Story: "This is Good"

The story is told of a king in Africa who had a close friend with whom he grew up. The friend had a habit of looking at every situation that ever occurred in his life (positive or negative) and remarking, "This is good!"

One day the king and his friend were out on a hunting expedition. The friend would load and prepare the guns for the king. The friend had apparently done something wrong in preparing one of the guns, for after taking the gun from his friend, the king fired it and his thumb was blown off. Examining the situation, the friend remarked as usual, "This is good!"

To which the king replied - "No, this is not good!" and proceeded to send his friend to jail.

About a year later, the king was hunting in an area that he should have known to stay clear of. Cannibals captured him and took him to their village. They tied his hands, stacked some wood, set up a stake and bound him to the stake.

As they came near to set fire to the wood, they noticed that the king was missing a thumb. Being superstitious, they never ate anyone who was less than whole. So untying the king, they sent him on his way.

As he returned home, he was reminded of the event that had taken his thumb and felt remorse for his treatment of his friend. He went immediately to the jail to speak with his friend.

"You were right," he said, "it was good that my thumb was blown off." And he proceeded to tell the friend all that had just happened." And so, I am very sorry for sending you to jail for so long. It was bad for me to do this."

"No," his friend replied, "This is good!"

"What do you mean, 'This is good'? How could it be good that I sent my friend to jail for a year?"

"If I had not been in jail, I would have been with you, and not here with you right now."

In a very unusual way, the message here unfolds into exposing the following principle about life.

"Absolutely everything happens for a purpose; and out of what seems like adversity at the time; always comes good".

I'm sure that if any of us care to reflect back on the tragedy's, the heartaches, the 'bad times' in our lives, that we discover that we have really grown or developed during that period of time:even though the reflection may still cause us discomfort in some way.

It is in this way that we slowly gather experience and wisdom, and even though we may think or feel that it is unfair, that's the way it is.

"This is good". Many of our life's experiences have saved us from some form of cannibals; it's just that we often don't know that they have at the time.

So, for a simple example to help with awareness: next time you may begin to feel you are being 'wronged' by being stuck in a traffic jam, think about the cannibals that could be lurking down the road a bit,but will be gone by the time you get there.

Now that's a bit different, but worth trying: "this is good" - despite the circumstances.

Remember: "What others do or say is their stuff; how we react, or not, is our stuff"!
And: "True Happiness in life isn't having what you want, but wanting what you have"!

10 Ways to Package Your Expertise for Maximum Profits

by Robert Greenshields

If you want to make the most of your expertise, you have to make sure that your income does not depend on how many hours you work.

No matter how high your hourly rate, you can only work a limited number of hours and you can only be in one place at a time.

So, in order to make more profit, you need to find a way to package your expertise so that others will pay for it without you having to be there in person.

How to package your expertise

Once you have decided how best to position your expertise, here are some of the main ways you can package it for maximum profit:

• Write a printed book: Imagine you meet two consultants at a convention. One hands you a business card, the other gives you a signed copy of his book. Which one is likely to win more clients and charge higher fees? There’s no doubt that people who have written books have instant authority status. Yet, with on-demand publishing, it’s now quite easy for anyone to do this.
• Write an ebook: For people not ready to produce a published book, there is a faster option of producing a ebook for sale online as an instant download. Ebooks are very fast to produce and are usually much shorter than printed books. However, because of the instant access – and usually because other bonuses are added to the purchase, the sales price is often much higher.
• Audio and video programs: Technology now makes it very easy to produce an audio or video delivering valuable information, either as a special recording or as a recording of an existing event. These can be quickly packaged and sold at relatively high prices, either as an instant download or by mail using low-cost fulfillment services.
• Membership sites and online courses: Another way of delivering information is through subscription-based membership websites or online courses dealing with a specific topic.
• Advertising revenue: Revenue can also be generated through advertising on a website or blog. Although the income here may be much less than for the other types of product, it can be an attractive source of extra revenue.
• Coaching programs: Books, audio and video typically provide information in a very general way so there is often demand from people for personal advice on how to apply the information to their own situation. This opens the demand for coaching which can be delivered online, by telephone and in person.
• Seminars and workshops: Personal coaching is typically only delivered to one person at a time but seminars and workshops are a method of delivering the same information quickly to a much larger group. While the revenue per head may be lower for this approach, the large numbers of people that can be covered make it very attractive.
• Training programs: Some organizations may want the expertise delivered to larger groups of people in an interactive way through training programs and will pay significant fees to have this done.
• Consultancy: Often people are looking not just for information but they want specific solutions for exactly how they should apply the information to their own situation. This can open up opportunities for very significant fees.
• Franchising to others: If you can structure your expertise so that it is easily turned into a system and taught to others, you have the opportunity to license them to deliver it without your presence, leading to the prospect of licensing fees and other revenue.

You won’t maximize your income just by creating a $50 ebook. But equally running a few high-ticket seminars will not give you the best possible income either.

You probably won’t use all of these techniques but the secret is to find the right mix of different ways of packaging your expertise in multiple ways to deliver maximum profit.

Many of them will work well together. Someone attending one of your seminars may buy a book or audio product and then later return for consultancy or coaching.

The choice of which is appropriate will depend on your personal skills and preferences and the market demand.

Relationship and awareness

Hi my friends. I haven't been updating this blog for I while because I was doing some research to answer a question I received almost a week ago. It was about relationships and why are things happening as they are happening. After this person told me the problem I immediately understood why it is happening, but I couldn't teach that person why it was happening. So I went back to my table and my google.com and my brain listening tightly to my self to find the answer. For about 5 days nothing happened, but then I got the glimpse of the universal intelligence and I started to remember things I just needed to unleash the reason why are things happening the way the where for that person. And that gave me some extra knowledge and understanding and lifted my awareness for another level. As some doctor once said - "You don't understand it if you can't explain it to others..."
You see that person was in love with someone, but the problem was, that she felt like he is using her for her money and had no interest what so ever in her as a person. But she on contrary was in over her head in love with him. I think I must mention, that she is older than he is and so the difference is still big while they are young. So he has like this wild hair - thinks only about how to be cool and/or about him self. But inside he kind of likes that older girl. She holds some kind of fascination about her self. So he is trying to regularly find a reason why to be with her. She on the other hand is just waiting for him to come over at any given time. So what's the problem you might ask. You see they can't be together, because their frequencies don't match.
The only thing, that controls the frequency you are in is thoughts. They match when they think, that they can't get each other and they match when they sit at home and think about each other, but when they meet they firmly believe, that it's not possible for them to be together as where the boy thinks, that the girl is not even interested in him or he doesn't care (because he actually is afraid to loose her). So the result is this pushing back and forth and not getting any end result. Nor bad, nor positive. That is what I call being stuck in your own negative thinking, that is keeping you from what you want to achieve. Isn't that a little dumb? I think every one would agree. But think about this for a moment. If you agree on this, then why are you not a millionaire? You don't want to be? I have never met a person who really wouldn't like to have the money they want...
People tend to criticize everything they don't understand or agree with. Instead of asking and researching why are people acting in a certain way and not make your own mistakes in the same area, we criticize them to build up our self esteem, because it is low. No one who has a high self esteem criticizes any one.
But back to the problem. Now you see, that they both desire to be together in some way. They both put their energy, that matches at the maximum for them not to be able, because they think, they can't be together and they both spend the maximum of their energy for them to be together, because it is what they both want in some way. That brings you at 0 point, that doesn't lead you in any direction. And it is not good, because it tends you to say by to your want and go on living with out it as it is hard to keep wanting, that you don't believe you can get. You see there is a difference between wishing and being ready to receive what you wish for. And the difference is to believe you can acquire it. That is their problem. They are not aware, that they can get whatever they say they want. So they lack the awareness and that's why they can't get together.
The results are dependent only, and I mean every thing in your life, upon your level of your awareness. If you are not aware, that you can and how you can, then you are not able to get it. For example, if you are not aware of how to use your keyboard and your mouse, how do you use a standard PC?
In this example I didn't only show you the awareness thing, but I show you, that everything is already there, you just have to be aware, that the PC is on your desk, and how to use it to get the most out of it. The same thing here, you have to aware, that the other person is there and waiting for you. You have to be aware, that you can acquire anything you truly believe you can get and start getting emotionally evolved with this thought and this fantasy and this person you want and this life style and this feeling it self - what you feel while fantasizing about all the goods you want. In other words you have to keep your self to getting the same emotions what you feel fantasizing about your goals every day, so your vibration will be in the same frequency as are the things you dream about.
So again easy steps for you to practice:

1. Write on a card what you really want
2. Read it as much as possible out loud throw out the day.
3. While reading try to feel these good feelings you feel when you fantasize about the good you want.
4. When you fantasize, try to search for the feeling of already having what you want.
5. Believe you can get it and opportunities will come your way.

Your job is to see the opportunities and act on them. Never lie to your self or to others. Remember lying is killing your dreams and if you don't tell the whole truth - it's lying too.

So keep up the good work and I hope I could help and explain you, that the results you get in your life is only the level of your awareness and that the problems we have we have to solve inside of us and nowhere else. And why are things happening the way they are... :)

Hope to hear from you guys any time soon to answer your next questions. And if you read this blog for the first time, then feel free to send me a question of your own. I will answer it here and don't worry, your name or any other personal information, that could point to you will not be shared what so ever...
