On a Lighter Note

Following on from the Lighter Note page on the website I thought I would provide just a few more quotes here each month.

Yield to a man's tastes and he will yield to your interests. Edward Bulwer-Lytton

We read every day, with astonishment, things which we see every day, without surprise. Lord Chesterfield

Some people are different from the rest of us, and so are the rest of us. Clive James

Other people are quite dreadful. The only possible society is oneself. Oscar Wilde

Prose 'n Poetry Corner

Each month I will look through my notebooks and find a little bit of prose 'n poetry. Often written in a few minutes, so please don't expect Wordsworth, but hopefully these entries will provide a little interlude in your day. A chance to think and ponder, to daydream or to visualize, to perhaps see things in a different light.

Please see what you think and let me know if it is useful or not - highlights some valuable points but in a lighter vein . . .

We do like a good rhyme
Just like enjoying eating has its time
It does not make us a chef
Nor of culinary skills make us bereft

What did we do before the mobile phone
We had to use the one at home
Or even venture into the street
In life we learned just to get on with it

How can I make amends for what I have done
I know I've done wrong, I feel so alone
I'm really sorry for affecting you in this way
Please forgive me, my friend, I would like you now to stay

Is our life coming together
Or are we nearing the end of our tether
We sit and seem to remonstrate
When we should our quality of life a bit more rate

Are we waiting for the next milestone
When we should with our life be at one
And put behind me any past misdemeanors
And accept that this life is mine and yours

Main Article

Each month there will be an article, with fresh content, that goes into a subject in a little more detail. Perhaps give a different stance. Perhaps provide food for thought. Perhaps . . .

This month a different theme.

Keep an open mind

We all like to have an open mind. We bandy these terms around but what significance do they really have?

How much do we really understand aboaut our inner friend?

Is it even a friend to us? Is it on our side?

Do we even view our mind in that way? Perhaps we do not consider it at all?

How do we view our mind?

But if we are not careful we will fall prey to the winds of life blowing us this way and that. It has that habit of doing that but we may not have noticed.

We may get lost in our own endeavors and not see the bigger picture.

We may get lost in our dreams and not want to return to reality.

We may seek solace in mind games - meaning the games our mind can play on us (when we think we are playing games on others?!) - rather than seeking enjoyment and satisfaction elsewhere.

So, what do we really want for ourselves?

What is it we are looking for? How open to what may occur are we?

Or do we play at being open and honest, frank and straightforward, but really these are alien states for us?

But does life have to be that way?

Openness and clarity exists. But where can we find it?

We may look around in the outer world and come up short.

We may ponder - where else is there to look? And start to feel uncomfortable and disappointed because there seems no where else to turn.

But a human being in sync with their life, are they not open to life's clarity and other gems that life has to offer them - and us?

Being in harmony with your own rhythms grants you much peace and rest, experience and fulfillment.

And it is not as if we need renounce the outer world. What we do need to do is to explore ourselves within.

Find the peace and satisfaction, sanctity and awareness that lies within a human being. And to come to enjoy that. And to seek that out more and more.

And to live from that place within. The place that nourishes and feeds our spirit, our life.

Seek this with an honest heart and it you will find.

Have an open mind and just see where life may take you. Enjoy the ride!

Hope you enjoyed it and found it beneficial. Be inspired to become more in 2010. Make the most of every moment you have. Martin

News Flash - Write a book in 14 days - find out how here

A man I respect a great deal has just released the most incredible, step-by-step tool I have ever seen on the subject of writing your own book... and getting it done and published while you're still *young enough* to enjoy it!

Steve Manning, a master writer and journalist, has authored what I believe will totally revolutionize the publishing world.

This master writer holds your hand through the entire writing and publishing process!

He has sold literally hundreds of thousands of books and he's arguably the most prolific magazine writer on the continent as well. And when it comes to writing a book, he lays everything out for you.

He leaves nothing to chance... no stone unturned as he takes you step-by-step through the process of:

-Develop "technologies" no one else on the planet has that make your book better than anything on the market

-Unleash the power of your own creativity so you write better than you ever thought possible

-The fastest method of researching on the planet--it has nothing to do with the Internet. One journalist in southern Ontario stated this single strategy was so effective, it was scary!

-S.N.A.P. editing--this single strategy caused a former president of a national editor's association to declare that we had to get this information out to anyone and everyone who was even thinking of writing a book!

-The simple technique that will create any mood imaginable in just seconds. Professional writers struggle for years to learn how to do this. You'll be able to do this in just seconds.

-Step by step instructions for copyright registration. Even the forms are included!

-How to turn your book into a client magnet so it becomes the source of an unending stream of prospective customers.

-How to know exactly when you'll be finished writing your book no matter how much, or how little you want to write each day.

-How to blue-print your book in just hours so you instantly know exactly what will be in your book and where it will be. You will never write even one sentence that isn't used in your book.

Steve is the kind of person who raises his prices frequently because of demand.... but I practically begged him to keep the price down long enough to let me send you this email so you can check it out.

If you have the least bit of interest in writing your own, highly profitable book and all the prestige and accomplishment that goes with being a 'best selling' author... you owe it to yourself to get more FREE information.

I don't want you to miss out on this spectacular opportunity to not only create your own book as quickly as 14 days from now... but to take advantage of the tremendous price savings as well.

If you get this new information kit, 14 days from today you can brag to your friends that you wrote one of your own---and show them the money you made, too! For heaven's sake, AT LEAST go look at the FREE details! Just Click Here

P.P.S. - Remember, this package has unbelievable information and bonuses that will simply knock your socks off.... don't delay in taking a closer look!

Until the next edition of 'Balance in Life'

So, that is all for this month - doesn't time fly! Another year is racing away with us.

Again it has been a real pleasure spending time with you. I look forward to meeting up with you next month, at the beginning of January 2011 - wow! the beginning of yet another year!

Many thanks to all of you who have been reading these ezines over the months. And for your good wishes, comments and suggestions.

In the meantime make the most of your life. Enjoy your days. And if you want to contact me about anything pertaining to self esteem and life then you know where to find me.

May I just wish you all every success and hope that you find enjoyment, satisfaction and fulfillment in your life in the coming days and years.
