What If?
"What If?" I love "what if" questions. With the political season a series of lies on both sides and fear producing on both sides, I asked myself a "What if" question. "What if, we changed the whole campaign process. What if, who ever wants to be President of the United States has be pay a 1 million to 5 million entry fee. The money from all the interested candidates would go into the US Treasury for help pay off the national debt. The interested candidates would write a essay explaining why they wanted to be President. Their party, their gender, their race, their identity would not be revealed. The citizens of the US would have three months to read the essays and vote for their favorite.
The accounting group that keeps the Oscars a secret, would be responsible for keeping the essay writers a secret. The essays could be printed in Spanish or other languages for those unable to read English. This seems to me to be as good a way to elect a President as we have now. I don't have a problem that maybe the best writer, or the candidate, who gets the best writer would win.
The person who wins the election could than choose their Vice-President as they do now.
When you look at our past Presidents, this essay political system seems to me to be as good a way as we do now. And we would not spend the ridiculous amount of money that we now spend.
What do you think?

The Adventures of Dick and Jane
Dick and Jane were very happy with their lives, for the most part. They had married, it was inevitable, considering all the stories that Dick and Jane appeared in. They knew each other very well, and they grow up together, although it took them three times as long as most people. They were seven or eight for about twenty years, and then all of a sudden once they got out of the spotlight, they aged very quickly. Well, not that quickly. They are only thirty years old, where they should be in their fifties, or sixties, as most of us that read their books are.
So Dick and Jane are in their thirties and proud parents of Harry and Harriett. They like the name Harry. In fact their liking of the name Harry was the reason they came to me as a Life Coach. They found themselves enable to accomplish much as they found themselves listening to Harry Lillis Crosby (Bing Crosby) songs, as well as Harry Connick Jr. music. They even discovered Harry Chapin, who was a folk-rock troubadour of the baby boom generation. He was particularly known for his "story-songs"; his most well known song "Cat's In The Cradle" (1974) the cautionary tale of an absentee father. And they could not get enough of Harry Belafonte.
They found themselves reading everything they could about Harry Houdini, who was the most influential magician of the 20th century. His specialty was escapes: slipping out of ropes, chains and handcuffs while locked in trunks and milk cans or submerged underwater. (He once jumped into San Francisco Bay while handcuffed and shackled to a ball and chain.) They read everything they could about the Sundance Kid, the outlaw, whose name was Harry Alonzo Longabough. Harry Truman of course is their favorite President and they have read everything they can find about him. Prince Harry is of course their favorite English monarch. They hate Prince William and any mention of him makes their blood boil. Even the actor and comedian Harry Shearer, they can't get enough of. They have all the Simpson's TV episodes and of course The Simpson's Movie.
As you can tell it was quite an addiction that Dick and Jane presented me with. I had many issues to "coach around" with them. Because they couldn't leave their house I had to come to them, which I gladly did. I felt excited about this challenge to help Dick and Jane, since they had so helped me to read.
Before I go any further I need to let you know, that I am only sharing this story with you only because Dick and Jane gave me permission. They want you to know how I truly helped them.
As you can probably tell this is all a MADE UP STORY. It was my way to get your attention. As many of you know I am a Certified Life Coach. I got certified through the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, in Tempe, Arizona. It is a great program. I highly recommend it, plus their other classes. Anyway, I am very excited about Life Coaching and my intention is to do Life Coaching along with doing presentation, keynotes, and workshops.
My mission in life is to help people believe in themselves. To help people realize that they can have passion, creativity, fun, and laughter in their lives. That life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
So, here is the deal to help people do this I need you to help me get started. To get started I am offering this deal.
1. Two coaching sessions- the first one half price ($50) and the second one free. This is a $150 value.
2. Coaching session can be over the phone, in person, or on-line.
3. Money back guarantee. If you do not experience at least one major AWE or INSIGHT your fee will be returned to you.
So if you want to be like Dick and Jane and start creating the LIFE YOU WANT AND DESERVE, I look forward to working with you. My contact information is below.

How to Remember Jokes
If you are like many people you have a hard time remembering a good joke. I am here today to help you with that. There are two ways to remember a joke. The first is to write it down, immediately, after you hear it. Make sure you write the whole thing down, especially the punch line.
Most all jokes are made up of two parts. The set-up and the punch line. The set-up explains the joke, and the punch-up line takes the joke in a different direction. Example: Where there is a will (Set-up). I sure hope I'm in it (Punch-line).Example: My husband put magic into my life (Set-up). By disappearing (Punch-line).
So write the joke down completely. If you can't write the joke down, share it with someone immediately. We think we will remember the joke to tell later, however, most the time we forget. We especially forget the punch-line. So, as a rule you don't want more than one minute to go between hearing the joke and telling it to someone else.
In telling the joke always pause between the set-up and punch-line. After the set-up pause for about three seconds before you tell the punch-line.
Lastly you want to avoid doing these thing:
1. Tell everyone how funny the joke is before you tell it. You are setting yourself up for no one laughing.You are raising the expectations too high.
2. Add to the joke make the set-up too long, or the punch-line too long.
3. Take too much away from the joke, especially part of or the whole punch-line.
The more you tell jokes the more comfortable you get with them. Jokes, and humor works better if it is connecting, so avoid jokes that might offend some people. If you have any questions about whether to tell a joke or not, don't tell it.
Below are some examples of jokes:
My husband and I shared one thing in common (Set-up). We both loved him (Punch-line).
I have two children (Set-up) that I know of (Punch-line).
Achilles' mother: "Stop whining (Set-up)! There's nothing wrong with your heel (Punch-line)
My husband and I were in the country a few weeks ago. We were standing in front of a wishing well, and he fell in. (Set-up). I never dreamed those things worked (Punch-line).
Did you enjoy the food, sir (Set-up)? I could get more nourishment biting my lip. (Punch-line).

The 10 Greatest Campaign Slogans
With the election heating up I thought you all might enjoy this from Brendan Spiegel from the September/October issue of "Mental Floss."
1. Voters didn't know much about Democrat Franklin Pierce when he headed into the 1852 election, so Pierce decided to cast himself as the rightful heir to popular ex-president James K. Polk. Pierce's pun of a slogan" WE POLKED YOU IN '44, WE SHALL PIERCE YOU IN '52. It may sound oddly threatening now, but it did the trick. Pierce beat his Whig opponent in a landslide.
2. Modern-day politicians make some pretty outlandish campaign pledges, but giving away government property has to take the cake. That's what Abraham Lincoln did in 1860 when he ran for the White House under the slogan, VOTE YOURSELF A FARM- a bold promise to give settlers free land throughout the West. To his credit, however, Lincoln followed through and signed the Homestead Act in 1862.
3. Modern politicians didn't invent you're-either-with-us-or against-us politics. Way back in 1868, General Ulysses S. Grant rode his Civil War victories into the White House with the slogan VOTE AS YOU SHOT- a direct order to Union voters to toe the Republican line.
4. The award for quickest about face on a campaign slogan goes to Woodrow Wilson, who campaigned for re-election in 1916 with the motto, HE KEPT US OUT OF WAR. Americans voted with him in an effort to keep the peace, but five months later, Wilson led the country into World War 1.
5. Prohibition was all the rage in 1920, much to the dismay of Democratic nominee James M. Cox, who believed making alcohol illegal only benefited criminals and bootleggers. His opponent, Warren G. Harding, attacked Cox for this stance and ridiculed him with the slogan COX AND COCKTAILS. Ironically, after Harding won the presidency in a landslide, he was well-known to enjoy stiff drinks in the comfort of the White House.
6. Kansas Governor Alfred Landon emphasized his heartland roots during the 1936 election by adorning his campaign paraphernalia with bright yellow sunflowers. In response, opponent Franklin D. Roosevelt and his Democratic supporters went right for the kill, pointing out that SUNFLOWERS DIE IN NOVEMBER. They were right; Landon won just two states. Kansas wasn't one of them.
7. When F.D.R. sought an unprecedented third term during the 1940 presidential race, it incited a backlash among those who felt it was time to move on. His Republican opponent, Wendell Willkie, got right to the point, stamping his campaign buttons with the slogan ROOSEVELT FOR EX-PRESIDENT.
8. Republican nominee Barry Goldwater inspired a legion of impassioned conservatives in 1964 with his slogan IN YOUR HEART YOU KNOW HE'S RIGHT. But Lyndon Johnson's Democratic campaign came up with a response that more effectively branded Goldwater as a right-wing extremist: IN YOUR GUTS,YOU KNOW HE'S NUTS.
9. After unexpectedly winning the 1976 Democratic primary, Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter sought to stress his humble roots as a peanut farmer and also prove that he was a candidate to take seriously. He did both with his slogan, NOT JUST PEANUTS.
10. Senator Barack Obama my have shown up at the right time with his "CHANGE" campaign, but he's not the first Democrat to try this approach. The party's 1984 nominee, Walter Mondale, campaigned with the slogan AMERICA NEEDS A CHANGE.Unfortunately for Mondale, America disagreed, and 49 states voted for incumbent Ronald Reagan.

"You Can't Travel Within and Stand Still Without"
Looking through my posts I realized that this is the second blog I have written on this same quote. Evidently this quote is very important to me now and my hope is that maybe you need to see it again too.
The above quote is from James Allen and " As a Man Thinketh." We are always so quick to blame other people for our failures and sorrows in life. We think, "If only I had better parents." "If my boss wasn't such a jerk." "It is all my spouse or partner's fault." "The economy is bad." It is too hot, cold, rainy, sunny to do anything." I am too poor, old, young, uneducated, unlucky."
Take your pick as these are all excuses many of us use to stop us from having or living the life we want. When we blame another, we are not acknowledging that we are the main creator of our own lives.
We need to go inside and examine our character, examine our thoughts, examine our feeling, examine our behavior. We need to acknowledge that no one can mess up our lives unless we allow them to. I think Allen is suggesting in this quote that when we do inside work, our outside circumstances will improve.
Stephen Covey in the book, "The 8Th Habit," says something very similar. He says, "Any time you think the problem is out there, that very thought is the problem. Any time you wrap your emotional life around the weaknesses of another person, you give away your emotional freedom to that person and give them permission to continue to mess up your life. Your past holds your future hostage."
It is not easy to do the inside work, of self-reflection and soul searching. It is not easy to acknowledge your role in the difficulties of your life. However I think that working inside out is the only way to true happiness and that makes it worth it.
And isn't that something to think and write about?

I Will See It When I Believe It
I was talking to my son and I said, "I will see it when I believe it." He said, "What did you say?" I realized that I had meant to say, "I will believe it when I see it." But after thinking for a second, I realized how powerful, "I will see it when I believe it," really is.
I thought that I had come up with a wonderful new quote, only to find that Dr. Wayne Dyer had written a book with a similar title. I have not read the book but this is a powerful concept. If we can see something being in our life we can create it. If I can see my son being successful I can start believing the possibility of it happening. More important my belief in him may influence his belief in himself.
Our beliefs influence our behavior, which in turn, influence our results. Changing how we see the world will change our behavior and give us different results. As Stephen Covey points out everything is created twice. We create something first mentally, than physically.
One of my favorite quotes is, "We don't see the world as it is, we see the world as we are." If we see the world as abundant and good, it will be. If we see the world as sparse and bad, it will be. We have the choice to choose the world the way we want. So, "I Will See It When I Believe It," is powerful. And that is something to think and write about.

WARNING: At the end of this Playshop you may find that you aren’t as Seriously Impaired as you thought. It might just turn you from a SUSWIAR (Seriously Uptight Stressed, Who is Always Right) person to a FFRWIOTNI (Fun Flexible Relaxed, Who is Open to New Ideas) person. Just a warning, so you can’t say you were not warned.
