Do you remember that Pink Floyd song called Time on that wonderful Album Dark Side of the Moon? Gawd I’m giving away my age here! Well yeah I’m 44 and I love it. I don’t wanna be 16 again. But I’m wandering off the point again

I realise more and more each day that time is most valuable asset- because time is all you’ve got if you haven’t got time you’ve got nothing. When your time has run out- you’re dead and that’s it. Maybe there is a life after death but what about now? This time, this moment. Time is ticking away, read the Pink Floyd lyrics with my comments.

Time by Pink Floyd from the Album Dark Side of the Moon
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day,
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
- are you guilty of this?
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town.
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way - no you aren’t are you? cos if you are I feel sorry for you- wake up now!

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today - don’t kill time today, live it, savor it enjoy it and make the most of it. Take action on doing something.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you- Uuooh uuh this is whereI see panic set in people trying to “make it” financially because panic about money has struck them, never mind things like not having lived to your full potential. Scary!
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
- Well not to late, I believe in that saying today is the first day of the rest of your life.

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d have something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Yeah treasure your time, use it wisely. Teach your kids  time being an assest. I won’t tolerate boredness. There is yourself to discover, a world to befriend,  piles of abundance to gather and love galore – just waiting. Do it now. Write that book, sing that song. Do it. Make the time.

And you know what I think is great?

Seeing a Pink Floyd performance. It’s wonderful to see aged men still playing electric guitar – men that have lived doing what they love and are still doing it. Now how many people can say they do what they love? No excuses please.

And if you don’t know who Pink Floyd are or don’t own an album then now’s the time to investigate. Pink Floyd is timeless. My pubertising 13 year olds even appreciate them.

Do you see yourself here?

Most people procrastinate or put off doing these things – do you?

  • Exercising

  • Eating healthy

  • Organizing home and work areas

  • Household cleaning

  • Medical appointments

  • Event planning details

  • Paying traffic fines

  • Preparing a will or other estate planning

  • Keeping up with reading related to work

  • Giving other people bad news

  • Writing letters/emails

  • Signing up for things in time to get “early bird” price breaks

  • Investing/saving for the future

  • Sending in rebates

  • Returning library books/ rented movies/ other borrowed items

  • Making phone calls/ Returning phone calls

  • Travel related tasks

  • Shopping for gifts

  • Automotive repairs

  • Home repairs

  • Paying monthly bills

  • Studying/ doing homework

 The payment of procrastination

Check out those above items and figure out what you’re paying by procrastinating.There are emotional costs. Health costs. Relationship costs. Financial costs. Time costs. Self-image costs.

Seriously look at what you’re paying long term by not doing what you should be doing.

If you are truthful, you’ll know that your proocrastination could be taking from 5 years to as many as 40 years off your life.

That is because people who put off living a healthy lifestyle and who are petrified of doctors are today dying of cancers, heart disease and other maladies in their 40’s, 30’s and younger… all senselessly.

You probably also acknowledged that your career and finances have suffered. Because if you are not a true do-it-now person, your employer or your prospective customers aren’t throwing money at your feet. And if you’ve put off investing for the future, you’ve lost a whole lot of compound interest… thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands or more.

If you are a procrastinator, and you are really up front with yourself, you know now that your relationships have suffered. You don’t have as many friends as you’d like. Because when you procrastinate doing things that affect others (and almost everything you do affects other people in one way or another), there is a loss of trust and closeness.

So the procrastinating habit puts a negative mark on your character.

It negatively affects your self-image.

Procrastination is a mental blocker, it means your subconsciuos mind and conscious mind aren’t in agreement about what should be done.

It’s not the end of the world because you can change it quite simply by reprogramming that rebellios part of you.

I’m not the most focused person on the planet. In fact somes I battle to stay focused. Take small things like Twitter or Facebook. Excellent tools that can be used for marketing, or even blogging. Then why is it so darn difficult to stay focused doing simple things like blogging?

I’m using only myself as an example here. I love writing. I jot down things all the time. Now if I were to type these notes into my blog they’d probabally make for interesting reading. And i dare say that they may even help some individuals have an AHA moment if you know what I mean.

I reckon my biggest blocker is fear. I can’t quite pinpoint the exact fear. Is it the fear of failing, or the fear of coming across like an idiot?

Perhaps I should just stop comparing my creative dribblings to what others do. Some blogs are so well written and informative. Whose to say that mine isn’t, hey? maybe it’s an inferiority complex.

I’ve discovered though that the main thing to staying on target is to get a clear vision of what you want and keep refining that vision until it just feels so perfect that you can’t but help to follow through.

Myself I’ve been blogging on and off for 2 years now. Sometimes in a burst of inspiration I’ll do it regurlary for 2 weeks and then those 2 weeks fade into 2 months. This is not good, these habits need to be dissolved.

I’ve always known that there is a fortune to be made in the internet- okay let’s get real, at least a decent income. An income that can be earned from home. I’ve read all the e-books, joined the membership sites of list building, traffic generating and bla, bla…..

Now it’s about doing it. Just getting a laser sharp focus and DOING it. Just do it.

How does your focus rate?

Some times we loose focus because our vision is not quite on target with what we really want so our subconscious mind keeps us from getting what we want till we hit on the right vision.  (I read all this stuff whilst searching for my blockers).

The same principle thats behind procrastination – loosing focus is a form of procrastination. It’s a thing that stops you from going out and striking your target. You know you should be doing something to hit on the target but you don’t. Then you miss your target and you land up feeling like a failure berating your self.

I discovered an amazing e-book by Stuart Lichtman.

The book it’s self has a title which at first came across as kind of cheesy. But I’m so glad that this didn’t hold me back from reading further.

When I began reading testimonials from my favorite mentors I knew I was onto some thing.

In fact I could hardly contain my excitement.  I was happy to pay the price of $79,50

 Here’s what Jim Edwards has to say:

“Stuart’s technique imprinted my goal indelibly on my subconscious mind. I don’t think about it, but it’s always there. Everything I’m doing is measured by whether or not I’m moving toward or against my goal. If I’m not doing something moving me towards my goal, my subconscious gets me back on course.

“This is truly a breakthrough for me personally. I am 100% certain I will achieve a bigger financial goal in a shorter time frame than I would have ever thought possible before I learned this technique.

The only negative about this method is, it’s so straightforward, some people may actually discount its power!”

I’ll explain it to you as best as I can.

Basically Stuart asks you to keep writing your vision and editing till it feels just perfect – like part of your life. It’s like getting in touch with yourself.

Like having a warm shower in the morning – I love my showers. I hope you get the drift of what I’m getting across.

It’s a long process, not just some little exercise you can do in 15 minutes. You have to put time aside for this to be able to do it properly. Wait for your kids to go to school before you start.

The e-book comes with audios which literally walk you through the process, but as I said make time.

Aaah, that cheesy title:

How to Get Lots of Money for Anything Fast

Here’s what Jack Canfield has to say:

“I strongly recommend this book. It contains keys to success that will guide you past obstacles you thought were insurmountable. I’ve known Stuart Lichtman a long time; his material gets people results. If you have big goals and you’re looking for that one ‘missing piece’ to help you achieve them, read this book and put its solid ideas to work for you.”

Doing research in google trends I noticed that people are looking for information on how to get sexy. It got me questioning what exactly did they want to know about it. They could be keeping watch for how to get sexy legs, hair, figure, teeth looking out on how to get sexy attitude in general.

I decided to first research the word sex in the dictionary. Seriously I never looked up that word before -I always took it for granted that the word meant coitus but I found out the following:
The dictionary describes the word sex as a noun and it means :
-either the male or female division of a species, esp. as differentiated with reference to the reproductive functions.
- the sum of the structural and functional differences by which the male and female are distinguished, or the phenomena or behavior dependent on these differences.
- the instinct or attraction drawing one sex toward another, or its manifestation in life and conduct.
The word Coitus is listed underneath the above phrases with a link to the explanation of the coitus word.

Then I examined the word sexy.
And found this – sex-y – adjective, sex – i – er, sex – i – est

  1. concerned predominantly or excessively with sex; risqué: a sexy novel.
  2. sexually interesting or exciting; radiating sexuality: the sexiest professor on campus.
  3. excitingly appealing; glamorous: a sexy new car.

I’m assuming then that folks are wanting to establish how to get sexy so they come across as excitingly appealing to other people. Let’s get honest here people that are excitingly appealing to other people do have more success in life.

But what makes is a person sexy then?

Magazines are full of ideas on how to get sexy.

An example is that womens magazines claim that a mane of long hair is sexy for men and mens magazines suggest that a six pack is sexy for women.

I like to believe I’m a worldly woman so from my point of view more brawn than brains won’t cut it for me.

Let’s take Richard Branson as an example – he doesn’t have a six pack, but he sure isn’t physically ugly. I love what Ivana Trump said about him, “Richard is good looking and very smart, which is sexy to start with. He also makes a billion dollars before breakfast. And still knows how to have fun”. Having had the privilege and honour of working with Sir Richard Branson on his virgin money launch in South Africa I agree whole heartedly with her.

My personal recommendations on how to get sexy: (Opinions vary but I will consider you sexy if you can master these tips!)

- Cultivate your personality.
- Develop a sense of humour.
- Dress so that your individual style shines out – sexy does not mean sleazy.
- Get rich – forget what you were taught. Just to make it clear I would like to mention that some people have the idea that being poor is what God wants. This is wrong . In the Bible it says “Thou shalt not love money more than God”. Once you realise that money is merely a means of exchange and does not smell either bad or good you are on the way to becoming sexy..
- Get healthy – excuse the cliché but your body is the house of your soul.
- Stop whining – it brings every body down.
- Quit cigarettes – yuck, they stink. The smell of old ashtray clings even more too expensive after shave and perfume.
- Stay sober – Being drunk is no excuse for getting sexy and doing something that’s regrettable in the morning.
- Be a friend, Zig Ziglar, one of America’s leading coaches in the personal development industry is quoted to have said “If you go looking for a friend, you’re going to find they’re very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you’ll find them everywhere”.
- Get a grip on your thoughts: whether you believe it or not your thoughts make you into the person you are. Thoughts become words and words become your character.
- Think before you speak. Regardless how sexy someone appears to be – if the lingo shocks you all sex appeal is gone instantaneously.
- Walk your talk

How to get sexy is easy when you know who you are and what you want.

“When somebody gives you a sexy look, you know they’re trying. It’s terrible! But when you smile, it’s so much sexier!” Joseph Addison

Think Right Now! programmes helped me get the sexy attitude!



Today I’m discovering great things by Abraham!

I truly appreciate this source of knowledge on the Law of Attraction. It makes sense and is spoken in modern day English. There odf course other wonderful people who make great teachers, some of them dead like Jesus, Wallace Wattles & Charles Haanel.

I’m finding that the more I get into this stuff I’m remebering information I seemed to know as a kid. Adult hood seems to have removed it.

As you’ll see Abraham explain in this video that we are really the source of every thing we experience. I remeber reading that in The Master key by Charles haanel as well.

Watch this and get a clear understanding of what’s going on.

Ever heard about the movie “The Secret”?

You know the one by Ronda Byrne, which has people explaining that we creat our own reality and that we can have what ever we want. It’s a run away hit movie. The hype about it has slowed down at this stage. But still I liked the orginal movie with Abraham in it. The 2nd release just doesn’t have any power in it for me.

Here’s an interesting clip.

I think Mr. Bean is hilarious.

He makes me laugh and laugh. Laughing is good for you. It just feels so freeing to laugh. It’s true that most people laugh too little.

I know I laugh too little. I take myself far too serious.

How about you?

Watch Mr. Bean do the Mr. Beanbastic to the sound of Mr. Bombastic.

[youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYcYA8d0qls]

In real life Mr. Bean is played by Rowan Atkins. He plays Mr. Bean with such passion he is Mr. Bean.

I wonder if in private Mr. Atkins is surly and wears a stylish black suit?



Every time I do any thing I think about the statement “How you do anything is how you do everything”. I first heard it from Rebecca Fine in the Practical Genuises Course.

After thinking about it for about a year I know that it’s true. How you do any thing is reflected in every thing you do. Don’t believe me? Take a look around you right now. How does your desk look? Is it tidy? Then probablly your kitchen is also tidy and vice versa.

It’s back to the same thing. It’s all about the pictures we have. See your self all tidied up and uncluttered? Or are you hanging onto clutter? If your outside world is cluttered with goodies you can be quite sure your mind is also cluttered.

My recommendation is a double clearing process. Go through your entire house and throw out every thing you don’t need. Don’t keep things just for being sentimental – that’s a feeling that lives in you, it’s not a thing. Once you’ve cleared your physical surroundings go through your head space. What have you got there that you don’t need any more? Get rid of it.

How you do your money matter things may be the same way you do other things. Pay attention. You will see it is true – how you do any thing is how you do every thing.



The idea about tithing is to give 10% of everything you earn to your spiritual teacher. This is to be seen as your commitment of acknowleding the universe / God / First Cause as your provider. My point is that it shouldn’t stress you, it shouldn’t be a kind of action which you feel you have to do because other wise you will be punished.

Watch this YouTube video. Recognise yourself in any of it?

It is old wisdom that says one should give what ever one wants. So for example if you want happiness then give happiness. But one can’t give until one has. But I noticed that in giving happiness it made me extremely happy. An example is giving time to my children and just being silly with them. Makes them laugh and that in turn makes me laugh. It’s a catchy thing.

Don’t make lame excuses. Give from the heart in joy. Only that kind of giving counts.



Actually this was going to be a brief posting about the pleasure of buying a Mercedes Benz and landed up being a tribute to Janis Joplin. My stories of people and things are always some how related to the law of attraction.

This became a mini Janis Joplin tribute because I’m in for a new car and this time I really thought about what I wanted and had a good look around on the internet first. There are some stunningly gorgeous little vroom vrooms on the market. Little two seaters. What fun! But I’m a mom with twins so I need something big. Well I got my heart set on a Mercedes SLC class. Kind of conservative but still looks appealing and has serious motor stuff.Hey I don’t no much about technicalities but it all looks good, and that’s when I remembered Janis Joplin and her song Oh Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz…

I have become so intensly aware of the power of words. I can recognise what people are thinking and what their attitude is just by listening to what they say.

I don’t profess to be a mind reader but the words that people use just whilst talking about anything reveal heaps of information about them. For example I have a friend that gets off on hand bags and shoes. She says with out thinking, “Oh my God, that bag is to die for”. Well sure it’s a nice bag, but I wouldn’t want to die for it. I’d rather live to enjoy it – get what I’m trying to explain?

This friend is actually quite wealthy on a financial level. She inherited a decent sum of money, some valuable property and could choose to be happy if she wanted. Yet she’s dying for hand bags, whining about love affairs gone wrong. I always get the feeling she is looking for some thing. Her words tell me that and sure enough the state of her life prooves those words.

Another example is people often say No pain, no gain. Why do people believe that? IT’s possible to earn loads of boodle with out suffering. Ask Richard Branson, now he’s a FUN guy. He just doesn’t see any pain.
