2. On Feelings

Feelings run the world. Feelings move us around as human beings. We love, we
lust, we anger, we feel joy, sadness, ambitious, amused, appreciative,
bored, calm, cheerful, compassionate, curious, and concerned, to name a few.
There are probably at least 500 emotions we can experience. In meditation, I
learn to be aware of my feelings, my breath, the grief and sorrow, the
tears. And so I strive to be mindful of my feelings in the feelings. When
this happens, it is very freeing. The mind is the principle element of
creation.

The Coach quotes Jack Kornfield . . ." the mind is just a thought factory
and like a pasta factory, spews out many shapes."

3. On A Great Story

Aneeta says that one of the best ways to generate an interest in who you are
and what you do is to tell a great story. Here are some of the laws of great
storytelling:

Keep your mouth shut and your ears open.
Begin your story with a question.
Speak to your audience just as you would your family or friends.
Notice what your audience is not saying.
If someone asks you a question then answer it briefly.
Remember to take a break when storytelling.
Invite your audience to participate in the storytelling.

Great Story'. Visit http://www.howtotellagreatstory.com to learn more.

4. On Irresistible Attraction

Coach Thomas Leonard reminds us that in a freely competitive world, whomever
provides the most value for a potential customer will secure the customer.
If you don't add value continuously, you will lose the customer. AND your
potential/current customer knows for sure what value is, because they'll
respond predictably and naturally when enough value is present. Help your
customer to buy from you by eliminating any blockages around price, fear,
availability, packaging, quality and your personality. Then the customer
won't have to think much about buying. They will just buy!

The Coach asks . . . are you ready to become irresistibly attractive for the
joy of it?

5. On Finding the 'F'

Read the following and find all the words that include the letter "f."

FEATURE FILMS ARE THE RESULT
OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY
COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE
OF YEARS.

Point: If we only see what we focus on then we get that. I have learned that
whatever I fear, I will attract into my life. Whatever picture I have in my
mind, I will attract.

The Coach believes . . . that it is best to focus on what we want, not on
what we don't want.

noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience,
which is the bitterest."
