“To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.” – This is to have succeeded.
A relationship is a natural, logical, and harmonious association. This happens when people WANT to be with each other and look forward to sharing goals, time, and activities together.
Here are fun and easy ways to a loving Relationship.
TALK. Always in pleasant tones. No shouting or swearing at each other. Speak only positive words with gentleness and kindness. Communicate daily. This is the highest and most caring form of love.
WALK TOGETHER more. Take 30 minutes a day. To exercise, communicate, release emotions, share ideas, goals, and to clear up any misunderstandings. It’s okay to hold hands, too!
Do NEW and DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES together. Enjoy a new restaurant, a different dish, a concert, a unique vacation, attend a class together something exciting both of you can plan and look forward to. Learn together and you’ll be happier.
Give each other GIFTS often. Like a magazine subscription, a special book, a warm bath and massage, flowers, surprise experiences, favorite foods, and the many other special things your mate would enjoy and get excited about.
Write LOVE NOTES. Hide them around the home — in clothing, pockets, in the kitchen drawer and secret places. Send some to his or her working place. Write a passionate love letter. Express your love in writing on exquisite stationery. Attach a gift certificate or a crispy $100 bill. Use your imagination and make it a fun surprise. And do it often!
DO NOT CRITICIZE, CONDEMN or COMPLAIN! This is a NO-NO. Only praises. Acknowledge the goodness in each other. There is no place for negativity in a loving and lasting relationship ever! Your mate will do the right thing — as you lead by example.
ACHIEVE and MAINTAIN your IDEAL figure. It is a gift to yourself and your mate. A healthy and attractive body also promotes a healthy relationship.
Allow your partner to be RESPONSIBLE for his or her life. He or she has the right to determine his or her own reality and destiny. Always respect that choice. Both of you can live your lives in your own way harmoniously. Treasure each other’s differences. Do your very best >to make life easier and more fun for your mate.
Grow TOGETHER. At the same speed and direction — by sharing similar ideas and activities. This will bond you together even more while building on fond memories. (People who don’t grow together will complete their relationship and move on to lead separate lives. This is why most people divorce.
DO NOT be POSSESSIVE. Don’t act as though you “own” your mate. Support, encourage each other’s way of living and individual interests. Be grateful in harmony.
TREASURE your TIME together. It could be your last. Look at it this way and you’ll always appreciate each other even more. Have NO reason for regrets. Spend time with each other doing all the things you both love to do. Do it now! Tomorrow may not come. So together—plan now for the best of the rest of your lives.
IT is OKAY to DO whatever pleases BOTH of you. In private, there are no limits on what you can do together with each other…as long as both benefit and agree. Whatever other people think of what you do or say is none of your business! So, go ahead experiment — and satisfy each other to the limit!
Be OPEN. To new ideas, experiences, and relationships. This is the way for fun, growth and expansion in your lives. The more you LEARN together…the happier you both will be.
FORGIVE and LOVE. Release the past at every moment. Live in the present. Plan for the future — together…and joyously!
Be FREE of resentments, anger, jealousy, hatred, and envy toward each other. This will open both of you to even greater respect for each other. Be thankful for your mate’s kindness.
Eliminate arguing totally. Anywhere, anytime. Especially while eating or in bed. Each person has a right to his or her own opinion. Respect each others ideas, philosophy, and outlook on life. Be a great listener!
SMILE and LAUGH with each other. A prescription for aliveness and health. Don’t take yourself or your mate too seriously. Lighten up and laugh more often. Remember, your smiles are true gifts to each other.
Look into each other’s EYES often. See the love, truth, and beauty in your mate. The more you look into each other’s eyes lovingly, the more you will love each other more deeply! Do this daily. It’s very powerful and fun!
TOUCH each other TENDERLY every day. Hug. Kiss. Caress. These are wonderful ways to show caring and love. We ALL need it. More than we care to admit!
Develop a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. Good food promotes a healthier state of mind for a more meaningful relationship. Eat lots of fruits, vegetables, whole wheat, grains, hi-fiber, low-fat, low-calorie foods. Drink more water. Get more rest. Keep yourself cleansed, nourished, and balanced.
Keep your home, car, kitchen, closets, rooms — simple, neat, clean and organized. This will help promote a tranquil setting for greater peace and happiness in your lives. It really works! Begin this today!
Dress your best. Be appropriate, neat, clean, and proud of your appearance. How you look, especially in public — enhances your mate’s choice and appearance, too!
SHARE in Financial Matters. If you are married, communicate with each other on all your finances. If you have a family business, be sure both are informed on profits, losses, expenses, etc. Set your financial priorities together. This will help to strengthen your relationship which is built on trust and sharing. Enjoy building your financial future together. This is important.
ACCEPT each other TOTALLY. Exactly the way both of you are. Do not try to change each other’s uniqueness. Allow your mate to change if and
when he or she desires. This promotes everlasting peace.
Say: “I LOVE YOU”. Daily, many times. Especially when you wake up and before you go to sleep. Say it for the rest of your lives together. Never ever take love for granted. Express it verbally as well as with action. We all need to hear that magical phrase. It reaffirms how we feel at that moment. So, fill your lives with millions of moments of love by saying: “I love you.”
Opportunity is never lost. It simply goes to those who are ready. Are you ready?
While most people spend most of their lives struggling to earn a living, a much smaller number seem to have everything going their way. Instead of just earning a living, the smaller group is busily working at building and enjoying a fortune. Everything just seems to work out for them.
And here sits the much larger group, wondering how life can be so unfair, so complicated and unjust. What’s the major difference between the little group with so much and the larger group with so little?
Despite all of the factors that affect our lives – like the kind of parents we have, the schools we attended, the part of the country we grew up in – none has as much potential power for affecting our futures as our ability to dream.
Dreams are a projection of the kind of life you want to lead. Dreams can drive you. Dreams can make you skip over obstacles. When you allow your dreams to pull you, they unleash a creative force that can overpower any obstacle in your path. To unleash this power, though, your dreams must be well defined. A fuzzy future has little pulling power. Well-defined dreams are not fuzzy. Wishes are fuzzy. To really achieve your dreams, to really have your future plans pull you forward, your dreams must be vivid.
You’ve got to be a dreamer! You’ve got to envision the future. You’ve got to see the finish line while you’re running the race. You’ve got to hear the cheers when you’re in the middle of a monster project. And you’ve got to be willing to put yourself through the paces of doing the uncomfortable until it becomes comfortable. Because that’s how you realize your dreams.
To Your Success,
Bobby Wan
Too often we don’t realize
what we have until it is gone;
Too often we wait too late to say
“I’m sorry – I was wrong.”
Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
we hold dearest to our hearts;
And we allow foolish things to tear our lives apart.
Far too many times we let
unimportant things into our minds;
And then it’s usually too late
to see what made us blind.
So be sure that you let people know
how much they mean to you;
Take that time to say the words
before your time is through.
Be sure that you appreciate
everything you’ve got’
And be thankful for the Little Things
in Life that mean a lot.
cheers,
Bobby Wan
MOMENTS TO REMEMBER:
You may not always control the deposits into your memory bank, but you can control the memories you choose to withdraw or dwell upon.
Life is guaranteed to give you some unpleasant experiences. And because your mind is such an awesome and powerful instrument, it will automatically store those experiences in your memory. For example, if you choose to do so, at this very moment you can conjure up the memory of the five worst experiences of your life. You have the ability to re-live your painful memories in vivid detail, re-experiencing all the hurt, bitterness, and anxiety.
But why would anybody want to call to mind his or her most disturbing memories? What purpose does it serve to run sad memories through your head? It only causes needless pain. Yet people torture themselves with painful memories every day. People use their minds to make themselves miserable and then try to feel better by using alcohol, drugs, and other diversions. But wouldn’t it be better if they didn’t depress themselves in the first place?
After all, everybody has pleasant memories as well as painful ones. It is just as easy to remember something good, as it is to remember something bad. It is a matter of free choice.
You pick the memories you bring to your mind. Are you being good to yourself by remembering your joys, your loving relationships, and your triumphs? Or are you tormenting yourself by dredging up your failures, your rejections, and your disappointments?
I like what Buck Rodgers, a former vice president of IBM, said: “I have what I consider a selective memory. I pick and choose which memories I’ll draw from my memory bank, and I have chosen those that make me feel good.”
How about you? Do you make yourself feel good by recalling pleasant memories? Or do you make yourself feel bad by thinking about depressing memories? The choice is yours. As for me, I’ll choose a positive memory every time.
THE LAWS OF SUCCESS:
- Law of Cause and Effect: This is the “granddaddy” law from which all other laws in every field flow. It has been variously called the “Law of Sowing and Reaping,” the “Law of Action and Reaction,” the “law of Compensation” and the “Socratic Law.” This law says that this is an orderly universe. There are no accidents. Everything happens for a reason. For every effect, there’s a cause or a set of causes.
- Law of Mind: Thoughts objectify themselves. You become what you think about.
- Law of Mental Equivalency: To achieve success in any area, you must have a clear image of that success in your mind – a mental picture of your idea of success.
- Law of Correspondence: Your outer world will mirror your inner life. There is a direct correspondence between your experiences and your thoughts and attitudes.

Here’s a touching story that we may learn something from.
Let’s sort out our priorities today! The older I get, the more I enjoy Saturday mornings.
Perhaps it’s the quiet solitude that comes with being the first to rise, or maybe it’s the unbounded joy of not having to be at work.
Either way, the first few hours of a Saturday morning are most enjoyable.
A few weeks ago, I was shuffling toward the kitchen with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and the morning paper in the other.
What began as a typical Saturday morning turned into one of those lessons that life seems to hand you from time to time.
Let me tell you about it.
I turned the volume up on my radio in order to listen to a Saturday morning talk show. I heard an older sounding chap with a golden voice.
You know the kind, he sounded like he should be in the broadcasting business himself.
He was talking about “a thousand marbles” to someone named “Tom”.
I was intrigued and sat down to listen to what he had to say. “Well, Tom, it sure sounds like you’re busy with your job.
I’m sure they pay you well but it’s a shame you have to be away from home and your family so much.
Hard to believe a young fellow should have to work sixty or seventy hours a week to make ends meet. Too bad you missed your daughter’s dance recital”.
He continued, “Let me tell you something Tom, something that has helped me keep a good perspective on my own priorities”.
And that’s when he began to explain his theory of a “thousand marbles”.
”You see, I sat down one day and did a little arithmetic. The average person lives about seventy-five years.
I know, some live more and some live less, but on average, folks live about seventy-five years”.
”Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3900 which is the number of Saturdays that the average person has in their entire lifetime.
Now stick with me Tom, I’m getting to the important part”.
”It took me until I was fifty-five years old to think about all this in any detail”, he went on, “and by that time I had lived through over twenty-eight hundred Saturdays. I got to thinking that if I lived to be seventy-five, I only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy”.
”So I went to a toy store and bought every single marble they had. I ended up having to visit three toy stores to roundup 1000 marbles. I took them home and put them inside of a large, clear plastic container right here in my workshop next to the radio. Every Saturday since then, I have taken one marble out and thrown it away”.
”I found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focused more on the really important things in life.
There is nothing like watching your time here on this earth run out to help get your priorities straight”.
”Now let me tell you one last thing before I sign-off with you and take my lovely wife out for breakfast. This morning, I took the very last marble out of the container. I figure if I make it until next Saturday then God has blessed me with a little extra time to be with my loved ones……”
”It was nice to talk to you Tom, I hope you spend more time with your loved ones, and I hope to meet you again someday. Have a good morning!”.
You could have heard a pin drop when he finished.
Even the show’s moderator didn’t have anything to say for a few moments.
I guess he gave us all a lot to think about. I had planned to do some work that morning, then go to the gym.
Instead, I went upstairs and woke my wife up with a kiss.
”C’mon honey, I’m taking you and the kids to breakfast.”
”What brought this on”? she asked with a smile.
”Oh, nothing special”, I said.
”It has just been a long time since we spent a Saturday together with the kids.
Hey, can we stop at a toy store while we’re out? I need to buy some marbles.”
cheers!
Over the years I’ve been teaching kids about a simple but powerful concept – the ant philosophy. I think everybody should study ants. They have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part: ants never quit.
That’s a good philosophy. If they’re headed somewhere and you try to stop them, they’ll look for another way.
They’ll climb over, they’ll climb under, they’ll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy, to never quit looking for a way to get where you’re supposed to go. Second, ants think winter all summer.
That’s an important perspective. You can’t be so naive as to think summer will last
forever. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer.
An ancient story says, “Don’t build your house on the sand in the summer.” Why do we need that advice? Because it is important to be realistic. In the summer, you’ve got to think storm. You’ve got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead.
The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter. That is so important. During the winter, ants remind themselves, “This won’t last long; we’ll soon be out of here.” And the first warm day, the ants are out. If it turns cold again,
they’ll dive back down, but then they come out the first warm day.
They can’t wait to get out. And here’s the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that he possibly can. What an incredible philosophy, the “all-that-you-possibly-can” philosophy.
Wow, what a great seminar to attend – the ant seminar. Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.
To Your Success,
Bobby
For every disciplined effort, there are multiple rewards.
That’s one of life’s great arrangements. In fact, it’s an extension of the Biblical law that says that if you sow well, you will reap well.
Here’s a unique part of the Law of Sowing and Reaping. Not only does it suggest that we’ll all reap what we’ve sown, it also suggests that we’ll reap much more. Life is full of laws that both govern and explain behaviors, but this may well be the major law we need to understand: for every disciplined effort, there are multiple rewards.
What a concept! If you render unique service, your reward will be multiplied. If you’re fair and honest and patient with others, your reward will be multiplied. If you give more than you expect to receive, your reward is more than you expect. But remember: the key word here, as you might well imagine, is discipline.
Everything of value requires care, attention, and discipline. Our thoughts require discipline. We must consistently determine our inner boundaries and our codes of conduct, or our thoughts will be confused. And if our thoughts are confused, we will become hopelessly lost in the maze of life. Confused thoughts produce confused results.
Remember the law: “For every disciplined effort, there are multiple rewards. ” Learn the discipline of writing a card or a letter to a friend. Learn the discipline of paying your bills on time, arriving to appointments on time, or using your time more effectively.
Learn the discipline of paying attention, or paying your taxes or paying yourself. Learn the discipline of having regular meetings with your associates, or your spouse, or your child, or your parent. Learn the discipline of learning all you can learn, of teaching all you can teach, of reading all you can read.
For each discipline, multiple rewards. For each book, new knowledge. For each success, new ambition. For each challenge, new understanding. For each failure, new determination. Life is like that. Even the bad experiences of life provide their own special contribution. But a word of caution here for those who neglect the need for care and attention to life’s disciplines: everything has its price.
Everything affects everything else. Neglect discipline, and there will be a price > to pay. All things of value can be taken for granted with the passing of time.
That’s what we call the Law of Familiarity. Without the > discipline of paying constant, daily attention, we take things for granted. Be serious. Life’s not a practice session.
If you’re often inclined to toss your clothes onto the chair rather than hanging them in the closet, be careful. It could suggest a lack of discipline. And remember, a lack of discipline in the small areas of life can cost you heavily in the more important areas of life.
You cannot clean up your company until you learn the discipline of cleaning your own Garage. You cannot be impatient with your children and be patient with your distributors or your employees. You cannot inspire others to sell more when that goal is inconsistent with your own conduct. You cannot admonish others to read good books when you don’t have a library card.
Think about your life at this moment. What areas need attention right now? Perhaps you had a disagreement with someone you love or someone who loves you, and your anger won’t allow you to speak to that person. Wouldn’t this be an ideal time to examine your need for a new discipline? Perhaps you’re on the brink of giving up, or starting over, or starting out. And the only missing ingredient to your incredible success story in the future is a new and self-imposed discipline that will make you try harder and work more intensely than you ever thought you could.
The most valuable form of discipline is the one that you impose upon yourself. Don’t wait for things to deteriorate so drastically that someone else must impose discipline in your life. Wouldn’t that be tragic? How could you possibly explain the fact that someone else thought more of you than you thought of yourself?
That they forced you to get up early and get out into the marketplace when you would have been content to let success go to someone else who cared more about themselves.
Your life, my life, the life of each one of us is going to serve as either a warning or an example. A warning of the consequences of neglect, self-pity, lack of direction and ambition … or an example of talent put to use, of discipline self-imposed, and of objectives clearly perceived and intensely pursued.
To your success
