MY PET PEEVE REVEALED

MY PET PEEVE REVEALED

by Peter Wink 

 

One thing I want to say upfront is that all the information in my blog posts comes from my personal experience as well as that of others I know very well, or studied in-depth.  Please note that I'm in no way trying to sway your opinion, nor do I claim that any of my information will work for you --- or that I'm even right for that matter.  After all what's right for me, may not be for you --- and vice versa.  Information "just is."  I say with earnest, I have zero desire to be right and claim someone else is wrong.  That's a losing proposition.  It's all perspective and my ego is well rested.  Thankfully that's out of the way and you're still reading.  :-)                             
 

If there's one pet peeve I have it's this...

People Who Say They Will Do Things And Don't!

Sometime do an experiment. For one week, write down everything that people tell you they will do for you or themselves. Also, write down when it will supposedly be done. And don't leave anyone out...friends, spouse, family, co-workers, acquaintances, EVERYONE! Nobody is safe!

Then for the next 30 days, go back to your list and see what was really done. And then call people on it. Most will give you blank stares or a smug smirk. Some will act surprised and some will lie and say they have no idea what you're talking about. And then there's the very few who followed through. Thank God for those precious soles!

Bottom line: Never take anyone's word at face value until they've proven themselves consistently. There's an old saying - "You'll see it when you believe it." I'm changing it to "Only believe it when you see it!" Otherwise, you put on rose-colored glasses, become delusional, state goofy worthless positive affirmations to yourself, start believing in the minds-eye, the salesman takes you for everything you're worth, and then one day you end up locked in an institution wondering what just happened.

Think for yourself and make people earn your respect. And never believe anything anyone says who stands to profit from you - until they've proven worthy! Actions not words!

And please don't take this blog in a negative way until you try this experiment for yourself.

Think BIG, be fearless, and live today as if it's your last!

WATER!

WATER
by Peter Wink

Hi Everyone,

As you may know, I'm a health and fitness fanatic.

And one of my favorite subjects is the effect of water on the body. There is alarming research the everyone needs to know about water and the untold health benefits.

Dr. F. Batmaghelidj wrote his first self-help book “Your Body’s Many Cries for Water” in 1992, in which he stated that a dry mouth is not a reliable indicator of dehydration. The body signals its water shortage by producing pain. Dehydration actually produces pain and many degenerative diseases, including asthma, arthritis, hypertension, angina, adult-onset diabetes, lupus and multiple sclerosis. Dr. B’s message to the world is, “You are not sick, you are thirsty. Don’t treat thirst with medication.”

Here are a couple questions and answers that are mind-boggling...

1. WHAT SHOULD WE DRINK? WHAT SHOULDN’T WE DRINK?

We are designed to drink pure, natural water.

- Avoid sodas/soft drinks to provide your fluid needs. The high sugar content and artificial flavors in soft drinks are harmful to your health.

- Tea, coffee, soft drinks contain water, but the diuretics contained in these caffineated beverages flush water out of your body. Don’t count on them to replenish fluid loss.

- It is OK to drink them occasionally, but if you drink them constantly and don’t drink enough pure natural water, then you are severely compromising your long-term health.

- Natural pure distilled water is the best choice. If you are committed to a healthy lifestyle and long-term health, make water a habit and a priority in your life.

2. CAN WE DRINK TOO MUCH WATER?

During intense exercise the kidneys cannot excrete excess water. The extra water moves into the cells, including brain cells. The result can be fatal. For that reason, athletes should estimate how much they should drink by weighing themselves before and after long training runs to see how much they lose, and thus how much water and salt they should replace.

The studies that found 13% of the runners tested drank too much water, resulting in abnormally low blood sodium levels. The low sodium levels made many of these people very sick, and close to the point of death. The importance lesson here is to balance your water intake with your sodium intake.

And here's one more bonus question...

3. WHAT ABOUT FILTER AND FILTERED WATER?

It is always wise to get a filter if you are not sure how safe your tap water is.

There are many water filter products on the market at many different prices. To shop for a good filter, you need to know what a filter factually reduces, or removes, and what it costs. Ideally, you want water that has been filtered via a reverse osmosis process that removes chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride, bacteria, and viruses.

If you want to read a terrific book, get "Water For Health, For Healing, For Life" by Dr. F. Batmaghelidj.

Even if you're not a health nut - this book will be an eye-opener for you! (Thanks to Barton Blankenburg, one of my best friends, for turning me on to Dr. Batmaghelidj's work!)

Time for a drink of water.

Until next time...

DON'T QUIT! THANKS TO JOEL OSTEEN!

DON'T QUIT!
by Peter Wink 

Hi Everyone,

I found this really profound poem online and wanted to share it with you during these testing times.

It's called...

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Excellent passage huh?

I remember a time not too long ago when I was concerned about something not turning out as planned. That morning for know apparent reason, I flipped on cable and there was the legendary Joel Osteen - who I'd never seen before. (I'm not religious, but thought --- why not? There was some reason I turned on the station at that time and I decided to follow through on my hunch.)

He made the comment that you never know what the next 72 hours will bring and you have to stick to your guns.

Somehow I knew that message was for me. The event I was concerned about worked out in just under 72 hours. Thanks Joel! :-)

Bottom line -----

Never quit!

Gotta run!

Until next time...

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE NUMBER ONE!

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE NUMBER ONE
by Peter Wink 

Hi Everyone,

I love the famous "What It Takes To Be Number One Speech" by Vince Lombardi.

"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that's first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it's for losers. It is, and always has been, an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.

Every time a football player goes to ply his trade he's got to play from the ground up - from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That's OK. You've got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.

Running a football team is no different than any other kind of organization - an army, a political party or a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win - to beat the other guy. Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don't think it is.

It is a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men. That's why they are there - to compete. The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules, but to win.

And in truth, I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline. There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head to head combat.

I don't say these things because I believe in the "brute" nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear - is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."

Please let this speech inspire you to "keep on keeping on" no matter what you face in 2016!

Gotta run!

Until next time...

WHAT IS A FRIEND?

WHAT IS A FRIEND?
by Peter wink 

Hi Everyone,

How do you define a friend?

According to Websters.com, a friend is...

1. a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.
2. a person who gives assistance; patron; supporter: friends of the Boston Symphony.
3. a person who is on good terms with another; a person who is not hostile: Who goes there? Friend or foe?
4. a member of the same nation, party, etc.
5. (initial capital letter) a member of the Religious Society of Friends; a Quaker.
–verb (used with object)
6. Rare. to befriend.
—Idiom
7. make friends with, to enter into friendly relations with; become a friend to.

I personally don't buy into the scholarly stuff above.

I look at it like this...

• I've had feelings for many people who are NOT friends!
• I've had people assist me and people I've assisted that are NOT friends!
• I've had many people that I've been on good terms with that are NOT friends!
• I've been a member of many things - NOT one friend to be found!
• I've worked with thousands of people in my life and did NOT be-friend any!

So what gives here? Why is this?


Maybe it all lies in the fact, that we all have a different definition of a friend.

I think that the late legendary philosopher, Jim Rohn, said it best...

A friend is a person who you can call if you were locked in a third-world country - that would do everything it takes to rescue you. They would fly where they had to fly. Talk to who they had to talk to. Scheme and keep scheming. Pay what they have to pay. And stay there until they get the job done - no matter what (or how high) the cost. Now that is a friend!

A friend is NOT necessarily...
- A person in your family you sees on occasion - when it is convenient!
- One of your idiot co-workers who sucks up to you!
- Someone who calls you once or twice a year!
- Your boss or other superior who pretends to do things for you!

I like the concept of having a friend. Luckily I have two that fall into this definition - you may not be so lucky or maybe your luckier. I don't know.

I wrote this blog because I'm sick of hearing people talking about how many friends they have and fooling themselves. I'm also sick of all the naive people who are so disappointed when they're so-called friends abandon them when they really need something. Or their friends all disappear when the going gets tough.

Why does this seem to happen all the time?

Get a clue my friend - they're not likely a real friend!

Before you judge me - think real hard about what I'm saying.

Also, in closing...

If you expect someone to be a friend - you must also be one.

Until next time...
Peter

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A LEADER

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A LEADER
by Peter Wink



One thing I want to say upfront is that all the information in my blog posts comes from my personal experience as well as that of others I know very well, or studied in-depth.  Please note that I'm in no way trying to sway your opinion, nor do I claim that any of my information will work for you --- or that I'm even right for that matter.  After all what's right for me, may not be for you --- and vice versa.  Information "just is."  I say with earnest, I have zero desire to be right and claim someone else is wrong.  That's a losing proposition.  It's all perspective and my ego is well rested.  Thankfully that's out of the way and you're still reading.  :-)                             

Now on to the my thoughts...

To be a leader of an organization, or any other team/group/individual, requires one to possess a few very important characteristics which I'm going to share in a moment.

First and foremost always consider that you can't give what you don't possess.  So to instill these characteristics in others, you must possess as many of them as possible or you may find yourself having a credibility issue.  Consider working at them daily and eventually they'll form a rock solid foundation for leadership built on strength, character, logic, ability, wisdom, and trust.  The marks of a GREAT leader!  (Remember --- you can't build a foundation for a skyscraper on matchsticks.)          

Here are what I believe to be of vital importance when it comes to being a leader.             


To become a leader you must...

• Always speak your mind
• Lead others with their best interests at heart
• Demonstrate far reaching vision
• Hire the best people and fire the worst
• Train people properly
• Lead by example
• Look for the good in everyone
• Treat others as they want to be treated
• Have compassion for those less fortunate
• Grow those with ambition
• Be kind to everyone around you
• Ignore naysayers
• Surround yourself with top talent and strong mentors
• Take the bull by the horns
• Build your talent
• Delegate task to others
• Turn weaknesses into strengths
• Make decisions from sound logic; and not from fear
• Educate yourself in our field of interest
• Be stingy with advice
• Stay positive even in the worst of scenarios   
• Treat your significant other like gold
• Feed your body healthy, life-filled foods
• Get regular rest and exercise as often as possible
• Plan and act
• Take consistent action
• Get over procrastination
• Spend time with those who have your back
• Trust only those who have earned it
• Attack only when the time is right
• Stay patient when everyone else is frantic
• Build future leaders 
• Lead by example

If this resonates with you, consider working at each characteristic each day.  Let each build on each other until you form a rock-solid foundation as a leader.


Think BIG, be fearless, and live today as if it's your last!

How to be powerful in the face of YOUR fears!

Hi Everyone,

It has been a busy Thanksgiving Day so far.

One of the highlights of the day was listening to a program in my car called...

The Art of Fearbusting by an old friend - Dr. Susan Jeffers.










One of the reasons I listen to this program over and over is to remind myself that I cannot live in fear or make decisions out of fear. Fear is an emotion and emotions cloud judgment. If you do not have this CD - click on the link above and get it ASAP!

Susan is one of two people I know who truly lives a life where fear does not rule her life. My boss and good friend, marketing legend Kevin Trudeau is the other. We'll save that for another post.

I just came across an article by Susan Jeffers that I want to share with you called...

The Art of Fearbusting - How to Be Powerful in the Face of Our Fears
By: Susan Jeffers

You can access it here.

Here is one of my favorite passages from Susan's article...

Remember the three miracle words: I’ll handle it. At the bottom of every one of your fears is that you won’t be able to handle what life brings you. But if you knew that you could handle anything that came your way, you’d have nothing to fear. Tell yourself I’ll handle it a hundred times a day. Write it on a note and tape it to your mirror. Imprint it on your subconscious. It will free you from the need to constantly agonize over the “what ifs” and the need to control the behavior of everyone around you.

Susan is brilliant and one of the only authors who is the real deal!

I'm off now to Wildfire restaurant in Chicago to celebrate Thanksgiving with a great friend and then off to my in-laws to wrap up the night.

It may sound cliche but I truly believe that the only thing to fear is fear itself.

Hopefully this post helped someone out there. :-)

Gotta run!

Hi Everyone,

It's called...

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,

A GREAT recommendation for anyone into the Law of Attraction!

Hi Everyone,

Geez...I'm getting bad at keeping up with my blogging!

Today, I want to recommend a great audio program to all the Law of Attraction folks out there.

It's called...

The Law of Attraction CD Collection by Esther Hicks and Jerry Hicks


















This is the best set of audios I've ever heard on the Law of Attraction - bar none.

The program is comprised of three of the most popular audio programs by Esther and Jerry Hicks (who present the teachings of the Non-Physical consciousness Abraham):

1. Ask and It Is Given: The Law of Attraction: You’ll come to understand how your relationships, health issues, finances, career concerns and more are all influenced by this Universal Law; and you’ll realize that it’s your birthright to live a life filled with everything that is good!

2. Ask and It Is Given: The Processes: A series of 22 Processes assists you in reconnecting with the "Non-Physical" part of yourself, which will help you achieve anything you desire. As you apply these Processes, your naturally joyful zest for life will be reawakened!

3. The Law of Attraction: The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham: This is the series of recordings that launched the basic Teachings of Abraham. You’ll see how all things, wanted and unwanted, are brought to you by the Law of Attraction (that which is like unto itself, is drawn).

I like these CDs so much, I'm going through them for the third time and applying what I've been learning.

You can get them here.

For me, I find that I attract what I want by knowing what I want, believing I'll get it and sticking to a high standard when it comes to what I accept in my life. No compromising - that's for losers!

I'm outta here!

Until next time...

Water - the #1 wonder of the HEALTH world!

Hi Everyone,

As you may know, I'm a health and fitness fanatic.

And one of my favorite subjects is the effect of water on the body. There is alarming research the everyone needs to know about water and the untold health benefits.

Everything you need to know is at one of my favorite websites "Water Cure."

The site contains the work of water researcher F. Batmanghelidj, M.D.

















Dr. F. Batmaghelidj wrote his first self-help book “Your Body’s Many Cries for Water” in 1992, in which he stated that a dry mouth is not a reliable indicator of dehydration. The body signals its water shortage by producing pain. Dehydration actually produces pain and many degenerative diseases, including asthma, arthritis, hypertension, angina, adult-onset diabetes, lupus and multiple sclerosis. Dr. B’s message to the world is, “You are not sick, you are thirsty. Don’t treat thirst with medication.”

To learn some of the most profound things about water and health and fitness in general click here.

Here are a couple questions and answers that are mind-boggling...

1. WHAT SHOULD WE DRINK? WHAT SHOULDN’T WE DRINK?

We are designed to drink pure, natural water.

- Avoid sodas/soft drinks to provide your fluid needs. The high sugar content and artificial flavors in soft drinks are harmful to your health.

- Tea, coffee, soft drinks contain water, but the diuretics contained in these caffineated beverages flush water out of your body. Don’t count on them to replenish fluid loss.

- It is OK to drink them occasionally, but if you drink them constantly and don’t drink enough pure natural water, then you are severely compromising your long-term health.

- Natural pure water is the best choice. If you are committed to a healthy lifestyle and long-term health, make water a habit and a priority in your life.

2. CAN WE DRINK TOO MUCH WATER?

During intense exercise the kidneys cannot excrete excess water. The extra water moves into the cells, including brain cells. The result can be fatal. For that reason, athletes should estimate how much they should drink by weighing themselves before and after long training runs to see how much they lose, and thus how much water and salt they should replace.

The studies that found 13% of the runners tested drank too much water, resulting in abnormally low blood sodium levels. The low sodium levels made many of these people very sick, and close to the point of death. The importance lesson here is to balance your water intake with your sodium intake.

And here's one more bonus question...

3. WHAT ABOUT FILTER AND FILTERED WATER?

It is always wise to get a filter if you are not sure how safe your tap water is.

There are many water filter products on the market at many different prices. To shop for a good filter, you need to know what a filter factually reduces, or removes, and what it costs. Ideally, you want water that has been filtered via a reverse osmosis process that removes chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride, bacteria, and viruses.



















If you want to read a terrific book, get "Water For Health, For Healing, For Life" by Dr. F. Batmaghelidj by clicking here.

Even if you're not a health nut - this book will be an eye-opener for you! (Thanks to Barton Blankenburg, one of my best friends, for turning me on to Dr. Batmaghelidj's work!)

Time for a drink of water.

Until next time...

How to stop worrying and start living

Hi Everyone,

One of the things I have learned to conquer is fear and worry.

Before you declare me a fraud, hear me out...

I'm not saying that I do not have monetary fears. We all do. The difference is that I quickly get over them before they consume too much time, emotion, money, effort and good health.

You may or may not know I'm a huge fan of Dale Carnegie - and I love his book (which I read at least once a year) called How To Stop Worrying and Start Living.



















If you suffer from fear and worry - you NEED to read this book ASAP!

Here are PHENOMENAL excerpts fro the book ---

Fundamental facts you should know about worry

1. If you want to avoid worry, do what Sir William Osler did: Live in "day-tight compartments." Don't stew about the futures. Just live each day u ntil bedtime.

2. The next time Trouble--with a Capital T--backs you up in a corner, try the magic formula of Willis H. Carrier:

- Ask yourself, "What is the worst that can possibly happen if I can't solve my problem?
- Prepare yourself mentally to accept the worst--if necessary.
- Then calmly try to improve upon the worst--which you have already mentally agreed to accept.
- Remind yourself of the exorbitant price you can pay for worry in terms of your health. "Those who do not know how to fight worry die young."

Basic techniques in analyzing worry

1. Get the facts. Remember that Dean Hawkes of Columbia University said that "half the worry in the world is caused by people trying to make decisions before they have sufficient knowledge on which to base a decision."

2. After carefully weighing all the facts, come to a decision.

3. Once a decision is carefully reached, act! Get busy carrying out your decision--and dismiss all anxiety about the outcome.

4. When you, or any of your associates, are tempted to worry about a problem, write out and answer the following questions:

- What is the problem?
- What is the cause of the problem?
- What are all possible solutions?
- What is the best solution?

How to break the worry habit before it breaks you

1. Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best therapies ever devised for curing "wibber gibbers."

2. Don't fuss about trifles. Don't permit little things--the mere termites of life--to ruin your happiness.

3. Use the law of averages to outlaw your worries. Ask yourself: "What are the odds against this thing's happening at all?"

4. Co-operate with the inevitable. If you know a circumstance is beyond your power to change or revise, say to yourself: "It is so; it cannot be otherwise."

5. Put a "stop-less" order on your worries. Decide just how much anxiety a thing may be worth--and refuse to give it anymore.

6. Let the past bury its dead. Don't saw sawdust.

Seven ways to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness

1. Let's fill our minds with thoughts of peace, courage, health, and hope, for "our life is what our thoughts make it."

2. Let's never try to get even with our enemies, because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. Let's do as General Eisenhower does: let's never waste a minute thinking about people we don't like.

3. Instead of worrying about ingratitude, let's expect it. Let's remember that Jesus healed ten lepers in one day--and only one thanked Him. Why should we expect more gratitude than Jesus got? Let's remember that the only way to find happiness is not to expect gratitude--but to give for the joy of giving. Let's remember that gratitude is a "cultivated" trait; so if we want our children to be grateful, we must train them to be grateful.

4. Count your blessings--not your troubles!

5. Let's not imitate others. Let's find ourselves and be ourselves, for "envy is ignorance" and "imitation is suicide."

6. When fate hands us a lemon, let's try to make a lemonade.
7. Let's forget our own unhappiness--by trying to create a little happiness for others. "When you are good to others, you are best to yourself."

The perfect way to conquer worry

1. Prayer

How to keep from worrying about criticism

1. Unjust criticism is often a disguised compliment. It often means that you have aroused jealousy and envy. Remember that no one ever kicks a dead dog.

2. Do the very best you can; and then put up your old umbrella and keep the rain of criticism from running down the back of your neck.

3. Let's keep a record of the fool things we have done and criticize ourselves. Since we can't hope to be perfect, let's do what E.H. Little did: let's ask for unbiased, helpful, constructive criticism.

Six ways to prevent fatigue and worry and keep your energy and spirits high

1. Rest before you get tired.

2. Learn to relax at your work.

3. Learn to relax at home.

4. Apply these four good workings habits:

- Clear your desk of all papers except those relating to the immediate problem at hand.
- Do things in the order of their importance.
- When you face a problem, solve it then and there if you have the facts to make a decision.
- Learn to organize, deputize, and supervise.

5. To prevent worry and fatigue, put enthusiasm into your work.

6. Remember, no one was ever killed by lack of sleep. It is worrying about insomnia that does the damage--not the insomnia.

If this can't help you, I'm speechless!

Get the book and practice the tactics OR quit your whining!
