We all have energy, you can read articles all day on how our bodies are made of energy, the question is ~ how are you using your energy?  Is it set on positive or negative?

It’s important to consider your energy, are you using it to grow a business, a new idea, or maybe to discourage growth, or happiness.  I know most people reading this would say of course I use positive energy, why would I not?  You may not realize which one you are using and how it maybe affecting your business.

Marketing is key today, how you project a story, internalize it, and also promote it. Think about the following, when you are at a social networking event, and you are asked how business is going, what is your response?  Is it a positive one, ” business is great, we are looking to continue moving forward”, or do you chime in with so many out and say, ” well right now business is really down, and we hope to make it through”.  You become what you think about, if you have a less than positive attitude, that’s what your business will have, less work, less clients, less motivation, less of everything.

Be sure when you are putting a plan together whether it is for a day or for a project, that you fill it with positive thoughts. We’ve all heard it and it’s true, negativity feeds negativity.  Well……..it also works the other way, Positivity feeds Positivity!!  Go with it, grow with it, make it happen!

Don’t listen to the media, as they can be your enemy, it all depends on which side of the bed they may have gotten up on.  Take the bank failings, if this had been covered with a more neutral approach, then less banks, local authorities, businesses and home owners would have suffered. Fewer jobs would have been lost as less panic and knee jerk reactions would have occured.  All of which were perfectly acceptable the day before.

Just as we see it in the media, and how it affects reactions, so do your energy, “attitude”, positive and or negative can affect your business. If your company, business, or position needs a shot in the arm it starts with you, and what you bring forward.  I believe that what we listen to throughout our day is important, I get so much from audio cd’s, as I can have them playing in the background throughout my work day.  Earl Nightengale said it best, “we become what we think about”. If you have not listened to his audio, ” Lead The Field” get it, and listen to it over and over again.  Itunes, have a large library of free audio messages that you can download and play often. Your positive energy will build, and when you build this,…………you will build your business!

I was just looking through some emails, which led me to some forums, which led me to a profile of a guy in an online group I belon, and saw this link http://www.happylifesuggestions.com I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Today is a day for me to really take a deep breath and know that it is true, your life can change in an instant!( mentioned on that link) One year ago today I said good-bye to one of my best friends……………my mom. As I kissed her good-bye with her last breath I knew my life would be different. It’s hard to believe that a whole year has gone by, I feel like I just saw her last week, and she is on one of her many vacations she took.

Life does change, and we all have to learn to change with it. People that are in my life know that one month after my mom left to go “dancing with God” ( as she loves to dance ) one of my sister’s was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer. We didn’t have time, weren’t given, didn’t take the time to grieve my mom’s passing, and now thrown back into survival mode as a family. It has been tough, and it seems we may lose my sister to that terrible cancer. I guess why I’m writing today is to say, that although I’ve lost a best friend, and now living through a health crisis again so soon, that I am blessed. I can always look around and see others that don’t have what I have. I may not have all the material things I want, and notice I said “want”, but I have a great family that is close, loving, and I great friends in my life. Some may ask how do you do it, how do you keep going, well to me, there isn’t a choice. You have to keep going, keep living, keep loving.

When I was driving back from seeing my mom one time I was listening to Earl Nightengales’ cd and heard, that you have to learn to lean into diversity, and not try to fight it. If you lean into it, it will be easier, and you will learn to make the changes necessary to go forward, but if you don’t, you will not be all you can, and want to be in life.

Yesterday we welcomed in a new baby girl Brooklyn Rose to our family. Some like me were hoping she might have waited until today to come, but guess today is mom’s day! I love you mom, and still hear your voice letting me know when I need to do something, or hear your words of praise. Your presence is so strong sometimes I feel that I could reach out and touch you. Thank you for all you gave me while you were here, and all that you continue to give while you are dancing with God.

If you ever want to see or experience a company that has some of the most positive to people working for them, go to Cancer Treatment Centers of America! I’ve had this experience first hand, and when I have talked with people about this place that have seen the commercials, I always say… to be there and experience it is 100 times better!

No I don’t get paid by them, I’m not directly associated with them, but hey if they ever want me to go on a speaking tour for them, sign me up! Last June 2008, my sister was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer, so we headed there fast! We had seen the commercials just like everyone else, so thought, why not check it out. My first impression……WOW! What a place what an atmosphere, what great people!! From the first phone call until now I am continually impressed with CTCA. They just have such a great attitude about life, and living that even if as my sister says, even if you don’t survive, they say it with heart. I had taken my sister to a specialist at KU Med Center and although she was on the money in her diagnosis, she delivered it in such a cold manner, that you just sat there thinking…………how cold and disconnected this person is from empathy for another human being.

After being at CTCA with my sister now since last July I still ask………if they can do such a great job here, why aren’t they doing it everywhere? Sometimes just the attitude would make a difference in a patients life, from the hospitals to the caretakers. I once told a nursing supervisor from a hospital in Topeka that my sister was stuck in ( and I do mean stuck ) over a weekend at home, that after going to Tulsa to see what it was all about, that if all she brought back was attitude, then she would win!

So I will step off my soapbox now and just say a deep true from the bottom of heart thank you to CTCA! Your concierge Norma is your biggest asset! What an amazing woman to allows have a smile on her face and a warm hug! Keep up the great work all of you do!

I am so upset today about what happened last night on Celebrity Apprentice!  I truly have enjoyed the show over the years, more when they don’t have celebs on, and have real true to life people.  However right now they have celebs on there, they are on teams and have team projects to do, and whichever team wins that team’s “project manager” wins money towards their charity.  Last night was the last night I will be watching, and I will miss it, but not the attitude that Mr. Trump uses, and abused last night!

First let me say that I do not condone drunk driving!!!  Not at all, I’ve been hit head on by a drunk driver, I’ve lost a sister in a car accident due to drinking and driving, and so I want to say that upfront.

Last night the task was to make a viral video for ALL detergent, with project managers Clint Black, and Melissa Rivers leading the teams.  Both teams made truly bad videos, distasteful in some way or another, Clint’s worse than the other teams.  He was so condescending to his team members, didn’t let them have any input what so ever on the project, and went as far as to lock them out of the editing room to get the final piece ready for presentation.  He presented a disgusting video that had infidelity, and masturbation when talking about ALL laundry detergent!  What that has to do with the product no one got.  Melissa’s was not bad until the very end with some foul language.

But what has me and everyone I’ve talked to boiling mad is how Donald Trump/ Mr. no morals himself, humiliated Khloe Kardashian. She was on Clint Black’s team, and  wasn’t allowed to do anything, so she actually had nothing to do with her team losing, it was all Clint Black, and he even said that he would take full responsibility.  When a team loses the project manager brings back to the board room 2 team members that are accountable for the loss the team had.  Well honestly it was all Clint, but he had to bring back 2 people, so he didn’t bring back Joan Rivers with whom he had words with, no he brings back 2 others that didn’t say much at all.  ~  Ok stay with me here……….  As Donald was talking to the members brought back into the boardroom about what they felt about the video, and did they speak up to the project manager about their concerns etc. etc.  All of a sudden Donald asks Khloe…………why weren’t you here last week, tell us.    Ok this has nothing to do with them losing this project!!!……..she says that she was not able to be there as she had to be back home to par take in classes due to a DUI she received recently.     Nothing to do with the project that night.      Donald goes off on her with his holier than thou attitude saying how much he hates people that drink and drive, and he has friends that have lost family members to drunk drivers, and for that he fired off his famous…..  Khloe You’re Fired!!     What, are you kidding me, what has her going to classes for a DUI back home have anything to do with the project on that show???  What did it have to do with Clint Black wanting to talk about infidelity, and masturbation????  Could someone tell me?    NOTHING, absolutely nothing!!!!     He just said because you had a DUI, you’re fired.

I guess Donald is ok with Dennis Rodman’s drinking problems that he showed very openly on the show many times yelling, cursing degrading the other team players, and oh yes don’t forget the second place winner on the last season Celebrity Apprentice. Trace Adkins,  let’s not forget his speeding tickets, spousal abuse, and DUI, but guess that’s ok since he obviously is a member of the “good ole boys” club.  Guess if you beat up your spouse, and treat people like trash, and are drunk on the show, and are a man and you get a DUI……………you are good to go!!!

I am so upset about how he treated Khloe, and his holier than thou attitude he continues to have, that at this time I would like to say………….Donlad ~ YOU’RE FIRED!    I’ve vowed not to watch the show, and to tell everyone what you’ve done, and how you have treated Khloe.  You need to apologize to her, and then while you’re at it, since you seem to think it’s fair to air others dirty laundry, why not at that time get the skeletons out of your closets.

Done!
