I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden. I will push you onward or drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command.
Half of the things you do you might as well turn over to me and I will do them - quickly and correctly.
I am easily managed - you must be firm with me. Show me exactly how you want something done and after a few lessons, I will do it automatically.
I am the servant of great people, and alas, of all failures as well. Those who are great, I have made great. Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine though I work with the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a person.
You may run me for profit or run me for ruin - it makes no difference to me.
Take me, train me, be firm with me, and I will place the world at your feet.
Be easy with me and I will destroy you.
Who am I? I am Habit.
Think about what you just read. Pretty interesting huh?
Did you know who it was the whole time, or was it a surprise to you at the end?
The first time I read this poem I realized that my habits were working against me. So I took immediate action and applied what I read. Now I am training myself and my habits to work for me.
Habits and character are closely related. So if you want to improve your character, get control of your habits and make them work for you.
The thoughts for today are focused on Habits.
Enjoy!
Nothing is stronger than habit.
Ovid (43 BC - 17 AD), Ars Amatoria
Good habits result from resisting temptation.
Ancient Proverb
How use doth breed a habit in a man!
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "The Two Gentlemen of Verona", Act 5 scene 4
Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
Errol Flynn (1909 - 1959)
Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them.
Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976)
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act but a habit.
Aristotle
Are your habits working for you or against you? How can you take control of them and make them work for you?
Take inventory of your habits, then take action to correct the ones that are working against you.
Don't forget that you also become who you surround yourself with and who you spend the most time with. So if the people that you are spending most of your time with have bad habits, theres a good chance that those bad habits will rub off on you. So surround yourself with positive and influential people so that their good habits rub off on you.
Make it a great day!
You're the Best!

Thoughts for Monday
Good morning and Happy Monday!
I hope you had a good, healthy and prosperous weekend.
Has anyone ever told you that you were a person of great character? If so, can you remember why they told you that?
Do you know anyone of great character? I hope so because you can learn so much from a person of great character.
There is a saying that holds true more thatn 90% of the time. It is "You are who you surround yourself with," or "you are the product of your environment." I have also seen it said as "Who you are today is a compilation of the things you do, the places you go and the people you surround yourself with."
So you might want to start thinking about who you are surrounding yourself with, because you will become those people. Thats why parents don't let their kids hang out with the "bad" kids. This is also why most successful people surround themselves with other successful people.
Therefore if you don't know of any people with good character, and you would like to surround yourself with these type of people, plug in to Vi-Net. The only social network that is set up as invite only(to keep the bad out) and the only social network that allows you to get paid to share it with your friends.
Today, if you haven't noticed, we are focusing the thoughts on Character. These thoughts should make you think about your character, cause if your not aware of where you are today, then you will not be able to improve yourself for where you are going tomorrow.
Here are the thoughts.
Enjoy!
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
-James A. Froude (1818 - 1894)
Our character...is an omen of our destiny, and the more integrity we have and keep, the simpler and nobler that destiny is likely to be.
-George Santayana (1863 - 1952), "The German Mind: A Philosophical Diagnosis"
In attempts to improve your character, know what is in your power and what is beyond it.
-Francis Thompson (1859 - 1907)
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
-Helen Keller (1880 - 1968)
People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.
-Eleanor Roosevelt (1884 - 1962), My Day
Many a man's reputation would not know his character if they met on the street.
-Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
-Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
-Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865), Lincoln's Own Stories
There is a special event going on tonight and I would like to extend a personal invite to you. It is called the Vision call, and you will be able to hear and learn from some people with some very good character about how you can improve your character and your life. The Vision call takes place at 7PM PST, and the number is 507-726-3356 pin 55741#. Dial in then state your name and where you are from, then mute your phone and listen. The call only lasts about 30 minutes and it is going to be packed with great information. I look forward to hearing you on the call.
Take care and make it a great day!
You're the Best!

Fail your way to Success!
Today I decided to send you some thoughts on failure. Most people have a fear of failing and try to avoid failure in any way that they can. As you will read in these thoughts, failure is the only thing that is gauranteed on the road to success.
For those of you who are parents out there, how many times did you let your little baby try to learn how to walk before you made them give up? You're probably saying as many times as it takes and as long as it takes right? Absolutely!
I don't know what happens to us as we get older, but we lose this mentality somewhere during adolesence. Maybe it is the constant negativity that surrounds each of us on a daily basis. Or maybe it is our school systems that teach us that it is unacceptable to fail. Whatever it is we need to realize that failure is just one step closer to success.
A couple of my personal favorite quotes on failure are "The only mistake you make, is the one that you don't learn from" and "The only way to fail is to quit."
Here are the rest of the thoughts for the day.
Enjoy!
Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure.
-William Saroyan
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
-Thomas A. Edison
Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.
-Sir Winston Churchill
A minute's success pays the failure of years.
-Robert Browning
You always pass failure on the way to success.
-Mickey Rooney
If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down but the staying down.
-Mary Pickford
Act as if it were impossible to fail.
-Dorothea Brande
Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children than the unlived life of the parent.
-Carl Jung
You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try.
-Beverly Sills
Take this knowledge and apply it to your daily life.
Take care and make it a great day!
You're the Best!

March to a Million!
Have you ever been part of something that is greater than yourself? Something that could literally change the world one person at a time?
Join us in the “March to a Million!”
It was an honor to share the weekend with so many eager and motivated entreprenuers in Burbank at Fusion Academy. To have an entire event dedicated to mentorship and building skills is something that will no doubt have a ripple effect throughout the ViSalus community as these new strategies are put into massive action across the nation.
What we launched this weekend was not an incentive, not a promotion, but something far greater. This time, we launched a CAUSE: The “March to a Million”
We will awaken as many people as possible to a healthier lifestyle simply by sharing the ViSalus products we all know and love. Starting today, we have set out on a community-wide mission to hand out 1-million samples of ViSalus NEURO, Vi-pak, and Vi-Shape to friends, family, anybody whose health we would like to improve.
We are already fast approaching 50,000 samples based on the action taken by those in attendance at Fusion Academy, but every single act of sharing counts. Whether you purchase one of our Product Packages, or just share a packet of NEURO with that co-worker who is fighting that 2pm nap attack, we welcome you on our march. Let’s encourage people to try our products, to share their positive testimonies, and take advantage of the opportunity to join ViSalus right now.
Our goal is to reach the 1-million mark by our next national event, Vitality! We will be celebrating a year of Life, Health, and Prosperity July 17th-19th in Anaheim, California. Wherever you start on the March to a Million, may it lead you to Anaheim in July so we can recognize the accomplishment of what I believe is the most important mission in our company’s history. There are more people in our country than ever before who need to improve their health, who need to find a financial vehicle to overcome the loss of traditional jobs and income streams, who need to be a part of something greater than themselves.
You have a chance, a responsibility, to share these solutions with the people you care about. We hope you join us.
