Look Inside The Husk
Recently I ran across an essay by Dr. Maxwell Maltz that I would like to share with all of you!
Look Inside the Husk
By Dr. Maxwell Maltz
“And what is a weed? A plant whose virtues have yet to be discovered“—Ralph Waldo Emerson
WHEN DID THESE splendid words occur to Emerson? Perhaps one day when the harvest was ready to be gathered home and the bright fields rippled in the wind, wheat for the winter’s bread. For, ages ago, wheat was thought to be a weed, quite useless to man kind.
Perhaps on that day, looking at the ripe bronze fields, Emerson was returning from a visit to his friend the teacher Bronson Alcott–that tireless, undefeatable, unquenchable man–and paused to reflect on Alcott’s stubborn insistence that it was never the “bad boy” or the dullard who was to blame but those who lacked the patience and the care to probe beneath the surface for what was good, however unpromising or unfriendly that surface might be. There were no “weeds” in Bronson Alcott’s schoolroom.
So many times, in clinic and hospital ward, have I seen the apparently hopeless misfit transformed into a hopeful and helpful person–a giver, not a taker–by the simplest display of interest and belief in him. It always makes me wonder how many good citizens, creators and builders and contributors to our common health as a nation, have been lost because someone, somewhere, was misled by the husk and did not see the golden grain within.
I suppose it comes down to this: Our first “must” for everyday should be to pause before passing judgement, remembering that the apparently useless weed in the dirt of the roadside may, with care and cultivation, provide tomorrow’s bread.

Forgiving Yourself Is the First Step to Success
Okay so its day 2 of me deciding to make 1 million dollars within 365 days? I wonder if I can really do this? Well I guess we will find out!!!!
Well let me tell you a little bit about me. I am a recent MBA graduate, I have a 3 year old boy names Isaiah and I works from home, because it allows me to be with him all day. Now a little about about my finances! Currently, I am broke!! I am so broke that I will be filing bankruptcy this month. The reason I am broke is because I started a business October of 2008 and put my life savings into it and it went belly up. Then I had a hard time getting a job to supplement my income. Oh yeah I am also getting a divorce! So all in all 2009 SUCKED. But I am determine to make 2010 better!
Even though all this bad stuff was going on I never stop reading and learning. One of the best books I can across about mind set was Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz. What I love about the book is it talks about forgiving yourself RIGHT NOW for all your passed failures….the book goes to say that people have a hard time accomplishing their goals because they never forgive themselves for failing. They believe they are undeserving of new found success. So they stop trying……Sad
So even though I am about to officially file for bankruptcy and divorce! I am going to forgive myself RIGHT NOW for those failures. Those failures will not define me!!!!!!!!! So here I go
- Jose your first business went under and you lost all my money, but I forgive you
- Jose because of you I will have a bankruptcy on my credit report, but I forgive you
- Jose you couldn’t make your marriage work, but I forgive you
Wow it may should stupid but I feel better about 2009. I can’t go back and change what happen, but from this day forward I am a new man.

Welfare Nation
Why do people believe they can get something for nothing. I recently got a call from a potential prospect and he told me he’s joining an MLM company because they promised him spillover. I said, “They are lying to you!” The guy called me back later and said, “I point-blank asked them if I’d get people put underneath me, and the guy said, Well, we can’t guarantee that.’”
Spillover – Creating a Welfare Mentality
Good people don’t want welfare. They want to build it themselves. They just want to learn the skills they need to build this business and create residual income, money that’s coming in week after week, year after year, and they can will it to their children’s children.
And if you look closely at the compensation plans of the companies that promote spillover, you’ll find out that those who get spillover usually don’t get paid on it. There are other hoops to jump through to get paid on that spillover, and these people rarely ever qualify.
Companies & reps use “spillover” as a tool to drag in people who think they can build a business without doing any work. In other words, no sponsoring, no recruiting. It targets that type of person. When You Say “Spillover”, You Are Targeting Quitters!
When you see a network marketing company that promotes spillover on their website, they’re looking for welfare-minded people. The problem for you is, you can’t build with these people, unless YOU do all the work! That’s what they expect. And when you don’t build their business, they’ll be off somewhere else, looking for a better welfare plan. Conclusion? Run like heck from any company focused on “spillover” – and ALWAYS generate your own leads
