::How to Overcome One of the Greatest Obstacles of Success:: I'd like to welcome you to another issue of the newsletter, but, more importantly, I'd like to welcome you to 2005! As you begin the new year I think it's vital that you learn the skills necessary to create a happier, more successful life to ensure this is your best year yet. I know today's message will offer a principle to help you do just that. So let's get started... With the energy and enthusiasm of a teenager, Caroline finished her last push up and stood to cheers and applause from the crowd. She smiled humbly and took a well-deserved bow. Shortly to follow was her husband, whose daily routine included 400 sits ups and 200 push ups among a handful of other exercises that would test even the most fit of individuals. After his brief demonstration of youthful strength, Fred and his wife walked over to the talk show host to share their success story. _________________________________________________ Simply Amazing _________________________________________________ 'I wasn't always in shape,' Fred began. 'There was quite a stretch of time when I could barely see my toes, let alone touch them.' 'I remember that,' his wife laughed. 'I wasn't any better. I was facing some serious health risks and needed to make some major life changes.' This loving couple worked out every single day smiling through hundreds of push ups and sit ups along with running several miles around their neighborhood. Nothing that special for someone in their twenties or thirties. Not even that amazing for someone in their forties or fifties. But when you're 89 or 93 years old, that's simply amazing. 'I started working toward my goal when I was 65,' said Fred. 'I only wish I had started sooner.' His wife agreed. 'You're never too old to start doing what you want to do, but you lose precious time while you wait to begin.' Absolute wisdom from the lips of an 89 year-old woman whose heart, mind, and body belonged to a much younger girl. _________________________________________________ The Exciting Truth About Your Dreams _________________________________________________ Timing is a central issue when it comes to happiness. While many put their desires off until there is little time left to achieve them, others feel their time has already passed. They are trapped by the misconception that goals and dreams are achieved right out of high school or not at all. They feel locked into a life that is far from what they had planned on creating, with the remainder of their days ripe with regret. Bob Newhart, considered to be one of the greatest comics of our time, spent years as an accountant. An accountant! Imagine where he would be today had he felt locked into a life that he wasn't meant to live. Ray Crok is another prime example of an individual following his heart at a later time in life. Until the age of 52, Crok spent his time selling shake mixers to restaurants around the country. Then he made that life- altering trip to California for a meeting with the McDonald brothers. At an age when most people feel their best days are behind them he created a restaurant empire that stretched around the globe. For every Bob Newhart or Ray Crok who took a chance at a better life there are ten thousand who let their goals and dreams pass them by. The question is, which type of person or you? Bob Newhart and Ray Crok knew what they wanted. They had a clear goal which made it possible for them to achieve great success. The problem is, most people don't know what they want.

Many believe the right time passed us by many years ago. This common myth is behind millions of unfulfilled dreams and ambitions. What can you do to break free from its grip?
