Self Confidence Formula

Self-Confidence Formula

FIRST:  I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my definite purpose in life; therefore, I demand of myself persistent, continuous action toward its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action.

SECOND:  I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward, physical action, and gradually transform themselves into physical reality; therefore, I will concentrate my thoughts for thirty minutes daily, upon the task of thinking of the person I intent to become, thereby creating in my mind a clear mental picture.

THIRD:  I know through the principle of autosuggestion, any desire that I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of attaining the object back of it; therefore, I will devote ten minutes daily to demanding of myself the development of self-confidence.

FOURTH:  I have clearly written down a description of my definite chief aim in life, and I will never stop trying, until I shall have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.

FIFTH:  I fully realize that no wealth or position can long endure, unless built upon truth and justice; therefore, I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects.  I will succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use, and the cooperation of other people.  I will induce others to serve me, because of my willingness to serve others.  I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success.  I will cause others to believe in me, because I will believe in them, and in myself.  I will sign my name to this formula, commit it to memory, and repeat it aloud once a day with full faith that it will gradually influence my thoughts and actions so that I will become a self-reliant, and successful person.

“If you think you are beaten, you are,

If you think you dare not, you don’t.

If you like to win, but you think you can’t,

It is almost certain you won’t.

“If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,

For out in the world we find,

Success begins with a fellow’s will—

It’s all in the state of mind.

“If you think you are outclassed you are,

You’ve got to think high to rise,

You’ve got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize.

“Life’s battles don’t always go

To the stronger or faster man,

But soon or late the man who wins

Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!!

Shoeboxes of photos

Our Lives are a Collection of Stories-
.
 Our lives are a collection of stories – A library of our own books

– Nathaniel Carson

I have a shoebox full of old photographs in my closet, photographs of my parents in their youth and of their parents in the early part of the century. I know who they are, as my mother had me write all of the names on the back of the photos when she passed them to me. My favorite photograph is a picture of my grandmother and her sister standing in front of the family fishing boat. I imagine that my grandmother could tell me a wonderful story about that photograph, about her relationship with her sister and about life growing up in a fishing village… but unfortunately, I won’t hear that story. My grandmother passed away when I was 13. Most of her stories were never written down……. And now that so much time has passed,  who really remembers them? If I don’t know them, how will my children?
Our family stories are so precious to us, yet we do almost nothing to preserve them. We pass down those old photographs, but do we really know the stories behind them? Now that we have digital cameras, we take hundreds of photos, only to keep them in the digital graveyard we call a hard drive.
At one time, family stories would be passed down while sitting at the dinner table or while doing the dishes. Families took the time to really talk to each other…… they took the time to reminisce. Now we find ourselves working overtime, playing taxi, and generally rushing through the day.
It isn’t until something tragic happens that we stop and really think about those we love. .. and we never stop to think that other people feel the same way about us… Think about it… do you realize that how much love you feel for your parents is the same way your children feel about you? That is powerful. THAT is what life is about. It isn’t about red sweater you are buying your dad for Christmas. It is not about the new Ipod  your teenager wants….. it is about connecting with your family and loved ones. You do that through story…….
By sharing stories, you strengthen your family roots, you givse a sence of belonging. You share the love that you feel towards each other, you remember…..
Although, it would be wonderful to have a life story of your parents and other family members……. Those are not the only stories that need to be preserved….. Your life story, your love story, the birth of a child, the winning homerun your child hit, your first car, your first kiss……. They are all so very important.
This is why I do what I do. I am a Heritage Maker. I help strengthen families. I help people preserve their past to remember in the future. I have seen first hand how stories bring families together. 

•       The power of story is a gift. When an elderly woman writes her story and 23 copies are purchased by her family……………….

•       Can you just imagine the love she feels?

•       When an expectant mom writes a story to her yet to be born daughter………………..

•       Can you even imagine how that daughter will feel when she reads it??

•       Or a wife, who after 60 years of marriage starts her story with the words….

•       “The most amazing love story”?

How about the child who sees themselves in a book and now remembers the stories of baking cookies?
While I was working with a client on his life story, he called his son. He did not have a strong relationship with his son, and hadn’t for the past 30 years. He asked his son about some pictures that he had come across…….. soon they were reminiscing. This client even spoke with his daughter in law for an hour on the phone.. Someone whom he had only brief conversations with… This started two months before Christmas last year. Three days after Christmas, his son suffered a major heart attack. My client received a phone call that day. He is convinced that if it wasn’t for that book he may have never received a call.
Even Oprah believes that every story deserves a book of its own. She should know. She has her own Heritage Makers Storybook. In fact, she loves our product so much, we are now featured as one of her “all time favorites”. Her subscribers started receiving their O magazines yesterday. When you get yours…… look to page 93.
As a Heritage Maker, I am here to help you every step of the way. I can get all of your photos scanned, show you how to use our online system, custom design your storybooks or even interview you or your loved one to preserve a life story.
I will be here late after the meetings today to help you all get started on preserving your family stories.

Guilty as charged.

My twins started school a couple weeks ago. As a proud Mama, I of course took my camera along to take photos. One of my girls was so embarrassed she took to covering her face. You would think that she would be used to being blinded by flash going off. :D


Anyway....


I was talking to my Aunt just a few days ago and she was complaining that I didn't send her printed pictures anymore. I have to admit that I don't.  I take tons of pictures, create books, and make beautiful canvases with all of my photos, but I just don't print pictures anymore.


My poor Aunt doesn't even turn on a computer. She doesn't have a cell phone. She doesn't even have a digital camera (the poor thing :D) and she is only 54. All she cares about is putting a new photo on her fridge.


After I hung up the phone I got right onto my HM site and created a card for her.

I made this one as a 7x5 invitation style card. Now, my girls have a place of honor on her fridge.

Sending love

I have always had a problem finding the perfect card to send. It didn't matter weather it was a Christmas card, a Graduation card, or even something to say that I was thinking about someone.


I would spend an hour going through each and every card on the rack getting more frustrated by the minute. I may be super picky, or just maybe, no one can say what I want to say but me.


Ever since Heritage Makers came up with Direct Ship, I no longer have this problem. It has made my life so much easier! 


When my Dad was retiring from his job of 34 years, I was able to tell him how proud of him I was...... In my words, with the types of photos that I wanted to include.


Here are two sides of the card

I was able to sit, create, and send off the card in under 10 mintutes. It also cost me about $2.00. How awesome is that?

Halloween Home Decor

Club HM Inspirations Class, THIS Thursday night! Deck your home with ghostly décor, make trick or treat buckets they’ll cherish or hand out the cutest candy with our tried and true and brand spanking new Halloween projects. To register, go tohttps://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/821417992.

Who needs to hear from you?

Take a few minutes and think. Who needs to hear from me? Who haven't I taken the time to reach out to lately? Who do I miss hearing from?

Sure, texting and emailing are super easy.... but do they make the impact that you are looking for? Do they make the recipient stop for a minute and reflect on you, your relationship, and the mutual love and respect that you share?

How can you go about fixing this? I know driving over to Walmart or Hallmark takes time. You need to fight traffic, spend an hour looking for the right card, and have the priviledge of paying $7 to use someone else's words.

If I could show you how to create your own greeting card from your own home, personalize it with family photos, say what you want to say, mail it out AND spend about $1.50, wouldn't you love me??

Here it is
