Why am I up at 3 am? I never get up in the middle of the night! Then I remembered listening to Wayne Dyer a few years ago who said when you wake up like this it's for a reason. I struggled to find something on TV that would help me fall back to sleep because I need to work at the annual CVS Charity Golf Classic later today and need to be rested. Scan the channels...old TV classics, cable news...informercials...no, no, no...wait...
Tony Robbins...the person who started my journey back in the mid '90's with his first Personal Power II tapes. The man who answered when I wrote 10 letters to his company saying his work was powerful and that we needed to bring it to teens. The man whose company invited me to attend his first youth leadership workshop back in 2000, the one that inspired me to create my award winning Strategies program. The man who really inspired me to seek out what truly makes people successful. Ah...and here he is at what is now 4 am...
You see, I've been struggling lately with my life. Many good things have been coming my way and I'm grateful but I have been miffed at why I can't seem to cross that last big divide, the one that separates the reasonably successful from the truly successful. It's why I read Jean Chatzky's The Difference and ended up on her radio show and Oprah.com. It's why I started with Tony all those years ago.
And now I need to find that answer...in myself but with Tony's guidance one more time....before I turn my program into weekend seminars for teens and adapt it for college freshmen..to guide my nephew who needs the help to move in the direction he can't quite figure out yet...to give me the boost I need to bridge that gap...one more time...to be the person I was truly meant to be...
That's why I'm up...that's what I needed to figure out...and the funny thing is that I found his Get the Edge CD's the other day as I was cleaning out my den...when you truly know what want...the universe, God, Buddha, Allah...is waiting to bring you what you asked for...
My message to you? Be open to the proven resources out there...the people whose life work has been to guide and teach us...we can all learn from each other if we don't block the pathways to learning and growing...
How can I help you?

Another excellent program is "Personal Mastery" and "Leadership Training" by Brian Klemmer & Associates.
Wayne Dyer's book "Excuses Begone"
Great stuff.
