I've sometimes joked around a little with attendees at my seminars saying, "I want you to go out there right now, and in the next half hour find some way to make your life... Worse!" People always laugh because they would never do that intentionally, but they can always think of at least a half dozen ways to do it. Isn't the opposite also true? I want you to go out there and in the next half hour find some way to make your life... Better! Enjoy the video! Whether you think you can, or think you can’t… you’re right. - Henry Ford P.S. I just did a 50% rate reduction for private counseling and coaching. Contact me privately if you are interested through the contact link at www.drpaul.org. I'm also taking new referrals if you know someone who would appreciate having some conversations with me.

You are heading off into a new year this week. You are on your way to something… for sure! What you hit this next year depends a whole lot on where you are aiming. Keep that vision alive and well of where you are heading. The world and the media will attempt to discourage you, but you know these challenges are only there to test your determination and resolve. Remember – nothing can be in your way unless you are already on your way!prevent credit Nobody grows old By merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. Your are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; As young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; As young as your hope, as old as your despair. - Douglas MacArthur

I just finished a book by Jon Gordon called The No Complaining Rule. This simple concept can be a tough application when we let our natural fight or flight instincts overrule the rational and compassionate core. Jon suggests that there are other things we could CHOOSE to do rather than complain including: 1. Practice Gratitude 2. Praise Others 3. Focus on Success 4. Let Go 5. Pray and Meditate “No misfortune is so bad that whining about it won’t make it worse.” Jeffrey R. Holland

A few years ago, Vicki and I visited the Canary Islands where we had the opportunity to ride a camel. One thing I didn’t know before about camels is that they grumble and complain before responding to any command of the wrangler. At first I thought we just ended up with a “bad attitude” camel, but then heard every camel in line responding in the same grumpy way. In contrast, we have a sweet retriever mix in our family named Crystal. I sometimes get up early in the morning to go walking, and even at 5:00 a.m. she wiggles enthusiastically and wags her tail, eager to join me. What about you? Today you have a choice to be a camel or a Crystal. real-estate-opportunity2 click this link to see a real estate opportunity I'm offering!
