Ever heard the saying “the definition of insanity, is to continue doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results.” I have been fortunate to travel to more than 45 countries, hundreds and thousand of people around the globe have heard me speak with passion about this topic. adult live chat Due to my travels and the experiences that I have experienced all over the world it has allowed me to have a different perspective then most of my peers in this great industry of Network Marketing. (A side note there is no book, seminar, cd program, event that will make you grow faster better stronger then when you start to travel for your business outside your state, province country)
What amazes me how many people really do not understand “the definition of insanity” or if they do they do not do anything about it.
By now I can spend fifteen minutes with anybody and tell you what you’ve been up to for the last five years – what you have been thinking, feeling and acting upon. I can look at your bank account, your business, your body, your relationships, your joy or lack of joy and see where you have been focusing your attention because your results are nothing more than a feedback mechanism.
In 1993 I first heard this quote by my business partner Network Marketing legend Dan Catto “You are a mirror image of your consistent thoughts”. Looking back at that time when I first heard Dan share this in a Network Marketing training event it was one of those moments that resonated with me that was the starting point of so much great change in my life.
If you are 5 years later still dealing with the same issues, struggling to grow your business, struggling with your relationships, having challenges growing your personal wealth, the universe is telling you to WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP!!!! Please understand me I am not trying to judge, because this is not what I am trying to do but ultimately for things to change one needs to change from the inside.
Today is a new day for you, today is a day that you can make a commitment to change, don’t wait. When you understand how powerful you are as a human being when a decision is made, and you are totally focused and remain focus watch what happens…
Here are some suggestions that I recommend to start changing and create momentum in your business….
1) Read 1/2 hour a day or list to a self help CD everyday don’t miss a day (Joe’s suggested starting reading list – Science of Getting Rich Wallace Wattles, Power of Subconscious Mind Dr. Joseph Murphy, Consciously creating Circumstances George Winslow Plummer) – What you feed your mind will have a direct influence on what happens in your life.
2) Contact at least 1 – 2 people a day to share the product and business, don’t miss a day…. (by following this think about when you reach 200 people then 300 people how really good you will become in prospecting, improved skill sets become greater awareness which will equal greater results)
3) Make a decision “to go all in” with regards to your business. You will not succeed “trying” anything. Attend all conference calls – webinars, attend all company events and meetings, commit to achieving company promotions. Decide to be a difference maker in your company.
4) Contact your upline leaders daily particularly the successful ones, communicate with them, show them that you are “All IN” (side note – no matter how busy you think your upline leaders are, chase them, contact them consistently, build a relationship with them, if you are hungry to reach your goals use all the resources especially your successful upline leaders, do not be timid. “Timid salespeople have skinny kids” If you are “All in” in your business your Upline Leaders will eventually recognize this)
5) Find and work with a mentor that is presently where you want to be in business and in life (side note – a mentor is critical to achieving your goals, surrounding yourself with a great mentor will speed up your results guaranteed.)
6) Manage your emotions remember what you focus on is what you get. (daily personal development is the key to combating your ups and downs)
7) Visual your main goal that you have already achieved it at least 15 minutes a day, it also helps if it is the last visual memory you have before you go to sleep – imprints into your subconscious mind. (this goal needs to be specific, needs to be written down and take pictures of this goal and place them where you can see it daily)
Create an affirmation for your goal as Bob Proctor in his book “Born Rich” suggests “I am so happy and Grateful that I own my dream home (replace Dream home with your specific goal), thank you God” state it many times a day. Wallace Wattles in the Science of Getting Rich stated “the only reason that you have not achieved your goal is because you have not let the universe know enough times what you want”
9) Subscribe to Network Marketing publications like Networking Times if you are serious about Network Marketing as a career part of being “All in” (point 3) is to continue to educate yourself about the industry. Most professionals in any career that rise to the top in their field this is what they do. For example my family doctor is a very successful physician and highly respected by his peers he subscribes to the New England Journal of Medicine and many other publications to keep abreast of his field. This is the type of philosophy and commitment you need to apply to your career.
Trust me if you do all of the above your results will change forever!
As Dr. Robert Anthony states in his great book “Beyond Positive thinking” Your current level of results is nothing more than a residual outcome of your past thoughts, feelings and actions. This has nothing to do with what you are capable of becoming or who you are capable of becoming unless you continue to make the same choices.

When we feel an intense romantic connection with our partner it is natural to kiss them passionately. We also kiss our special friends and affectionately (or not) give our relatives a peck on the cheek or forehead. There are many different types of kisses all with different meanings and intentions behind them, so be careful that you are not sending the wrong message when you plant that kiss. To help you the following is a guide to some of the different types of kisses and what they mean.
The French kiss – this is the most popular one and it is believed to be called this because at the beginning of the 20th century the French had a reputation for more adventurous and passionate sex practices. It involves parts of the mouth and stimulates the rest of the body. The objective of this particular kiss is the meeting of the two tongues and it means passion. But one should be careful in doing this because it may be a step too far for some and can be a cause of rejection if your partner is the shy type.
The cheek kiss – this is a friendly one and is considered good etiquette on first dates. This is done by placing one’s hands on a partner’s shoulders and brushing the lips across the partner‘s cheek for a short period of time. It is sometimes referred to as the woodpecker kiss because it is just a quick peck on the cheeks..
The polite kiss – this is somewhat similar to the cheek and the woodpecker but coupled with more uncertainty. The questions on one’s mind could be ‘should I kiss her on the cheek or just make a kissing sound next to her ear?’
The forehead kiss – this is a sign of respect and gratitude. We do this mostly to our grandparents and older relatives, giving them a nice kiss on the forehead because we are glad to see them. The person giving it provides comfort to the one receiving it.
The earlobe kiss – this is a playful one. One wants to kiss somebody on the earlobe to initiate something more passionate such as sex. It should lead to something extremely intimate.
The neck kiss – same as the earlobe. This stimulates the one being kissed to go for it and is very sexy and exciting. This means lust and it is more of a ‘I want you kiss’ than a ‘I love you’ kiss.
The closed eyes kiss – this is suitable for people who fancy fantasies. They want to experience romantic fairy tales, perfect for first timers and idealists. It is also looked for by some as a sign that one’s partner is fully focused on them.
The eyelid kiss – this is performed when the partner is sound asleep. It’s like saying I love you without waking the partner up and is a very loving and intimate one.
The hand kiss – this is done by holding the partner’s hands and gently raising it to kiss it. This historically served as an indicator of great admiration and deference to a lady. Although today it is probably usually done in jest.
So it seems a kiss is not just a kiss after all!
One topic that has always caused tensions between men and women is whether it is possible to become more than good friends. This is often the situation when the man would like to advance a friendship with a female friend to one of a sexual or loving relationship. In cases such as this, the female is often more concerned about the possibility of losing a great friend than gaining a lover. Is this because men and women have different priorities when it comes to relationships?
The answer is quite a complex one. In some circles, it is widely believed to be impossible for a male and a female to enjoy a platonic relationship in the same way that same sex friends can. This is because men are often unable to read the signs that a woman is giving, mistaking their genuine warmth and affection as a sign they are interested in taking things further.
As a male, you should think very carefully before acting upon your wish to take the relationship further. Think about how much you value your female friends companionship and how youd feel if you did not have this anymore. The reason you should think about this is because once you describe your true feelings, it is very difficult to go back to how the relationship was beforehand. Metaphorically, you are opening a Pandoras Box; once your feelings are out in the open you can not turn back the clock.
You are essentially asking your female friend to choose between a relationship and nothing. It is very difficult for a female to spend further time with a man if she knows that he is attracted to her in a way she is not to him. She will begin to look back at the relationship and question your motives, were you being a good friend simply because you fancied her? What about some of the things you said or did, will she be able to read more into those actions now that you have told her your feelings. It maybe very difficult to rebuild the level of trust you once enjoyed.
The alternative of course is that the female reciprocates your love. This is very possible and in many ways the perfect situation. A loving relationship born out of trust and friendship is a great starting point, although you may miss out on the whirlwind romance feeling and the exciting getting to know each other stage.
Whatever you decide to do, there is a risk that the friendship enjoyed will never be the same again. Make sure that you are happy to risk this before making your move.
“True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.”
- Charles Caleb Colton
So true. True friendship, they say, is priceless. Ask someone who doesn’t have a single friend and you know how its like being friendless. The void, the loneliness, the inability to share can only be overcome by the oxygen of friendship. Its great joy to be in the company of friends, to share the ecstasies of life with them.

A character bible is the heart and soul of a cartoon series. Without a proper character bible you cannot even get started on talking to anyone about your concept. I have seen many character bibles from producers around the world in the past few years asking for co-production collaborations. I’ve seen really good ones and absolutely dreadful ones. Having received several questions asked regarding what goes into a character bible, I’ve written this entry to give some insight on this topic. Below are the various ingredients that should make up a good character bible.
It is absolutely important to have a synopsis in your character bible. This is the foundation which you build your entire story upon and it should be concise, but not verbose enough such that it can’t be read or explained in 3 minutes or less. Try to make this a one-pager if possible. The shorter you can make this and still keep it interesting, the better.
Include the designs of the most important characters in your character bible. Be sure to spend considerable time to make them look good and ensure that they do justice to your concept. A character bible should be more visual than wordy, showcasing the character designs to its fullest – with various poses and expressions of the main characters. Props – if any – should also be showcased. These are very important to show the potential of the characters should they become animated or licensed for various reasons. People reading the character bible need to be able to feel the characters for who they are and get an idea of the show through these character designs.
Ideally text descriptions of the characters should not be verbose, because not many people would really read through all that text. The character descriptions should outline only the most important characteristics of the characters to keep things short and quick to read. The visuals should pre-sell, and the text do the selling.
It would be good to showcase certain key locations and also provide illustrations or storyboards of how the world of the property looks like.
Fundamentally, it would be good to leave as little guess-work to the perspective partners as possible, so that the brand identity and values of the property is not compromised.
Lastly – for a property that is being primed for animation – you may want to include something called an ‘episodic synopsis’ – which outlines the stories which could happen in an animated series. These are usually done by a ‘script doctor’ – who can also help out in refurbishing the whole story background and character descriptions.
Mob rule is the unfortunate state after which governing institutions have lost power – or Anarchy. After the legitimacy of the former governments has been eradicated by whatever populist or terrorist force, some group or groups then take control by pure force. These groups then disseminate rules of their own to the now-obeying populous, create governing rules within their commanding ranks, and execute plans to maintain or gain control over other competing groups. These groups can be of resistance ideologically, territorial rivals, or purely based on obtaining resources. So it seems that in this process of Anarchy-to-mob rule-to-competing groups, we will have come full circle once again. The state has returned, and after the many years that follow this competition amongst small groups for resources and territory the question then becomes: what is the best way to govern or disseminate resources to those that need them? From there, political science takes shape and more sophisticated groups and systems emerge until they fall into Anarchy once again…
So the point in all of the human nature hoopla mentioned above? – We have never gotten out of Mob Rule and never will…
If the definition of mob rule is the intimidation of the majority or a pure democracy by numbers, than is that not what we have now? As the masses being governed by the few, we have the power at any time to essentially rule as we see fit by any means necessary. And in turn, the legitimate political powers rule necessarily by force in order to keep order and protect all under their laws. Force is the key here. If they rule buy force or coercion as all governments must do in order to maintain their power, how are they any different than the small competing groups that form during a mob rule mentioned earlier?

The beauty of living in the South is that I get to enjoy my garden almost year round. While gardens in the Northeast look a bit sad in the winter. Gardens in the South provide color throughout the year. This is especially true in several local gardens in Charleston South Carolina. There are several former plantations in the area that filled with color from one season to the next.
Magnolia Plantation and Gardens is probably the most visited and is definitely my favorite. Magnolia Plantation dates back to 1670′s with areas of the gardens left in its original state. This of course has granted me a wonderful opportunity to capture beautiful 300 year old English gardens. This along with the historic background makes for a garden photographers dream setting.
There are always challenges for any photographer when taking pictures. Garden photography has its own set of unique challenges. First and foremost for me is lighting and the challenges it presents.
Bright sunny days are great for going to the beach, but not for taking pictures. The best natural lighting you can have is when the sky is overcast. The problem with having bright sunshine is that you get a reflection of the leaves. This causes an issue with you having too much contrast in your raw pictures.
Try and avoid midday sun if possible. You can try and create an area of shade with a blanket or bed cloth. There is one inexpensive method that I like to use and that’s cardboard. If you are able to get the right lighting the next issue is proper angle.
Getting the right angle on the subject you are focusing on is extremely important. You want to look at it from different positions and angles. This way you can eliminate any objects you don’t want in the shot. This can be a pole in the ground or a group of wires that’s used to brace a nearby tree. It could even be a hose or broken branch. Get close to the ground and look at it from that angle. Take a few shots with your camera shooting upright. Moving in closer after each shot and as close as an inch or two.
Use of a tripod can be very useful in low lighting situations that you just created. As well as close up shots. This will allow you to get a steady shot as well. I like to think I have a steady hand, but some shots are a little blurry at times.
Every season brings new life to gardens. Birds and bees in the Spring. Winter rye grass in the Fall. Sunflowers in the Summer. So, the last point that I can share is most important. Explore your surroundings and enjoy what nature has to offer. You’ll never find a subject in the garden that you have to ask to smile or hear complaints from.
I’ve been a Charleston photographer for over 10 years and each and every time I explore the area gardens with my camera at my side. I find something that I didn’t realize was there before. Makes each trip a very unique and rewarding experience.
When women reach a certain age there is one thing that they all have in common, a low sex drive. While most women believe that this is something that only they are dealing with, it is a fact that one in every four females have a low sex drive, which means that it is very common. Then there are women who are suffering from low sex drive due to child-birth and women with low sex drive due to stress. The point is that if you are suffering from a low libido, it is important to know that you are not alone, and that there are female sex drive enhancers to help you.
There are a number of ways for you to get rid of the problem. Most women suffering from this think that they have to live with it for the rest of their lives. This is not the case. On the other hand, a majority of the females suffering from a low libido are too embarrassed to go to a doctor and talk about it.
You have to know that the doctor have dealt with this type of thing before, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Apart from that, if it is the male doctor that you do not want to speak to you have the right to ask for a female doctor and speak to her – but know, there are ways to get over this problem and kick-start your sex life again.
The most common ways to get through this is a cream that gets inserted in your virginal. This cream is made up of a concoction of natural hormones that will help in the relief of a low sex drive. You would usually have to carry on with the treatment for more than 3 months for the effect to be long-lasting. However, most studies show that women using this type of treatment start to see results within the first 3 weeks of treatment.
There are also pills that you can take. The same as the cream treatment, the pills also offers a wide array of hormones that are released into the body over a period of time, with the intention of kick starting the libido.
A lot of people believe that you can get rid of this problem through food, and yes, they are right. With the proper diet you can overcome a low libido, so if you are not looking to go onto any type of hormone regime, you may want to speak to your doctor about a female sex drive enhancers diet.
Since the beginning of the ages we have seen men as the deceiving gender of the human race. They promise you to settle down together and turn their backs on you. But today, there are thousands of women who fear a commitment. Might sound a little sudden, but check out the symptoms below and judge for yourself if you are one of them.
” Once the enthusiasm of first romance has voted for, you get uninterested in the majority of your relationships.
” You have a tendency of dating occupied men they include wedded, occupied with someone else, geologically or sensitively distant.).
” You have an extensive and complicated list of requirements for your perfect companion.

” You go out with more than one man at a time to avoid becoming needy.
” You have a difficult time getting finished with past boyfriends.
After reading this, you might have gone through a major thought process. If you think that the above points match your character map, browse through the points below which will enlighten you and show you a way to progress in a relationship.
Accept Your Hesitation:
It is human nature to bear confused thoughts about the man in your life. But hey, we do need to take chances. If you are living in a dream world that Mr. Perfect will come in a shining amour, wake up! You need to make certain adjustments and compromises for a better start.
Just Do It:
If you are some 85 percent confident about this, take the leap. As they said that you can’t learn to swim unless you jump in the water. The same way, once you dedicate yourself to a commitment, you will surely make positive attempts to make it work out.
Avoid the Tarot Cards:
If you think that tarot cards, palm readers or crystal balls will tell you about your future, you are mistaken yet again. Try taking the decisions in your own hands and handle them well. It is you who will fulfill your own destiny by your own acts.
Quit Being Hypercritical:
Stop being a perfectionist! We know that men at times can be complete control freaks but trying to keep oneself out of this situation. Stop nagging about small faults and avoid looking at small errors. This will keep your mind calm and have a healthy relationship.
Have Space for Yourself:
Everyone needs room for friends and other associations. But make sure you don’t over do this act. After commitment, your first priority is always your family. But that doesn’t mean that you need to be trapped in the walls. In this case, it is importance for you to maintain a proper balance between your family and friends so that neither of them is at loss.
I thought there were only a few other woman who thought like I did, but then I accidentally surfed to Dr. Laura Schlessinger’s website. It is pleasing to know, and so encouraging that I found another woman, and a successful one to boot, who believes that a man should be the watchdog of the household.
I sincerely believe myself to be a freer, happier and more content-filled woman than those who strive so hard to be something they really aren’t. Face it, women weren’t meant to control the world of men, just like men were not meant to wear a bra and pantyhose.
Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing at all wrong with a successful career minded woman, but if it takes away from the obvious responsibilities that a woman was meant to partake in, then it is absolutely not acceptable.
The truth of the matter is these particular women only want to be validated for who they are. But who are they? I don’t even think THEY know who they are! They must define them self through a means that makes them FEEL better. Their resentment towards men makes them feel better when they are behaving like men in high heels.
All of this unnecessary hoopla stems from the emotional imbalance of the spiritual self. Unfortunately, while these women strive to be the TOTAL woman, their particular issues and causes go against the desire of the Creator, and their spirit stays out of whack and out of tune with the normal responsibilities inherited within them from when they were created.
For some reason when they achieve the things that go against their very nature of womanhood is when they feel validation? In retrospect all of this originates from HOW THEY FEEL AS WOMEN.
These women validate each other through wrong thinking. They don’t understand that their own negative feelings towards being a woman actually control the real woman they can become. They are wasting their potential as women, and because of that, loving, caring husbands, and children are suffering because of it!
The real issue here is when a woman tries to define her being (soul) through the act of abortion or the act of leadership and power, she is actually in rebellion to God when her spirit should be tending to the necessities of family, home, and life.
In all reality, it is not in a woman’s true nature to lord over men. I don’t understand why some of these women can’t see where the milk comes from. Women are leaders in their own right! They are selected in doing what they do best, nurturing babies, bringing up loving and respectful children, and supporting their husbands.
There is no family without the woman. The woman is the main link of the family. She is the linkage that keeps it all together, and flowing smoothly. She is the nurturer and lover. She is the one who brings peace and comfort into the home.
It is not degrading to be a woman; it is degrading trying to be a man in high heels!
So this brings me to the married woman? Where does she fit in to all of this? Well, a married woman certainly can’t do a very good job taking care of her home and family if she is out trying to conquer the world of men. Right?
As we all know, the bible says the wife should submit to her husband’s spiritual counsel and the husband should love the wife? What does it mean?
The husband should love is wife so he can offer his spiritual authority properly. If a man doesn’t love his wife, then he probably can’t give acceptable spiritual counsel, wouldn’t you agree?
If the husband loves his wife, then he is going to make sure that nothing harms her. He will protect her as much as he possibly can. He might not want her to drive at night by herself in the car. He might not want her to wear a skimpy bikini to the beach when he is not with her. He might not want her to spend time with friends who really aren’t friends, but are bad influences. He might not want her to work outside of the home, because he feels that it is his job to bring home the bacon.
Do you think that submitting to your husband makes you inferior to him, and not in control of your womanhood? Well it is not true. When a woman allows her Christ-honoring husband to lead the household she is putting her faith in God, and respecting the role of her husband as well. That is real validation!
When a husband orders that his wife submit to him, then it’s not true submission. Taking advantage of scripture and using it out of context as a mere tool for intimidating and hurting your wife is wrong and leads to resentment. There is no application in this instance.
But this is precisely why God says that a husband should love his wife like Christ does the church! A Christ-honoring man IS a man who loves his wife, and he will not take advantage of his leadership role. Likewise, a Christ-honoring wife will not try to undermine her husband’s leadership role. It’s really that simple.
Men, love your wives, and ladies submit to your man!
Come on ladies, giving in to the authority of your husband doesn’t mean you have lost your rights as a woman or individuality. It doesn’t mean that you are not independent minded enough to think on your own and have your own opinions either. It means you love and respect your husband for being a man!
Submission is being respectful. Just as the wife submits to her husband so should the husband to the Lord.
Let’s look at it another way and pretend that this scripture was never written.
There is only one captain to every ship and with that ship there is only one first mate. The captain needs his first mate, she is the one who reads the navigational charts and brings out the sails and brings in the lines. She is there for him when storms come and waves are washing up onto the deck. She cooks for him to bring him energy during the storm because while she is sleeping, he is still steering the ship through the storm to safety.
The husband is the helmsman and the wife is the first mate. What a wonderful relationship. The first mate is a supportive, caring, and helpful beyond belief. Without the first mate to lend a hand in times of need and decision-making, the ship would sink.
The first mate needs the captain for without a captain to steer the ship, there would be no destination-no purpose to why you were together in the first place.
If both the captain and the first mate try and take the helm and lead the ship to separate shores, the ship ends up adrift because both are steering in separate directions.
So ladies, when we rebel against our husband’s divine authority, we are actually rebelling against the will of God.
The bottom line, someone has to be the head of the family, and in nature, history and scripture this has always been the male. God gives him this position not of demanding ruler-ship, but of responsibility and honor.
So men, love your wives with the WISDOM God gave you and she will submit out of her enduring love for you!
