I was thinking about the little pearls of wisdom that I have uncovered while I have been here. Really too many to list.

So tell us, what little nuggets of enlightenment or wisdom have you found since you started?

1. People don't really know how much their simple truthful words have helped change and inspire me.

2. I really can become the person my dog thinks I am...Thanks Dave...

3. I am capable of the impossible.

OK your turn!!!

1. Dreams, even the wildest amazing BIG dreams can come true.

2. Yesterday I got the key to lasting Transformation. I have fought for this change harder than anything in my life the more success I found that harder I have been fighting to win, to succeed, to gain all that I want ..... yesterday I gave up the fight.

3. That there are some wonderfully amazing people in the world and some of them have become my dearest friends!

1) The love & support I get from everyone here. I haven't seen that in years.
2) Learning to lead by example
3) Inner transformation, learning to truly surrender my life.

There are so much more that I've learned on this Transformation site, it is truly a blessing to be a part of something so big as this. ( Although being a part of God's family is numero uno ) But still this is my second family.
Thanks Dusty....

"It's not who I am underneath......But what I do that defines me."

1. Community - caring, sharing, kicks in the pants and hugs

2. Guidence

3. Opportunities to help and encourage other people

Thanks Dusty

I know that some of my comments may not be exact nuggets - but they are all positive feelings and strength that I have gained from T.Com

A group of the most caring - unselfish people who only have positive motives.

People who I have come to feel/consider are an extension of my family

I have found my voice - and from the support of others am learning to use it.

Every bit of learning and growth that I have had since joining T.com can be atributed to the support others have freely offered.

That often it is the lessons that are not so comfortable that allow/enable the most growth.

Every post or blog or comment I read gives me a little nugget - a little gem of wisdom - a way to look at things from a different perspective.

That there are good people out there in this big world

So many more and I'm sure still more to come.

Total Gratitude

Only 3, Jaki!

1. My voice. It's not sad, it's really quite happy!
2. My groups! I love them all so much, and hope to someday be able to see everyone in person for a big group hug of thanks.
3. Assignment 8. I needed that. Badly.

1). To truly help yourself, you must help others!

2). I am not alone in this!

3). I GET TO..........

1) To help yourself, you must first help others
2) Words are powerful---they can lift a person up or they can tear a person down. MUCH BETTER to use our words to lift one another up!
3) It is so awesome to see so many people changing their own lives and positively influencing those around them. Happiness and contentment can be contagious! (Hallelujah!!)

1. True Humility comes when you are in the service of others
2. Focus on the things you an control while letting go or giving up on the things you can't
3. Happiness is a right, a God given privilege, and most of all it's a choice.

1) Proving the Zig Ziglar philosophy That you can get everything you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.
2) Stop worrying - Yesterday is in the past - Tomorrow isn't here yet. Today is my gift from God that is why it is call the Present.
3) I am stronger am more capable of so many things and I have busted through so many challengeing thing through the the last few months. I can't wait to see what is next!

1) The smartest people in the world are the ones who know they have something new to learn every day.

2) The world is FILLED to the brim with really, really good people.

3) Life is supposed to be fun (I knew this one already but really get to live it here at T.com!)

I have learned that there are people in this world that are not driven by a cynical and negative attitude towards life. that have made lemonade from the lemons they have been given in life (or to use my coaching colleagues analogy making chicken salad out of chicken s%#&.

And while I have spent so much time fighting and trying to "hold on" the true answer is to surrender and let go. And while I have not completely been able to do that, I am finally looking for the white flag.

I have learned that there are people other than my family that love me in spite of myself, that are willing to tell me what I need to hear not what I want to hear for MY benefit..............not just their own.

And I know, I know, this is #4 .....But I learned that Dusty really is a good hearted, kind souled, Teddy Bear that is getting even better looking by the minute.

I have found that 1) there ARE people on a team that want me to join, and that want to see me succeed. 2)I have found more than just a place for freindship and support, but a place for actual transformation. 3) I have found more than just a place to hang out and make friends, but a place where people are encouraged to do well, and everyone can share in each other success.

and sorry ,I know there were only supposed to be three, but most importantly, I have found that there really are so many great people in this world. I think it more sums up all the others.

1)Love & Support from people frm ALL walks of life & Faiths and Beliefs which fills my soul with JOY
2) Forgiveness of my mother & "family" to whom I distanced & astranged myself from for my lifetime basically.
3) Acceptance of others..their differences and opinions and lifestyles & acceptance of myself as well...

Dusty you KNOW I need more than 3!!!!! Maybe you'll do a part 2 ! LOL...Hugs my great & awesome freind! LOVE & HUGS,Laura

That's why I limited it to three...the fouth one is always a lie!!!

This comes from being involved with the BFL and Transformation communities for 9 years.

1. When I watched Body of Work back in '99, it was a Gift from God, compliments of Bill Phillips. And the one realization that I finally tucked in this Scarecrow's lack of a brain...it's all a matter of the heart.

2. Living is giving. (because Life is a GIFT)

3. Bill's not God or anything, but the guy knows what he's talking about and he only produces the highest quality, in spirit and deed. So I listen to him.

1. The willingness of everyone to give support and inspiration
2. Testimonies that feed my hunger for motivation
3. Honesty....none of us are perfect but we have to be honest with ourselves and others before we can move forward and progress!
I JUST REALLY LOVE IT!!!!!
