I had to pause the DVD player after watching Chris Widener for just 15 minutes!

Chris Widener was absolutely inspiring, to say the least and I wanted to get this out in writing to share with you before it fades away from my memory…

… And now, I know why Chris is so successful - he had such a powerful concept of every human being which I’ll talk about in a minute.

That was the first time I saw Chris Widener - interviewed by Jerry Clark - which I received on a DVD from my Success University package last month. I heard a lot about Chris but finally get to see him LIVE and learn so much from him!! And I do not even have to fork out another dime apart from my precious Success University membership (Shh! For such a small amount to invest in my own success is really a bargain!)

Chris talked about how Michaelangelo chiseled away at a piece of marble to create King David’s statue. In the Old Testament, the Lord commissioned a prophet to anoint David at the household of Jesse, the father of David who was a little shepherd boy at that time. All of the household was present except David who was out taking care of the flock.

The prophet inspected all the sons of Jesse but the Lord did not speak, so he inquired of Jesse, “Is that all your sons?” to which Jesse replied that David was out taking care of the sheep. The prophet asked for David to return and then annointed him as he heard from God that David is the king God had chosen.

Chris’ point is that there are two sides in each of us: every human being is both powerful and beautiful just like King David who was a warrior as well as a poet. However, like that piece of marble that Michaelangelo saw but others did not, David was always inside.

This powerful analogy, according to Chris Widener, shows that we are all beautifully created beings with a ‘powerful’ purpose except that as we grew up, we adorn layer upon layer that hide the angel inside.

Glad I got this out as I can’t wait to continue to watch the interview of Chris Widener (hosted by Jerry Clark, in conjunction with JimRohn.com) to see what he is going to share for the next 45 minutes …

What a timely gift - I received Success University’s monthly newsletter, CD & DVD on the 2nd day of the year! The DVD features an interview with Donna Krech and Chris Widener (which I’ll post after I view it). It was conducted by Jerry Clark (who needs no introduction) in his ‘Standing on Giants’ series in collaboration with Jim Rohn.com

Donna Krech was rather candid as she recalled her past, pushing a stroller with her 10-month baby down a gravel street in Texas wondering how she’s going to buy the next milk bottle. I was amused - and so was Jerry who laughed uncontrollably - as Donna mentioned that she was one of those who graduated from college in her first year without a degree, which others called ‘quitting’.

I learned a gem of things from this interview with Donna who gone from earning $6 an hour as a grocery store clerk to a 7-figure earner!

She defines ‘hope’ as living in a state of constant victory where you choose to be hopeful instead of hopeless, have energy instead of feeling tired, have faith instead of being afraid and fearful … how you can achieve that.

In fact, she described her strategy of how we can break free from our self-limiting beliefs and ideas. She used the picture of a man in an armor suit and explain how six of the pieces can work together to build victories for ourselves:

1. Helmet
2. Breast plate
3. Sword
4. Shield
5. Apron
6. Boots

It was a fascinating interview and it’s well worth the time of less than an hour to invest in my own personal development and success. To subscribe to your own membership, visit the link below and click ‘Enroll Now’:

As I re-read Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad for the third time, I began to realize a ton of GEMS in there!

Before I continue …

… Today is the first day of 2008. I want to thank you for visiting my blog and I wish you and your family a BLESSED and ABUNDANT New Year ahead!

Back to Rich Dad, Poor Dad, a book released about a decade ago that needs no introduction and had been on the New York Times Bestseller List for many years.

Then, why talk about this book after so long?

Here are some of my reasons:

• I believe that this book had changed more lives than most other books -

  I’ve personally heard testimonials that someone become a successful businessman just by reading this book; someone’s life changed from an employee to become an investor; and countless many others.

• As of now, Robert is my personal FAVORITE No. 1 author -

  Robert has the passion for helping others to become financially free as well as the courage to write books on the importance of financial literacy that many of us are lacking. I am a living example who had made countless mistakes and just hope that many young people, especially those in their 20’s or 30’s will not - simply by picking up a copy of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and reading it…. seriously!

• This morning, as I re-read Rich Dad, Poor Dad for the third time, these are the first words that I read in 2008:

  “PAY YOURSELF FIRST: The power of self-discipline. If you cannot get control of yourself, do not try to get rich.”

  I love those hard-hitting words! Never did I realize to this extent that SUCCESS is just a matter of “Simple Acts of  DAILY DISCIPLINE … in doing the RIGHT things!”
