Taking Action

I came across a wonderful quote this week from Charles Franklin Kettering.  It is about taking action toward your intentions. Enjoy!

Charles Kettering was an American inventor who holds more

than 300 patents.  He headed the research for General Motors

for 27 years.  Among his inventions were the electrical

starting motor and the Freon refrigerant.
Here’s one last quote from Charles Kettering:
“Keep on going, and the chances are that you will stumble on something,

perhaps when you are least expecting it. I never heard of anyone ever

stumbling on something sitting down.”

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know…

….that no man is hurt but by himself.

 Diogenes said that, and he was right. Every person’s

experience is created internally, by him or herself. No

one outside of you can tell you what anything means,

or whether you are “hurt” or not.

 If you feel hurt by something or someone, it is the result

of your decision to feel that way. This may be tough to

hear, but it is true. You can change your mind at any

moment about how something is affecting you.

 You will not have to think but a second to know

exactly why you received this message today.

~Neale Donal Walsch

Economic Pearl Harbor?

Crucial Information To Help You Get Through Troubled
Times

You probably aren’t expecting this kind of email from
me—but in times like these I feel we all need to band
together and help each other in any way we can. Living
day-to-day in our current environment has become
challenging, confusing, and at times even terrifying.


Warren Buffet, “The Sage of Omaha,” long considered
the most respected voice in
America on economics and
investing, has likened today’s environment to
‘Economic Pearl Harbor.’ The storm that has been
coming is here, the wind and rain are beating against
our doors, and no one knows how long it will last.
How well will your house stand up?


The answer depends on one thing: The depth and
strength of your “foundations.”


With a strong foundation, you will not only survive
today’s storm, but… when the winds die down…you
will emerge stronger and in the best possible
financial shape to secure your future.


There is an amazing couple, Mark and Desirée Watson,
who are “Master Foundation Builders” for Wealth
Seekers like you. They have given me the opportunity
to introduce you to them in a 44-minute teleclass
called “Wealth Inside Out Foundations…The 4
essential Pillars for Building Lifelong Wealth and
Happiness.”


http://wealthinsideout.com/foundations-teleclass-group3.aspx

You’ve been to seminars, I know, and you’ve joined
“success” programs in the past. If you haven’t
experienced the kind of change and growth that you
wanted, let me share some more “troubling news” with
you:


The average success rate for a “success training”
company is less than 3%. That means that fewer than 3
out of every 100 people who take part in any given
program actually attain significant success using what
they learned.


This is despite the fact that most of these companies
and seminars are fantastic!


The root of the problem, to quote Desirée, is that
“too many people spend too much time focussing on what
worked for someone else, and not enough time looking
inside to discover what will work for them.”


Is it worth 44 minutes to find out what will work for
you?


http://wealthinsideout.com/foundations-teleclass-group3.aspx

Before you decide whether or not meeting Mark and
Desirée is worth 44 minutes of your time, ask yourself
these 2 questions:


1. Have you ever attended a seminar, workshop or other
“success” training that didn’t completely change your
life…or your income?


2. Are you ready to see a massive return—30, 50,
100X—on every minute and every dollar you invest in
your education…from now on?


If you answered “YES” to either, go here and register for

the teleclass now. You’ll also receive 5 amazing bonus

gifts worth over $197 from other industry experts… just

for registering.


http://wealthinsideout.com/foundations-teleclass-group3.aspx


There has never been a more important time for you to
work on your “foundation.” And no one is more
qualified to help you than Mark and Desirée Watson.

This class could not possibly have come at a better
time. You need this information to help you get
through the days ahead…and to make sure that you are
strong and prepared for anything the future throws at
you.


I’m looking forward to the call myself, and I can’t
wait to ‘see’ you there.

To your continued success,
Carrie

PS:   Mark and Desirée have spent over 20 years in the
personal development and success training industries.
They have created tremendous success for themselves,
and coached people from all over the
United States and
Canada to create the life of their dreams.


They specialize in helping you find what you are here
to do…and how to make money doing it! After 44
minutes with them, you’ll be on your way to becoming
the kind of person that no external “crisis” or
“meltdown” can effect in any way.


http://wealthinsideout.com/foundations-teleclass-group3.aspx

Sincerely,

Mark

This Was a Great Year for Preventive Worrying…

The media and politicians are doing a wonderful job of creating tons of things for us to worry about! Gee thanks! As if we needed help with this. As humans, we have been conditioned to worry. Luckily, we don’t worry about having enough air to breath! I suggest we instead, focus our immense engergies on what has gone right in our lives.

Think about how grateful your are now, about the things you wished for, but didn’t get. Like that song by Garth Brooks, Some of God’s Greatest Gifts Are ”Unanswered Prayers”. Or even the things we wished for that came long after we thought we were ready for them. Have you ever waited for a different job, a wonderful opportunity, that perfect person to come into your life only to be let down and the time frame you set passed you by? Then, when that perfect situation arose twenty, thirty years later, you were so grateful it didn’t happen any sooner than it did! The universe seems to know when you are truly ready.
How wonderful is it that Everything you think, feel and do, brings you that much closer to your true wisdon and that much better at your true purpose in life. Focus on that for a while. Shift your focus from worry and doubt and fear, to living in your Essence. Happiness with reappear and worrying will disappear! Just try it for 3 minutes, right now, and notice how you feel!
Remember what joy feels like! Remember to take back control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions today and everyday!
Like they saying the athletes read as they charge onto the playing field at Notre Dame: “Play Like a Winner Today!”

“Worry is a misuse of imagination.”
~ Dan Zadra

“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.”
~ Buddha

“Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.”
~ Benjamin Franklin

“If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today.”
~Rotarian

“Worry affects the circulation, the heart, the glands, the whole nervous system. I have never known a man who died from overwork, but many who died from doubt.”
~Charles H. Mayo

How Healthy is Bottled Water For You and Your Family?

Bottled water is a product we all have spent a load of money on as we and our families have relied on bottled water to be a safe and even desired source of water. I know my son who is now 19 and was home from college this past weekend, now always makes a point to drink only Kangen water out of our tap instead of bottled water.  As a family, in the past, we had relied on bottled water for years! After reading this article, you may be wanting another source for your water! Check this out!

Bottled water has contaminants too, study finds…

By JEFF DONN, AP National Writer Wed Oct 15, 12:17 AM ET

Tests on leading brands of bottled water turned up a variety of contaminants often found in tap water, according to a study released Wednesday by an environmental advocacy group.

The findings challenge the popular impression — and marketing pitch — that bottled water is purer than tap water, the researchers say.

However, all the brands met federal health standards for drinking water. Two violated a California state standard, the study said.

An industry group branded the findings “alarmist.” Joe Doss, president of the International Bottled Water Association, said the study is based on the faulty premise that a contaminant is a health concern “even if it does not exceed the established regulatory limit or no standard has been set.”

The study’s lab tests on 10 brands of bottled water detected 38 chemicals including bacteria, caffeine, the pain reliever acetaminophen, fertilizer, solvents, plastic-making chemicals and the radioactive element strontium. Though some probably came from tap water that some companies use for their bottled water, other contaminants probably leached from plastic bottles, the researchers said.

“In some cases, it appears bottled water is no less polluted than tap water and, at 1,900 times the cost, consumers should expect better,” said Jane Houlihan, an environmental engineer who co-authored the study.

The two-year study was done by the Washington-based Environmental Working Group, an organization founded by scientists that advocates stricter regulation. It found the contaminants in bottled water purchased in nine states and Washington, D.C.

Researchers tested one batch for each of 10 brands. Eight did not have contaminants high enough to warrant further testing. But two brands did, so more tests were done and those revealed chlorine byproducts above California’s standard, the group reported. The researchers identified those two brands as Sam’s Choice sold by Wal-Mart and Acadia of Giant Food supermarkets.

In the Wal-Mart and Giant Food bottled water, the highest concentration of chlorine byproducts, known as trihalomethanes, was over 35 parts per billion. California’s limit is 10 parts per billion or less, and the industry’s International Bottled Water Association makes 10 its voluntary guideline. The federal limit is 80.

Wal-Mart said its own studies did not turn up illegal levels of contaminants. Giant Food officials released a statement asserting that Acadia meets all regulatory standards. Acadia is sold in the mid-Atlantic states, so it isn’t held to California’s standard. In most places, bottled water must meet roughly the same federal standards as tap water.

The researchers also said the Wal-Mart brand was five times California’s limit for one particular chlorine byproduct, bromodichloromethane. The environmental group wants Wal-Mart to label its bottles in California with a warning because the chlorine-based contaminants have been linked with cancer. It has filed a notice of intent to sue.

Wal-Mart spokeswoman Shannon Frederick said the company was “puzzled” by the findings because testing by suppliers and another lab had detected no “reportable amounts” of such contaminants. She said Wal-Mart would investigate further but defended the quality of its bottled water.

The researchers recommend that people worried about water contaminants drink tap water with a carbon filter.

We have a better solution…one that actually promotes better health (not just “safe” drinking water), protects our environment and costs less than bottled water!

Ole World Advice Resonates Today!

A Cherokee Indian elder was teaching his grandchildren about life.  He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me… it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.  One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.   The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.   This same fight is going on inside of you, and inside every other person, too.”
The children thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee elder simply replied… “The one you feed.”

Namaste,

Carrie
