    • Hello,Bonjour,Aloha,Hola,Dumela,Gluten tag,Sekoh, and welcome to the Winner Circle for February 2010 (because we all are winners) I hope this message finds you in well being. This month's topic is Secrets Who am I? This age-old question is one of the most important you will ever ask or answer. Today, though, I want to ask you a question that is similar, but also very different. "What parts of yourself do you keep secret from others?" What do you do when you are alone that you would hate to have anyone find out about? Do you read trashy novels, talk to your plants, or consume ice cream by the quart? Do you indulge in self-destructive activities like illegal drugs or excessive alcohol use? Do you use language you'd be embarrassed to have overheard, or let the dishes pile up in the sink for days? If you do things you'd never want anyone to find out about, let me ask you another question: What do you do about that part of yourself that hates both the behavior and the deceit? Do you have to ignore part of yourself in order to keep your secret? What does it cost you to do that? Some secrets are just a harmless way to have privacy. Others are terribly destructive. They undermine relationships and cause us to lose self-respect. It is impossible to be a whole and happy person as long as we believe there are parts of ourselves that are so unacceptable we have to keep them hidden. So, let me ask you a few more questions. What does it cost you to keep your secrets? Do they stop you from being the person you'd most like to be? How might you benefit from being more open or eliminating certain behaviors altogether? Give it some thought

    • WELCOME TO THE WINNERS CIRCLE FOR JANUARY 2010 (because we all are winners) Hello readers to your new year and decade. From this day forward let's take control! No one ever has all the answers. However, people who ask good questions are the ones who interest me. Albert Einstein once said that, "The important thing is not to stop questioning." His words emphasize something I believe to be extremely important: It's not so much the answers you already have, but rather the quality of the questions you ask that determines the direction of your life. For example, what sort of questions do you ask when calamity strikes? Do you ask, "Why me, Lord?" or "What's the use of living if this is what happens?" Or, do you ask questions like, "How can I use this to learn and grow, maybe even to help others?"What kind of questions do you ask your kids? Do you say, "What's the matter with you?" Or, do you ask, "What are you looking forward to?" or "How will you show your teacher how smart you are?" Your relationships, do you ask questions that can be answered with just "yes" or "no" or do you ask open-ended questions that encourage people to tell you more about themselves? And finally, what kind of questions do you ask yourself? Do you say, "How am I going to get through the day?" or "What can I do to make today really great?" How about questions that encourage you to think about the purpose of your life and your reasons for doing what you are doing? Change the quality of the questions you ask, and you will be changing the focus of your attention. Change the focus of your attention, and you will change the results you get. Go ahead. Try it and see.

    • WELCOME TO THE WINNERS CIRCLE FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER 09 (Because we all are wiiners) HELLO TO ALL ZUNE MEMBERS AND WINNER CIRCLE MONTHLY READERS. NAMASTE. THANK-YOU YOU ALL FOR GRACIOUS COMMENTS, AND SUPPORT FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. A SHOUT OUT TO THE NOVEMBER HAPPY HOLIDAYS LIKE ALL SAINTS DAY, ALL SOULS DAY, REMEMBRANCE DAY, THANKSGIVING DAY AND THE ISLAMIC HOLIDAY EID AL ADHA, AND THE JEWISH HOLIDAYS, HANUKKAH / CHANUKAH. "Hope and the Environment" is the topic this month. Do you listen to people who say we have polluted our environment past the point of hope? I don't, and I'll tell you why. There are some doom and gloom environmentalists and others out there, who, for their own misguided reasons, would rob the rest of us of hope. I believe that a hopeless attitude is just as dangerous as anything we could do to pollute the environment. Hopelessness is like a lethal nerve gas - it prevents us from seeing the kind of world we want for our children and grandchildren, and then doing what we need to do to create it. Hopelessness will kill the dream of a healthy planet quicker than all the holes in the ozone layer and all the chemicals released into the atmosphere put together. To hope is not foolish. If you look for reasons to despair, you will find them. But if you choose, instead, to look for reasons to hope, you will find them also. Why not collect hopeful signs, like some folks collect stamps, coins or baseball cards? Then, when you hear people saying that it doesn't matter what we do, because it is too late to save the environment, tell them they are wrong. Prove it with examples from your collection. Yes, there is work to be done and we will find the tools to use. Each of us can make a difference - you can make a difference!

    • WELCOME TO THE WINNER CIRCLE FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER 09 (Because we all are winners) Bright moments to you and yours and the subject for this month is your comfort. I ask you; What have you gotten used to in your life, and why? It has been said that people can get used to almost anything. If it happens gradually over time and in small enough increments, I believe this is true. When you become used to things being a certain way, you develop what we call a comfort zone around them. When you're in your comfort zone, you don't really have to think too much about it. If you're used to cleaning up your house every day because you like things neat and tidy, it will put you out of your comfort zone to wake up in the morning and see a sink full of dirty dishes. Generally, you will make sure that doesn't happen. If, on the other hand, you get used to seeing a sink full of dirty dishes every morning when you get up, it won't bother you at all. Now, if you are expecting company, the things you've gotten used to and comfortable with may suddenly become very un-comfortable. "That's okay for me," you may think, "But I don't want my company to see it like that," and you go to work to clean up the mess. Do you know people who go on crash diets before a school reunion or other special events? It is the same sort of thing. Take a look at your life. Are there things you've gotten used to, bit by bit, that surprise you a little now? Don't just put on a facade for company. Aren't you worthy of the same consideration and the same high standards you display for others? Do it for yourself, because you deserve it
