Help me stop Rita (Ike)

Help Me Stop Rita (Ike)
by Dr. Joe Vitale
As I type these words, people in Houston are scrambling to leave the city.
The Mayor has urged many to evacuate.
The next hurricane, Rita, is bigger and badder than Katrina, and it's headed this way.
Yes, our area is in the path of the hurricane, too.
With luck, by the time it hits mainland Texas, it will have dropped from a category 5 to a category 1 hurricane. We're stocking up on supplies, like everyone else.
While the world is still reeling from the effects of Katrina, we're now bracing for something that could be just as bad, or worse.
As I listen to the news, and watch people, the key word that everyone says or seems to breathe is "victim."
We're victims of storms.
We're victims of chance.
We're victims of a poorly run government.
We're victims of gas prices, gas shortages, inflation, recession, taxes, wars, and now -- the worst of all -- Mother Nature.
I'm going to say something unusual. It may upset some people. I'm hoping it will inspire you. Here goes:
You have more power than you think.
While you may not want to stand in the path of Rita, you don't have to cower under the bed.
As odd as it may sound, I believe that if enough of us think positive, we can create a counter storm of sorts. We can protect ourselves and our loved ones with our thoughts.
I've described and proved this with the research in the back of my book, "The Attractor Factor."
Nineteen studies *proved* that when a large group of people hold positive intentions, those intentions radiate out and become reality.
No, I'm not saying ignore the storm warnings. I'm saying don't get caught up in the fear that the warnings often trigger.
Look. If you think the storm will get you, then it's already gotten you. You're living in fear.
Your life is dark, gloomy and in a cage. The media is flawless at whipping us into fear.
So I suggest ignoring the media. It's not information, it's propaganda. It gets large groups of people to think negative, which of course then becomes reality.
Why can't we do the opposite?
Why can't we get large groups of people
to think positive?
At this very moment, as I type this and you read this, all is well.
Isn't it?
Aren't you ok?
Aren't you feeling fine right now?
Yes, be sure to have batteries and water and supplies.
But also check the storehouse in your mind.
Are you living in fear, or living in trust?
Are you focused on the negative, or are
you doing something to create a positive?
We are all, always, at choice.
My plea is that the readers of my ezine -- you -- will stop, breathe, and focus; pray, or in some positive way send out an energy that will help dissolve the fear in and around us.
I'm asking you to do this on Saturday, the day Rita is scheduled to visit Texas.
As I was finishing this article, UPS delivered two books to me. Both are timely and worth mentioning.
"Unconditional Bliss" says you can find
happiness in the face of hardship.
I think this is relevant. While the media is making us shake in our boots, we can choose to take care of ourselves and others *while* remaining happy.
Happiness is a choice.
The other book looks just as fascinating.
It's "Megatrends 2010" by Pat Aburdene.
To my surpirse (and delight), the book
declares that the future will be more
focused on spirit.
Well, let's create the future right now.
Let's focus on spirit.
What I'm asking you to do is be happy,
right now. Smile. Send that loving energy out, in the direction of Texas. Intend for all to be well, for, in reality, all is well.
In fact, pretend you are the eye of the
hurricane. That's the center where all
is at peace. *Be* that peace and send
that peace from the eye to the hurricane itself, imagining it dropping in intensity.
We can make a difference.
It begins with you.
What will you choose to think?
Love,
Joe

my freshman daughter serving for her varsity volleyball team i admit it, i am a proud dad .

Sometimes it not always about winnng.

I am so proud of her work ethic and her determination.

She has no sub conscious blocks like I have been clearing through the use of "The Missing Secret" by Dr. Joe Vitale.

She sets her mind and goes about doing it.

With the great attitude she already has, I expect for her to continue to achieve and surpass any goals she may set for herself.

(Now if I can just get her to clean her room) :) hahahaha

A Simple 6-Step Process For Creating Hot Product Ideas. Part 1

Hey Ya'll,

Thanks to Marlon Sanders for this lesson.

Why You Can't Create Ideas In A Vacuum and HowTo Get Unstuck and Make Those Juicy, Profitable ProductIdeas Flow Like Water From a Fire hose.....

Let's start......

As you know, unlike most other teachers of marketing, I teach and practice using a 12-product survey to select the winning product idea you create.

Now, the mechanics of how to do this are in the ProductDashboard. But today I want to focus on how you come up with 12 product ideas to begin with.

Step one: Gather raw materials for your idea generation

You can't create out of a vacuum. You need stimuli to jump start your creative juices. Here are a few ideas:

a. Surf your favorite topics on Amazon.com.
What I've found is you'll typically come across books with great titles that no one knows about or aren't even in stock.

Make a list of any such hot titles that you find in your search.

b. Take a trip to the bookstore and buy magazines witharticles that have a relationship to your topic.

Even if your niche is very narrow, there are probably magazines you can find with articles related to your topic.

c. Try a search on newslibrary.com

This is a spiffy online site that searches a large numberof newspapers and magazines.

Print out any articles that look interesting and are somehow related to your topic.

d. Keep a swipe file where you dump articles, notesor tidbits that have the essence of a good idea in them.

e. Search blog posts and ezine articles for juicy tidbits that grab your attention.

Search your topic on technorati.com and print out any blog posts that look intriguing. Go to ezinearticles.com, search your topic and look for articles with great titles or meaty information inside. Print those puppies out.

f. Search prnewswire.com and businesswire.com for pressreleases related to your topic or target audience.

Print 'em out and stick 'em in your swipe.

g. Look for forum posts with high numbers of views.

When you see forum posts with high readership numbers, print those out.

Step two: Review your S.E.T. trends

Last week I talked about identifying social, economic and technology changes.

Before you start your idea generation, review whatever you've come up with. And as you look through magazines, newspapers, articles, blogs and web sites, print out any new S.E.T. factors that come to your attention.

Drop these into a S.E.T. swipe or research file.

Step three: Spend an hour or two reading over all your raw data ... the blog posts, ezine articles, magazine articles, forum posts, amazon book titles and S.E.T.factors.

Let all those pieces of data collide in your little brain all at once.

NOW you have the makings of good ideas. You aren't creating from a vacuum. You are creating from the contiguous association of materials and ideas.

That is, you're mixing that information in your head all at once, letting your mental synapses fire, link upconnections and create ideas for you.

Ok...that's it for today. Tomorrow I will bring you steps 4-6 from Marlons article.
