Hello there. I just want to personally thank my fans on Facebook and my followers on Twitter and Google fans for their support. Without you, it wouldn't be possible for me to be successful at anything I do. And so I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. One of the things that I would encourage you to do is to continue to engage in this content by sharing and linking the posts and and videos you upload. Now here's an interesting discovery is your life takes and goes in a different direction. Usually when your mind makes contact with a new idea, we say when your mind collides with a new idea, you go off in a different direction. Many people's lives have been changed by one quote or one piece of advice that just came to them, either in written form or on social media. Somebody sent them a link which contained an observation or a word, and it sent them off in a completely different direction. And by sending these ideas, the ones that you like, to other people, you may change their lives forever. I certainly know that my life has been changed forever by very simple ideas that stayed with me for years. Let me give you an example. I was sitting in Hawaii reading a book on metaphysics and psychology and there was this little one liner. It said, positive ideas or thoughts empower, negative ideas or thoughts disempower or weaken you. And I thought, wow. Because I knew a lot about the subject. But just imagine that positive thinking empowers you, gives you energy, makes you happier, makes makes you more creative and spontaneous and popular. But negative thinking or thinking about something unpleasant in your life disempowers you, makes you weaker, makes you negative, unhappy, and actually feel inferior. Wow. Positive thoughts empower, negative thoughts weaken or disempower. Just a thought like that, an idea like that can really give you a jolt and change your life. And if you have ideas like this or you see them, pass them on to others. My promise to you is to continue to deliver new content such as blogs and videos and special offers for my social media fans. I read about three hours a day. I just came back from Novosibirsk, way out in southern Russia, and my travel time was about 23 hours. During that time I had a pile of books both in my briefcase and on my iPad, and I read and read and took observations and made notes. So I, on a long trip, will sometimes read and learn for 3, 4, 5, 8, 10 hours. What I do is I'm always looking for ideas that I can share. When I see an idea that I think is really neat, I think, how can I share this with other people. So my promise to you is that as long as you keep reading my material, I promise I will keep generating and developing new ideas, better ideas, and searching for ideas all over the world that would help you. And if you have any questions or suggestions on what you would like to see on our social media platforms in the future, please send them in to us because we will use those to guide us to send you more of the ideas that will help you improve the quality of your life.
