      • 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

      • 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

      • WELCOME TO THE WINNER CIRCLE FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST 2009(Because we all are winners!) Welcome Zune networkers, loyal readers and friends. This month is addressing loneliness. Loneliness is something most of us dread, but even loneliness has its positive aspects. Loneliness can be painful, but, as with other things, it is your attitude toward loneliness that counts. You can take a negative attitude, in which case you may either run from being alone like the plague or wallow in it, immersed in self-pity. You can also take a positive attitude, recognizing it as an essential experience of every human being and using it creatively as a resource for knowing the self, and discovering your center and focus in life. It is only when we can stand alone, when we can admit our separateness, that we can make full use of our individual resources to set about finding our meaningful connections with others. You see, when the love and understanding with which we reach out to others is based upon a true sense of the self that we have discovered in confrontation with our loneliness, then it is based on reality instead of on false expectations. You alone can change yourself. You alone can make a decision for growth. You alone are the central point of reference in your life. Knowing these things can be a lonely experience, but out of it can comea greater strength and confidence in your ability to meet life and provide inner security that fear cannot destroy.

      • WELCOME TO THE WINNERS CIRCLE FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE.2009 (BECAUSE WERE ALL WINNERS) This came to me one night while watching the world turn. If you see something violent in a movie or on TV and you imitate it who is responsible? This is an interesting question, and one that bears some serious thought. If a kidnapper imitates something she saw in a movie, are the moviemakers responsible for her actions? Not as far as I'm concerned. If a murderer says he was inspired by something he saw on a TV show, is the TV show responsible? I sure don't think so. Now, don't get me wrong. I believe our entertainment media should aim for high-quality productions that improve character and inspire us to live better lives. But the best way to ensure that this happens is to "vote with your feet" so to speak. In other words, refrain from buying products sponsoring shows that conflict with your moral values, and write to the sponsors telling them how you feel. The same goes for movies. Don't plunk your money down at the box office if you're concerned about the movie's message, no matter how long the lines are to get in the door. And let's not be confused about personal accountability, either. Except in the case of a genuine and serious mental illness, each of us is responsible for our own actions, no matter what the circumstances. It does no one any good to blame a TV show, a movie, the media, the so-called "system," or society in general for individual acts of violence or immorality. Personal accountability is the cornerstone of a healthy society just as it is an essential part of a healthy individual
