The Sack Race


Everyone is talking about trying to get out
of the rat race. Well, not everyone I guess.
But, we all know what is meant by that term
"the rat race". It usually conjures up thoughts
of too many bills at the end of the month, not
enough money to make ends meet, no time to
spend with family and friends etc. Yes, we
all know about "the rat race".

Although it's a universally recognized term,
it's also a very tired and worn out term. We
use the words "rat race" with indiffernce,
although most of us are victims of the
connotation carried by the term "rat race".

I recently came across one of the most
refreshing and enlightening books about the
rat race that has ever been written. Readers
are given a whole new perspective on this
thing that has enslaved so many people across
the world.

Richard Goodman is the main character and he
is someone that everybody can relate with easily.
The author of this award winning, best selling
book, Leslie Householder, does an incredible
job simplyfying the problems faced by average
people. Not only that, she gives hope to those
of us who really would like to get out of
"the rat race".

The E-book can be downloaded FREE at
www.jackrabbitfactor.com. It's only about 80
pages, so can easily be read in one or two
sittings. Once you've read it, I am sure
you'll never use the term "rat race" again.

With gratitude,

Rick

The Whole World is My Classroom

And of course I don't mean that I'm teaching
the whole world anything. What I mean is that
I am learning so much from everyone in the
world. And there is so much to learn from so
many people. Everyone has something to offer.

My job is simply to be willing to receive
what others want to share. I don't necessarily
have to agree with everything that is being
shared. Nobody can ever agree with everyone
about everything.

But, I have discovered that I can choose
what is being shared with me. If there is one
thing in this world that I can control, it is
my thoughts. So, if I can control my thoughts,
then I can choose thoughts and experiences
that please me.

By practicing and living this way, I have
found that only good can come into my
experience. And I seem to be forever having
things shared with me which are beneficial to
my well being.

For example, I know that I need and would like
to improve my blogs by writing more often. But,
writing doesn't come easy for me. And just
when I need it the most, someone shares with
me some information about improving writing
and blogging skills.

I would like to pass on that information to
you and also give credit where credit is due.
Thank you Cindy Bolley, my colleague from the
Crazy Foxes Marketing Group, for bringing me this
article: http://www.BiggestBloggingMistakes.com

I trust you will all gain as much from it as I
have.

With gratitude,

Rick
