"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful
committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
~Margaret Mead
The whole idea of "reinventing yourself" is rough for many people because they can't quite grasp how invented their personalities are to begin with.
Person alities! At best they are dramatic personae created to interact with society. The intention is to "get through" this life with a minimum of panic and terror.
The original title (actually there were many) of the book I wrote on the subject of self-reinvention was The Light of the Spirit. But my agent rejected that as too religious or new-agey sounding. My original title for 100 Ways to Motivate Yourself was YOU HAVE NO PERSONALITY, which the publisher thought was a wee bit negative.
People reinvent themselves when they rediscover that creativity can be applied to ANYTHING.........
People can use hard times to create with. People choose different creations. The BeeGees started a joke. I started a club.

Our club's first LIVE teleseminar is called "How Do I USE the Economic Downturn to My Advantage?" It's not too late to sign up for it because it's not too late for anything, ever.
How do we use hard times? Why do we lift weights? Would it be better to have styrofoam weights? Or heavy weights that give resistance?
The award-winning novelist Walker Percy had some very interesting questions. Are you ready for these?
Walker Percy wondered why so many rich people were depressed. Prescriptions for anti-depression medications are highest in the most affluent environments.
"Why do people often feel so bad in good environments that they prefer bad environments?"
"Why does a man often feel better in a bad environment?"
"Why is a man apt to feel bad in a good environment, say Short Hills, New Jersey, on an ordinary Wednesday afternoon? Why is the same man apt to feel good in a very bad environment, say an old hotel on Key Largo in a hurricane?"
I think you know the answer to these questions.

Laurence Platt has a website filled with inspired and stimulating short essays on the thinking of Werner Erhard. Steve Hardison connected me to this site, and often sends me its latest postings, which are always profound. Check it out here:

Here's something Laurence wrote about Werner's work that I also modestly choose to apply to the club you and I have formed:
"There are occasions of absolute greatness which come on the world from time to time, carefully orchestrated events which seem so simple, so effortless in their execution, so natural that they appear to be deceptively easy. Almost always predicating such events is herculean preparation, heroic, inspired bringing forth, driven setups, corrections, testing, then more corrections, still more testing and still more corrections before the final product is ready for the world. When the finished product finally appears, it's hailed as masterful, as genius, as a champion of the genre. We know something happened prior to this to get it into the shape it's in. But we almost aren't ever privy to exactly what it takes. We weren't there to see what it takes to bring it forth in the state of mastery. "
Werner Erhard has been widely misunderstood and maligned by the media who have run with untrue rumors and envious "opponents" and "competitors" who have sought to vilify him. This new DVD is worth watching to get the full story on this man, and all the transformational work he has done.
Unlike other self-help new age gurus who are on a relentless "spiritual" quest for TV time and celebrity status, Werner Erhard was always focused on the transformation of the individual. The real work.
