Their relationships, health, finances, jobs,
everythings seems to be just… taking a nose dive.

Many people, when they really think about it,
haven’t even been truly happy for many, many
years.

If they’ve had any real consistent feeling for
all of that time, it’s been a fear of some impending
catastrophe.

Life doesn’t have to be that way.

It really can be as simple as shifting your
perspective.

Here’s a free webinar that will help you to do
just that. It will shift your perspective, and wake
you up to the fact that your power, your life, and
your happiness really are in your hands.

You owe it to yourself, and your sanity!

The book reminded me that often we flinch from just
imagining how bad something will be when those things
often turn out to be nowhere near as bad as we imagined.

In the book, Julien touched upon something I actually
was trained to do back in 1980, when I sold books
door-to-door in Baltimore and Philadelphia, with
Southwestern Publishing Company.

When Southwestern Publishing pulled my team (college
students recruited at NCSU) into their corporate
training centers, one of the things that they hammered
into us was that “Successful People Do Things That
Unsuccessful People Don’t Like To Do!”

What they failed to mention is that successful people
often don’t LIKE doing them either.

Anyway, they taught us to start each day out with a
cold shower… turning on the water, and just doing it.
After a few seconds under the cold water, you quickly
realize that it’s not nearly as bad as you thought it
would be… and that was suppose to suggest that the
inevitable rejections you would get during the day of
trying to sell people your books (for several hundred
dollars) wasn’t going to be really that bad either.

Since The Flinch reminded me of the cold shower
concept, I decided to start forcing myself to be more
proactive, even when it felt unnatural, by actually
taking nothing but cold showers for a full month.

AND I ACTUALLY DID THAT… although I cheated.

You see, I spent 3 weeks of that month in the Philippines
where you simply didn’t have hot running water even
available in the shower in many locations.

In fact, I stayed places where you ran a 10 gallon
bucket full of water, and then you used a smaller cup
or bucket to pour the water over yourself. So, you
splashed some water on you to get wet, lathered up,
and then poured water on yourself to rinse off. At least
that was what I did… I didn’t ask for instructions

As I prepared for these showers, I have to admit that
I anticipated what it was going to feel like having
that cold water running down my back.

In practically EVERY instance, it didn’t feel nearly
as bad as I imagined, and in most cases, after the first
fraction of a second, it actually felt nice.

It was a nice break from the 90 degree heat.

I continued the cold showers after getting back home,
until I had completed the full month… then gave myself
permission to enjoy warm showers again… unless I need
the psychological reinforcement offered by the cold
showers.

After, the month of cold showers, I have now stepped up
to going through a full year of doing things that I know
that I need to do, but also tend to flinch when thinking
about them.

So, prepare to be amazed as I go through The Year Without
Flinching… or better yet, join me

By the way, you can still get the Kindle version of The
Flinch ** FREE ** here:

I’ve KNOWN people like that — present but not voting. Too often, I
am one of them. These people are alive, but they are not really
living. As Benjamin Franklin may have put it, they died around 25
but won’t be buried until they are 75. They live without passion.
They seem to have forgotten what thrill and wonder life can hold.
They get through each day, but seldom experience anything like deep
joy. They’re alive, but barely.

Jeremy Bentham, who every year is present but not voting, reminds me
of a story from Jewish humor. A widow spoke to friends about her
departed husband. “Sidney thought of everything,” she said. “Just
before he died, he called me to his bedside. He handed me three
envelopes. ‘I have put all my last wishes in these three envelopes,’
he said. ‘After I am dead, please open them and do exactly as I have
instructed. Then I can rest in peace.’”

She explained the contents of the envelopes. “The first envelope
contained $5,000 with a note: ‘Use this money to buy a nice casket.’
So I bought a beautiful mahogany casket with a soft lining. The
second envelope contained $10,000 and a note: ‘Use this for a nice
funeral.’ So I used it for flowers, food and music. I know it would
have made him happy.’ The third envelope contained $25,000 with a
note: ‘Use this to buy a nice stone.’”

At that point, the widow held up her hand and pointed to her finger,
adorned with a lovely diamond ring. “So, do you like my stone?”

It WAS a nice stone. She knew that life was for the living.

Diamonds are not exactly my idea of living fully, but the story
makes a good point. I want to do my best to enjoy life while I have
it.

I think actor Maurice Chevalier had the right idea. He once said, “I
never eat when I can dine.” Do you know the difference? Eating is
doing the necessary. Getting it done. I eat because I am hungry,
then I can get on with what I was doing. Or I eat WHILE I’m doing
something else – like writing or driving or watching television. If
there is any pleasure to be found in the meal, I likely don’t notice
it. My attention is on something else.

But dining is different. Dining is the ENJOYMENT of eating. When I
dine, I pay attention to what I am doing. I taste the foods – I
savor them. I notice the differences between flavors and I eat more
slowly. I also pay more attention to the people who are sharing my
meal. I interact with them. I am fully present during the meal and I
may even reflect back on it later in the day. I admit, I eat often,
but I don’t dine nearly enough.

I want to dine more and eat less. I don’t want to just show up for
life; I want to be part of it. I want to worry less about such
things as where I live, and more about living where I am. And at the
end of my life, I want to say that I always tried to be fully
present.

He gave me a book, “Transcend – Nine Steps To
Living Well Forever” by Ray Kurzwell and Terry
Grossman, MD.

In the book, they explain that due to the
exponential growth in technology, it is
probably already possible for most of us to
actually live forever, and that it’s really
just a matter of living long enough where the
next technological advance can be taken
advantage of.

They explain that modern medicine is no longer
hit and miss but really little more than
evolving information technology. The Human
Genome Project has already mapped out our
genes and allowed us to identify genes that
cause various functions, AND to turn off genes
that cause things such as certain diseases
or for certain tissues to stop reproducing.

They explain that as much progress as we have
made, we will experience a billionfold
increase in capability in the next 25 years.

They observed that our genes are essentially
little software programs, that haven’t been
updated since when early man rarely lived past
his mid-20′s. So, we actually are currently
programmed to start shutting down (in what
may have at one time been in the best
interest of the survival of the species)
in our early 30′s.

Many functions such as eye-sight, hearing,
reproduction of many types of cells, sex drive,
and our reproductive capabilities start a steady
decline at this point.

Man has struggled with this topic FOREVER. In
the book, they share how an ancient Pharoah
took pills derived from dehydrated urine of teenage
boys. These pills DID boost his testosterone, and
isn’t THAT different from what we do today

Science, is now able to reboot our computers,
updating our operating systems, and living to
be 120 or so is very easy. That’s within the
possibility of most people alive today.

In another 10-20 years, living to be 150 – 200
will likely be fairly common, and it can go
up exponentially from there.

At some point, science does replace a lot of
parts and systems with mechanical pieces… and
you have a melding of man and machine.

The line between the two becomes blurred as
science is able to replace major organ with
gadgets

A few quick quotes from the introduction of this
454-page book, which I read in my spare time in
only two day since it grabbed my scientific interest:

“So, in addition to having collected the
software code upon which life is based, we now
have the means to reprogram it.”

“.. our health technologies are subject to what
Ray calls the law of accelerating returns, a
doubling of capability each year. This means
that the ability to undrestand, model, simulate,
and reprogram the information processes underlying
disease and aging processes will be a thousand
times more powerful in 1 decade and a million
times more powerful in 2 decades. According to
Ray’s models, we are also shrinking technology
at an exponential pace – by about a hundredfold
per decade. So these technologies will be 10,000
times smaller in just 20 years from now.”

That translates into machines currently the size
of maybe a cell phone being eventually shrunk
down to the size of a red blood cell!

“The most exciting development is that the first
set of insights from this biotechnology revolution
is now available to us. On the basis of the latest
findings from the field of genetics, medical
scanning, and biological simulation, we have found
that many of the ideas of how disease processes work
have turned out to be dead wrong (and we will discuss,
that this is an apt phrase).

In the book, they show how they are already actually
literally reversing the aging process. An example
is the discovery that phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a
key constituent of all cell membranes and that it’s
90% of the cell membrane in a 10-year-old child, but
only 10% in an elderly person.

“PC is a remarkable substance that gives the cell
its flexible structural integrity, allows nutrients
into the cell, and facilitates the removal of
toxins.”

You can literally reverse some aging processes
right now by supplementing with PC.

Anyway, it IS a fascinating book, and does raise the
question, of how long you’d really like to live

This book is available on Amazon.com. The hardcover
edition, which is what I have, is here:

There are other versions there too, including the
Kindle version.

It’s certainly interesting reading

By the way, my favorite priest and I have had numerous
discussion on tinkering with life (usually around
in-vitro fertilization), and the fact that if God did
not want us doing it, he probably would not have
revealed the how-to to us… but that’s another
discussion entirely

That means that a person making $60,000 a year can
afford a home worth $210,000.

A few years back, someone assumed that property
values were going up so fast, and would continue
going up so fast, that they essentially decided
to throw that age-old rule out the widow.

They found creative ways to prove to people that
they could afford homes that were normally WAY out
of their price range.

Soooo, not only could a person making $60,000 per
year easily qualify for a $400,000 loan… but a
person with NO job could also often qualify… and
at times even get money back on the closing

At the same time that this was occurring, prices
where shooting up at an inflated rate largely
BECAUSE the easy financing was driving up demand.

Those loans were sold on secondary markets
incidentally, filling the system with essentially
worthless paper.

Investors became gamblers… and a percentage didn’t
know what a bad gamble it was. Some did know, and
didn’t care!

Fast forward a few years, and what we are really
seeing is the market moving back toward
equilibrium.

Over-valued homes in many areas are showing losses
of 30% – 40%… even more… compared to their
previous values.

While the downward trend has slowed, and even
stopped in some places, that HAS put a lot of
homes on the market at incredible prices.

Some of these VERY nice home can now be had at
much below their actual market values. In fact,
some can be had for 20 to 30 cents on the dollar…

NO, this is not financial advice.

Yes, I was formally trained in economics
