Do You Fear Your Own Success By Dan B. Cauthron

Noted author and self-worth teacher Eric Butterworth* says, "Poverty is a way of living and thinking, and not just a lack of money or things."

When one couples Butterworth's philosophy with the Eastern mysticism of "what one believes will become his reality" - it also becomes clear that obstacles to financial and personal success are largely self-created.

We once knew a man who, though hugely successful in business, and hugely contented on a personal level, claimed to be blessed with ignorance. He was ignorant of what he could not accomplish - therefore he accomplished much during his lifetime. This man's potential was not stifled by the abbreviated word "can't." It simply did not figure into his thinking.

That's not to say this man did not experience failure. He had no magical Midas touch - his personal life, while appearing to be immensely satisfying for him, included the same trials and tragedies experienced by any other human being. Yet he seemed to regard failure as an educational asset, and adversity as an opportunity for progress.

While this man did not fear failure, he ultimately did not fear success.

To succeed means to be a winner - to be at or at least near the top of the heap. But along with winning comes a profound responsibility. A football team that takes the championship is suddenly saddled with a near crushing responsibility to carry on that level of play. A person who is successful in business is expected to continue being successful. Success carries with it an inherent burden.

Do you fear the burden of success?

Success is only achieved through progress, and progress is only achieved through risk. A mushroom never takes a risk. It hides underground until conditions are perfect, and then emerges for only a short while. It never transmutes - never changing - remaining forever a mushroom.

Humans fear risk because it involves dealing with unknown concepts and quantities. We're not sure what will happen if we take action, and that is a frightening concept in and of itself.

Unfortunately, when we fear the risk of taking action, we relegate ourselves to remaining underground with the mushrooms - to be waiting forever for perfect conditions. We never change. We never progress. We never become anything other than what we already are. We procrastinate, and attempt to content ourselves with a "someday I will" philosophy of living.

Do you fear the risk of success?

Now modern psychology, for all its inherent flaws, tells us that most humans suffer to some degree from low self-esteem. Perhaps we're not sure of ourselves, or however subconsciously, do not believe we are worthy of success. We seem to regard "other people" as better, more deserving, and having a successful life neatly tucked into a hand basket.

Perhaps we fear to associate in those circles of seemingly successful people - to be seen in the unworthy light that we have falsely cast upon ourselves - a light that no one but us can see.

Do you fear the circles of success?

Success can be measured in a multitude of ways - a successful marriage, a successful career, a successful social life, a successful vegetable garden. Success does not always relate to riches and fame, or the accumulation of material wealth. But you will find that any brand of success you seek will develop only from an attitude of personal courage.

And it has been said that courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the ability to take action in spite of fear. Nothing, absolutely nothing in life is a sure bet, except that a mushroom will always remain a mushroom.

Biz-Tips by Dr. Kevin Nunley

Overcome Their Objection

Asking for a prospect's help can be very effective. If a prospect says that he doesn't want to meet with you, ask what you would have to say in order to convince him that your service can work. This way, the prospect will be telling you exactly how to overcome their objection.

Often talked of, never seen,
Ever coming, never been,
Daily looked for, never here,
Still approaching, coming near,
Thousands for it's visit wait,
But alas for their fate,
Tho' they expect me to appear,
They will never find me here.

What is this poem about?

A Little Humor

I Can't Make You Younger!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

An elderly gentleman wasn't feeling well, and became irritated with his doctor because he wasn't getting better after five visits.

"Look!" said the doctor. "I'm doing all I can to help you. I can't make you younger!"

"I wasn't interested in getting any younger," said the man. "I just want to continue getting older."

A man decides to join the circus. He shows up to demonstrate his skills to the impresario.

"I have the most unusual act," he announces. "I'm sure it will amaze you."

He proceeds to climb a tall tower, and jumps off. He flaps his arms wildly, and finally his fall slows. He soars upward, turns and swoops back again. Finally he stops in mid air and gently lowers himself to the ground.

The impresario stares blankly at him for a long time. Finally he says,
"Is that all you've got? Bird impressions?"

You Know You Are No Longer A Kid When...

Driving a car doesn't always sound like fun.

You have friends who have kids.

You are taller than the slide at the McDonald's playland.

Your parents' jokes are now funny.

Naps are good.

When things go wrong, you can't just yell, "Do-over!"

You WANT clothes for Christmas.

A man enters a barber shop for a shave. While the barber is foaming him up, he mentions the problems he has getting a close shave around the cheeks. "I have just the thing," says the barber taking a small wooden ball from a nearby drawer, "Just place this between your cheek and gum." The client places the ball in his mouth and the barber proceeds with the closest shave the man has ever experienced.

After a few strokes, the client asks in garbled speech, "And what if I swallow it?"

"No problem," says the barber. "Just bring it back tomorrow like everyone else does."

Health Tip of the Week
by Dr. Earl Mindell

Have a Glass of (Red) Wine!

A study of mice genetically geared to be overweight has found that resveratrol from red wine (and grape skins and seeds) may reverse or even prevent the negative effects of diets high in bad fats. The investigators fed their mice high-fat diets resembling fast-food diets in composition and nutrient density.

While they still got quite chunky, the mice given concentrated resveratrol lived longer (lifespan was increased 20 percent) and stayed healthier; their circulatory systems, livers, and muscle held up much better, resembling those of more svelte, better-fed mice. Action step: enjoy red wine or grape juice.

If you haven’t started to do so already, there’s even more evidence that these beverages are excellent for your health. To match the intake of the mice, you’d need to use a supplement that offered 22.4 milligrams per kilogram of resveratrol per day; a glass of red wine has only 0.3% of that amount. A comprehensive phytonutrient antioxidant supplement containing resveratrol could help you live longer and better.
