Disc Golf Keeps the Bear at Bay

I was one that was always up for a round of golf whenever the opportunity presented itself. Getting out on a beautiful day, in beautiful scenery, birds chirping and all, but I guess you could say I never quite got the hang of the links. I am a frustrated hacker. More than a frustrated hacker, I'm the guy you see out there throwing his ball, or worse yet his club into the water with a hostile shout. I am a real bear out there. As much as I look forward to getting out there, I look forward to the round ending even more.

Now philosophically I have always told myself if something gives me frustration, get out of the situation. Life is too short to get this angry, but I have never found anything to replace my urge to golf, until last summer.

My wife and I love hiking, as you probably saw in one of my previous blogs, and last June or July, somewhere in that area, we were on one of our long hikes on a local trail in the Green Bay area, when we happened upon a park with a big sign in front that read "Disc Golf Course". Now I have to admit I had heard of Disc Golf, but I never had given it much thought until we happened on the course that day.

We decided to walk around the course and we watched the Disc golfers and it brought back memories of when I was a kid making up games with the Frisbee. I was intrigued. So much so that we bought a set of discs used specifically for disc golf. The set came with a bag, a towel, a DVD to explain the game and 3 discs. I was ready to go.

After study the DVD a few days after our discovery we ventured out into the world of Disc Golf. I honestly admit I felt a little silly at first, but once I got the hang of it somewhat, I really started to enjoy myself, and as in regular golf, I was also enjoying being in nature. It was fun, and I wasn't frustrated after the game. Not to say that it doesn't come without its own challenges, because belief me some of these holes and throws you have to make are very challenging, but it doesn't come with the one thing that golf had for me. Yeah, the seething anger, and the bear in me.

Now since last summer we have discovered a few different courses and it is still fun, it is free to play in most places, and you usually don't have to wait to get on the course. The only thing missing from regular golf that I truly enjoy is the clubhouse after the game, but hey you can bring your own cocktails.

If anyone is interested as to where they can find more info on Disc golf, courses in your area, and Disc golf accessories, here are a couple of links for you to check out. http://www.discgolfstore.com/courses/usa.shtml http://www.discgolfdirectory.com/ Get out enjoy yourself, you can't beat the price, the fun and you will keep the bear away. Yours always,

Terry

Abundance and Right Livelihood

When I got into network marketing in the late 90's, the team I was on really believed and stressed that you had to initiate a personal development program of at least 30-60 minutes per day to become the type of person it takes to be successful in business.

I didn't have any problem with this since well before I ever found network marketing I read self help books to overcome lack of self confidence. So I started listening to the tapes and reading the recommended books and did find it making a difference in my life, and in my business and I am always one that whole heatedly promotes personal development to everyone I know and meet, but it was a book that I found on my own that wasn't on the recommended reading list that had perhaps the biggest impact on me and that was "Abundance and Right Livelihood" by Neal Donald Walsch of "Conversations with God fame".

As sort of a guy that feels he has to do this and do that and work harder and harder, I realized as Neal describes in this book, that all I was getting was a big pile of "do do". Have you ever wondered why there are two like businesses on the same street that sell the same product, do the same thing, but one is thriving and one isn't? It is all about what you are "being", as opposed to what you are "doing".

This book taught be to be more, no matter what I was doing in my life. If I wanted more success in my business, I had to help some else achieve more success, if I wanted more love in my life, I had to give more love in my life. This just made more sense to me than any other thing I had read and made a much deeper impact than anything I had ever heard or read and I also found it much easier to implement.

I am not downplaying the impact the of all the recommended personal development books I read, and I am sure one book hits each individual a different way, but I highly recommend "Abundance and Right Livelihood" to anyone looking to achieve more in their lives. Neale Donald Walsch's personality and sense of humor make this a very easy read and it's only 130 pages long.

This indeed in my opinion a true application for living. Check it out, you won't regret it. To your success,

Terry

Sharing Some Good Thoughts

We all create our own reality by our thoughts, words and deeds, but it does indeed start with what we are putting into our minds. Good thoughts lead to good things, bad thoughts lead to bad things. We have a choice. It's simple, but yet so powerful.

Most of us have heard of books like "As a Man Thinketh and The Power of Positive Thinking" and most recently "The Secret". These books all instruct us on the power we hold in the thoughts we are thinking and they are all best sellers, because why? Because people are not happy with the results they are getting in their lives, and the reason people are not getting what they want out of life is because of the negativity and lack consciousness that is being programmed into us by the media, the things we read and listen to.

The great thing is that we can change that. We can turn off the tv and stop putting garbage into our minds and we can start putting the teachings of these great books to actual use. Study these books and reading self improvement will start you on the path to much greater thoughts and will eventually begin to be implanted in our subconscious minds.

There is an awesome book out there which I think many of you have heard of and that is "The Power of the Subconscious Mind" by Dr. Joseph Murphy. This book is so powerful and I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to achieve long lasting results in there life. I keep a copy in my Jeep with me so I can pick it up and read it everyday. I sincerely believe this book can change your life faster than any other book out there today, because the subconscious mind is where all our habits are formed.

Another tool I have found recently is the Mindmaster program which can be found at http://www.mindmaster.tv/ You can install this powerful program on your computer and set it up to project positive subliminal messages to you as you work. It is extremely easy to setup and you have many different options such as color, font, how long you want the message to display, where on the screen. The greatest thing is there are categories of messages for many different areas of your life that you want to improve. You can select some or all of these and you can customize it to put your own messages in. Another cool feature is that you have access to an image vault where you can have positive images displayed on your screen that will help implant these into your subconscious.

The cost for this program is something like $44.95 and it is a one time fee. I don't get anything for recommend this program as I am not affiliated with it in anyway. What I do get is the satisfaction that I am sharing this tool with you with the knowledge that it can have a major impact on improving your thought process, which in turn will lead to a much healthier and happier life. Let me know your thoughts. :-) May they be happy ones.

Yours always,

Hiking is Good For the Soul

When I need a break from the phone calls, conference calls, meeting and just life in general the first thought I have is to take a hike. Northeast Wisconsin has a lot of great places to hike and many levels of hiking for the novice to the gung ho hiker. There is just something about getting out on some quite trail that frees the mind and soothes the soul. I do some of my best and creative thinking just walking along taking in nature, and usually without even trying. It all comes so naturally in nature.

There have been times when I have been bogged down with a problem or situation and I just want to get away from it, and low and behold a solution or an idea pops into my head. This is just one testimony on the beauty of hiking.

Some of the other benefits of visiting a hiking trail are getting great exercise and burning calories or course, seeing wildlife and nature, and most important just getting in touch with your soul. It's a such a great feeling that I wanted to put it into this blog so that everyone can know what I get out of hiking. I love it

I usually walk about 4 to 8 miles when I hike, but this is when I pre plan a hike in advance. If it's just a spur of the moment hike at a trail close to home, on a day I just need to get away, I usually keep it to 1 -3 miles. It's all really up to you. You can start slow and gradually work your way up or just take jaunts, whatever works best for your preference and/or schedule.

Some of the things I would recommend taking on a hike are as follows 1) water 2) light snack 3)cell phone, turned off, only use as needed. 4) comfortable walking shoes 5) sunscreen 6) hat and perhaps an extra shirt 7) compass. This will guarantee a safe and enjoyable hike.

There are great hiking trails all over the US and I found this website that will help you locate a trail based on many different preferences. It's also great if you are planning a vacation and want to know where some of the best scenic trails are. The site is http://www.localhikes.com/ It also offers many tips and just about anything that you can think of as far as planning a hike goes.

So with that, I'm off for another hike. I hope you get out and enjoy one soon.

The Games We Play

As a kid who loved sports I grew up playing games like Apba, Strato-matic and Avalon Hill. I eventually graduated to Pursue the Pennant and Dynasty League baseball. I loved sports, I love statistics and strategy and I spent hours playing these games. The managing of my favorite teams and stars and the quick flow of the game consumed hour after hour for me. I admit it, I was a sports board game geek, but I loved it.

This was before the age of computers and games systems and I had to keep my own statistics, but I didn't mind, in fact it felt personal seeing game after game what these players were doing in my little world. My best friend and I created our own leagues and spent hours comparing stats and dramatic games. I was in heaven. I wouldn't change that for the world. It seemed like the best of times.

I recently purchased a playstation 3 and of course you need to purchase games, because they are not included so I picked up a copy of MLB the Show '09. I have to admit the graphics in this game is beyond compare you feel you are right at the ballpark. The player mannerisms the action is uncanny. This game keeps all the stats and then some and offers many different competition levels and even online competition. Amazing how far the gaming world has come since I was a kid.

I started a season and have been playing my Milwaukee Brewers, but have been struggling mightily. It first took me awhile to get used to the speed of the game and pitching, which is cool, because it is just like playing real ball, and it is fun competing against the computer and others online, but some things are missing.

You think I would be in heaven with the life like graphics and modern technology, but here is a 50 years old man cursing at the tv screen at bat after at bat and game after game due to the frustrating nature of trying to hit the baseball with my favorite players. My wife just laughs at me, which makes me more upset and I'm sure it is pretty comical, but many times this game just puts me in a bad mood. I don't remember feeling this way when I was playing the games of my youth. I remember being awake at night thinking about playing again as soon as I got up. Not ready to punch out my tv.

Last night after getting crushed by the Cardinals 7-2 and only mustering 6 hits I said enough is enough. I was steaming. How and why could a game do this do me? I am ready to throw in the towel. Maybe I should just play in managerial mode, or maybe I should let the computer simulate my season, but my competitive nature makes me want to go out and start hacking again, but for the sake of my sanity I think I am going to go back to the old school games. Hey, at least there are wild plays and rain delays and now you can play them on the PC and let the PC update all the stats. I need something to justify my actions.

As great as PS3 is and MLB '09 the show is with all the stunning graphics and statistics, it could be even better by adding some of these wild plays and rain delays, etc. Maybe have a fan run on the field or grab a ball in play or have a bug invasion like what happened in Cleveland a few years ago in the playoffs. They have all the technology. Why not? Again, justifying my actions. :-)

I know I am kind of rambling here, and I could go on and on about this, because I love gaming, but I wanted to kind of get out my frustrations and the whole point of this blog post is to say, if something is causing this must frustration and displeasure in your life, put it aside and find something that gives you happiness, because other people have to live with you, and most of all you have to live with yourself. Life's to short to be screaming at the tv and raising the blood pressure. Happy gaming! Love to hear your opinions and stories of your games.

Be Careful What You Listen To.

As a young man who inspired to be a songwriter I always found it was much easier to tap into my dark side when writing songs. I would write songs about relationships gone bad, things gone wrong in my life, and doom and gloom type topics. It just seemed to flow out of me.

After honing my hobby craft for a few years I was playing some of my songs for friends and I was fortunate to have a friend that was completely straight and honest with me when he said, "Terry, your songs are OK, but they are such a downer to listen to, don't you ever feel good about life?" This really hit me straight between the eyes, and I thought to myself, sure I feel good about a lot of things, but who wants to hear about those? The truth is, it was harder to write about good feelings and good things, because I listened to and was programmed and surrounded by lack and negative thinking people, places and things. This is what I was exposing myself to and this is exactly what I was getting in my life as well. It was a tough lesson, but a lesson I did learn. That is why it is often said, you will obtain a like income to your 5 closest friends. It is because of what you are exposing yourself to.

Today I write and listen to more things that inspire me and bring me joy, then things that bring me lack thinking and sad feelings. I am not saying you should never listen to music that may have some negative thinking, sometimes emotions need to be feed, I am just cautioning about the reality that over exposure to a lot of the media, music and junk out there is hazardous to your complete well being. I choose to shy away from the news, music with lyrics about being broke, abuse of women, etc., but when the mood strikes me I will listen to the blues or rock n roll that may not portray the perfect message I want to instill in my being, but it is more of an emotional thing for me. A good balance is recommended.

So today I just wanted to share with you my thoughts on exposure to the negative and lack conscious junk that is out there in hopes that we can increase awareness of things that may be holding us back in life. There is so much out there that is beautiful and positive and promotes inspiration and great things to happen within ourselves rather than to poison our minds. Enjoy music, enjoy life, live to be the most you can be. God Bless,

Terry

The Necessity of Personal Development

As a kid in my late teens in the mid to late seventies I found myself lost, with no confidence, unsure of myself and just plain miserable. I was drifting along with no direction. The things that used to bring me pleasure didn't do so anymore. Perhaps I had outgrown them or they just didn't challenge me anymore. I don't know, but what I did know was I need something to change my thoughts, my attitude, my look, just about everything about me if I were going to be the kind of person I desired to be.

A friend turned me on to a book that was hot at the time called "Looking out for number 1". It was my first taste of personal development and boy did that make me hungry for more. I started reading anything I could that I thought would improve me as a person, I even got into some deep Metaphysical philosophies as I was craving more and more, which was surprising even to me, because up to that point in my life about the only thing I ever read was the sports page.

Anyway, it wasn't long before people started commenting on how I was somehow different or that I had matured and I started to thing about what was causing the change in me and I realized it was because my thinking had radically changed and all that good stuff I was putting into my brain was actually effecting me in an exciting new way.

Before long I was back in school working on a degree, writing songs on the side and just living a much better life. I got married and started raising a family and progressing in my career which eventually took me to network marketing. The people I became associated with in network marketing soon got me involved in a personal development program and I eagerly dug into some of the great mentors and authors. People like Jim Rohn, Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki, Randy Gage. Spiritual leaders such as Eric Butterworth and Cathering Ponder. I couldn't get enough and I attribute most of the success I had in network marketing to these people. Without the constant growing and the recreating of myself I believe I surely would have failed. My wife and I made six figures in just eighteen months in network marketing and we become better people along the way. I can't say enough about the growth factor that occurred in us.

I recommend to anyone that is reading this, start on a personal development program today, regardless of what walk of life you have chosen. You will be amazed at what you can obtain. There are books, tapes, DVDs, CD's, just a massive amount of media that is available to all of us. Start with just 15 minutes per day and work your way up to an hour a day, and someday you will look back at who you were and not even recognize your old self.

Here are just a few mentors I would highly recommend, but there are so many good ones out there. The main thing is to just get started improving yourself.

Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki, Randy Gage, James Allen, Stephen Covey, Dr. Joseph Murphy, Eric Butterworth, Catherine Ponder.

Here's to your growth and success,
