Positive Vibrations!!!!!!!



I've had a little bad attitude and motivation problem for a while. I've felt a littled stalled in life and unable to make change. I was talking with Heather a lot on the phone and she suggested reading a book . The book was "The Sucess Principles" - Jack Canfield. Jack is the author of "Chicken Soup for the Soul". Just looking at the book or the mention of it made we feel queasy. I'm a jaded middle aged man with a chip on his shoulder and this was some weird posivite smile fest with lots of hugs.

I resisted the idea for about a month, I guess. Heather visited a weekend ago and suggested that I just have a peak at her copy of the book. I did and it was much like what I thought it would be. My reaction was much as I expected but then I read one inspiration story that was in the book. I don't recall the exact story now but it described me and how that person had given into Jack's system and suceeded at a high level.

It was at that moment I decided fuck it. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain by reading the book. I have certainly made a lot of great change in my life in the last couple of years. Why not focus my mind on sucess and positive attitude? I bought the book a couple days later and fought through the first couple chapters, my bullshit meter on high. It was shortly after that moment it changed or I changed, things changed. I decide to dedicate myself to reading the WHOLE book and then going back to the beginning and doing ALL the exercises.

Since that time things have gotten better or how I perceive them has gotten better. I can't say that everything has improved, in fact some stuff has gotten worse in my life. However, I do have a better attitude and a commitment to working towards contentment and happiness in myself and my life.

Thank you Heather.

Thanks Jack.

And most of all thank me.
