I am currently reading a great little book called "The Fred Factor" by Mark Sanborn. The book is thought provoking and motivational.
This morning I read about making a difference. Mark said "To make a difference means to affect another person, group, or situation." He points out that we make a difference by the way we treat people, be it a positive difference or a negative one. We have the choice in how we behave and how we treat others.
I remember watching a video a few years ago. I think it was called "If Looks Could Kill". It was about the cumulative effects of someone having a bad day. How the first person's bad mood influenced the people he came in contact with and how those people then became miserable and snarly with the next person, etc. As Mark said "...neglecting, criticizing, and belittling others, whether intentionally or not, produces a negative difference."
Reading this this morning reminded me that I have a choice in how I behave towards others, regardless of how I feel, and that often by treating others with respect and politeness it can lift my mood.
So the most important question you can ask yourself at the end of the day is "What kind of a difference did I make?"
To making a positive difference in the world - BANABU!

Develop Your Intuition
The Road to Intuition
Have you had that experience when all of a sudden you just had this
huge hunch that something is about to happen, and to your surprise,
that "hunch" was eventually translated to reality?
When you feel strongly about something without a logical basis to
that thought, that's called intuition. It comes in three impressions:
clairvoyance or "the third eye", sensing clearly and feeling through
listening.
Clairvoyance is when your eye goes beyond what it can see. This is
when you know what is happening somewhere else.
Sensing clearly is basically what we refer to as "hunch" or "gut
feeling." This is the time when you are overwhelmed with a feeling
and you can't explain it and all you can say is "I just know."
On the other hand, feeling through listening is being able to
"listen" between the lines. Intuition also happens at times when a
certain sound, whatever it is - be it a car's honk or a bird's
twitting - ushers in an intense feeling.
It is claimed that only a number of people are gifted with intuition.
Astrologers even insist that people born under the Scorpio or Pisces
signs are naturally intuitive it almost borders on E.S.P. But studies
have been developing left and right that proclaim that anyone can
develop intuition.
Why the need to develop intuition, you ask? Why not let your
emotional and psychological state remain as it is?
First and foremost, intuition promotes good communication. It makes
you more sensitive to the people around you; it often keeps you from
hurting those you love because you are intuitive enough to understand
them. Intuition also makes you far more creative. Intuition means
releasing more creative juices for any means of expression. Lastly,
intuition has a healing power. This healing power is not in the
physical sense, but in delving deep into your soul to eradicate some
negative energy buried in it.
With that being said, are you ready to develop your intuition? Here
are some ways to unlock this gift:
1. Hypnosis
Hypnosis is not limited to watching a pendulum move back and forth.
You can perform self-hypnosis or you can obtain hypnotic programs
that can strengthen your intuition.
2. Meditation
Meditating means finding peace in yourself. If your mind and heart
are cluttered with too much baggage and hurt, you wouldn't be able to
quiet down that part of you that could eventually initiate intuition.
There are many ways to meditate: take a yoga class, or just simply
practice some breathing that could bring you straight to Zen.
3. Think positive!
A worry-free, fear-free state can do much to improve your intuitive
ability. By staying positive, you attract good energy that would be
able to recognize imminent feelings and events.
4. Just let go.
What does this mean? If you are on the brink of making a huge
decision, let go of all the inhibitions and head to a quiet place
where you could find out where the letting go has brought you.
Sometimes you just have to listen to the voice within you, and that
voice wouldn't come out unless you let go.
5. Never expect.
After letting go of the inhibitions and all those things that stop
you from thinking and feeling clearly, don't expect an answer right
away. Never expect that the "hunch" would fall on your lap
immediately. Give it a little time - then you just get surprised that
-- wham! -- now you have your answer.
6. Believe in your first impressions.
When you see someone for the first time and think that he is a bit
too arrogant for your taste, chances are that impression actually
holds true. Most of the time, first impressions are brought by
intuition.
7. Stay happy!
All you need to be intuitive is to stay happy! Happiness attracts
immense power and such power includes intuition. In tapping your
intuition, your motivation must be happiness and contentment. Given
that premise, intuition will fall to you more easily.
Intuition is helpful, because sometimes it leads you to something
that cannot be achieved otherwise. A lot of lives have been saved by
intuition alone. Decisions are easier when armed with this gift.

Impossible Dream?
"It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today
and the reality of tomorrow."
and the reality of tomorrow."
.
~ Dr. Robert H. Goddard
Many of the things we take for granted today were once thought to be impossible.
Travel to the moon??? Impossible
Travel by air??? Impossible
Travel by horseless carriage??? Impossible
Speak to someone on the other side of the world??? Impossible
Connect with people using wireless technology??? Impossible
What do you want to see happen that people are telling you is "Impossible"? Don't listen! Anything is possible. Start asking yourself the right questions... "How can I?"
If people are shooting down your dream, stop telling them about it. Get rid of the negativity - it's your dream, not theirs. People want to keep the status quo, so they are worried when you try to change it.........change it anyway.
To achieving your impossible dream!!
