Point to Ponder
Commitment
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance
to draw back.
Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there
is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills
countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment
one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves
too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never
otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising
in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and
meetings and material assistance, which no man could
have dreamt would have come his way."
W.H. Murray - from "The Scottish Himalayan Expedition"
What
are you committed to doing, changing, fine tuning, eliminating,
or adding to your life this year?
The
tides come in and washes away all that was built on
sand, but what was built on a solid foundation endures.
Time and tide can also
wash away the disappointments and tears over the losses and the mistakes
over the past 12 months. Learn from the lessons and use them to
powerful purpose in this new year. You have before you twelve brand new,
never been used months to create the life, the business, the career,
the relationships you've only dreamt of. Resolve to do them; make a
commitment to yourself and live with wild adventure to amaze those who
watch you grow.

''A
poor man celebrates the New Year once a year. A rich
man celebrates each day. But the richest man celebrates
every moment.'' - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
My friend Ravi Tangri shared this and it makes so much sense, just had to share it with you as you move into 2012.
Whether you made
resolutions or not, whether you even stayed up late enough to watch the
new year begin, you can start enjoying your riches today.
The riches in your life
are so much more than just things and money - I consider myself rich in
friends and extended family. I have been blessed with so many
outstanding people in my life, like you, that I consider each day a
wonder.
I have
been blessed with talents and skills that I consider
each day an opportunity to create something of value;
of interest to share with my friends, clients, and colleagues.
May each
moment of 2012 be one which enriches your lives and
one in which you enrich those around you. Enjoy
the journey.
Last Minute News
2012
is going to be a jam packed year.... working
with new clients, launching new programs as well as
exploring new ideas to promote and share our ideas.
I am
now officially in my role as President for the CAPS
Edmonton Chapter. This will be an interesting
year and one of new learning curves I am sure. We
have a good team and that will make all the difference.
Working on a rewrite
of Speaking for Success with a
publication date close to the end of February.Trying
something new with a Print on Demand company in
the US. If it works as well as it looks, we will
be doing several other print publications this year.
We'll be looking at some of the other workbook formated
publications with an eye to re-doing them as a 5
x7 print book format. We will continue converting
some of them to EPUB (reader format) like the 3
we have out already.Check them out on Barnes &
Noble, Kobo, itunes, Disel, or Smashwords. Still
waiting for them to be added to Amazon.
Am also working on creating
a motivational publication drawing from the 7 years
worth of Points to Ponder... might even be enough
to do more than one.
Also
going to do at least one more Pocket Wisdom
book before we head to Australia in March.
Want to have a 6 pack to share when I am speaking
on product development for the CAPS Ottawa chapter
in May.
 Irene
and I will be heading to Australia toward the end
of March for her daughter's beach wedding on April
4th. We'll stick around for a few days and then play
tourist around Australia and Hong Kong (for a few
days) on the way home for May.
Pictured
here in Paris for Irene's birthday a few years ago...
but it was a great memory for both of us.
