			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bad things happen to good people.</p>
<p>I am sure you have had something negative happen to you in your life.</p>
<p>So why do bad things happen?  What create them?</p>
<p>There are two schools of thought out there when it comes to the world.</p>
<p>#1 You have no control over everything that happens outside of you and you are helpless to world events.</p>
<p>#2  You create everything that happens outside of you.  Your perception of reality makes it real.  You attract or create everything that happens to you in your life.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>As you can see, these are VERY different belief sets, but as unlikely as it may seem, both of these belief sets lead us to the same conclusion.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at belief #1.  This is the belief that comes from feeling separate from the world around you.  Here you have believe that when something bad happens to you, there is nothing you can do but respond to the bad thing.   There are no lessons to be learned in creating the bad thing, because you had nothing to do with it occurring in the first place.   A Secularist may believe that the world is random and that it is random chance, and a religious person may blame the devil, or feel that he/she is being punished from God, but either way, the thing they all agree on is that they do not create the world outside of them.</p>
<p>So, with that belief set, the obvious conclusion I come to is this:</p>
<p>IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO YOU, YOU SHOULD KEEP A POSITIVE MINDSET.  YOU SHOULD TRY TO NOT LET BAD THINGS BOTHER YOU BECAUSE YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT TO BEGIN WITH.  WHEN YOU FEEL BAD, YOU LET THE WORLD CHANGE YOU, AND GETTING ANGRY AND/OR DEPRESSED IS SIMPLY BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH AND LOWERS YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCESS.</p>
<p>Now let&#8217;s take a look at belief #2.  People with this belief take responsibility for everything that happens in their life, good or bad.  They believe that they create the world outside of them, and that every interaction is a product of their own creation.  A secularist may believe the world to be a projection created by the mind and that reality is a malleable illusion.  A religious person may believe that they are co-creators with God, and that they are connected with everything because everything is a creation of God and therefore they are in the same flow of being of God, with everything in existence.</p>
<p>So, with that belief set, the obvious conclusion I come to is this:</p>
<p>IF  SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO YOU, YOU SHOULD KEEP A POSITIVE MINDSET.  YOU  SHOULD TRY TO NOT LET BAD THINGS BOTHER YOU BECAUSE YOU WILL CREATE MORE BAD THINGS BY REACTING AND FEELING NEGATIVE.  WHEN YOU FEEL BAD, YOU CREATE MORE NEGATIVE THINGS IN YOUR OWN LIFE.  GETTING ANGRY AND/OR DEPRESSED IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH, LOWERS YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCESS AND ATTRACTS/CREATES MORE BAD THINGS IN YOUR LIFE.</p>
<p>So you see, either way, being positive in a negative situation is solution.</p>
<p>You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.</p>

<p>I am a cheater&#8230;.</p>
<p>and I am proud of it.</p>
<p><a href="http://johnderrick.com/Cheat" target="_blank">The PROOF IS HERE</a></p>
<p>You see, I cheated my way to success.</p>
<p>I took this shortcut, because I&#8217;d rather take the easy way out.</p>
<p>The way I saw it, I had two choices.</p>
<p>#1 &#8211; I could put in years of hard work,</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>#2 &#8211; I could put in minutes of effort</p>
<p><strong>AND GET THE SAME RESULTS!</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
</strong></p>
<p>So I cheated by using this:   <strong><a href="http://johnderrick.com/Cheat" target="_blank">What I Used To CHEAT</a></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span>For the record:  You can cheat too.</p>
<p>You can delete fears and phobias in MINUTES.<br />
You can keep motivated<br />
perform better at virtually any task<br />
Enjoy tasks that used to make you miserable<br />
Be happy and feel great about your life.</p>
<p>So I highly recommend you start cheating today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://johnderrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/superhappy.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-610" style="margin: 10px 0px; border: 0pt none;" title="superhappy" src="http://johnderrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/superhappy-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="236" height="157" /></a>Here is a neat little trick that anyone can do to make their day&#8230;</p>
<p>and it is 100% free!</p>
<p>Close your eyes and search your mind for something that makes you happy.</p>
<p>Not something forced or something that SHOULD make you happy, but rather something that brings you pure joy.</p>
<p>You will know when you find it because when you think about it or imagine it, you will FEEL happy inside.</p>
<p>Now that you have found it, concentrate on it all day long.  Think about this happy place or happy person or happy thought all day long.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll improve your day greatly.</p>
<p>HINT:  I find this works best with something you are looking forward to, but have not accomplished yet.</p>
<p>For example:  If you were expecting a baby, or a grandchild, this would be a very happy thought indeed, that has not arrived yet.</p>
<p>Another example:  If you have a goal for buying something large, like a house, then focus on the happy feeling of owning your new house.</p>
<p>When you do this, you will find that life&#8217;s little problems roll off your back easily and you&#8217;ll find yourself with a new spring in your step.</p>

<p>I know it may be hard to believe, but no one can make you angry.  No one can make you cry.</p>
<p>Yes, people can behave in ways that you do not prefer, but ultimately it is always your choice on how you choose to react to their actions.</p>
<p>Have an argument with someone?</p>
<p>Okay, now that it is over you can choose to let it go and no longer think about it.  It is your choice.  If you choose to dwell on it, then you will only be damaging yourself.</p>
<p>It may be tempting to want to hold on to anger because:  &#8220;You know you were right&#8221;  or because &#8220;That is not fair&#8221;, but anger weakens you over time.  You may feel empowered by anger, but it wreaks havoc on your body and your health&#8230;.</p>
<p>When it comes to arguments (especially with spouses) Kim Miller use to teach:  <em>&#8220;I would rather be happy than right.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The law of attraction tells us that we get more of what we feel like, so if you allow yourself to feel angry often, you will be attracting more things for you to feel angry about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You are a fantastic person and are getting better everyday.</p>
<p>How often do you hear that?</p>
<p>Not often enough, I am sure.</p>
<p>Most of us are too hard on ourselves and we spend far too much time focusing on the one thing we did wrong that day and forget to praise all the wonderful things we are doing everyday.</p>
<p>You really are a great person who is getting better everyday in every way.  The mere fact that you are reading this is proof of that.  So try not to be so hard on yourself.</p>
<p>Remember, focus on what you want&#8230; not on what you don&#8217;t want.</p>
<p>So what if you make a mistake here and there.  That is to be expected.  No one&#8230;  (and I mean NO ONE) is perfect.</p>
<p>So give yourself the praise you need, and tell yourself how great you truly are!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Just wanted to get an update on here to let everyone know that the 24 hour, huge sale to celebrate my 38th birthday is now CLOSED.</span></p>
<p>It was a HUGE success&#8230;   Thank You to everyone involved.</p>
<p>The sale may be closed, but<strong> Things are STILL absolutely CRAZY around here.</strong></p>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I have answered 624 support tickets (not done yet either) and countless hundreds of emails. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;">We still have orders stacked up waist high here in my home office ready to be shipped. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;">My two Kids have been pitching in after school trying to help us catch up with all the orders.  They have been a super big help, (THANKS BOYS!) </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I HOPE to have nearly every single order in the mail by Tuesday,  Feb 2nd.    YES, I will be working on these over the weekend.<br />
</span></div>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<div>All of my products (except<a href="http://yoursecretcourse.com/" target="_blank"> The Printed Version of The Secret Course</a>) are digital, and can be downloaded immediately after ordering, so shipping this many products is something completely new to me.</div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>I am happy so many people took me up on this offer, but I honestly had no idea it would be this big of a hit.</div>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<div>The looks the neighbors have been giving me when I load my kids into a car that is filled nearly to the roof with packages&#8230;..    <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-618" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 10px;" title="surprised" src="http://johnderrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/surprised.jpg" alt="surprised" width="73" height="91" /></div>
<div><strong>Let&#8217;s just say it has be interesting!</strong></div>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<div>It was also a strange sort of fun going into the Local Staples, and buying all their CD sized shipping packages the week before the sale, and then going back in and buying out everything once again, which they say they just got back in stock.</div>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<div>In fact, we had to hit Office Depot too, just to have enough mailing materials.</div>
<div>So now I know.  Next time, I will be ready.</div>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<div>Even the web server took a beating.  At one point over 2,000 people were trying to access the big sale at exactly the same time.  I had to contact my hosting company and do some &#8220;load balancing&#8221;&#8230;   but before I hold a huge event like this again I plan to upgrade my server so it can handle everyone.</div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Thank you to everyone who helped put this huge celebration together.</span></strong></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Thank you to everyone who made my birthday such a special day this year.  I love all the emails and cards I received.</span></strong></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> <strong>It is truly my great privilege to spend another year with all of you great people.   Thank you for reading this site.  Thank you for reading my weekly newsletter&#8230;  and thank you all for being my friends!</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I love you all,</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-192" title="johnderrick-sigx00x72" src="http://johnderrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/johnderrick-sigx00x72.jpg" alt="johnderrick-sigx00x72" width="200" height="72" /><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Power of Belief</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-309" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px 10px;" title="subconscious-mind1" src="http://johnderrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/subconscious-mind1.gif" alt="subconscious-mind1" width="204" height="200" />Where did you get your beliefs from?  Did you pick them up along the beaten path of life, or were they given to you by your parents when you were still a child?</p>
<p>No matter where your beliefs are from, I challenge you to take a long hard honest look at them and see if they are serving you.</p>
<p>Since your beliefs are creating your personal world, it would seem wise to only hang on to beliefs that serve you.</p>
<p>For example, if you believe that life is tough, you will be creating a very tough life for yourself.  You might believe that to be true because your parents had a tough life and you have had a tough life too.</p>
<p>So what?</p>
<p>Who cares what your life has been like before today.   The past is simply the result of previous thinking.</p>
<p>If you do not like having a tough life I suggest you replace that belief!</p>
<p>I believe that things in life go easily and smoothly.  I also believe that I can have anything I put my mind to.</p>
<p>So when I want something, I simply pull out a <a href="http://www.manifestingcards.com/" target="_blank">Manifesting Card</a>, and I focus on the end result of already possessing it.</p>
<p>Then I sit back and watch the universe re-align things in a way to make my wish come true.</p>
<p>How easy is that?</p>
<p>Yes, I sometimes have to take action, and when I see the events align in a way that leads me to believe that I need to take a small easy action I jump at the opportunity because the universe loves speed.</p>
<p>I USED to believe that life was tough.   I replaced that belief and now life is easy.</p>
<p>I USED to believe that &#8220;money was hard to come by&#8221;, and now money comes in steady and when I need more something suddenly happens to give me the more of what I need.</p>
<p>I USED to feel guilty when I went out spending money, but now I get home and usually find that I earned more than normal that day and like magic the &#8220;extra&#8221; money I spent is already replaced.</p>
<p>I USED to be unhealthy, and now (<a href="http://johnderrick.com/law-of-attraction/using-the-law-of-attraction-for-health-can-have-surprising-results/" target="_blank">You Wont Believe This &#8211; Click Here For Details</a>) my health is better than anytime in life, even though I am the oldest I have ever been.  (Of course, so are you at this very moment.)</p>
<p>I highly recommend you change your beliefs if they are working against you.  You can do this with the power of <a href="http://subliminalvideos.info/" target="_blank">SUBLIMINAL VIDEOS</a>, or <a href="http://johnderrick.com/SubliminalStudios" target="_blank">SUBLIMINAL AUDIOS</a>, or Daily Affirmations, but if you need someone to walk guide you every step of the way,  you will want to check out the <a href="http://www.yoursecretcourse.com/" target="_blank">SECRET COURSE</a>.</p>
<p>Best wishes to you in all your future successes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-309" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 15px;" title="subconscious-mind1" src="http://johnderrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/subconscious-mind1-300x294.gif" alt="" width="300" height="294" />Deb wrote in to ask me this important question.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Which is in control, the conscious mind or the subconscious mind?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>It is a good question, with an answer that will most likely surprise you.<br />
Your conscious mind is that part of your mind that you are aware of.  It is what you use to decide things.  You made a conscious decision to read this article.  Because it was a conscious decision you are aware of it.</p>
<p>Your subconscious mind is the part of you that you are not aware of. It is always working and it acts as the lens from which you view the world.</p>
<p><strong>So which one is in control?</strong></p>
<p>The quick and short answer is both. But there is a catch.</p>
<p><strong>THE BAD NEWS:</strong></p>
<p>The bad news is that your subconscious mind, the one you are not even consciously aware of, is having a huge impact on every aspect of your life.  It determines how you view the world.  It is constantly working&#8230;.  which means that it is constantly attracting and shaping your world according to the rules of <a href="http://www.mysecretcourse.com/" target="_blank">the law of attraction</a>. The subconscious mind is attracting to you every minute of the day even though you remain unaware of it&#8217;s desires.</p>
<p><strong>THE GOOD NEWS:</strong></p>
<p>The good news is that your conscious mind (the thoughts you are aware of) is what has programmed your subconscious mind.  How it did this was through repetition.</p>
<p><strong>For Example: </strong>When you drove a car for the first time it took a lot of concentration and focus.  You had to use your conscious mind to make every adjustment to the steering wheel and remember to look in all directions and to watch for cars and people.</p>
<p>After years of driving, your subconscious mind became programmed (through repetition) and can now handle a lot of the driving for you.  In fact, many people don&#8217;t even remember driving for miles at a time.  I remember back when I worked at a job (ick) that required me to drive to work everyday&#8230;..  Most days I drove on auto pilot the entire drive.  It was my subconscious mind that did the driving for me.  <strong>(Side Note:</strong> I am soooo thankful I get to <a href="http://www.yourwealthcourse.com/" target="_blank">work from home</a>!<strong>)</strong></p>
<p>If something unusual were to happen, the subconscious mind would suddenly hand control back to the conscious mind , because it has no idea how to react to something new. So if a child suddenly ran into the road, you would suddenly find yourself consciously aware of driving and your conscious mind would have to react quickly.</p>
<p><strong>That is what your conscious mind does best&#8230;  it reacts to it&#8217;s environment.</strong></p>
<p><strong>What does this have to do with the Law of Attraction?</strong></p>
<p>Consider how you were brought up.  All the things your parents and teachers told you repetitively are now living a life of their own in your subconscious mind.  Your views on money, health, love, fairness, religion, morals and just about everything were shaped early on in your life.</p>
<p>Remember, your subconscious mind is programmed through repetition, so if you heard &#8220;money doesn&#8217;t grow on trees&#8221; or &#8220;life is hard&#8221; over and over again, guess what your subconscious mind holds to be true?</p>
<p>Your subconscious mind does not judge.  It does not make decisions of any kind.  It simply knows to be true what it was taught over and over again.</p>
<p><strong>SO WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?</strong></p>
<p>Simple.  Think about what you want, and repeat it over and over again.  This is how you teach (or program) your subconscious mind.</p>
<p>Using a <a href="http://subliminalvideos.info/" target="_blank">subliminal video</a> (<a href="http://subliminalvideos.info/" target="_blank">like the free one here</a>) puts you on the fast track to re-programming your subconscious mind.  It works by showing you pleasant images, with pleasant sounds and by flashing words onto the screen that are faster than your conscious mind can read.  This allows you to bypass your conscious mind and directly program your subconscious mind.</p>
<p><strong>WHY?</strong></p>
<p>Your conscious mind questions things.  It debates things.  It doubts the truth of statements.  This all inhibits the programming of your subconscious mind.</p>
<p><strong>For example: </strong>Pretend the words &#8220;You Are Healthy&#8221; popped up on the screen.  If the words went by so fast that you were not consciously aware of them, it will be picked up by your subconscious mind alone.  Now seeing that once will do nothing, but if you saw  &#8220;You Are Healthy&#8221; thousands of times, it would start to have an effect.  Millions of times and your subconscious mind would accept that as a fact.</p>
<p>BUT&#8230;.  If the words &#8220;You Are Healthy&#8221; appeared long enough for you to read them consciously, your would probably think of reasons as to why that statement is not true.  You may think, &#8220;Well, my right knee has been giving me some trouble&#8230;. Oh, and I have asthma and my blood pressure isn&#8217;t so good&#8230;. My weight may be a little high&#8230; other than that I guess I am pretty healthy&#8221;.</p>
<p>Of course that would defeat the purpose entirely, because you just gave your subconscious mind a list of reasons as to why you are NOT healthy instead of why you ARE healthy.</p>
<p><strong>What I Recommend</strong></p>
<p>Try the f<a href="http://subliminalvideos.info/" target="_blank">ree subliminal video here</a>.  This is a great starting place to training your subconscious mind.</p>
<p>Once you are serious about being the best person you can be, and attaining your hearts desires, you will check out <a href="http://yoursecretcourse.com/Ultimate-Subliminal-Video-Collection/index.php" target="_blank">The Ultimate Subliminal Video Collection</a>.   That is an astounding collection of subliminal videos all in one tidy package.  I remain very impressed with the quality.</p>
<p>Do NOT be fooled into thinking that you can use a subliminal product just once.  I&#8217;m sorry, but that is simply not true.  REPTITION is trainings your subconscious mind.  Practice makes perfect, and in the world of subliminal videos practice is as simple as watching a relaxing video.  It really couldn&#8217;t be easier.</p>
<p><strong>Why Not Make Your Own Personalized Subliminal Video Yourself?????</strong></p>
<p>Imagine being in control of every aspect of what goes into your own personal video!  Where YOU are choose the the images and sounds&#8230; to create the perfect  subliminal video made just for you&#8230;   Click <a href="http://yoursecretcourse.com/Make-Your-Own-Subliminal-Movie/index.php" target="_blank">Here to see how easy it is to make your own subliminal movie.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember when you were young and everything in the world was fresh and new?</p>
<p>Life was more exciting and full of promise.  I believed I would change the world, and even though I have embarked on a career that has helped many people, when I was a child possibilities were limitless.</p>
<p>One of the amazing things about being a child is getting to do things for the first time.  The world was new and exciting.  Every experience had a first time and nothing compares to the excitement of doing something for the first time.</p>
<p>Remember your first kiss?</p>
<p>Even though I love my wife very much, a simple peck on the lips these days is common place and in fact is expected whenever we part each others company or when she comes home after being out all day.</p>
<p>Remember the first time you drove a car?</p>
<p>My nerves were screaming as I drove my parents car down the highway at night.  Sure, it was a straight stretch of road and today I drive without even noticing it, but the first time was a very different kind of experience.</p>
<p>Those first times make you feel alive.</p>
<p>The first time you vacation somewhere everything it new.  The first time I went to Las Vegas was far more exciting than the third time.  My first trip to Victoria, British Columbia was wonderful and more exciting and fun than any time I have visited since.</p>
<p>How long has it been since you felt alive?</p>
<p>Now that I am in my thirties I have to admit that most of what I do I have done many times before.  It may be comforting, but it doesn&#8217;t feel as exciting and vibrant as doing something for the first time.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t take any money to do something new.  In fact, you can take something that you do regularly and change it up so that you are doing it in a way that is new and exciting.</p>
<p>Even something as mundane as taking a shower.  Sure, the first time you took a shower by yourself it was probably pretty exciting.  You were not sure how to get the water exactly right and didn&#8217;t know how long it would last.  There were new sights and smells and even the feel of the water falling onto your body was a new experience.</p>
<p>Tonight I decided to do something new.  It was on a whim.  Something that I had never done before.  I took a shower in the dark.</p>
<p>If you are anything like my wife, you probably think I am a bit off my rocker, but I assure you that taking a shower in the dark, at least for me, was an exciting new experience.</p>
<p>It was completely dark, so just moving in the bathroom was a new experience.  I noticed that I kept the water extra hot, probably because the blackness around me felt so cold.  Every noise in the house stood out.  Reaching for the shampoo was no problem, but I had to use my sense of smell to find the right bottle among the many bottles that belong to my wife.  Rinsing soap I could not see was an interesting experience.</p>
<p>In essence, I took an otherwise mundane experience and made it into something completely new.</p>
<p>Another option is to take a cold shower, where you only turn on the cold water.  WOW&#8230;  that is completely different from what I am used to also.  I guarantee you will feel awake after one of those&#8230;  if you can stand it for the length of a full shower.</p>
<p>I just rearranged the furniture in my house and now every room has that new exciting feeling.  My front room is so different that every day when I walk out into it I am surprised.  Sure, the effect will only last for a week or two at tops&#8230;.  that&#8217;s because I will soon be used to it this way.</p>
<p>The other day I bought a new piece of software for editing videos.  The first hour I thought to myself &#8220;wow, this is nothing like I&#8217;ve ever used before&#8221;.  Now, a just a couple days later it has already lost it&#8217;s excitement and is just another tool that I enjoy using.</p>
<p>How many gadgets have you bought and were excited to use it for the first time?  New cell phones are a great example of this.  It&#8217;s exciting to open the box and play with the new phone discovering all the features, but a month or two later it&#8217;s just a phone.</p>
<p>Here are some ideas of ways you can feel young again,</p>
<p><strong>1. Go to a new restaurant</strong></p>
<p>Try to pick somewhere with a new kind of food that you have never tried. Mexican, Greek, Indian, Russian, Middle Eastern, Tai, Chinese, Mongolian, Cajun, Sushi, or something you have never tried before.</p>
<p><strong>2. Try a new sport you&#8217;ve never tried.</strong></p>
<p><strong>3. Try using your non-dominant hand for a day.</strong><br />
It&#8217;s amazing how strange it feels to do something with my left hand.  Even something as simple as signing my own name.</p>
<p><strong>4. Take part in an activity new to you</strong>&#8230;<br />
Try your hand at bingo or a play a game of pool or use a batting cage.  The world is full of activities that most of us have not tried.  You don&#8217;t have to be good at it in order to enjoy doing something new.</p>
<p><strong>5. Get involved with a charity or community service.<br />
</strong>Volunteering is a great way to interact with others and give back to the community at the same time. And sharing your time is not just good for your <em>mental</em> health. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University, found that as older adults participated in Experience Corps, they showed both mental <em>and</em> physical improvements, including increased strength and endurance. By choosing activities that are personally rewarding, you may discover similar benefits.</p>
<p><strong>6. Be a tourist in your own town!</strong><br />
You&#8217;ll be surprised how much there is to do right where you live!  Contact your local chamber of commerce or look your city or area up in Google.com  and you&#8217;ll be amazed at what you find to do and sights to see you probably never seen in your own area.</p>
<p><strong>7.  Join a Local Group.<br />
</strong>You can check out the website:  <a href="http://www.meetup.com/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/</a> and see what is going on where you live.  There are thousands of groups of people getting together for everything you can imagine and more.</p>
<p><strong>8. Explore a new area. </strong><br />
It doesn&#8217;t have to be anywhere in specific, you could drive to a city that you have never been to before and spend the day exploring all the neat sights, sounds and local shops.  If you prefer the outdoors, when not hike a new trail or visit a lake or camp grounds you&#8217;ve never been to.</p>
<p><strong>9. Explore New Romance, or Re-Kindle An Existing Romance. </strong><br />
It doesn&#8217;t matter how long you have been together with your spouse, you can rekindle that spark and find brand new excitement.  Share a candlelit dinner, create a thoughtful gift or take your partner out dancing.  Suprise him or her with something brand new and you may just find yourself pleasantly surprised with a new romantic excitement&#8230;  just like in the &#8220;good ole days&#8221;.</p>
<p>If your single, try dating someone unique or unusual and explore outside your normal comfort zone.</p>
<p>Of course, if you really want to spice things up in the bedroom&#8230;.  you may want to explore <a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/500-Love-Making-Secrets/index.php" target="_blank">500 Love Making Secrets.</a> It&#8217;s even Oprah approved!  Okay&#8230; nuff said on that.</p>
<p><strong>10.  One of the best ways to feel young, and keep your mind young&#8230;  is to challenge your mind with something brand new. </strong><br />
Learning a new language is one of the surest ways to keep your mind young.  <a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/RocketSpanish/index.php" target="_blank">Rocket Spanish, </a>is supposed to be the fastest way to begin speaking Spanish.  No only does it keep your mind young, but it opens the door to a whole new world of conversation and eaves dropping.  You&#8217;d be amazed at what Spanish speaking people will say to each other in front of you because they presume you can&#8217;t understand what they are saying.  That alone makes for great fun.</p>

<p><strong>Your Habits!</strong></p>
<p>As you sit and read this, everything about you has been created by yesterday&#8217;s habits.</p>
<p>No, I am not talking about bad habits such as smoking.  I am talking about the habits that make up everyday life.  For example, if you go to bed about the same time each night, then when you go to bed has become a habit.</p>
<p>Truth be told&#8230;.  You are a collection of habits.</p>
<p>Are you overweight?  Unhealthy?  Low in energy?  Then most likely you have a habit of eating unhealthy foods.  <a href="http://www.johnderrick.com/ns/eat-right-feel-good/" target="_blank">Eating Healthy</a> can be easy and fun&#8230;.  and even though it is only a small part of your life, it can have drastic changes, such as:  Weight Loss, Increased Energy, quicker healing, less illnesses, younger looking hair and skin, and reversing a whole slew of problems extra weight can cause.</p>
<p>Eating bad foods are not a problem.  You can eat Pizza and ice cream&#8230;.  it&#8217;s the habit of eating poorly that IS the problem.  If you have a habit of eating healthy and only eat pizza on occasion, then pizza will not be a problem.   (Unless of course you decide to <a href="http://johnderrick.com/miscellaneous/unusual-news/shocking-dairy-detox-this-will-blow-your-mind/" target="_blank">go off dairy completely </a>like me)</p>
<p>Habits can work for you&#8230; or they can work against you.  <a href="http://www.johnderrick.com/ns/eat-right-feel-good/" target="_blank">Eating healthy</a> is obviously one habit that works for you.</p>
<p><a href="http://youcanthinkpositive.com/" target="_blank">Thinking Positively </a>is another great habit.  I was raised in a household of extremely negative people.  It has taken me many years to develop a positive outlook on life.</p>
<p>I promise you, <a href="http://youcanthinkpositive.com/" target="_blank">positive thinking</a> is a habit that will benefit you tremendously.  Not only will your health improve (lower blood pressure and lower risks for many diseases), but you will enjoy life more.</p>
<p>Of course, the <a href="http://www.yoursecretcourse.com/" target="_blank">Law of Attraction </a>works IN PART on positive thinking as well.</p>
<p>The best positive habit I have is my daily use of the <a href="http://www.manifestingcards.com/" target="_blank">Manifesting Cards</a>.  This habit actively shapes my life each day.  Sure, it only takes a few minutes twice a day, but it keeps my mind focused and it gets me what I want.  Every single time.  Without fail.</p>
<p>I used to be a drinker in my early twenties.  It was a habit that I gave up.  Do I still drink?  On occasion I do.  I gave up the habit, but I don&#8217;t tell myself I can&#8217;t have a drink.</p>
<p>In fact, if I try to tell myself I can&#8217;t have something, I find myself wanting it even more.  So I never forbid anything that I enjoy.  I merely remove the habit of its use if it is not beneficial.</p>
<p>Many people fail because they forbid themselves things&#8230;  such as the foods you enjoy.  It&#8217;s not the food&#8230;  it is the habit of eating that food (if it&#8217;s bad for you) that is the problem.</p>
<p><strong>HINT:</strong> When you make a habit out of <a href="http://www.johnderrick.com/ns/eat-right-feel-good/" target="_blank">eating healthy</a>, you will find yourself enjoying the flavor of healthy foods.  (Take a look at <a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/dairyfree-cookbook/index.php" target="_blank">this Cookbook</a> as an example)</p>
<p>This line of thinking can be applied to any part of your life.  If you want something, set up a habit that brings you closer to having what it is that you want.</p>
<p>If you want to shed fat, set up a habit of cutting a few calories.  Or perhaps create a habit of exercise.  (Nothing is stopping you from doing both.)</p>
<p>A great way to improve you life is to identify your habits and find which habits work for you and which habits work against you.  Once you know, you can adjust your habits by making small changes in your daily life, and in the end you will be rewarded with HUGE positive changes.</p>
<p>Seriously consider getting <a href="http://www.manifestingcards.com/" target="_blank">Manifesting Cards</a> if you have not already.  It will help you create positive habits and help you focus on what is important to you in your life.  Then you can attract what you want in just minutes each day.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mysecretcourse.com/" target="_blank">My Secret Course </a>includes <a href="http://www.manifestingcards.com/" target="_blank">Manifesting Cards</a>, and a slew of other Law of Attraction books that have the power to transform your life from where you are stuck today &#8212; to where you really want to be.</p>
<p>In the end, who you are comes down to how you have been acting and thinking in the past&#8230; and that is completely defined by your habits.</p>
<p>So go on and do what you can to create a life filled with healthy, happy and <a href="http://www.yourwealthcourse.net/" target="_blank">money making</a> habits!</p>
<p>Best Wishes,</p>

<p>John Derrick</p>
<p>PS &#8211; Just about anything in excess can become a bad habit.  Even something as harmless as video games can take over your life.  The key is to find a balance.</p>
<p>PPS &#8211; When you are having that glass of wine, or drinking that beer, or eating a slice of pizza.  ENJOY YOURSELF.  Don&#8217;t feel guilty.  If it&#8217;s not a habit, it should be enjoyed to its fullest!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float: left;" title="cheese" src="http://johnderrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/cheese-300x212.gif" alt="" width="300" height="212" />I am not a vegan&#8230;  and not a vegetarian.  I don&#8217;t have any strange eating habits except that<a href="http://www.johnderrick.com/ns/eat-right-feel-good/" target="_blank"> I do like to eat foods that make me feel good</a> and <a href="http://www.johnderrick.com/ns/eat-right-feel-good/" target="_blank">foods that give me abundant energy</a>.</p>
<p>But I have been a milk drinking, cheese eating dairy lover since I was a small child.  I grew up drinking milk every single day in my breakfast cereal and as a snack after school and the drink served with dinner.</p>
<p>A while ago I cut out most of my milk drinking and replaced it with Soy milk.  Of course now I am told that soy milk MIGHT be bad&#8230;  mostly it&#8217;s one famous doctor who says soy milk is bad, and even though I have not seen any concrete evidence, the anti-soymilk campaign moves onward.  That&#8217;s okay, because Almond milk tastes great and so does Oat milk&#8230;  but I&#8217;m sure someone is already writing me an email to tell me the evils of these milks also.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">WARNING:</span> <a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/Master-Cleanse/index.php" target="_blank">Don&#8217;t try to detox on your own</a>&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="background-color: yellow;"> <strong>What I want to tell you is shocking&#8230;</strong></span></p>
<p>I had no idea.  Honestly.  And I like to think that I am &#8220;in the know&#8221; about a lot of things.</p>
<p>Yes&#8230; I did know that dairy is loaded with fat and cholesterol.   That is why I limited my intake of it, reasonably.</p>
<p>About a week ago my wife said she had been talking to a friend of her&#8217;s and that the two of them had decided to go a week off of dairy.  They wanted to know if I would join them.</p>
<p>She had some printed pages that touted all the health benefits, but without a moments hesitation I agreed to join them.</p>
<p>I grabbed<a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/dairyfree-cookbook/index.php" target="_blank"> the best dairy free cookbook</a> I could find (<a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/dairyfree-cookbook/index.php" target="_blank">I love this book</a>) and I was ready to begin.  Of course I ate a good deal of dairy on the weekend leading up to the Monday we began the 7 days of no dairy.</p>
<p>I wondered how great would I feel after a week of no dairy?  Or perhaps nothing would seem different and 8 days later I would be enjoying a piece of cheese.</p>
<p>Mmmmm  Cheese&#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>BOY WAS I WRONG</strong></p>
<p>Giving up dairy was about as hard as I expected for the first couple of days.  By the end of day two I was feeling pretty ill, which is out of the norm for me.  Honestly, ever since I flipped my life upside down with the <a href="http://www.mysecretcourse.com/" target="_blank">law of attraction</a> I have become a high energy and healthy kind of guy.  The kind of guy who always feels great.</p>
<p>Day three, instead of rolling out of bed with enthusiasm and excitement for the day ahead, I woke up feeling more tired than I was when I went to bed.</p>
<p>In fact, I felt groggy and brain foggy all day.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll skip the day-to-day play-by-play, and tell you that for seven days straight I have felt terrible, in different ways.  I can&#8217;t concentrate&#8230;  I am experiencing headaches, which is something I never have.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t have the deep down energy, and I tire easily.  My stomach is bloated and I am retaining water.</p>
<p>My skin has broken out in three different kinds of rashes in three different places on my body.  In general I am itchy&#8230; and honestly I am cranky.  Strange emotions are coming up&#8230; anxiety and anger, which I have not felt in many&#8230; many years.</p>
<p>I am even <a href="http://johnderrick.com/11-cent-sales/the-next-11-cent-sale/" target="_blank">late on the 11 cent sale </a>I promised all of you&#8230;. because of this brain fog and lack of energy.</p>
<p>Long story short, going off dairy cold turkey causes the body to go into a detox.  When I search online I find claims that going off dairy for one week will cause an entire gallon of mucus to exit your body.   Obviously, things are not always pretty.</p>
<p>Today it is 10 days later, and I don&#8217;t have any desire to go back. <a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/dairyfree-cookbook/index.php" target="_blank">Food tastes great without dairy.</a> It seems that at the 10 day mark, for me at least, the cravings have mostly subsided.</p>

<td>Now many of you know that I quit smoking cold turkey the day my son was born. I was in the room with my wife and waiting for our little baby boy to be born, and I really needed a cigarette. The moment he came out and I cut that cord, I KNEW RIGHT THEN I would never smoke again, because I wanted to be around to see my son grow up. Even though I was a bar tender back then, and I worked around smokers who all tried to taunt me into picking the habit back up (many smokers can&#8217;t stand ex-smokers among them) It is a promise that I have always kept. As a matter of fact, it was Aug 1st, 1999 when I stopped smoking&#8230; 9 years and 12 days and counting&#8230;</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>I CAN HONESTLY SAY&#8230;</p>
<p>QUITING DAIRY IS HARDER THAN QUITING CIGARETTES</td>

<p>Seriously&#8230;.</p>
<p>My body never went through this kind of hell when I quit smoking.  Sure, I have cravings&#8230;  and it was difficult&#8230;  but I didn&#8217;t get bad breath, skin rashes, headaches, lack of energy, bloating, water retention, and a host of other not-so-pleasant physical problems.</p>
<p>The only craving I have is for cheese.  I LOVED CHEESE.  Now I know why&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>THIS IS GOING TO BLOW YOU AWAY</strong></p>
<p>Cheese is actually physically addictive&#8230;   no kidding.  I must have missed the Surgeon Generals Warning label on the block of cheese.</p>
<p><strong>YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT DRUG IS INSIDE CHEESE!!!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Check this out:</strong></p>
<p>So here is an excerpt from an article in the Orlando Sentinel July 13 2003:</p>
<blockquote><p>Of all the potentially addicting foods, cheese may be the most complex. In research studies using vegan and vegetarian diets to control cholesterol or reduce body weight, most participants soon forget the lure of ice cream, sour cream, and even burgers and chicken. But for many people, the taste for cheese lingers on and on. Yes, 70 percent of its calories may come from waist-augmenting fat, and, ounce for ounce, it may harbor more cholesterol than a steak. But that cheese habit is tough to break.Why is cheese so addicting? Certainly not because of its aroma, which is perilously close to old socks. The first hint of a biochemical explanation came in 1981, when scientists at Wellcome Research Laboratories in Research Triangle Park, N.C., found a substance in dairy products that looked remarkably like morphine. After a complex series of tests, they determined that, surprisingly enough, it actually was morphine. By a fluke of nature, the enzymes that produce opiates are not confined to poppies &#8212; they also hide inside cows&#8217; livers. So traces of morphine can pass into the animal&#8217;s bloodstream and end up in milk and milk products. The amounts are far too small to explain cheese&#8217;s appeal. But nonetheless, the discovery led scientists on their search for opiate compounds in dairy products.</p>
<p>And they found them. Opiates hide inside casein, the main dairy protein. As casein molecules are digested, they break apart to release tiny opiate molecules, called casomorphins. One of these compounds has about one-tenth the opiate strength of morphine. <span style="color: #ff0000;">The especially addicting power of cheese may be due to the fact that the process of cheese-making removes water,lactose and whey proteins so that casein is concentrated.</span> Scientists are now trying to tease out whether these opiate molecules work strictly within the digestive tract or whether they pass into the bloodstream and reach the brain directly.</p>
<p>(some paragraphs about chocolate addiction snipped)</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">The cheese industry is miles ahead of them, having gone to great lengths to identify people who are most vulnerable to addiction. It dubs them &#8220;cheese cravers,&#8221; and tracks their age, educational level and other demographics so as to target them with marketing strategies that are tough to ignore.</span> With a $200 million annual research and marketing budget, the dairy industry is not content to have you just sprinkling a little mozzarella on your salad. It is looking for those Americans who will eat it straight out of the package, whatever the cost to their waistlines or cholesterol levels.</p>
<p>At a &#8220;Cheese Forum&#8221; held Dec. 5, 2000, Dick Cooper, the vice president of Cheese Marketing for Dairy Management Inc., laid out the industry&#8217;s scheme for identifying potential addicts and keeping them hooked. <span style="color: #ff0000;">In his slide presentation, which was released to our organization under the Freedom of Information Act, he asked the question, &#8220;What do we want our marketing program to do?&#8221; and then gave the answer: &#8220;Trigger the cheese craving.&#8221; He described how, in a partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the dairy industry launched Wendy&#8217;s Cheddar Lover&#8217;s Bacon Cheeseburger, which single-handedly pushed 2.25 million pounds of cheese during the promotion period</span>. That works out to 380 tons of fat and 1.2 tons of pure cholesterol in the cheese alone. A similar promotion with Pizza Hut launched the &#8220;Ultimate Cheese Pizza,&#8221; which added an entire pound of cheese to a single pizza and sold five million pounds of it during a six-week promotion in 2000. <span style="color: #ff0000;">The presentation concluded with a cartoon of a playground slide with a large spider web woven to trap children as they reached the bottom. The caption had one spider saying to another, &#8220;If we pull this off, we&#8217;ll eat like kings.&#8221;</span></p></blockquote>
<p>I am sharing this with you because I care.   I wish someone had told me how harsh detoxing could be.</p>
<p>I wish someone had told me how addictive Cheese can by.  Or even mentioned the morphine compound found inside.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m the kind of guy who turns down pain pills, even after a surgery&#8230;</p>
<p>I never knew I was ingesting Morphine with my cheese and crackers.</p>
<p>So if you decide to clean your body up&#8230; and want to cleanse yourself without all the horrible side-effects that I have had&#8230;  you really need to <a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/Master-Cleanse/index.php" target="_blank">READ THIS NOW.</a></p>
<p>Overwhelmingly I support the <a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/Master-Cleanse/" target="_blank">Master Cleanse </a>if you want to purify your body.</p>
<p>Me&#8230;  I just made a split second decision to join my wife and her friend&#8230;  I decided to make myself the subject of an experiment if you will&#8230;</p>
<p>For those of you wondering about my wife and her friend.  YES&#8230; they had a rough ride also, including migraine headaches (much worse than mine), irritability, skin breakouts (body acne), and emotional instability (although don&#8217;t tell my wife I pointed that out&#8230; at least not until she is over the detoxing)</p>
<p>And that is what they cared to share&#8230; most people are not as forthcoming with their dirty details like I am.   What can I say&#8230; I try to live my life like an open book&#8230; for all to see, observe and hopefully learn from my mistakes.</p>
<p>Oh yes&#8230;  there has been a positive thing about this diary detox so far&#8230;.  I have lost 5 pounds even though I feel like I am eating more than usual, and my wife has lost 4 pounds.. her friend didn&#8217;t offer up any weight related conversation.</p>
<p>SO&#8230;  if you want to go off dairy please don&#8217;t let this scare you.   Instead, just do it slowly.  If I had known then what I know now, I would have simply cut my intake of dairy items down over a 2 &#8211; 3 week period and went off it slowly.</p>
<p>Knowing what I know now&#8230;  I just can&#8217;t bring myself to ingest anything dairy.</p>
<p>Wishing you the best day,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-159" style="border: 2px solid black; margin: 10px; float: left;" title="Subliminal Videos - Program Your Mind For Success" src="http://johnderrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/2222222222222222222222.jpg" alt="" width="197" height="205" />Most of the tools that we work with for self development deal with the conscious mind.  Tools like <a href="http://www.manifestingcards.com/" target="_blank">Manifesting Cards</a>, <a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/affirmations-software/" target="_blank">Affirmations </a>and <a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/Free_Vision_Board_Book/" target="_blank">Vision Boards</a> are all powerful tools to help us create a better life&#8230;.</p>
<p><a href="http://subliminalvideos.info/" target="_blank">Subliminal Videos</a>, on the other hand, are designed to program the subconscious mind.  According to Wikipedia the term subconscious is defined as &#8220;existing or operating in the mind beneath or beyond conscious awareness.&#8221;</p>
<p>How does the mind &#8220;learn&#8221; things?  In a word&#8230;.  Repetition.</p>
<p>Remember learning the ABC&#8217;s when you were a child?  All you had to do was to repeat &#8220;A&#8221; over and over or sing that little alphabet song until one day you found yourself knowing the entire alphabet.</p>
<p>Repetition is how humans program their mind, and that is exactly how <a href="http://subliminalvideos.info/" target="_blank">Subliminal Videos</a> are designed.  They are short and to the point, and they loop back and repeat over and over so that your subconscious &#8220;learns&#8221;.</p>
<p><a href="http://subliminalvideos.info/" target="_blank">Subliminal Videos</a>, are designed to attract a better life and over come barriers&#8230;. One of them, the 5k Per Day Video,  is specifically oriented towards attracting money to you&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://subliminalvideos.info/" target="_blank">Subliminal Videos</a> break down long standing road blocks that prevent you from having the life that you desire most.</p>
<p>In order to be most effective, you should not try to read the words when they appear. <a href="http://subliminalvideos.info/" target="_blank">Subliminal Videos</a> are designed to work on a subconscious level&#8230; not the conscious level..</p>
<p>The first thing I wanted to know was what every word said and I wanted to censor it and make sure it all met with my approval&#8230;.  which of course is completely the opposite of how subconscious programming works&#8230;</p>
<p>In fact, once you are consciously aware of what each word says in the <a href="http://subliminalvideos.info/" target="_blank">Subliminal Video</a>, your conscious mind will resist what it doesn&#8217;t think is true&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>For example, </strong>if the words  &#8220;I am healthy&#8221; were to flash up, and your conscious awake mind  knew that those words were on the screen , your mind &#8211; in a split second &#8211; would evaluate if that were true or not.  If you had a cold, or anything wrong with your health, your conscious mind would reject it and say &#8220;this is not true&#8221;.</p>
<p>The same goes for &#8220;I am wealthy&#8221; if your conscious mind does not think that you are wealthy, it will reject the words.</p>
<p>The subconscious on the other hand does not judge.  It will simply accept the programming of &#8220;I am wealthy&#8221;&#8230; and if the subconscious mind is repeatedly told that it is wealthy, after awhile it will believe it.  Your subconscious mind will expect to be wealthy&#8230;   and when this happens everything in your life will begin to shift in order to support that belief.</p>
<p>Your conscious rational mind makes it&#8217;s decisions based on what has been programmed into your subconscious mind.</p>
<p>When you see a million dollar mansion, your conscious mind &#8211; in a fraction of a second &#8211; reaches down into your subconscious mind and decides how it wants to react to the visual of a million dollar mansion.</p>
<p>How you view it is completely dependent on what you have programmed your subconscious mind  over all the your years of life.</p>
<p>Some will see it and think &#8220;It must be nice&#8221;&#8230;. or  &#8220;Wish I could have one of those&#8221;&#8230;.  or &#8220;wonder who they robbed to get that&#8221;.</p>
<p>If you believe that money is bad,  or that being a millionaire is somehow bad, you are going to push that away from you.  You will keep yourself from ever feeling welcome to having a million dollar mansion.</p>
<p><strong>What if you could program your subconscious mind to accept the belief that you are wealthy and that you live in a million dollar mansion?</strong></p>
<p>Using the <a href="http://subliminalvideos.info/" target="_blank">Subliminal Videos</a> you can do just that&#8230; and it&#8217;s as easy as watching the videos for as little as ten minutes a day&#8230;</p>
<p>Now when you see a million dollar mansion, you think &#8220;YES&#8221;&#8230;  and you will pull it toward you.</p>
<p>You will accept wealth, and no longer push it away.</p>
<p>But this doesn&#8217;t work JUST for million dollar mansions&#8230;  it works for everything you want.</p>
<p>As you can see&#8230; this all begins at the subconscious level&#8230;. and working there is a HUGE short cut to your success.</p>
<p>You can say &#8220;I live in a mansion&#8221; every single day for a year, and while a positive affirmation such as this is useful, it will NEVER have NEAR the impact of watching a <a href="http://subliminalvideos.info/" target="_blank">Subliminal Video</a> that shows you a picture of a million dollar mansion (a picture is worth a thousand words), along with audio and subliminal messages in the form of words that support the image that you are seeing.</p>
<p>That is why I strongly believe that <a href="http://subliminalvideos.info/" target="_blank">Subliminal Videos </a>are a major short cut to manifesting.</p>
<p>I believe it so much, that I am giving YOU a $97 <a href="http://subliminalvideos.info/" target="_blank">Subliminal Video</a> for free.</p>

<p>Success Be With You,</p>
