Thought of the Week |
"I wanted a perfect
ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme,
and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is
about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the
best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next." -

What's Eating You?
by
Richard Fenton &
Andrea Waltz
You've heard the saying, you are what you eat, right? It's
one of those cute sayings we hear and acknowledge, then simply brush
away like lint. But what if the saying was rewritten as: What
you eat is eating you. Not quite as cute, is it.? But it's
the truth. What we eat eats us. As fitness guru Jack LaLanne
said, "The food you eat today is walking and talking tomorrow!"
Imagine that you ate (or, more accurately, drank) acid. Picture what it
would do to the lining of your stomach. This picture is exactly why we
DON'T drink acid. Or poison. Or glass. But here's what's interesting... This is EXACTLY what negative thoughts
do in our brain - they eat us from the inside out. But we are
nowhere near as protective of what we feed our brains as what we'd
put in our stomach. Now, why is that?
The answer is, because the pain of eating the wrong thing is immediate,
while the pain of what we feed our brains is not.
Maybe the next time we think a negative thought we should
picture it as the poison it truly is. Or, as Jack LaLanne
might say, "The thoughts you feed your brain today are walking and
talking tomorrow!"

Parle Vous Go for
No!®?
Over the past year we've signed a number of deals to have Go for No!
translated into different languages, including Hindi,
Portuguese, and (as we mentioned last week) Chinese. But it's
especially thrilling when the translated book arrives, which happened
this week when the FRENCH version was waiting in our
mailbox. Interestingly, the title is NON C'EST BON!, which
translates to "NO IS GOOD!" We couldn't have said it
better! (The French version cover can be seen the Living Go for No! section of our website.)

Quotables from
the Go for No! Movie |
"There are more bad sales
people selling bad products at a higher price, than there are good
sales people selling good products at a reasonable price. The bad sales
people can make more money - which might make them good sales people -
simply because they ask more people. They just stay with it all of the
time. They don't understand what rejection is. They look at rejection
as a challenge."
- Larry Winget, Best Selling Author & TV Personality
