Hello!
It's supposed to be a dreary weekend here in upstate New York so what a
perfect day
to discuss GRATITUDE.
I put a link to all the recent teleseminars at:
http://www.LeoQuinn.com/teleseminars
THANKS to all who participated.
This issue includes an article by another presenter from the $3000
seminar
I attended a few weeks ago. She made her fortune GIVING AWAY a
book written
in 1910! You can get a copy too.
If, like me, you realize you get more of what you expect or what you
focus on,
then this article will be a real eye-opener.
I've been reading alot about gratitude lately, quite frankly because I
have a lot
to be grateful for. And it seems the more grateful I am...the
MORE I have to
be grateful for. A vicious circle indeed! ;)
Just yesterday I got this nice note from a student...
"Hi,
I watched your video this morning, that's cool. It's nice to put
a face
to the voice. I bought your book, and was really excited about it
and thinking
maybe now I can get out of debt. I've tried other methods, but
your method
looks like it's working for me....As a matter of fact I will pay
off one credit card bill at the end of this month, that otherwise I
wouldn't
have been able to paid off in four or six months. I must say I
was relieved to see
that this could work. Looks like
I'll be out of debt in three to two and half years.
Also, I've really
enjoy other information you've provided on your newsletter.
I just wanted to say thank you."

You don't need to be a genius to figure out that this note made my day.
I sure would love to be jaded by getting notes like this but I don't get
enough of them. ;)
If you want to see the video she referred to it's at:

If you don't yet have my program:

There is an exercise outlined in this article (no, not that kind!) that
I am going to do for the next 21 days starting on Monday.
I invite you to do the same and report on your progress.
Most importantly, THANK YOU for reading my newsletter. Hundreds
if not thousands
of people who got this issue will delete it unread or never bother to
read it.
Tens of millions of people would love to do what I do and make a living
at it.
I can only do this because of you. Thank you.
Now, on with the show...

Thank And Grow Rich
By Rebecca Fine
No, that title isn't the written expression of my old Okie* accent
kicking in. "Thank" is EXACTLY the right word! (My apologies to the
late Napoleon Hill, author of the classic, Think and Grow Rich.)
Gratitude is like a muscle. It takes regular exercise to strengthen
it and make it strong. And if you find yourself in a situation
where it SEEMS like there's nothing much to be grateful for, you'll
find it of little avail to try to FORCE gratitude. It's slippery
that way -- kind of like trying to force yourself to sleep when
you're wide awake.
In those times, the key is simply to relax and just let yourself be
WILLING to be grateful. To just let yourself look around with "soft
eyes." I heard it said once that there is no one who has so little
that gratitude is impossible -- and there is no one who has so much
that gratitude is inevitable.
It's a choice. In every moment.
Once your gratitude muscle is toned up from regular use and
repetition, you'll find things that were formerly difficult become
effortless -- just as walking up four or five flights of stairs
doesn't "wind" you when you're in shape.
Did you know that it's possible to establish a new habit with 21-28
consecutive days of practice? So since the habitual practice of
gratitude WILL change for the better the way you look at virtually
everything, why not get to work on it right now?
I promise you that THIS exercise is NOT boring, you don't need
special equipment or clothing, and you don't have to worry about
looking silly in front of strangers! ;-D
Here it is:
Every day for the next 21 days, express your gratitude and
appreciation to one or more people -- via email, phone, notes or
cards, or in person. It might be gratitude for something we think
of as small and (seemingly) insignificant -- a kind word, a smile
of encouragement. It might even be asking to speak to the
supervisor of someone who gives you wonderful service in a shop or
restaurant in order to offer praise and appreciation.
This last one is especially powerful. Samuel Goldwyn (one of the
founders of Metro Goldwyn Mayer, the giant movie studio) once said,
"When somebody does something good, applaud. You'll make two people
happy." When you acknowledge and thank someone in a PUBLIC way, you
get to spread the good feelings around even more widely!
You might also want to express gratitude for something that feels
really "big" -- like finally saying thanks to that favorite teacher
who made an impossible subject interesting or someone who believed
in you when it seemed like no one else did. It might be saying
thank you to God, however you conceive of your Higher Power.
Do this CONSCIOUSLY -- and with gusto, flair, and style!
Once, to thank a friend, I bought a poster board and markers and
made a big silly sign, then took the subway all the way to the top
of Manhattan and hung it in tree in a tiny park. I then called my
friend and told her to look out the window!
That was nearly 20 years ago and it still makes us grin to think of
it.
Take a few minutes to make a gratitude list -- everyone you can
think of that you can thank in the next 21 days. Keep adding to it.
This is not a place where seeing how little you can do to just "get
by" makes any sense at all. This is a place where you want to see
HOW MUCH you can do! Make a game of it. Have FUN.
If you want to give yourself (and the world) some extra voltage,
write a note of appreciation to -- gasp! -- a political leader.
"Remember," Mr. Wattles tells us, "that they are all helping to
arrange the lines of transmission along which your riches will come
to you, and be grateful. This will bring you into harmonious
relations with the good in everything, and the good in everything
will move toward you."
For some of us right now, this may be a HUGE challenge. Well,
that's exactly the point! And the results of building the gratitude
habit are huge, too. Look for the good. Seek the common ground.
Focus on what unites rather than separates. "More life to all, and
less to none."
Now, while you're engaged in acknowledging and expressing your
gratitude, notice how it makes you FEEL. (And how that great
feeling lingers and makes EVERYTHING look better!)
One word of warning: Don't do it with the idea of the other person
responding in kind. That may or may not happen. But this exercise
isn't about that; it's about what feeling and expressing gratitude
does for YOU.
I'll go first. Thank you for reading this! You have no idea how
helpful it is to me personally to have you holding me accountable
every month and helping me get better at "practicing what I
preach."
I appreciate you! And you know, just in case this finds you having
one of those "haywire" days, there are a LOT of other people who
appreciate you, too, even though they may not have said so lately.
Believe it! You are a gift to the whole planet, and I am grateful.
* Note: If you don't know what an "Okie" is, it's a person from the
state of Oklahoma here in the U.S. To non-Okie ears, Okie-speak
seems to be delivered with a rather distinctive "twang." ;-)

P.S. Need some fast cas*h? Look in your closet! I
know right now
I'm sitting on at least $ 2000 worth of stuff I could sell on eBay.
If you know "how to" eBay, get started. If not here is a
great resource I've found...

"Thanks for the link to Emergency Cas*h Generators! I don't
usually
fall for such things, since most of them are rip-offs, but I
took a chance on this one because the link came from you. And I
love it!
The ideas are original and clever. There's an idea there for just
about
anyone -- extravert or introvert -- and it's triggered so many
additional
ideas of my own!" LuAnn
