Don't Survive - THRIVE!
There's not questioning the fact that times are extremely difficult. The economy is a little shaky right now and doesn't seem like thing are going to clear up for a little while longer. We are all facing some tough times and tough decisions. And most of us, confronted with this bleak economic forecast, are holding up and barely making ends meet. We are doing just enough to survive - and we are still barely getting by. So what's the solution?
"Mad Men" A New Show on AMC
Tony Dungy
I just read where Coach Tony Dungy's new book, "Quiet Strength: The Principles, Practices, & Priorities of a Winning Life", was released on July 10th. I have my copy ordered and can't wait to read it.
I have followed Coach Dungy's career for a long time. I have followed him since his early NFL days throughout his entire coaching career and have always been a very big fan. His coaching style, his quiet reserve, and his leadership qualities have served him well throughout his career. He is an impressive person and a wonderful role model.
After coaching his team, the Indianapolis Colts, to a win in this year's Super Bowl, I listened to his comments to the media after the game. They were very inspiring and faith based. After listening to him, one could only walk away wanting to be a better Christian, husband, father, and leader. What an inspiration he was on that evening!
The Secret Is Here!
If you've not heard, The Secret is one of the hottest topics in America, having been featured on Larry King, and more recently, Oprah Winfrey devoted two full episodes to exploring this emerging phenomena. Books stores are having a difficult time keeping the materials in stock - the book, the DVD and the audio tape. "The Secret" is based on the Law of Attraction. If you've not heard this before, the Law of Attraction simply states that 'like attracts like", so therefore you thoughts are magnets, and good or bad, attract things into your life.
The Secret - Is it Really?
Ever since Oprah featured, "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne on her show, the whole concept has been taking quite a few shots. The media has chimed in with it's negatives. I have heard television evangelist funneling criticism and piling on with the negatives as well. Why does this idea seem to inspire so much dialogue and attract so much criticism? Isn't what is being said a good thing?
I believe that when we encourage people to do something better about their lives, that's a positive step in the right direction. "The Secret" moves us towards doing something better for ourselves. Based on the law of attraction, "The Secret" encourages us to send out positive energy of the life that we want to have. In a sense, it tells us that 'we get what we give'.
