Greetings All,

I hope I can join in occasionally too. I've been eavesdropping on these threads sporadically since I bought the ES course, and I imagine there are many more closet ES students dropping in to read the comments of how "everyone else" seems to be progressing.

What am I willing to give up to achieve success.... Hmmmmm. Well, I have been trying to give up negativity. That is, not just my own negative thoughts, but other people's negative attitudes. It's draining. And I'm trying to let other people have their opinions and not feel I have to argue or cajole or jolly them out of a funk. I try to remind myself that we're human beings... and sometimes we just have to BE. And sometimes, we just have to let others be.

Also, I'm trying to give up using the word "fine" as in, "How are you?" "Fine." It's a little thing, but an unexpected answer does give the day a fresh and immediate zing. So, instead I would rather say I'm feeling "Marvelous" or "Sparkling" or "Groovy" (remember that?) or "Happy" or "Lovely" and sometimes just "Barely adequate." But "Fine" is so boring that it is no longer so fine.

I have a question for everyone out there. You seem to be a very committed bunch, more so than me, and I appreciate that. I am wondering how many times you have gone through the ES course. I only completed a one-time through, and I can't seem to motivate myself to go through it again. And I'm feeling like I should be going back over this because I know there are things I've missed. And I'm thinking that the people who really succeed in achieving their breakthrough goals are going over the material several times.

But not me. Instead I keep buying more courses. I've bought Subliminal Videos, a Meditation Program (CDs with Binaural beats), The Winning Sage Contesting Course, The Silva Method, and Sonic Access are just some of my purchases. I've stuck with the Subliminal Videos and the Meditation Program, but with everything else, I race through the course and start thinking I must buy something else. The Holy Grail is still out there. My life must change NOW! Maybe a self-hypnosis course. Maybe Joe Vitale's Law of Attraction course. Why am I doing this?

By the way, on the first Wednesday of each month, Jack Canfield does a live and free telephone conference. It's over an hour long. Just go to AskJackCanfield.com and sign up. (I'm not sure that's the exact link, but it's easy enough to find him since I did it accidentally.) His telephone conference is like the ES course with a private mentor. And it's a great feeling to have Jack's phone number on my cell phone. That makes him "one of my five friends" that I spend the most time with.

Um, by the way, French Claire, I always wondered, did Jack Canfield ever contact you?

Cheers everyone; thanks for reading this, and have as much fun as you can!
