Hello again Life-Long Learners,
I have had the good fortune of uncovering a very inspiring resource and I have the honour and privilege here to share it with you in the hope you will find it helpful as you strive for the greatness you are capable of achieving...
Accept no Limits
"A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses." -- As a Man Thinketh
You are not limited to the life you now live. It has been accepted by you as the best you can do at this moment. Any time you're ready to go beyond the limitations currently in your life, you're capable of doing that by choosing different thoughts.
We each earn the income we do today because that is the amount we have limited ourselves to earn. We could easily earn 5, 10, 20 times or more if we did not limit ourselves through the thoughts we maintain.
Don't believe that's true? Surely you know people who earn much more than you who don't have your education, your skills, or your intelligence. So why do they earn more than you?
I love the story of George Dantzig that Cynthia Kersey wrote about in Unstoppable. As a college student, George studied very hard and always late into the night. So late that he overslept one morning, arriving 20 minutes late for class. He quickly copied the two math problems on the board, assuming they were the homework assignmnet. It took him several days to work through the two problmes, but finally he had a breakthrough and dropped the homework on the professor's desk the next day.
Later, on a Sunday morning, George was awakened at 6 a.m. by his excited professor. Since George was late for class, he hadn't heard the professor announce that the two unsolvable equations on the board were mathematical mind teasers that even Einstein hadn't been able to answer. But George Dantzig, working without any thought of limitaion, had solved not one, but two problems that had stumped mathmaticians for thousands of years.
Simply put, George solved the problems because he didn't know he couldn't.
Bob Proctor tells us to "keep reminding yourself that you have tremendous reservoirs of potential within you, and therefore you are quite capable of doing anything you set your mind to. All you must do is figure out how you can do it, not whether or not you can. And once you have made your mind up to do it, it's amazing how your mind begins to figure out how."
And that's worth thinking about.

I feel strongly that reading the texts compiled by Vic Johnson in his book, Meditations for the Month Day by Day with James Allen, has been an effective element in my journey to overcome a significant challenge and to ultimately take a leap into entrepreneurship to pursue my passion instead of worrying about contributing to my pension. When you remove limitation and open your mind to the possibilities of your own great potential, you set yourself in motion in the direction of the destination of your specific goal. Ideas will flow into your conscience to answer the hows that would otherwise be obstacles on your course from where you are to where you want to be.
Through the power of your own thoughts when you believe that you can, you make yourself as unstoppable as anyone else who has found their way to greatness. It's just plain simple and true. Once you know where you're going and figure out how you're going to get there, what is there to stop you? Again, I hope you will find Vic Johnson's thoughts which I will be printing periodically over the next few weeks, to be as helpful to you as I have found them to be.
Let's begin...
Ardently,

Formula for Self–Confidence by Napoleon Hill
Hi to all,
Hope everyone is enjoying the crisp air and the crisp leaves and eagerly anticipating the crisp snow. According to the news reports, we should all be getting our flu shots to stay well.
I thought I would share a little booster too to help keep up the optimism. Keeping up confidence and keeping up optimism go hand in hand and both help us to stay well and even to get better. For any of you who do not already have a copy in hand or in mind, I'm posting Napoleon Hill's "Formula for Self Confidence" from the 1937 publication Think and Grow Rich.
I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward, physical action, and gradually transform themselves into physical reality; therefore, I will concentrate my thoughts for thirty minutes daily, upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become, thereby creating in my mind a clear mental picture of this person.
I know though the principle of auto-suggestion, any desire that I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression though some practical means of attaining the object; therefore, I will devote ten minutes daily to demanding of myself the development of SELF-CONFIDENCE.
I have clearly written down a description of my DEFINITE CHIEF AIM in life. I will never stop trying, until I have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.
I fully realize that no wealth or position can long endure unless built upon truth and justice; therefore, I will engage in no transaction that does not benefit all whom it affects. I will succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use, and the cooperation of other people. I will induce others to serve me, because of my willingness to serve others. I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I will believe in them, and in myself.
I will sign my name to this formula, commit it to memory, and repeat it aloud once a day with full FAITH that it will gradually influence my THOUGHTS and ACTIONS so that I will become a self-reliant, and successful person.

Good, Good, Good, Good...
Good for Kids, Good for Parents, Good for the Environment, Good for Finances, Good for a Better World for all.
Dear Readers,
I can't tell you how thrilled, elated, relieved and so on and so on... I am to have discovered EchoAge, a new concept in celebrating a child's birthday. As the mother of P 9, G 7, R 5, and D 3, I consider myself to be the luckiest mother ever in the whole wide world and it is my dearest hope that all other parents out there feel the same sense of fulfillment, pride and exhiliration.
Along with all the fulfillment, pride and exhiliration, I also have some sadness and frutstration at times. Two of our angel gifts arrived to us in the month of October and I am still in the midst of cleaning up from the second October birthday party of 2008. If only I had known of EchoAge, http://www.echoage.com/, before we threw the parties. Whenever we have the occasion to host a celebration for one of our troop, I have a deep sense of sadness and regret mingled in with the excitement. I feel sad about the money that somebody will be spending on a gift that my child might not appreciate because they already have too much clutter to even appreciate what they have. I feel sad about the piling up in the landfill sites because so much of what is available in the toy market is complete junk and breaks the day the package is opened and does not get returned to the store as the parents don't know where the gift was bought and don't have the receipt or the time or the wherewithall to hold the manufacturers responsible. I feel sad about the extra clutter that will be added to my basement, when I don't seem to be able to find the time to help sort it out and to gather all the pieces of an unappreciated toy to move it to somewhere else where it could be another child's treasure. Mostly, I feel sadness thinking about another child somewhere who has no clutter to sort through -- some with nothing at all even.
This concept is brilliant. It helps address all of these problems and more. As is highlighted on the EchoAge site, it helps reduce the waste of packaging and wrapping material, it helps children learn a fabulous lesson about sharing and it gives children a great sense of achievement when they know they are contributing to the happiness of another child as well as they celebrate their own birthday. The benefits are so manifold I'm overwhelmed!!! This is so great!!! Thank you Debbie and Allison for taking action to help on so many levels. Congratulations on your success.
I am all the more thrilled to see that one of the charities you support is one that I also hold dear to my heart, Free The Children. I feel almost a sense of kindred spiritedness as I too have just started a company and one of the most compelling reasons I decided to take the blind faith leap into entrepreneurism was that I wanted to find a way to support Free the Children, [http://www.freethechildren.com/index.php], and another worthy charitable organization I just learned of recently called Hands for Help, [http://www.bilaalrajan.com/confirm.html]. Both of these charitable organizations were founded by children with respective mottos of "Children helping children through education," for the former and "Inspiring kids to help kids," for the latter. Compelled by the words of Craig Kielburger when he was 12 years old, "Nobody has an excuse good enough to ignore the problems of these child workers," our family felt a need to find a way to help.
Our new company is called Commuteducation. Our aim is to raise proceeds and awareness for these two noble organizations, while selling educational and self-development material in audio and video format as inspired by the mottos of the two. We are truly elated to see the brilliant means by which EchoAge has found a way to make the world a better place in so many ways. Congratulations and best wishes for all the success and goodness you deserve for your efforts and initiative, which make me think of a story I heard yesterday about God's boomerang that always finds its way back to those who do good deeds. You rock!
Our next round of birthdays is in July, when we have our other two to celebrate. For the first time in the history of my motherhood, I'm not putting off the planning until the last second. I have a great idea, thanks to EchoAge. I love it. In the meantime, I'm planning to share it with as many others as I can.

The Power of One-Upmanship Story Telling
Hello all,
I have so much to write about, I'm not even sure where to start. There is so much "some kind of wonderful" in this world, we can hardly take it all in. Have you had a chance to soak in the scenery and scents of the fall foliage? What a treat of a feast of awe we've had over the past couple of weeks! The sheer joy of it is all the more splendid knowing we get to be a part of it over and over year after year, with just enough change to make it a must each time. As much as times change, almost every year I catch myself and others saying it's never been quite like this any other year before. I already can't wait for next year.
Whoa!! Everything is going so fast already. No need to rush the years. I've been thinking a lot lately about things that have happened over the years. There is so much to be grateful for. I have been influenced a lot by inspiring authors and learning to concentrate my thoughts on what is good. When we understand that our thoughts dictate our feelings, it seems overwhelmingly simple to resolve to concentrate our thoughts on good things. Really - the concept is that simple. We feel good when we think about good things. When we feel good, it's much easier to help others around us feel good too and to make more good things happen in our lives. As we continue to think about all of these new good things that keep happening, we end up feeling good over and over. It really is a vicious cycle. On the flip side, we know that thoughts about not so good things creep into our minds all the time. It's well worthwhile to make a conscious effort to dismiss them. We're all so good at dismissing thoughts.
Why does it seem to be so easy to forget about a kind gesture from a precious child like a good morning hug or an offer to share a bite of a Smartie, in contrast to how we can never get over an irate gesture of road rage or some other such inconsequential happenstance that occurs in our day? Think about which you would be more likely to recount to a spouse at the end of the day. It's mindboggling why so many of us would choose to propel the misery instead of the bright spot in our day. Maybe we are afraid it comes off as bragging if we talk about something good that happened. Let's try to think of it instead as a way to help someone else feel good and to attract more goodness into our lives. Think about the power of the contageousness of one-upmanship story telling. It has exponential potency whether we share good thoughts and feelings or bad ones. Let's carefully choose which are the right thoughts to dismiss and which are the right ones to relay back and forth with others around us.
Here's the challenge. Let's outdo each other in telling about something great that happened to us today or in the last few days - or ever in our lives for that matter. It's never too late to tell about something that made you smile or made you laugh or warmed your heart. I'll start. I just have to think for a minute while I choose which thing to talk about... hmmm. There really is a lot when you think about it. Please do share yours on the blog and then share again with someone you love or care about or share another story of inspiration to help yourself and others feel good as well. Here goes mine. This one warmed my heart and I hope it will warm yours too.
Yesterday morning, I was working away on the computer, having all the usual technical challenge difficulties I tend to have when I'm in a hurry to get something done. My husband walked into the room with a cup of coffee for me. He just thought I might like one. I hadn't even asked for it. It's amazing how a small thing can make such a difference to your day. I'll have to be sure to tell him that I was so thankful, I 'm still thinking about it more than a day later. Maybe I could even just do some nice little thing for him or someone else without them even asking. That would warm my heart and hopefully someone else's too.
Warm-heartedly,
Kathleen

No Regrets -- Grow Your Roots
Hello Friends from Microskills and all Dear Readers!
When those of us who were fortunate enough to be there gathered for our Microskills group session this morning, we were treated to many inspiring stories.
Thank you to Pilar and to Nancy for setting a good example for us to follow and for taking the initiative to be the first to volunteer to present your business plans for us. Thank you to Zya and Nafisa and others for sharing readings or recounts of your own experience to inspire us all. Thank you to Christie for your guidance and instruction over the past few weeks. We have appreciated your knowledge and your encouragement and we look forward to keeping in touch to share success stories.
As we continue to grow together in our endeavours, I was reminded today of an awesome story I had heard recently about the Bamboo tree and how it grows. I had heard the story on a self-devlopment cd I have from T. Harv Eker of fame for his Millionaire Mind work. I found the story posted at this link: http://attractingyourgoals.com/law-of-attraction-21/.
I hope you can take a few moments to read it in hopes you will find it inspiring too. Please enjoy. We may feel like we should be further ahead than we are. We have to remember that our progress is not always as visible as we would like it to be sometimes. We are growing an intricate root structure as a foundation for the enormous growth and development we envision in the next two to five years. Seven figures ladies!!! Oh how we will be able to help others!! Isn't it wonderful!
Ardently,
Kathleen

It Feels Like One Step Forward and Two Steps Back
Hello to my Microskills Colleagues and to other dear readers also on the path to greatness:
Can you believe it's October? What a vibrant time of the year it is. Students are getting settled into their new routines, many among us are celebrating holidays, we're all being treated with the feast of fall colours in the foliage, and of course we're all excited and enthused about the upcoming federal election ; ) and best of all, we're laser focused on developing our ideas from inception to implementation. We're doing "whatever it takes" to move forward.
It just seems like we're not moving as quickly as we would like to be sometimes and we even feel like we're losing some ground in a dance of one step forward and two steps back. Let's think of it as just that. One step forward two steps back is one of the step patterns in the dance to success.
Thank you to my friends at Microskills for the inspiration and ideas you give to me. I'm elated with every step of this journey, even when I'm taking a few steps back to get myself onto the right path. We can propel ourselves forward with the power and energy we get from the encouraging words of others in our circles.
I have another passage to share with you today for inspiration. Kasey was kind enough today to bring in a copy of The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho. The four page introduction is riveting. I hope that Paul Coelho will not mind me sharing his inspiring words with all of you, in hopes we can all gain some insight and the motivation we need to "think we can dance." The entire introduction is powerful and well worth reading. I'll just entice you with a few words herein: "I ask myself: are defeats necessary? Well, necessary or not, they happen. When we first begin fighting for our dream, we have no experience and make many mistakes. The secret of life, though is to fall seven times and to get up eight times."
Sometimes it feels like one step forward and two steps back. Sometimes we put too much focus on the steps back and forget to count them also as steps forward in our journey of life-long learning. It's beautiful! "If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right." Henry Ford. So you think you can dance!
Ardently,
Kathleen
P.S. Speaking of inspiration, treats of poetry and muffins made with love from Ava and Amina today were decadent and energizing. Thank you for the boosts and the reminders we need to take care of ourselves and to take care of others we love.

Thank you Nancy for the yoga boost to get us started today. You were awesome. You have to get into the schools and help the children and the teachers. Your passion for what you do is so evident. You're a natural and the stressful environment of the schools needs your soothing.
Thank you also to all of you for your indulgence in listening to my story. I know it's a bit long and it was the end of the day and I appreciate your indulgence all the more as I know it was time to go and get on with other things. I am attaching the draft for your use if you are interested in reading the story or any part of it for your kids. If you have any suggestions, your opinions matter to me a great deal. If you would like a hard copy to read to your kids, I would be thrilled to provide one. Your kids opinions matter to me too.
I recently met someone who just launched his first book. He suggested I start by sharing my manuscript with a small group of trusted friends. It seemed to me he must be talking about all of you, albeit he might not have known it. I hope that we can all be honest and helpful to each other as we work together through the ups and downs and barriers we meet along the way to getting ourselves to where we want to be. We have to choose to get past whatever comes along that stands in our way.
Thank you again for listening. Let's just do it (swoosh)!!!
In order for you to profit from your mistakes, you have to get out and make some.- Anonymous

I hope that we can all be honest and helpful to each other as we work together through the ups and downs and barriers we meet along the way to getting ourselves to where we want to be. We have to choose to get past whatever comes along that stands in our way.
Thank you again for listening. Let's just do it (swoosh)!!!
