From day one I have taught my kids that life is about choices. Our destination, where we end up, where we are now is all down to the choices we make on a daily basis - to take responsibility for where we are is in itself extremely empowering. If we believe that that someone else is responsible, believe that we had 'no choice' that leads to a feeling of hopelessness, and things are only hopeless if you choose to believe that. So if you have started this year not feeling great about where you are - take an honest evaluation of the choices you have made, accept that maybe all those choices might not have been the best ones and you are already on the road to a better life. You can choose to make better choices right now!
If you have come across something in life that you believe can work for you, something that will take you nearer to your dreams and goals, make a choice to grab it with both hands. Don't let friends, family or guys down the pub or club tell you it can't be done - what they are actually saying to you is they don't have the belief that they can do 'it'. You aren't them. Have courage - make life happen for you.
I came across this clip from Will Smith recently. Enspiring words:
My wish for you is that you truly live in and enjoy the choices you make. I hope every one takes you closer to that which will make you happy and your life fulfilled.
Make life magical. Have a great Day

I received this email today and decided that it was too good not to share. The message is simple and profound. Life is about choices.. we can choose to be happy, or not. We can choose to be as healthy as possible, or not. We can choose to wish for better things in life and work towards them, or not. We can choose to be a victim - or not. Life is about choices, make good ones.
A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with his hair fashionably combed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.
A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with his hair fashionably combed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.
His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.
As he manoeuvred his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on his window.
I love it,' he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.
Mr. Jones, you haven't seen the room; just wait.'
'That doesn't have anything to do with it,' he replied.
Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.
Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged ... it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it.
'It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away.. Just for this time in my life. Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what you've put in.
So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories!
Thank you for your part in filling my Memory Bank.
I am still depositing.
'Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

Seeing Kleeneze in another way......
I had an email today from someone who, after an initial conversation, seemed keen and capable of building a Kleeneze business so when I got an email to the contrary I was somewhat frustrated. Her reasons for not getting started were clear - not having a fixed income straight away would be a problem. It occurred to me that in the short window we have to talk to new prospects we rarely get the chance to help them see the full potential of what they have stumbled across. Clearly, from what I had come to learn about this lady and her partner they liked a challenge, weren't afraid of a bit of hard work and had big dreams. How could I help her to not let go of this opportunity before she I was sure I had done my job properly and highlighted all the benefits?
I agree completely that you need to have a fixed income and in the initial stages with Kleeneze this will be around £200 - £250 a month if done part-time, but this can grow extremely quickly. Some people do create full time incomes, often very large incomes by making cataloging a full time job right from the start, and if its the only way for some people to get out of a rut its a blessing, its hard work and not necessarily a path I recommend to people, unless it is their personal choice but its working for lots of people so if you aren't afraid of a bit of hard work, its a choice you can consider. Working it around either a full time job or another part-time job is a fantastic option in the beginning. A simple system, planned out and structured into you week will get anybody off to a great start. Kleeneze, being part of the Network Marketing Industry is designed to help people increase their income with the much needed flexibility to slot the extra work into the fabric of their daily lives. Anybody who needs extra money, needs to do some kind of extra work to get it, be it a part-time job or some kind of independent venture. The problems that arise with both these can be, in the case of part-time employment, restrictions on your time e.g. you must be working for someone else at set hours every week. Obviously if you are trying to fit this in around another job, the hours may clash or will undoubtedly be evenings or weekends and for usually minimum wage that will never increase, or if you choose an independent venture - maybe offering a service or selling goods you make or buy, the first problems here are finding clients or having the capital to get going.
With Kleeneze the initial stages are set up for you already. There is no stock to buy, no stock to house and the tools to find your customers are ready and waiting, you just have to use them. Most people start a Kleeneze business in their spare time. Of course if you work full-time, the time you devote to your business would still be weekends or evenings, but the difference is the hours are set by you, so if you have an important function or there are activities you do already that you don't want to give up, you don't have to because you can work around them. As with the case of the independent venture, yes, there is an investment but, you can choose how much you wish to invest from 'zero' upwards and even the largest investment is less than £200, whereas conventional s/e ventures can be very precarious when it comes to how much you are going to need to get going and it can be months if not years before you see a return. With Kleeneze you can recoup your investment in your first 4 weeks or even less.
MORE IMPORTANTLY: The other bonus to starting Kleeneze, and this is often not explained initially - mainly because we fear we will over complicate things, worried that we will scare people off by giving them too much information, when it is actually, in my opinion, one of the most important features of the business, is that the business model is designed so that you build, over time, a passive income. In today's society where so few people have a pension this is a massive massive plus. The only other way you can obtain these kind of royalty payments is by writing a book or recording a song etc. Does it happen overnight - no, absolutely not. Kleeneze is a way for ordinary people to earn an extra £50-£60 a week and help other people do the same. If you showed 10 people how they can earn an extra £50 a week that would earn you circa. £1500 a month passive income. To some people, an extra £50 a week could mean the difference between paying their mortgage or losing their home, running their car - maybe even making car payments, a holiday fund or money towards university costs.
Kleeneze is not a convincing business, so this kind of email is rarely sent. However, I am passionate about trying to show people what they have stumbled across when they find Kleeneze. You are going to need about 7 - 10 hours a week to get going - it's simple - you don't have to go into a warzone to do it, you don't have to sell your Granny and you may never have to borrow money ever again. Yes, you may get wet occasionally, but on the plus side, when the sun is shining you needn't be stuck in the office. You need to be 'tough, resilient, bouyant' - well if we are to trust what the media is saying "Tough times are coming" - you are going to need to be all those things anyway - Are you prepared?
