As a youth I was fascinated with the art of taxidermy. A few days ago I was visiting a neighbor who was showing me two huge fish that he had caught which were now stuffed and mounted on his wall. I found myself thinking, "Wow, those look real!" The appearance of a live fish was what the taxidermist was going for, although it was mostly just stuffing. Sometimes we call our material belongings "stuff". Real people have deep and meaningful relationships. If we get too attached to possessions, perhaps we too have become "stuff"ed. Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have. - Doris Mortman

My wife posted this thought on my facebook (http://www.facebook.com/drpauljenkins) wall this week: ...."A pessimist and an optimist approached Goliath. The pessimist thought, 'He's so big, I can't possibly kill him. The optimist thought, 'He's so big, I can't possibly miss!" Mary Ellen Edmunds. A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; and optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. - Winston Churchill ___________________________________________ Join me this weekend (September 26th) in Salt Lake City for the official launch of The Women's Information Network - Vicki and I will be show hosts for this exciting new network for women.

Recently I was hiking with a group of boy scouts up a rather steep trail in the mountains near my home. After a few miles, some of the boys were really feeling the strain of the hike, and would occasionally stop on the trail. They would sometimes look forward with a hint of discouragement in their eyes because it seemed as if we would never reach the destination. The only way to get there is to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Keep moving forward! Constant effort and frequent mistakes are the stepping stones to genius. - Elbert Hubbard P.S.

In his book, Luck By Design, Richie Goldman points out that you are going to have to figure it out now or later: there are certain laws in life that can’t be avoided. Among the absolutely predictable and certain laws of life are that you WILL experience pleasure, pain, loss, gain, disappointment, success, frustration, satisfaction, death, and life. How you respond to each of these defines who you are and the course of your life. (Hint: you handle all of these the same way… with gratitude, grace, and humility). Life is not going to hand you what you want; you’re going to have to create it. - Richard E. Goldman

An acorn does not become a great oak by scurrying around frantically searching for leaf molecules and bark molecules to build the tree. It simply exists right where it is and uses the resources immediately available to it. The resources you need to solve absolutely everything you currently face are right there around you. Start with what you know to do and then the next steps will become evident.www.revistasambo.com/need-money-quick True greatness is starting where you are, using what you have, doing what you can.understood - Arthur Ashe

Many people go through life constantly searching for the way to happiness. They don’t seem to understand that the way IS happiness. If you want to be a productive and successful person, work on your happiness. I read an article this week by Arthur C. Brooks who said, “Happy people show up for work more, work longer hours, work more joyfully, and are happier with every aspect of their productive lives. Happiness is the secret to success.” That’s the secret folks – happiness brings success, not the other way around. Charity brings happiness, and happiness brings success. - Arthur C.

Last night, I heard an inspiring presentation from my friend Woody Woodward. During the presentation he shared these three powerful ideas: What you focus on you feel. What you visualize you internalize. What you think about comes about. Get busy creating and living the life you love! Also, if you haven’t yet seen Woody’s movie “i-Ology” you are missing out on one of the most inspiring movies I have ever seen.

Today’s quote was found on the back of a shirt of a young man with whom I was playing basketball this morning. I’m understanding more and more that life involves pain, and that is NOT a bad thing. Pain is an important indicator. Learn to read and interpret it correctly and it will keep you safe and moving forward. Avoid it and it will keep you stuck – and will still show up in another form. I prefer the pain of hard work to the pain of regret. - Hunter’s Shirt – author unknown.

On the road to your dream, obstacles will arise. Remember that these things are not as big and as powerful as your dream – keep the perspective and keep moving forward. Just imagine where you will be once you get past your giant! Join me Tuesday evening for a free teleseminar about facing your giants. http://summergiantsteleseminar.eventbrite.com.

Early summer is a time for thunderstorms where I live – they hit hard and fast, but don’t last long. It was during one such storm recently when my family and I were watching a movie. As the storm started, my daughter said with a twinkle in her eye, “Hey, we should go jump on the trampoline!” I’ve started to learn that life is more about the journey than the destination, so I jumped up in my pajamas and said, “Well, let’s go!” She and I were soaked within a few minutes, full of laughing and loving. The storms will come – what we do with them is up to us! It does little good, I decided, to make the trip and miss the journey. - Max Lucado Facing Your Giants This Summer We’re back for the summer session of “Facing Your Giants” – This e-coaching program…
