You have Gifts Which are Multitudinous and Magnificent

I received a little note from Neale Donald Walsch - in his daily inspiration email. He tells us that we have gifts which are “multitudinous and magnificent” to share with the world. This reminds me of lessons I learned long ago. We are experiencing what we are right at this moment in time to gain experience, compassion, understanding, wonder, love and awe. We need this wisdom and this insight to go forward and share honestly with others so we may help them.

I grew up in a dysfunctional, abusive, alcoholic home. But I knew as a little girl that things would get better, that God was protecting me, and that I would survive to go on and help many more people. I have been able to use the lessons I learned in that home and many more as well to be a friend and sometimes a counselor to others in need.

Let your light shine! Share who you are. Give a friend a listening ear. Take the risks you are afraid to take to grow. You are worth it and the world needs what you have.

My top 15 books that have given me my philosophy on life

Since I posted my top 10 books about network marketing and saIes I thought I would give you my top 15 books that have had an influence on my philosophy.

Everything we read, listen to and watch has an influence on our life. I believe that Thoughts are Things. Choose carefully what you put into your mind.

I couldn't keep it to 10, so here are my top 15.

1. THE FOUR AGREEMENTS by Don Miguel Ruiz. A simple philosophy that can change our world if we let it.

2. SUCCESS THROUGH A POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE by Napoleon Hill and W. Clement Stone. The first book I ever read about positive thinking and the power of our thoughts.

3. I DARE YOU by William Danforth. Originally published in 1942 and privately printed for his employees and friends, still relevant today. His American Youth Foundation is still distributing copies and challenging youth today.

4. THE CHOICE by Og Mandino. It's hard to choose only one of Og's books. Every one is great.

5. THE LOST CHOICE by Andy Andrews. Every choice we make counts and every choice has the power to change lives.

6. BEYOND POSITIVE THINKING by Dr.Robert Anthony. I read this book 3 times in 2005. It is a no nonsense formula for focusing our attention and thoughts.

7. REINVENTING YOURSELF by Steve Chandler. 100 ways to motivate yourself. Are you an owner or a victim? Find out.

8. THE DARK SIDE OF THE LIGHT CHASERS by Debbie Ford. Reclaim your power and your dreams.

9. THE HIDDEN MESSAGES IN WATER by Masaru Emoto. This made the invisible web that connects all things more amazing than ever to me.

10. THE POWER OF NOW by Eckhart Tolle. We all tend to live in the past and the future, but there is amazing power in being present in each moment.

11. THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE by Stephen R. Covey. A classic.

12. THE POWER OF ENCOURAGEMENT by Dr. David Jeremiah. Do you want to see massive changes in those around you? Then read this and discover exactly what the title says.

13. PASSIONATE PRESENCE by Catherine Ingram. It taught me the acceptance of my own inner knowing of spirituality.

14. THE FIVE THINGS WE CANNOT CHANGE by David Richo. We find happiness by embracing the 5 inevitable things in life: Everything changes and ends, Things do not always go according to plan, Life is not always fair, Pain is a part of life, and People are not loving and loyal all the time.

15. LEVERAGING THE UNIVERSE AND ENGAGING THE MAGIC by Mike Dooley. A kind of fun way to get the essence of a benevolent and loving universe.

Hope you find some of this interesting and helpful. They all had an influence on me.

My Top 10 books on Sales and Network Marketing

One of my mentors asked us to send in a list of our top 10 books for sales and/or network marketing.  Here are mine:

1.  THE GREATEST SALESMAN IN THE WORLD by Og Mandino.  This was the first book I read that spoke to me about "thoughts are things" when I was in my 20's.  Actually anything by Og  is fantastic.

2.  THINK AND GROW RICH by Napoleon Hill.  I have studied this book twice before, but I never really studied it to the point that I "got it."  This time with my Mental Cleanse mastermind group it is really getting deeper.  Read this again and again.

3.  BEYOND POSITIVE THINKING by Dr. Robert Anthony.  This was the first book that gave me a framework for affirmations and mental practices.  This is worth really studying.

4.  THE FOUR SPIRITUAL LAWS by Don Miguel Ruiz.  This really gave me a look into my thinking and the basics of spirituality.

5.  THE FIELD by Lynne McTaggart.  I started to have some questions about the legitimacy of this whole "thinking" thing and I found this book which goes into the history of quantum mechanics and how our thinking affects our reality.

6.  THE GREATEST NETWORKER IN THE WORLD by John Milton Fogg.  After having been in and out of 5 or 6 MLM companies which used the old hard-sell methods I found a copy of this book and it dramatically changed my view of network marketing.

7.  SPIRITUAL ECONOMICS by Eric Butterworth.  A great book on money and spirituality.  It fixed by thinking on abundance.

8.  TWELVE PILLARS by Jim Rohn and Chris Widener.  A cute story that has a lot of good lessons.   I liked it so much I gave a copy to everyone I knew a couple of years ago.

9.  SUCCESS IN 10 STEPS by Michael Dlouhy.  This one changed my life and helped me to understand why I was not making it in the company I had given the last 5 years to.  It let me forgive myself for my failure there.

10.  THE 21 IRREFUTABLE LAWS OF LEADERSHIP by John Maxwell.  My favorite among quite a few great books by this author.   One of the best books I have found on the character of leadership.
