Like many people, my life have been filled with many challenges including cancer in my family, financial crisis and more I stress than I care to think about. I believe one of the best things that ever happened to me was when my Dad gave me a copy of a speech by Earl Nightingale’s The Strangest Secret. This one speech opened my mind to a new way of thinking more than any of the other personal development tools I had ever listened too.

I was a shy, reclusive person who was not aware of the power of seeing my mind like a garden that I could choose to grow either success or stress in. I did not know until I had listened to Earl’s words I had complete control over how happy I felt by how I directed my mind and how simple it could be to change my life.

When later in life I discovered I was extremely passionate about helping people improve their lives it is because of Earl’s words I created the inner courage for me to move from being shy to being a professional speaker.  You have to believe this was a big step for someone who was afraid to ask a question in class to being the one up front teaching and sharing in front of hundreds of people.

With over 100 professional speaking engagements on personal development now behind me I still continue to listen to Earl’s inspiring words to help motivate me before each time I present. His words are powerful and timeless.

I recommend you go to the source and invest in yourself and find out more about The Strangest Secret by following this image link to the company Earl Nightingale founded Nightingale Conant

Enjoy a wonderful day,

In a recent posting I wrote about Iron Mans Water Bottle as there is alot of interest in this stylish bottle since it was highlighted in Tony Stark’s workshop in the Movie Iron Man 2. If when you read this note your goal is to Buy Iron Man’s Water bottle, that is good, I am all for carrying water with you. Here is a link to Buy Iron Mans Water Bottle It is an Amazon link and Amazon is, as I checked today, currently offering discount prices.

Note: For my time if you buy via a link on this posting I receive a small fee from Amazon but you do NOT pay anymore that if you went directly to Amazon to buy a water bottle.

If you find this water bottle is not for you in terms of features or price then check out my water bottle review of over ten more choices located here

This goal of this posting is however to bring to your attention to something I think I did not mention enough about in my original posting about Iron Man’s Water Bottle. That is that at the top of each KOR ONE Hydration Vessel (Iron Man’s Water Bottle) is a special stone to write an inspirational note to yourself so that everytime you drink from the water bottle you see a positive affirmation.

KOR ( the maker of Iron Man’s water bottle) calls these KOR stones and you can write your on inspiration message on a KOR stone included or use one of the five stones with preprinted inspirational messages like Better Me Better World, Now is the Time, Laugh often and Find Balance.

As you may have read I created ‘a print as many as you want motivational card’ set to encourage people to use the power of affirmations as much as possible. Details on the Mini Motivational cards are here. So you can believe I am in favour of using inspirational messages.

Worth nothing from an environmental perspective the KOR stones are tree free, water proof and fully recyclable according to the bottle maker KOR.

Overall, the KOR ONE Hydration Vessel does a nice job of blending the idea of promoting inspiration and hydration. I look forward to see other water bottle makers using the same idea.

All the best to you,

David
