Today's Topic - PRINCIPLE: Farce 
(Principles are basic truths that, when applied, 
cause success to come to you easier and quicker.)
"May the Farce be with you." Huh?
In the Star Wars movies the line is, "May the Force be 
with you." The movie line refers to some unseen, powerful, 
prevailing resource available to help you have your life 
be better. Whether you agree with that or not, there is 
another undeniable force at work in your life. It is also 
unseen, powerful, and prevailing, and it affects your life 
at least as much as the Force.
It is the stories you've made up that are not true. Self- 
limiting beliefs like: 
"I can't." "That's scary." "I'm afraid." "I don't know how."
These stories -- these farces -- keep you imprisoned. 
These stories keep you from experiencing all that you 
really are, from performing optimally, from enjoying the 
full expression of your life.
In the artistic world a farce includes an element of comedy, 
but you are probably not laughing at your self-limiting 
stories and certainly not at the results of them.
May the Farce be with you? No. It's may the Farce 
NOT be with you!
Look into your stories. Resolve them. Break free from 
the Farce.
Coaching Point: What is one story you're telling 
yourself right now that just simply is not true?

Steve’s 3-Minute Coaching – PRINCIPLE: Second Aid

Here’s another great principle from my friend Steve!

Today's Topic - PRINCIPLE: Second Aid
	(Principles are basic truths that, when applied,
	cause success to come to you easier and quicker.) 

Every Boy Scout and Girl Scout knows about first aid.
A 1948 printing of the Boy Scout Manual states that
first aid is "the emergency care given to anyone who
is badly hurt or who is taken suddenly sick. It is also
the immediate care that is necessary to prevent slight
injuries from becoming much more serious." Many
people are trained and prepared to administer first aid
in an emergency situation. 

But what of second aid? The term sounds jarring
because we don't use it, certainly not often. Second
aid is what happens after the immediate crisis is over,
whether in a medical, life-threatening situation or in
our everyday living. 

Do you have a good ability to jump in and handle sudden
situations in your business, family, community, and
spiritual life? Are you good at first aid? Many people
are quite good at fixing things, moving from problem
to problem "putting splints on the breaks" if you will. 

How is your follow-up, your second aid? Do you look
for the core reasons underlying the just-solved problem?
Do you create permanent solutions? Do you even
enjoy permanent solutions or, instead, get your
satisfaction from attacking the next problem? 

There is no right or wrong here, there is only
understanding how you show up and the results you're
getting. If you're not interested in second aid,
surround yourself with resources which will provide
it. If you do like to create permanent solutions,
then enjoy doing that. 

Self-awareness is the key. 

Coaching Point: Who is the provider of second aid in
your life?

Raising Rocks

It’s been a while since my last post.  I apologize for that.  Hopefully this is the start of something good.  I’m reposting one of Steve Straus’ 3-Minute Coaching that I received this morning.  I hope you get as much out of it as I did.  It was loud and clear!!!

Peace and love,

Elle

Today's Topic - PRINCIPLE: Raising Rocks
	(Principles are basic truths that, when applied,
	cause success to come to you easier and quicker.) 

The old saying is that "a rising tide raises all boats."
While that's true enough, it has also been pointed out
that a rising tide won't raise rocks! 

The environments you create, and participate in, can
elevate you and those around you. But there are some
people who are resistant to having their life be better. 

Don't bother trying to raise the rocks. You've got plenty
of others who will enjoy sailing away with you. 

Coaching Point: Who comes to mind first?

$500,000 Tomorrow!!!

A couple of years back I read a book by Ester and Jerry Hicks called Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires.

Actually, I’m going to take a step back because the story behind me getting this book is so interesting and I love to tell it.

A few years back, I was taking some courses through Peak Potentials Training.  I highly recommend their courses.  One of the courses in particular is called The Enlightened Warrior Training Camp.  It’s a course on how to “tap into your higher self and unleash your full capacity for success and happiness”.  I highly recommend.

The sister camp to Warrior is called The Wizard Training Camp which is all about manifesting.  I really wanted to take the course along with my fellow Warriors with whom I had become very close.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to at the time.  However, during any course that you take with Peak Potentials, they provide a sheet of affirmations that I love reading out loud every morning.  It keeps you in the groove.  So I asked my fellow warriors if they would provide me with the list when they got back.  The thing is, we are sworn during these camps not to divulge any information to others in order for the new people taking the camps to have a full experience when they do take the camp.

I knew this but was not satisfied with this answer.  I wanted to become a Wizard without delay.  So the next morning I woke up absolutely determined to become a Wizard, with or without the affirmations or the courses, and I stated it out loud.

That evening I came home to a FedEx box that was delivered to my front door.  It was from my friend Anneloes in Holland.  Inside the box was a copy of Ask and It Is Given!  No word of a lie and also my friend had no idea about my desire.  She just sent me the book because she thought I would like it and I just happen to get it on the same day that I stated I would become a Wizard no matter what!  It was my most amazing experience of manifesting so far!

This book is so amazing.  It spoke to me like no other book had done before.  It answered some questions that I had been asking for a long time.

It also has some great exercises that teach you about manifesting, because it’s all a state of mind.  One of these exercises is the $1000/day exercise.  What you do is, on paper, you deposit $1000 into your account.  Then you have to spend that $1000 in the same day, on whatever you want.  The only thing you shouldn’t use this money for is paying bills because what you focus on is what you get.  Then, every day after you increase the amount that you have to spend by $1000.  So that means the next day you spend $2000 and the day after $3000 and so on.  When you get to a year, you have to spend $365,000 in a day!

Now you might think that this is easy.  Well at least that is what I thought at first.  And to tell you the truth, at first it was easy.  But then I got to about $16,000 and it started getting hard.  It got a little easier at the low 20’s because I started buying cars but then you run out of cars that you want.

I’ve been doing this for a year and a half and tomorrow is the day that I reach $500,000!

Obviously, I love this exercise and I recommend you give it a try.  You might not last as long as I have but it will open your eyes to possibilities!

Enjoy!

Peace and love,

Elle
