			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi, Jack Zufelt here.</p>
<p>I love helping others and I feel it is a mission from above to use my God given talents, wisdom and knowledge to bless others. My weekend retreats do that in a very BIG way.</p>
<p>Here is a poem written by a graduate of The Zufelt Experience. (TZE)</p>
<p>Read it and you will see why it may be exactly what you are searching for so you can break free, soar and maximize your life’s happiness and joy!</p>
<p>This Zufelt Experience has changed some lives</p>
<p>For singles, kids, husbands and wives</p>
<p>The weekend began with obstacles, questions and fears,</p>
<p>We punched through boxes had connections and tears.</p>
<p>Be open, honest, willing to grow and to whatever it takes!</p>
<p>What a huge difference a Zufelt Experience makes!</p>
<p>Jack is powerful, intelligent, gentle and kind,</p>
<p>He has empowered so many with his genius mind;</p>
<p>He creates an environment that is safe and true;</p>
<p>He helped find core desires and saved marriages too</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve learned to make choices, take risks, change and trust;</p>
<p>Be open and honest and to what we must.</p>
<p>He speaks the truth and as a mentor he&#8217;s in the know</p>
<p>He&#8217;s a miracle worker, magician, minister and knows how to make dough</p>
<p>When the Zufelt Experience is offered, catch a train, plane or car</p>
<p>Make a decision to come, whether it is near or if it&#8217;s far;</p>
<p>Borrow the money use credit just do what it takes</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center; "><img class="aligncenter" title="What is The Zufelt Experience?" src="http://review.be-ites.com/zufelt-exp/images/header.jpg" alt="" width="594" height="130" /></p>
<p>What is all the chatter and buzz about this thing called TZE?</p>
<p>TZE?  People all over the world are asking, “What in the world IS TZE???”</p>
<p>It is still one of the world’s best kept secrets. No more! Now, with the help of the internet, I am telling millions what it is and why it is so valuable to anyone who gets to attend.</p>
<p>Throngs of motivated people from all walks of life have attended my famous, TZE weekend retreats! They come from all over the world including Italy, Singapore, Norway, England, Australia and Canada.</p>
<p>TZE is an acronym for <strong>T</strong>he <strong>Z</strong>ufelt <strong>E</strong>xperience….a one of a kind event designed to create massive change and increased ability. You become the kind of person who can create MEGA success in your life, <em>SUPER FAST</em>! Just 2.5 days to be exact!</p>
<p>I have documented proof that in just two and a half days I can impact you personally in a way that will move you to continued, sustained perpetual action, focus and achievement that, frankly, is incomparable to any other teacher, trainer or expert you can engage at any price anywhere in the world.</p>
<p>That may sound like a brash, bold, arrogant statement – I am none of those&#8211; I think I am humble, but I am super confident, not just about myself, but about the power, simplicity and predictability and the certainness of the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">results</span> of my TZE weekend retreat.</p>
<p>At TZE we identify your invisible barriers that are getting in the way of your success….then we destroy them. Like blowing up a dam! Once that is done you will be able to move forward at any pace that you want!</p>
<p>We all have one or more invisible barriers. I have identified 55.</p>
<p><strong>Here are just a few:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>not knowing WHY you are not as successful although you keep trying,</li>
<li>lack of confidence</li>
<li>procrastination</li>
<li>low self-esteem,</li>
<li>wrong or limiting paradigms</li>
<li>being a perfectionist</li>
<li>wanting more but not know how to make it happen</li>
<li>fear</li>
<li>no/low passion</li>
<li>self doubt</li>
<li>marriage issues of all kinds</li>
</ul>
<p>Whatever YOUR invisible barriers are, we will destroy them with laser focus and efficiency. Only then can you achieve the success you long for and deserve….without being held back by an invisible barrier. All this in just 2.5 days? Yes! Guaranteed!</p>
<p>Results speak for themselves. See the testimonials at the TZE website. I have been referred to as the Wizard of Awes because of the AWEsome the benefits attendees get at these retreats!</p>
<p>It is an exclusive weekend limited to 20 paid students. I keep the TZE retreat small enough for me to be able to provide <span style="text-decoration: underline;">everyone</span> with what THEY individually need to create massive success. So register right away.</p>
<p>I am so confident that I can do this for anyone that I offer a 100% Money back guarantee!</p>
<p>Learn more about TZE and register at <a href="http://www.thezufeltexperience.com/">http://www.TheZufeltExperience.com</a></p>
<p>It is appropriate for you to call me and talk to me personally (not a sales agent) and ask any questions you might have. Call me at 303 741-0925.</p>

<p><strong>Here is an attendee, a Doctor, said about TZE:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I have taken &#8220;The Zufelt Experience&#8221; (TZE) and it was instrumental in transforming the way my business partner and I do our business! As a result we work better together, get more done and are FAR more successful. I highly recommend Jack and TZE.<br />
Jack truly and deeply cares about making a difference in the lives and businesses of those he works with. His integrity is impeccable and his business acumen is beyond question!” </em></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Full body scans and viewing of our naked bodies is not acceptable. Worse yet, is the “enhanced, full body pat down” where your whole body is firmly felt up by a stranger. Including children!</span></span></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://www.jackzufelt.com/media/tsa2.jpg"><img title="Transit Security Administration Naked Body Scans" src="http://www.jackzufelt.com/media/tsa2.jpg" alt="Transit Security Administration Naked Body Scans" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Transit Security Administration Naked Body Scans</p></div>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I am not talking about a “frisking” policemen do they are arresting someone. I am talking about rubbing their hands over every inch of your body including your breasts and genitals. If anybody were to do that in any other setting it would be called sexual assault and the perpetrator would be arrested and sent to jail!</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">But not if it is the TSA at an airport! They are like the</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong> SS</strong></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> (</span></span><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/GERss.htm"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">Schutzstaffel)</span></span></a></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> in Germany or the Gestapo. They don’t care that we hate the idea of us or our children being inappropriately touched or viewed naked by strangers. They have decided that they can do anything to us that they want regardless of how we feel about it. The justification is that by feeling everyone up and looking at their naked bodies they may avert someone smuggling an explosive onto a plane.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">There is huge doubt that these invasive actions will do anything to increase safety. I say no.</span></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Benjamin Franklin agrees. He said, </strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em><strong>“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”</strong></em></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong> I totally agree with that perspective! The TSA is carrying the concern way to far.</strong></span></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The huge controversy about the new TSA rules have lit up a firestorm around America. Why is that? Because we don’t like what they are doing to us and we are speaking up! Loudly!  They have taken away our freedom to say “NO” about something very personal and private.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">What freedoms are you willing to give up to Big Brother AKA big government? Shall we let them fondle our bodies at their discretion? How about just look at our bodies naked? All in the name of safety for the flights people are all getting on. I say no. Find another way or let us take the risk.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Where will it stop?</strong></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">A business associate and a dear friend recently flew from Arizona to Florida. I emailed him and asked: “</span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Did you have to go through</span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">the</span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">the new body scanner where they see all of you naked? Or did you have to deal with the new enhanced full body pat down search procedures of the TSA?”  His answer was:</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #000000;">“</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>Yes! As a matter of fact, I did go through that scanner. The machine picked up a piece of paper in my pocket so I was forced to go through the full body pat down. If I were a female getting that pat down, I would have filed a lawsuit! I don&#8217;t know how they are going to get away with that level of invasion of privacy and physical contact.”</em></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This month where we celebrate <a title="Thanksgiving" href="http://jackzufelt.com/attitude-of-gratitude-equals-happiness/">Thanksgiving</a> we all have much to be thankful for. This invasive intrusion into our privacy by one of the enforcement arms of big government is not one of them. I hope enough people protest loudly…not once but continuously until these terrible invasive activities in the name of increased safety, stop. </span></span></p>

If you&#8217;re on my email list, you already know about my good friend, Steve, but I wanted to follow up a little more in this blog.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been to <a href="http://www.theperfectbizfinder.com/prog9/?af=933559">his site</a>, you know how valuable the information is and how committed he is to helping everyone find their perfect business that will deliver the financial security and lifestyle that they truly deserve.</p>
<p>Listen, I believe in Steve and his mission 100% and that is why I&#8217;m emailing you today.</p>
<p>Steve just finished putting together a manual that teaches you step by step exactly how to find your perfect business.</p>
<p>Everyone has a unique idea for a business&#8230;</p>
<p>But very few actually pursue it. </p>
<p>Do you know why?</p>
<p>Studies have shown that the reason most people haven&#8217;t started their own business is because they don&#8217;t know if it will work.</p>
<p>They don&#8217;t know if they can actually do it.</p>
<p>And they don&#8217;t want to take the risk and find out the hard way that their business idea was not a good one.</p>
<p>And quite frankly, I don&#8217;t blame them.</p>
<p>Check this out.</p>
<p>Steve has found a scientific way to eliminate all of that doubt and mathematically determine what you&#8217;re perfect business is for you.</p>
<p>Go <a href="http://www.theperfectbizfinder.com/prog9/?af=933559">here</a> and see for yourself &#8211; it&#8217;s truly amazing.</p>
<p>Be sure to let me know what you think.  I&#8217;ll post this on my blog as well for you to comment.</p>
<p>To Your Success!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://jackzufelt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/chesley.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2243" title="chesley" src="http://jackzufelt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/chesley.jpg" alt="chesley" width="200" height="267" /></a>Sometimes it seems like the world’s going crazy, doesn’t it?  Earthquakes, famine, war, crashing economies and out-of-control celebrities.  We do what we can – donate money and time, pray, reach out . . . Sometimes it feels like a drop in the bucket.</p>
<p>If you watch much news, it’s easy to buy into the idea that we’re surrounded by nothing but darkness.  It’s enough to make you lose faith in humanity.<span id="more-2241"></span></p>
<p>Take a second look.  There are still a lot of heroes out there.  Some of them make the national news, while some you might never hear of, but they almost always have one thing in common – they are in tune with their Core Desires and it produces <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pn5alsFbL8&amp;feature=related">something positive</a> for not only themselves but other people, too!</p>
<p>Here’s an example.  Chesley Sullenberger – remember that name?  Maybe not, but I’ll bet you remember the story of what he did.  One year ago last Friday, “Sully” was at work, piloting Airbus A320 from New York’s LaGuardia Airport to Charlotte/Douglas International Airport in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Soon after take-off, the plane hit a large “wall of birds” which shut down both engines.  Sullenberger had the choice of returning to LaGuardia airport or attempting to land at the Teterboro Airport.  Neither seemed like a viable option, so he tapped into his years of experience and made a frightening decision:  He would take the airplane down in the Hudson River.</p>
<p>I want you to imagine this:  One hundred and fifty-five people (including Sully himself) braced for impact as they headed nose down toward the icy waters of the Hudson River.  “. . . to have zero thrust coming out of those engines was shocking,” Sullenberger said later.  “The silence.”  One of the flight attendents, watching Sullenberger and his co-pilot Jeff Skiles fight to save the plane, described it as like “being in a library.”</p>
<p>Through this crisis, Sullenberger illustrated for us the incredible resolve and power (Conquering Force!) that comes from being in tune with your Core Desires.  Chesley Sullenberger <em>knew what he was</em>, and he pursued that calling with an unquestioning single-mindedness that led him to that day of decision and prepared him to create <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pn5alsFbL8&amp;feature=related">something positive</a> out of a potential disaster.</p>
<ul>
<li>He spent his childhood building model planes and aircraft carriers, and watching military jets at a nearby air force base.</li>
<li>He gained his glider pilot’s license at the age of fourteen.</li>
<li>At age 16, he learned to fly in an Aeronica 7DC  from a local flight instructor.</li>
<li>He enrolled in the United States Air Force Academy, and soon after was selected for a cadet glider program.</li>
<li>By the end of his freshmen year, he was an instructor, and by the year of his graduation he was designated the class “top flier.”</li>
<li>From there, he served as a fighter pilot for the United States Air Force, and became a member of the aircraft accident investigation board.</li>
</ul>
<p>In an interview with Katie Couric, Sullenberger said, “One way of looking at this might be that for 42 years, I’ve been making small, regular deposits in this bank of experience, education and training.  And on January 15, the balance was sufficient so that I could make a very large withdrawal.”</p>
<p>Could you land a jet with 155 souls on a rushing, half-frozen river?</p>
<p>No, neither could I.</p>
<p>But can you be a hero?</p>
<p>You can.  In fact, you must.  You must do the heroic thing:  Search inward until you know what your true Core Desires are.  Only then will you unleash your Conquering Force that will propel you through all obstacles until you are immersed into the life you were born to live and the success you were born to enjoy.   Otherwise, your born abilities and numbered days will slip away, wasted.</p>
<p>Are you ready to create <a href="../../../../../tze-the-zufelt-experience/">something positive</a> and amazing out of your life?  Let me help you overcome your Invisible Barriers and hit the Jack-pot of success like you’ve only dreamed of!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/L-7Vu7cqB20&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/L-7Vu7cqB20&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>You’ve found your Core Desires.  You can feel the power of your Conquering Force surging in your very soul, pushing you forward to your brilliant future of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENi1SvEFqsQ&amp;feature=PlayList&amp;p=98084915B959C4C0&amp;playnext=1&amp;playnext_from=PL&amp;index=43">self actualization</a> and success.  So what’s stopping you?</p>
<p>In my last blog, I talked about how you can determine whether Invisible Barriers are holding you back.  Now let’s talk about what those barriers might be:<span id="more-2226"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>First, the obvious one:  You <em>haven’t</em> yet found your Core Desires, so you’re trying to push yourself into future that you don’t realize you don’t want.</li>
<li>You doubt your ability to succeed.  If you’ve spent most of your life trying to achieve goals that you weren’t really born to achieve, you’ve probably tasted your share of failure.  Now that you’re embarking on the right journey, you’ll begin to see successes like you’ve never seen before (punctuated by the inevitable setbacks) and you’ll start to trust your abilities.</li>
<li>You’re so relieved/positive/excited to have discovered  your true Core Desires that you expect your path to be clear.  The path won’t be clear.  There are always setbacks and obstacles.  Unleashing your Conquering Force doesn’t eliminate challenges; it just gives you the power to get through them.</li>
<li>You’re in too much of a hurry to do your research.  You’ve heard me use this phrase before:  <em>due diligence</em>.  It means giving a task the amount of time, money or energy that it deserves, considering what’s at stake.  This is your life we’re talking about, here.  Does that give some indication of how much due diligence your preparation deserves?</li>
<li>Your pride prevents you from risking mistakes (because you’ll look bad) or from learning from them (because you don’t want to admit that you’re wrong).    There is a certain amount of exposure when you throw yourself into a new direction.  People will notice.  They may comment.  Some may even criticize.  Are you pursuing your Core Desire?  Yes?  Then turn your eyes forward and keep striding  toward <a href="../../../../../making-money-is-fun/">self actualization</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>You don’t know how many years you have on this earth, but you know for sure that they are limited.  You’ll either put them to good use or look back on them with bitter regret.  It’s such an old, hackneyed phrase, but you really do have to <em>Go For It!</em> Find your Core Desires.  Flip the switch on your Conquering Force.  Go over, around, under or through every obstacle, including Invisible Barriers.  Make your time count.</p>
<p>Are you ready to reach the kind of <a href="../../../../../tze-the-zufelt-experience/">self actualization</a> that comes with discovering your Core Desires and igniting your Conquering Force?  Let me help you overcome your Invisible Barriers and hit the “Jack”-pot of success like you’ve only dreamed of!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Look at your life right now:  Your job or business, your relationships, your  financial picture.  Are you happy with it?   If you haven’t  found the success and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtIz1u8g1F0">self actualization</a> you dream of, why not?</p>
<p>“Well, Jack,” you want to say.  “It’s not that simple.  I mean, if it were simple, everyone would be doing it.”<span id="more-2212"></span></p>
<div id="attachment_2223" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 285px"><a href="http://jackzufelt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/baby.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2223" title=" Self Actualization: Are You Zooming Toward Your Success?" src="http://jackzufelt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/baby.jpg" alt=" Self Actualization: Are You Zooming Toward Your Success?" width="275" height="206" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"> Self Actualization: Are You Zooming Toward Your Success?</p></div>
<p>It is simple, once you know how.  I’m not saying it’s <em>easy</em>, but it’s simple.    We’ve talked a lot about finding your Core Desires and unleashing your Conquering Force.  But if you’ve stalled, it’s time to deal with the invisible chains holding you back.</p>
<p>Have you ever seen a trained elephant?  Seven thousand pounds of mammal, held in place by a chain not much thicker than a woman’s choker.  Even if the elephant likes its handlers, it must want to wander off at times, go exploring or check out the pink cotton candy a few yards away.  But it stands there, swishing its trunk and looking around, never thinking to jerk its broad leg and snap that thin strand holding it back.  Why?</p>
<p>When elephants are babies, they’re put in a chain too strong for them to break.   The elephant tries to free himself, but soon learns that it’s futile.  As he grows, he doesn’t realize that the chain can’t hold him anymore, and he simply doesn’t think to try.</p>
<p>Are you being held by breakable chains?  I call these Invisible Barriers, and here are some signs that they are halting your progress toward <a href="../../../../../tze-the-zufelt-experience/">self-actualization</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>You find yourself procrastinating on behaviors that will move you forward.</li>
<li>You realized you needed help or more information but failed to seek it.</li>
<li>You rushed through a job that deserved your time and attention (due diligence!)</li>
<li>You set aside time to work toward your Core Desires, and, at the end of that time, realize that you’ve gotten completely side-tracked from the task at hand.</li>
<li>You allowed yourself to develop unrealistic expectations about your potential results, and then wanted to quit when they weren’t fulfilled.</li>
</ul>
<p>Don&#8217;t these behaviors indicate that you haven’t identified your Core Desires?  Sure, they can be signs of that.  But if you’ve spent the time and mental energy to know that you are headed in the right direction, you might be dealing with Invisible Barriers.  We’ll talk more about how to unearth and eliminate those barriers in my next blog:  <strong>Self Actualization:  What’s Holding You Back?</strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Self Actualization:<span> </span>Are You Zooming Toward Your Success?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Look at your life right now:<span> </span>Your job or business, your relationships, your <span> </span>financial picture.<span> </span>Are you happy with it?<span> </span><span> </span>If you haven’t<span> </span>found the success and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtIz1u8g1F0">self actualization</a> you dream of, why not?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Well, Jack,” you want to say.<span> </span>“It’s not that simple.<span> </span>I mean, if it were simple, everyone would be doing it.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is simple, once you know how.<span> </span>I’m not saying it’s <em>easy</em>, but it’s simple.<span> </span>We’ve talked a lot about finding your Core Desires and unleashing your Conquering Force.<span> </span>But if you’ve stalled, it’s time to deal with the invisible chains holding you back.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have you ever seen a trained elephant?<span> </span>Seven thousand pounds of mammal, held in place by a chain not much thicker than a woman’s choker.<span> </span>Even if the elephant likes its handlers, it must want to wander off at times, go exploring or check out the pink cotton candy a few yards away.<span> </span>But it stands there, swishing its trunk and looking around, never thinking to jerk its broad leg and snap that thin strand holding it back.<span> </span>Why?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When elephants are babies, they’re put in a chain too strong for them to break.<span> </span><span> </span>The elephant tries to free himself, but soon learns that it’s futile.<span> </span>As he grows, he doesn’t realize that the chain can’t hold him anymore, and he simply doesn’t think to try.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are you being held by breakable chains?<span> </span>I call these Invisible Barriers, and here are some signs that they are halting your progress toward <a href="../tze-the-zufelt-experience/">self-actualization</a>:</p>

It is so much more, relationship strengthening, self-esteem and confidence building as well as the correct approach to all problem solving. Now I&#8217;ve got happiness and success for life. ~ Terence Toh&lt;/div&gt;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&#8220;I found The Zufelt Experience different from other types of success seminars. &lt;span class=&#8221;il&#8221;&gt;Jack&lt;/span&gt;&#8217;s approach is very personal and it breaks barriers that have prevented me from achieving success and it opened up my heart and revealed my core desire. It definitely is a &#8220;must attend&#8221; for people wanting to excel and achieve unlimited potential.&#8221; ~ Ting Lick Tee</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">&#8220;I got more than what I ever expected. I learned so much more about myself. The experience is absolutely life changing. The amount that I paid for the wisdom I received cannot be compared. It is priceless!

		<description><![CDATA[You might be wondering why I’m writing about Jasper Schuringa in a blog post about self transformation.  His heroism is obviously a great example to us, but, besides that, he serves as a terrific model of the difference between living by Core Desires versus living by goal-setting, affirmations, and (the dreaded) New Year’s Resolutions.  If you read my last blog, you know that in crisis moments, heroes probably aren’t sitting down and listing goals, baby steps, affirmations and rewards.  Heroes see what they want and they go get it! ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“When I saw the suspect,” said Jasper Schuringa to CNN, “that he was getting on fire, I freaked, of course.  And without any hesitation I just jumped over all the seats.  And I jumped to the suspect.  I was thinking like, he’s trying to blow up the plane.”<span id="more-2190"></span></p>
<p>You’ve heard of him by now – hero Jasper Schuringa threw himself on the terrorist who was trying to blow up Northwest Airlines Flight 253, grabbed the bomb out of his hands and held him while other people put the fire out with blankets and fire extinguishers.<div id="attachment_2204" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 285px"><a href="http://jackzufelt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/butterfly.jpg"><img src="http://jackzufelt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/butterfly.jpg" alt=" Self Transformation: Where Is My ON Switch?!" title=" Self Transformation: Where Is My ON Switch?!" width="275" height="206" class="size-full wp-image-2204" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"> Self Transformation: Where Is My ON Switch?!</p></div></p>
<p>First, let me say, my gratitude and admiration know no bounds.  I can only hope that I would have that kind of courage in a similar situation.  Actually, my greater hope is I’ll never have to face a similar situation, but <em>if</em> I did, I’d want to react like Jasper Schuringa.</p>
<p>You might be wondering why I’m writing about Jasper Schuringa in a blog post about <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/12/30/terror.passenger.account/index.html">self transformation</a>.  His heroism is obviously a great example to us, but, besides that, he serves as a terrific model of the difference between living by <strong>Core Desires</strong> versus living by goal-setting, affirmations, and (the dreaded) <em>New Year’s Resolutions.</em></p>
<p>If you read my last blog, you know that in crisis moments, heroes probably aren’t sitting down and listing goals, baby steps, affirmations and rewards.  Heroes <em>see what they want and they go get it!</em> Jasper Schuringa knew what he wanted – an intact airplane.  So he leaped over seats and went after it.</p>
<p>This is the kind of intensity that I want for you in your life!  Hopefully you’ll never come face to face with a terrorist.  But you are face to face with time, mediocrity, and unrealized hopes.   It’s time to unleash the Conquering Force in you to find the <a href="http://jackzufelt.com/12-days-of-christmas/everyone-loves-presents/">self transformation </a>that will change your life forever.  How?</p>
<p>First, answer these two questions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Are you smart enough to learn what someone is willing to teach you?</li>
<li>Do you believe that the information  that you need to know to achieve the success you want already exists somewhere in a book, class, CD, coach or minister or course of some kind?</li>
</ul>
<p>Let me make this easy for you:  the answer to both questions is</p>
<p align="center"><strong>YES!</strong></p>
<p>Mark Twain once said, “I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life.  The problem is that I can’t find anybody who can tell me what they want.”</p>
<p>Can you have what you want out of life?</p>
<p>Let’s say it again:</p>
<p align="center"><strong>YES!</strong></p>
<p>Do you know how to get it?</p>
<p>My friend, it’s time to learn.</p>
<p>If you’re ready to make real, lasting changes in your life, learn how now by accepting my gift to you this New Years, a huge discount on my <a href="http://12daysxmas.com/ny10offer" target="_blank">self-transformation</a> products that are proven, truthful and effective.</p>
<p>Have a brilliantly successful 2010!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>If you like Christmas stories you will love this one!  Enjoy! </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Christmas Eve 1881</strong></p>
<p>Pa never had much compassion for the lazy or those who squandered their means and then never had enough for the necessities. But for those who were genuinely in need, his heart was as big as all outdoors. It was from him that I learned the greatest joy in life comes from giving, not from receiving. It was Christmas Eve 1881. I was fifteen years old and feeling like the world had caved in on me because there just hadn&#8217;t been enough money to buy me the rifle that I&#8217;d wanted for Christmas. We did the chores early that night for some reason. I just figured Pa wanted a little extra time so we could read in the Bible.<span id="more-2073"></span></p>
<p>After supper was over I took my boots off and stretched out in front of the fireplace and waited for Pa to get down the old Bible. I was still feeling sorry for myself and, to be honest, I wasn&#8217;t in much of a mood to read Scriptures. But Pa didn&#8217;t get the Bible, instead he bundled up again and went outside. I couldn&#8217;t figure it out because we had already done all the chores. I didn&#8217;t worry about it long though, I was too busy wallowing in self-pity.</p>
<p>Soon Pa came back in. It was a cold clear night out and there was ice in his beard. &#8220;Come on, Matt,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Bundle up good, it&#8217;s cold out tonight.&#8221; I was really upset then. Not only wasn&#8217;t I getting the rifle for Christmas, now Pa was dragging me out in the cold, and for no earthly reason that I could see. We&#8217;d already done all the chores, and I couldn&#8217;t think of anything else that needed doing, especially not on a night like this. But I knew Pa was not very patient at one dragging one&#8217;s feet when he&#8217;d told them to do something, so I got up and put my boots back on and got my cap, coat, and mittens. Ma gave me a mysterious smile as I opened the door to leave the house. Something was up, but I didn&#8217;t know what.</p>
<p>Outside, I became even more dismayed. There in front of the house was the work team, already hitched to the big sled. Whatever it was we were going to do wasn&#8217;t going to be a short, quick, little job. I could tell. We never hitched up this sled unless we were going to haul a big load. Pa was already up on the seat, reins in hand. I reluctantly climbed up beside him. The cold was already biting at me. I wasn&#8217;t happy. When I was on, Pa pulled the sled around the house and stopped in front of the woodshed. He got off and I followed. &#8220;I think we&#8217;ll put on the high sideboards,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Here, help me.&#8221; The high sideboards! It had been a bigger job than I wanted to do with just the low sideboards on, but whatever it was we were going to do would be a lot bigger with the high side boards on.</p>
<p>After we had exchanged the sideboards, Pa went into the woodshed and came out with an armload of wood &#8211; the wood I&#8217;d spent all summer hauling down from the mountain, and then all Fall sawing into blocks and splitting. What was he doing? Finally I said something. &#8220;Pa,&#8221; I asked, &#8220;what are you doing?&#8221; You been by the Widow Jensen&#8217;s lately?&#8221; he asked.</p>
<p>The Widow Jensen lived about two miles down the road. Her husband had died a year or so before and left her with three children, the oldest being eight. Sure, I&#8217;d been by, but so what?</p>
<p>Yeah,&#8221; I said, &#8220;Why?&#8221; &#8220;I rode by just today,&#8221; Pa said. &#8220;Little Jakey was out digging around in the woodpile trying to find a few chips. They&#8217;re out of wood, Matt.&#8221; That was all he said and then he turned and went back into the woodshed for an other armload of wood. I followed him. We loaded the sled so high that I began to wonder if the horses would be able to pull it. Finally, Pa called a halt to our loading, then we went to the smoke house and Pa took down a big ham and a side of bacon. He handed them to me and told me to put them in the sled and wait. When he returned he was carrying a sack of flour over his right shoulder and a smaller sack of something in his left hand. &#8220;What&#8217;s in the little sack?&#8221; I asked. Shoes, they&#8217;re out of shoes. Little Jakey just had gunny sacks wrapped around his feet when he was out in the woodpile this morning. I got the children a little candy too. It just wouldn&#8217;t be Christmas without a little candy.&#8221;</p>
<p>We rode the two miles to Widow Jensen&#8217;s pretty much in silence. I tried to think through what Pa was doing. We didn&#8217;t have much by worldly standards. Of course, we did have a big woodpile, though most of what was left now was still in the form of logs that I would have to saw into blocks and split before we could use it. We also had meat and flour, so we could spare that, but I knew we didn&#8217;t have any money, so why was Pa buying them shoes and candy? Really, why was he doing any of this? Widow Jensen had closer neighbors than us; it shouldn&#8217;t have been our concern.</p>
<p>We came in from the blind side of the Jensen house and unloaded the wood as quietly as possible, then we took the meat and flour and shoes to the door. We knocked. The door opened a crack and a timid voice said, &#8220;Who is it?&#8221; &#8220;Lucas Miles, Ma&#8217;am, and my son, Matt, could we come in for a bit?&#8221; Widow Jensen opened the door and let us in. She had a blanket wrapped around her shoulders. The children were wrapped in another and were sitting in front of the fireplace by a very small fire that hardly gave off any heat at all. Widow Jensen fumbled with a match and finally lit the lamp.</p>
<p>&#8220;We brought you a few things, Ma&#8217;am,&#8221; Pa said and set down the sack of flour. I put the meat on the table. Then Pa handed her the sack that had the shoes in it. She opened it hesitantly and took the shoes out one pair at a time. There was a pair for her and one for each of the children &#8211; sturdy shoes, the best, shoes that would last. I watched her carefully. She bit her lower lip to keep it from trembling and then tears filled her eyes and started running down her cheeks. She looked up at Pa like she wanted to say something, but it wouldn&#8217;t come out.</p>
<p>&#8220;We brought a load of wood too, Ma&#8217;am,&#8221; Pa said.</p>
<p>He turned to me and said, &#8220;Matt, go bring in enough to last awhile. Let&#8217;s get that fire up to size and heat this place up.&#8221; I wasn&#8217;t the same person when I went back out to bring in the wood. I had a big lump in my throat and as much as I hate to admit it, there were tears in my eyes too. In my mind I kept seeing those three kids huddled around the fireplace and their mother standing there with tears running down her cheeks with so much gratitude in her heart that she couldn&#8217;t speak. My heart swelled within me and a joy that I&#8217;d never known before, filled my soul. I had given at Christmas many times before, but never when it had made so much difference. I could see we were literally saving the lives of these people. I soon had the fire blazing and everyone&#8217;s spirits soared.</p>
<p>The kids started giggling when Pa handed them each a piece of candy and Widow Jensen looked on with a smile that probably hadn&#8217;t crossed her face for a long time. She finally turned to us. &#8220;God bless you,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I know the Lord has sent you. The children and I have been praying that he would send one of his angels to spare us.&#8221; In spite of myself, the lump returned to my throat and the tears welled up in my eyes again. I&#8217;d never thought of Pa in those exact terms before, but after Widow Jensen mentioned it I could see that it was probably true.</p>
<p>I was sure that a better man than Pa had never walked the earth. I started remembering all the times he had gone out of his way for Ma and me, and many others. The list seemed endless as I thought on it. Pa insisted that everyone try on the shoes before we left. I was amazed when they all fit and I wondered how he had known what sizes to get. Then I guessed that if he was on an errand for the Lord that the Lord would make sure he got the right sizes.</p>
<p>Tears were running down Widow Jensen&#8217;s face again when we stood up to leave. Pa took each of the kids in his big arms and gave them a hug. They clung to him and didn&#8217;t want us to go. I could see that they missed their Pa, and I was glad that I still had mine. At the door Pa turned to Widow Jensen and said, &#8220;The Mrs. wanted me to invite you and the children over for Christmas dinner tomorrow. The turkey will be more than the three of us can eat, and a man can get cantankerous if he has to eat turkey for too many meals. We&#8217;ll be by to get you about eleven. It&#8217;ll be nice to have some little ones around again. Matt, here, hasn&#8217;t been little for quite a spell.&#8221; I was the youngest. My two brothers and two sisters had all married and had moved away. Widow Jensen nodded and said, &#8220;Thank you, Brother Miles. I don&#8217;t have to say , May the Lord bless you, I know for certain that He will.&#8221;</p>
<p>Out on the sled I felt a warmth that came from deep within and I didn&#8217;t even notice the cold. When we had gone a ways, Pa turned to me and said, &#8220;Matt, I want you to know something. Your ma and me have been tucking a little money away here and there all year so we could buy that rifle for you, but we didn&#8217;t have quite enough. Then yesterday a man who owed me a little money from years back came by to make things square. Your ma and me were real excited, thinking that now we could get you that rifle, and I started into town this morning to do just that, but on the way I saw little Jakey out scratching in the woodpile with his feet wrapped in those gunny sacks and I knew what I had to do. Son, I spent the money for shoes and a little candy for those children. I hope you understand.&#8221;</p>
<p>I understood, and my eyes became wet with tears again. I understood very well, and I was so glad Pa had done it. Now the rifle seemed very low on my list of priorities. Pa had given me a lot more. He had given me the look on Widow Jensen&#8217;s face and the radiant smiles of her three children. For the rest of my life, Whenever I saw any of the Jensens, or split a block of wood, I remembered, and remembering brought back that same joy I felt riding home beside Pa that night. Pa had given me much more than a rifle that night, he had given me the best Christmas of my life. Don&#8217;t be too busy today. Share this inspiring message. God bless you!</p>
<p>Let’s all be an “angel” to someone this Christmas season and through out the coming year. If you have children include them so they can experience the joy of helping others.</p>
<p>MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!</p>
