Masterminding in Hawaii
Granted this is a long way to travel to mastermind with the experts in personal development home business; the buzz is worth it and the thought energy is working overtime. No doubt there are those out there who have never met the concept of the mastermind. I take great pleasure in introducing you, in the words of the grandfather of personal development Napoleon Hill, author of “Think and Grow Rich”. And just in case you have decided right now that this is all about money I ask you to think more laterally. Richness, wealth, prosperity mean much much more. Being rich includes in love, friendship, faith and relationships, at least, as well as financially. And why not have it all?
Hill says that the mastermind is “coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people for the attainment of a definite purpose”. So here in Hawaii, I am surrounded by people who are generous in their advice, counsel and personal cooperation so that every one of us has the very best opportunity to prosper in all ways. I always have this opportunity, however here it is laid on in exceptional amounts. Imagine if you will, at any moment being able to talk with like minded people and have access to the magic of collective wisdom – a mastermind. All of those very positive, lateral thinking people giving me assistance, sharing their mind power. Now seriously, that is some personal development program. And it is right here, in Hawaii, supporting me in my personal development home business.
And you can have it too!! Prosper your mind. Oh and Hawaii and all of the fun of the holiday and travel is ok too. Shoe shopping, dining out at a fabulous Chinese Restaurant, lounging by the pool – ahh it is hard to take!!
Have Fun in Hawaii
I am having fun getting ready for our trip to Hawaii where we will mix with millionaires, eat with entrepreneurs, circulate with six figure chicks, conference with crack marketers and just generally have lots of fun. I can imagine lazy breakfasts by the sea, dreamy dinners under the stars and just generally lots of fun. There is no doubt that there will be long conversations over various yummy concoctions at gorgeous bars, sightseeing with similar successful people and just generally lots of fun. You get the picture!!
And guess what – this is personal development. Yep, the man of my dreams and I are off to one of the best ever personal development conferences and it will be fun, fun, fun because that is what life is about.
Especially when you have the best ever home business in personal development. So come on, what are you waiting for. Oh and keep watch here while I update you all from Hawaii.
One Second
Spare a thought for those who lose their loved ones as a result of road accidents. I live in Cairns, far north Queensland and we see too many families left in despair as a result of the tragic loss of life on the road. I, like many others wonder what can be done to change this. Take a look at the following message and then visit the website to see what one person is doing. There you can also read the story of one woman, whose life changed in just one second. Think about this – all it takes is just one second.
Just One Second of thought could save a life.
You may never know who’s life you save,
But you will know you haven’t taken one.
Safe drivers are life savers.
Join the thought wave…
One Second for Blogging
One Second for life.
Sunday Morning Special
Sunday morning is a special time for me – I read the Sunday Mail. This is made more special to me because I do not read, listen to or watch the news because I simply refuse to load up my life with the negativity that is the news. Instead I research things that I am interested in, read books that cause me to question, enjoy time with my family and the gorgeous Miss Elly (our dog) and watch the occasional TV eg Random Acts of Kindness. So Sunday is a day that I celebrate with a paper and what do I read? body+soul, Escape and the cartoons. The cartoons of course give me a laugh, body+soul offers good websites to increase my interest in new and exciting things and I can feed my dreams to travel.
This Sunday morning, body+soul had a great article to makeover your health. And I especially liked point number one “Are you having a good laugh?” Apparently a really good laugh relieves stress and relaxes your muscles. There you go, I knew that Sunday morning was special. That is when I get my laughter fix from the crazy cartoons. The article says that even anticipating a laugh can boost feel good hormones – so basically the whole week is good for me while I anticipate my Sunday morning fest. Recommended action; go to a comedy club, rent a funny movie or get together with friends who make you laugh.
Incidentally point four is to socialise more, so socialising with funny people has you two steps on your way to a big impact on your health. So from now on I might have to declare Sunday morning as sacred, for laughter only. Happiness and pleasure is everything in life.
Happiness and Fun – A Gem Digging Expedition
According to numerous readings that I have done, life is about happiness and fun and I recently found both of those on a camping trip to the topaz fields west of Cairns. These gem fields are located at O’Briens Creek and are part of the Gulf Savannah country in Queensland. My husband Owen, is a gem digger from way back and it is a while since we have enjoyed this particular pursuit. Our three daughters were raised on trips to the gem fields and the bush camping that went with it and we have many lovely occasions with them now reminiscing about those interesting and happy times. Bush camping introduced our girls to the concepts of self sufficiency and reliance which are both key to developing self awareness and ultimately a desire to participate in personal development.
We had forgotten the joy and anticipation that goes with preparing for the trip, the journey, getting there, setting up camp and going off to find the gems. It is all such fun and exciting and it is refreshing to just let go of urban life and enjoy all that the bush has to offer. The weather was amazing and the birds constantly entertained us, the creek and rapids produced a soothing background. Best of all though was the soporific effect that sitting watching the campfire in the evenings gave us. Conversation flowed gently and after a hard day of gem digging, camping and enjoying ourselves, bedtime came around naturally and sleep was invited in easily.
Ah, gem digging and bush camping, a truly joyous and delightful experience. One that opened up an opportunity to just be, free from thought and commitments. Personal development – you betcha!
