Kirk's Smile

I smile every time I see a picture of little Kirk.

This little boy seems deliriously happy.

I’m told he often lays on a mat and kicks his feet for long periods of time.

He loves it and laughs as he plays.

But Kirk couldn’t always do that.

Early on, he couldn’t even smile.

About three years ago Kevin Hogan told me about a little boy he met named Kirk. Kirk suffered a pediatric stroke a few weeks after birth. Apparently this can happen to babies, more often than anyone likes to know.

Kevin asked me to help him raise money for medical operations, and I did.

As a result, Kirk is moving, a little, and smiling, a lot.

Kirk sends me little “I love you” messages and photos — by email via his mother — and every one of them makes me smile.

I received one the other day and stared at it for minutes, looking at Kirk’s contagiously happy smile, and feeling drawn into the loving spirit of this child.

It feels good to help someone of such a divine nature, who seems happy to be where he is in life; no complaints, no bickering, no bitterness.

Who knows why someone like Kirk comes into the world and instantly has a health challenge?

Is it karma? Reincarnation? Or – ?

Maybe it’s a divine test for us — not Kirk, as he is Buddha happy right now, but a test for you and me — it’s us who seem to be challenged by his situation. We are the ones being asked to grow here, not Kirk.

Truth is, I don’t know the why.

But I do know that when something is in my experience, it’s up for me to heal.

So I’m doing my part.

I’m helping Kirk, and I hope you will, too.

Kirk is my super hero.

I wish I could always be so accepting of life.

PS – You can donate to Kirk’s therapy fund by going to Amazing Kirk. Having a new car is nice, having new book deals is nice, being on Larry King twice is nice, but seeing a little boy like Kirk smile and laugh trumps those experiences every time. Thank you, Kirk. Your smile is in my heart. I love you.

Note: Consider Kirk’s life and ask yourself what do you have to complain about? Start smiling, too. It’s easy. Just look at Kirk’s smile. Contagious, isn’t it?

Obey Francine

Francine asked to have her picture taken today. I had no choice but to obey her.

So master photographer Rodney Bursiel dropped by, set up movie set lights, moved me around like I was a super model, and then spent an hour taking some incredible shots.

Here’s one he just shared with me.
I look like I’m warning someone to stop ogling my woman.

I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures. Rodney is a genius at turning an ordinary moment everyone else takes for granted into a masterpiece of symbol and power.

Or maybe I’m just glad to see another picture of Francine.

Gmail in Print?

Google just told me they will now print and mail any message in your gmail account – for free.

Whether you want a printed record of one message or an entire database of a thousand messages, Google will print and snail mail it to you, at no charge.

The plan is to print the selected messages on recycled paper, with ads on the back of each page. You won’t be able to hand these pages in at your next meeting but they will be useful for records and research.

I just checked my Google mail account and didn’t see the “print” button there. Maybe it’s not live yet. For more details see —

http://mail.google.com/mail/help/paper/more.html

Long live Google.

PS – Of course, this whole thing could be an April Fool’s joke, too.

Guess the Quote

“______. That’s your job. That’s all you have to do.”

Gee, I wonder who said that?

And I wonder what word goes in that blank?

I’ll fill in the blank in a second, but first let me ask you a question —

Are you aware of Mark Joyner’s work?

(No, he didn’t say the above quote.)

He’s a genius at Internet marketing, but his life is all about something bigger.That guy is wired to make changes happen in the world. I think that’s all that matters for him, really. I think that becomes clearer and clearer to people each day as they watch what he does.

For example, he’s just written an extraordinarily profound book. Without question it’s the best thing he’s ever written. His last book I said was “the first marketing breakthrough in 50 years” and I meant it.

This new book has *nothing* to do with marketing.

Nothing.

It’s much bigger and much more important. It’s a dazzling exploration of the human mind – but one put so simply and elegantly that you’ll think you just watched a movie.

It examines the crazy bugaboos that can infect our minds and take us off the course of what we want.

This is stuff that should be taught in grade school, really, but isn’t.

It then teaches you how to get your head around the *actions* you need to take to get the things you want.

Does this surprise you?

One of the stars of The Secret talking about action?

It shouldn’t. Here’s a quote from the film. I know it’s right because the talking head that was up on the screen when these words came through was ME 🙂

“The Universe likes speed. Don´t delay. Don´t second guess. Don´t doubt. When the opportunity is there, when the impulse is there, when the intuitive nudge from within is there, ACT. That´s your job. That´s all you have to do.”

Mark’s “Simpleology” is all about speed and action.

http://mrfire.simpleology.com/book

The results people have been getting from it are nothing short of miraculous. Not only that, you’ll learn some pretty shocking and surprising stuff about how your brain works, how society is structured, and a lot more.

Some of this stuff is so fresh and new that you will have several jaw-dropping “what??? I didn’t know that!” moments in the quick single sitting it will take you to read this book.

And there are some new useful theories and models that may be looked back on as serious philosophical breakthroughs {there is some PhD thesis level new information in here that Mark dishes out ever-so-casually like candy on a dish – you may not even realize how revolutionary this stuff is while you are reading it – it’s presented so smoothly and in such a fascinating can’t-put-it-down way).

You can watch a heart-pounding video “trailer” for the book here:

http://mrfire.simpleology.com/book

You’ll get a ton of bonus goodies shipped to your e-door for buying, but you don’t need that. The book, alone, is one of your “must have” purchases this year.

In fact, buy a copy for every member of your family. It’s one of those “should have been handed out at the door way of life” rarities.

Remember that the universe loves speed … Go do this now before the next email comes in.
