The story is told of two boys who were walking through a field and found some corn seeds scattered across the ground. They each took one of the seeds home and planted it.
When the first boy didn’t see a tiny sprout after the second day, he dug up the seed to see if it had sprouted. Each day he dug up the seed and replanted it, but the corn would not grow. The seed had germinated; yet the boy had not allowed it to maintain contact with the soil, take root, and obtain nutrients. So, it died.
The second boy planted his seed and left it alone. He imagined a tall stalk of corn where he had planted the seed. He waited patiently as rains came and sunshine bathed the ground with warmth. In ten days, a small sprout had broken through the ground, its curled leaves reaching toward the sky.
Achieving any desire, whether large or small, begins with a seed sown in the mind. That seed is the vision of its fulfillment. It also requires the commitment to allow the vision to grow–the faith in God to do His part through storm, rain, and sunshine.
Commitment in daily life allows life’s storms to strengthen resolve. Resolve allows us to nurture a new dream, improve an existing dream, or even begin over if necessary. Faith allows acceptance of any circumstance as God’s blessing for ultimate growth.
A seed sown must be nourished with faith and belief. When you hold a picture of the final creation in your mind, you hold and maintain faith. You honor God’s desire to create something wonderful, and you honor His choice of your hands to help do the job.
How often do we plant the seed of a beautiful dream in the fertile soil of our minds, and then dig it up? What could you achieve if you allowed your seed to grow, continuing to focus your spiritual eyes on the harvest?
If it were not possible for you to achieve a dream, God would not have placed it in your heart and mind. Sow your seed, allow it to grow, and see an abundant harvest.

Would you like to feel and function like age 40 for an extra 25 years? Would you like to have a ton of energy, able to work at something you enjoy? Would you like to be free of many of the physical and mental problems generally considered age related?
You can do it.. Here are ten sure-fire rules to make it happen:
1. Love yourself. Not in a narcissistic sense, but in a spirit of gratitude for the marvelous mind and body your have been given. Those who appreciate what they have are less likely to indulge in food, alcohol, and tobacco abuse, and are less likely to neglect exercise and other anti-aging tactics.
2. Believe it’s possible to control the aging process. This rule is not easy to accept because life is finite. You look at how family, friends and peers age, and not one of them is getting younger. However, that doesn’t mean it’s not possible to Put Old on Hold. Recall a time in history when the most respected scientific minds decreed the earth was flat? It was an irrefutable truth until someone sailed off into the horizon and returned to talk about the adventure. We have an “earth is flat” mentality about the aging process. The reality is, we have more control than we think.
3. If you can believe it is possible to put old on hold, then visualize how you want to be when you are 60, 70 and beyond. You must have a clear picture of what you desire and commit to making it happen. That commitment will drive the choices you make about how you live, think and behave.
4. After you accept the first three rules, it’s essential to educate yourself about what constitutes a healthy anti-aging lifestyle. Your health is your number one priority. Nothing matters more. Pick up free magazines at health food stores - they contain informative, well-documented articles. Visit a bookstore and check out the wide variety of books about diet, supplements, and exercise. You must know as much about vitamins as you know about your favorite TV personalities. It’s not work, it’s an exciting journey. Read widely - do not latch on to the beliefs of any one health guru. Take your time. Evaluate everything you read. Be ready to change beliefs when it is obvious something else makes more sense.
5. Find a traditionally trained physician who has expertise in anti-aging nutrition and anti-aging medicine. This will help you reach your goal. Another caution: Do not “fall in love” with your anti-aging physician. Other doctors know even more and it is appropriate to shop around until you find someone who is really in harmony with your thinking and approach to anti-aging.
6. Engage in rigorous mental management. No more negative self talk such as “I must be getting old,” or “I’m too old to do that anymore,” or “I’m losing it.” Your subconscious is your obedient servant. It listens to everything you say or think about yourself and will help get you where it thinks you want to go, faster than you can imagine.
7. Control lazy, human nature. Even if it’s ten minutes of walking, do it on a regular basis. Do not engage in mental discussion about being too tired or some other excuse. Just do it. As middle age approaches control thoughts about entitlement. Do not expect or allow others to do for you what you are capable of doing for yourself. Unnecessary dependence is selfish, costly to self-esteem and hastens decline.
8. Do not allow negative comments from others about your appearance, health, or activities to throw you off track. Develop a bulletproof attitude about yourself. When asked how you are your response must always be, “I am terrific” and believe that you are!
9. Keep a running inventory of your youthful attributes. Only you can determine what they are, and the best way to discover what you value most is to observe old people. What do they do, or how do they live, think or behave that you consider “old”? When you decide what youthful attributes are important to you, make certain to stay focused on what you want to achieve.
10. Do not retire. If you are healthy, you cannot retire if want a fabulous second life at 60, 70 and beyond. Retirement expedites decline and a poverty-level lifestyle. By age 50 at the latest have an “exit plan” in place, so at 60 or 65, you can go on to a second career, go back to school, or start a new business.
You won’t be too tired for a second career if you have faithfully followed rules 4 and 5. If you have taken care of yourself early in life, you should be in reasonably good to excellent health later on, ready for more than a rocking chair, bingo games or a nursing home.
Those are the rules. Adopt them and put them into action.

Amadeus Home Music School finds a better way to teach music
Taking music lessons used to mean arranging your schedule to travel to the local piano studio or music store. It was inconvenient and most of the time you could only choose the more popular instruments such as piano, violin or guitar.
There was another problem as well. Most lessons were given in classes without individual personal attention. This was a great detriment to slower or less confident students.
Now there is a music school that does things differently. Amadeus Home Music School arranges to send a music teacher to your home. Hours are arranged to for the convenience of students and teachers are chosen not only for their musical abilities, but also for their customer service skills. Amadeus teachers bend over backwards to help their students learn well and quickly.
The school has been in business for only a little over year and business is booming. Amadeus Home Music School has teachers in every state and is soon to open its doors in the UK and Canada as well.
The demand for music lessons is growing, not only among children but also with adults who have more leisure time and want to realize their childhood dreams of mastering a musical instrument. At the same time as the interest in music is growing, school budgets are getting tighter and many smaller school districts can’t afford to hire full time music teachers. As a result Amadeus is getting more and more assignments for their teachers to teach at schools on as needed basis.
If you are considering music lessons for yourself or a family member you should take a look at what other people are saying about Amadeus Home Music SchoolAmadeus Home Music School.

Does this internet thing frighten YOU ? Are you really confused
with all the information overload and hypes about making money
online ? Are you frustrated as to how to get started and make
your internet financial dreams come true ?
Do you ask these questions…
* How to get started? * Can I make money online? * What should I
sell? * Will people buy my product? * How to design my site? *
How to automate my site? * How to drive traffic to my site?
Here are some excuses that newbies make…
* I am not creative. * I have no money to invest in my business.
* I have no technical skills. * I am confused. * I want a
readymade business and want to make money instantly, this is
just too tough for me.
Eyes popping on a screen with 100,000 channels totally confused,
hunting for a channel where dollars exist. Waiting for some
miracle to happen and praying to make millions overnight.
Lots of hypes and B.S. floating all around by some so-called
Gurus just to get those few bucks out of your pocket. Who must I
believe and not? Another big question.
But answer to ‘How can I achieve success?’ is no-where hidden in
answers to these above questions.
YOU and only YOU are responsible for your success or failure.
Make a firm determination ‘I will do it no matter what happens’
and believe me you will.
Success is within YOU and no where else. If you want to be big,
think BIG. You cannot get extraordinary results by doing
ordinary things.
Making it short…
* Have patience. * Be determined to succeed. * Copy and learn
from experts. * Above all have faith in God.
Check Out Your 8 Steps To Success…
1. Always think positive and be away from negativity. Life has
tremendous possibilities above our imagination. Take advantage
of it.
2. Strive to succeed. Never give up and never EVER quit. Try and
try till you succeed.
3. Work smart and learn everything YOU can. Key between success
and failure is know-how. Get it from experts and you will
SUCCEED.
4. DRIVE yourself with a burning desire to succeed. Stay focused
on your goals at all times.
5. Never run behind ‘get rich quick’ and ‘overnight millionaire’
schemes. Rather push up your creative juices and do something
different.
6. Always think BIG, be open-minded and have confidence in
yourself.
7. Never get upset from some initial failures. Step on them to
find your hidden success.
8. Once again, I repeat it several times; patience, passion,
persistency, commitment, determination, hardwork, vision and a
burning desire to succeed are the ONLY ways to massive success.
I believe I have charged YOU up for success.
NOW! Lets Be Practical…
I am just a 23-year-old ordinary guy from India and have been a
victim of tremendous fear in this internet jungle.
This entire article relates to my feelings, fear, frustration,
confusion and tears for the last three years. And it is quite
possible you might be at the same place where I was.
No guidance, no help, no advice, all alone in this jungle. My
biggest fear was of financial loss, which when comes to internet
can be as fast as water flows from a tap. And I know this fear
exists in thousands of newbies.
I am committed to help you, and get you out of this internet
jungle. The only requirement is your hardwork and a will to
succeed.
I wish you all the very best in this internet jungle and pray
for your success. Until next time, a well wisher and a caring
friend, Murtuza.
