PowerGems



Getting better at ANY human task quickly brings better results. Without a doubt, attitude supercedes aptitude in determining your altitude. The faster you focus on this, the faster you'll see far, far more of the results you most desire.

It's vital that you understand that superior methods are a direct result of superior attitudes. You are in no position to alter the axioms of life. They haven't changed in several thousand years; it's no great wager that such change is imminent. The only thing that DOES change is the human ability to change; to improve, to ask better questions, to produce better answers, and thereby move up the ladder most desired by any specific individual, which in this case refers, of course, to you. The methods themselves haven't changed in thousands of years.
Thirty-two thousand (and counting) human skills, powers, and talents. One stands out far and above as the most underrated, underused of them all. Tapping into this power more efficiently today, here and now, is absolutely guaranteed to produce unprecedented results in your life -- ready for this? -- within the next 24 hours. THOUSANDS of masters and millionaires have said so, and proven it to be so -- and if you knew better, we'd see you DOING it better, wouldn't we? Well, here's your shot, yet again; your chance to make it better... NOW.
Two women receive flowers from their respective guys. One melts with love and hugs him, while the other demands to know what he's up to, why he's being nice, and he'd better 'fess up now.

A flight is delayed three hours due to bad weather. 148 passengers grumbling, moaning and groaning for the whole three hours and even into the new flight. One couple, the only two people among 150 passengers, decide to use those three hours to make a written plan of where they'd like to be in five years, and tell jokes, and even exchange a few hugs, thoroughly enjoying the delay.
One of the 42,000 Americans who responded to NASA's call for citizens to apply for acceptance into the elite corps of astronauts was a teacher. Despite the enormous odds against it, he continued to make the grade cut after cut, even into the final 100 candidates, then being accepted into the training program. He found that his students and friends, family and co-workers, all offered support for his cherished dream.
He didn't make the final cut, & when the shuttle blasted off on a rocket from Kennedy Space Center, no one doubted his disappointment, which lasted under one minute as he, along with the world, saw the shuttle explode in the sky, killing all aboard.
Epictetus taught us,
"When anything external distresses us, it is not the event which causes us pain; rather, our response to it, and this we have the power to revoke at every given moment."
The only people who understand that sentence are those who live it on a day to day basis by focusing on the solution, rather than just the problem.
Abraham Lincoln further sealed his place in history among wise men when he articulated the thought that a person is just about as happy as they make up their mind to be. On the surface, that statement appears simple. Rest assured there are multiple layers to this idea. How sad that you don't have the time to invest just five consecutive minutes thinking, really thinking about the profoundly powerful nature of Mr. Lincoln's statement.
Those who invest those 5 minutes quickly yield the sweet fruit of wisdom and its attendant profit. It's so incredibly simple, and powerful; why are you not tapping into it in this very hour to dramatically alter so many different facets of your life?

One of the earliest self-help recordings was a powerful piece by Earl Nightingale, offered in that gravelly, whiskey-kissed voice. He called it The Strangest Secret, comprised of six simple words that change the world of every human who understands it
at least one level beyond the obvious.
