Internet usage in percent (2007)Image via WikipediaStephen Pierce has a book out called "Make Real Money On The Internet"
Did you know there are people just like you who are using his information and making real money on the internet... right now?
But everyone has different reasons for joining...

Some members want to create passive cash flow so they no longer have to work long and hard and can spend more time doing what they love to do...

Some to enhance their lifestyle with monthly residual and predictable income so their families can be financially secure.

Stephen certainly knows you value your freedom, and you want more time to spend on what you love most while having the peace of mind financial security can bring.
It's worth the time to check it out.

THE POWER OF NOW

Prodigal Son, by Jeroen Bosch.Image via WikipediaIn the first chapter of "The Power of Now", Eckhart Tolle



"A beggar had been sitting by the side of the road for over 30 years. One day a stranger walked by. "Spare some change?" mumbled the beggar , mechanically holding out his old baseball cap. "I have nothing to give you," said the stranger. Then he asked, "What's that you are sitting on?" "Nothing," replied the beggar. "Just an old box . I have been sitting on it for as long as I can remember." "Ever looked inside?" asked the stranger. "No, said the beggar. "What's the point? There's nothing in there." "Have a look inside," insisted the stranger. The beggar managed to pry open the lid. With astonishment, disbelief, and elation, he saw that the box was filled with gold.

I am that stranger that has nothing to give you and who is telling you to look inside . Not inside any box, as in the parable, but somewhere even closer: inside yourself.

"But I am not a beggar," I can hear you say.

Those who have not found their true wealth, which is the radiant joy of Being and the deep, unshakable peace that comes with it, are beggars, even if they have great material wealth. They are looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love, while they have a treasure within that not only includes all those things but is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.

The beauty of how Tolle expresses the simplest of emotions, by showing the full depth of them, is in itself a gift the world needs to share.

AND YET HE DOES IT CONSISTENTLY, OVER AND OVER. GENIUS, PURE GENIUS!
