Olive oil is a staple in the diet of Mediterranean countries. It is used not only in cooking, but also used liberally mixed with vinegar as a dressing, and even with cracked black pepper as a dipping sauce for foccacia bread and they even use olive oil for hair. 40 years ago, when research of the Greeks living on the island of Crete, researchers where amazed by the results. Despite the high fat content in the traditional Greek diet, the residents of the island had an exceptionally low occurrence of heart disease.

Recently, at a public function where I was the Toastmaster, an elegant lady in her early 30s walked up to me and asked: 'Can a woman change a man?' Instead of giving her a direct answer, I asked her: 'can anybody change you from being you?' She said: 'No'. The truth is that no woman can change any man except the man himself decides to change.

Imagine that you could boost your confidence, courage, and compassion by 100% in the next three months. Imagine that you could learn five new skills you've been dying to learn all your life. Imagine that you could finally experience the kind of intimacy, connection, and love you've been longing for.

Sounds great, doesn't it? And it's possible -- more than possible. But you might be surprised to learn that the #1 place to discover this things doesn't come from learning to be better, nicer, happier, stronger. Actually, the place seems somewhat ironic and backwards.

Once in a while a book comes along that can change your way of thinking for the better. A book that free's the mind of its old limitations. A change in the mind or in the ways of thinking on a very important topic. That mind-set is limiting you and keeping you from the greater awareness that the mind is actually capable of. This release of limitation brings freedom to the physical reality of your world and this also translates to the world at large around you.

MONEY

Do you understand what money really is? Or what it really does to people?

Love. You may notice that I made that an entire sentence. That one little four-letter word can easily be a sentence on its own, an entire book, or the meaning of life. I doubt there has ever been a person on this planet who has not at some stage pondered the meaning of this little word. Men have lived for it and men have died for it.

Love and God are probably the two words that encompass infinite connotations.

First of all, you have to trust that you are perfect at the core of your original mind, at the centre of your heart. Pull out the energy from the thoughts of your own unworthiness which the personality has acquired through the unconscious identification of memory.

In the normal course, its our disturbed mind that creates a problem and the same mind seeks the solution in an unconscious way. Now what we need is to still the mind and see that perfection was never lost but was obscured by the disturbance of thoughts.

When we are faced with making a change we often feel like we dont know what to do. The kicker is that USUALLY we do know what to do - it just happens to scare us a little bit. This fear is USUALLY a sign that it is exactly what you should be doing even though you will have to

step out of your comfort zone

take a risk

create a new course of action

CHANGE YOUR LIFE

We USUALLY keep this from happening by listening to the Daunting Doubts:

What if something terrible happens

What if I wont know how to handle it

At its core, your sense of self-esteem or self-worth has a huge impact on how you live your life.

It frames how you feel about yourself, how you relate to others, how much you achieve in your work - and how you feel about pretty much everything.

In a recent article the well-known speaker Zig Ziglar said, "Many years ago as a young, aspiring speaker, I heard an older speaker who was quite philosophical say that you are where you are because that's exactly where you want to be."

Not everyone is programmed to be a successful
businessperson, many people make it but many more fail
along the way.

A large part of your future success will depend on your
P.A.D.

Thats your Passion, your Attitude and your Desire, these
three things will be more important than anything else in
achieving your success.

You must approach what you do with Passion, a positive
Attitude and the Desire to reach your end goal at all cost,
take away any one of these three elements and your chances
of succeeding are lessened dramatically.

What I am about to tell you will take a very open mind to comprehend. So please, open your mind.

No matter how our beliefs, philosophies or laws may differ, we are all bound together by our thoughts, feelings and actions. They are the basic principles of life. They apply no matter what our personal beliefs may be. They are our guidelines to order and structure and when we understand and apply them correctly they raise our vibrations and bring us our true form.
