000-07:00

Close Your Eyes and Dream
by Eva Gregory

Despite what Wes Craven would have you believe, dreams cannot harm you, but they can help you immensely. Not the ones you have when you're sleeping, but the ones you hold in your heart ... your fondest desires. Those dreams can shape your reality if you take the time to give them life ... to visualize them. Do you ever wonder about the self-confidence that successful people always seem to have? It's that self-confidence that got them where they wanted to be. They focused on the goal and the mind and body made it happen.

Do you ever "what if"? Instead of playing "what if", why not play "I am". How does one play? It all comes back to be-ing. You can be what you want if you can picture yourself being it, living it, experiencing it. Close your eyes, relax, and imagine that you ARE the successful ______, and that you live in the beautiful __________, overlooking _________. You have a wonderful life. You are able to relax and enjoy life to the fullest. You are content and all of your worries are gone. Use all 5 of your senses.
Elaborate from there. What kind of house do you live in? Where is it located? Is this your summer home? What does the air smell like when you arrive at your home? Is it by the sea? Is it in the country?

Can you see it clearly? How does it make you feel? Do you feel like it is really yours? Do you feel as though you've earned it, that you deserve all that you are visualizing? This too is part of the process. When your feelings are one with your thoughts and beliefs, and they are focused on the positive goals that you have set, the picture that you are holding in your mind's eye ... they will begin manifesting. In essence, you've used your thoughts to attract the people, ideas, situations, etc. that will bring you the vision that you are holding of yourself. Thus creating your reality.

Bridget was feeling exceptionally low when a friend suggested that she schedule a session with a personal coach. She was hesitant and skeptical, thinking that there was not anything that her coach could tell her that she hadn't already thought of, envisioned, or dreamed of herself. She found that she was both right and wrong in her assumptions. When she met Dora she was impressed by how grounded she was and by how much they had in common. She also found out that a couple of years ago before Dora discovered coaching, that she was feeling adrift and had a business that was floundering. Bridget readily identified with this because her gift shop had been doing so poorly lately, that she had a number of creditors calling looking for payment. Dora told her that she used visualization to obtain her goals. Bridget scoffed at the idea. But when Dora explained that someone told her that if she could not visualize herself as a success that she would never be a success ... it began to make sense. Bridget didn't think she thought of herself as a failure, but realized that she also did not think of herself as a success.

Bridget spent 15 minutes twice a day visualizing herself running a successful business, living in the house of her dreams and living a debt free life. After a few weeks, she noticed the change in the level of confidence she had in her abilities. She approached her business dealings with more self-confidence which in turn began to increase her bottom line. Her increase in confidence made her much more attentive to her customers which produced larger sales. With Dora as her coach, Bridget used her dreams to obtain her reality. She visualized, imagined, spoke about and wrote down her goals to support her state of be-ing. She refused to back down and allow limiting thoughts to tarnish her future.

If Bridget could do it, so can you. Let go of the limiting thoughts and begin by embracing the life that you want, desire, and deserve. Let the picture you see in your mind support your goals and you will help them materialize that much faster. Let your dreams be the guide to your future and the road to your success. You just have to close your eyes and ... DREAM.

Changing Your Mind for True Wealth: How Do You Know When You've Really Done It?

2007-08-24T12:49:00.000-07:00

Changing Your Mind for True Wealth: How Do You Know When You've Really Done It?
By Jeanna Gabellini

You already know that it's smart to invest, look for different strategies, and let go of your old safe ways of thinking around money. Blah, blah, blah. So, are you doing what you know? If you've been courageous enough, you've probably taken some steps. It seems like you've totally changed your ways. You've paid off debt, created some passive income, bought some real estate, and you have a plan. But how do you know that you're not in another box? How do you know that this new way of being with your money isn't old already? Read on.

Having true wealth consciousness is an inside job. Even when you have the intellectual knowledge and are taking steps, old patterns will show up. Having knowledge about something and knowing something at a cellular level are VERY different. You will feel a place in your heart that eases up once you've made a change at a core level. Youíll be playing with your money like it's a game. You'll feel fulfillment, eagerness to learn, and alignment with your goals and values. Opportunities will come out of the woodwork. They will not frighten you. You will always be looking for ways to create solutions to make deals, rather than saying "I can't" or "I don't know how."

There is a sense of space, and urgency is gone. You are confident in your ability to make decisions and trust yourself and your partners. You'll be using strategies that most folks (including accountants, financial planners, and real estate brokers) will say are crazy or can't be done. You will be a pioneer in your old circle of friends. You will feel different. You'll ask people you respect to give you feedback and be honest about what they see in you. You will be hungry to keep learning and stretching. The tasks will become second to how you're feeling. The emotions that you may experience will be joy, security, trust, faith, and exhilaration.

Let's use my client, Joe, as an example. For the past year, his focus was to operate his business as a "B." In Robert Kiyosaki's, "CASHFLOW Quadrant," a business owner has systems and people that run their business. The owner should be able to go on a trip around the world and still generate cash flow as if he/she were working. Well, Joe had made significant steps by hiring more people, buying the building he operated from, and creating systems. But guess what? If he wasn't directing the employees, they weren't taking leadership. They were dependent on him. If his assistant left for a week, nobody could find anything. He thought he was operating totally different, but I pointed out that he needed to create a team who would take leadership. He also needed to create more structure from the ground up.

From the outside, you would not have noticed any of this. He was generating more income and surpassing all of his goals. If he didn't have someone to point this out to him, how long would it have taken him to crash and pull his hair out? I don't know, but he didn't have to wait because he'd hired a coach. He has now hired a consultant to help him build better systems.

There are a couple of things to point out in this example:

1. Joe had created a new paradigm around growing his business. But the new expansive paradigm was already limiting him. So again, he had to shift.
2. He had the beginnings of a team around him that were looking from the outside in to support him. They were objective and skilled in specific areas.
3. Joe had to be honest, vulnerable, and curious about how he was thinking and feeling. He had do this with himself, then with his support team.

Do the following to ensure the changes you're making are from the inside out:

1. Be constantly pushing your limited thinking. If your heart pounds a bit when an opportunity comes, that may be something to examine with a partner or mentor/coach.
2. Expand the areas in which you invest. Do something different. Even if you do bigger deals in the stock market than you've done previously, you may still be playing where you feel safe. How about real estate or creating intellectual property? Everything seems foreign when it ís new. Once you learn and practice in a new area, it becomes fun.
3. Have a team that is 100% aligned with your vision. Your team can inspire you, support you in the same old-same old, or even bring you down. It's your choice. Make sure your team includes people who are farther down the wealth path than you. They'll teach you by example and get you used to wealth being a normal state of being.
4. As you feel and think, so shall you create. Where is your focus? Are your thoughts of prosperity, faith, and joy? Struggle, mediocrity or some day ís? If only ... If only you knew that you could be, do, and have anything, RIGHT NOW!
5. Hire experts. If you don't have a coach, mentor and/or mastermind team that you meet with consistently, you are prolonging wealth. Stop kidding yourself. These folks remind you to stretch; they support and teach you. They hold you more powerful than you see yourself. If you say you can't afford it or don't have time, then you obviously don't have an abundant perspective and are not solution-focused. You're in the land of fear and would really benefit from a more sophisticated team.
6. Get comfortable and welcome the fear that arises when pushing your thinking. Expect it. Get thrilled about it. It's just an indicator of where you would benefit from growing. While you're at it, get comfortable with falling down or momentarily lapsing back into old ways. It happens. So what?! One of my coaches today told me, "Have mercy on yourself." Be forgiving and keep giving yourself love. Duh! Beating yourself up is totally useless. Tell your self-judge to buzz off!
7. Get real. Be honest about your thoughts. Own your strengths. You really do know more than you think and are more powerful than you know. Be honest about what you don't think you know and where you hold yourself back. Let people know how they can support you. We're not always mind readers, ya know?!

Do yourself a huge favor. Breathe in right now. Decide that you will take a bold step this week, even if you feel nervous. You are ready. Promise. Read about our free teleclass and other cool stuff to help you on this wonderful journey. If it's not fun and impactful, I don't do it!

Play the game of life. Enough said. Bye!

Choose Your Path

2007-08-21T12:00:00.000-07:00

Choose Your Path
by Eva Gregory
You wish that you could do something over, take back an action, or exchange an utterance? The bad news is that you can’t – what’s done is done. The good news is that it’s already in the past and this is the first moment of the rest of your life. Since you can’t change the past, what does your future hold? It’s up to you to choose.

As a society we are often stuck in a rut. Not satisfied with our past and our present, but reluctant to step up to the plate and make the future what we desire. Too often this occurs because we don’t realize that we created the path we are on consciously or unconsciously. But nothing is written in stone. Change begins first with a thought, followed by a choice, which becomes an action.

Jenny was very depressed. It seemed that no matter how hard she tried she couldn’t get her business off the ground and her bills were mounting to epic proportions. She knew that if she couldn’t turn things around relatively quickly, that she would soon be facing bankruptcy. Knowing that things were out of hand she asked her best friend to lunch for some advice. Over lunch, Danni listened attentively as Jenny got her up to speed. When Jenny was done, Danni took a deep breath and said, “So, what are you choosing to do about it?” Jenny stopped chewing and thought about how Danni had phrased the question and asked her what she meant. Danni proceeded to explain to Jenny in detail, just how much control she had over her situation. First, she asked Jenny to describe her thoughts about her business and her finances. Jenny told Danni that having her own business had always been a dream of hers, but that she never had enough funds coming in, her client list was pitifully short, and she was rapidly losing hope. Once Danni understood Jenny’s feelings she asked her to describe her ideal situation. As she watched, Jenny’s face became animated, her voice became passionate, and her eyes lit up as she described oodles of serious fun clients, fulfilling projects, and an abundance of funds. When she stopped speaking, Danni asked Jenny to focus on her “success vision”, to choose and embrace it as her reality, to think about it at least three times each day in great deal and to let go of the thoughts that had landed her in her situation. Lastly, Danni suggested that Jenny monitor her progress each day by acknowledging the changes in her circumstances with some form of appreciation. When Jenny did not respond Danni gave her examples of things to appreciate, like a new client, a potential referral, free advertising. Jenny decided that she had nothing to lose, so she decided to give it a try.

About three months later Jenny called Danni and asked her to come over for dinner. When Danni arrived she found a beautiful table set, with a cake that had two words on it - Thank You. Jenny explained that she had spent the past three months showing appreciation for everyone and everything that showed up, but Danni deserved something extra special for helping her turn her life around. Jenny told Danni that her business seemed to take off within two weeks of their conversation. She had new clients, changed her marketing materials, and had even been approved for a loan that she had forgotten that she applied for. Jenny’s business was becoming successful, and she was positive that it was because she stopped playing the martyr and decided to choose to be successful.

Are there things in your life that you would like to release? Or things that you would like to see materialize? Are you ready to make the choice to BE what you want? I’d like you to close your eyes and visualize your dream life. If it’s different from the life you have, then you have a choice to make. Simply, becoming aware of the thoughts that you hold and changing them to appreciation will have a profound affect on your life. Don’t worry about what has already happened, remember, this is the first moment of the rest of your life.

Perspectives: Your Relationship With Money

2007-08-17T10:46:00.000-07:00

If you know you were born to be successful, rich and fulfilled ...

If you have an inkling of wanting more from your money ...

Read this short piece. I believe we all possess the brilliance to achieve
our deepest desires.

Good day!

Or is it? What have you been thinking about today? What have you done?
Is a majority of your thoughts and actions aligned with what you say you
want? Do you find you react rather than being pro-active?
So much of the time we say we want to have more money or have better habits with it. Then life gets in the way and we start thinking, stressing, and
creating good intentions. Some of us actually create a plan and start following it. Then what?

Time is like money. We're either spending it or investing it. How are you
using it? Is yours working for you or you for it? I recently co-led a workshop, "The Next Step to Wealth." We had the participants look at how they spent a typical day in relationship to money.

From the time you wake up in the morning 'til bedtime, what are you doing
and thinking? You are usually doing one of the following:
• Worrying about money
• Spending it
• Working for it
• Planning what to do with it
• Avoiding it
• Denying it's impact on you
• Being creative with it
• Investing it to make more $ for you

Or do you forget about it?

It's important to be conscious about your practice with money. Whatever
you currently do is what you practice. If you want to practice something
new, you have to know what you want as a result. Practicing takes
practice. Taking small consistent steps is great! Give yourself some
space and time to make the changes. It doesn't have to be perfect. Just
enough to make you feel like you're moving towards the target. What
resources and support do you need to start your new practice or expand on
your current ones.

Choose Your Friends Wisely

2007-08-14T08:10:00.000-07:00

Choose Your Friends Wisely
by Eva Gregory

As individuals concerned about quality of life and the environment, I am sure that you frequently consider how the environment affects your well-being. Asking questions about what is being spewed into the air that is breathed, dumped into the water what is drunk, or absorbed into the food that is eaten has become commonplace. What about your social environment? It has just as much of an impact on your life, and in most cases the effects are more readily felt than those of what we consider to be the outside environment.

The people that interact with you on a daily basis - friends, colleagues, significant others and family members all play principal roles in your life. While it is impossible to choose who all of your colleagues are (even if you own your own business), and you definitely cannot choose your family members (as much as we may wish on occasion), you CAN choose your friends and significant others (as they typically start out as friends first). Take a look at those people that you consider to be friends. Do you honestly feel like you have built a community of supportive fulfilling relationships? Or does your list of friends resemble a patchwork quilt, because the relationships just developed and were not nurtured or deliberately created.

Now, I hear you thinking "I like my friends. Why would I want to deliberately look for friends, anyway?" The answer is, because the type of people that you spend time with is a direct reflection of who you are, what you feel and what you do. If you hang out with people that are always broke, never happy or satisfied, constantly complaining, or always playing the victim, their situations will affect you. How can their situations be reflected in your life? If you are a true friend you will at least feel sad for your friend and it will make you sad. In other situations, you can actually find their emotions, beliefs, and actions being reflected in YOUR life as well. Tim can illustrate this point nicely.

Tim has had the same group of three friends since high school. They are all twenty-five years old, but Tim is currently the only one of them that is employed. He is an Assistant Manager at a sporting goods store. He often hears his friends complain about the lack of opportunity because of the state of the economy, how unfair life is because you cannot get ahead without a college education, but that with one, the job market is still saturated, and how they can never find decent dates. Tim had been considering returning to college but changed his mind right before the start of the new semester. His girlfriend was so upset that she broke up with him and told him that he was never going to get ahead if he continued to associate with his "loser" friends. Tim now has the chance to become Manager of his store. Want to bet that his friends will find some way to put a negative spin on it for him? Tim is clearly being affected by the attitudes and beliefs of his friends. In fact, they are the epitome of negativity and have adversely impacted his life.

If Tim had put careful thought and emphasis in choosing his friends, his scenario may actually look more like this. Tim and his girlfriend meet his friends after work. He tells them that he is being considered for a promotion, but that he has a problem because he is also attending school. They brainstorm a bit, realizing that this is a fantastic opportunity for him and come up with a brilliant plan. They suggest that Tim contact the school and see if his work experience could be applied towards college credit and then meet with his regional manager to determine if he would be willing to mentor Tim as a Co-Op student. What a difference! The type of people that Tim considers as friends has dramatically changed the course of his life with a single interaction. Imagine the affect that this could have over a number of years!

So how does one build a community of fulfilling relationships? Begin by looking for people that share things in common with you, or possess those qualities that you would like to nurture within yourself. People that have similar interests, hobbies, lifestyles, goals, or personalities are a great place to start. Once you begin meeting people, evaluate how they react to their environment. If you react similarly, or you find their reaction positive - I dare say you might have a winner. If you do this a few times, you will find yourself surrounded with like-minded people that you will feel truly connected with.

There is nothing wrong with looking to maximize the number of positive interactions that can occur each day. If you and your friends can nurture each other and improve the quality of each others lives, only good things can come of this. How many times during childhood and adolescence did you hear that you should, "choose your friends wisely"? Imagine That! The adults ACTUALLY knew what they were talking about after all!

Money DOES Grow on Trees

2007-08-13T10:21:00.000-07:00

Money DOES Grow on Trees
By Jeanna Gabellini

Money grows on trees?! Yes, it does. Well, this is just a metaphor. But the point is that money is as abundant as fruit on trees. Some of you may be thinking, "Yeah, right!" If you are, then you better listen up. ;-)

If you did believe that money grew on trees, you would probably have a whole different attitude. You would know that you could just go out and pick some whenever you needed it. There may be times when the fruit isn't ripe enough to pick, but there would be no panic as you'd see all the blossoms covering the tree. You'd know from experience that every year you have so much fruit that you have to give it away to all of your friends, neighbors, and folks at work. Some of the fruit even goes to waste on the ground. Not that you don't care about it, but it grows so abundantly that you can't keep up with it. That's when you hire someone to take of it.

How do money trees get there in the first place? You have to plant them, silly! Sometimes a person long ago planted the trees and you just need to give them some care and attention.

All right, you get the metaphor. Let's make it real. When you want more money for anything, the money is available to you. You may not be able to see it on a tree in your yard, but it is within your reach.
In "One Minute Millionaire" by Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen, they say over and over that all the money you need is a phone call away. It's true! The only problem is that sometimes you'll think that you don't know who to call. In those moments, you'll need to listen to your intuition. It may say, "Call Mark." How can that be? Mark just went on unemployment. Well, Mark knows the person you need to ask. Or Mark is now selling his house at a very low price to move into something more affordable and now you have a property you can turn for a nice profit!

The point here is that everything you need, be it money or the item for which you want the money, is within your reach. As easily as you can pluck fruit from a tree, you can pluck the answers from your intuition. It will guide you to the actions you need to take. Many times the source for your millions is right in your backyard. You do not have to search for the source. You just need to ask.

Ask yourself now, "What gift or project do I already have that, if given attention, could grow money for me?"

What is your dominant belief? Money comes to me easily ... or I am constantly struggling to have more?

To think is to create.

Gotta go now! I'm going to go pick some fruit!

Celebrate Your Friends

2007-08-10T11:09:00.000-07:00

Celebrate Your Friends
By Eva Gregory

What is your perception of your friendships?

Who do you call when you break up with a boy/girlfriend, get a new job, announce an impending birth, or just need to vent? I’ll even wager that your favorite friends are even on speed dial or voice dial too! Friendship is a huge part of everyday existence. What do you do to nurture these relationships? Do you let your friends know just how much they mean to you? Do you send them cards, always make time for them no matter what, or do they know that they can always count on you? Typically it’s unspoken, but it never hurts to actually tell them how much they really mean to you.

Krista and Faith had been friends since their wild college days. Ten years after graduation and with over 1,200 miles between them, there is no doubt in their minds who their best friend is. They communicate at least once weekly via e-mail or telephone calls, schedule time every couple of years for face-to-face visits, have never missed a major event in each other’s lives, and are more like sisters despite the distance. Gene and Trevor met at their first full-time job five years ago. Neither was brimming with confidence when they began their careers, but no one ever knew it. Instead they’d discuss their close calls, insecurities, and successes together after work over pizza. They no longer work for the same company, but they still get together once a week to trade stories, call each other during the workday to bounce strategies off each other, and Gene has been asked to be Trevor’s best man when he gets married in five months.

Good friendships are mutual, honest, fuel inner fires, provide support, and typically make you feel good. Unfortunately there are friendships that do not fit this description. Like every other area of your life, if a friendship doesn’t make you feel good, why participate in it? So if you have a toxic friendship, let it go. You’ll both be better off for it, as what you resist persists. Recognizing and accepting the situation for what it is, and having the strength to make a break, will pave the way for more positive interactions for both of you.

They say the Friends pilot was based on the fact that when you’re young and single in the City your friends are your family, and that was how Friends came to be. In truth, good friends travel with you on your journey through life - even when you may live thousands of miles apart. While spouses, children, in-laws, etc. may show up on the scene, a good friend is always along for the ride, always a part of your family, and always with you in spirit. Even if you haven't talked in months, the conversation picks up as if you'd just spoken the day before without a beat! Friendship like almost everything else in life is based on perception, but it is acts of friendship that tell the truest picture of all. Let your friends know that you’ll be there for them ‘cause they’re there for you too - in every possible way!

10 Truths About Prosperity

2007-08-09T10:35:00.000-07:00

10 Truths About Prosperity
By Jeanna Gabellini

For those of you who tend to use only your logical mind to create wealth, you may want to sit down. Here are a few rules of prosperity that guarantee results.

• Truly know what you want. Then put your request out for others to hear. If you can formulate the question, you will get an answer.
• Focus on what you DO want, rather than what you DON'T want. It's habitual for most of us to go to the negative "what if's." What if I lose my money on this deal, what if I fail, what if I can't afford it, and 1000 other thoughts that give us heartache!
• Expect to have abundance. Wishing, hoping, affirmations and prayers don't work unless you believe that what you want is coming to you. Expecting means you know it's going to happen, even when there is no proof. What kinds of decisions, actions and risks would you make if you knew you would have positive results?
• Only take actions that you are inspired to do. If you try to do all the things that you've read about that you are SUPPOSED to do or the stuff your parents said that you should do, you'd feel a weight on your shoulders. What do you want to do? If it feels irresponsible to only do what you want, consider a different perspective. It is your responsibility to make yourself happy. When you are in the flow of joy, everything you attract will please you.
• It is your job to mind your business. Your business is knowing what is and what isn't making you happy about the investments, partnerships, jobs, and tasks you are involved in. If it's not giving you what you want, change it now. Get a different financial advisor, change jobs, or talk with your partner. If you keep doing it the same way, you'll always get the same results, no matter if it makes you glad or sad.
• Listen to your inner guidance. Any time a deal, situation, or person has gone sour; you knew something wasn't right. Think about it. You can look back and at some point you had a feeling (even if just for a split second) that you didn't listen to. Listen to your gut, it will never fail you.
• Know the difference between your intuition and your "gremlin voice." Your intuition gives you simple and short messages. Your negative self-talk usually sounds like a parent nagging, someone playing devil's advocate, or the biggest 'fraidy cat. A gremlin will say things like, "This investment is too good to be true" or "I don't know how" or "I better play it safe than sorry." Your gut just tells you if something feels good or bad.

It takes the same amount of effort to create $1,000,000 as it takes to create $1,000. If you knew you could create a million a week, you could. It is the same process to manifest any dollar amount. You desire it, you decide you're going to have it, you take an inspired action, you believe, it shows up.
You can have abundant prosperity, NOW. It truly does not matter what you have created in your past. Abundance is available to everyone in the same amounts. Do you believe that? Whether you do or don't is the very reason why you have prosperity at the level you desire or not.

Trusting yourself is the biggest key to creating the wealth, prosperity, and well-being you desire. You don't have to know all the details, how-to's, or information about the topic you are pondering or engaged in. You do have to know that you will make the perfect choices for you, in perfect timing, with the perfect people, and that you have an inner guide who will always lead you down the perfect path. No kidding!

If you focused on practicing one of these truths each week, your life would be transformed. There's no effort in doing this. Create a couple of notes around the house, work, and your car to remind you. Tell a few friends to give you a nudge if they catch you talking or acting from a place of lack or playing it safe. Now you're set. I know you will love receiving the wealth that you are sooooooo capable of allowing!

Can You Hear Them Now?

2007-08-08T11:57:00.000-07:00

Can You Hear Them Now?
by Eva Gregory

What happens when you get the overwhelming urge to act on an idea? Do you pay attention when the same scenario keeps presenting itself? Do you make leaps when all indications are pointed to the fact that it is the right time? If not, perhaps it's time to listen to the signs of the universe. Do you hear them? Most importantly, do they make you act? Those signs are nudges by the universe, designed to keep you on path and steer you towards your goals.

Hope was sick of her job and longed for a way out. She had just learned of an online program that catered to graphic design and it piqued her interest. She liked the idea of learning at home as her schedule allowed. So Hope signed up for the course and waited for the materials to come. She waited, and waited, and waited but they did not come. Totally exasperated she called and cancelled the course. Hope decided that it wasn't meant to be and stuck it out with her day job. Ten months later she ran across an advertisement for the course again. She figured that it had worked out for the best the last time, but decided to give it another try. So she signed up again, or so she thought. About two days later she was contacted and told her credit card had not gone through. She tried two different cards, and none of them worked despite the fact that they were working for her everywhere else. So again Hope decided to put it on the back burner. About six months ago Hope decided that it was time to start making some positive changes in her life. The following week while in the midst of a full-fledged cleaning spree, she uncovered the graphic design course information. She hoped that the third time would indeed be a charm, so she placed her order, waited three days and her course materials actually arrived. Three days earlier than expected. Hope is half-way through her course and loves it. She intuitively knew that was the right time to pursue her dream. She wasn't near ready the first time. The second time she was almost ready, but not one hundred percent ready to commit. This last time she was totally amped up to succeed.

Would you have reacted the same way as Hope? She may not have known that the universe was working overtime to get her enrolled in her course, but she did intuitively know when to be persistent. If Hope has succeeded in registering the first time she probably would not have completed the course. She was busy at work, her home office as in a state of chaos, and she was physically exhausted. Hope listened and decided to back off. What if the signs kept showing up, seemingly in conflict? Hope figured that it was this course that she needed to take because the same one was recommended to her by several different people. But when she tried to register the second time, the universe would not allow her credit card to be processed, thus she couldn't pay for it. It was lucky for Hope that she didn't commit to the course then, because about 3 months later her car died and she needed to pay for the repairs using the funds that she would have doled out for the course. Conflicting signs? Yup! But for whatever reason it was clear that she was not to take the course at that time.

Learn to look for the signs that show up, and listen to their plan. Contrary to popular belief we juggle way too much, and being able to simply act when we are prompted to do so takes an incredible load off. Answers to problems that we may or may not already be aware of, fall into our laps everyday. Can you remember the last time that happened? Here's a fun exercise. Write down all of the instances that the universe gave you a nudge in the last week. Don't groan, it's just one week. If you do not recall any nudges try getting in a quiet place, closing your eyes, and really meditating on last week. When something seemingly unexpected popped into the forefront and said "Here I am!" Then write it down. Once you get started momentum will take over. Thinking about these moments and writing them down serves three primary purposes. First it gets you in the habit of learning to recognize these nudges for what they are. Then you can begin to take full advantage of them when they initially occur. Second, it allows you the opportunity to dwell on just how wonderfully the universe is working for you, allowing you the chance to show gratitude. Lastly, reflection allows you to remember the vibrations that were being sent out at the time that the universe responded to you. If what showed up was not what you wanted, this is the prime opportunity to start tweaking the messages that you are transmitting. It's a powerful exercise. Those of you who journal and/or keep gratitude journals will have a heads-up, but it will be just as intense an exercise for you as well.

With a practice and persistence you and the universe will be on the same wavelength. You will be alleviating stress by letting go of problems and you will find that more and more time is being spent on enjoyable tasks. Even things that would have formerly been considered major obstacles will be solved so effortlessly, that you will enjoy the process of putting the solutions in place. No longer will anyone be asking you "can you hear them now?" Your life will be proof-positive that you have eliminated the static, and are receiving messages with such incredible clarity that Verizon will have nothing on you!

Setting Goals -- The Fulfilling Way

Setting Goals -- The Fulfilling Way
By Jeanna Gabellini

1. Before you begin with this year's goals, do a "no limit list" for all areas of your life. For instance some areas would be: Career, Financial, Fun/Recreation, Doodads, Home, Friends, Family, Health, etc. Then under each heading, list what you desire. Keep in mind there are no limits for this list. So you need to pretend you have all the money, time, and resources you need to have all of it come true.

2. Now that you have this great wish list, choose just a few items from each area that are a must this year. I say a few because it's much easier for you to stay focused and not get in overwhelm. Pick things that would thrill you to go for.

3. Know exactly why you've chosen these specific items. What will they give you? Some of you will want to skip this step. It's important to know who is doing the choosing -- you or your old patterns or your friends or your parents.

4. Now that you've chosen your focus for the year, lose your attachment to it. Yes, you read it correctly. Trust that you'll take the exact steps you need to to get there. You do not need to push forcefully or rush. Take your time. Especially with financial goals. Do your research, educate yourself, and take action in bite size chunks. So many of us leap into this gigantic project without thinking through all the steps and then find out we're not enjoying the process. When you think of the goal and it makes you smile and you get really jazzed about it, then that's an indication that you're on the right path for you! It's got to be right for you and nobody else.

5. If you're in a relationship, it's good to do the exercises above alone and then together. Neither of you has to give up what you want. You may take totally different paths to get the same end result. It's important to honor that each of you has different styles and desires. This isn't a power struggle; it's a partnership. Co-creation.

6. You'll find manifesting desires much easier if you focus on the end result and not the particles. Translation: Your path to the goal make take twists and turns you didn't expect. That's OK. Enjoy the adventure. The less attached you are to the way it needs to happen, the more flexibility and ease you'll have. This is much easier to hear that to embrace in your life. Practice, practice, practice!

7. Give yourself permission. Permission to go slower. Permission to take a break. Permission to fail. Permission to take risks. Permission to take a different path. It's OK to not know the answers or where to start. It's OK to ask for help. People who take leadership in their life ask for support and seek mentors, coaches, and teachers more knowledgeable than themselves.

8. Have Fun! You know what? If it doesn't bring you joy to go after your goals, then why the heck are you going for them?! It's not worth it. If something is hard, a struggle or stressful -- STOP! Take a break to evaluate what's happening. Do you need to get feedback from someone who is objective? What's another way to get the goal accomplished? Am I grounded or in reaction?

But They Mean Well

But They Mean Well
by Eva Gregory

You’re in the middle of a huge project at work, a family dinner, or some much deserved alone time, when the phone rings, a relative barges in, or a co-worker pops in. You’re annoyed, but reluctant to say anything because you like your open-door policy, you don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, or you don’t want anyone upset with you.

This is a much different world than it was a generation ago. Back then, people were more polite, most offices had doors and were not cubicles, and people did not take it for granted that they were not interrupting you, but automatically assumed that they were. What’s changed? Technology has paved the way for this erosion of boundaries with pagers, e-mail, and cell phones accessibility has come to be expected. Unfortunately people have also come to stop respecting boundaries.

Belinda had just walked in the house when her cell phone rang. It was her sister asking her to fill in for her at her catering job. Belinda had filled in for Sue previously so she knew the work, but she was tired, having just completed her twelve hour shift at the hospital. She tried to convey this to her sister, but Sue being Sue, just assumed that the answer would be yes, and just continued with the details without waiting for an answer. Belinda was hurt and rather angry at Sue, but she hid her feelings and let out a rather long sigh as she went upstairs to change her clothes for her second work shift of the day. Toby was sitting in his living room watching the game when Fred burst in. He looked up a bit startled at the interruption, but when he saw who it was he was unsurprised at the intrusion. He and Fred had been friends since they were three years old, so Fred had been walking into his house ever since he could remember. He was very happy that Suzie wasn’t home because she looked at Fred’s familiarity as rude and it was often the cause of some of their rare arguments. Toby could see her point, but he didn’t have the heart to start making changes that could ruffle his nearly life-long friendship.

What do Belinda and Toby share? They both have people in their lives, close people, who do not respect them. Their needs, wants, and concerns are not being considered by Sue or Fred. However, while it would be nice for Sue and Fred to automatically consider their feelings, it is up to Belinda and Toby to voice their dissatisfaction with the situation. Realistically, no one can be expected to change a situation that has been working for them. Why should Sue think that Belinda would not cover her shift for her, since she’d always done so in the past? Why would Fred stop walking into Toby’s house when Toby had never told him not to? While it may seem like an issue of common courtesy, perhaps an oversight, or even a bit of stubbornness, the fact still remains that Belinda and Toby are responsible for setting boundaries and insisting that the people in their lives respect them.

Establishing boundaries to correct an action is not an easy thing to accomplish, just ask any parent. It takes time, patience, and practice. As difficult as it is for children to learn, it’s much harder for adults – think “old dog new tricks.” But boundaries must be established in order to protect one’s existence. There are many things in life that one does not have complete control over, but finding a way to protect the things that are important, is paramount to a peaceful, joyous, passion-filled existence. Everyone deserves the right to choose how their time is spent, how they want to be treated, how they want their life to operate, and if those choices are not being met, the light to the soul is being blocked, and changes should be made.

When performed in advance, boundary setting is a preventative measure, but proactively or reactively it is necessary in many different types of situations. Sit the person down for a talk, put it on paper, or make a phone call. Take a lesson from Belinda and Toby. Don’t be shy, take your stance and let your needs be heard. Reclaim your life, your choices, your space, and your soul.

Money Is Your Servant

2007-08-03T10:46:00.000-07:00

Money Is Your Servant
By Jeanna Gabellini

Money issues seem to be an ongoing challenge for many of us. We tend to try to control it, as if it were a beast. We put boundaries, rules, limitations, and goals in place to make us feel like we're being "good" and doing it "right."

Once we learn some new wealth-building strategies or hear about a great stock, we get very excited and leap into action. Now, action and excitement are a great combination. And ... they may not be the real solution. We're still trying to outsmart the money. We think every new tip may be our key to wealth. This perspective is that money is smart and we have to outsmart it.

The truth: Money is just paper. It is the meaning that you assign to it that gives it power. It's actually just an energy exchange. You receive money for your output of energy. You decide if you're a slave to your money or not. When you worry about money you have just shut off your choices, creativity, and power. When you think you're powerless, it's like being backed in a corner and you act out of fear and scarcity.

Let money be your servant. You decide where you'd like to spend it and how you want to make it. At any time you can change your "rules" to play a different way. The way you use money is a reflection of how you feel about yourself. If you feel in control and joyful with your finances, your cash flow moves steady and abundant. When you hold it tightly and worry, you stop the flow or have leaks.
How can you improve and enjoy your relationship with money? Let it serve you. For you are the master and it does what you direct it to do.

Buddying Up

Buddying Up
By Eva Gregory

You're ready to make some changes. You've decided to pursue your passion, change directions, and jump right in. You have a wonderful coach who keeps you on course through weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly session, but somewhere in between scheduled sessions you find yourself faltering. Are you looking for a way to stay on course daily?

What about a buddy? A really good friend who is working on implementing some life changes too. Think of the benefits. You will have a buddy who can provide hands-on support, encouragement, and suggestions, and welcomes reciprocating support from you.

When Stefanie and Geena decided to start home-based businesses, they each found coaches to help them through the transition. They were amazed at the clarity and focus that they began to have, and the speed in which they were able to meet important milestones. Although the big things were happening, the little daily things were falling by the wayside and they missed having someone in a similar situation to speak with on a regular basis. As a graphic designer and a copywriter respectively, Stefanie and Geena each gravitated towards a writers group and that was where they met each other. Through an "I need a business building buddy and sanity checker" email, Geena answered Stefanie's plea for help and after about a month of back and forth e-mails, the two decided to "buddy up" on a regular basis off-list. They traded phone numbers, started IM'ing each other, and scheduled regular follow-ups to keep each other on track. The bonus was that because their lines of work were so similar, and yet compatible, they regularly got to team up for assignments. It was also fantastic that they could each talk to someone who understood the work side of things too. Buddying up" was the solution to their regular follow-up problem, they became really good friends, and after over a year of communicating by telephone and computer they finally met each other face-to-face.

Stephanie and Geena's story is not unique. Support and success go hand in hand. An excellent coach and a daily support person or team, can do wonders for getting you on your way. Just think outside the box and wherever you can find the support that you need, seek it, embrace it, cherish it, and if mutually desired, reciprocate it. You can never have too many champions in your corner.

Tips for "Buddying Up" Success

1. Look for someone in a similar situation and ask for their feedback and if it feels right, offering useful suggestions could be just the way to get things rolling.
2. Don't let proximity, or lack thereof, intimidate you. Stefanie and Geena lived over 2,000 miles away from each other and they made it work.
3. Determine how much accountability is needed. Do you need to check in once a week by telephone, or daily via e-mail, or IM?
4. Set goals for buddy sessions too, or determine which overall goals you'd like to focus on with your buddy, and how you will be held accountable.
5. Above all else, enjoy the process. While success is the ultimate goal, enjoy the journey and the company on your way there.

Billionaire Mentality

2007-07-31T10:47:00.000-07:00

Billionaire Mentality
by Jeanna Gabellini

I know, for a fact, that you want to increase your wealth and relationship with money. You wouldn't have read Robert Kiyosaki's books or contacted me if that weren't true. So, here's the question: Are you ready to allow the constant flow of money and prosperity into your life? All it takes is a decision and belief.
Simple, huh?! Easy? Well, you'll have to let go of a great many beliefs that you currently hold onto for dear life. This will be very disruptive to your current sense of security. It will be like jumping out of an airplane. You have to trust that a parachute will open and allow you to drift safely as you enjoy the ride. Did that make your stomach drop? Your heart flutter? Uh-huh. You're getting a sense of this already.

Prosperity

Billionaires trust something that most others don't. There is an abundance of money and resources. A never-ending supply. There is a security and belief that all of their needs will be met. I'm not just talking money and doodads here. I'm talking about everything. Love, knowledge, space, energy, peace, fun, and more. Now all billionaires may not feel all of that, but that is true prosperity. That "knowing and trust" allows you to act more freely. You make decisions based on what you want, not what is possible. Billionaires know it's all possible.

That Lacking Feeling

At any point so far have you thought, "I don't need to be a billionaire" or "I can't imagine that! A millionaire is even beyond me" or "How would I get there?" or "I have to hurry up and do a bunch of stuff to get there"? If yes, then there's a lacking feeling somewhere inside your belief system. Lacking means not enough of something, to be deficient in something. I notice "lack" in clients when they think if they do ___________ they'll have to give up _________. Prosperity means trusting you can have the desired outcome without having to give up anything (except that nasty Gremlin who has you believing those limiting thoughts!). When we see things as black or white, we usually see things as either/or. When abundance is the primary thought, you can have it all. You won't be taking away from anyone else, either.

Lacking feels like a knot in your stomach or a squeezing feeling. fear, arghhh! I went to a beautiful restaurant for dinner Saturday night. The couple I was with kept making comments about the menu prices. It detracted from the beauty of the moment and anticipation of the meal. When you focus on price (lack), you start judging and justifying its worth. If you're in business for yourself, you'll notice the same thing happens when increasing your fee or coming up with prices. The question to be asking yourself is "What do I want?" and "What feels best?". If an expensive dinner freaks you out, don't do it. But notice what beliefs are making that decision for you. If you're focused on paying debt and cutting down on doodads, this decision is aligned with your strategy. But strategy will only get you so far if you have lack lurking behind the scenes.

I've coached folks who are millionaires, with no debt, and they still are plagued with the fear that someday their wealth will disappear. This has them making choices in their lives that aren't truly making them happy. Staying in careers that have them working 24/7. This is not the way life is designed to be. You can let go of the grip you have on what "security" means. You have the choice to go on the same way or uncover more of what's limiting you. As you get smarter, the lack mentality is very subtle but has a huge impact on your life. The "Billionaire Mentality" is available to you right now!

Are You Truly Ready for Prosperity?

Well, are you? Really? Okay. It's pretty simple, but it takes a commitment. You'll have bouts with fear, discomfort, bliss, worry, relief, and more. I co-facilitate a class called "The Prosperity Game." We watch folks who really like the idea of what we're teaching, but whose "gremlins" want to keep making this process hard. They want to figure out, control, push, worry, and get spun in their heads about how to get what they want. It's not fun. Then a few weeks into the class we start challenging them to let go of the past and do something from a place of abundance. When they try it, they see the results that prove this way of thinking works. Then they start practicing in bigger ways. Ah! More proof. Then they start trusting. Then they bliss out. It's not a dream. It's their new reality.

A Kick to Start You

1. Decide to focus on what you want, rather than what you don't want.
2. Ask yourself when making decisions, "If money wasn't an issue what would I do or how would I feel about this issue? If I knew my desire was possible what would I do next?"
3. Surround yourself with people, books, audio tapes, and information that supports you in this quest. This isn't the average man's way of thinking. Most people are hooked into struggle, limitations, and "somedays." Ask your coach or mentor to point out your blind spots in this area.
4. Start noticing who is making decisions for you. Is it your "gremlin" or is it the billionaire who trusts in his/her own brilliance and unlimited resources?
5. If you want this mentality now and you want to make it easy, do "The Prosperity Game." I say this because I know the power of it. It transformed my life more than anything else I've ever done. I say this from the bottom of my heart. I know what's possible for you. You know, too.

There is a way of thinking that some people practice. It's relaxing, fulfilling and great fun. Others watch and try hard to get the same results. They don't understand why it's not unfolding the same way for them. The missing piece is trust. Trust the process, yourself, others and abundance will abound.

Be Inspired, Not Tired

2007-07-27T09:27:00.000-07:00

Be Inspired Not Tired
by Eva Gregory

Do you feel like you are just going through the motions and nothing you truly want in life is coming to fruition? Do you feel tired and drained more often than not? Are there things you know you have to get done, but you are lacking the motivation to do them? How about changing things around so that they become "inspired actions", and not "required actions"?

One definition of inspire is "to exert an animating, enlivening or exalted influence upon". Even the definition sounds fun, does it not? I will go one further and say that it is also powerful and empowering. I call it powerful because it can create a great deal of positive energy, and empowering because you will gain control back over a situation. Can you image finding joy in everything, having life be lively and exciting on a regular basis? Inspired actions are those that you get so excited about that wild horses could not stop you from doing them and will usually flow effortlessly and quickly. Believe me, it IS possible.

How does one become inspired and create a world of inspired actions? It goes back to setting your intentions for what you want, visualizing it, getting into the feeling place "as if" it has happened exactly the way you want it and let the inspired action "come to you". Cool, huh? Sounds easy? It is. But if you get stuck, you can work backwards by focusing on what motivates you to complete your project. Is it your family, having free time to play, or perhaps just the satisfaction of having everything checked off of your "to do" list? Better yet, write down your tasks and your motivations. Things seem to become more concrete, more "real" when they are written down. These tools will help you turn a project or task into something that provides you with major inspiration. Just like Jack.

Jack was in the process of writing what he termed his "great American novel." In fact, he had been in the process for four years and despite what he told his friends and family, he was not feeling very inspired. His novel had become the joke amongst his friends and the proverbial albatross around his neck. When Jack decided to set his intentions and visualize the outcome, he had a difficult time doing this. He realized that he could not get into his feeling place because the story he was writing did not fuel his passion. He could not even visualize himself completing this book. His writing had taken a wrong turn, and instead of backing up or starting over, he had felt compelled to continue because of the expectations of others. Jack was so surprised and energized by this realization that he immediately started outlining the book he wanted to write. Writing had become an inspired action and Jack did not feel like it was a required one.

So, what are you waiting for? There is NO time like the present. Find a little quiet, turn on your favorite music, light a candle, and get busy setting those intentions to create inspired actions. Remember, inspired actions will make you feel alive; before, due to the planning and anticipation, during, as you will be relishing actually putting your desires to action, and after, when you are remembering the task and your feelings while it was being done. So, get out your pen and paper and get busy. The time has come to be inspired, not tired!

Are You Positive or Negative?

2007-07-26T10:46:00.000-07:00

Are you Positive or Negative?
by Eva Gregory

Magnetism is a wonderful thing. We often hear that someone "has a magnetic personality", or that they are "full of magnetism", even that opposites attract "like magnets". Why the fascination with magnetism? Perhaps because the term magnetism implies that the opportunity exists for something to be drawn to you easily and effortlessly. What if that thing is success, fame, or how about money?

Money is the thing that the majority of the population craves, but most people feel they don't have enough of. Why is that? Since we know how strong the powers of attraction are, and that like attracts like, the answer lies in the perception "∑but most people feel they don't have enough of."

For example, let's suppose that you are facing a bag of money. You REALLY want that bag of money. You are standing there thinking of all of the things you can't afford because you don't have the bag of money. You are focused on all the things you can't be, do, or have.

Money has a positive ionic charge, your face - has a positive charge (+) and the back of your head has a negative charge (-). The laws of the Universe say that you and the bag of money are going to continue to repel each other.

So let's imagine that you become frustrated and turn away from the bag of money. (Your negative charge is now facing the positive charge of the bag of money.) You would like to have it, and can think of all of the positive things you would like to do with it, and you are now vibrating positive thoughts. The Laws of Attraction say that you are now in a place where you can attract the bag of money. You have become a money magnet.

When you take a snapshot of your current scenario can you state with sincerity that you are magnetizing money? Have you let go of any limiting beliefs that you have about money? Like financial success is something that happens to others, or that you are undeserving? If money and financial success is your goal how can you become that all powerful magnet?

Allow it!

Allow yourself to let go of any negative thoughts and limiting beliefs that have blocked your success. Allow yourself to believe that you can have the success that you desire. Allow yourself to have the courage to pursue the avenues that will lead you to your financial success. Allow yourself to magnetize the people and scenarios that will help your team assemble effortlessly. Allow your spirit to dance with the knowledge that your have the power to bring what you want to fruition.

You do have what it takes to become a money magnet. You just have to believe in yourself, believe in your goals, and trust that the Universe will do its part once you've done yours.

Are You Careful or Careless?

2007-07-24T09:11:00.000-07:00

Are You Careful or Careless?
by Eva Gregory

The average adult typically utters 40,000 words each day, according to a study performed by Professor Robin Dunbar of Liverpool University. A substantial amount, but have you actually considered how valuable words are? What about how powerful they are? Words have the power to heal, lighten, comfort, and encourage, on the flip side they can wither, hurt, anger and discourage. What a gamut!

What about the role that words play in life. Words are a continuation of our thoughts, only verbalized. Do you always think carefully before you speak? Do you speak with good intentions? While it’s quite normal to have negative thoughts from time to time, and we’ve discussed how to diminish the occurrence of these thoughts. Just because we think it, does not mean that it bears repeating. Thinking something and giving it a voice just solidifies the thought. So if it’s negative, we’ve provided the nourishment for it to take root and sprout – just like a weed.
Do you want to attract negativity or lack? I’ll wager the answer is no. If so, don’t speak of it, about it, or repeat it. Easier said than done? Not really, but one must first become conscious of it when it is occurring. In The One Minute Millionaire there is company whose owner decided to have his employees accept responsibility for what they said by paying a fine for each negative thing that was uttered. He found it quite effective. Can you imagine having to pay for each instance of negativity that is said? Talk about accountability!

Mrs. Morgan, a fifth grade teacher, was heartsick as she listened to the words that were being spoken by her students. They were very negative, often hurtful, callous words that had no business being spoken, least of all to other impressionable, fragile children. Having been on the receiving end of hurtful words during her school days, she knew personally how damaging the long-term effects could be. After a great deal of thought she formulated a plan. She discussed it with the school principal, and after she was given the okay, she sat down to compose a letter to the parents.

The following Monday, she assembled her class and explained her distress over the words that were spoken each day. She told them that the principal and their parents were in agreement with her, and that they wanted the behavior to cease. They students each had 200 minutes of “free” time each week that was used for recess and “fun” activities. She explained that she was given permission to charge them 5 minutes for each instance of “careless speak” that she heard. Like most children they did not take her seriously until about mid-week when the most serious offenders were removed from the classroom because they had no more free time available. By Thursday afternoon she had less than a quarter of her class for free time, and by Friday she had just one student remaining. The children that were removed were put to work in other classrooms, or given additional lessons. The following week Mrs. Morgan saw a substantial improvement in behavior, and after doing this for three months the “careless speak” behavior was almost non-existent. The program was such a success that it was implemented grade by grade until the entire school participated.
Mrs. Morgan committed herself to making a difference. Are you ready to make a commitment? Make the commitment to yourself. The results will be phenomenal. You can begin to attract more positive things in life and improve your relationships. People who share your newfound control for voicing positive things will be attracted to you, and those who already know you will marvel at the new you. Your relationships will gather strength, and new ones will abound.

Let the 40,000 words that you utter each day mean something. Remember to choose your words with care, speak positive words with conviction, and let attraction work its very powerful magic.

Are You Be-ing?

Are you Be-ing?
by Eva Gregory

Remember when you were young and played “pretend”? You could be anything that you wanted to be, there were no boundaries or obstacles. Do you recall the fun that you had being free to decide your path? It was fun wasn’t it? If so, why did you stop? Perhaps because it was time to “grow up” and be responsible? How limiting! Guess what, now’s the time to begin embracing your childhood again.

As adults we often want something, but our belief that we can’t achieve our desires end up standing in our way. It is time to suspend doubt and disbelief. The way to do this is by acting “as if”! DO not wait for the proof that you can be, do, or have what you want. BE it now in your mind. You can have what you want materialize by choosing the be-ing appropriate to your situation, since we become what we think about. The main idea here is that what shows up in your life directly corresponds to who you are be-ing. This said, if you want to make changes to the way things are showing up, your be-ing will need to change first.

Kelsey was beginning to lose hope of ever quitting her “day job”. She had been moonlighting in her home business as a Virtual Assistant for over three years, and still had not managed to come close to making what she was earning at her day job. In desperation Kelsey hired a personal coach. Her coach had her develop an Ideal Client Analysis by assembling a list of all of the qualities that she most wanted her clients to possess. By beginning with this exercise, Kelsey realized that more than half of her clients were not her ideal clients. Some did not pay on time, others tried to monopolize her time, and she even had a couple who were not very nice. Her coach then had her visualize what she thought her life would be like if she only worked with her ideal clients for the next month. Kelsey had visions of more free time, enjoying the work that she was doing for her ideal clients and being paid what she felt her services were worth, in a timely manner. Kelsey was thrilled with the picture that unfolded in her mind. Her coach then asked Kelsey to spend 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at bedtime, visualizing herself as the person that attracted her ideal client.

After one month Kelsey had some amazing things to report. She had gained eight new clients that paid her double what she had been making, and she had started letting go clients that did not fit her ideal client analysis. Kelsey had learned that the person she was be-ing in the beginning was allowing herself to be walked on, and that by creating a new be-ing she would be able to quit her day job rather quickly. It all came down to her choosing the right be-ing in order for her to attain her goals.

One of the best things about games is the safety factor. What ever shows up is fine when it is considered Just a Game. Imagine being able to attract everything you want in life, just by deciding to BE the one that the lifestyle belongs to. How cool is that? Remember to keep it light and above all else, have FUN with it!

Allowing the Objects of Perfection

Allowing the Objects of Perfection
By Eva Gregory

Did you know that the Law of Attraction works perfectly every time? It’s a perfect match for wherever the focus is being held – whether knowingly or subconsciously. Focus on a having a positive new attitude and watch your mood lift and your actions match your desires, think about your lousy day as you’re drifting off to sleep at night and your day may revisit you through your dreams, or your bad experiences could persist the next day too. But it’s even more powerful than just what is happening in the present.

Greta was sitting at the table having a conversation with a woman she met a few minutes earlier at a seminar. For a split second she glanced around the room and recognized the floral arrangement, the linen on the dais and looking to her left, even the gentleman speaking to another seminar attendee. Greta had never been to this particular banquet room in this particular hotel, yet, she knew that her companion was about to start speaking about her occupation and Greta already knew what she was going to say.

What Greta experienced is what most of us call déjà vu. The feeling that you’ve been somewhere, said something, or seen something before and are actually reliving it. How so? According to the laws of the universe, being in complete vibrational harmony is a gateway for tapping into events, experiences, or conversations that have not happened. It’s the ability to decipher things on a mental level before they actually physical unfold. Talk about powerful!

Imagine how much easier life would be if you knew what was coming, could create happiness in your present and could freely create the future. The reality is that with the laws of attraction you can. You can’t change the past, but can even use it as a lesson for how thoughts created a situation, and study the thoughts or vibrations which created the reality to better learn how to make it work for you. Many begin practicing the laws of attraction by making it a game. Focus on driving from destination A to destination B without hitting any lights, finding money each day without looking for it, or always finding a close parking space. When those things continuously show up (and they will) move on to bigger things. Just remember to keep it positive and keep your mind open to receive the things that are being requested.

Déjà vu is not a freak occurrence, but a state of allowing with such focus that the ability to see things with incredible clarity is the result. The workings of the universe are the key to manifestation. It is possible to be all, have all and live all that is desired. It is possible to create the perfect situation for you. Learn to recognize and practice being and allowing what is “perfect for you” to exist and it will be. Like a conductor for a symphony, you need to learn to orchestrate exactly what is desired for the ultimate life experience.

A Whole New Outlook In An Instant

A Whole New Outlook In An Instant
By Eva Gregory

Ever meet someone who is always chipper, always has a kind word to say, can be sick in bed but still wears a smile. Why? What makes two people look at the same situation and observe two completely different things? Is it perception or something deeper?

Individuals who are happy and can always find the positive in a situation are masters of a skill that everyone should learn. They’ve mastered the art of flipping the switch on their perspective. They’ve learned that life is simply a perspective and just how good or bad it seems is dependent on their take on the situation. Literally that life can be changed in a snap. And that it’s necessary to turn down all of the negative talk that’s going on, and focus on the positive flip side that can be silenced by the sheer volume of the negativity. There’s always an opposite. The goal to having positive energy in life is to be able to recognize when negativity is surfacing and squash it like a bug.

It’s a lesson Gina learned just in time. Gina was in the midst of planning her wedding and was waging war with the wedding planner on yet another detail, when she noticed her groom laughing with one of the assistants. When Randy and the assistant spied Gina coming their way, they immediately stopped laughing. Gina was not having fun and could only focus on all of things still outstanding. Randy on the other hand was relaxed and relieved because he realized that hiring a wedding planner was the best use of their funds. While they still had to be consulted, they were not responsible for remembering every detail, organizing every vendor, and keeping track of the wedding schedule or the budget. Randy was enjoying his role in the planning process, but Gina was clearly flustered. On the way to dinner Gina blew up at Randy for not taking things seriously enough. Randy remarked that they were paying someone quite well in order for them not to have to stress so much about the “little stuff”, but Gina was fuming. Early the next morning Gina sat down with her planner and voiced her frustration. The planner remarked that Gina needed to look at the situation differently. She needed to focus on everything they had accomplished, instead of what was to come. In addition, she also remarked that Gina should appreciate that she did not have to0 worry about the details, because the details were her job and focus on the task of being the beautiful bride. Gina didn’t know how she’d done it, but her planner made her feel so much better. The planner didn’t know it but she had just made the wedding a lot less stressful for everyone involved. Gina was more relaxed, the planner had a much less hands-on bride, and Randy was able to go with the flow.

Like Gina found out, sometimes it takes help to switch a perspective, but whether it’s done on your own or with a little outside help, the outcome is well worth the effort. Sometimes it just takes a little practice, or you may even require a role model. So don’t be afraid to emulate someone who just seems to have a handle on optimistic, but keep the following joke in mind:

Worried that their son was too optimistic, the parents of a little boy took him to a psychiatrist. Trying to dampen the boy’s spirits, the psychiatrist showed him to a room piled high with nothing but horse manure. Yet, instead of displaying distaste, the little boy clambered to the top of the pile, dropped to all fours, and began digging.

“What do you think you’re doing?” the psychiatrist asked.

“With all this manure,” the little boy replied, beaming, “there must be a pony in here somewhere.”

Go on, get on out there and get ready to change the quality of your life in an instant. All if takes is a flip. And maybe a shovel?

Do YOU Have A Story for 'Chicken Soup for the Prosperous Soul'?

2006-06-20T11:35:00.000-07:00

Jeanna and I were brainstorming after a phone conversation with Jack Canfield about stories we want for the new book, Chicken Soup For The Prosperous Soul®, that we are co-authoring.

Our intention is for this book to break all records of any Chicken Soup book to date for sales and for inspiring others to actions that change their life positively!

Jack is passionate about this topic. So are we! And we want your story! You do not need to be good at writing to tell your story. When it comes from the heart, it will unfold easily. You can either write your story, take from a story you've already written or in some cases, we can interview you and have it transcribed.

Recipe for A Winning Chicken Soup for the Soul® Story

A Chicken Soup for the Soul® story is an inspirational, true story about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. It is a story that opens the heart and rekindles the spirit. It is a simple, inter-denominational, living art piece that touches the soul of the readers and helps them discover basic principles they can use in their own lives. They are personal and often filled with emotion and drama. They are filled with vivid images created by using the five senses. In some stories, the readers feel that they are actually in the scene with the people.

Chicken Soup stories have a beginning, middle and an ending that often closes with a punch, creating emotion rather than simply talking about it. Chicken Soup for the Soul® stories have heart, but also something extra…an element that makes us all feel more hopeful, more connected, more thankful, more passionate and better about life in general. A story that causes tears, laughter, goosebumps or any combination of these. A good story covers the range of human emotions.

The most powerful stories are about people extending themselves, or performing an act of love, service or courage for another person.

Guidelines for a Chicken Soup for the Soul® Story

1. Tell an exciting, sad or funny story about something that has happened to you or someone you know. Make sure that you introduce the character(s).

2. Tell your story in a way that will make the reader cry, laugh or get goose bumps (the good kind!) Don’t leave anything out — how did you feel?

3. The story should start with action; it should include a problem, issue or situation. It should include dialogue and the character should express their feelings though the conflict or situation. It should end in a result, such as a lesson learned, a positive change or pay-off.

4. Above all, let it come from your HEART! Your story is important!

What a Chicken Soup for the Soul® story IS NOT:

1. A sermon, an essay or eulogy.

2. A term paper, thesis, letter or journal entry.

3. About politics or controversial issues.

4. A “My Grandma Just Died, and Let Me Tell You What A Wonderful Person She Was” or “Let Me Tell You About My Disease or Operation” or “I Gave a Bum Some Money, Aren’t I Incredible?” or “Why My Mother Is the Best Mother” or a personal testimony that may mean nothing to the reader.

Chapters

Why this book? Because your story will be inspiration and proof to the masses that ordinary folks CAN have all the prosperity they desire. It doesn't matter who you are or what your background has been up this point, prosperity is your natural way of being.

The information presented below will help you to better understand what this new book will be about. These are the topics we need your stories for.

Defining Moments in Life: Pivotal moments in your life in which you had a shift or aha around prosperity and abundance.

Acts of Faith: You took a risk or an action step where you had no physical guarantee of the outcome and you went it for it anyway.

Creating Space to Create Prosperity: Making space in your life to allow in more prosperity - whether it was time away from work, cleaning things out or making space on your calendar: being willing to take time out, even when you think you can't.

Perseverance and Commitment: Example: The original "Chicken Soup for the Soul" book was turned down by over 140 publishers before they got someone to say "YES!" When did you stay with something thru thick and thin to have the outcome be amazing?

Acting As If: You acted like you were already living your dream before it manifested. Example: Acting like a millionaire before the money is in the bank.

Inspired Actions: Only taking actions that felt inspired or you felt joyful about; following wild hair ideas that led to abundance.

Trusting Your Intuition: Even though it didn't make sense, you followed your gut.

Transforming Thoughts: You focused on what you wanted instead of what you didn't want and got more of what you did want.

Letting Go to Let It In: YOU stopped resisting, controlling, forcing and pushing your way to abundance and allowed it in.

Living Your Dream: How you followed your passion and prosperity came!

Attitude of Gratitude: How did gratitude impact your prosperity?

Givers Gain: By giving you began receiving. What was your gift from giving?

Impossible to Possible: Overcoming obstacles on your path to prosperity; Claiming prosperity as your birthright.

Also include a bio—a short paragraph (of about 50 words or less) about you, promoting your latest book, project, etc. It has been reported to us that those paragraphs have been great advertisements for sales of books and other endeavors. Dr. Cherie Carter Scott, author of If Life is a Game, These are the Rules, has sold hundreds of thousands of books as a result of people writing her after reading her bio in A 2nd Helping of Chicken Soup for the Soul. She also appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show as a result of this!

If the story you wrote is published, you will be paid upon publication of the story. Payment amount will be determined at that time.

It can take up to three or four years for Chicken Soup for the Soul® books to develop. Please be patient, as this is an important, yet time-consuming process. If your story is chosen for a future edition of Chicken Soup for the Soul® or any other projects, you will be notified by mail and your permission to print it will be requested. However, if your story is not chosen, you will not receive a letter due to the fact that there are future books for which it may be considered for.

Feel free to submit more than one story if you’d like. If you do not have a personal story of your own, but have a pre-published favorite or a story written by someone else, these stories are welcomed as well. Don’t forget to include who the author is, source, etc.

Sample Story

Please find a sample Chicken Soup for the Soul story below. We thought it would be helpful for you to see what kind of story we're looking for:

The Price of A Dream

I grew up poor - living in the projects with six brothers, three sisters, a varying assortment of foster kids, my father and a wonderful mother, Scarlette Hurley. We had little money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream.

My dream was athletics. By the time I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything that moved on the football field. I was also lucky: My high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but taught me how to believe in myself. He taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction. One particular incident with Coach Jarvis changed my life forever.

It was the summer between my junior and senior years, and a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket - cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect of a summer job was enticing, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.

Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn't be playing. I was dreading this, spurring myself with the advice my mother preached to us: "If you make your bed, you have to lie in it."

When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. "You have your whole life to work," he said. "Your playing days are limited. You can't afford to waste them."

I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment in me.

"How much are you going to make at this job, son?" he demanded.

"Three twenty-five an hour," I replied.

"Well," he asked, "is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?"

That question, the plainness of it, laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I dedicated myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $20,000 contract. I already had a football scholarship to the University of Arizona, which led me to an education, two consensus selections as All-American linebacker and being chosen seventh overall in the first round of the NFL draft. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the house of my dreams. --Ricky C. Hunley, Chicken Soup for the Sports Fan's Soul

With total bliss and appreciation,

Eva Gregory and Jeanna Gabellini
