At the End of Pain, You’ll Often Find Success

Do you know why you find your keys in the last place you look? It is because it doesn't make sense to keep looking for them after you find them.

Ultimately, the key is to focus on the goal (not how you got to where you are), and to keep moving forward.

hat tip to Cliff Michaels

Here is a video from Eric Thomas, otherwise known as t he HipHop Preacher … It is called "Pain Is Temporary", and has a great message worth hearing.

For more of Eric Thomas, here is a link to his YouTube page & here is a link to his website.

Finally, here is a small reminder:

“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.” ~Zig Ziglar

Check-Out This Official Notice of Formal Apology
As a public service, I am sharing this Formal Apology from the Bureau of Communication.

Failure to use it has consequences.

For example, have you seen this video of what an angry father can do to his daughter's laptop?

Do you applaud the standard he is trying to teach her … or are you tempted to call Child Protective Services?

If she had just used the apology form …

Expect Extraordinary – Here’s a Video of Something Not to Try at Home
Sometimes normal isn't enough.

Playing safe is often a good strategy … But, sometimes you have to expect the extraordinary.

Did you see the strange guy doing a modified tight-rope circus routine during Madonna's Super Bowl half-time performance.

Well, it was more than that … did you see the guy bounce up and down as though that little rope was a trampoline?

What in the world was going on?

Well, the short answer is: slacklining. Or, if you want to get technical and specific, tricklining. According to California's Adventure Sports Journal , slacklining was invented in the early 1980s by two rock climbers.

As you may have guessed, the Super Bowl halftime cameo was a big moment for the young sport of slacklining—and for the talented, curly-haired slackliner who got the spotlight: Andy Lewis, aka Sketchy Andy . You've got to watch what he can really do!

Imagine what went into developing this skill. Was it thought … or something you forgot you could exercise?

What are you committed to expecting extraordinary about … starting now?

How committed do you believe these people were to to pursue and master such amazing ventures?

What could you do if you were willing to commit that fully?

Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for 2012

During this holiday season, I hope you are grateful for the things that are great in your life,
that you choose what you can use from the things weren't great …
and that you invest those lessons in your future.

The hardest part of finding a better way is often just remembering that there might be one.

Best wishes to you for a healthy, happy, and prosperous new year.

The Perfect Holiday Gift – A Yacht Built Like a Tropical Island

I know what I want for the holidays … an amazing island built right on a beautiful yacht.

HT KD

This was created by UK-based Yacht Island Designs.

As you can see, the design is inspired by tropical islands, with huts, a pool … and to top that … a volcano guaranteed not to erupt.

Since it's a yacht, it comes packed with VIP rooms, arcades, gym, lounges, spas and even a helipad. What a great place to do business?

The back of the yacht has a retractable beach deck and dock. Why go to the trouble of getting out to sea if you can't wake-board, jet-ski, or swim; right?

If you want to know how much it would cost to fuel-it-up or operate, it's probably not in your price range.

Hope you are having a happy holiday season.
