ARTICLE BY DENIS WAITLEY
Set Up a Learning Resource at Home and at Your Place of Business with Both Personal and Professional Development Materials by Denis Waitley
Every office conference, lunch, exercise, and recreation room should be filled
with personal enrichment materials including videos, audios, books, magazines,
newsletters, software, TV and internet programming.
Convert a special area of your home into a learning center, especially if you
have children. The trend globally is to combine a coffee house like Starbucks,
with bookstores like Barnes and Noble, to create a relaxing learning
environment. In the twenty-first century, gaining knowledge will blend into our
lives as part of our leisure time. There are several ways to create more of an
ongoing learning environment at your place of business. Many companies are
providing TV and internet access to personal development programming, asking
employees to volunteer to read a specific trade or business magazine and clip or
scan articles relevant to the organization. Regular email dispersals are also
highly popular.
In today's fast-forward, knowledge-based world, if you're not moving ahead you
are falling behind.
Action Idea: Make two files in your computer: one for personal development and
one for professional development. Download MP3 files, articles and emails that
educate and inspire you in these files. You also can scan articles from
magazines into these files. Look at these files at least once per week.
Also subscribe to internet based or TV based personal development programming,
purchase CDs, DVDs and books for your personal and professional development
library.

Denis Waitley's Ezine Subscriber and
Customer Comments:
I have to say that I had total goose-bumps when first viewing
the movie, The Secret, at the part where I heard your voice just
before they showed your face. You've been one of my heroes for
several years. I had the chance to thank you for helping me quit
35 years of smoking with one statement on your tapes. You said "smoking and self-esteem are incompatible." That was pivotal for
me so I thank you again. It un-tethered me to create some of the
best years of my life. Thank you for being a beacon for me
especially in those foggy times.
-- Don Campbell
I'm very, very excited after reading these wonderful
experiences, you share in the DW's Ezine. My deepest wish would
be to attend in person one of your training courses.
-- Freddy Ngandu
I am a director and independent consultant with Southern Living
At Home and was forwarded a copy of Dr. Waitley's most recent
ezine. Such useful, inspirational information. I love the idea
of "practice makes permanent." What a concept!
-- Sandy Langwell
Self-Knowledge: The Key to Preparing for Competition was a very
good article. I also liked the list of words that are worth
remembering from the same Denis Waitley Ezine...think we should
all do The Words to Remember and challenge our teams to do the
same.
-- Nancy Colaruotolo
Just a quick Thank you from Winnipeg, Manitoba for your trip
to speak at our Usana Event this past weekend. I understand you
are heading to Australia and hopefully your luggage has caught
up to you by now. You made a difference by coming and I know
your mom would be proud. It was a pleasure meeting you and
signing my "Psychology of Winning book" that I brought from
home. I wanted to just say thank you for all the lessons and
good positive energy you've given me. I also wanted to mention
how powerful the movie the Secret has been for me and our young
business teams ranging in age from 22-28 years right now. I will
continue to be a fan and will always be growing. You and others
such as Jim Rohn, James Ray, Robert Kiyosaki, T. Harv Ecker,
Blair Singer, and great family and friends have helped me bring
out this feeling inside me that has been building for up for
years. I've used this burning desire to run marathons and
triathlons for over half my life, but in day to day life,
something has always held me back. Not anymore - this past year
has been amazing and I feel unstoppable, energy wise. When I get
to my successful place and help others on a larger scale, I want
you to know you were a part of it. In five years, you will hear
the story of "motiv8d" and remember this email.
-- Ryan Anderson
I receive your ezine weekly along with Jim Rohn's, thank you
very much. I live in a small town and the library has a yearly
book sale. I came across a cassette package called "Physiology
of Winning". It was in perfect condition. I paid $2.00, what a
deal! I am honored to add it to my book shelf.
-- Nita Kalousek
I recently purchased a CD, "The Psychology of Winning in the
21st Century" I have listened to this CD 3 times in 2 days, its
incredible!
-- Webster Bailey
Thank you for continually touching my heart and life. You
have been my mentor for over 25 years. Your book "Seeds of
Greatness" and changed my life. Thank you.
-- Jacqueline
Thank you for writing Seeds of Greatness many years ago. My
wise older sister, when I was about 17 years old, gave me the
book as a gift, because she had some kind of intuition that such
a book would be good, even vital for me. Seeds, those are
exactly what the book planted in me, latent as they were for
some years. I read the book voraciously. At the time it did make
me feel empowered but I failed to convert the feelings into
action. I just really didn't get it. Fast forward to today. At
the age of 42, I am rebuilding a wonderful family and business
life that I set aside for alcohol and self gratification
throughout my 20's and most of my 30's. You see, I did learn a
lot from the book. I knew intuitively that what my church was
teaching me and what other wise literature was saying to me was
true because I had read your book so long ago. Had I not read
Seeds of Greatness, I believe that I may not have been given a
daily reprieve from my self-destructive tendencies three years
ago. My mind was prepared enough to accept and embrace the truth
and what is good and right and necessary for me to do. Today I
am a relatively successful sales executive and loving husband
and father of four blessed children. I'm finally putting your
words and those of Steven Covey, Jeffrey Gitomer, and most
importantly to me, Jesus into action. I look forward to getting
to know you all over again through your E-Zine. Thank you for
making your work so accessible and useable.
-- Chuck
Hi, I recently ordered and received the Seeds of Greatness
Family Program, which is fantastic. Many Thanks.
-- Colin Campbell
Hi, I recently purchased the Seeds of Greatness pack and we are
really enjoying the program. My 8 year old daughter loves the
Music for Winners CD too. Thanks again for a great program.
-- Lee
Dear Denis, I came across your article, Procrastination
Doesn't Make Perfect, while I was going through some of my
thousands of e-mails. This was a wonderful article and one I
really needed to hear. Perfect timing. Please put us on you
e-mail list. I love everything you do and thank you for all you
do.
-- Sonja Yost
Thanks for the continued inspiration. We attended the
Winnipeg Celebration and thoroughly enjoyed your presentation.
Thanks for sharing inspiring and insightful stories with people
and entertaining us with heart and soul. We became Achievers
that Thursday night and a few weeks ago became Bronze Directors,
which we know is a direct result of the awesome training and
support we have received from countless individuals like
yourself. We hope that many of our downline also subscribe to
this mailing and Life Masters to get the edge they need to rank
advance in Usana and learn strategies that will help them take
charge of their life and their health in unimaginable ways.
Enjoy the convention! We will be there in spirit as our "other
JOBS" as educators prevents us from attending this year.
-- Donny & Wayne Wyke
Dear Denis, this is just to let you know that ever since last
April when I started receiving your free e-zines, I have never
regretted reading them. They are not only informative and
educative, but very inspiring for any serious Christian. They
are simply 'un-put-down-able!' Please keep it up. May our good
Lord keep your anointing aglow for humanity. Shalom, and my
compliments to your family, sir.

Dear Mr. Waitley, I have a collection of your tapes/cds. Still,
I read your newsletter because it is food to my invisible self.
My mind/soul/invisible self/ devours this nutritious 'meal' and
its always delicious.
-- Tina Pinnock
Since I have been on the 90-day plan, I have listened to the Jim
Rohn 2004 Leadership Event four times, Jim Rohn's Challenge to
Succeed program twice, Denis Waitley's Psychology of Winning
twice and read the following books: Think and Grow Rich, The
Richest Man in Babylon, four chapters of the Bible, Man's Search
for Meaning by Victor Frankle, The Angel Inside, The Seasons of
Life, and The Five Major Pieces of Life's Puzzle. All this while
running 20+ miles per week, competing in a 15k race, working 50+
hours per week at my regular job, working 10+ hours per week on
my rental properties, and spending time with my family and my
church. I am watching less than 4 hours of TV per week and I
don't miss it at all. I originally started this program to help
me improve my financial life. However, I found that the greatest
improvement was in my family life. Two months ago, I was getting
ready to file for divorce. However, after studying the
leadership principles in all of these books, tapes and CDs, and
especially the Bible, I began to apply these principles to my
home life. The change is amazing and the improvement in my
family life is nothing short of miraculous. I know God had a
hand in bringing me to Ron White's seminar where I purchased
your CDs and books. With God's guidance I was able to diligently
study all the materials and can honestly say that the
information you guys provided me probably saved my marriage. I
thank God everyday for bringing your information to me and I
thank you with all my heart for your words of incredible wisdom.
-- Jeffery D.
The Psychology of Winning - Dennis
Waitley - I love it. -- Ronald Wayne Sandy
I first 'met' you guys in the
early '70s, Brian and Denis by tape, Jim in person while working
the Bestline business. Creative sales was not my long suit; I've
since built a successful career in industrial selling. I
literally wore out copies of The Psychology of Winning and The
Psychology of Achievement (would have done the same with Take
Charge of Your Life, except I loaned it to a friend and he wore
it out for me). All this for background. Last January, just
before my 60th birthday, I was diagnosed with colon cancer -
quickly and successfully carved out, prognosis excellent. During
that time and since, friends, family, and business associates
have all spoken to how calmly and positively I dealt with the
situation and how quickly I recovered (candidly, I've surprised
myself, on the upside). The answer, of course, is simple - I've
been practicing for 30 years. My thanks to all of you for your
work. -- Harry Wright
Dear Mr.
Waitley, I wanted to send you a note letting you know what a
change you brought to my life. When I was 15 years old I had a
coach put the Psychology of Winning tapes in my hand and told me
to listen to them until I could recite them. I'm 38 years old
now. The principles that you taught me in those tapes helped a
kid that was trying to overcome a challenging childhood
(divorce, abandonment, physical handicap). I went on to be a
four year state qualifier in high school, and compete in a Div.
1 college program. I was never a standout athlete in college,
but was able to use much of what you taught me to be the captain
of the teams. I took the principles you taught and have applied
them to my professional life, where I have consistently been in
the top 5% income earners. The greatest thanks go to you for
what I have been able to pass along to my three awesome
children. It has been tremendous to see how the principles that
you taught me, and that I passed along to them have impacted
them in their individual successes. You have lived a life of
significance, and I Thank You. -- Rod M.
Hi Mr. Denis Waitley, we have a poet in our subcontinent
Indo-Pak, Mirza Ghalib, The Goethe of East has said, "It is
indeed difficult to make any job/work/assignment Easy, As it is
not achievable for a man to be a Human." You and Mr. Jim Rohn
and all people who are guiding mankind for being Human is really
a sacred task. It is really a priceless task. I read and email
to my friends and relations. Thank u for your being kind. --
Baqir Ali
Thx so much
for the 'love support' story. Very encouraging and fun. -- FJR
Hello, I'm a coach and NLP-Trainer living in Sweden. I just
would like to thank you for your wonderful, informative and
inspiring newsletter! I read your book Seeds of Greatness 20
years ago, and I continue to read it once or twice every year.
I've gained so much insight from that book, other books you've
written and your audio programs. Recently I bought the Platinum
Collection and stand in awe of the knowledge you have about
peoples behaviour and what drives them, and I've been able to
apply a lot of your suggestions... Your newsletter is a "must
read" every time I receive it, and I try to reflect on the ideas
provided and apply it in my own life. -- Niklas Daver
Denis, the subject treatise in the Zdanis USANA Team list of
meaningful business tips, etc. was especially meaningful and
HELPFUL to me today. I have not taken advantage of your weekly
personal development tips, and I desire to start subscribing to
them now. I miss not seeing you more often than once at year at
convention - so I think your weekly development tips will be
beneficial for me. Thank you so much for this article on
Procrastination and how insidious it can be for us. Please
subscribe me to the weekly personal development tips. I
appreciate you, Denis! -- Frank
I had the great privileged to hear Mr. Waitley 22 years ago at a
Tupperware Dart Corp., I took the knowledge and applied it to my
personal life and my business. I became number three in the
nation for sales, and I lived in Barstow Cailf. I'm reading his
book again, The Seeds of Greatness. Thank you. -- Florence
Goodlow
Hi, Denis, enjoyed your tapes. Keep up the good work. -- Bob and
Jenny Petrucci
Hi Denis, your E-Zine is great. It jolts me anytime I feel lazy
or laidback. It's good to have a weekly reminder that I 'CAN'
and will succeed. -- Tale
Thank you
Dr. Waitley for the Ezine, which is so encouraging and inspiring
and full of such good advice. I love it. -- Anna-Greta Videbeck
Dear Denis, I want to thank you sincerely for the wonderful job
you are doing in teaching us how to become better in every
sense. I always enjoy reading your weekly issues immensely and
today in particular I enjoyed and made a note of your Section 2,
subtitled 'overcoming fear of rejection, "last paragraph" it was
like finding a light in a dark tunnel. Thank you, again. I look
forward to receiving your next issue. -- Herminda Jones
Oooh that really is a powerful message I have ever read. Thanks
a lot and may God richly bless you. -- Ndambo, Inutu
Dear Denis, I've been listening to you for over 15 years and I
greatly appreciate your wisdom and insight. Thanks for all you
do and keep up the good work! -- Dr. J. Matthew Durham
Thanks for sharing these Weekly Ezines with me. I am a counselor
at the Davis Applied Technology College in Kaysville, Utah. I
was a military enlisted Senior Leader for 27 years and have
retired from that position in June of 2003. While I was in the
military, I was lucky enough to watch your video "The Psychology
of Winning". I really enjoyed this video and bought the cassette
tapes of this presentation. I have been a vocational guidance
counselor at the college for some 27 years. (I was in the USAF
Reserve Program and was a "First Sergeant"). As such I was able
to make positive influences with the military personnel with
whom I served. I remember in your "Psychology of Winning" video
that you were once a Navy Pilot and I enjoyed some of the
references that you made to yourself in the video. I have
enjoyed your weekly newsletters, and as you suggested, because
they seem uplifting to me, I think they would be uplifting to
others. Therefore, I plan to share and forward your newsletters
on to them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, experiences and
words of wisdom with me. I will forward them on to my friends or
students I counsel who could use some mentoring and uplifting
experiences. Have a nice day. -- Al Hepler, M.S., M.Ed.
Dear Denis,
Thank you for your Ezine which I have every issue from #1. One
thing I have realized is that, in business, many people strive
to reinvent the wheel. In my lectures and facilitation projects
I find it so inspiring to illustrate to my 'students of life'
that there are people like yourself that can validate that the
answer is to improve the wheel and not re-invent it. I have read
many of your works - (My POW paper back is now well aged and
resembles an archeological find from below the pyramids) - that
have been an inspiration for success in life. Like yourself my
work is inspired by life-learning and I have shared those
experiences with many tens of hundreds of people here in South
Africa and continue to do so. Thank you for contributing to that
'aha' feeling when I read your works, knowing that people like
you and of course those you have mentored to making life
meaningful and rewarding. Thank you again, Denis, one of the
founders who have contributed towards the betterment of
humankind. -- Chris Bohr, MBA. DBA. (Ind. Psychology)
I have been a fan of your writing since the 1970's. I loved
listening to you and have read hundreds of motivational books,
mostly from the library and some I purchased. Denis, I admire
your wisdom so very much. -- A. Clifford
Hello Dr. Denis Waitley, I have been following your articles on
the internet for a long time. They have greatly motivated me
into what I am doing today. I need to thank you for touching
lives and shaping destinies of so many people around the world.
If your articles could do so much for me, they would do more for
so many Nigerians who want to learn. Thank you for being there.
God be with you sir. -- Mr. Bola Adewara
Denis, I
want to tell you "thank you" for all your work in the field of
self-development and psychology. I have been able to add so much
more richness in my life from the actions I have taken from your
material. I respect your ability to speak in an interesting and
clear manner and make the material come alive with your stories,
"Gerber's strained squash!" I first rented your video in the
late 90's at the University of Miami Blockbuster store and that
is where I got into taking actions to improve my life. I have
done a lot, gained muscle, got my M.B.A., getting my real estate
license as we speak and most likely will attain a law degree in
the next three years. I hope to work in a consultative capacity
with my education to help others invest in real estate and make
successful endeavors. I was privileged with my Dad, to see you
twice in person. Once when you spoke in Jacksonville, Fl. as
part of Peter Lowe Seminars and then most recently this summer
at the Jim Rohn Weekend in Anaheim. Wish you the best with your
writing, speaking and all the work you do to help this World be
a better place. Thank you for being a role model of integrity
that I want to model. -- Sean
I like the idea of letting go (referenced in the article by
Denis in Messages from the Masters daily email from
DailyInbox.com). Another fun way to accomplish this (which I
have used with success) is to have people write down their past
issues/frustrations on a piece of flash paper (available through
any magic store on-line). Then light it and watch it go up in
smoke. Thanks for letting me share. -- Adam Orlan
Dear Dr.
Waitley, 20 years ago you spoke at a conference I attended in
Dallas, TX and I purchased the "Seeds of Greatness" tapes. At
that time you signed my book, The Double Win. Had I known then
what an impact that were going to have on my life I would have
given you the biggest hug!! Thank you for your tireless effort
in not only developing people professionally, but also
personally by encouraging us to put God and family where they
should be – first. So a cyber hug will have to do!! God bless
you, your family and your success! -- Dawn Corrie
Dear Mr. Waitley, my name is Rafael from Mexico. I have made
such incredible changes in my life following your basic
principles. I am getting out of debt and every day I wake up, I
remember the things I read in your ezine and promise myself this
day I am not going to be defeted by my worst enemy. ME! I see
myself now as my best friend; I am confident about my future and
I am preparing myself to earn lots of money. I work in Herbalife
and also teach in high school. I would like to share a
reflection I made the other day in the class room. I started
asking the students what the reason was competitive sports are
very popular and why a lot of people watch them around the
globe? They answered things like they are role models, it is fun
to do, excercise, it is good entertainment and so on. Then I
told them, OK let's play football on a plain field, no limits,
no teams, no time. I just give you a ball and you play. After
two hours, four hours, six hours of doing that, is it fun? No
one knows who's winning, no one knows the remaining time, no one
knows who their team mates are. But what a difference if I set
limits, teams, roles and mainly: SCORE and TIME. If you simply
remove score and time in every sport, no one, and I mean no one,
is going to watch a game or match in whatever sport. The
Olympics would be the most boring thing in the world. Then I
told them that is the reason life, in most cases, is SO boring;
because you never know if you are winning or losing and you
never know what is the remaining time. But what a difference if
you set GOALS with score and time. Then you have fun in your
life! Then you can make plans and take actions in case you are
doing wrong before the time is gone! That's all I wanted to
share with you; and I promise myself I'll attend one of your
seminars between July and September next year, and I am going to
talk with you in person. Thank you for sharing all that
knowledge with the rest of the world. -- Rafael
Thank you, Denis Waitley. I first heard
you speak in Minneapolis in the early 80's and you messages
changed my life then and now. God bless you and thank you for
the ezine. -- semperfi31@...
I am regularly reading your ezine issues and they always offer
immeasurable confidence and encouragement. Issue no 25 puts me
on the pedestal of alertness and greater awareness for honing
the dimensions of life. Please accept my grateful thanks. -- B.

positive input into my life and I would really like to join in
getting these issues on a weekly basis. -- Marinda Petzer
Dear Dr. Waitley, my name is Sehul Dave,
and am writing from Mumbai, India. I am a big fan of yours - I
have listened enthusiastically & repeatedly to your "The
Psychology of Winning" audio program, which I had checked out
from the public library in Gaithersburg, Maryland when I lived
there; and now reading your weekly ezines ever since the first
ezine started going out! I am really thankful for all that you
do: really caring about the personal growth of people, giving
timely & relevant advise/tips through your ezine, emphasizing
the delicate balance between goals & ambitions v/s values &
family life, underscoring the importance of being tech-savvy in
a fast-changing world, boundaryless business environment, and so
forth. You are right - you ezine is indeed different! It's a
privilege to share in your wisdom & wise counsel through the
ezines!! From the bottom of my heart - a sincere THANK YOU! You
are a role model, and I strive to achieve & become all that I
can become while maintaining the humble & down-to-earth nature
that I see in you! A sincere THANK YOU again. -- Sehul
Having just lost my job and being asked to resign, I found this
newsletter especially moving and re-read it today. It happened
on the 22nd... what a powerful message. It has been for the
best... one door closes and another opportunity awaits. I am
awaiting several job offers this week. Thank you for a wonderful
newsletter -- keep them coming.-- GB
Dear Mr. Waitley, First of all, congratulations on the most
impressive performance at Mr. Jim Rohn's 2004 Weekend
Leadership. Even though I have been following your advice and
the advice of other speakers for several years now, I learned
new things and gained even more insights. By way of
introduction, I am a student of self-development, and avid
reader of your recent E-zines. I just finished re-listening to
your Healthy, Wealthy and Wise -- very, very helpful! Thank you
very much. -- Adam Newhouse
Our use in life depends as to how we
understand life and people. If we correctly understand man and
see good around us there will be no conflicts in the world. I am
real impressed by you excellent ezine my best compliments and
regards. -- mk soni
Dear Denis, I just enjoy getting your
Ezine each week. You make so much sense and you are a wonderful
motivational speaker and writer. I have followed your career
many years and always read and listened to your tapes, books,
etc. Hopefully we will get to see you in person one day. --
Alice Clifford
How come all super soul have come together on the earth? You all
are great. The world has to learn a lot from you all. Thanking
you. -- Heera Parihar
Hi. Thank you. I signed up for your ezine and find it very
helpful. I am a mature student in Trinity College Dublin after a
life of hell and I am now trying to make it as a freelance
writer as well as a student. Your words are very helpful. --
Maureen
I've loved your ezine! I found verrrrrrry relevant and helpful.
Thanks -- Tony
Excellent message! Thanks. -- Rajan
Dear Denis, I felt such a powerful
energy reading this newsletter, what power and wisdom -- you
shake people up. Thank you for writing it and giving me the
chance to read it. -- Mistica
Greetings! Listening to the 2004 speakers... I have found Jim
Rohns to be great, I have all his tapes and books, but your
speaking is awesome! -- Al
I have really enjoyed your insights and humor on your audio
programs. Thanks again! -- Wes Choy
Hi Denis, I love your ezine and read it
religiously.
-- Susie Hale
Denis, I just had to write and thank you for your latest
newsletter, as always it gives inspiration. I was so overcome by
your poem "Roots and Wings". I have sent it out to all the
people I care about and those people that I have come into
contact with, who I think would appreciate it - potential
business colleagues included. Thanks again. -- Sue
Hi Denis, thank you for sharing your wisdom. I totally love the
poem you shared - "Sermons We See". Having just had the
privilege of being in your company down here in New Zealand, I
am inspired by your passion for life - your sincerity and
integrity shine through. -- Pam Gillies-Browning
Once again, great article. -- Kevin Rolle
Hi Denis, I really must confess that
your ezine has been of great help and blessing to me. On this
note, I want to say thank you and appreciate all you're doing.
More grease to your elbow. -- Niyi
Thanks for being you. You are such a blessing. I have been
listening to your stuff for years. -- Brad Huls
Dear Denis, thanks for your recent newsletter. Your article in
breaking up large tasks into manageable chunks reminded me of a
proverb I came across in northern Thailand. Q. How do you eat an
elephant? A. One bite at a time. -- Dave Hogg
Denis, I like the quote it proves time tested proverb; slow and
steady wins the race. -- MK Soni
Thank you for not making your newsletter
so long... Keep it short and simple. -- Kim Zinn
Hi! I receive a lot of ezines and
motivational information every day. I try to read as much as I
can and I usually get a good nugget or two. I have to say, there
was something you wrote in your last in December that totally
changed my perspective. I have struggled with a schedule for
years. I loved being spontaneous and flexible. I did think that
a schedule would confine me. Thank you for writing about the
creativity that could be found in structure. It's changed my
life. I rarely write feedback, but this was so dramatic for me
that I had to share with you. Thank you again. -- Ricci Neer
Mr. Waitley, I want to thank you for your WONDERFUL, inspiring
and motivating website I just found and subscribed to. Thank you
for your wonderful e-zine. -- Brenda Adams
My name is Joseph Rooney from Ireland, I just wanted to take
this quick moment to say a sincere thank you to Denis Waitley
for all his wonderful and inspiring information he provides in
his great newsletters. Thank you so much. -- Joseph Rooney
Thanks Denis for your emails. They are truly motivating. Please
keep it up. -- MK Soni
Denis, I'm so thankful for your Ezine and thankful to have you
back in my life after a twenty year absence! Your Goal Mind
course helped me overcome some challenges when I was twenty
years old and I am ever thankful for that. After twenty years
down the road of life I recently remembered how helpful your
message was and found myself digging through my basement to find
your course. I'm glad to find you in good health. Sincerely, "without cracks" I can still hear your voice explaining the
origin of this word ;) -- Shawn Gookin
Denis Waitley International: 2005 will mark the beginning of a
new era for us. We will all go after our dreams! We will all be
radically changed! And we will continue to go after excellence
in our lives being ALL that we can be! I am very thankful for
the time I get to spend with my family and for all I have
learned from so many wonderful others this past year (including
the lessons so beautifully expressed in this newsletter). This
is a great e-zine. The articles on procrastination have been
especially helpful. My focus on overcoming fear and self-doubt
have been key in helping me to overcome this evil habit. It's a
process, but I'm moving swiftly along and I will not let it get
the best of me. -- Natascha Bolden
Dear
Mr. Waitley: Happy Thanksgiving! And thank you -- I really loved
this ezine today, reminding me of what is important for me - to
truly feel alive, and being deeply grateful for all my
blessings. Also, while I am already writing, I have enjoyed the
spirit and the message of 'Safari to the Soul' very much. --
Kerstin Spitzl
"There is a big difference between standard of living and
quality of life. Standard of living is based on income earned.
Quality of life is the enjoyment of the millions of minutes in
between accomplishments." This is the first time in my life I
have understood this basic principle. Thanks for your weekly
tonic. -- Rajan
Dear Denis, I am a new subscriber of your weekly Ezine. I am so
much happy that I am on your list, that I should have known this
long time before. I thought I should write to you instantly my
feelings about the Ezine. Any way to read your Ezine is so
energizing, I get enough to get through the day. Real good
advice and simple way of explaining. Much appreciated. Keep it
up, Many thanks. -- RP
Dear
Denis, your Weekly Ezine is awesome! I look forward to your
timely wisdom each week and receive such great inspiration.

-- Mychelle Davis
Thank You. I do really love your weekly Ezine. It gives me a
'PUSH' each week when I read and plant it in my mind to dwell
on. Very motivating, exciting and energetic.

Dear
Mr. Waitley, I first heard about you 25 years ago. I bought the "Psychology of Winning" tape series. I have purchased your books
and try to listen to your tapes. You have definitely influenced
my life for the good. I have a long way to go even after 25
years. But I am not dead yet. Your weekly ezine is a God-send.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! -- Pastor Mike Adams
Hi Dr. DW, I love and like your language and thoughts. Your
letters contain all three qualities of communication, accuracy,
brevity and clarity. I am a Television Star, a Journalist,
Banker, Life insurance Consultant, Public Speaker and now
starting a company based on MLM. I need your regular guidance
and motivation for my new venture. I am from Asia. May Allah
bless you. -- Baqir Ali
Thank you for your insight. -- Dan
Hello Denis, chance had it that I only recently came across your
work. I have been schooled by Tony Robbins and Jim Rohn largely
in the past 8 years. Absorbed the wisdom of Zig Ziglar, Brian
Tracy and recently bought your CD-set which I just started
working on, while at the same time reading your wonderful "Safari to the Soul". It may be clear that I am already a fan of
yours. Today's e-mail on "Prime Time" inspired me again so much
to dedicate more time on writing the book I have in my head.
Thanks for all the inspiring thoughts you spread around the
world. Is it not great to know that you are making an increasing
difference in the world?! -- Dico van Barneveld, Holland
Thanks for sending us the Denis Waitley weekly last week. I
particularly liked the layout of articles, the use of color
breaks, the picture of the author at the top margin on the first
page, the fonts and presentation. It made reading through the
issue very fast and easy. Else, thanks for the fantastic
magazine. I always look forward to my weekly copy. God Bless you
and your team mightily. -- Winnie Jumba
Stop watching and Start Living in Prime Time! Excellent message
for me. Thanks -- Rajan
Dear Mr. Waitley, I am greatly benefited from your weekly ezine.
I would like to remain on your mailing list. God bless you. --
Stanley
Dear Denis, I am another fan of yours. I own a bunch of your
cassettes and books. I really can't pick out my favorite since
all of your materials are excellent. My TV. habit has been
greatly reduced over the years. Reading your e zines as well Jim
Rohn's et al as the prescriptions, help pull me through. --
Philip Winick
Thanks Dr. W. I have seen your VHS tape of "The Psychology of
Winning" and enjoyed that very much. Hope you are doing well at
this time. Have a nice day. -- Albert
I just ordered your booklets as gifts for the holidays along
with Jim Rohn's. I really enjoyed my first newsletter from you
and try to live close to your advise. I look forward to you
being part of my Prime Time and mentoring. -- Joan Chain
God
bless you all and what you do. I met Denis in Minneapolis in
1982. I wore a scarf to cover my hair which I chose not to fix
that day. I regretted that I hadn't worked on my appearance
before our meeting, chance though it was, after his talk. The
meeting did what it was supposed to do. I've never left the
house since without getting totally ready for the day. I got the
Seeds of Greatness that year and have since given the set to
what has ended up to be my best friend when we moved to Denver
that year. Thank you. -- Anonymous
Have recently purchased the Platinum Collection via J Rohn site.
I've listened to Zig, Rohn, Tracy and others. Denis yours is the
most practical. You've managed to get the motivation with good
ways to implement what your talking about. I'm sure your library
is huge and the quality of material on your CDs are very good.
Keep up the good work. -- Ashley
I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying your newsletters.
You are definitely out of the same school of teaching as Jim
Rohn, of which I am a huge fan too, but you have given me new
insights into myself, how I think and manage my time - for which
I thank you. -- Joan Woodcock (UK).
Yours is a great contribution to humanity, I really like your
ezine and I will always like to receive from you I will like to
popularize it here in Nigeria. I will refer it to as many people
as possible. -- Alabetutu Olukunle from Nigeria
I
enjoyed your second article and your poem about the robot. It
helped me out. I also enjoyed the second tip on accepting
compliments. -- Andrew
I have had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Waitley in person in the
Chicago area about 10 years ago, and I can tell you that he is
the "real thing". Thanks for the positive and insightful
newsletter, keep up the excellent work. -- B. Maness
I am a long time disciple of yours Denis. Your material makes
the most sense, to me. The morality and knowledge that Denis
applies sets his material apart. -- Stuart
Kyle, you're right... Denis is providing an excellent e-letter.
I subscribed immediately upon your first mention of it. And
thanks to you and your team for putting together that marvelous
weekend in California. Not only were all the presentations
outstanding; all of the care taken to make sure everything was
first class made it a simply unforgettable occasion. I can
hardly wait for the DVD package! -- Penny C. Connerley
Please tell Dr. Denis Waitley that he is a role model for me. I
respect him a lot. He teaches me how to have high self-esteem
and to be a better person. I grew up in a poor family in China.
After years persistence for a better life, now I am living in
this great country. I feel very grateful to those who helped me
along my way to get my PHD in chemistry in China, to be a senior
software designer for a large company. I want to do my best to
help others to achieve their goals especially youth. -- Lisa
Wang
Hello, I would like to thank you for providing us with a very
readable newsletter! Denis Waitley has been one of my biggest
inspirations in the personal development area. His book "Seeds
of Greatness" has provided me with a lot of insights and
valuable lessons and I reread it once a year (since the late
80s). -- Niklas Daver
I took advantage of a special offer to buy your Platinum
Collection, "Healthy, Wealthy and Wise". The set, even at a
discount, was expensive but having heard the program, consider
the lessons priceless. I guess what makes your words so touching
to me is they are so much like the wisdom my now deceased aunt
gave me when I was living with her and my uncle as a teenager.
We were desperately poor on her Arkansas farm, but she followed
the same philosophies you are teaching. She saved at least 10%
of what little she earned, she owed not a single cent to anyone,
she was always happy and positive, raised almost all her food
from her garden and she always gave to others. Although she
lived a very modest existence, at the time of her death (she was
in her late 80's) she was worth well over $1Million! It's taken
me years to realize the power of those simple, yet profound
principles. I'm now in my 50's and through the lessons I've
learned from my aunt, you and others, I'm well on my way to
becoming a millionaire in my own right. I have a ways to go but
I'm making tremendous progress each day. Thank you for sharing
your knowledge-your much-needed inspiration is arriving at a
very crucial point in my life. -- James A. Boyd
Thanx
Denis, I'm a student, also working in renowned marketing. The
tips given by you for the last 2 weeks on how to deal with
people were really empowering. Thanx a lot. -- Vinita-India
Denis, I really enjoy your ezine and thank you for it. With
great admiration for you, I thank you for all you give to
others. -- Jerry Young
Wow! Great message for a great day. Thank you. -- Rajan
Really Great!! Thank You Very Much... -- Nicky P.
I was really blessed reading the first edition of the e-zine.
Thank you. -- Adebola Odu-Onikosi
I have been coaching since 1976. In the early eighties, I bought
a tape copy of The Seeds of Greatness. Over the last year, I
have been running modules for team leaders of companies like
Coca Cola, Honeywell, The Academy of Chief Executives and
others. I find myself passing on concepts and ideas with utter
and complete conviction, because I know they have worked for
thousands of people I have coached in the past. I recently
bought your complete collection of work and began listening
again. Your first tape cost me £3, or the equivalent of $5 in
1983. I now realize that you have been coaching me for over
twenty years. Funny thing is, I could have sworn that I actually
thought up some of that stuff myself! I believe that twenty five
cents a year is pretty good value for the wisdom you passed on.
Next time you’re on tour in the UK or I'm in the San Diego
area... lunch is on me! Thanks for your help. -- Tony Whittle
