IF I WERE THIS BEAUTIFUL

      People wish they were prettier. If I were beautiful I'd be happy. If I were rich I'd be happy. If I were rich AND beautiful, like one of those models on magazine covers I'd be really happy. I'd have it all.

     But this beauty committed suicide. Twenty-year-old model Ruslana Korshunova jumped to her death from the ninth-floor balcony of her New York City apartment.  Troubled by her thoughts. Unable to not believe her thoughts.

    In the accounts I read of her death all kinds of people rushed around speculating on the circumstances that led to her suicide. A love affair gone wrong? Some major money setbacks? And try as they might they will never find the reason because the cause was a thought in her mind. A thought she didn't know how to not believe. That's always the only reason.

    The mindshift one makes to disengage from believing one's thoughts is so liberating that once you've done it it's hard to imagine the opposite. The velcro that keeps you stuck on the negative thought. No shift. No knowledge of the gearbox. Just pain. From thought.

    When I was a little boy growing up I was so scared of bullies. They never really hurt me, looking back. But they scared me. Because of my inability to shift away from the thought that they were frightening threats to me. It's a rare parent who can teach the shift. So the child...in this case me...looked for salvation elsewhere. Sometimes in comic books about Mighty Mouse. My hero. I pretended I was Mighty Mouse. Then I was okay. A new thought, a happy one. I wrote about my dependency on Mighty Mouse in my new book FEARLESS and some people have already responded to that by sending me pictures of mighty mouse. I wrote that just seeing his picture still made me feel good feelings, so people have sent me his picture, wanting me to feel those good feelings. I thank you. Mighty Mouse was fearless.

"Pineapple princess", he calls me pineapple princess all day
As he plays his ukulele on the hill above the bay
"Pineapple princess, I love you, you're the sweetest girl I've seen"
"Some day we're gonna marry and you'll be my pineapple queen"

    Of course you recognize the lyrics above from the classic Annette Funicello song, "Pineapple Princess."  It's a song I play quite often, especially when I'm blue.  It never fails to pick me up...but not as fast as a photo of this young princess here, Lucinda Piper Freyer Jones. She is a good friend of mine who lives in California.

    Children like Lucinda spend most of their time in the Alpha brain wave state. That's why children learn so effortlessly, like the way they learn a second or third language. As Peter Ragnar says, "All an infant needs to do is listen and imitate. But adults, with an assortment of concerns and mental stresses, struggle with it as if it were a great task. An infant raised in a relaxed carefree, mentally enriching environment absorbs like a sponge."

COACHING SCHOOL UPDATE:

     Two wonderful people registered this week for the upcoming Coaching Prosperity School in October. I'll share their names with you in a future blog, but suffice it to say that the attendees at this school will be learning how to build a coaching practice from people who have rather astonishing track records to share.....

    ........go to the COACHING PROSPERITY SCHOOL page on my web site to find out more http://www.SteveChandler.com/CoachingSchool.html and email me (100Ways@Compuserve.com) for a free CD called How to Double Your Income as a Coach...something that shouldn't be all that hard to do especially if you undercharge like most coaches and consultants do...you don't have to be a coach to attend the school, you can be a consultant or public speaker or any combination.....here are the words of a previous attendee....

     "I've had my coaching business for nearly 18 years.  For at least 12 of those, I've dreamed of having a full practice.  I've dreamed of having a waiting list.  A waiting list of one would be enough.

    I'm a successful coach, so I've been busy with lots of clients for years.  Yet I've never felt like I was close to declaring a BINGO...hold your cards...this business is full!!!

     I attended Steve's Coaching Prosperity School about five weeks ago.  In that time, I've added six new clients and have four others likely to start soon. The thing is, I don't have room for all four. I have room for two.  By the end of this week I'll probably be full. It's crazy.  I did it.

Thanks Steve!"
