Dorothy Hamill

Dorothy Hamill was one of the greatest professional ice skaters of all time. In 1976, she took first place in the Winter Olympics, U.S. Championships, and World Championships.

Dorothy Hamill seemed to be physically designed to skate, much like a fish is physically designed to swim. During her performances, her movements seemed to flow naturally with incredible precision and coordination.

In her earlier years, Dorothy Hamill didn't always ice skate well. In fact, it took her years and years of practice before she reached her ultimate level of expertise.

Dorothy started ice skating at the age of eight and never stopped. She loved it so much; it was almost like an addiction. She later went on to get formal training to further enhance her skills.

But Dorothy's sheer love of ice skating wasn't enough to catapult her to the top. She needed to be able to handle adversity and move through it.

During the 1974 World Championships held in Germany, Dorothy almost blew it. She abruptly left the ice rink without completing her performance due to a raucous audience. But then later returned, completed her performance, winning her the silver medal.

How you handle adversity decides whether you succeed or fail. If you let adversity discourage you, you will never succeed; since the road to success is always fraught with adversity. Nevertheless, if you let adversity encourage you, you will always succeed. "But how do I let adversity encourage me," you ask.

How adversity affects you depends on how you use your head. You can use your head to think, "I'll never be able to complete my ice-skating performance. The audience is booing, and I can't stand it." This will cause you to quit.

Or you can use your head to think, "So the audience is booing. Big deal. I'll give them something to boo about. I'm going to skate so well that it will overwhelm them. That'll show them." This will cause you to excel.

Joe Kennedy Dies Suddenly at Age 28

Joe Kennedy, a professional baseball pitcher, had recently and suddenly died at the age of 28. This came as a shock to everyone, especially to those who knew him well. He had pitched for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Colorado Rockies, Oakland A's, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Toronto Blue Jays.

Presently, the cause of Joe Kennedy's death is undetermined. So far, all we know is that he got out of bed in the middle of the night, collapsed, then died.

Was his death due to a heart attack, or perhaps a stroke? If so, was he genetically predisposed to have a heart attack or stroke, or was this drug induced? Perhaps he died of something entirely different.

Enough of speculating.

The fact is Joe Kennedy was a talented and famous baseball pitcher whose life was tragically cut short, leaving behind a wife and 1-year-old son. Though Joe Kennedy had fame and fortune, he ran out of the most precious commodity - time.

How much time do you have left? Nobody really knows. Maybe you are using your time wisely, maybe not. But all of us want more time. More time to do the things that we enjoy. More time to achieve our goals. More time to spend with loved ones.

As you know, you can lengthen your time on this planet by eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, drinking more water, exercising regularly, reducing stress, and avoiding tobacco and other dangerous drugs.

There are other important things that you can do. To find out more about living longer, go to

The Flying Spaghetti Monster

Bobby Henderson, an Oregon State physics graduate, began a parody religion whose deity is the Flying Spaghetti Monster. This was in response to the debate in Kansas over whether intelligent design should be taught in public school science classes. Apparently, Henderson wanted to satirically demonstrate the ludicrousness of including intelligent design or religion in science classes.

According to Bobby Henderson, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is an omniscient deity made of pasta. Also, The Flying Spaghetti Monster created everything that exists. Most religions have this theme with the exception of a deity being made of pasta.

You cannot prove that the Flying Spaghetti Monster exists. Nor can you prove that any other deity exists. Given this, is religion irrational?

Though I agree with Bobby Henderson's view that religion or intelligent design shouldn't be included in science classes, I don't think that religion is necessarily irrational. However, if a religion promotes disharmony, hatred, violence, or the murdering of other people, then it is irrational. It is irrational because it brings unnecessary pain to others; it is irrational because it brings unnecessary pain to the followers of that religion.

Cause and effect. If you bring pain to others, they will bring pain to you.

Religion can be rational if it promotes harmony and well-being. For example, Christians are encouraged to follow the Golden Rule. The Golden Rule states, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Parallels of this rule exist in the Talmud and Analects of Confucius.

This rule alone can eliminate most of the disharmony you see in the world today. Can you imagine how harmonious the world would be if everyone followed the Golden Rule?

Finally, religion can promote well-being. To see how religion or spirituality can promote your well-being, get the highly acclaimed book

Natavia Lowery Did Not Have to Murder Linda Stein

Most of us heard the shocking news of Linda Stein's murder. Even more shocking was that her personal assistant, Natavia Lowery, did the murdering. Linda Stein was a very successful woman. She was the manager of a very popular rock group The Ramones, and was a successful real estate agent serving celebrities such as Sting, Billy Joel, Steven Spielberg, Calvin
Klein and Bruce Willis.

Why did Natavia Lowery murder Linda Stein? Apparently, it was over a heated argument; and things got out of control. They had many arguments in the past, but this argument was the last straw.

Perhaps Linda Stein was a very demanding and short-tempered employer. But even so, Natavia Lowery had no right to murder her. Natavia could have walked away; then once she calmed down, she could have attempted to calmly resolve her disagreement with Linda. If this was not possible, Natavia could have quit her job as Linda's personal assistant.

Disagreements are inevitable. Everyone will eventually get into a disagreement with someone. After all, each one of us thinks differently from one another.

A disagreement can be positive, in that it can help you to understand and appreciate the other person's viewpoint, strengthening your friendship. Or a disagreement can be negative, in that, blinded by your own viewpoint, you refuse to understand and appreciate the other person's viewpoint, angering you, and possibly leading you to attack or murder the other
person.

When you find yourself in a disagreement with someone and notice that it's becoming heated, the following tips can help:

(1) Stop talking and start listening. Allow the other person to vent. He will eventually calm down.

(2) Change your body language and voice tone. Instead of tensely standing, sit down relaxedly slouching in a chair. Instead of yelling, speak softly and calmly. Your body language and voice tone will calm the other person down.

(3) If you find yourself becoming heated and can't calm yourself, leave the situation immediately! And don't come back until you are calm and in control.

Energy, Motion, & E-Motion

Spectral colors include red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Red has the lowest frequency; violet has the highest frequency. Common emotions include fear, anger, sadness, shame, desire, and happiness. Fear and anger have the most negative frequencies; happiness has the most positive frequency.

Spectral colors are energy; common emotions are energy. Energy affects things. Without energy, nothing changes. Energy causes motion.

Energy-motion, e-motion, or emotion causes behavioral motion. Without emotion, behavioral motion slows or ceases. Negative emotions cause negative behaviors; positive emotions cause positive behaviors. For example, fear causes fleeing and freezing; happiness causes rising and pursuing.

Behavioral motion causes environmental motion. Without behavior, environmental motion slows or ceases. Negative behaviors cause negative environments; positive behaviors cause positive environments. For example, fleeing and freezing cause goal frustration; rising and pursuing cause goal fulfillment.

Hence, feeling good leads to having good -- having good health, finances, and relationships. And feeling bad leads to having bad -- having bad health, finances, and relationships.

This makes sense. Look around. Notice that the happiest people are the most blessed, and the unhappiest people are the most cursed?

Attraction

According to physics, every atom contains negatively and positively charged particles. Oppositely charged, these particles attract each other. Likewise, life contains negatively and positively charged events. Oppositely charged, these events attract each other.

Failure is a negatively charged event. Failure consists of attempting to complete an important task, but never completing it. This causes negative thinking, causing frustration, anger, and depression. The longer failure continues, the more you want to quit.

However, if you don't quit, your situation becomes more and more negatively charged until it reaches the tipping point. The tipping point is the attraction of your situation's opposite -- positively charged success.

So in order to attract positively charged success, you must build up enough negatively charged failure.

Location, Location, Location

Select the right location.
-- P. T. Barnum

Location is powerful. It makes or breaks businesses and people. If you want to start a successful business, it must be located where the customers are. Otherwise, the business fails. If you want to become a successful person, you must locate yourself where successful people are. Otherwise, you fail.

Location determines the fate of businesses and people. Businesses located in less competitive and more populated areas tend to do better than those in more competitive and less populated areas. People located in wealthy and lawful neighborhoods tend to do better than those in poor and lawless neighborhoods.

Location sets life direction. The type of location sets the type of life direction. If you want to know your life direction, look at your location. This tells you where you are going. Do you like where you are going?

Liking it or not, you are still in control. You can change your location, changing your life direction. Just decide where you would like to be, and behaviorally relocate there.

Not enough money, time, and energy to relocate presently? There is another way. Envision yourself being in your desired location. Hold this vision until you are there. You will be there.

Being there, you now realize that vision, behavior, and location are really one and the same -- that changing any one of the three automatically changes the others.

To relocate, you must re-think or re-behave. Sometimes it's easier to re-think; sometimes re-behaving is easier. It depends on your circumstance.
