Time For My Life: 365 Stepping Stones

Feeling overwhelmed with responsibility, bored with the same tired routine, or frustrated about how to create meaning in your life? Then snippets of time, well spent every day, can lead to extraordinary changes.

The contents on the pages of this book, are guideposts to which you can return throughout the day, providing energy, motivation, ideas, options, personal choices and inspiration when you want them most.

Time For My Life: 365 Stepping Stones is a daily call to action helping us take consistent, energized action. There is, of course, also an abundance of no-fluff, feel-good material, on each one of its pages!

When the content of this book gets you to move even just one centimeter towards the fulfillment of your desires then it is doing its job. The role of Time For My Life: 365 Stepping Stones is to stir you into action and change your life, habit by habit.

Here is something else to keep in mind...
Apparently the average person talks to himself or herself about 50,000 times a day and its said that these personal conversations of ours are negative 80% of the time. Visitors to www.forwardsteps.com.au and www.ask-thea.about.com often ask me how to remove those negative thoughts.

Let me share a secret with you...
Thoughts are not something to be removed. They can only be replaced, just as as it is when were replacing habits that do not serve us. Use the pages from Time For My Life: 365 Stepping Stones as your daily point of focus, before the gremlins begin to take hold!

The 'Time For My Life' Book Is Finished

Right now, I can tell you that my book Time For My Life: 365 Stepping Stones is finished (time zone AWST Sunday 19 July 2009 6pm).

I am so excited!

Currently, am editing & proofreading, plus setting up the publishing accounts, so that you can buy the book as PDF and/or as hard-copy book. They too take a few days to approve everything, and it's possible I might need to wait for a postal copy, of a hard-copy proof to accept. That will need to be mailed from USA to Australia. Meantime...

I will be creating unique web pages, complying with their guidelines. As well as, formatting the book to their distinct requirements. I have a day job, so everything goes a bit slower than I would like.

A couple of friends are proofreading for me, as well. Thank you! I am impatient too, and all these things take time. Almost there! :)

To add to the book's site, I have some great free bonuses and also some complementary products to create. Meantime, I am working to get this month's Triggers Ezine published and delivered as well. That too will be a mini-distraction for me for a few days. So much to get moving this month!

You can be sent an email as soon as the book is available to you. You WILL be FIRST to know! Just add your name to the mailing list at Time For My Life: 365 Stepping Stones

Here's a little something to relax us all, while we wait. Enjoy the gift!

Grand Slams, Concerts, History, Events and Updates

[Image via Wikipedia]

A few evenings ago, I thoroughly enjoyed staying up till 2:30am and watching an epic game of Wimbledon tennis. It was such a pleasure to see Roger Federer reach this pinnacle in his career, apologies to Andy Roddick fans! I too like Andy, however I really wanted Roger to break all those tennis records with that one game. You can learn a lot by observing his career, in fact, by observing the career of any highly accomplished person who has achieved amazing personal victories.

Then, last week Thursday here in Perth, Australia, I had the pleasure of going to see Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon, live. Theirs is the first ever album I bought, with saved pocket money (in 1973 that was a long time saving). Yes, it’s an LP record on vinyl, and I still have it if my sister has looked after it! The concert night was such fun, and I truly felt a part of something historic, just as with the Wimbledon match. I was in awe of the incredible talent on display, including the other musicians that shared the stage.

Ten years ago, if someone had said to me that in 2009 I would be living in Perth, watching Simon and Garfunkel on stage, with two friends I did not yet know, I probably would have thought they were nuts to even suggest it. If they had added that I would be writing about that concert for a large list of readers from my personal website, I would have thought, "Totally impossible". I had sent my very first email only around 9 years ago! Consider this experience, when reflecting on your own life as you think of your personal dreams, and their possibility of fruition. A space of 24-hours IS a very long time! John Lennon said, "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans".

By the way, when did you last visit Forward Steps? The site has changed, plus there are also a couple of new videos at the Inspiring Videos page as well as a couple of minor changes at the 50 Free Gifts link. In addition, I include a set of Monthly Special Features on the home page at Forward Steps, you’ll see them in a slide. As well as all that, now Forward Steps has a new self-hosted Wordpress blog, which serves as my main blog. Do go and take a look at each of those links, if you have a few moments for that.

Lastly, on July 12th 2009, are you in Melbourne, Australia? Then book your ticket for this unique Music And The Arts Event [PDF], to raise funds for Marysville after the horrific February bushfires. Greg (my partner) will be there, and Lucas Barr (Greg's step-son, who has flown down from Germany) organized the event. Give them both a big hug for me if you attend! Greg and Lucas would love to meet you. Tell them you’re one of my Forward Steps friends. All proceeds go towards developing music and the arts in Marysville.

List Of Inspiring And Motivational Videos

The mind cannot think of two things at the very same time as each other.

For example, when I suggest that you think of a pink elephant, you can likely see one very clearly, in your mind's eye.

If I now asked you to think of a purple turtle, you can see it very clearly too. However, where did that pink elephant go while you thought of the purple turtle?

Give your mind a mini-positivity break!

I have created a special List Of Inspiring And Motivational Videos, to transport your mind to another place for just a few moments.

Some of the images and ideas presented in the videos may stick around much longer than during just the viewing time. The memories of them will give your mind some other places to visit in your thoughts when you're next bombarded by negativity.

Enjoy these, and by all means, share them around.
