Wisdom Comes from the Strangest Places!

Have you ever been in an unremarkable place or situation and had a remarkable thing happen? This past weekend, I was in NJ for a conference. The day before the conference, it was pouring rain and not much to do in Fairview, NJ...so I decided to go get a massage.

I had never been to Massage Envy - a national chain for massage therapy - and was in their lobby waiting for my appointment. I decided to pick up their "Meet our Therapists" binder on the table where, I suppose to make you more comfortable about getting touched by a complete stranger, they had a profile on each therapist.

Besides their name, hometown, years in the business, and massage school graduated from...they had the favorite quote of each therapist. It was there, in this binder, in this lobby, in this chain, in this town that I came across this wisdom...

"If someone wants to be wise, let him observe;to be strong, let him work;to be happy, let him give;to be influential, let him serve and sacrifice."

It reminds me of a quote from the movie Evan Almighty..."when you ask God for patience, does he just give you patience or does he give you the circumstances that will allow you to cultivate patience?"

Whatever you're asking for, look again to see if it's available to you in a different way than what you might be expecting.

Je suis juste retourné de Montréal!

I just returned from Montreal where I was volunteering at the Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar. Montreal was where I first attended an MMI in 2005 and it was a life changing event for me. So I couldn't pass up on the opportunity to go back to where it all started and give my time and energy as a volunteer. And the truth is...I got so much back in return.

First of all, the positive energy of the volunteers is awesome. Think about it. These are all people who went to an MMI and had such an amazing experience that they wanted to come back and share it with others. Many of these volunteers are business owners. They took time away from their businesses and their lives to contribute to other people. In my opinion, this makes them a special group of people just in that respect.

Second, the participants of this seminar are amazing. They came in on Friday morning, unsure and hesitant about this whole Millionaire Mind thing. But they went along on a 3-day journey, participated fully and many of them - given the comments on their evaluation forms at the end - will never be the same.

If you want to check out this life-altering event, go to www.peakpotentials.com and under events go to Millionaire Mind Intensive. They have these seminars all over the US and Canada and now in Singapore! If you decide to sign up, please use my ambassador code: 293458.
