I want to tell you the story Bob Protor told me today on Six Minutes to Success, I tell you everyday I learn from this man, I want to be one day as impressive and knowlegable about the mind as he is. This man is truly a blessing to the world. He is one on not many still alive that you can learn from...He is a master of thought.
The Oak is not the acorn, the potential is in the acorn, the pattern plan is in the acorn, the nucleous is in the acorn, but the Oak is in the Universe.
Do you know that the acorn will die unless you place it in an enviroment that is condusive to its unfoldment.
You and I grow by the same law.
If we are not planted in an enviroment that is condusive for our unfoldment we do the same thing, we wither and die. Just a formality when the end comes because we really never lived.
But if you take the acorn and you plant it properly in the earth a magnetic force is instantly set up and particles of energy that are in harmony with the pattern plan that is in the acorn they'll start marching right toward that acorn and when they touch it, they become one with it. They resonate, and the acorn does the only thing it can do it expands, grows roots, shoots come out the top and it attracts in the atmosphere all things in harmony with it.
See the root, the trunk, the bark, the branches and twigs, leaves, creates new and better acorns, all this happens because everything is attracted to the seed.
Your desire is like the seed, it controls what vibration you are in and the vibration your are in controls what you attract.
Stop and think what am I thinking about because that is what you are building.
If you get a chance watch the movie the Secret, But there is more to the secret that must be learned and experienced.
Make it a great day!

What to do in a sinking boat
It is always exciting when Jesus says to us, "Let's do a new thing." To me the phrase, "Let us go over to the other side" (Mark 4:35), is equivilant to saying, "Promotion is coming," or, "Blessings are on their way," or "Come up higher," or any variety of phrases God uses to communicate to us that it is time to change.
I am sure the disciples were excited to see what would happen on "the other side." What they did not expect or foresee was a raging storm on the way!
The disciples probably were not nearly as excited in the middle of their voyage as they may have been in the beginning,
Although God often calls us to launch out to a new destination. He usually does not let us know what is going to happen on the way. We leave the security of where we and start out for the blessings of the other side, but it is often in the middle where we encounter the storms.
The middle is often a place of testing.
The storm that the disciples experienced was no little "April shower" or harmless summer squall, but a storm of hurricane proportions.
The waves were not gently rolling and tossing, they were beating into the boat with such fury that it quickly filled with water. That would be enough to frighten anyone.
The storm was in full force,and Jesus was asleep! Does that sound familiar? Have you ever had times when you felt that you were sinking fast, and Jesus was asleep? You prayed and prayed and heard nothing from God. You spent time with him and tried to sense his presence, and yet you felt nothing. You searched for an answer, but no matter how hard you struggled against the wind and waves, the storm raged on and you did not know what to do about it.
We sometimes refer to those seasons as "the midnight hour" or the dark night of the soul."
At times like these, when it looks like the boat is sinking with us in it, we must use our faith. Jesus simply wanted his diciples to believe Him. He said, "Let us go to the other side." He expected them to believe that if He said it, it would happen. But, like us, they were afraid. Jesus calmed the storm, but He rebuked the disciples for their lack of faith.
It is vital to our future that we grow in faith, which shows confidence and trust in God. We must learn to conquer our fear and press on the other side. We must also learn to have peace and joy in the midst of the storm, not only when it has passed.

As You Have Believed
In Matthew 8:13 Jesus told the centurion that the healing he requested would be done as he believed. The centurion had a positive, believing attitude and Jesus did what he asked him to do.
Do you know that positive minds produce positive lives? Negative minds produce negative lives. Positive thoughts are always full of faith and hope. Negative thoughts are always full of fear and doubt.
Some people are afraid to hope because they have been hurt so much in their lives. They experience so many disappointments that they do not think they can face the pain of another one. Therefore, they refuse to hope so they will not be disappointed in case things do not work out as they hoped.
Disappointment hurts! But this type of behavior sets up a negative lifestyle. Everything becomes negative because the thoughts are negative. Remember, Proverbs 23:7 says, "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he...."
Many years ago, I was extremely negative. I always say that if I thought two positive thoughts in a row my mind would cramp. My whole philosophy was this: "If you do not expect anything good to happen, then you will not be disappointed when it does not."
I thought that my avoidance of hope would protect me from being hurt. I had encountered so many disappointments in life- so many devastating things had happened to me-that I was afraid to believe that anything good might happen. I had a terribly negative outlook on everything. Since my thoughts were all negative, so were my words and therefore, so was my life.
When I really began to study God's Word and to trust him to restore me, one of the first things I realized was that the negativism had to go. I began to ssee the truth of Matthew 8:13- That it will be done for me as I have believed.
I do not mean to imply that you and I can get anything we want by just thinking about it. God has a perfect plan for each of us, and we cannot control Him with our thoughts and words. But we must think and speak in agreement with His will and plan for us.
If you do not have any idea what God's will is for you at this point, at least begin by thinking, "I may not know God's plan for me, but I know He loves me. Whatever He does will be good, and I will be blessed."
Begin to think positively about your life: Practice being positive in each situation that arises. Even if whatever is taking place in your life at the moment is not so good, expect God to bring good out of it, as he has promised in His Word.

"Fifty-Seven Famous Alibis By Old Man IF
People who do not succeed have one distinguishing trait in common. They know all the reasons for failure, and have what they believe to be air-tight alibis to explain away their own lack of achievement. Some are clever and few are justifieable by facts. But alibis cannot be used for money.
The world wants to know only one thing- HAVE YOU ACHIEVED SUCCESS?
A character analyst compiled a list of the most commonly used alibis. As you read the list, examine yourself carefully, and determine how many of these alibis, if any, are your own property.
Remember, too the philosophy presented in this book makes every one of these alibis obsolete.
IF I didn't have a wife and family....
IF I had enough "pull"
IF I had money
IF I had a good education.....
IF I could get a job.....
IF I had good health.....
IF I only had time......
IF times were better....
IF other people understood me .....
IF conditions around me were only different..
IF I could live my life again......
IF I did not fear what "they" would say....
IF I had a chance......
IF other people didn't " have it in for me".....
IF nothing happens to stop me.....
IF I were only younger.....
IF I could only do what I want......
IF I had been born rich.....
IF I could meet "the right people"....
IF I had the talent that some people have...
IF I dared assert myself....
IF I only had embraced past opportunities.....
IF people didn't get on my nerves.....
IF I didn't have to keep house and look after children....
IF I could save some money......
IF the boss only appreciated me......
IF I only had somebody to help me.....
IF my family understood me....
IF I lived in a big city......
IF I could just get started.....
IF I were only free.....
IF I had the personality of some people......
IF I were not so fat....
IF my talents were known
IF I could just get a break
IF I could only get out of debt....
IF I hadn't failed......
IF I only knew how.....
IF everybody didn't oppose me.....
IF I didn't have so many worries
IF I could marry the right person....
IF people weren't so dumb....
IF my family were not so extravagant
IF I were sure of myself....
IF luck were not against me
IF I had not been born under the wrong star
IF it were not true that "what is to be will be"
IF I did not have to work so hard...
IF I hadn't lost my money
IF I lived in a different neighborhood
IF I didn't have a past
IF I only had a business of my own.
IF other people would only listen to me....
IF******and this is the greates of them all ****I had the courage to see myself as I really am, I would find out what is wrong with me, and correct it, then I might have a chance to profit by my mistakes and learn something from the experience of others, for I know that there is something WRONG with me, or I would now be where I would have been IF I had spent more time analyzing my weaknesses, and less time building alibis to cover them.
Building alibis with which to explain away failure is a national pastime. The habit is as old as the human race, and is fatal to success! Why do people cling to their pet alibis?
The answer is obvious. They defend their alibis because THEY CREATE them! A man's alibi is the child of his own imagination. It is human nature to defend one's own brain child.
Building alibis is a deeply rooted habit. Habits are difficult to break, especially when they provide justification for something we do. Plato had this truth in mind when he said, " The first and best victory is to conquer self. To be conquered by self is, of all things, the most shameful and vile."
Another philosopher had the same thought in mind when he said, "It was a great surprise to me when I discovered that most of the ugliness I saw in others, was but a reflection of my own nature." "It has always been a mystery to me," said Elbert Hubbard, "Why people spend so much time deliberately fooling themselves by creating alibis to cover their weaknesses. If used differently this same time would be sufficient to cure the weakness, then no alibis would be needed.
In parting, I would remind you that "Life is a checkerboard, and the player opposite you is TIME. If you hesitate before moving, or neglect to move promptly, your men will be wiped off the board by TIME. You are playing against a partner who will not tolerate INDECISION!
Previously you may have had a logical excuse for not having forced Life to come through with whatever you asked, but that alibi is now obsolete, because you are in possession of the MASTER KEY that unlocks the door to Life's bountiful riches.
The Master Key is intangible, but it is powerful! It is the privilege of creating, in your own mind, a BURNING DESIRE for a definite form of riches. There is no penalty for the use of the Key, but there is a price you must pay if you do not use it. The price is FAILURE. There is a reward of stupendous proportions if you put self and force Life to pay whatever is asked.
The reward is worthy of your effort. Will you make the start and be convinced?

24 Hour Perspective
The 24 Hour Perspective
Not long ago I woke up with a "brown" taste in my mouth and everything started to just go wrong! I remember thinking, "Why is everyone against me!" Then I stopped and thought, "Wait a minute! Not everyone is against me!"
I grabbed a note pad and started writing down the names of everyone that was openly resisting my efforts to just live in peace and joy. Three....That's right - 3 people! Then I thought about how many people were "in favor" of me and supported me in some way. Double digits! Then I thought globally. Most people don't even know I exist and out of the ones that do know me and have some interaction with me they remain involved in their own lives and are basically "neutral" toward me.
Then I started thinking about how out of ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE EARTH only 3 people resisted me and how much time did I spend a day interacting with these three people? On even the worst days I couldn't think of more than a few minutes of actual interaction. So then I thought about ALL THE NEGATIVE ENCOUNTERS that I had in a single day. You know everything from the guy who cuts you off in traffic to the rude comment by someone I don't even know. I was hard pressed on even the WORST day to find more than 5-15 minutes of actual interaction with unpleasant people a day!
This reality hit me with insight! There have been times when my 24 hour day has been ruined by 15 minutes (and in most cases less than 15 minutes) a day of actual interaction with negative people! How could that be possible? I survived the 15 minutes so why did this ruin my entire day? Even when I was "cussed" and "cursed" the words didn't hurt me and the curses never came to pass. Everything that was spoken against me was a threat and did not manifest as a reality! How could something as false and "unreal" as a "threat" ruin my day?
The answer is simple. The threat got into my own thinking and contaminated my mind. People annoyed me for less than 15 minutes and I annoyed myself in my thinking for 23 hours 45 minutes or more a day and I ruined my day! Now I have learned to put my focus on the positives in my life and to be grateful for all that I have!
Life is all about choices. Is the glass half full or half empty? You decide.

Truth
Truth involves establishing an aware relationship between your inner core and the circumstances in your life. Centering in truth involves the ability to perceive a fundamental wisdom, reflected within yourself and the people you know.
Truth is transformed into power when you dissolve prejudice and make yourself receptive to the world as it really is. Truth's power can be a remarkable force indeed — yet is rarer than generally imagined. It can be maintained only by cultivating a genuine openness to things as they are — a willingness to see, rather than merely look.
Whenever your inner life is clouded, your influence in the world is under a shadow. If you are fearful, you will be attacked; if you cloak genuine mysteries in dogma, opportunities for new insight will be lost. If you vacillate in upholding your principles, you will be tested. Yet, when you are firm and strong, the power of truth can break through even the most stubborn minds.
In any debate, the power to perceive the truth in the other side's argument is essential to achieving success. It is possible to influence even the most difficult people, or improve the most difficult circumstance, through the power of universal truth — for unvarnished truth is something to which all things naturally respond. Get in touch with the part of yourself that is aware of this universal force. Cultivate this inner resource, and you will become adept at using it to bond with others to support a common purpose.
