					  <link>http://www.refresher.com/mindfulnetwork/articlelive/articles/990/1/The-Lamp-and-a-Wish/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Since childhood, all of us, at one time or another, have thought about having a magic lamp and making our three wishes. Several years ago, I wrote a novel entitled The Lamp about adults making real-life wishes and then making them come true. Recently, my partner Tracy J. Trost and I have turned The Lamp book into a movie. Here&#8217;s a preview. <em>(There is a link to the trailer, and this article includes Jim's Christopher Story - an absolutely wonderful video of Jim in action. ed.)<br/></em>]]></description>

					  <link>http://www.refresher.com/mindfulnetwork/articlelive/articles/970/1/Shaping-the-Future/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, the more we grow and learn, the more we seem to limit our futures. As small children, everything seems possible, but as we pursue our education and our career, we seem to narrow instead of broadening the future outcomes we are willing to consider. If anything is possible, we must realize that everything is possible. Both the limitations and the pathways to success exist in our mind and imagination.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Like many people in business today, I spend a lot of my time on airplanes, flying from point A to point B. I generally am among the very first people to board so I get to sit and relax as I listen to all of the other people scrambling to get on the plane, find their seats, and stow their carryon luggage. For most of us, the high points and low points in life are inevitable. But the average routine days are within our control.<br/><br/>]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Oliver Wendell Holmes said, &#8220;A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimension.&#8221; I believe one of the fastest and most efficient ways to gain new ideas is to read books. The most powerful, creative, influential, and interesting people who ever lived on this planet are waiting to share their best secrets with you in the pages of a book. <br/><br/>]]></description>

					  <title><![CDATA[Inside Out]]></title>
					  <link>http://www.refresher.com/mindfulnetwork/articlelive/articles/898/1/Inside-Out/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[We live in a society that constantly focuses upon immediate rewards and instant gratification. We want microwave efforts with crock pot results. Nothing worth having ever comes quick and easy. There are three states that we can dwell on in our lives. These include being, doing, and having. In our world today, everyone is focused on having. They want to have everything now and worry about paying for it later. When we understand that success is planted on the inside and manifests itself on the outside, we begin to realize that the knowledge we gain and the wisdom we apply are the keys to our success. <br/>]]></description>

					  <title><![CDATA[The Power of Deciding]]></title>
					  <link>http://www.refresher.com/mindfulnetwork/articlelive/articles/874/1/The-Power-of-Deciding/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[I believe and have often said that we are all one quality decision away from anything we want. A quality decision is a certain state of mind. It is not the process of deciding to try, attempt, or pursue something until it becomes difficult. A quality decision means that you have firmly set your course. You are no longer flexible on your mission; however, you may be flexible on your method. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, &#8220;Once you make a decision, the world conspires to make it happen.&#8221; <br/><br/>]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[All of us have opportunities where we can leverage our impact by taking the special areas of talent and experience we have and giving them away to people who need them. As you go through your day today, follow the example of a very special colonel who redefines and expands the definition of service to his country. <br/><br/>]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[We do not go to work or live our lives to fill up every minute. Our goal is to accomplish things that matter to us in our personal and professional realm. As you go through your day today, remember: It&#8217;s always best to be working on the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason, and doing nothing is better than doing the wrong thing. <br/><br/>]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[The longer I live, the more I believe that the great truths are the simple ones. We make them complicated out of our ignorance or self-serving motives. Simple truths endure. They cut through the clutter and bring us clarity. We need nothing else. Rarely do we fail because we didn&#8217;t know what to do. We, instead, fail because we didn&#8217;t do what we know. <br/>]]></description>

					  <title><![CDATA[Giving and Receiving]]></title>
					  <link>http://www.refresher.com/mindfulnetwork/articlelive/articles/753/1/Giving-and-Receiving/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Giving is the most misunderstood and complicated interaction that we face. Whether it&#8217;s giving our time, our effort, or our money, it&#8217;s hard to do the right thing for the right reason. There are certainly many needs in our own communities and around the world. We need to take some responsibility to find the appropriate place where we can make a true difference for other people. At the same time, we each have a need to become a giver. This is the complicated part of the formula because it requires us to fulfill a need in our own life while addressing the needs of other people. <br/><br/>]]></description>
