Denis Waitley's Ezine Subscriber and Customer Comments:

I have to say that I had total goose-bumps when first viewing the movie, The Secret, at the part where I heard your voice just before they showed your face. You've been one of my heroes for several years. I had the chance to thank you for helping me quit 35 years of smoking with one statement on your tapes. You said "smoking and self-esteem are incompatible." That was pivotal for me so I thank you again. It un-tethered me to create some of the best years of my life. Thank you for being a beacon for me especially in those foggy times.
-- Don Campbell

I'm very, very excited after reading these wonderful experiences, you share in the DW's Ezine. My deepest wish would be to attend in person one of your training courses.
-- Freddy Ngandu

I am a director and independent consultant with Southern Living At Home and was forwarded a copy of Dr. Waitley's most recent ezine. Such useful, inspirational information. I love the idea of "practice makes permanent." What a concept!
-- Sandy Langwell

Self-Knowledge: The Key to Preparing for Competition was a very good article. I also liked the list of words that are worth remembering from the same Denis Waitley Ezine...think we should all do The Words to Remember and challenge our teams to do the same.
-- Nancy Colaruotolo

Just a quick Thank you from Winnipeg, Manitoba for your trip to speak at our Usana Event this past weekend. I understand you are heading to Australia and hopefully your luggage has caught up to you by now. You made a difference by coming and I know your mom would be proud. It was a pleasure meeting you and signing my "Psychology of Winning book" that I brought from home. I wanted to just say thank you for all the lessons and good positive energy you've given me. I also wanted to mention how powerful the movie the Secret has been for me and our young business teams ranging in age from 22-28 years right now. I will continue to be a fan and will always be growing. You and others such as Jim Rohn, James Ray, Robert Kiyosaki, T. Harv Ecker, Blair Singer, and great family and friends have helped me bring out this feeling inside me that has been building for up for years. I've used this burning desire to run marathons and triathlons for over half my life, but in day to day life, something has always held me back. Not anymore - this past year has been amazing and I feel unstoppable, energy wise. When I get to my successful place and help others on a larger scale, I want you to know you were a part of it. In five years, you will hear the story of "motiv8d" and remember this email.
-- Ryan Anderson

I receive your ezine weekly along with Jim Rohn's, thank you very much. I live in a small town and the library has a yearly book sale. I came across a cassette package called "Physiology of Winning". It was in perfect condition. I paid $2.00, what a deal! I am honored to add it to my book shelf.
-- Nita Kalousek

I recently purchased a CD, "The Psychology of Winning in the 21st Century" I have listened to this CD 3 times in 2 days, its incredible!
-- Webster Bailey

Thank you for continually touching my heart and life. You have been my mentor for over 25 years. Your book "Seeds of Greatness" and changed my life. Thank you.
-- Jacqueline

Thank you for writing Seeds of Greatness many years ago. My wise older sister, when I was about 17 years old, gave me the book as a gift, because she had some kind of intuition that such a book would be good, even vital for me. Seeds, those are exactly what the book planted in me, latent as they were for some years. I read the book voraciously. At the time it did make me feel empowered but I failed to convert the feelings into action. I just really didn't get it. Fast forward to today. At the age of 42, I am rebuilding a wonderful family and business life that I set aside for alcohol and self gratification throughout my 20's and most of my 30's. You see, I did learn a lot from the book. I knew intuitively that what my church was teaching me and what other wise literature was saying to me was true because I had read your book so long ago. Had I not read Seeds of Greatness, I believe that I may not have been given a daily reprieve from my self-destructive tendencies three years ago. My mind was prepared enough to accept and embrace the truth and what is good and right and necessary for me to do. Today I am a relatively successful sales executive and loving husband and father of four blessed children. I'm finally putting your words and those of Steven Covey, Jeffrey Gitomer, and most importantly to me, Jesus into action. I look forward to getting to know you all over again through your E-Zine. Thank you for making your work so accessible and useable.
-- Chuck

Hi, I recently ordered and received the Seeds of Greatness Family Program, which is fantastic. Many Thanks.
-- Colin Campbell

Hi, I recently purchased the Seeds of Greatness pack and we are really enjoying the program. My 8 year old daughter loves the Music for Winners CD too. Thanks again for a great program.
-- Lee

Dear Denis, I came across your article, Procrastination Doesn't Make Perfect, while I was going through some of my thousands of e-mails. This was a wonderful article and one I really needed to hear. Perfect timing. Please put us on you e-mail list. I love everything you do and thank you for all you do.
-- Sonja Yost

Thanks for the continued inspiration. We attended the Winnipeg Celebration and thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. Thanks for sharing inspiring and insightful stories with people and entertaining us with heart and soul. We became Achievers that Thursday night and a few weeks ago became Bronze Directors, which we know is a direct result of the awesome training and support we have received from countless individuals like yourself. We hope that many of our downline also subscribe to this mailing and Life Masters to get the edge they need to rank advance in Usana and learn strategies that will help them take charge of their life and their health in unimaginable ways. Enjoy the convention! We will be there in spirit as our "other JOBS" as educators prevents us from attending this year.
-- Donny & Wayne Wyke

Dear Denis, this is just to let you know that ever since last April when I started receiving your free e-zines, I have never regretted reading them. They are not only informative and educative, but very inspiring for any serious Christian. They are simply 'un-put-down-able!' Please keep it up. May our good Lord keep your anointing aglow for humanity. Shalom, and my compliments to your family, sir.

Dear Mr. Waitley, I have a collection of your tapes/cds. Still, I read your newsletter because it is food to my invisible self. My mind/soul/invisible self/ devours this nutritious 'meal' and its always delicious.
-- Tina Pinnock

Since I have been on the 90-day plan, I have listened to the Jim Rohn 2004 Leadership Event four times, Jim Rohn's Challenge to Succeed program twice, Denis Waitley's Psychology of Winning twice and read the following books: Think and Grow Rich, The Richest Man in Babylon, four chapters of the Bible, Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankle, The Angel Inside, The Seasons of Life, and The Five Major Pieces of Life's Puzzle. All this while running 20+ miles per week, competing in a 15k race, working 50+ hours per week at my regular job, working 10+ hours per week on my rental properties, and spending time with my family and my church. I am watching less than 4 hours of TV per week and I don't miss it at all. I originally started this program to help me improve my financial life. However, I found that the greatest improvement was in my family life. Two months ago, I was getting ready to file for divorce. However, after studying the leadership principles in all of these books, tapes and CDs, and especially the Bible, I began to apply these principles to my home life. The change is amazing and the improvement in my family life is nothing short of miraculous. I know God had a hand in bringing me to Ron White's seminar where I purchased your CDs and books. With God's guidance I was able to diligently study all the materials and can honestly say that the information you guys provided me probably saved my marriage. I thank God everyday for bringing your information to me and I thank you with all my heart for your words of incredible wisdom. -- Jeffery D.

The Psychology of Winning - Dennis Waitley - I love it. -- Ronald Wayne Sandy

 I first 'met' you guys in the early '70s, Brian and Denis by tape, Jim in person while working the Bestline business. Creative sales was not my long suit; I've since built a successful career in industrial selling. I literally wore out copies of The Psychology of Winning and The Psychology of Achievement (would have done the same with Take Charge of Your Life, except I loaned it to a friend and he wore it out for me). All this for background. Last January, just before my 60th birthday, I was diagnosed with colon cancer - quickly and successfully carved out, prognosis excellent. During that time and since, friends, family, and business associates have all spoken to how calmly and positively I dealt with the situation and how quickly I recovered (candidly, I've surprised myself, on the upside). The answer, of course, is simple - I've been practicing for 30 years. My thanks to all of you for your work. -- Harry Wright

Dear Mr. Waitley, I wanted to send you a note letting you know what a change you brought to my life. When I was 15 years old I had a coach put the Psychology of Winning tapes in my hand and told me to listen to them until I could recite them. I'm 38 years old now. The principles that you taught me in those tapes helped a kid that was trying to overcome a challenging childhood (divorce, abandonment, physical handicap). I went on to be a four year state qualifier in high school, and compete in a Div. 1 college program. I was never a standout athlete in college, but was able to use much of what you taught me to be the captain of the teams. I took the principles you taught and have applied them to my professional life, where I have consistently been in the top 5% income earners. The greatest thanks go to you for what I have been able to pass along to my three awesome children. It has been tremendous to see how the principles that you taught me, and that I passed along to them have impacted them in their individual successes. You have lived a life of significance, and I Thank You. -- Rod M.

Hi Mr. Denis Waitley, we have a poet in our subcontinent Indo-Pak, Mirza Ghalib, The Goethe of East has said, "It is indeed difficult to make any job/work/assignment Easy, As it is not achievable for a man to be a Human." You and Mr. Jim Rohn and all people who are guiding mankind for being Human is really a sacred task. It is really a priceless task. I read and email to my friends and relations. Thank u for your being kind. -- Baqir Ali

Thx so much for the 'love support' story. Very encouraging and fun. -- FJR

Hello, I'm a coach and NLP-Trainer living in Sweden. I just would like to thank you for your wonderful, informative and inspiring newsletter! I read your book Seeds of Greatness 20 years ago, and I continue to read it once or twice every year. I've gained so much insight from that book, other books you've written and your audio programs. Recently I bought the Platinum Collection and stand in awe of the knowledge you have about peoples behaviour and what drives them, and I've been able to apply a lot of your suggestions... Your newsletter is a "must read" every time I receive it, and I try to reflect on the ideas provided and apply it in my own life. -- Niklas Daver

Denis, the subject treatise in the Zdanis USANA Team list of meaningful business tips, etc. was especially meaningful and HELPFUL to me today. I have not taken advantage of your weekly personal development tips, and I desire to start subscribing to them now. I miss not seeing you more often than once at year at convention - so I think your weekly development tips will be beneficial for me. Thank you so much for this article on Procrastination and how insidious it can be for us. Please subscribe me to the weekly personal development tips. I appreciate you, Denis! -- Frank

I had the great privileged to hear Mr. Waitley 22 years ago at a Tupperware Dart Corp., I took the knowledge and applied it to my personal life and my business. I became number three in the nation for sales, and I lived in Barstow Cailf. I'm reading his book again, The Seeds of Greatness. Thank you. -- Florence Goodlow

Hi, Denis, enjoyed your tapes. Keep up the good work. -- Bob and Jenny Petrucci

Hi Denis, your E-Zine is great. It jolts me anytime I feel lazy or laidback. It's good to have a weekly reminder that I 'CAN' and will succeed. -- Tale

Thank you Dr. Waitley for the Ezine, which is so encouraging and inspiring and full of such good advice. I love it. -- Anna-Greta Videbeck

Dear Denis, I want to thank you sincerely for the wonderful job you are doing in teaching us how to become better in every sense. I always enjoy reading your weekly issues immensely and today in particular I enjoyed and made a note of your Section 2, subtitled 'overcoming fear of rejection, "last paragraph" it was like finding a light in a dark tunnel. Thank you, again. I look forward to receiving your next issue. -- Herminda Jones

Oooh that really is a powerful message I have ever read. Thanks a lot and may God richly bless you. -- Ndambo, Inutu

Dear Denis, I've been listening to you for over 15 years and I greatly appreciate your wisdom and insight. Thanks for all you do and keep up the good work! -- Dr. J. Matthew Durham

Thanks for sharing these Weekly Ezines with me. I am a counselor at the Davis Applied Technology College in Kaysville, Utah. I was a military enlisted Senior Leader for 27 years and have retired from that position in June of 2003. While I was in the military, I was lucky enough to watch your video "The Psychology of Winning". I really enjoyed this video and bought the cassette tapes of this presentation. I have been a vocational guidance counselor at the college for some 27 years. (I was in the USAF Reserve Program and was a "First Sergeant"). As such I was able to make positive influences with the military personnel with whom I served. I remember in your "Psychology of Winning" video that you were once a Navy Pilot and I enjoyed some of the references that you made to yourself in the video. I have enjoyed your weekly newsletters, and as you suggested, because they seem uplifting to me, I think they would be uplifting to others. Therefore, I plan to share and forward your newsletters on to them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, experiences and words of wisdom with me. I will forward them on to my friends or students I counsel who could use some mentoring and uplifting experiences. Have a nice day. -- Al Hepler, M.S., M.Ed.

Dear Denis,
Thank you for your Ezine which I have every issue from #1. One thing I have realized is that, in business, many people strive to reinvent the wheel. In my lectures and facilitation projects I find it so inspiring to illustrate to my 'students of life' that there are people like yourself that can validate that the answer is to improve the wheel and not re-invent it. I have read many of your works - (My POW paper back is now well aged and resembles an archeological find from below the pyramids) - that have been an inspiration for success in life. Like yourself my work is inspired by life-learning and I have shared those experiences with many tens of hundreds of people here in South Africa and continue to do so. Thank you for contributing to that 'aha' feeling when I read your works, knowing that people like you and of course those you have mentored to making life meaningful and rewarding. Thank you again, Denis, one of the founders who have contributed towards the betterment of humankind. -- Chris Bohr, MBA. DBA. (Ind. Psychology)

I have been a fan of your writing since the 1970's. I loved listening to you and have read hundreds of motivational books, mostly from the library and some I purchased. Denis, I admire your wisdom so very much. -- A. Clifford

Hello Dr. Denis Waitley, I have been following your articles on the internet for a long time. They have greatly motivated me into what I am doing today. I need to thank you for touching lives and shaping destinies of so many people around the world. If your articles could do so much for me, they would do more for so many Nigerians who want to learn. Thank you for being there. God be with you sir. -- Mr. Bola Adewara

Denis, I want to tell you "thank you" for all your work in the field of self-development and psychology. I have been able to add so much more richness in my life from the actions I have taken from your material. I respect your ability to speak in an interesting and clear manner and make the material come alive with your stories, "Gerber's strained squash!" I first rented your video in the late 90's at the University of Miami Blockbuster store and that is where I got into taking actions to improve my life. I have done a lot, gained muscle, got my M.B.A., getting my real estate license as we speak and most likely will attain a law degree in the next three years. I hope to work in a consultative capacity with my education to help others invest in real estate and make successful endeavors. I was privileged with my Dad, to see you twice in person. Once when you spoke in Jacksonville, Fl. as part of Peter Lowe Seminars and then most recently this summer at the Jim Rohn Weekend in Anaheim. Wish you the best with your writing, speaking and all the work you do to help this World be a better place. Thank you for being a role model of integrity that I want to model. -- Sean

I like the idea of letting go (referenced in the article by Denis in Messages from the Masters daily email from DailyInbox.com). Another fun way to accomplish this (which I have used with success) is to have people write down their past issues/frustrations on a piece of flash paper (available through any magic store on-line). Then light it and watch it go up in smoke. Thanks for letting me share. -- Adam Orlan

Dear Dr. Waitley, 20 years ago you spoke at a conference I attended in Dallas, TX and I purchased the "Seeds of Greatness" tapes. At that time you signed my book, The Double Win. Had I known then what an impact that were going to have on my life I would have given you the biggest hug!! Thank you for your tireless effort in not only developing people professionally, but also personally by encouraging us to put God and family where they should be – first. So a cyber hug will have to do!! God bless you, your family and your success! -- Dawn Corrie

Dear Mr. Waitley, my name is Rafael from Mexico. I have made such incredible changes in my life following your basic principles. I am getting out of debt and every day I wake up, I remember the things I read in your ezine and promise myself this day I am not going to be defeted by my worst enemy. ME! I see myself now as my best friend; I am confident about my future and I am preparing myself to earn lots of money. I work in Herbalife and also teach in high school. I would like to share a reflection I made the other day in the class room. I started asking the students what the reason was competitive sports are very popular and why a lot of people watch them around the globe? They answered things like they are role models, it is fun to do, excercise, it is good entertainment and so on. Then I told them, OK let's play football on a plain field, no limits, no teams, no time. I just give you a ball and you play. After two hours, four hours, six hours of doing that, is it fun? No one knows who's winning, no one knows the remaining time, no one knows who their team mates are. But what a difference if I set limits, teams, roles and mainly: SCORE and TIME. If you simply remove score and time in every sport, no one, and I mean no one, is going to watch a game or match in whatever sport. The Olympics would be the most boring thing in the world. Then I told them that is the reason life, in most cases, is SO boring; because you never know if you are winning or losing and you never know what is the remaining time. But what a difference if you set GOALS with score and time. Then you have fun in your life! Then you can make plans and take actions in case you are doing wrong before the time is gone! That's all I wanted to share with you; and I promise myself I'll attend one of your seminars between July and September next year, and I am going to talk with you in person. Thank you for sharing all that knowledge with the rest of the world. -- Rafael

Thank you, Denis Waitley. I first heard you speak in Minneapolis in the early 80's and you messages changed my life then and now. God bless you and thank you for the ezine. -- semperfi31@...

I am regularly reading your ezine issues and they always offer immeasurable confidence and encouragement. Issue no 25 puts me on the pedestal of alertness and greater awareness for honing the dimensions of life. Please accept my grateful thanks. -- B. Rajasekaran, Bangalore, INDIA

Dear Dr. Waitley, my name is Sehul Dave, and am writing from Mumbai, India. I am a big fan of yours - I have listened enthusiastically & repeatedly to your "The Psychology of Winning" audio program, which I had checked out from the public library in Gaithersburg, Maryland when I lived there; and now reading your weekly ezines ever since the first ezine started going out! I am really thankful for all that you do: really caring about the personal growth of people, giving timely & relevant advise/tips through your ezine, emphasizing the delicate balance between goals & ambitions v/s values & family life, underscoring the importance of being tech-savvy in a fast-changing world, boundaryless business environment, and so forth. You are right - you ezine is indeed different! It's a privilege to share in your wisdom & wise counsel through the ezines!! From the bottom of my heart - a sincere THANK YOU! You are a role model, and I strive to achieve & become all that I can become while maintaining the humble & down-to-earth nature that I see in you! A sincere THANK YOU again. -- Sehul

Having just lost my job and being asked to resign, I found this newsletter especially moving and re-read it today. It happened on the 22nd... what a powerful message. It has been for the best... one door closes and another opportunity awaits. I am awaiting several job offers this week. Thank you for a wonderful newsletter -- keep them coming.-- GB

Dear Mr. Waitley, First of all, congratulations on the most impressive performance at Mr. Jim Rohn's 2004 Weekend Leadership. Even though I have been following your advice and the advice of other speakers for several years now, I learned new things and gained even more insights. By way of introduction, I am a student of self-development, and avid reader of your recent E-zines. I just finished re-listening to your Healthy, Wealthy and Wise -- very, very helpful! Thank you very much.  -- Adam Newhouse

Hi Denis, I love your ezine and read it religiously.
-- Susie Hale

Denis, I just had to write and thank you for your latest newsletter, as always it gives inspiration. I was so overcome by your poem "Roots and Wings". I have sent it out to all the people I care about and those people that I have come into contact with, who I think would appreciate it - potential business colleagues included. Thanks again. -- Sue

Hi Denis, thank you for sharing your wisdom. I totally love the poem you shared - "Sermons We See". Having just had the privilege of being in your company down here in New Zealand, I am inspired by your passion for life - your sincerity and integrity shine through. -- Pam Gillies-Browning

Once again, great article.  -- Kevin Rolle

Dear Denis, thanks for your recent newsletter. Your article in breaking up large tasks into manageable chunks reminded me of a proverb I came across in northern Thailand. Q. How do you eat an elephant? A. One bite at a time. -- Dave Hogg

Denis, I like the quote it proves time tested proverb; slow and steady wins the race. -- MK Soni 

Thank you for not making your newsletter so long... Keep it short and simple. -- Kim Zinn

Hi! I receive a lot of ezines and motivational information every day. I try to read as much as I can and I usually get a good nugget or two. I have to say, there was something you wrote in your last in December that totally changed my perspective. I have struggled with a schedule for years. I loved being spontaneous and flexible. I did think that a schedule would confine me. Thank you for writing about the creativity that could be found in structure. It's changed my life. I rarely write feedback, but this was so dramatic for me that I had to share with you. Thank you again. -- Ricci Neer

Mr. Waitley, I want to thank you for your WONDERFUL, inspiring and motivating website I just found and subscribed to. Thank you for your wonderful e-zine. -- Brenda Adams

My name is Joseph Rooney from Ireland, I just wanted to take this quick moment to say a sincere thank you to Denis Waitley for all his wonderful and inspiring information he provides in his great newsletters. Thank you so much.  -- Joseph Rooney

Thanks Denis for your emails. They are truly motivating. Please keep it up. -- MK Soni

Denis, I'm so thankful for your Ezine and thankful to have you back in my life after a twenty year absence! Your Goal Mind course helped me overcome some challenges when I was twenty years old and I am ever thankful for that. After twenty years down the road of life I recently remembered how helpful your message was and found myself digging through my basement to find your course. I'm glad to find you in good health. Sincerely, "without cracks" I can still hear your voice explaining the origin of this word ;) -- Shawn Gookin

Denis Waitley International: 2005 will mark the beginning of a new era for us. We will all go after our dreams! We will all be radically changed! And we will continue to go after excellence in our lives being ALL that we can be! I am very thankful for the time I get to spend with my family and for all I have learned from so many wonderful others this past year (including the lessons so beautifully expressed in this newsletter). This is a great e-zine. The articles on procrastination have been especially helpful. My focus on overcoming fear and self-doubt have been key in helping me to overcome this evil habit. It's a process, but I'm moving swiftly along and I will not let it get the best of me. -- Natascha Bolden

Dear Mr. Waitley: Happy Thanksgiving! And thank you -- I really loved this ezine today, reminding me of what is important for me - to truly feel alive, and being deeply grateful for all my blessings. Also, while I am already writing, I have enjoyed the spirit and the message of 'Safari to the Soul' very much. -- Kerstin Spitzl

"There is a big difference between standard of living and quality of life. Standard of living is based on income earned. Quality of life is the enjoyment of the millions of minutes in between accomplishments." This is the first time in my life I have understood this basic principle. Thanks for your weekly tonic. -- Rajan

Dear Denis, I am a new subscriber of your weekly Ezine. I am so much happy that I am on your list, that I should have known this long time before. I thought I should write to you instantly my feelings about the Ezine. Any way to read your Ezine is so energizing, I get enough to get through the day. Real good advice and simple way of explaining. Much appreciated. Keep it up, Many thanks.  -- RP

-- Mychelle Davis

Dear Mr. Waitley, I first heard about you 25 years ago. I bought the "Psychology of Winning" tape series. I have purchased your books and try to listen to your tapes. You have definitely influenced my life for the good. I have a long way to go even after 25 years. But I am not dead yet. Your weekly ezine is a God-send. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! -- Pastor Mike Adams

Hi Dr. DW, I love and like your language and thoughts. Your letters contain all three qualities of communication, accuracy, brevity and clarity. I am a Television Star, a Journalist, Banker, Life insurance Consultant, Public Speaker and now starting a company based on MLM. I need your regular guidance and motivation for my new venture. I am from Asia. May Allah bless you. -- Baqir Ali

Thank you for your insight.  -- Dan

Hello Denis, chance had it that I only recently came across your work. I have been schooled by Tony Robbins and Jim Rohn largely in the past 8 years. Absorbed the wisdom of Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy and recently bought your CD-set which I just started working on, while at the same time reading your wonderful "Safari to the Soul". It may be clear that I am already a fan of yours. Today's e-mail on "Prime Time" inspired me again so much to dedicate more time on writing the book I have in my head. Thanks for all the inspiring thoughts you spread around the world. Is it not great to know that you are making an increasing difference in the world?! -- Dico van Barneveld, Holland

Thanks for sending us the Denis Waitley weekly last week. I particularly liked the layout of articles, the use of color breaks, the picture of the author at the top margin on the first page, the fonts and presentation. It made reading through the issue very fast and easy. Else, thanks for the fantastic magazine. I always look forward to my weekly copy. God Bless you and your team mightily. -- Winnie Jumba

Stop watching and Start Living in Prime Time! Excellent message for me. Thanks -- Rajan

Dear Mr. Waitley, I am greatly benefited from your weekly ezine. I would like to remain on your mailing list. God bless you. -- Stanley

Dear Denis, I am another fan of yours. I own a bunch of your cassettes and books. I really can't pick out my favorite since all of your materials are excellent. My TV. habit has been greatly reduced over the years. Reading your e zines as well Jim Rohn's et al as the prescriptions, help pull me through.  -- Philip Winick

Thanks Dr. W. I have seen your VHS tape of "The Psychology of Winning" and enjoyed that very much. Hope you are doing well at this time. Have a nice day. -- Albert

I just ordered your booklets as gifts for the holidays along with Jim Rohn's. I really enjoyed my first newsletter from you and try to live close to your advise. I look forward to you being part of my Prime Time and mentoring. -- Joan Chain

God bless you all and what you do. I met Denis in Minneapolis in 1982. I wore a scarf to cover my hair which I chose not to fix that day. I regretted that I hadn't worked on my appearance before our meeting, chance though it was, after his talk. The meeting did what it was supposed to do. I've never left the house since without getting totally ready for the day. I got the Seeds of Greatness that year and have since given the set to what has ended up to be my best friend when we moved to Denver that year. Thank you. -- Anonymous

Have recently purchased the Platinum Collection via J Rohn site. I've listened to Zig, Rohn, Tracy and others. Denis yours is the most practical. You've managed to get the motivation with good ways to implement what your talking about. I'm sure your library is huge and the quality of material on your CDs are very good. Keep up the good work. -- Ashley

I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying your newsletters. You are definitely out of the same school of teaching as Jim Rohn, of which I am a huge fan too, but you have given me new insights into myself, how I think and manage my time - for which I thank you.  -- Joan Woodcock (UK).

Yours is a great contribution to humanity, I really like your ezine and I will always like to receive from you I will like to popularize it here in Nigeria. I will refer it to as many people as possible. -- Alabetutu Olukunle from Nigeria

I enjoyed your second article and your poem about the robot. It helped me out. I also enjoyed the second tip on accepting compliments. -- Andrew

I have had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Waitley in person in the Chicago area about 10 years ago, and I can tell you that he is the "real thing". Thanks for the positive and insightful newsletter, keep up the excellent work.  -- B. Maness

I am a long time disciple of yours Denis. Your material makes the most sense, to me. The morality and knowledge that Denis applies sets his material apart. -- Stuart

Kyle, you're right... Denis is providing an excellent e-letter. I subscribed immediately upon your first mention of it. And thanks to you and your team for putting together that marvelous weekend in California. Not only were all the presentations outstanding; all of the care taken to make sure everything was first class made it a simply unforgettable occasion. I can hardly wait for the DVD package!  -- Penny C. Connerley

Please tell Dr. Denis Waitley that he is a role model for me. I respect him a lot. He teaches me how to have high self-esteem and to be a better person. I grew up in a poor family in China. After years persistence for a better life, now I am living in this great country. I feel very grateful to those who helped me along my way to get my PHD in chemistry in China, to be a senior software designer for a large company. I want to do my best to help others to achieve their goals especially youth. -- Lisa Wang

Hello, I would like to thank you for providing us with a very readable newsletter! Denis Waitley has been one of my biggest inspirations in the personal development area. His book "Seeds of Greatness" has provided me with a lot of insights and valuable lessons and I reread it once a year (since the late 80s). -- Niklas Daver

I took advantage of a special offer to buy your Platinum Collection, "Healthy, Wealthy and Wise". The set, even at a discount, was expensive but having heard the program, consider the lessons priceless. I guess what makes your words so touching to me is they are so much like the wisdom my now deceased aunt gave me when I was living with her and my uncle as a teenager. We were desperately poor on her Arkansas farm, but she followed the same philosophies you are teaching. She saved at least 10% of what little she earned, she owed not a single cent to anyone, she was always happy and positive, raised almost all her food from her garden and she always gave to others. Although she lived a very modest existence, at the time of her death (she was in her late 80's) she was worth well over $1Million! It's taken me years to realize the power of those simple, yet profound principles. I'm now in my 50's and through the lessons I've learned from my aunt, you and others, I'm well on my way to becoming a millionaire in my own right. I have a ways to go but I'm making tremendous progress each day. Thank you for sharing your knowledge-your much-needed inspiration is arriving at a very crucial point in my life.  -- James A. Boyd

Thanx Denis, I'm a student, also working in renowned marketing. The tips given by you for the last 2 weeks on how to deal with people were really empowering. Thanx a lot. -- Vinita-India

Denis, I really enjoy your ezine and thank you for it. With great admiration for you, I thank you for all you give to others. -- Jerry Young

Wow! Great message for a great day. Thank you. -- Rajan

Really Great!! Thank You Very Much... -- Nicky P.

I was really blessed reading the first edition of the e-zine. Thank you. -- Adebola Odu-Onikosi

I have been coaching since 1976. In the early eighties, I bought a tape copy of The Seeds of Greatness. Over the last year, I have been running modules for team leaders of companies like Coca Cola, Honeywell, The Academy of Chief Executives and others. I find myself passing on concepts and ideas with utter and complete conviction, because I know they have worked for thousands of people I have coached in the past. I recently bought your complete collection of work and began listening again. Your first tape cost me £3, or the equivalent of $5 in 1983. I now realize that you have been coaching me for over twenty years. Funny thing is, I could have sworn that I actually thought up some of that stuff myself! I believe that twenty five cents a year is pretty good value for the wisdom you passed on. Next time you’re on tour in the UK or I'm in the San Diego area... lunch is on me! Thanks for your help. -- Tony Whittle
