A Message to our OC Boot Campers

Actually, this is the best time in our history – Take advantage now

November 17, 2008

From the desk of Dr. John Spencer Ellis

Greetings to all of you.

Did you know this is actually one of the best possible times of our lives? I know. I know. With all that is happening on a local, national and global scale, how is this possible? Well, I’m glad you asked. I am happy to explain.

Times of great change offer the most opportunity to excel. Those who are most flexible in their perspectives, outlook, and ability to adapt are sure to prosper. From a biological perspective, when cells are growing, dividing, and expanding, they are more susceptible to outside influence (both good and bad). An example of a bad influence is that you should avoid having an X-ray exam when you are pregnant. The fetuses’ cells are rapidly dividing and could mutate. On the other hand, love from the mother boosts the baby’s health.

Life, in general, is the same. In this rapid time of change, we are influenced and must adapt (like it or not). So, make the conscious decision to change for the better. Open your eyes and your heart to all the new possibilities that surround you. There are many!

Regardless if your candidate won, or your proposition of choice was defeated, YOU MUST MOVE ON! Start your computer (brain)! What new opportunities now exist that did not 6 months ago? Is this a time for a career change? Has your schedule changed so you can exercise at a different time? Is there love in the air?

Look, everything in life is a choice. You are in control, and always have been. You can make the choice to respond favorably or not. Because you are in control, make the obvious choice to seek the best possible response to any stimulus or change. Now, like no other time in history, you have the opportunity to excel. Be creative. Become resourceful. Ask a better question. Seek a better response.

Here is a fun and useful challenge for you.

Are you ready? For one week beginning today, avoid the news, speak only in positive terms, read only material which enhance your life, avoid anyone who is negative in ANY WAY! And, do what I’m going to do. Find the local charities which are helping the recent fire victims. What an awesome feeling! It sure puts things into perspective.

Ok, start your challenge…………. NOW!

Have an outstanding day.
