Be postive in your thoughts and dealings with others.

I am reading 'The Attractor Factor' by Joe Vitale. He describes 5 steps for creating well anything. Step 1 - Spring Board is about paying attention to my thoughts and conversations and how much negativity there is. This will let me know where I am at in my life. Also, I should keep negativity out and try to have positive thoughts and conversations. This also means to stay away from tv, newspapers, etc. Usually the just report on the negative that is going on. The Beyond Freedom program has you go on a media fast, i.e. not tv, radio, movies, newspapers, for 30 days.

This goes well with 'The Seven Habits - Habit 3' CD I am listening to, while driving. Stephen Covey talks about being loyal to those that are not present. Meaning to not say or pass on negative things about others. People will notice that and then wonder what I am saying behind there backs.

Best Advice I ever received

What is the best advice I ever received? It was from my manager at my first 'real' programming job. I was a contractor for DOD, writing software for wharehouse tracking. My manager had information/education meetings once a week. When we first start on the contract the first meeting he told all of as to 'Never Stop Learning'. Does not really matter what to learn, just keep on learning something new as often as possible.

This fits in so well with personal development. I have been involved in personal development ever since then. I read personal development or self-help books. When I found Liberty Leageue International and the Beyond Freedom program, it was as if I had been looking my whole life for it. I am starting theBeyond Freedom program again this week. Every time I go thought it I learn something new about myself, and the world I live in.
