Destination Dallas - Transformation.com Summit!
Why should you go do Dallas?Why do I go to any of the transformation.com conferences, summits, get togethers or any of the other things that I do?I believe this gets back to Assignment #1 - specifically with the values that you hold deeply in your heart. Many years ago I read the book "Values Based Selling" by Bill Bachrach...here is a little from his book:"the values conversation creates a predictable emotional response and d...Learn to laugh at yourself
"BEN, where did you put it!" Two days ago I purchased some new shoes at Johnson & Murphy and the amazing saleswoman gave my 2 boys shoehorns - interesting eh? Yesterday morning Ben has his and JT had to find his and went to our basement and was yelling at Ben because he thought Ben had put it somewhere. I felt very confident that JT had walked right past it...almost walked on it...to his destination where he was now ...Week #8 - Meditation, Mind and Consciousness
Week #8: Meditation Mind and Consciousness. (written 3.9.10) I am learning that proper planning ahead of time helps me overcome procrastination so I'm scheduling my meditation practice this week on these days and times: Monday - MileHi Church...SOM101 class begins at 9am. I will be there by 8:40 for a 20 minute meditationTuesday - prior to my Yoga class I invest 20 minutes in the steam room for my meditation.Wednesday - betw...Huge personal Revelation!
"You guys are addicted to being right AND making other people wrong!" I sat in a seminar a couple of years ago and listened to these words. Of course, I knew he was not specifically talking to me, but over time I dramatically changed my mind. In my need for personal validation/affirmation I had established my identity and I defended it with everything I had. The question: "Have you ever made a mist...How to Change your life
By Ernest Holmes (1887-1960) I am on the 2nd of 10 sessions in the class called Science of Mind 101 through the church that I am going to and the information that I am reading is so congruent with my experience of change and our transformation community - it is fantastic! This particular book is a supplement to the class and while it has been very powerful, the very good questions at the end of the chapeters remain unanswered. In ...Reflect & Review - Just one year ago...
Notes from the transformation battlefield! Day 62 of 126... ~6~ The Law of Detachment In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty...in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. And in our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe. (Deepak Chopra, The Se...Black & Blue, yet moving in all the right directions!
And the swelling is down...how exciting! So, why did this happen to me? (I am embracing the perfect timming of the universe and now look for the gifts of things such as smashing my thumb) I have not found that answer yet, but I do get an opportunity to reflect upon my response to significant pain. Prior to this, last summer when I was in a bicycle accident and almost broke my arm was my last time that I experienced significant pai...Just incase you need a 3am friend...
You have John Welsh. His screne name is JohnnyBartender, but he is now know as Uncle Johnny to the Pimental family - my children love him. We just got back last evening from our last ski weekend and I have never been in the presence of a person who is more caring and service oriented. This man loves to be part of the human race and his actions are congruent with that love - he will do anything for anybody - I have never seen ...Extended exercise, nutritional enablement and whatever else flows...
Yesterday I opened the van door and loaded the kids into it, gave them and my wife a kiss as they pulled out of the driveway and looked around. It was a very plesant morning and I though since we are only 2 weeks from our Dallas 1/2 marathon, I should seize our nice weather and see how the body does on an extended run. I put on warmer clothes (I had on my gym clothes while loading up the kids as I was then planning on going to my gym) ...Huum, what was I doing last year?
Our blog, which is really our personal journal has some jems in it...I wrote this one right about his time last year: Notes from the transformation battlefield! (Week Eight) Day 56 of 128...Day 11 of 126...It is not about the bike....oops, that is Lance Armstrong...It is not about the set, rep or the exercise!As I consult my Franklin planner, it was week nine last year that Theresa left me and the boys for a week and went to California for ...What if...
2.24.09 What if... Napoleon Hill's Think & Grow Rich is one of the tapes in my car (ya, my car has a casette player in it!) and I have been playing the mental ping pong with the two concepts: "thoughts are things" and "every adversity carries with it the seed of an equivalent benefit." He ends this recording stating that our country has always emerged, like the phoenix bird, from th...The way my life works...
Yesterday we went to church. During the announcements it was said that classes were beginning this week. I thought, one of these days, I would love to take a class here!The paster gets up and tells us that classes will be starting this week and you can get more information in the hall.In the end of the service, Theresa says, "I'll get the kids, why don't you go see when these classes are offered." The beginning class works with ...The foundation of our Friday Afternoon Circles:
Last Friday was the 3rd meeting that we have done, here in Colorado, with this new concept called Friday Afternoon Circles. I have learned alot in the 3 weeks that we have met.The foundation of this 4-6 meeting is in the 11 Keys to becoming a masterful transfformation guide (which are somewhere in the archives of our community - Bill shared these with us in Hawaii last year)1. Always be the change; always be changing2. &nbs...My Elusive Definition of "In Shape."
Perhaps, as a product of our latest personal growth around the concept of "Progress not perfection," I have really had the opportunity to look at this concept called "in shape." Many years ago after watching Body of Work and getting the original BFL exercise program, I was in shock at how poor my physical fitness was. I had been going to the gym regularly since I was a sophomore in College - Spring semester 1990 were my roommate really i...Week #7: Progress not Perfection on 2.18.10 &

My need to look good!Oh, what an amazing driving force it has been in my life - HUGE!As we were sharing at the Friday afternoon circle yesterday, the question came, Joe - you were never really big, right.My resistance line - 200#'s had just been broken and I can say that just a couple more years of the yo-yo exercise/dieting - Seasonal affective disorder charged - sugar addiction modified lifestyle would have taken me into that bigger category, B...Assignment #6 - The Positive Mindset
Three examples of uncertain thoughts I have experienced so far in this challenge process which have caused me to delay or procrastinate:1) Enablement, empowerment & Co-dependency - Am I really making a difference or just cultivating the belief that you cannot do it alone?2) I wish my wife were more engaged @ Transformation.com3) Don't I ever get the opportunity to actually think that I may arrive - at some destination at some time?

"Joe, if being negative worked, I would be the most negative person that there was." One of my mentors told me this a long time ago.Why/what am I resisting?When I read "Action Step: Three examples of uncertain thoughts I have experienced so far in this challenge process which have caused me to delay or procrastinate" nothing comes to mind.A Defense mechanism, perhaps?

Do you realize that Bill Phillips has never asked me to modify a blog that I have written. I wonder what kind of liability there is for someone worth a truck load of money who chooses to create a health and wellness online community and allows his members to really be authentic - to be who they really are?When I first joined and became active I often wondered if I should write about those items that really expose who I am - what I believe i...JoePimental
