AWAKEN THE INNER HERO

Hero: a noun – a person, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. Inner: adjective - situated inside or further in; internal either mental or spiritual Those two definitions are pretty clear and each taken on its own can represent a lot of different things to a lot of different people. But when you combine the two, the words take on a new meaning. Inner hero represents your full potential, your best you, the one designed by God that made you special, limitless, and the one who needs to be in charge of your life. When you awaken your inner hero and yes we all have one--you will open your world up to new opportunities and amazing levels of abundance and joy.As I explain the best way to activate your inner hero, don’t forget its opposite, the inner villain. As you have learned by now, the villain fights against your growth and does all it can to rob you of your confidence, trying to prevent you from developing and anchoring new success habits. If the villain doesn’t work hard to be in control, it will have to bow out and let the inner hero take over. The villain doesn’t want to lose its power over you. The way the villain works is by telling, or better yet, reminding you of an old, disempowering story and trying to sabotage your subconscious so you can’t create a better one. Yet, by the time this chapter is over you will have the tools and the clarity to let the best you guide your thoughts, your happiness and abundance.Recall the definitions: When the inner hero runs your life, you are filled with confidence, optimism, and are a solution-focused person. When the villain is in charge, it’s the polar opposite, robbing you of the courage, energy and confidence to make the shifts towards the best you. This mindset ends today.I’ve given you tools to know where the villain came from and how to eliminate it. Here, though, we’re going to put a dagger in the heart of that villain once and for all and let the inner hero be in control. This process isn’t about turning you into something you’re not changing an introvert into an extrovert, for instance. It’s about accomplishing something deeper, better, and more custom tailored to you, and only you, that can last a lifetime. Once the villain doesn’t run your life, but your confident inner hero does, your possibilities are limitless and then you will know what it is like to tap into your best you. Remember, I’m not offering you a magic pill for success; you’re not going to read these words and instantaneously achieve wealt hand abundance. Instead, as I’ve been emphasizing throughout this book, you’ll learn how to make tiny shifts that can be implemented quickly and feel and see dramatic, positive effects in a short period of time. Working together, we can accomplish this. You are worth it, so keep reading, push forward, and stick with it. We’ve come this far, so don’t stop now.As we continue on this journey, and I continue to share new habits, thought processes, and exercises, keep your eye on your “why”. It’s easy to put exercises and behavioral tweaks off until another time. You have done that before, and typically it hasn’t worked out. This isn’t just about inspiring you and telling good stories—plenty of other books do that. Instead, it’s about small actions that can add up to massive positive effects. No more roller coasters. It’s time to move forward in a straight, sure line. So to set the stage for this section, let’s just say it like it is: Your state of mind and your level of confidence are critical factors in order for you to become a high achiever. Think about a time you were in a bad mood and then something good happened and it triggered a great feeling. Maybe you learned there was extra money in your bank account, your spouse did something special for you, or you got a promotion at work. Can you think of a moment or moments where you went from feeling down to feeling up in an instant? Of course you can, and that demonstrates that you possess the ability to change your state of mind and your confidence in an instant. You just need tools to be in control of this ability rather than to be at the mercy of outside factors.Face it: Have you done anything amazing in your life when your confidence was in the toilet? No, with this state of mind, problems compound, opportunities are missed and regrets are formed. On the other hand, when you had a day or a moment of high energy, confidence, or were in a great, positive mood, I bet you can think of incredible things you were able to accomplish, even if only for a brief time. Yes, it’s a great feeling when you are on an emotional high like that, to feel that burst and change of mood! But if the high soon goes away and is followed by a low, then your life is filled with peaks and valleys—peaks and valleys that are dictated by the outside world.Let’s face it: This up and down emotional ride won’t lead to the wealth, joy, happiness, love, or fulfillment you desire. That’s why I’m going to teach you how to change your state of mind and your level of confidence in a moment, no matter what’s going on around you. With this ability, you can limit those valleys and eventually prevent them altogether because you will be in control of your emotions and thoughts rather than allowing circumstance to dictate what they are. I’m going to show you how to tap into a higher level of confidence that lives inside of you, to boost it, and have it on call when needed. Most people believe that they either have total confidence or none at all. But low points are not caused by you having zero confidence, they can happen when your confidence drops by as little as 5%. Even a small hit to your confidence can be deadly to your aspirations, goals, and dreams. So be prepared to learn how to keep your confidence at 100%, or at least ready to access its full potential instantly. This level of confidence simply does not leave any space for the villain to exist. Your inner confidence is the hero inside of you waiting to shine. I’ve seen my students fumble with tactical skills and wonder why they were stalled, or worse yet, over-thinking what to do to the point of paralysis. Why couldn’t they build momentum and stay on a course that would free them to be who they aspired to be? Almost every student who didn’t give up in the first few moments of transi tioning learned that the problem was a lack of confidence. Once they went through this process, though, they obtained the ability to create confidence at levels they never thought were possible. And once they did, there was no stopping them. Before we discuss how to tap into this resource and give you the ability to change your state of mind and raise your confidence when you need it, I want to give you the chance to visualize this internal power shift and the huge difference it can make in your life.

The Story of Aladdin, or The Magic Lamp Part 1

In the capital city of a rich and vast kingdom in China whose name I cannot at the moment recall, there lived a tailor called Mustafa, whose only distinguishing feature was his profession. This Mustafa was very poor, his work hardly producing enough to live on for him, his wife and a son whom God had given him. The son, who was called Aladdin, had received a very neglected upbringing, which had led him to acquire many depraved tendencies. Heupbringing, which had led him to acquire many depraved tendencies. He was wicked, stubborn and disobedient towards his father and mother,who, once he became little older, could no longer keep him in the house. He would set out first thing in the morning and spend the day playing in the streets and public places with small vagabonds even younger than himself.As soon as he was of an age to learn a trade, his father, who was not in a position to make him learn any trade other than his own, took him into his shop and began to show him how to handle a needle. But he remained unable to hold his son’s fickle attention, neither by fear of punishment nor by gentle means, and could not get him to sit down and apply himself to his work, as he had hoped. No sooner was Mustafa’s back turned than Aladdin would escape and not return for the rest of the day. His father would punish him, but Aladdin was incorrigible, and so, much to his regret, Mustafa was forced to leave him to his dissolute ways. All this caused Mustafa much distress, and his grief at not being able to make his son mend his ways resulted in a persistent illness of which, a few months later, he died. Aladdin’s mother, seeing how her son was not going to follow in his father’s footsteps and learn tailoring, closed the shop so that the proceeds from the sale of all the tools of its trade, together with the little she could earn by spinning cotton, would help provide for herself and her son. Aladdin, however, no longer restrained by the fear of a father, paid so little attention to his mother that he had the effrontery to threaten her when she so much as remonstrated with him, and now abandoned himself completely to his dissolute ways. He associated increasingly with children of his own age, playing with them with even greater enthusiasm. He continued this way of life until he was fifteen, with his mind totally closed to anything else and with no thought of what he might one day become. Such was his situation when one day, while he was playing in the middle of a square with a band of vagabonds, as was his wont, a stranger who was passing by stopped to look at him. This stranger was a famous magician who, so the authors of this story tell us, was an African, and this is what we will call him, as he was indeed from Africa, having arrived from that country only two days before. Now it may be that it was because this African magician, who was an expert in the art of reading faces, had looked at Aladdin and had seen all that was essential for the execution of his journey’s purpose, or there might have been some other reason. Whatever the case, he artfully made enquiries about Aladdin’s family and about what sort of fellow he was. When he had learned all that he wanted to know, he went up to the young man and, drawing him a little aside from his companions, asked him: ‘My son, isn’t your father called Mustafa, the tailor?’ ‘Yes, sir,’ replied Aladdin, ‘but he has been dead a long time.’At these words, the magician’s eyes filled with tears and, uttering deep sighs, he threw his arms round Aladdin’s neck, embracing and kissing him several times. Aladdin, seeing his tears, asked him why he was weeping. …CONT

The Magellanic Clouds

The Milky Way is not the only galaxy visible in our skies. In the southern hemisphere you can also see the two Magellanic Clouds. They are generally thought to be satellite galaxies linked by gravity to the Milky Way, but recent research suggests they may be just passing through our neighborhood. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) lies in the constellations Dorado and Mensa. It is about 25,000–30,000 light-years across and contains about 100 billion solar masses. The LMC is classed as an irregular galaxy, although it has a bar in its center and some signs of spiral arms. It may have once been a spiral galaxy that was pulled into a new shape by the gravity of the Milky Way. The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is one of the most distant objects that can be seen with the naked eye. This irregular dwarf galaxy is a smaller version of the LMC. It contains less dust and gas, but it still has a number of star-forming regions (the red regions shown above). The SMC has a visible diameter of about 15,000 light-years and contains several hundred million stars. Its mass is about seven billion times the mass of our Sun.

On December 12, 1903, the Wright brothers made the first sustained and controlled flight by powered airplane in history at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. At least, this is the accepted story. But had man mastered the power of flight much earlier, perhaps hundreds or even thousands of years earlier? Some researchers believe that there is evidence to suggest that this is indeed the case, but that the knowledge has been lost to history. The physical evidence for this ancient flight comes mainly in the form of enigmatic South American and Egyptian artifacts and Egyptian carvings.The first examples are the socalled gold aircraft from Colombia. Some of these artifacts date to about A.D. 500 and are attributed to the Tolima culture, which inhabited the highlands of Colombia from around A.D. 200 to 1000. Traditionally described by archaeologists as animal or insect figurines, the objects seem to display features compatible with airplane technology, such as delta wings, vertical stabilizers, and horizontal elevators. A further example, a stylized gold alloy flying fish pendant, comes from the Calima culture of southwest Colombia, (c. 200 B.C.- A.D. 600). A photo of such a pendant was included in Erich Von Daniken's 1972 book, The Gold of the Gods, and he believed the object represented an airplane used by outer space visitors. Although the figure is thought by archaeologists to represent a stylized version of a flying fish found in the region, there are some features, particularly those around the tail, which appear significantly different from anything found in nature. More gold examples were fashioned by the Sinu culture of coastal Colombia, a gold-working community that existed between about A.D. 300 and A.D. 1550. These objects were about 5 centimeters long and were worn as pendants on neck chains. In 1954, some examples of the Sinu models were among the collection of ancient gold artifacts sent by the Colombian government on a United States tour; 15 years later a modern reproduction of one of the artifacts was given to zoologist and author Ivan T. Sanderson to examine. Apparently, his conclusion was that the object was not characteristic of any known winged animal. The front wings were delta-shaped and straight edged, for example, not like an animal or insect. Sanderson thought that it appeared more mechanical than biological, and even went as far as to suggest that it represented a high-speed aircraft at least 1,000 years old. In fact, the airplane-like appearance of the objects encouraged Dr. Arthur Poyslee to conduct windtunnel experiments at the Aeronautical Institute of New York, where he came to a positive conclusion about the object's ability to fly. In August 1996, a reproduction of one of these gold models, built at a scale of 16:1, was flown successfully by three German engineers: Algund Eenboom, Peter Belting, and Conrad Liibbers. From their research, they concluded that the original artifact resembled a modern space shuttle or the supersonic Concorde rather than an insect.

“You Can Do It if You Believe You Can!" IT MAY SEEM TO BE A DEPARTURE FROM THE subject of this lesson to start with a discussion of love, but after you have completed the lesson you will understandthat the subject could not have been omitted without impairing the value of the lesson.The word love is used here in an all-encompassing sense. There are many objects, motives, and people that can inspire love, and one of these inspirations can be work. Great artists, for example, generally love their work.But it is not uncommon for many people to speak of hating work, and it is easy to envision work that is dull, tiring, and emotionally unsatisfying. Work that you do merely for the sake of earning a living is seldom enjoyable. Time passes slowly, and boredom and weariness are inevitable in such circumstances.It is possible, however, to be engaged in work that you love, work that gives you personal satisfaction and which you approach in a spirit of anticipation and excitement. When engaged in work that you love, you can labor for unbelievably long periods of time without noticing the clock, because you are focused on the challenge and the satisfaction you are getting. Your endurance, therefore, depends very largely on the extent to which you like, dislike, or love what you are doing. This is the basis for one of the most important philosophies of this course: You are most ifficient and will more quickly and easily succeed when engaged in work that you love, or work that you perform on behalf of some person whom you love. Whenever the element of love enters into any task you perform, the quality of your work becomes immediately improved and the quantity increased, without a corresponding increase in the fatigue caused by that work. “Down time is not the name of the game.” Usher singer

Set a specific power goal
Catagory:Reading

Set a specific power goal Most people are surprised to learn that the reason they're not getting what they want in life is because their goals are too small. And too vague. And therefore have no power. Your goals will never be reached if they fail to excite your imagination. What really excites the imagination is the setting of a large and specific power goal. Usually, a goal is just a goal. But a power goal is a goal that takes on a huge reality. It lives and breathes. It provides motivational energy. It gets you up in the morning. You can taste it, smell it, and feel it. You've got it clearly pictured in your mind. You've got it written down. And you love writing it down because every time you do it fills you with clarity of purpose. In his audiotape series, "Visioneering," my old partner Dennis Deaton teaches the transforming power of lofty goals. Deaton talks about creating a "mental movie" that you watch as often as possible. He urges you to make it a movie that stars you—living the results of achieving your specific goal. Walt Disney left us many great things: Disneyland, Walt Disney World, great animated films, and Annette Funicello. But what I believe was his greatest gift was the summing up he did of his life's work: "If you can dream it," he said, "you can do it." A power goal is a dream with a deadline. The deadline itself motivates you. People who have created power goals start living on purpose. They know what they're up to in life. How can you tell if you've got a big enough and real enough power goal? Simply observe the effect your goal has on you. It's not what a goal is that matters; it's what a goal does. **** “Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you’re going to do now and do it.” Will Durant historian

The idea of a tapeworm being in the human body is not exactly a pleasant thing to consider. However, this entire scenario gets worse when you then discover the facts about the longest one that has ever been uncovered within the human body. The exact details of who had it are difficult to ascertain, but doctors reported that one individual who was complaining of being unwell actually had a tapeworm inside their body that measured a staggering 33m. For others, that is over 108ft of tapeworm, which makes you wonder how on earth their body was able to operate and do anything at all. Now, just imagine trying to pass that kind of thing all on your own. How numb would your legs get just from sitting there? Bonus  There are approximately 100 million acts of sexual intercourse each day.  A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death.  Many insects can carry 50 times their own body weight. This would be like an adult person lifting two heavy cars full of people.  Elephants are the only mammals that cannot jump.  A honeybee can fly at fifteen miles per hour.  A polar bears skin is black. Its fur is actually clear, but like snow, it appears white.  The strongest muscle in the human body is the tongue. (The heart is not a muscle).
