Over the past few years, the whole concept of creating, running and building an online business has been sliding downhill faster than the Jamaican bobsled team on sleek ice.

And some people who present themselves as teachers are treading on thin ice.

First of all, there’s the trend of people calling themselves “internet marketers” and wearing the label like a badge.

It’s very misleading, because it implies that “marketing” is all you have to do to be successful online; by contrast, most top “internet marketers” have full-fledged businesses, and understand that marketing is only one small piece of the pie…

The day after my birthday, I’m noticing a few things when it comes to perspective around age.

For example, for the first part of my life, every professional (doctor, dentist, business owner, store manager, lawyer, etc.) I ever dealt with was older than me.

For the next chunk of my life, they’ve been approximately the same age — some older, some younger, but averaging out around my general demographic.

Soon I’ll be entering a phase where they’ll all be younger than me.

I didn’t see these changes coming… they just kind of happened.

Do you remember the saying, “Don’t trust anyone over 30?” Well, “30″ used to seem “old”. Now it seems “young”.

Funny, though, I don’t really feel any older, despite all this. Maybe it’s like the French say:

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose. (The more things change, the more they stay the same.)

Nah, scratch that. I might not feel older, but I do feel I’m getting a bit wiser.

We all know that Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks (yeah, duh!)

But what if you’re finding it hard to be grateful for anything, because it seems like your life is just full of challenges?

Well, traditional “positive thinking” type teachers gloss over the fact that you need to be thankful for ALL of it — the “good” and the “bad”.

Otherwise, it’s like you want a battery to power your iPod or remote control using only the positive end, not the negative end.

It just ain’t gonna work.

I just wrote a post on the LWL Worldwide blog addressing this issue, and giving you a wonderful solution that you CAN appreciate: Are You Thankful for the “Bad” Stuff?

Keep Unwrapping the Mysteries of Life!

Happy Thanksgiving…

A special message for you, and a special life-changing opportunity, is on the LWL Worldwide blog.

Keep Unwrapping the Mysteries of Life!

Did you spend yesterday being “thankful” for what you have… or was it just another day?

Of course, Thanksgiving is a nice reminder to express gratitude. But if you’re lucky, it’s no different than any other day of the year.

After all, if you give thanks for EVERY SINGLE THING in your life every day — the “good” AND the “bad” — you probably find more and more to be thankful for!

Because the real secret is, you need to appreciate your greatest challenges if you want to live the life you truly desire.

The authors of Thank God I… get that, and they’re able to say “Thank God I…” for some of the biggest adversities anyone could ever face.

As a result, they’ve found more joy, peace, inspiration, and empowerment.

The same can be true for you too, if YOU want it to be… and to get you started, here’s a special offer from the Thank God I… authors (including myself — I’m featured in the upcoming Volume 3).

It’s an awe-inspiring collection of stories about triumph over tragedy, as told in the best-selling books, Thank God I… Volume 1 and Volume 2 (you get the digital versions, so you can start reading them right away!)

Plus you get a selection of synergistic bonuses, including my new e-book, Unwrapping the Mysteries of Life…

All for just $9.97!

10% of proceeds go to support the children’s charity, the Charitable Society of Friends.

And it ends after today, Black Friday.

To get your copies, just visit this link before midnight…

You owe it to yourself to check out THIS special before all those ones at the mall, because THIS one could actually change your life.

Especially if you have challenges in your life right now, this could be exactly what you need to change everything by the end of the year… or even the end of the week.
