"What we really teach is the challenge, the power, and yes, if you want it to be, the fun of free will. Wherever you are in life, someone has had it worse and made it, and someone has had it better and blown it."

1.  A Reason to Get Strong NOW! By Phil
________________________________________
 Last month I had the pleasure of attending The Center for The Workforce Development at Columbus State Community College. The keynote speaker was among the best I have ever heard - Ed Barlow, Futurist, www.creatingthefuture.com

After his presentation, I went up to him and told him he needs to be interviewed by Oprah, Larry King, and Charlie Rose.

One of his amazing great points was that we have 2 to 4 years of tough times. His reasons were:

1. The sub-prime depocal is still affecting us but that is only 3% of the market.97% of the people are paying their mortgages on time for now.

2. The adjustable rate mortgage is now hitting us. The problem is your home is now worth less than it was.

3. Consumer confidence will continue to drop. Our problem is we have an economy based on people buying things they can't afford and don't need.

4. Public companies are starting lay offs because they must run their business based on quarterly numbers to keep their stock prices up.

I know you are saying, "Ok, Phil, where is the hope."

Jack Welch, the Retired CEO of General Electric, said, "During uncertain times, we weed out the weak players and the strong ones widen the gap." So, the message is get strong. Get strong, physically, get strong, mentally, get strong, spiritually, get strong with your relationships, and get strong, financially. Get strong, in all areas of your life.

So, during these next 2 to 4 years, not only will you survive, you will thrive. Then, when the economy turn, you will make quantum leaps in your life.

2.  Run Joyfully
________________________________________
 
 Run joyfully toward life and embrace it with open arms. Each day brings its own treasure in the flavors, aromas, sights, sounds situations, experiences and interactions that come our way.

Don't get bogged down attempting to resist or deny what has already happened. Put our energy into using what you have to make life better than ever.

Embrace the beauty, the joy, the wonder and the abundance of life. At the same time, embrace the challenges, the setbacks, the disappointments and the difficulties.

Be genuinely thankful for every moment, whatever it may contain. For in each moment is your opportunity to fully live, to grow, to learn, to experience, to share and to create unique, lasting value.

Welcome the ever-changing richness of life as it dances before your eyes in ways you've never seen before. Join passionately in that dance and be a part of the richness.

Follow the winding path as it moves up, down, over and around through the steadily increasing abundance and fulfillment of your life. Know more fully, as each moment passes, the profound joy of being.

                                                 -Ralph Marston

 4. Saving Someone's Life      by Susan
 
________________________________________
 
 It has been six years since Phil has presented to the National Emergency Number Association (911). He spoke at their first National Convention in 1992. He didn't present in 1993, and then he spoke every year for the next eight years.
We were excited to back this year at their National Convention in Tampa. As you can imagine, these fine people deal with tragedy and help to save lives every day. The night before Phil's keynote to over 1,500 people, we went to the reception.
Phil dropped me off at the entrance to the Tampa Convention Center. He then went to park the rental car.
As I was going up the escalator, I chatted with a woman on her way to the reception. When I told her my name she asked if I was Phil Sorentino's wife. I cautiously said, "yes." 
"In 1994, he saved my life," she said. She was brand new to NENA and had planned to go to a technical session. Her co-worker said, "No, you have to go a listen to Phil Sorentino." She said she reluctantly went.
She said Phil talked about the Power of Commitment. If you have a problem with anything in your life, don't ask yourself, "Why do I have a problem. Ask yourself, "Why can't I be committed the problem. Whether it is a policy, a procedure, or a relationship, when you can answer the question why can't you be committed to the policy, the procedure, the relationship, then you will know why you have the problem, especially in relationships. Never sit back in a relationship and say, "I am not going to make a commitment to this relationship. I have been burned in the past and I am not going to commit again and get burned again." With that attitude, the relationship will not work. Now, on the other side, (and this is the line that saved this woman's life) when you make a commitment to a relationship and it doesn't work, you can leave that relationship with your head held high and you shoulders back feeling great about yourself. You make the commitment and it didn't work but that is okay. You did your best.
This comment gave her the courage to leave a 22 year abusive relationship.
You never know how you may touch someone's life in a very positive way.
