Some wise person said a long time ago that the only thing constant in life is that it will change. Challenges come and go as a daily part of life but that certainly does not make them easier to deal with.

What are some of the things you do to keep going when life suddenly changes direction on you? Maybe it requires you to stop and re-exam your plans. Are they on target? Are you taking on too much at one time?

Lester Finds the Answer - Have Whatever You Will Or Desire.

A Modern American Master Tells of Going From His Death bed to His Finding the Answers to Health, Happiness and Prosperity, and How You Can Do It Too.

At the end of two weeks, Dr. Schultz arrived for his regular morning visit, and after examining his patient, pulled up a chair and sat down.

I’m discharging you today. Your condition is stable, and there’s no reason to keep you here any longer. Now that doesn’t mean you’re well. Far from it. You need an indefinite period of convalescence as well as checkups at regular intervals. But you don’t need to be in the hospital any longer. You can continue with bed rest and medication at home."

The doctor went on to outline his at-home program of rest, medication, and regular office visits; his diet; social activities (none); even his sex life (also none). Lester was surprised, but determined to follow doctor’s orders.

How long will this go on, Doc?" he asked. "How long do I have to take it easy like this? I realize you can’t tell me exactly, but can you give me some idea?" He watched the doctor carefully as he waited for an answer. It seemed like a long time before Dr. Schultz spoke.

That wasn’t what he expected. He wondered what was coming next. There was something in the doctor’s manner he didn’t like. "Forty-two," he answered and waited.

Dr. Schultz looked out the window, his face impassive as he sat lost in thought.

"What do you mean, from now on?" A very sick feeling was rising from his gut, up into his stomach.

I mean that you cannot expect to live a normal life from here on." He went on quickly when he saw Lester’s shocked look. "You’ve just had a very serious coronary; you’re lucky to be alive at all.

Anyone else would have been dead by now with the severity of this attack." The doctor paused, then cleared his throat, "I realize how difficult it must be for you to hear this, but I assure you it isn’t pleasant for me either." He got up abruptly and walked to the window, his back to Lester. "I wish there were something else I could say; I wish I could tell you that in a few months you’d be back to normal and could pick up your life where you left off," he paused, turning to face Lester quietly, "but I can’t. In all conscience, I can’t tell you that And I’m sorry."

Lester was angry now. "You’re sorry? Well, so am I! You saved my life … for what? So that I can be an invalid for the rest of it? What the hell kind of life are you giving me back anyway?"

Once started, he couldn’t stop. He raved on and on. All his frustration, rage and anger poured out until the sick feeling in the pit of his stomach finally rose to his throat and he began to cough and choke. The doctor held a basin for him while he gagged and heaved and finally fell back exhausted onto the pillows, his hand shaking as he reached up to wipe his mouth.

The doctor was shaking too as he carried the soiled basin to the bathroom. He carefully placed it on the floor, then hunched over the sink, one hand on each side of it supporting his weight, his forehead touching the cold mirror of the medicine chest on the wall.

In spite of all his years of practice, these situations still affected him. He thought of home and wished he were there now, his day over, relaxing before dinner with a drink or two. With a deep sigh, he pulled himself erect and walked back into the room.

"I’ll sign the discharge papers today, but you can stay on if you want," he said quietly "If you need more time to make your arrangements, I’ll tell the nurse it’s okay." He didn’t know what else to say.

Lester answered, "No, that’s all right, I’ll leave today, this afternoon. There doesn’t seem to be any point in prolonging it"

All right, whatever you decide is all right. But remember that you can change your mind and stay a bit longer if you want." He stood in silence for a moment, while he closely examined Lester’s ashen face. "Please be sure to take it easy when you get home. I can’t over emphasize the importance of that. You shouldn’t climb any stairs at all. And do you have shoes without laces; you know, loafers?"

"Loafers? No, why?"

"You might want to have someone buy you a pair. It’s better if you don’t have to bend over to tie your shoes. It puts an additional strain on your heart when you get into that position."

The idea struck Lester as ridiculous but all he said was "Okay, whatever you say." He’d always hated loafers but it didn’t matter now. Then as he watched the doctor walk toward the door, a question occurred to him. "Doc," he asked, "I’m not going to die, am I? I mean, I might have to kind of take it easy from here on, but I’m not going to die, right?"

Dr. Schultz stopped. "I don’t know," he answered, then turned to face Lester.
"I wish I could give you a positive answer, but I can’t.The truth is that I simply don’t know. You’ve had a massive heart attack and you could live for another year or two, or you could go tomorrow. I just don’t know."

Thanks for being honest with me, Doc. I’ll be seeing you."

Before listing my goals, here is something that I thought looked very promising as an aide to figuring out the “Internet Marketing” and not making money puzzle.

It’s presented by Tahir Shah & Chris Freeman, even though I learned about it from marketer Denise Hall.
What you see in the video below is a preliminary 6-minute view of a program being launched August 2nd.

Right now, however, after watching the 6-minute version, you can download the entire 36 minute video release at no cost prior to the actual release date.

The complete “How To Avoid The Marketing Nightmare” course includes these topics:

• The Mental Nightmare
• The Knowledge Nightmare
• The Action Nightmare
• The Sales Nightmare
• The Communication Nightmare
• The Money Nightmare

There are also six audios that accompany each video and full PDF transcripts of the series.

It’s that time of year again in Michigan when the sky is filled with brilliance. Thunderous booms can be heard throughout the night as they mix with the squeals and laughter of children. Usually the Detroit River is SO crowded with thousands of people that we go onto the Canadian side.

The view is absolutely gorgeous and we are able to sit right along the riverwalk without the loudness, the massive forced bonding with those next to you and enjoy the night stress free.
There are vendors along the way and the atmosphere is just radically different.

This year’s 49th fireworks event, also called the International Freedom Festival, is sponsored by Target. Next year, my husband Rel and I are considering renting a hotel room so the family can watch the fireworks from high above the river.

I wanted you to be able to enjoy some of the magic of this celebration so here are a few links and galleries you might enjoy looking at.

Have a great 4th of July celebration to those in the United States!

In a previous post about Vijay of Teach Me To Make Money Online
I posed a few questions to everyone out there in cyberspace and
mentioned that I would provide my responses later. Well, here are the
questions I asked and my personal responses to them.

This could be the start of a wonderful discussion. Ok fellow bloggers, here are my answers to these questions.

1. Which money making guru or teacher has influenced you the most since being online? Actually there were two individuals who led me to the thought of making money online back in the early nineties. They were Harmony Major (read more about her in my blogger reviews) and the late, great Corey Rudl, whom I dearly wish I had the chance to meet.
2. What helped you to move forward the most, and the fastest? I’ve
   been seriously searching for a way to earn a living from home,
   specifically the internet for a number of years. Several projects made
   money but nothing propelled me forward with as much understanding as
   attending a seminar in Chicago presented by the Internet Marketing Center . Then in October, I received an email regarding Lisa Diane and the 6M Profit Method.
3. What was the biggest lesson they taught you? Corey
   Rudl was a big influence in helping me believe that I could do this.
   That alone kept me plugging away and getting caught up trying to learn
   this or that, getting scammed like everyone else along the journey but
   never giving up total hope that making a living online was possible. I
   didn’t realize what was missing until I found the 6M Profit Method
   System. This method taught me about the 6 steps truly
   needed to succeed massively online, and how to apply them immediately.
   Thus the blog site you are reading now.

Who influenced you online? I would love for you all to post a comment and share your thoughts.
