Sometimes the unexpected happen



Did you ever go to a meeting thinking good thinks could come from the meeting, but in most cases they don’t? That is normal. If your’ in sales, you might have to make 50 calls before you get an order.

Will today I went to this meeting of business people that were motivated to get some things going. Everyone want to see how they could help each other. What I great feeling.

When I left the room I had several serious conversations with people that want me to help them. I didn’t have to do anything but answer their question and give them some follow up.

The minute I got to my office I followed with each person. It didn’t take long I started to get responses. Not bad for a couple hours of meeting people.

The unexpected thing is that I only knew just few people at the meeting. When you have people that want to help others is amazing what energy starts to build.

After everyone had their say, people started saying how happy they were with some ones service that was at the meeting. You couldn’t pay for that type of positive endorsement.
You bet I’ll be at the next luncheon and you know what I am going to see how many at the luncheon that I can help.

The old saying is giving and receiving it a cycle so it important that keep the cycle going. I am going to do I can not only to those that are part of this group, but any and everyone
.
I will not expect anything but it interesting how many times the unexpected happens.
Happiness with health and wealth to you

It is time to make it happen



How many times have you told yourself “I’ll start next week” and then next week comes and goes and you still haven’t started. This is not good. What it is really saying, you are not committed to this goal or project.

If that is the case go back in re-evaluate what you really want out of life and the goals you have chosen are the ones that will get you there. Let’s put it another way, maybe you didn’t do enough homework in choosing you goals. If that is the case take a deep breath and start over
.
Things change in our lives and at times we don’t even know it. That is why it is good to regularly review your mission statement, goals and objects and of course you action plan. This will keep you on course.

When you do these things you can constantly stay on of making things happen. That is a very satisfying feeling to know you are going where you want to go and doing the things that will assure you will achieve you goals and objects.

Dong these things are important, but remember to be flexible. Things will change in your life, like new opportunities. When you get to fixated on where you want to go you can miss things that can lead you to even better things.

If you do this you will make many positive things happen in your life and they will happen without a lot of effort. That is because you are working with the powers of the universe. When you don’t fight it is amazing what can get done.

Stay on track, but don’t get stuck in a rut. Keep your mind open to all possibilities and you will find you will make things happen.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Be healthy be happy



Have you noticed happy people are generally healthy? Even if their sick they always are in good spirits. One things I they laugh and laugh and laugh some more.

Now for the good part about why you should laugh. Laughter strengthens our immune systems and helps us recover from illness, as well as brings joy into our lives. Now, that’s pretty powerful stuff. And, that is just the beginning.

A good, hearty laugh can help:
• Reduce stress
• Lower blood pressure
• Elevate mood
• Boost immune system
• Improve brain functioning
• Protect the heart
• Connect you to others
• Foster instant relaxation
• Make you feel good

Now we are getting somewhere, but we are not finished by a long shot.
Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases infection-fighting antibodies. It increases our attentiveness, heart rate, and pulse.

That’s good to know. But there is more.

Laughter can be a great workout for your diaphragm, abdominal, respiratory, facial, leg, and back muscles. It massages abdominal organs, tones intestinal functioning, and strengthens the muscles that hold the abdominal organs in place. Not only does laughter give your midsection a workout, it can benefit digestion and absorption functioning as well. It is estimated that hearty laughter can burn calories equivalent to several minutes on the rowing machine or the exercise bike (and you know how much I love the bike).

If you want your brain stimulated, laugh, because laughing enhances learning. If you want to release muscle tension, laugh. If you are psychologically stressed, laugh. Laughter keeps the brain alert. If you want to retain more information, laugh.
Now we are getting somewhere. Are you ready for more? Well, here we go.

Rather than get upset when things are not going your way, laugh. Laughing helps you, and also the people around you, feel better. If you need to release pent-up feelings of frustration and/or anger, laugh. Laughter is a socially acceptable way to it. When you laugh, you reduce tension, which can be very relaxing.

Are you starting to become a believer? I sure hope so! But, there is still more.
To minimize a situation that is causing you anxiety, visualize a humorous situation.
Laughter helps to bind us together. When we laugh together it helps us become closer to one another. Laughter is better enjoyed when it is shared with others.

If you want to be healed, laugh. Doctors are giving more patients laugh therapy to reduce stress.

We have only touched on laughter as a part of being happy. There is so much more how happiness is good for you and I’ll touch on that later. So for now have a laugh on me and improve your health.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Improve everyday



If we improve our self a little every day in a year we can make some fantastic improvements. Here is what I am going to work at big time this year. When I am driving I judge others driver’s bad driving skills and I am not very pleasant about it at times.

One thing my driving judging does is it upset Micki, my wife. Who wants your spouse upset with you, I don’t. Second it such a waste of energy. Do you think the person that’s driving poorly really knows they are upsetting you, I don’t think so.
Judging is the constant evaluation of things as right or wrong, good or bad. When your’ constantly evaluating, classifying, labeling, analyzing, you create a lot of turbulence in side you. This turbulence constricts the flow of energy within you and limits your pure potentiality.

How am I going to stop not judging when I am driving? One is to constantly remind myself to not judge other drivers. Two I wear a rubber band on my wrist and every time I judge another driver I going to snap it. This sound a lot like Pavlov dog training and it is.

Shortly I am going to test my not judging will driving. It is my sincere hope that this will be the year of no judging for me. Look at the advantage for me. Micki will be much happier, I won’t be wasting as much energy and I’ll reduce my inner turbulence.

I will do this by working on it every day, thus every day I’ll get better and better. By the end of the year I will have won the battle of judging other driver. Then I can work on just not judging anyone.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

In with the new



Out with the old; get those things that you didn’t like out of your mind. Let’s look at it realistically, what has happened, no matter how much you want to change them you can’t. Wasting energy trying is only a waste of effort, so save that energy for things you can make an impact on.

Take this first day of 2011 and think about the things you want to do. Make sure they fit with your personal mission. Oh, you don’t have one; will maybe it is time to develop a personal mission statement for yourself. What it does for you is gives you a system to keep you on track.

Here is something I do at the first of the year and it is still winter I think of the first of the year as spring. I can hear the birds with their wonderful songs; see the flowers blooming in all their many colors, watch the grass turning that wonder green and the leaves budding on all the trees. What I see is the return of life, so it is time for my personal rebirth.

Do things that are important to you betters and do them better every day. By doing things a little better every day just think of how much you will improve by the end of 2011. You will be amazed of your progress.

Plan this year to take time to be thankful for what has been given to you and take time to help others reach their goals. By helping other you will find many of the secrets that will help you achieve your own goals.

In with the new and don’t look back. Keep focused on your goals for 2011. Do the things that will get you there and you will have an amazing 2011.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Why I am a Happiness expert?



To me is very simple, I love being happy. I loved being happy so much I started studying happiness. That prompted me to write my first book “Happiness in 8 Steps”. It is book everyone should read. It is book that takes you on the journey on how to improve happiness in your life.

Many of those that have read “Happiness in 8 Steps” have told me it has so many things that they knew, but didn’t practice in their everyday living.
Here are the 8 steps and you can decide.

One is to smile, everyone likes a smile. Two is to show gratitude everyone likes a thank you. Three giving, when you give of yourself you are truly giving. Four is being healthy, being healthy makes life more fulfilling. Five is stay in shape that helps with having good health. Six is being around people you love that make life worth living. Seven laugh, laughing does so many good things you and others. Eight live your life in the present, that past is the past and you can’t change it and future is but to come.

There is a lot more to happiness and that is what I have found out in my studies. Being grump is not being happy I and wrote a book on the “ Dump the Grump” it will be in print early January.

Happiness builds health is something else I found in my studies. Part of building your personal health is to understand you self and others. Why is that important, because by better understanding you self and others you greatly reduce your personal stress. Stress is hard on you immune systems. When your immune systems aren’t working will it is easier to get sick.

I became an expert on happiness because I saw such a need for people to raise their level of happiness and by doing that they can improve the quality of their life.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Do the little things right and…


Do the little things right and so many things go right, like the big things. Here is a story about a guy who made the little things right and made something happiness that many didn’t think could happen.

Alan Mulally is now the president and CEO of Ford Motor Company. When he was hired from Boeing he was top executive there, but was turned down to be the CEO at Boeing. Ford offered him the job as CEO and president and he took it, even thought Ford was considered one of the big three to go out of business.

When Alan started his new job at Ford he took some time to look at the inner workings of Ford. After some time he called a meeting of his top managers and told them to give a report on the status of their area of responsibility.

Alan started the meeting by asking some questions, like why do we have so many wiring harnesses for the same car platform. He also brought up many others things that he thought needed to be addressed. It is not important that you know what a wiring harness is or a car platform, but it important to know he saw a lot of waste.

As you might imagine the first meeting was a lengthy one. What came out of the first meeting is that each manager was accountable to keep the organization fully informed of the progress of their group.

The little things mean a lot to Alan and it didn’t take long for the management team to understand that. You as a manager had to keep the organization up to date on your team’s progress and if it wasn’t doing will you had do let everyone know. If you didn’t then Alan had the whole Ford management team help you get on track
.
Ford went from looking like a loser to being the most admired car manufacture in the United States.

Next time I’ll give some of the little things that Alan did to turn Ford into a power house in the automobile business. What Alan taught Ford can help you do the little things right so the big things can happens.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Appreciation



So many times we don’t appreciate something tell we lose it. For example last week I got a terrible throat infection and I can say it stopped me in my tracks.
Off to the doctors and he agreed I was sick and gave me medication that would get me well and told me to go home and rest.

I took all the medication which took five days and stopped doing all the things I normally do, like walking 45 minutes a day and a 15 minute workout.

Now that I am feeling better I have greater appreciation of wellness. Now for the bad part, the doctor total me I was in an infectious stage, so don’t cough around people. That I tried to do, but I must have messed up some were, because Micki, my wife, now has the same thing I had.

The good part is we both got to the doctor in time so it didn’t turn into bronchitis. I am starting to feel a little better, but Micki is just in the beginning stages.

In a couple of days I should be able to get back to my routine. You know what I’ll appreciate the walking and workout more after being sick.

Maybe we should take an inventory of all the good things that we have and say a BIG thank you in appreciation of all the wonderful things we have in this life. It might be the family dog seating on your lap or going to a favorite friend’s house to visit.

Appreciate all the things you have been given because we never know when they won’t be there. When your little daughter wants you to read her a story, take the time and do it. Stop by your Mom and Dad’s house just to thank them for all they have done for you.

We all love to be appreciated, so take the time to let others know how much you appreciate them.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Why not laugh



Laughing is a good work out for your diaphragm, abdominal, respiratory, facial, leg and back muscles. Not only does laughter give your midsection a workout, it can benefit digestion and absorption functioning as well. It is estimated that hearty laughter can burn calories equivalent to several minutes on the rowing machine or the exercise bike (and you know how much I love the bike).

Bike and swimming are to two forms of exercise that I don’t care for. If there is nothing else to do I will do them, but they are on the bottom of my list.

Back to laughter. If you want your brain stimulated, laugh, because laughing enhances learning. If you want to release muscle tension, laugh. If you are psychologically stressed, laugh. Laughter keeps the brain alert. If you want to retain more information, laugh.

Now we are getting somewhere. Ready for more? Well, here we go.

Rather than get upset when things are not going your way, laugh. Laughing helps you, and also the people around you, feel better. If you need to release pent-up feelings of frustration and/or anger, laugh. Laughter is a socially acceptable way to it. When you laugh, you reduce tension, which can be very relaxing.

Are you starting to become a believer? I sure hope so! But, there is still more.
To minimize a situation that is causing you anxiety, visualize a humorous situation.
Laughter helps to bind us together. When we laugh together it helps us become closer to one another. Laughter is better enjoyed when it is shared with others.

If you want to be healed, laugh. Doctors are giving more patients laugh therapy to reduce stress.

When you hear laughter, go find out where it is coming from. Go there, listen, and if you have anything that can encourage more laughter, join in. There is something about laugher; it breeds on itself.

The above reason are good, but there is more and I’ll tell you them at a later time, but tell them keep laughing.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

We are never too old to learn



Studies now show that we can keep on learning no matter what your age. So who cares? We should all care? By continually learning the world becomes a wonderful place.

People today more than ever have to continue to keep pace with our changing world. Example having a PC was a very big deal 15 years ago. Today we carry devices that can fit in our pockets that our more powerful that the PC of 15 years ago.

Just like physical activity keeps your body in shape, keeping you mind active keeps you mind in shape. Manually adding numbers help keeps the mind in shape. Anything that works you brain is good.

By keeping your mind active it gains in mental strength or putting it another way use it or lose it and who want t lose it. Playing card, doing cross word puzzles or anything that challenges your mind helps build your mind.

My Dad was writing programs for is PC in dos when he was in his 80’s and a friend of mine, who is in his mid 80’s, is still consulting and is in great demand.

Learning is something we never have to stop doing. The great thing is there so much for us to learn. By learning new thing our lives become so much richer. We can accept change better, which helps relive life’s tension.

Do one thing each day that works your mind. By doing that you mind will forever expand and allow you to continue to grow. What is wrong with that? When you constantly learn new things and keep you mind active you enjoy more of the things that are going on around you.

Don’t let anyone tell you are too old to learn, because they are wrong. Keep your mind active and your life’s journey will be good one.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Celebrate



Happy birthday, thanksgiving and happy new years, these are all time for celebrations. We could fill up the whole page of celebrations and there would be important to you and me.

Let talk about what celebrations do for us, first celebrations help us remember. The 4th of July helps us remember the founding of our Country. Thanksgiving let us remember to be thankful for what we have. Remembering those things that have made us and our country a wonderful place to live in, is so important to keep us centered on how thankful we are.

Second celebrations make us feel good. The 4thof July picnic makes feel good about living in such a fantastic country. New Years eve we celebrate for a successful last year and looking forward to rewarding new-year. Then there is the birthday celebration, some people want to forget their age, but my Dad always said you want to have birthdays.

Third it is a time to celebrate that we have the opportunity to continually improve our self. If every day we get a little better just see how much better we’ll be at the end of the year. Just think if you wanted to get into better shape. If you started working out 10 minutes a day the first week and every week there after you added 1 minute by the end of the year you would be working out over 60 minutes a day.

When you celebrate your’ giving yourself a gift. Who deserves it more that you. You’re a good person, so soak up the energy you get from celebrating. Take the time to not only celebrate the big things, but take the time to celebrate the little thing. You will find life much more rewarding when you do.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Yes it s time to be THANKFUL



It is so easy at times to see all the bad things in the world. The question is can we control them? I think not, but let’s look at all the good things that are going around us daily.

Three weeks ago Micki, my wife, had knee surgery. It was more painful that she thought, but after two and half week things have gotten a lot better. The good thing is she is driving and insists on using here Porsche.

Just having her back doing the things she likes to do is enough to be thankful for. But there is more. Skip our oldest son last Wednesday had major hip surgery. The doctors said he should have full recovery, but he is going to have to take it slow recovery. For a guy who does triathlons not being super active will be a real strange.

Skip has gone through other things such shoulder reconstruction, three vertebrae frozen together plus knee and other body reconstruction. Ship was baseball player and has gone through all of this. Todd our youngest son played tackle football from the age of eight through four year of college and has never seen the inside of a hospital, except to see his brother.

We are told that both Micki and Skip are going to be as good as new and that’s a lot to be thankful for. But there is more. Our Dallas son, Todd, came in for Thanksgiving which a special treat.

Todd got to see Skip and being their not only brothers but good friends that was a good lift for Skip.

2011 is going to a GREAT year because we have everyone healthy. My new book will be out and I am looking forward to telling the story of Dump the Grump.

Being a care giver



A week ago Friday Micki had knee surgery. It was out patient, so she was home by 3:00 PM. They had her full of pain medication, thus she felt pretty good. We had some stronger medication for when the hospital medication wore off so I was feeling real good that Micki wasn’t going to have much pain. Was I wrong?

She didn’t want to take our pain medication tell she needed it, so we waited and waited. Then the pain came, not a little, but a whole lot. I have been told you don’t want to let the pain get ahead of the medication and now we were finding out why.

Here are the stories that were told to me by friend that have had their knees scoped. They told me a couple of day they were almost walking normal with little pain.

That didn’t happen to Micki here knee then here foot was just throbbing with pain. There was little sleeping and as time wore on here patience wore thin. This is when being the care giver can be challenging
.
What happened Saturday morning Micki fired me. Yes she fired me, now what I am going to do? Then the pain medication kicked in and she rehired me. That was a close one.

After a week Micki still has a lot of pain and I am doing my best to make sure she gets everything she want and needs. I must say I am not the best care giver, but I am working on continual improvement.

To let you know she can walk without crutches around the house, but when she is outside she needs the crutches.

The worst is over for Micki and now I have the big question. I am a bad care giver or is Micki a poor patient. Or could be a little of both. To tell you the truth I don’t care. What I care about is Micki is on the mend and smiling, so I am a happy guy.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Why is unemployment so high?



Let’s start with who creates jobs, small business. The question is why are they not hiring?

I’ll put the answer in a form of a question. If you didn’t know what your cost were going to be in the future what would you do? If your’ like most of us you would be reluctant about spending your money.

Here is a big question what our health cost going to be? What are your taxes going to be? What is the cost of all the new government regulation going to be?
To you hear a tone of uncertainly in those questions. People get nervous when there is too much uncertainly thus they don’t spend.

As the uncertainties start to get minimized, then small business will start to grow their businesses. At that time production will ramp up and there will be a need to hire.

It sounds simple to me. Take the uncertainty away and our economy will start to flourish, which mean unemployment will go down. That will mean more money in the economy and the cycle will continue to build.

Good news it seems the president is will to let the tax cut ride and the thinking is they will stay for two years. If that does happen one big uncertainly is gone.
Health care is important to all of us, but I think what was pasted needs to be re- examined so we don’t kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Raising energy cost just because some people think certain forms of energy a bad. I am not saying we don’t need to re-evaluate our whole energy needs, but to change everything right now is like trying to turn a massive oil freighter in ten minutes and that can’t happen

We are now at a point that some positive discussion will happen and from that dialog, things will be done so the most dynamic economy ever known to man can get recharged.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Make more out of life; see the glass as half full.



It all depends who you talk to. There are those that tell you the world is going bad and others are seeing opportunities that going to make them rich. Why such a different?

There are some people that always see the glass half empty. They are out to find the worst and they just find it most of the time. That is too bad because they might have found many things that could have their life better.

I’ll admit it I see the glass as half full. Do bad things happen to me, you bet. But, in the whole scheme of things I am doing quite well. There is an old saying “you get what you ask for” and if there is any truth to it, then doesn’t ask for bad things.

Here are some tips to see the brighter side of the world so when you get up in the morning think of all the good things that happened to you the previous day. This helps you get that boost to make the day a good one.

Don’t be around people that are happy when you not happy and don’t spend time worrying about what they tell you is wrong with you or your situation. I’ll say this again don’t be around these types of people.

Be around people that laugh, smile, say thank you and want to help others. When you’re around these folk your life is always in the sun light. Even if there is some rain in your life, remember rain is what makes the flowers grow.

Certain things you can’t pick, but is for sure you can pick your friends. Pick your friends wisely and then nurture their friendship. Sometimes you might not want to do something, but because they want to, do it. This will not happen often, but you will build even a stronger relationship with you friend if you do. You know something; you might even end up enjoying what you did with your friend.

Many times we over complicate the simplest things, so take my advice and don’t do that. Look at everyday as gift and enjoy them and while your’ doing that give a smile and a thank you to your fellow human being.

Things that go around come around, so keep a smile on your face and in your heart,
many wonderful things will happen to you.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Trust is critical



Whatever we do, to be successful there has to be trust. You don’t learn to trust you just have it in your heart. There is one thing about trust t you have to earn it.
One way to earn trust is be trustworthy. That might sound kind of dump, but let’s take look at what trustworthy means. You do what you say. When others can bank on your word you are known as a trustworthy person. That alone can be your strength that has people wanting to be on you team.

Are you perfect, I am not, so where I have flaws I let it be known that I am not perfect and ask for help to overcome my short comings? People will have a lot more confidence in you by you brings you short comings to their attention. With others having that knowledge you can be assured of their support.

There is nothing wrong with leading with your heart. Others feel better when they know you care about their well-being and that helps build a bond you with them. Don’t be afraid to exhibit good will and patience. It will further cement you relationship with people.

Support those that are around you. Let others know that they can depend on you. That helps builds confidence and faith in you.

Don’t just act interested in others be interested. People know if your’ truly sincere and if you are not really interested you have just turned them off. Develop a passion for wanting to know things about others that you regularly interact with. That will help you and them achieve the best results.

What is wrong with saying “Thank You”? Not one thing and people love to hear thank you and to give it more power let them know why your’ thanking them.
Example: Joe thank you for supporting the baseballs team party you helped it to be a great success. Now that wasn’t hard was it? Thank you is such an impacting word, so don’t use it sparingly.

When others trust you, you will achieve more that you can ever imagine.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Procrastination Can Be Very Stressful



Procrastination for example; since my mother loved music and liked playing the piano even more, mom said I needed to take piano lessons. I like music and even liked the piano, but I didn't like to practice. As a kid I had to play and that is what I did all week. Then the day of my music lesson I would be terrified, because I had not practiced, my teacher would be upset with me. I must say she sure had a lot of patience with me, because a week after a week I wasn't performing well at all, but she kept coming.

Do you want pressure? This was pressure. My teacher always had a piano recital and to top it off I had to memorize the music. The big night came and I was the third person to play. I peeked through the currents and saw it was very dark and the only light was on the stage. Ms. whatever her name was gave me instruction on how to approach to the piano. I thought she told me to walk around the piano, so and that is what I did. To this day I am sure that is what he said. I went walking on stage and going all the way around the piano. My mother about died.

I got to the piano stool and sat down. Looking at the key board my mind went blank. Since I didn't practice much I really didn't know the song I was to play all the way through. For some reason I knew the first part pretty good but not the last part I didn't know at all, so I did what any American boy would do. I kept playing the first part of the song over and over. When I felt it was time to stop I did and got up and bowed, because that is what Ms. what's her name told me to do.

It was over for another year and I was very relieved. Yes, my mother had me continue taking lessons and old what is her name kept coming to our house for my weekly lesson. Of all the things I have done in life, piano lessons were the most pressure I have ever experienced.

I could give other horror stories, but they would be too painful for me. Just say don't procrastinate all the pain I put myself through would have been relieved with just a little practice. You know what they say Practice makes perfect

Staying on top of things



One wonders why some people keep moving ahead, one reason is they say on top of things. They don’t let things keep piling up they have the discipline to get things done when they need to done.

I am not saying you have that problem of letting things get piled up, but it is easy to do. Once you get behind it gets harder to get caught up, so stay on top of things and you life will be less stressful.

Besides being less stressful you will find that you actually get more things done. he reason is you setting priorities and by doing that you find some of the things that you might have been dreading to do, become not as dreadful as you thought. And by getting the things done you were dreading you have more time to tackle other projects.
When we put things off we actually are burning more energy worrying about getting it done than if we actually do putting it off. That might be an encouragement to all of us to attack the things that need to be done first and take the pressure off our self.

Stay on top of things has another benefit. It lets others know that you are dependable person. That also lets them know that they can count on you.

The word get around that you stay on top of things, which means you get things done and done on time.

With this type of reputation you will be known as a winner. People like to be around winners and if you check, you will find they are winners.

You can lose when you’re a winner and those that are around you are winners. This combination helps all reach their goals.

Stay on top of things, be winners.

Happiness with health and wealth to you
