Live everyday like your going to die. The Final Lecture.

Randy Pausch gave his final lecture in front of a packed house at Carnegie Melon on September 18th 2007. Randy passed away on July 25th 2008. Randy's lecture is one of the most touching and profound lecture's I have ever heard in my life. This video has had an effect on my life that I could never have paid for, it puts a lot in perspective. I look at my children who are carefree and try to model their lives in my own. Today I look forward every day I wake up to accomplishing another dream. Enjoy.

Zopa is the ONLY lender that allows you to use the power of big bank lending to get a loan funded while using the power of social networking to lower your interest rate. How?

Once you have created your profile with Zopa and your loan is funded, you promote your zopa profile using facebook, myspace, blogs, google adwords, movie trailers, whatever you can think of!! Everytime someone invests in a Zopa Certificate of Deposit (CD) a contribution is made to a trust account, which is passed directly on to you the person holding the loan in the way of lowered interest rates. You can literally reduce your interest rate to almost NOTHING during the life of your loan by doing a little bit of advertising. The best part about it is the person who invests in a CD gets a BIG thank you from you, and gains interest from their INSURED investment!

What is your passion? Use it!

For a long time, I had a hard time searching down my passions. I always thought computers and linux administration was my passion, and that I should keep studying it and eventually I would actually enjoy it. After going from job to job and being just as dissatisfied and let down over and over again I realized that it wasn't my employer that was bringing me down, it was me.

Why?

Simple, I wasn't being fulfilled by what I was doing. I had interest in other places, I found myself distracted by what I could be doing. How did I resolve this?

I made a detailed plan that I am still working from to move myself from what I was doing as a systems administrator, to a power house internet marketer with income on automation, and use that to teach others to follow their passion.

This plan is going VERY well so far. I have found a great group of mentors, teamed up with a close friend, and am teaching others how they can find and follow their passions as well. These are all key ingredients to become a powerhouse at anything, teachers and students, both at the same time. Teach what your taught, and it will become very clear to you how it actually works.

I learned that I love this challenge, I find myself now absolutely immersed in my statistics of my web sites, I find something absolutely amazing about the fact that little tweaks here and there, and people like you come to my website, read what I have to say, and in some cases, purchase products that I market through my website.

I am now working on trying to help others realize a passion, and follow that passion, as a matter of fact, my TRUE passion is teaching others to find a passion and coaching them to use that passion on their own to become a happier person overall. Which is why I refer to myself as a lifestyle coach. Am I available to help you? Certainly, its my passion to do so.

I know what your saying, whoa cowboy, you went from one passion to another in a matter of the same breath? Of course, that's the beauty of following your passions, you can follow them all, and use them how it bests suites you. Here is what I teach others :

1. Sit down and think, very quickly, if you didn't have to worry about money, what is it you would spend your days doing? List at least (3) things


2. For each one of these passions, list 3 careers that exist in that passion


3. For each career you have listed, list 3 experts or authority figures in that career

Once you know who these experts are, you need to attempt contacting them, and asking them to mentor you. Now I know your saying to yourself :

Why would these people want to mentor me?

Because someone who as achieved the status of being an authority figure in their industry naturally wants to have protege's. While making this contacts, you need to start developing goals and dreamlines (we will discuss these in further detail later).

Start today, let me know if you have questions. Go after your passions. You can do it! (continue reading &aquo;)

View stress as a challenge, live forever

Life is going to hand you stressful situations on a daily basis. How you handle those situations will contribute overall to your long term health. Learning to effectively deal with stressful situations can be the key too living a long life.

This ebook outlines very effective techniques for dealing with stress, anxiety, or panic attacks. I used to suffer from horrible panic attacks, most of which started shortly after the death of my mother. I had a hard time coping with situations and found myself using alcohol as a coping mechanism at time.

Through the use of techniques such as deep breathing, mediations, and a change in my general mindset, I have learned to over come stressful situations.

Take stressful situations and turn them into powerful situations.

Take this into consideration:

• Most deadlines are false, and unneeded, they are a guideline for when something SHOULD be done. Before allowing a dealing to stress you out, consider the consequence of missing the deadline.


• Almost all situations are temporary, consider the worst outcome of that situation, immediately prepare a plan to avoid that outcome, as well as a plan to recover from that outcome. You will generally realize that the worst outcome isn't the end of the world.


• Don't allow other people's situations cause you stress. Empathy, and self involvement are two different things. Don't involve yourself in other people's stress, but remain empathetic to the situation.

Now, this is not to say that you will never face a stressful situation again in your life. When you are faced with a stressful situation, use that stress as fuel to be amazing. If you take a few minutes, and do some deep breathing, then analyze the situation, you will be able to quickly discover a plan to overcome your stress and "be the hero of the day".
