Are you stuck in a relationship where you are wondering when the other will change for the better? Then find time to watch this movie.
My current favourite is "Make A Difference Movie - The Teddy Stallard Story". This is one of the free movies created by Mary Robinson Reynolds. I have watched all her movies and have been touched, inspired and enlightened by them. I guess she is able to put emotions into each slide because as she puts it, "I'm real and I've been there too!"
And when you find that you are not able to make a difference on your own, try “masterminding,” with your buddy. Mary defines it as people getting together and believing for each other. The idea is to manifest differently by thinking differently. She said that you do not have to beg, argue or reason with anyone or anything—simply choose what you intend and let the law of attraction brings it to you.
Mary started her business by masterminding herself out of the problems she was facing. What difference do you want o make in your life? Make it your new year's resolution.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Nothing is good or bad.
Alfredo Santos was expelled from school at 10th grade for punching a teacher. He landed in San Quentin prison at age 24 for selling heroin. In order to qualify for parole, an inmate had to work, so he entered the dining hall contest that led him to paint a 12 feet tall and nearly 100 feet long mural. The prison is now a museum and many are captivated by the unexpected epic mural within its wall.
At age 81, Alfredo Santos' work is still sought after. Go to his gallery to see if you have any of his unique work of art as he paints and create sculpture out of wood or found objects. Anyone would think that life in prison would have been a very bad experience for him. But that was where he decided that he wanted to become an artist.
The next time you have a problem or a bad experience, may be the time you would like to reflect on what you can do to make your life better instead of wallowing in self pity.
Just think about it. Will you be what you are today if not for the experiences that you have been through?

Nothing is small till compared.
Have you ever had an idea that died because you shared it with the wrong person or maybe at the wrong time? Have you ever look at a business and think why didn't you think of starting it yourself in the first place?
No idea is too small to work on or too big for you to consider starting until you start making comparisons. Garett Croft Stenson was broke until he started selling wallets he crafted out of duct tapes as a hobby. Small home business venture you think? His work is sold in stalls and at art shows nationwide. With a loan from SBA and some helpers, he is now selling his product globally and on his website. Just take a look at the publicity he has received for his duct tape wallet business.
Looking at it now, you would think that it is too big a venture for someone who was broke to start on. Likely, when he was broke and feeling low, he have compared himself with someone worst off to make himself bigger to have such an aspiration.

Giving more than sun light in the dark.
Light at a touch of a button, is something unheard of at a refugee camp in Fugnido, western Ethiopia until Mark Bent came into the picture. Through his visits to volatile countries, rural villages and his research, he realized that many people have nothing to light their homes, schools and clinics at night. This led him to invest USD250,000 to develop and manufacture a solar powered flashlight that gives up to seven hours of light.
While we think of light only as a mean to enable us to see in the dark, for these refugees, the light provides security for the women against sexual abuse and violence and scares wild animals away. It helped to lead the way in the darkness during emergencies and frightened would be thief away. Most importantly, these refugees do not have to rely on wood, charcoal, candles and kerosene for lighting when they study. These traditional fuels when used for lighting in their small homes are health hazardous as many of their children suffer from upper respiratory problems.
While Mark Bent is able to donate his solar powered flashlight to UN refugee camps with the support of Exxon Mobil, you can do your part too by buying from his company SunNight Solar as he has a “Buy One, Give One” programme running on his website.
You pay USD25.00 for one flashlight and he will ship the second unit to Africa and donate USD1 to one of the aid groups he works with.
Mark held images of people living in darkness in his mind and attracted light in his business. Do you want to be as successful as Mark Bent? Think about what it is in this world that is bothering you and figure out how you can make it better. What would you like to attract in your life?

Success Open Secret? Your SOS option!
Have you noticed that success is an open secret? People who are successful in what they do tend to share their secrets to success.
I came to realise this after watching the movie "The Secret" by Ronda Byrne and decided to take up the SGR Program offered by Bob Proctor. After listening to the contents on the MP3 Player they supplied, I began to sense things differently.
If you are someone seeking "SOS" leads in your life or business, learn to discover success open secret of people who have made it. They may be people who have succeeded without realising that they have applied the right principles of attraction in their life. Let their experiences bring out the best in you and attract others to share their abundance with you.
I am working on sharing "Success Open Secret" based on what I have picked up from the SGR Program. Let them be your "SOS" leads in your search for your abundance.
