I am not a Deepak fan - maybe I am not at this level yet - I am still a bit pragmatic in my spiritual journey - HOWEVER - the Hicks seem to hit home with me! I of course found some very useful inputs from the notes - but they were from Brian - thank you Brian!

I hope everyone is have a wonderful day and I look forward to meeting all of you here again tomorrow.

PS did you give gratitude at gratitude log yet? you used it is a great experience

I absolutely love the discipline portion (can you tell I am in the Army!!! lol) I just didn't have it in my life as far as my spiritual life is concerned - and now i know - FINALLY that this is hard work - just like anything worth doing and to see any benefit I must act as if I am on this journey EVERYDAY - meditate, read, take care of myself, live with INTEGRITY - my to do list has grown - but now there are many more MUST DOs!

Great note - I look forward to reading his book.

I am in the process of making a list of all books mentioned in each note - if anyone is interested please let me know.

Take care all.

hello everyone - I hope you are having a great Tuesday!!! If you are like me I am getting a bit sad to see the ending of the PH Challenge - but I know that it is my responsibility to continue this journey on my own - to have the discipline to continue. But it has been amazing to this point and I hope all of you have found new zest for your journeys.

I must admit I was not a big fan of Dr. Dyer before the PN Challenge - I just thought he was a bit much for me - but I have to tell you I have become a fan and ready to follow -

The as if idea really really got me - I ask myself those questions everyday - and with some great answers.

I have a friend (really it isn't me) who is married and has been reeling from an extramarital affiar gone bad. He has been suffering quite a bit (I know I know he deserves it). But this is what happened - he kept focusing on the relationship - the good - how it made him feel - etc. The out of now where another woman starts communicating with him in appropirate manner (for a married man).
I was floored - he was a perfect example of the law of attraction - seriuosly this relationship almost killed him, could have (probably should have) destroyed his marrage and the life he knew - but he couldn't let the thoughts of the good things go - and wham there was another opportunity.
Once he told me his quote was "why does God put these situations in front of me" my response - "the universe will give you what you ask for"
Strange analogy I know - but seemed to fit.

Have a great night everyone.

Hello All - Great to be back - was out for a couple of weeks! Glad to see everyone's comments.
the "attend your own lectures" comment - hit home - I find myself doing that quite often - I should listen to myself and actually do what I have the nerve to tell other people to do!
Read "Ask and it is Given" - FANTASTIC book - changed my life - now I have the soundtrack in my head telling me when I am thinking wrong!! And, I had a real life experience with the law of attraction. Bear with me because it shocked me when I realized it.

This note reminds me of a dear friend that was in the Army with me in Iraq. This fellow officer - was never shaken and always seem to find the good in any situation - at the time it was a bit annoying - I mean come on man complain about something!!! LOL anyway I gave him the nickname of Papa Smurf - because if Papa Smurfed got upset - you knew it was bad!!! LOL Ahh good times.

If you haven't tried the Gratitude log online do it now!! It is a great habit enforcer to make you think of something you are grateful for.

And I love the habit reference - the people I admire have wonderful success focused habits - exercise, mediation, eating right, etc. - so it is time for me to incorporate those and start waiting for the "right" time.

Last note - I have had the Japanese characters for Kaizen tattooed on my right arm for several years now - it is time to actually practice that.

Have a great night everyone.

Hello everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.

Quck story, I was at my daughter's church on sunday and the guest minister spoke about "finding god's calling" I was thinking - Holy cow, I can't get away from this PN stuff even at a church I don't belong to!!! LOL It was kind of spoky though.

Love this note - I especially like lining goals with skills - so many times I get discouraged from the big goals and negate the little ones (ie getting six pack abs is hard - but doesn't mean I can't get a 4 pack!).

Also, I believe that if you are not used to achieve goals - you have to retrain your thought process and brain how to and that you can achieve realistic goals - so the way I read the transforming adversity section is that we should select a goal no matter "how big" that we can achieve and move toward it. Any thoughts

Have a great monday everyone.

First, I hate to bring in some bad news - but I just received an email from a friend of mine that works for the UN at Haiti. He relayed a terrible story of how a co worker had to sacrifice saving her two older children to save the life of her new born toddler. Her husband died as well.

I know this is not the time and place for such news - but that really hit me.

One thing about the scientist who thought we would exploded at 30 miles per hour - they just didn't think that they BELIEVED it - big difference - We know believe in things like anti matter - are we wrong as well? So my suggestion about today's reading is that you shouldn't just review what you think to be true but what you BELIEVE to be true and then question your beliefs.

Have a great day everyone.

Chris - thank you for the reply - I always wonder why I let myself down on the things I "think" I want to do - part of it is just doing it - thank you again and I will certainly research Bauer
