    • 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 SEPTEMBER 09 (Because we all are winners) Do you look at the future with hope and a belief that no matter what comes your way, you will succeed? Or, do you look at the future as hopeless, and there's nothing that can be done to change it? What you believe has a lot to do with how well you weather the challenges in life. Continuing on with our conversation thread of this week, today let's talk about how our beliefs affect what happens to us. A couple of things to keep in mind: 1) As human beings, we move toward and become like what we think about; and 2) Our present thoughts determine our future. As human beings, we are teleological or goal-oriented. Also, we are picture-oriented. We think in pictures. If I say, "red apple" you don't see the words "red" and "apple." In your mind, you actually "see" a red apple. You see, we don't see with our eyes. We pick up light with our eyes and then it is translated into images in our brains, depending upon how we've been conditioned to translate the light. Words create pictures, and we are drawn to pictures. So, if you believe the future is hopeless, you will be drawn to every hopeless, depressing, "it's only going to get worse" story you can find. We are comfortable when we find evidence to prove what we believe is true, and we act in accordance with those beliefs. This is also known as a self-fulfilling prophecy. "I knew it was going to be bad, and it is." The same thing holds true if we believe the future is full of opportunity, and that we have the power to make it even better. We will see evidence of the possibilities, and be drawn to them because that's what we are thinking about. It is not surprising that people who look with positive intent are healthier, happier and more successful. How do we make that switch in belief? It's all about changing that internal picture you hold, it isn't going to happen by accident. It will come by your intent
