One choice can change your life forever. Your life today is what your choices have made it but with new choices, you can change direction this very moment.

IT’S LAUGHING
Doctors have long known a few food guffaws can help lower stress homones, bad cholesterol and high blood pressure. Turns out rip-roaring laughter dilates blood vessels, enhancing circulation as much as aerobics exercise, say researchers at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore. While more study is needed, it can’t hurt to get several chuckles a day.
Take a few minutes to enjoy the movie,
Laughter is an Instant Vacation. This movie is sure to bring a well deserved break to anyone’s day.

| The Story Behind Eat That Frog!by Brian Tracy
This little book, Eat That Frog!was more than twenty-fiveyears in the making. The simple lessons it contains were those lessons thatchanged my life when I was in my early twenties. Alas! I did not graduate from high school. I worked at laboring jobs – washing dishes, washing cars, and washing floors – before I went on to working in sawmills and factories, and construction labor. At the age of 23, I was uneducated, unskilled, and once more unemployed. Then, I got into straight commission selling,cold calling from door to door, dependent upon each sale to eat that day and pay for my small room in a boarding house.One day, I had a revelation that changed my life. I discovered the law of cause and effect. This law says that, for everything you do, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you want to get more out, you have to put more in. Most of all, this law says that: “If you do what other successful people do, you will soon get the same results that they do.”Wow! This meant that if I learned to do what the most successful salespeople in my field were doing, I could get the same results that they were. From that moment on, I became a lifelong student of success, and especially sales and business success.I soon learned the key factor that made all the other factors work. It was simply that, of all the things that you have to do each day, there is always one activity that is more important than the others. It is also the one activity that you are most likely to procrastinate on or to put off until later, until finally, the day is up and it is still undone.I spent 30 years reading books on time management, taking courses, and listening to audio programs. I found that the ability to select your most important priority, and to begin on that task first thing, before anything else, was the key to great success in life. The book Eat That Frog! teaches this core principle. With this principle as a daily practice, you can double and triple your productivity and performance. You can increase your income and your results. You can have a wonderful life characterized by self-control, self-esteem, and high self-respect. All you have to do is start on your most important task first thing in the morning. This book has now become the bestselling book on time management in the world, in 38 languages, selling more than 3 million copies and going into fifteen and twenty printings in some languages. It is all because it contains one “simple truth” about life management and peak performance. Today, I’d like to share a chapter from Eat That Frog! called Plan Every Day in Advance

If Life is a Game…These are the Rules is an international best seller with over 4 million copies sold. Chérie is the author of 14 books, and has been on the Oprah Show several times to share her insights about what makes us tick and what makes us happy.
We’re pleased to say, however, that Simple Truths has been given the opportunity to take a great book and make it better! We’ve made it more engaging with the graphics and more “giftable” with an embossed hard cover to create a “wow” effect.
Today, I’d like to share the introduction to her book. As Helen Keller says, “Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.” Enjoy!
An excerpt from
If Life is a Game…These are the Rules
by Chérie Carter-Scott, Ph.DLife has often been compared to a game. We are never told the rules, unfortunately, nor given any instructions about how to play. We simply begin at “go” and make our way around the board, hoping we play it right. We don’t exactly know the objective of playing, nor what it means to actually win.
That is what Ten Rules for Being Human is all about. These are the guidelines to playing the game we call life, but they are also much more than that. These Rules will provide you with a basic spiritual primer for what it means to be a human. They are universal truths that everyone inherently knows but has forgotten somewhere along the way. They form the foundation of how we can live a fulfilling, meaningful life. Each Rule presents its own
challenge, which in turn provides certain lessons we all need to learn. Every person on the planet has his or her own set of lessons to learn that are separate and unique from everyone else’s, and these lessons, as you will see in Rule Four, will reappear until they are mastered.The Ten Rules for Being Human are not magic, nor do they promise ten easy steps to serenity. They offer no quick fix for emotional or spiritual ailments, and they are not fast track secrets to enlightenment. Their only purpose is to give you a road map to follow as you travel your path of spiritual growth.
These Rules are not mandates, but rather guidelines as to how to play the game. There is nothing you absolutely must do. I hope this book will help you to become more aware of them. By learning the valuable lessons and wisdom they offer, your journey on the Earth might just a bit easier.
As Jack Canfield, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul says in the
introduction: “While reading this book, you will begin to see your life from a
whole new perspective. If you embrace the principles in this book, I promise you
that your life will magically transform and that you will learn the secrets to
manifesting your heart’s desire.”
I hope that learning “the rules for being human” will be your key to a more joyful life.
