December 31, 2008 Welcome!To this issue of the Denis Waitley International online newsletter. My goal is to offer valuable, relevant, leading edge, and interesting content, with some innovative and refreshing differences from the other ezines and newsletters you may be receiving. Warm regards, P.S. Today's issue is going out to more than 100,494 weekly subscribers. If you've enjoyed this edition and found it to be valuable, then if you would do me the favor of forwarding it to your friends, family and associates, it would be very much appreciated. If they would like to subscribe, they may do so at http://www.DenisWaitley.com Many Thanks! In This Issue.....1. This Week's Jumpstart
1. This Week's JumpstartBe willing to say to yourself, "I'm on the right road. I'm doing OK. I'm succeeding." We too frequently become adept at pointing out our flaws and identifying failures. Become equally adept at citing your achievements. Identify things you are doing now that you weren´t doing one month ago... six months ago... a year ago. What habits have changed? Chart your progress. Doing well once or twice is relatively easy. Continuously moving ahead is tough, in part, because we so easily revert to old habits and former lifestyles. Over the long run, you need to give yourself regular feedback to monitor your performance and reinforce yourself positively. Don't wait for an award ceremony, promotion, friend or mentor to show appreciation for your work. Take pride in your own efforts on a daily basis. -- Denis Waitley
2. The Champion Within ArticleSpecificity Is The Key by Denis WaitleyThis is the season for goal setting. It's the time to start with a clean slate and fill your slate for 2009 with tangible, incremental, stairsteps to your ultimate dreams. One of the major reasons so few people reach their goals is that most people don't set specific goals and the mind just dismisses them as irrelevant. Most people want financial security, but have never considered how much money it will take. The mind cannot begin to formulate the strategies and actions required without specific information. Your mind will simply not respond to a request to get rich, have more, do better or make money. You must act like a bank loan officer with your goals. The reason loan officers want to see a detailed business plan is that they know the entrepreneurs who are precise and specific are the ones who will succeed and pay off their loans. If you ever begin to feel that you are losing your drive, if you feel like your energy level is down, your frustration level is up and you just can't seem to muster the enthusiasm to face a challenge, check the pulling power of your goals. You may have outgrown your current targets and present lifestyle. It may be time for motivation by elevation. Raise your sights and challenge yourself with some goals that are farther out on the horizon. This may require more knowledge, new skills, a new lifestyle. If so, that's great! Many people resist goal-setting because they assume it leads to a formula-driven, highly uncreative life. Actually, the exact opposite can be true. People who passively assume that everything will somehow work out in the end can hardly be termed creative. They're not creating their lives, they're just hoping against hope that something good will happen to them. Setting worthwhile goals is a much more imaginative approach. It's fashioning and molding the life of your choice. It's approaching your life the way an artist might stand before a new canvas, on which a beautiful painting can be crafted. There are other useful metaphors for creativity in goal-setting. The rudder of a plane, for example, is small and rigid, like a short term goal you might accomplish in just one day. But the rudder can turn the plane in any direction the pilot chooses. In that, there's a great deal of freedom and flexibility. Once you set a goal, you can adjust and fine tune it any way you wish. That's creativity. And persistence is what allows you to keep progressing toward the goal no matter how many adjustments are required, and no matter how long it takes to accomplish. The mind is the most magnificent bio-computer ever created. But remember, like a computer, it only responds to specific instructions, not to vague ideas. So come alive in 2009! Get laser focus and goals that are just out of reach, but not out of sight. Get Specific and Achieve Great Things in 2009 -- Denis Waitley

Seeds of Greatness by Denis Waitley(This excerpt was taken from Denis Waitley's 365-Day Coaching Calendar, part of The Seeds of Greatness - The Value-Based Family Enrichment Program for 21st Century Leaders!) January 1: Buy your child a diary or a journal notebook. Leave it on his desk or table along with a new box of pencils and a note that says, "Dare to dream." Teach your teen that the past doesn't equal the future. Each day is another chance to make something positive happen in one's life. --DW
4. The Winner's Edge Coaching TipsAs we move into the New Year, often this can be a stressful time as we close out the old year and work to create new goals and determine our direction for a new year. So for the next three weeks we'll cover, "The Three Rules For Turning Stress Into Success." So let's go ahead and cover our first rule. 1. Accept the Unchangeable - Everything that has happened in your life to this minute is unchangeable. It's history. The greatest waste of energy is in looking back at missed opportunities, lamenting past events, grudge collecting, getting even, harboring ill will, and any vengeful thinking. Success is the only acceptable form of revenge. By forgiving your trespassers, you become free to concentrate on going forward with your life and succeeding in spite of your detractors. You will live a rewarding and fulfilling life. Your enemies, on the other hand, will forever wonder how you went on to become so successful without them and in the shadow of their doubts. Action Idea: Write down on a sheet of paper things that happened in the past that bother you. Now crumple the paper into a ball and throw it at the computer screen. This symbolizes letting go of past misfortunes. Work on letting go of the past, forgiving yourself and others and move forward! -- DW
