Relationships Are Everything!

                                                                                                                                                  
 Striving to be always in joy, we must eventually see that the path and goal are one and the same.

All our successes depend upon our associations with others because every one of our accomplishments, be it inventing, climbing a mountain, winning a gold medal or raising a family, requires the active support of others. Over the next weeks you will come to understand how to attract the friends and supporters you want into your life through a natural method that makes it easy. Sales people will especially benefit from this information because, though they commonly know a great deal about their products, they often know very little about relationship mastery or how their customers think and make decisions. This process of developing more successful relationships is simple; you need only read each weekly message, apply it to your daily life; and watch the magic happen.

This powerful system for perfecting relationships is called ARAS, pronounced, “air-us” which is an acronym standing for Acceptance, Respect, Affection and Support. As our relationships at home, at work and at play are renewed and refreshed through this process, we may discover happiness not felt since childhood.  (You will find a full chapter and description of ARAS in my new book Romancing The Soul, Your Personal Guide to Living Free, available at: http://www.amazon.com/Romancing-Personal-Guide-Living-Hardcover.)

Next week we’ll discuss Acceptance, the first step in ARAS and I promise some surprises for you.

A bit of humor for you:
On the first day of school a kindergarten teacher
told her class: "Now, if anyone has to go to the bathroom, just hold
up two fingers."
A little voice from the back of the room asked,
"How will that help?"

Our Hero of the Week:
5 year-old Noah How’s young body was overwhelmed by a cancer with a very small survival rate: Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. Regardless of the statistics, from day-one Noah demonstrated amazing willpower for one so young. He knew he was in a battle for his life yet he would not surrender; he continuously recited his mantra and visualized himself as a healthy, normal boy. Whether in agony from surgeries, or violently ill from treatments, he stubbornly held his hope and his vision. He refused to surrender even when, after more than a year of hospitalizations and multiple treatments, the cancer metastasized and spread, at which point his doctors said they had finally exhausted all their means. But Noah was not finished; he redoubled his efforts and fought on. In the end Noah’s determination and his commitment to life was simply greater than the cancer; the tumors gradually shrank away. Noah is now 8 years old, cancer-free and living exactly as the normal boy he envisioned. Wouldn’t it be great if we let Noah How’s example of clarity, courage and confidence encourage us to stay committed to, and focused on, our own visions, even when others can’t see them?
