Success Philosophies and Principles...Part II

Hi there! It took me almost a year to complete this two-part series. Major major things happened to me. I am just so happy I am now posting this second half of Jim Rohn's Success Philosophies and Principles.


Success Philosophies and Principles...Part II

"The LAW of SOWING AND REAPING"

There's a story from the Bible - The parable of the Sower. In the story there is a sower, he was an ambitious sower and he has excellent seed (an excellent idea, an excellent opportunity).

While he was sowing, some of the seeds fell on the way side and there birds get it. Note: the birds are going to get some of the seeds. You can either chase the bird, but you would leave the field...or just comment...ISN'T THAT INTERESTING! ITS JUST THE WAY IT IS! The sower KEPT ON SOWING! If you keep sowing, you can sow more seeds than the birds can get because there are not enough birds. The LAW OF AVERAGES will work for you.

Some of the seeds fell on rocky ground where the soil is shallow (and not of your making) - seeds start to grow, the first hot day, it withered... the hot weather is going to get some. This is not of your making. Just keep on sowing! SOME DON'T STAY... Learn how to Discipline your Disappointment.

Some of the seeds fell on thorny ground - the thorns are going to get some. People who let little things cheat them out of big opportunities.

Some of the seeds fell on good ground (IT ALWAYS WILL)- some did 30%, 50%, 100%. Let the 30s do 30s, 50s do 50s…

Philosophies that I CAN DO IT
1. Getting a customer - Making a sale - sharing

2. Recruiting - Sponsoring
Find a way to serve the many … service to many leads to greatness
If you help enough people to get what they want, you can have what you want

3. Organizing - People to work together. Everything magic is challenging
Best challenge: LETS GO DO IT
Shared Testimonial is powerful

4. Promotion - major / small recognition
Rewarding People for making small steps

5. Communication - conduct a meeting - I DID IT AGAIN
How to affect other people with words - DON’T BE LAZY IN LANGUAGE
TRAIN - how the business works
TEACH - how life works (leadership, set goals, ability to inspire)

6. Build an organization
Respond to those who deserve it not to those who need it
Teach people how to deserve your time/attention
You can help a thousand but you cannot carry 3 on your back
You cannot change people but they can change themselves

CAPITAL in your business isn't what matters… It's your SKILLS that buy you a future

BUY and SELL --- or --- SELL and BUY

The greatest value in life is LIVING A GOOD LIFE

1. Productivity - if you don’t produce you won't be happy

2. Good friends - the greatest support in the world is good friends

3. Spirituality - study-practice-teach whatever is valuable to you

4. Don't miss anything - If you live well, you will earn well

5. Inner Circle - take care of them, they'll take care of you

6. Ask for God's help

7. We have a chance as human beings to participate in the miracle process - Changing somebody's lifejavascript:void(0)

I love Jim Rohn's message: "I wish for you a life of wealth, health and happiness; a life in which you give to yourself the gift of patience, the virtue of reason and the value of knowledge." He will surely be missed....

Matty's First Video

I can't help but share my boy's first video! Sorry guys. hehehe

He's so likot!

Insulin

I have finally given in. I don't understand why even if I eat the same foods in the same amounts, my sugar keeps on fluctuating. I guess it's really time to take a little dose of insulin for my baby.

Insulin: A natural hormone made by the pancreas that controls the level of the sugar glucose in the blood. Insulin permits cells to use glucose for energy. Cells cannot utilize glucose without insulin.

Diabetes: The failure to make insulin or to respond to it constitutes diabetes mellitus. Insulin is made specifically by the beta cells in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. If the beta cells degenerate so the body cannot make enough insulin on its own, type I diabetes results. A person with this type of diabetes must inject exogenous insulin (insulin from sources outside the body).

Yesterday, I have started monitoring my sugar every meal using my own glucometer. hehe. And this morning I have stated using ballpen type insulin. I think I messed with my first shot. hehe. It's ok, my sugar level is still within limits. hehe

Diabetes Diet

One of the challenges I face right now is to follow a low-fat, low-salt diet to control my Gestational Diabetes. Plus the high-protein, high-fiber diet I need for my baby... sooooo easy! hehehe

Anyway, I need to constantly check on food I take versus "restricted food list" from my Endocrinologist. :)

I found below info very useful. Might as well share this so others may benefit as well...

Glucose Control - Diabetic Diet

If you've been diagnosed with diabetes, your doctor has probably mentioned that you should pay careful attention to nutrition and diet as part of your treatment program. Nutrition experts say that there is no one diet for diabetes, but people with diabetes should follow the nutrition guidelines in the Food Pyramid, while paying special attention to carbohydrate intake. People with diabetes should also eat about the same amount of food at the same time each day to keep blood sugar levels stable.

Getting Started With Nutrition Treatment

If you've never attempted to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet before your diabetes diagnosis, it can be difficult to know where to get started. Try these tips from the American Dietetic Association:

* Eat more starches such as bread, cereal, and starchy vegetables. Aim for six servings a day or more. For example, have cold cereal with nonfat milk or a bagel with a teaspoon of jelly for breakfast. Another starch-adding strategy is to add cooked black beans, corn or garbanzo beans to salads or casseroles.

* Eat five fruits and vegetables every day. Have a piece of fruit or two as a snack, or add vegetables to chili, stir-fried dishes or stews. You can also pack raw vegetables for lunch or snacks.

* Eat sugars and sweets in moderation. Include your favorite sweets in your diet once or twice a week at most. Split a dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth while reducing the sugar, fat and calories.

But don't misinterpret me, I love this baby so much. Precious gift from God!

Gestational Diabetes

I am one of those pregnant women who acquired Gestational Diabetes. I have been reading a lot because I am very concerned on its effect on me and on the baby. I found this helpful information and wish to share with you.

It's not enough to get pregnant, it's critical to have healthy pregnancy and safe delivery...


What is gestational diabetes?

Gestational diabetes is diabetes that is found for the first time when a woman is pregnant.
Gestational (jes-TAY-shun-ul) diabetes is diabetes that is found for the first time when a woman is pregnant. Out of every 100 pregnant women in the United States, three to eight get gestational diabetes. Diabetes means that your blood glucose (also called blood sugar) is too high. Your body uses glucose for energy. But too much glucose in your blood can be harmful. When you are pregnant, too much glucose is not good for your baby.
This booklet is for women with gestational diabetes. If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and are considering pregnancy, call the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse at 1–800–860–8747 for more information and consult your health care team before you get pregnant.
