Keep the inspirational gauge in the green…
I have made it my personal endeavour. The good news is that there are numerous publications out there available for types of people, situations, ages and environments.
I remember reading an article in the Oprah magazine; I think it was the October 2007 publication that really made me think. If I am not mistaken it was from Martha Beck's anti-complain campaign; Face it: the only thing bitching does is make you bitchy, and whining just leaves you whiney…. Hum, food for thought; let's make a stew my friends.
Check out Mike Lipkin. Wow, talk about the gauge being green!
If you don’t know who he is, he is one of North America’s preeminent coaches and motivators. Look at the latest podcast on his Webcast: Be a Candidate for what’s Possible. Very Good Mike! Thank you! I love that parody…to launch your personal campaign every day! Check it out at http://www.mikelipkin.com/index.php. Awesome!
He has Seven Personal Campaign Rules, and the one I am hooked on is number Seven.
7. Stay The Course. Life is a long march. We all go through our own seasons. Sometimes, we may need to lie low, but most the time we need to blaze our own campaign trail. That’s where the action is. That’s where the rewards are. It’s about stamina, mojo and resilience. And age has nothing to do with it. Some of the most energized people I know are well north of 70.
How best to put it…

Hi, I so agree with the setting of expectations that are often unrealialistic. I do it all the time and then get disappointed time and again that I did not acheive what I set out for myself. I think that this is a very common thing that we all do to ourselves. This is needless stress yet we do it all the time. If we would follow what "the secret" preaches as well as Dr. Wayne Dyer, we would be a lot happier. Their focus is on being grateful that the sun came up, that we have family and freinds that love us.....all the simple yet complex stuff....If we would focus on the basics we would be a lot happier in general as people. I think I am due to read Wayne Dyer's "spiritual solution to every problem". He has a way to make me feel light hearted and happy....a "state" that I love to be in when it does happen. Anyways, I can go on forever....Talk to you soon!!
