Pointers To Resources For Your Better Life #6
Reborn magazines, podcasts from a motivational master, and planning to succeed in 2008… welcome to the 6th edition of Pointers To Resources For Your Better Life.
Success Magazine Lives!
Karen Lynch of Live The Power let us know that the famous Success Magazine will be making a comeback in 2008. I’m pretty jazzed about this - as a fan of Napoleon Hill, W. Clement Stone, and Og Mandino, it’s really neat to see the magazine making a comeback.
Zig Ziglar Podcast
Classic Zig audio and video from Inspiring Words of Encouragement. If you haven’t ever heard Zig Ziglar before, I think you’re in for a treat. Here’s a link to one of my favorites - The Story of the Biscuits - which includes an inspiring story about encouraging others.
See Your 2008 Now
One of the top suggestions from people who have enjoyed success is that we see it, act it, live it, and be it before we achieve it. Here are a couple of exercises that might help you to do that.
Vickie of Contemplate This suggests that we write up something from the perspective of the end of 2008. I joined in, and it really was powerful. My wife even said that it was her favorite piece of my writing - I guess doubling a guy’s income really does make him sexier 
.
To add in some visuals that your subconscious can really soak up, you can set up what’s known as a “Treasure Map” or “Vision Board”. Lorraine Cohen of Powerfull Living has published an in depth article explaining the process of creating a treasure map (and shares her finished product). After you’ve finished with yours (or before you’ve started if you want more tips), check out Edward Mills’ Vision Board 2008 Invitational and display your future for the world to see! I’m committed to getting mine done well before Edward’s deadline (January 14th) - I hope you’ll join me!
Make it a great week!

Hi Gamy,
I’m glad you liked the Zig podcast. There’s some classic personal development material on there.
I’ve been a bit of a silent lurker on your blog lately… I’ll get more vocal!

Huge fan of Zig Ziglar, and attended seminars in San Diego - yikes (!) - too many years ago to want to count LOL! It’s the simple things in life and one of his best is to respond to the “How are you?” question with “EXCELLENT!” Even years later, this still catches people by surprise and how they smile
You also gain the benefits of “you are what you say you are.”

Lorraine,
You’re welcome.

Theresa,
Great point on the “You are what you say you are.” Just the act of saying “Excellent!” with a feeling of excitement behind it moves our minds and bodies into that place. Thanks for pointing that out.

I love the resources you included in your article. What a great idea to do an article with links to resources. I find that kind of thing always valuable because all of us can come up with different resources and sharing them just adds to the abundance for everyone.
Thanks
