Action! Nothing Happens Until Something Moves
by Robert J. Ringer
So Obvious, and Yet Most People Don’t Do It
One of the best things I ever did was read Robert Ringer’s book on Getting What You Want. The reason is that it really cleared out a lot of the wrong thinking that I had. When you clear the clutter out of your thinking, it makes way for you to do what you really want to do, and you’re also not hampered by what other people say or think.
The premise of this books should be obvious. For most people I don’t think it is, and I really believe that the first step to having what you want is knowing what you really want. Most never get past this first step, and even it requires action because you have to make a decision.
The reason I read this book is because I was looking for motivation, something to jump start my life because I felt like I had stalled. Some of the information on this book sounded very similar to his other book I mentioned previously. However, there is also a lot of new material I hadn’t encountered, and I found it very helpful because it helped me to further clarify my thinking.
Usually when I read this type of book, I read Christian authors. Since my faith is very important to me, I want to make sure I understand these issues in light of my faith so I make according to my faith. Ringer expresses something far more important: universal human truth. (These are things that are true regardless of your circumstances or what you believe.)
This book did for me what I needed it to do: motivate me to take action on my current situation and then keep going. I feel better now than I ever have. I’m out of the rut that I was in, and I’ve escaped a part time job I hated that I was doing while I rebuilt my business. I’m focused now on my goals, and things are finally, and quickly, getting done. All of my obstacles are gone.
If you’re stuck in a rut, then you may want to read this book. It may just do the trick for you, get you unstuck, and help you take the action you need to take to live the life you really want.

The 7 Principles of Rational Living
Do you ever feel like you’re being lied to? I feel that way most of the time. I don’t watch the news anymore for this reason.
There’s an old expression in Journalism that says, “If it leads, it’s bleeds.” I feel that the more I watch the news, the more negative I become, but it’s not just the news that does this to me, it’s also being surrounded by negative people.
What’s unfortunate is that I think most of us just aren’t strong enough to resist the negativity in our lives, especially the negativity that comes from other people. If you’re not, then you really want to read this book, “Getting What You Want: The 7 Principles of Rational Living,” by Robert J. Ringer.
In this book, Ringer outlines seven different principles that he believes you have to live by in order to not only get what you want out of life but to find happiness too. These principles are:
1. Base your actions on truth
2. Focus on value, not entitlements
3. Make choices with civility, dignity, honesty, and humility
4. Avoid those who drain your personal resources
5. Rid yourself of major encumbrances
6. Develop the self-discipline to act on intellect, not impulse
7. Learn from bad breaks and move on
Some people will find this book to be offensive. After all, it’s about recognizing where you are deluding yourself in your life, owning up to what you are doing, then taking steps to change. The value is that if you do that, you’ll eliminate the obstacles holding you back in your life. Once you eliminate those obstacles, you’ll be able to press forward and achieve what you really want.
One of the most important principles I learned from this book, or at least it was reinforced by this book, is that you can’t change the world. In order to change the world, you have to change other people, or at least most people think you have to change other people.
If you’re one of these people who thinks that you need to change the world in order to be happy or have a purpose, then take control of what you can and change yourself. All of us have the ability to improve, and all of us need to improve.
Regardless of what you are looking for in life, this book will help you achieve it. Not only does it tell you what you need to be doing, it tells you how to do it, and why you should be doing it in the first place.
I’ve read plenty of self help books. I am always working myself because I believe that we are always works in progress. What this book helped me finally do was shed the burdens of the past and not feel guilty for being happy and wanting to live my dreams.
Ultimately, what I learned, is that I am only responsible for me. I can only change me, and in changing me, that not only makes the world a better place, but it leads me to what I want in life, as well as my ultimate happiness. When you stop reacting to life, and start acting on life in a rational way, you will achieve what you really want.

Fight Fat After Forty
by Pamela Peeke, M.D., M.P.H.
“It’s a Scientific Fact: Stress Makes You Fat.”
In February of this year, I quit smoking. I’ve stuck with it, and I’ve been smoke free for seven months now. I did that by using Paul McKenna’s Stop Smoking Meditation. I started working out, and I kept working out so I didn’t gain any weight.
However, the problem is that I couldn’t seem to lose any weight either. After doing various workouts for the last seven months, I still haven’t lost any weight. What’s worse is all of the cravings I had and being hungry all of the time. I thought this was the result of quitting smoking, and it should be temporary. It wasn’t though. I stayed hungry all of the time, and I couldn’t understand why.
After reading this book though, it’s very clear to me. If you’re a woman over 40 who is struggling to lose weight and can’t, or you’re having trouble with your hormones, then this book is definitely for you. It will help you get back on track by determining your stress profile and then eating, as well as exercising, accordingly.
To get you back on track, Dr. Peete employs a three pronged approach. First, you learn the technique of regrouping. This helps you determine when you are most stressed and then helps you decide what you will do during these times to reduce, and ultimately, eliminate negative stress.
Next, you learn how to use nutrition and eat not only the right things but at the right times. By avoiding late night eating and also by eating more frequently, you get your appetite under control and stop eating purely because you’re stressed.
Finally, you learn the easiest and most important component of all: exercise. If ever there were a magic pill to solve your stress fat, as well as help you feel better, look better, and get rid of fat for good, then this is it. It’s really that simple. Dr. Peete shows you how to do it right. You get the most return for your effort from your exercise, and you get fit, and get rid of fat for good.
Stop feeling like you are going crazy. That’s exactly how I felt, and this book was a lifesaver. If you’re ready to get fit, get rid of the fat, and look and feel younger, this book is definitely for you.

A surefire way to debunk atheism?
It’s hard not to laugh when you read some of the things that atheists say. Nothing created something. Doesn’t that violate one of the laws of thermodynamics or something? LOL
Anyway, I encourage you to read this article. It’s really quite funny. It also makes you feel sad for atheists because it really makes them look stupid!
Enjoy it.
