Designing Web Success

I was not planning to write this article. Instead, I was going to publish an article about integrity. It has been on my mind this last week and I was planning to share some thoughts about it. Then, I received an email from Jim Donovan, one of the regular contributors to my Prosperity Paradigm eZine, and it inspired me to write once again about the magical power of gratitude.

Yes, the magical power.

Before I talk about the magic of gratitude, I want to talk about its opposite. Not the lack, not ingratitude; but resentfulness.

Powerful emotions attached to specific repetitive thoughts make things manifest. Intentional thought combined with heartfelt desire is how masters and winners create the circumstances and events of their lives. This powerful knowledge is one of the most crucial things a person who desires to be a creator instead of a mere creature needs to know and integrate into their life.

There is a dark side. Just as what you love/desire can come true, so too, as even the bible reminds us…that what you fear shall come to pass. You can witness the power of fear making things happen in many people’s lives. A victim’s attitude often creates events that cause that person to say, “see, I told you so.” They don’t, of course, know that it was their very own fear that attracted the bad thing into their life. The proverbial self-fulfilling prophecy.

It works the same with gratitude and resentfulness. When you walk around with the attitude of gratitude, life does not just seem better because of your psychological take on life, it actually is better because of the magic creative power of intentionally combining positive thought and positive emotion.

However, when you adopt the attitude of resentfulness, things don’t just seem bad…bad things actually do happen more often than they would otherwise. Resentfulness is insidious. Once you start to resent the circumstances and conditions of your life, you begin attracting more things into your life that you will not welcome UNTIL AND UNLESS you change your attitude. Some molehill appears and your resentfulness makes it into a mountain. The next thing you know, a real mountain shows up. Why? Because you attracted it. And now it is harder to be grateful instead of resentful.

That is why masters at the art of living see obstacles as an opportunity to learn, to grow, to become more powerful; and, winners see obstacles as proof that they are traveling the high road. They know that the flat, wide, easy road is the path of mediocrity. It is wide, flat and easy because it is well traveled by the majority who do not aspire or dare to achieve great things. or to challenge life and themselves to deliver more than the norm.

Losers resent winners. You see it all the time. The average person delights in the often public trials and tribulations of the high achievers. Losers do not ‘get it’ that it is their own resentfulness that makes them losers. They don’t get that the winner is grateful not just because things are going right, but because it is the gratitude that makes things go right in the first place.

If you want to be a winner, start being grateful; start existing in a constant state of thanksgiving. You don’t need some annual celebration of some romanticized historical event to feel grateful. As long as you are still breathing, you have much to be thankful for. You have, right now, the chance to make a meaningful difference in the lives of other people.

You have, right now, the chance to appreciate all you have been given. You have, right now, the chance to enjoy the pleasures of walking around on planet earth. Remember this, if you are reading this, you should know that you are better off than the overwhelming majority of other people on this planet.

Give thanks. You’ll end up with plenty to be grateful for.

Happy thanksgiving!

In my experience in working with couples, husbands can have a tough time picking out the right holiday gifts. So in the spirit of Christmas cheer, here are 7 laws of gift giving for husbands.

The Law of Black and Decker

Unless you have an express written request in writing clearly stating otherwise, never buy your wife a Christmas present containing the label Black and Decker.

The Law of Practicality

Practicality is a good thing. Just not at this time of year and definitely not the only gift. And pleading “Honey, I thought you needed a blender!” just will not cut it.

The Law of the Message

Consider the message you could be sending with your gift. One of the first gifts I ever got my ex-wife was a membership to the gym to which I belonged. I thought it would be fun and we could spend more time together. That is not the message she got.

The Law of You

Do not get something that you really want disguised as a gift for her. She will know.

The Law of Paying Attention

This is the first way to know what to get her for Christmas. Pay attention to what she notices, what she talks about, and what she wishes for, because these are great clues that can make you look real good on Christmas morning.

The Law of Asking

Here is another way to know what to get her: ask. And never, under any circumstances, even if you have it in writing, believe it if she says “Oh, you don’t have to get me anything.”

The Law of the Last Minute

Do not wait until the last minute to get the gifts. For some reason, this invalidates the gift in the mind and heart of your wife. How will she know it was a last minute gift?

They just know.

We never signed in with our full names. It was Roy C. and Don G. and Kenny B. A first name and a letter, that’s all we were in the little Podunk bar with a beer cooler for a check in table and whiskey barrels with makeshift felt table tops to play on.

But we couldn’t complain too much. There was beer, and a cute waitress. And it was mostly a good old group of fellas.

We played tournament style, tables of eight, and we usually only filled up about five. But when the usual crowd in that bar is about 15, the managers got a hard on when 40 of us showed up to play poker.

But this story, it’s about Don. Don G. That’s all any of us knew him as. He had a last name, well maybe he did. And we all assumed it started with G, but no one knows for sure. It wasn’t too uncommon for at least five of the players claiming to be Chris Moneymaker’s cousin or long lost step-brother. I didn’t complain too much.

I was the poker tournament coordinator. They could be whoever they wanted to be, besides it was their money, and a lot of it ended up in my hands. But on this particular night, the whole thing belonged to Don.

He put me out early, called me on trip kings with his sixes full of kings. Let it be conceded, bad break, bad call on his part. Luck saved his ass. Whatever.

But he got better. Much better. Made it to our final table. Three people left. Old Don G, a man by the name of Larry, and Kenny, who was our resident shark. Kenny was good, but he was a rock most of the time. But it never failed he always ended up in the final five, always ended up in the money. All because he didn’t play. He let everyone else around him play for him. And, when he had a hand, they kept on trying to beat him.

So lucky old don, and old man rock Kenny end up at the final table. Even stacks. Back and forth. Don bets, Kenny Folds. Kenny bets. Don Raises, Kenny Folds. This went on for hours.

Oh, did I mention I had to deal this thing too. I probably shuffled enough cards that night to rub the paint off the tops of their plastic coating.

April Fool’s Day is quite an appropriate way to begin National Humor Month. Here is some background information plus a few activities for you to enjoy.

Did you know that April Fool’s Day began in France in 1564? Before then, the new year was celebrated on April 1! As some Europeans continued celebrating the new year on that day, they were called April fools and their friends would play silly tricks on them.

The harmless pranks of April Fool’s Day take place in the US, Germany, France, Great Britain, and other countries. In France, an April fool is a poisson d’Avril, an April fish, and chocolate fish are a special treat. In Scotland, people call you an April cuckoo.

Be sure not to play a joke after 12 noon or you will be the fool!

Now, for a few activities:

1. Cut out a 1″ square for every child playing this game. Write “A” on one of them and put them all in a bag. Have all children choose a square, not telling anyone which they chose, and put them back in the bag. As children sit in a circle, a child is chosen to go first. If he did not choose the “A”, he will walk around the circle and return to his spot; another child is chosen. Only the child who chose the “A” will walk around the circle, tap another on the shoulder, say “April Fool!” and start running. The tapped child chases him. If the tapped child does not beat the first child back to his spot, he continues walking around the circle and taps someone else; if he DOES beat the first child back, the first child has another turn to walk, tap, and run.

2. For older children, follow the same directions for the squares. After the squares have all been chosen, let the children scatter in the play area. At the Start signal, have children start moving around. The child who chose the “A” is IT and tries to tag the other children by whispering “April Fool!” each time he tags someone. Children that are tagged must freeze into statues. IT must be subtle in order to sneak up and tag the other children.

NOTE: The top two games are easily adapted to any letter of the alphabet for any theme. Try one for a birthday party!

3. Have children create their own lists of ten things (a good way to review nouns) or create a class list. Have an interesting variety. Without letting children see the silly story they are going to create, call on ten to say one of their words or to call out one from the class list. Fill in the blanks of this story (from Spring is Here, Macmillan Seasonal Activity Packs, 1987) as they provide the words:

One day, I put on my beautiful brand- new _____. Then I went out for a walk. The first thing I saw was a funny _____. It was right next to a striped _____! Then a tiny little _____wearing a huge _____walked past me. I was so surprised that I forgot to watch where I was going. I walked right into a big _____and bumped my _____. Then I saw a huge _____riding on a small _____. I laughed so hard I almost dropped my _____. What a silly way to start the day!

4. See if you are fooled by these riddles!

a. Which animals can jump higher than a tree?
b. What are the things you’ll never eat for lunch?
c. What do you lose every time you stand up?
d. Where was the Declaration of Independence signed?
e. Why can’t you tell a secret in a vegetable garden?

5. Remember that any time is great for a SMILE BREAK! Try it when you feel tense!

I hope these ideas are useful and ignite your own creativity. Enjoy!

ANSWERS to riddles: a. Every animal can jump higher than a tree because a tree can’t jump! b. Breakfast or dinner c. Your lap d. At the bottom of the page e. The corn has ears and the potatoes have eyes.

What if there really was a Santa Clause? Do you think anyone would ever get any gifts? Oh sure a few might, but would you? The reason we are asking you this question is that as the legend has it; “He knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you are awake. He knows if you been good or bad, so be good for goodness sake!”

Oh no, so what if I have not been all that good all the time? Do I still get free gifts at Christmas? How about you? What if there really was a Santa Clause? Whoops, are you now sorry for flipping that person off on the freeway? Yelling at your spouse? Saying something negative behind someone’s back? Remember; “he knows” so you cannot deny it? What if? Well, so much for those new golf clubs, BMW or new ultra-thin nano size iPod. What if there was a God like Santa Clause which bribed you not with Eternal Salvation, but made you be good in trade for material stuff? Would you be naughty or nice?

Many believe it might work better than religion, because people could careless about heaven as that is a long time away and they know they are guilty and have so many skeletons in their closets that potentially they will never get their anyway. Yet Santa Clause, ah, that indeed might be something they can get into as he could bring a new SUV, plat panel large screen TV with surround a sound or some tickets for deluxe vacation cruise, which we all believe we deserve. Indeed, What if There Really Was a Santa Clause? Think on that.
