*****************”Is THIS going to be a gift or a burden?”****************
What do I mean by “THIS”? Read on, you won’t be sorry…
Sometimes you have to just stop and take stock of your life. 9/11 was one of those days.
Last week, a friend of my son was messing around with pills for fun after a party. She died. 16 years old.
Some moments in life shock us into realizing what is important:
1. Gratitude for what you have
2. The people who love you
3. Your health
4. And most of all — what GIFT are you going to give to the world while you still have breath?
For the last year, I have been re-thinking my whole program for men (and for women) around dating. Learning to spark attraction is an essential first step. Yes. Learning to connect with another human being — or rapport — is an essential step. Yes.
But to me, none of those mean anything, ultimately, without taking that third step — which is to learn how to INSPIRE devotion. And that means living an INSPIRATIONAL LIFE.
Sound like too hard a task? Then check this out…
My friend, Sean Stephenson - the “Three Foot Giant.” Sean was supposed to be dead when he was a baby, stricken with brittle bone disease. But, against all odds and wheelchair-bound, Sean turns 30 this week, is featured on THE FRONT PAGE OF THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE — and is taping his first TV show out here in LA.
I want you to read the article about Sean and I give the link below. But I want you to focus on what is, to me, the one key line in the article. It’s when his mother asked him, after yet another of his 200 broken bones before he was 18 (!!!) - “Is this going to be a gift or a burden?”
This part is for my men readers…I want you to ask yourself that question about any and all hardships in your life today. And I want you to ask how you can turn any of your burdens into a gift. Not just to yourself, but to all people, certainly to the women in your life — and to the extraordinary woman that you would like to inspire into devotion to you. I’ve met so many guys who get hung up on what they think is their burden. Sean, like so many of the other teachers I bring forward in my The Complete Attractor Series, is a living GIFT to help get us through our sticking points. And break us into more open, happier, more confident and easeful — and more successful lives. Here is the link to the article on Sean: READ IT HERE …
And then reflect: how can you turn your life into a gift to others? There are few things that will make you happier, and few things that will make you more attractive, naturally, effortlessly, deeply — to the kinds of women you most profoundly desire to bring into your life.
As I work hard to show in all my books and programs, for both men and for women, aim to flow energy OUTWARD. Be the source of good feeling. Don’t draw attention to yourself for the sake of yourself. And whatever it is you want to get, turn it around, and GIVE instead.
Give the thing, the feeling, the quality you’d most like to receive.
It’s what makes a life worth living. It’s a key element in making it… inspirational.
In celebration of Sean’s 30th Birthday, of Sean himself, I urge you to take action, identify what you think is a burden in your life, and see how you can turn it around…
From feeling bad about something in your life, to making someone else feel glad to know you. The way I feel not only glad, but privileged, to count Sean among my closest friends.
Be sure to get his new book, Get Off Your But! . Its not just anybody who gets his forward written by Tony Robbins!

Wow! It’s easy to take things for granted. I need to stop thinking about what I can’t do and think more about what I can.
Great post. Life is such a precious gift. I met Sean 4 years ago at a seminar. His story was so moving. He was a catalyst for to get me past my circumstances at the time.
