Chapter 13: The Brain

A Broadcasting and receiving station for thought.

The twelfth step towards riches

Our brain is very powerful, they pick up on the thoughts which have been released into the ether from other brains which we are in tune with. This happens when our own brain has been speed up.

When our brain is vibrating at a rapid rate such as from meditation, love, sex or simular it attracts the thoughts which others have released from the ether. Recently had an encounter with such having met someone new and was provided their number however it was not in my mobile phone yet. A hunch came to me put the number in your mobile as they are going to call and you won’t know the number.

This person did after I had put the number in the phone. Having had a few experiences of such happen throughout my own life, yet have never really understood such. Having had such happen owing to a great distance also, I have seen it happen and at times it can interesting what the brain does pickup on. You can pick up that someone is lying have had that happen or know when someone hasn’t told you something. Have had that happen where was talking to a friend who hadn’t said something yet my intuition had communicated such to me already.

When said something they asked what makes you say that, was unable to explain such fully as knew they wouldn’t understand. Our own brain is very powerful and can pickup some very interesting vibrations and thoughts despite not physically being with someone. Distance doesn’t matter when such is involved you will still receive the information from the ether either way.

It has been said that we can receive hunches just in time to warn us, yes know Michael has a great story about such and have heard many great stories about people’s lives being saved because of such. This is when the sixth sense comes into play ah just love such.

Thank you to my wonderful loving mentors who helped me to become a much better person. A stronger wiser person, who have had the guts to say those tough things in a way would hear their words. Michael, Ken and Willena you are the best, great mentors and am so glad to have you within my own life. To this mastermind group a group which has helped me to change my own life when was ready thank you.

Love you all so much,

Hugs and love

The silent treatment.

The silent treatment.
My worthless sponsor was late for the breakfast club meeting last week, so I asked him what happened. He said:
"My wife and I aren't talking to each other. We're giving each other the silent treatment, and I didn't want to be the first one to break the silence and lose. So I wrote a note on a piece of paper: 'Please wake me up at 6:30am.'
"Well, I didn't wake up until 8:30am. Boy, was I mad that my wife didn't wake me up. Then I noticed a piece of paper on my pillow that said: 'It's 6:30am. Wake up.'"

From Tom Big Al, ah what a great post and a good laugh.

Life Lessons from a Navy SEAL by Ron White

Life Lessons from a Navy SEAL by Ron White

Do you know what a Navy SEAL is? Basically, an Olympic athlete with a gun.

When I meet someone who is a Navy SEAL I am always in awe. There is absolutely no way in few paragraphs that I could convey to you what goes into being a Navy SEAL. Probably 5% of the world's population has the physical ability to become a SEAL. I would guess that less than 2% have the mental toughness and maybe 1% have both.

When you make the effort to become a SEAL, you enter a program called BUDS. This is a multi-week program designed to get rid of the mentally weak and physically inadequate. A typical BUDS class might have 150 men and only 20 will complete the program. You might ask, 'What happened to the other 130 men? Were they kicked out or asked to leave?' The answer is... neither.

When you enter BUDS it is because you have prepared for this program for years. You don't just decide one day that you are going to become a SEAL. You dream about it and plan for it for years, just to get to this point. Do you know how you leave BUDS? You walk over to a bell and ring it and when you leave it is your decision. You see, 150 men will enter a program that they have prepared for years and then in just a matter of days or weeks, they ring a bell and say to the world, 'I am not cut out for this. I quit. I give up on my dream.'

That should be amazing to you. It should be amazing that 90% of people can have a dream they have sacrificed for years and then after just a few days or weeks give it up. However, it happens all the time in BUDS and in life.

TC Cummings is a former Navy SEAL and professional speaker. I recently watched him on DVD and he said that almost everyone in his BUDS class had the physical ability to be a SEAL. After all, they had conducted countless hours of physical training for years just to get to this point. The difference was mental toughness. Although, they had developed physical strength, they had not worked out their minds to develop the mental toughness required.

TC made it and the others could have as well if they had his mental strength. He said that CEOs, salespeople and business professionals fail because they don't have mental toughness.

He explains that the same thing that will keep a sailor from becoming a SEAL is the exact same thing that will keep you from your goals. That is self-doubt, feelings of inadequacy or lack of confidence. At this point, I was hanging on the edge of my seat waiting for TC to tell me how to get the confidence of a Navy SEAL. Do you know what he said? He said, 'Setting goals and accomplishing them... even if it as small as making your bed everyday builds confidence.'

So I have given myself several small goals. One is simply making my bed. The others are items like reading books, getting my private pilot's license and exercise. Guess what? As I accomplish these goals, my confidence is building and I am becoming a better salesperson and speaker! Thanks TC!

I wish I could share with you all that I have learned from TC! Oh wait... I can. I encourage you to invest in the same DVD I watched. It is the 2004 Jim Rohn Event. Not only will you learn from TC Cummings, you will also watch Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Denis Waitley, Chris Widener and more!

This Week’s Jump-Start Random – Thoughts from Denis Waitley…

This Week's Jump-Start

Random Thoughts from Denis Waitley...

Humility is serving others with grace.

Failure is not a person, it's an event. Learn from it, don't wallow in it.

About humility: If you have the real thing (or are the real thing) you don't have to flaunt a loud expensive imitation. The people who shout the loudest are calling for help. Confidence can afford to be silent, knowing it will be noticed.

The people who try to be impressive are really the least impressive.

Your self-worth influences your net worth. In other words, your net worth = your achievements. And your self-worth allows you to believe in yourself enough to reach your achievements.

Eat dinner with your kids. It makes your family life better and gives your children a better shot out there.

From Denis Waitely’s Newsletter a powerful set of thoughts for us all.
