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.

There are some faults which bear witness to a good character more clearly than some virtues. Cardinal de Retz

Beauty is like a glass that will burn, though it has no heat in itself. Anon

Politicians neither love nore hate. Interest, not sentiment, directs them. Lord Chesterfield

There is much of mankind that a man can learn only from himself. Walter Bagehot

How often could things be remedied by a word. How often is it left unspoken. Norman Douglas

How often we should stop in the pursuit of folly, if it were not for the difficulties that continually beckon us onwards. Sir Arthur Helps

Those who are slow to know suppose that slowness is the essence of knowledge. Nietzsche

Sometimes an admirer spends more talent extolling a work than the author did in creating it. Jean Rostand

One of the pleasures of reading old letters is the knowledge that they need no answer. Byron

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 . . .

Stress management is one of the curses of our age
cannot make a decision or even turn the page
to see the problem that besets us
unclear, confused, anxious, we can easily remain thus

I wish I had a little confidence
self acceptance, a little awareness
clarity, intuition, and personal perception
to see the future, nay the present in full technical color vision

All I need is a bit of control
discipline I do find a little bit droll
some excitement that is what I crave
lots of fun, experience between now and the grave

What a feeling just inside
why from it do I try to hide
why not experience all there is to be had
find yourself within or always remain a bit sad

I should contribute
of that there can be no dispute
giving excels over receiving
though I have both there can be no deceiving
giving fully of myself is a part of me
the benefits are really so easy to see . . .

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.

Are you conscious of what you do?

How aware are you?

What do you understand?

How perceptive are you?

What do your instincts tell you - or are they turned off each day?

What do your senses tell you - or do you not believe a word of it?

How alert are you or do you never rise from your slumbers?

How energized with life are you or do feel flat most of the time?

Is the inner world of interest to you or is it all the bright lights and glitter, celebrity and fame of the outer world that is the big lure?

Do you find contentment boring and would rather chase a false dawn of emotions, complexities, sensations and confusions?

Are you conscious of what you do?

Where is your focus in life?

What do you apply yourself to?

Sure you have a job and other responsibilities - family, bills, and so on.

But where are you focused?

Just on things on the outside or is there some 'focus on the inner life' time, too in your life?

Where are your foundations in life and how solid are they?

Upon what values or principles do you make the big decisions in your life?

What in you makes other people trust and have faith in you?

Are you conscious of what you do?

Be more aware of what you do. And why you do it.

Be more accepting of yourself. Be more respectful of yourself.

Explore your inner being.

Be a human being - not just a highly sophisticated creature doing things. But be a human being.

Be in the moment. Be in the here and now.

Find life for yourself in the here and now.

And let the here and now bathe you in its simplicity and genuineness.

And let yourself go. Feel free.

Be conscious of what you do and how you do it. Your motives. Your reasons. Your goals. Your dreams.

Let life be for you.

The stillness and the tranquility can then be yours. Savor each moment.

Hope you enjoyed it and found it beneficial. Be inspired to become more in 2011. Make the most of every moment you have. Martin

What do you think? Let me know by sending me your feedback using this link. July 2011 Contents

Ever wanted your own website or your own business, but always wondered how?

Have you ever wanted your own business? But no previous experience . . . Have you every wanted your own website? But no previous experience . . .

And you thought you could NOT afford it - but now you can! At only $29.99 a month you can do it.

Look at your own life and what you can do - and your website is in their somewhere - just waiting to get out.

You can realize your own dreams.

You can fulfill your dreams.

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 August 2011.

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 do so.

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.
