2. IdeasWIN RECOMMENDS
-----------------------------------------------------------
For all those people out there who fail to see the problem
with sharing their music (mp3) files, or even other files.
With the controls having been exerted over Napster there
have been a group of 'replacements.' I have taken the time
to check out several.
By far the easiest to use AND the most useful program is the
(of course) freebie from http://www.BearShare.com.
Try it, I
think you'll like it - a lot.
WARNING: If you are going to get a VIRUS it will either be
from an e-mail or a Download from an insecure source. If you
are going to do ANY file exchanging - put ALL files you get
(from any source) in one folder. Name it something like
Quarantine and SCAN it with your Anti-Virus program before
using any file that is in there. Final caution: if you don't
(or can't) update your A-V Program at least once a week -
you might as well not have one.

3. Today's Feature Article
-----------------------------------------------------------
What Will Tomorrow Be Like?
I watch people a LOT. And one thing that becomes obvious
after a bit is that nearly everyone thinks that they are
stuck with their life. What is the truth? Is tomorrow out of
your control?
Sure you have a required schedule, work, watch & be with the
kids, etc. etc. But what does that have to do with it?
Is there anyone reading this that can honestly say, I can
not find ONE HOUR tomorrow to change my future? That is, if
you actually believed you could Change Your Future with that
hour? So, we ALL CAN find at least some time to do that most
worthwhile of deeds.
But Then What?
OK, we've all admitted that we can find/make/take/steal one
hour. You tell me. What can you actually do in ONE HOUR
tomorrow that will change your future?
When talking about this with people I always get certain
answers to that. Here are the most frequent; Read, Listen to
a Motivational/Inspirational/Educational tape, Take a Class,
Spend that time with someone who is where I want to be, or
Spend extra time with my loved ones.
Will it be easy? Maybe not. Is it worth it? Beyond a doubt.
Can you actually DO IT? Yes. Will you do it? Only YOU know.
That is what you can do tomorrow by finding just one 'extra'
hour, but how about the day after tomorrow?
First, can you really find ONE HOUR out of the day after
tomorrow to change your future? Of course you can, if it
will indeed Change Your Future. Now, what can you do in that
hour, something different than you will do tomorrow, that
will honestly and truthfully change your future?
The one thing that it takes to make this work on a regular
basis is someone with whom you are in frequent contact who
helps you to be the best you can be. A balcony person, who
is always lifting you up to be with them.
By definition that means someone who is 'above' you in terms
of outlook & attitude. This is where counseling comes in.
The most hard working person will have difficulty making it
if they are not receiving REGULAR counseling. I think it
needs to be weekly.
The Encouragement Factor. Or how to choose a Mentor.
Who should you choose to be your mentor?
Someone you trust fully, and who has reason to want to help
you. And more important than even that - someone who is
"Predictably Positive."
What are the actual encouraging forces that you have in your
life, right now? Who is in your life that encourages and
affirms you EACH and EVERY day? This can be a loved one or
the right kind of business mentor. But it is an absolute
necessity.
Are you doing all in your power to put yourself in the
presence of those people & factors that offer you what you
need? Or are you strung out and only get it once in a while?
Whose fault is that? In the long run, you will only succeed
if you have outside and internal forces that uplift you.
The REAL Change is in our thinking....in our attitude. The
are no shortages of Opportunity in the world. But there is a
shortage of people who are willing, not to do their best -
but to do Whatever It Takes.
Many people genuinely feel that they can not control what
happens in their life. They feel that they have no way out.
To put it mildly, Poppycock! We have all seen some business
explained and known right away that ANYONE who wanted to
could take what energy that was wasted every week and turn
it into capital. There are plenty of opportunities that will
turn the very toothpaste and shampoo and vitamins and soap
you buy every week is a business asset. You are either
making your friendly local merchant money or you are putting
it back into your own pocket.
Everyone in this world has a chance to turn tomorrow around.
And each and every person your meet can be given the same
opportunity to break free, simply by your example and your
attitude. Each of us can exert a positive force in our own
lives, and thereby in the lives of others. The Force of One.
Till next time. Good luck and God Bless.
Remember, IdeasWIN. Develop yours, Chris

5. Guest Article
-----------------------------------------------------------
Personal Philosophy is Like The Set of The Sail
In the process of living, the winds of circumstances blow on
us all in an unending flow that touches each of our lives.
We have all experienced the blowing winds of disappointment,
despair and heartbreak. Why, then, would each of us, in our
own individual ship of life, all beginning at the same
point, with the same intended destination in mind, arrive at
such different places at the end of the journey? Have we
not all been blown by the winds of circumstances and
buffeted by the turbulent storms of discontent?
What guides us to different destinations in life is
determined by the way we have chosen to set our sail. The
way that each of us thinks makes the major difference in
where each of us arrive. The major difference is the set of
the sail.
The same circumstances happen to us all. We have
disappointments and challenges. We all have reversals and
those moments when, in spite of our best plans and efforts,
things just seem to fall apart. Challenging circumstances
are not events reserved for the poor, the uneducated or the
destitute. The rich and the poor have marital problems.
The rich and the poor have the same challenges that can lead
to financial ruin and personal despair. In the final
analysis, it is not what happens that determines the quality
of our lives, it is what we choose to do when we have
struggled to set the sail and then discover, after all of
our efforts, that the wind has changed directions.
When the winds change, we must change. We must struggle to
our feet once more and reset the sail in the manner that
will steer us toward the destination of our own deliberate
choosing. The set of the sail, how we think and how we
respond, has a far greater capacity to destroy our lives
than any challenges we face. How quickly and responsibly we
react to adversity is far more important than the adversity
itself. Once we discipline ourselves to understand this, we
will finally and willing conclude that the great challenge
of life is to control the process of our thinking.
Learning to reset the sail with the changing winds rather
than permitting ourselves to be blown in a direction we did
not purposely choose requires the development of a whole new
discipline. It involves going to work on establishing a
powerful, personal philosophy that will help to influence in
a positive way all that we do and that we think and decide.
If we can succeed in this worthy endeavor, the result will
be a change in the course of our income, lifestyle and
relationships, and in how we feel about the things of value
as well as the times of challenge. If we can alter the way
we perceive, judge and decide upon the main issues of life,
then we can dramatically change our lives.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

There are three things to leave behind: your photographs,
your library and your personal journals. These things are
certainly going to be more valuable to future generations
than your furniture! From THE TREASURY OF QUOTES by Jim Rohn
