Everything will change when your desire to move on exceeds your desire to hold on.

How are your goals coming....wondering if there is still room for you? have you decided to restart? been a little slower than you planned?

Stretch your hands as far as they reach,
grab all you can grab.
- Yoruba proverb
You look inside a packed moving van, but you cannot find a place for the last box. You take a chance, climb over the other boxes and find there is just enough room at the top. If there were only room for one at the top, we would have only one brand of chocolate chip cookies, one brand of tea and only one kind of potato chips. We must never allow ourselves to be guided or stopped by what anyone else is doing. We must never allow ourselves to think we can only go so far because others are already there. When we reach up, stand on our toes, stretch our hands out and grab as much as we can hold. If we want to keep our hands full and the goodness flowing to us, we must never, ever forget to say "thank you" for every little thing. Ylanya Vanzant
THE NEXT PLACE AT THE TOP, IS SAVED FOR YOU!!!!!!!

A note from 'A special Rey of Sunshine" in my life. (My Son)
Advice " LOVE THE LOVE...NOT THE LOVER"
Funny how I was just pondering this amazing thing called..."Love" and how as humans we fail, whether we are the giver or the receiver. But when we give Love and Receive Love - the world just gets beautiful and so so does the Lover.
What a great way to start the day.

Question Your Life
What is your intention in doing what you are doing?
Throughout the day, continually ask yourself why you are doing what you are doing. Is it for selfish, manipulative for fearful reasons, or is it for honest service with integrity? Maybe you will see that much of your activity lacks purpose & we can get really stuck in old patterns. This is a great way to become more conscious. Your intention and motives are fundamental to the results you will receive.

Which are, according to you, the new important criteria for a Leader?
1. Leave our egos at the front door and do brilliant work - that adds remarkable value for your customers.
2. Build a phenomenally great team. A mediocre team results in a mediocre company.
3. Innovate and disrupt the way you think and perform daily in hot pursuit of something even better.
4. Build deep relationships.
5. Be authentic and transparent. Winning companies show they are the real deal and live their brand.

Did the economic crisis change the expectations of companies towards leaders?
Of course. Given the behaviors of so many once-respected leaders, stakeholders are now demanding only the highest standards of performance, transparency and ethics of their leaders. In The Leader Who Had No Title, I write: "it could take you 20 years to build a great reputation and 20 seconds to lose it - in one act of bad judgment."

What characterizes a leader?
There isn't just one thing that makes an exceptional leader - just like there isn't just one thing that made Mozart exceptional or Picasso great. The best leaders have a bias towards innovation, are ruthlessly focused on just a few things, have remarkable capacity to attract superb talent, have strong resilience in the face of turbulence and are often radically optimistic (while being wildly practical).

7 Fundamental Principals that are life changing to truly create a Life Changing Life
Creating a Life that you Desire.
1) Purpose:
Asks and answers why..why are you doing what you are doing, why are you here, why is what your doing important to you? This is more compelling than a goal. This gets you out of bed when you do not feel like it.
Explore these questions over this next week.
What is the reason that I am doing what I am doing.
When you define this, you will determine what your inspiration is...and you will be motivated internally.

What Doubles A Woman's Risk For Alzheimer's?
Dr. Dharma™ - What Doubles A Woman's Risk For Alzheimer's?
Dear Bonnie:
A just released study confirms what scientists have been theorizing
for many years and what I've been reporting to you.
This is a serious study involving participants in what is called "The
Prospective Study of Women.
While it took place in Sweden, it applies to women world-wide.
And get this: the ladies in the study were followed for not 1 year,
not 5 years not even 10 or 20.
The study went on for 35 years, making it the longest study in
history to evaluate the relationship between this important amino acid
level in your blood and dementia.
The lead researcher in the study revealed the results as follows:
"High levels of homocysteine in the blood double a woman's risk of
losing her memory."
He went on to say, " Besides Alzheimer's the risk for dementia of any
kind was 70% higher.
Homocysteine is an amino acid found in your blood.
High Homocysteine is usually the result of lower Vit B 12 and Folate
levels even when you get the so-called RDA or recommended daily
allowances, which are horribly low and will barely prevent you from
falling over let alone cure an issue like this.
So here's what I prescribe to keep your homocysteine levels in check:
Make sure you're taking 6 of my high potency multi vitamin/mineral
Gold Caps a day.
They contain both Vit B 12 and Folate in amounts that will keep your
homocysteine levels in a good range.
Plus many other very important compounds like Vit B's and Vit C and
Vit E, all shown to lower your risk of Alzheimer's when taken together.
They also have minerals such as magnesium that help you stay quick,
sharp, and smart.
Stay well women!

**8 Reasons Why Healthy Food is NOT More Expensive
This is probably the biggest excuse I hear from people as to why they don't eat healthy... most people have a false impression that healthy food too expensive. But I'll show you just why this is absolutely ridiculous.
Generally, people complain that prices are too high for foods such as:
*organic free-range eggs vs standard supermarket eggs
*healthy grass-fed meats instead of standard unhealthy grain-fed meats
*organic produce vs conventional produce (there are some times when this doesn't matter, which I'll talk about in an upcoming newsletter)
*cooking natural unprocessed meals vs fast food meals
Here are some things to consider:
1. People complain about the price of organic free range eggs that are $3.50 per dozen. However, those same people will buy a $2.00 soda EVERY DAY of the week, which is nothing but chemicals and high fructose corn syrup.
The dozen eggs will give you several days worth of all of the B vitamins, selenium, phosphorus, and dozens of other vitmins and minerals that you need. The dozen eggs will also give you approximately 80-90 gms of some of the most bio-available protein available. Plus there's the healthy fats, omega-3's, lutein, and more.
I don't care if eggs went up to $10.00/dozen... it would still be a bargain!
Why don't more people just skip the $2.00 sodas that they drink each day and put that $60.00/month towards healthy food instead?
2. People complain about the price of healthy foods vs just getting fast food... meanwhile they pull up to the fast-food drive-in in their $50,000 car.
Where are the priorities? Obviously, this person is saying that their car is more important to them than their health. For some reason, they can't seem to understand that their car isn't gonna matter when they die of a heart attack!
Why not drive around a cheaper car and use the extra funds to buy healthier food?
3. People complain about the cost of healthy foods, so they resort to eating cheap junk food... meanwhile they are spending $200 or more per month on blood pressure drugs, type-2 diabetes drugs, etc.
Yet for some reason, they don't seem to grasp the concept that eating healthy can fully reverse their high blood pressure and type-2 diabetes. Yes, fully reverse!
Why not put that $200 per month towards eating healthier and working out instead of on drugs that have side effects and are draining their wallet? Hmmm.
4. People complain about the cost of healthy foods, yet the horrendous food supply and resulting poor health of the nation causes higher health care costs for everybody. Where's the REAL cost?
5. People complain about the cost of healthy foods, yet these same people seem to be able to afford the fanciest new cell phones, ipods, laptops, big screen TVs, and way too many cable TV stations to ever be able to watch. I guess their priorities are saying that those electronics and watching 4 hours of TV per day are more important than their health.
6. People complain about the cost of healthy foods, yet the pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other poor farming practices (such as factory farm feedlot wastes) that go into producing unhealthy factory farm junk food end up creating costly environmental cleanups (which can increase your taxes) and deteriorate health.
7. People will balk at the price of a healthy grass-fed steak or organic produce, but they will spend $100's per month on cigarettes, and drinking twenty $6 beers out at the bars every weekend.
Btw, if you want to support a farmer that's doing things correctly, in a healthy sustainable manner, you can get some of the highest quality grass-fed meats, wild fish, and healthy snacks right online here:
http://healthygrassfed.2ya.com
8. And lastly, people tend to generally view food PRICE as the most important aspect in choosing food, as opposed to food QUALITY. But this makes no sense whatsoever.
I bet anything that many of those same people that choose food based on price (instead of quality) choose their clothes based on quality, their electronics based on quality, their cars based on quality, their homes based on quality, their jewelry based on quality, etc, etc.
Once again...priorities! Why do so many people value quality on "material" goods, but don't value quality when choosing food, which is going to determine their health, happiness, how good they look, and how long they live.
It's absurd if you think about it.
Alright, rant over for today!
If you thought any of these items below were healthy, you're going to be SHOCKED about what you read inside our Fat Burning Kitchen program:
*Canola Oil, soybean oil, etc
*Whole grain breads or crackers
*Tofu or soymilk
*so-called "energy" drinks
*Protein bars
*Skim milk
*Rice cakes
*Sports drinks
*Low-carb "designer foods"
*Low-fat "designer foods"
ALL OF THEM ARE COMPLETE JUNK MAKING YOU FATTER!

Keep Your Power and Strength
We are approaching the end of the first month of 2010, a time when most of the resolutions we set in the hope of the new year have faded and we succumb to the gravitational pull of the past. Yes its become easier to fall back into complacency.
Can you see already what the dream stealers in your life this year are going to be? There are always a few patterns, behaviors or impulses that lurk beneath the surface of your consciousness, waiting to whittle away at your self-esteem and veer you off into those dead-end cycles. Maybe you think you can just have one drink, one cupcake, one Coca Cola, or one day off from your exercise program. The problem with these dream stealers is that they lurke in the closets of your life and you begin to give in to them, thinking that they are the truth, giving your power away to them, letting go of your dreams and goals. Thinking it just might now be possible.
When did you give your power over to these dream stealers...when did you fell your energy begin to slow down? when did you decided that some urge, impulse or feeling could direct the level of success and achievement you experience in your future? These are the questions that you have to use to challenge the urges, the impulses, and the destructive repetitive patterns that keep you wound up tight inside and stuck in your robotic predictable past.
This is the year, this is the time, this is the day to reclaim your power. Isnt it your time?
Will you join me in a 21 day Cleanse and Rejuevenation program.
Feb 1-21.
If you have a desire to succeed, be energized, reach your desires, Get your Body in great shape, Get your "Happiness Account" filling up, and Get your Bank account filling up, then follow our blog. and please let me know how you are doing...
This Weeks Work...
(1) Fess up to whatever it is that you listen to -- the voice, the internal conversation, the feelings, the fear -- that can suck you into the rat hole of self-despair.
(2) Now ask yourself, What am I reading for growth?
When did I last cleanse my body?
Who do I talk to - for masterminding? Who do I need for support?
What are my dreams...are they written out clearly? for this month?
For this Year?
(3) Take the actions to reclaim your power.
It's not too late to arrive at the end of this year feeling accomplished, inspired and in awe of who you've become. Having the best year of your life is a one-hour-at-a-time process. Trust me. You have the power and the strength to win! -- one choice at a time. You can do it.

If you have a desire to succeed, be energized, reach your desires, Get your Body in great shape, Get your "Happiness Account" filling up, and Get your Bank account filling up, then follow our blog. and please let me know how you are doing...
This Weeks Work...
(1) Fess up to whatever it is that you listen to -- the voice, the internal conversation, the feelings, the fear -- that can suck you into the rat hole of self-despair.
(2) Now ask yourself, What am I reading for growth?
When did I last cleanse my body?
Who do I talk to - for masterminding? Who do I need for support?
What are my dreams...are they written out clearly? for this month?
For this Year?
(3) Take the actions to reclaim your power.
It's not too late to arrive at the end of this year feeling accomplished, inspired and in awe of who you've become. Having the best year of your life is a one-hour-at-a-time process. Trust me. You have the power and the strength to win! -- one choice at a time. You can do it.

I know I have said this before...
As I sit looking at the fruit on the trees...I must say I think it is a little cool for them with but still what a beautiful setting of palm trees, mountains, fruit trees...it all makes me smile.
(did i mention how I love Palm Dessert)
but I picked oranges and grapefruit yesterday...
I thought of the metaphor...there is so much fruit ripe for the picking in my life.
There is so much greatness, and ripe for the picking.
Review your vision board today.
As I come upon the end of January I always review my vision board and that is when
I do the revamp for the next 365 days.
Guess what....its almost all happened...so how exciting to do it all again.
Review your capacity to
BE More!
DO More!
HAVE more of the life you desire!
Why you? Why Now?
Let's face it - - things as we knew them are rapidly changing. There seems to be less of almost everything and fewer people have a hold on what is available. The systems and structures we once relied and depended upon seem to be failing or falling. If you listen to the world reports, we seem to be at the mercy of things and people over which we have no control.
Here Is A Dose Of The Truth!
You have more power at your disposal than you could ever use or imagine!
That's right! You are POWERFUL! You probably knew that already but, the question is - - Are you using your personal power;
EFFECTIVELY
EFFICIENTLY
CONSISTENTLY
In every area of your life OR - -
Have you been frightened into inaction and stagnation?
What are you committed to this week in your life?
Can you do it with powerful enthusiasm?

I want to share this from one of my favorite authors.
Robyn Sharma
Pick up any one of his books and get ready for inspiration. Start with "The Monk who sold his Farrari" You will love it.
Or Begin with The Alchemist!
Lets Make our Year a very succcessful growth Year.
Here we are on the road to YOUR Success!!!
62 WAYS TO MAKE 2010 YOUR BEST YEAR YET
1. Remember that leadership isn't about your position. It's about your influence.
2. Get fit like a pro athlete.
3. Lift people up versus tearing people down.
4. Protect your good name. An impeccable reputation takes a lifetime to build. And 60 seconds to lose.
5. Surround yourself with positive, ethical people who are committed to excellence.
6. Remember that even a 1% daily innovation rate amounts to at least a 100% rate of innovation in 100 days.
7. Believe in your dreams (even when others laugh at them).
8. Measure your success, not by your net worth but by your self worth (and how happy you feel).
9. Take an intelligent risk every 24 hours. No try-No Win.
10. Read "Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist".
11. Watch "Man on Wire".
12. Regardless of your title at work, be a team builder.
13. Remember that business is all about relationships and human connections.
14. Say "please" more.
15. Say "thank you" more.
16. Know your Big 5: the five things that need to happen by the end of this year for you to feel its been your best year yet.
17. Read your Big 5 every morning while the rest of the world is asleep.
18. Read "As You Think". At least twice this year.
19. Be willing to fail. It's the price of greatness.
20. Focus less on making money and more on creating value.
21. Spend less, save more. Put 50% of your income into your savings if you want a big Year! Start with 10% if needed and grow up to 50% Just for one year.
22. Leave everything you touch better than you found it.
23. Be the most positive person in every room you're in.
24. Run your own race.
24. Stay true to your deepest values and best ideals.
25. Write a handwritten thank you note to a customer/friend/loved one every day.
26. When you travel, send love letters to your kids on hotel stationary. In time, they'll have a rich collection to remember your travels by.
27. Read "Atlas Shrugged".
28. Be a problem solver versus a trouble maker.
29. Rather than doing many things at mediocrity do just a few things-but at mastery.
30. Honor your parents.
31. Commit to doing great work-whether anyone notices it or not. It's one of life's best sources of happiness.
32. Give more than you receive (another of the truths of happiness).
33. Have your 1/3/5/10/25 years goals recorded on paper and review them weekly.
34. Be patient. Slow and steady wins the race. The only reason businesses that went from zero to a billion in a year or two get featured in magazines is because 99% of businesses require a lot more time to win.
34. Underpromise and then overdeliver.
35. See part of your job as "a developer of people" (whether you work in the boardroom or the mailroom).
36. Wear your heart on your sleeve. When people see you're real, they'll fall in love with you.
37. Be authentic versus plastic.
38. Read "The Alchemist". This is an amazing Book. I am going to start to read it again!
39. Remember that life wants you to win. So get out of your own way.
40. Consider that behind every fear lives your next level of growth (and power).
41. Eat less food.
42. Drink more water.
43. Rest when you need to.
44. Read "SUCCESS" magazine.
45. Write your eulogy and them live your life backwards.
46. Demand the best from yourself.
47. Remember that the more you go to your limits, the more your limits will expand.
48. See everything that happens to you as an opportunity to grow (and therefore, as a precious gift).
49. Be obsessed with learning and self-development.
50. Become comfortable alone (you are the only person you get to be with your whole life).
51. Smile. It's a stunningly effective way to win in business and life.
52. Reflect on the shortness of life.
53. Be bold when it comes to your dreams but gentle with those you love.
54. Remember that success is dangerous because it can kill drive/innovation/passion and going the extra mile. Be successful yet stay hungry.
55. Read "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin".
56. Be of deep value to this world.
57. Own beautiful things but don't let them own you.
58. Use excellent words.
59. Laugh more.
60. Don't complain, gossip or be negative.
61. Plan as if you'll live forever but live as if you'll die tomorrow.
62. Feel free to pass these lessons on to those you want to help.
