Today I was playing around with an online slideshow creator.  It’s at www.slideroll.com

It’s just a collection of cat pictures and quotes.  Hope you enjoy it.

Today I got a compliment e-card from a card company called Rubber Chicken. They have a free program that sends you a card every week. Each week you get a card with some positive message from them. They of course try to get you to add your friends to their list and buy more of their services. That is little payment for this very neat gift. The cards are little animated cartoons with stories that end up giving you the message of the card. Their compliment series always ends with saying something positive about you. Honestly, the cards are great. The characters are fun and the dialog is cute. They really do brighten your day when you get them. I recommend them to everyone. It’s an email that you will enjoy opening.

I got one today and it got me thinking about compliments. Are we encouraging others enough? Being focused on one’s individual quest can be very narcissistic. Yes, we are working hard to make our lives better, but we are not the only one. We live in a society of very diverse people. Some are working to better their lives and some are just trying to stay where they are now. They are all striving for something and in most cases being unrecognized for their efforts. But that doesn’t have to be case. You can make a difference very easily. When you see someone doing something well, say something to that person. Many jobs in this world are thankless boring trials. Make a difference today by adding to the positive energy in the world. Compliment someone.

Facing Challenges to Your Quest.

A very important belief to maintain is ‘That every experience is pushing me toward my total success.’. I always work to keep that in mind. However sometimes it is harder to keep that belief than others. Today is one of those days for me. I’m starting to realize that my savings may not be up to the needs of my prolonged job search. I did not expect that. I have never been without a job for a long period before. Usually my skills and my luck would work for me and I would eventually find something. In any case, I always assumed that even if I couldn’t find a job, I could always create one. Well, it’s been two years and I haven’t been able to either match my old salary or obtain a livable salary. The problems of creating a job are a lot harder when you don’t have an income to help keep the lights on. Pretty much sucks.

So, what’s the moral here. Your quest is not always going to be easy. There will be challenges along the way. Some will be bigger than others. You will overcome them if you keep going. The path may not be linear however. Some days we have to backtrack a little. Sometimes life lessons need to be learned before you can move forward. I still believe in my total success regardless of the dark days. My quest is still valid even if the road is bumpy.

Many people want to hear that they won’t have any problems finding their dreams. That’s true for some people. For many more that is not the case. Joe Vitale spent some time being homeless. Stephen Pierce had a time when he slept in a friend’s office. They overcame those times and found their quest.

The current financial downturn could make this year a tough one for a lot of people. I want to tell you that you don’t have to give up your dreams when it’s tough. Sometimes the universe thinks we need a little temper to our steel. I know I’ll overcome this and still find my quest. You will too.

I had computer problems this week.  My Windows has gone belly up and I’ve had to reinstall a lot of applications and recall several backups.  It has caused a minor delay in the creation of chapter 4.  I have the computer working again and will have the next chapter out by Friday.

In the meantime I put together a motivational poster for you.  It is in the store under the other tools category.  It is a free bonus to my readers and you are welcome to give it to friends who would enjoy it.

When I saw this quote I realized that it would be a great poster with the right picture.  I searched and found this picture that really went with it.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together.

Today I added the third chapter of the ‘Mastering Your Quest - Limiting Beliefs’ e-book to the e-junky file.  This is the continuation of chapter two - Identifying Your Limiting Beliefs.  In this chapter we take the beliefs that we discovered in chapter two and work through a method to remove the emotional barriers that keep them part of your limitations.  I introduce an energy psychology method to remove emotional barriers.  You will use that method frequently in the upcoming chapters.  These exercises should give you a good tool to attack the emotional issues in your past.  This upcoming Friday I will be releasing the fourth chapter outlining how to fill the vacuum left by removing these beliefs with more empowering ones.

Just like chapter two I am releasing this chapter at only a dollar.  This is an important tool for getting your quest on track and I wanted everyone to be able to afford it.
