Grip Success

By Joe Vitale 2 comments

A few months ago I bought a Captain of Crush hand gripper.
This exercise tool helps build strong hands, wrists and forearms. I’ve used them before, but they were always of minimal strength resistance.

The kind you can buy at the local store is nothing compared to the kind muscle builders and old school strength trainers use. Some of the “captain of crush” hand grippers can only be closed by two or three men on the entire planet.

I decided to take on the personal challenge of increasing my own hand strength by getting a truly hard to close gripper.
The first one I bought was a challenge for me to close even once. But I left it out on the kitchen counter and every day I would pick it up and squeeze it. After a few weeks it was a snap to close ten or twelve times.
I then bought a more resistant gripper. When it arrived, I had the same challenge. I couldn’t squeeze it shut at first. But I left this one on the kitchen counter, too, and every time I walked by it, I picked it up and squeezed. After a few weeks, I could close it multiple times.
I then bought an even more powerful hand gripper. When it arrived, I couldn’t even budge it. I couldn’t squeeze it at all. But I left it on the kitchen counter and every day picked it up and tried again. Today I can budge it a little, and soon I’ll be able to close it.
The point of this story is that you can succeed at anything challenging if you work at it just a little every day.
Ao Akua,
Joe
PS – The best place to get hand grippers and learn more about hand, wrist and forearm strength training is at www.functionalhandstrength.com/ The site is run by the incredibly prolific (and I bet strong) John Wood. Tell him I sent you.

The Divine Matrix

By Joe Vitale 3 comments

I just finished reading one of the most riveting books of 2006 — The Divine Matrix by Gregg Braden.
I haven’t underlined, highlighted and page bent so many times in a book since I don’t know when.
Braden is the author of numerous books, from The God Code to Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer.
The Divine Matrix, his latest gem, is a blend of science and spirituality with some storytelling thrown in to bring it all to life.
The whole idea is that we live in and are a “divine matrix.” We can communicate with this matrix and change our lives with feeling and intention — the cornerstones of my book, The Attractor Factor, and the movie, The Secret.
Braden takes it to a whole new level by describing our three primary fears (they aren’t what you think) and offers 20 keys to conscious creation.
I love seeing my mystical hero Neville quoted so much. Neville often said that your imagination is God. The way to communicate with the matrix is with your imagination and emotion. Neville called it feeling the end result.
I also love that Braden says, “We are not bound by the laws of physics as we know them today.”
That is an incredibly liberating statement.
I think the book is missing a key ingredient, though.
It doesn’t fully explain that feeling what you want as if you already have it, while letting go of any attachment to getting what you want, is the real key to success.
It mentions both elements, but not in a way that really gets the point across.
The point, to me, is that you must entirely let go and only feel love in order to communicate with the matrix and bring peace to yourself, and through you to the world.
I explain how to do this in the book I just finished writing with Dr. Hew Len, Zero Limits. It will be out Summer, 2007. If you want a small taste of my new book right now, send a blank email to [email protected]
Meanwhile, there’s much to chew on in Braden’s book.
I suggest you get it.
Ao Akua,
Joe
PS — If you prefer to listen rather than read, Braden has several audio programs with Nightingale-Conant, the publisher of my own program, The Power of Outrageous Marketing. One of his is called The Spontaneous Healing of Belief. Click the images below to learn more about his product or mine.

PPS – The famous “I love you” recording by Pat O’Bryan and me can help you feel love more of the time, which is the best way to communicate with the Divine: www.milagroresearchinstitute.com/iloveyou.htm Go see. I love you.

Three Resources for a Blue Christmas

By Joe Vitale No comments yet

If you are having a difficult time today — the holidays can be the bluest time of the year — here are a couple of immediate resources for you:

http://www.thework.com/network/hotline.cfm

http://www.unityonline.org/pray_submitprayerrequest.htm

I have not used either service, but I imagine either could help you get through the day.

Both are free.

Ao Akua,

PS – The subliminal DVD I released last week can also help you. It will help you forgive yourself and others so you can experience love again. It’s described at www.SubliminalManifestation.com

POP!

By Joe Vitale 1 comment

I’m spending this cold, rainy day before the holiday celebrating the completion of my next book, reading a riveting new one, and resisting temptation.

My next book is called Zero Limits and will be out this summer. I think it’s the most important and most powerful book I’ve written to date.

The book I’m reading is POP! Stand Out in Any Crowd by Sam Horn. It’s a fun read as well as brain stretching one designed to help you come up with catchy phrases, statements, ads, and more.

I like Sam’s work (she wrote Tongue Fu!) and knew this one would be good. I just didn’t expect it to be great.

This morning I read the first few chapters of POP! and came up with some fun one liners to help promote my Miracles Coaching program. For example:

“Go from Near-icles to Miracles with Joe Vitale’s Miracles Coaching.”

“Release Fear-icles to achieve Miracles with Joe Vitale’s Miracles Coaching.”

I’m not done with my phrase conjuring yet, but the above one liners came quickly by using only one of Sam’s techniques. Even though I haven’t finished the book, my mind is already buzzing with new ideas.

I also created a few email subject lines that are truly riveting. I’d list them here for you, but I want to use them in an email or two first. (If you don’t get my emails, sign up at www.mrfire.com)
I think anyone in marketing — or anyone stuck at a party or mingling at a networking meeting or locked in an elevator with strangers wondering what to say next — needs this book.

Go get POP!

Ao Akua

PS — What temptation am I resisting? (I mentioned a temptation in the first line of this blog.) A brand new Panoz Esperante GTLM exotic sports car went for sale on eBay yesterday. It’s stunning and barely has 50 miles on it. I’ll probably hold off on getting another one until I visit the Panoz company next year. But wow, these cars are incredible. Just ask Francine.

Here’s a curious question…

What’s your favorite blog post by me from 2006?

I’ve had this blog up and running for just over one year. Out of all the entries you’ve seen, which did you like the best?

You can review all the blog posts by looking on the left and scrolling through all the past months. But the blog post you like best is probably the one you remember best right now.

Which one was it?

You can post your answer as a comment on this entry.

By knowing what you like, I can better understand what to give you in 2007.

Also, who wrote your all-time favorite blog post?

I’d love to know where you found the blog entry in 2006 — no matter who wrote it — that you just can’t stop talking about.

Meanwhile, Happy Holidays!

Ao Akua,

PS – Need a last minute gift idea? As you probably know, I have numerous books. If you visit www.amazon.com and search on my name, you can find most of them in seconds. My next book, titled Zero Limits, is the one I am most excited about. It will come out in Summer, 2007. It’ll be a head spinner. But if you need a gift right now, run to your nearest book store and grab one of my recent titles, such as The Attractor Factor or Life’s Missing Instruction Manual. Both should delight anyone you give them to.
