Learn How to Make Smoothies at Home
Sometimes success is as easy as learning how to make smoothies at home. It just takes a little bit of effort. There are lots of resources about time management, how to make the most of your resources, and self-help books about finding and using your talents. You just need to use the available resources, take some time to learn, and then put those things into action. Success won't just happen. It does take effort, but the results are certainly worth the cost.

Persective
"A pebble held close to the eye appears to be a gigantic obstacle. Cast on the ground, it is seen in perspective. Likewise, problems or trials in our lives need to be viewed in the perspective of scriptural doctrine. Otherwise they can easily overtake our vision, absorb our energy, and deprive us of the joy and beauty the Lord intends us to receive here on earth." -- Richard G. Scott, "Finding Joy in Life", Ensign May 1996
I love the idea of taking a step back during times of stress, economic or otherwise, to truly see the big picture. It's hard to remember sometimes that truly turning our lives over to the Lord is really the only important thing. We think that work or money or entertainment is more important than our relationship with God.
But I believe the stresses remind us - to depend on God and He will help us. Psalms 55:22 "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved."
Just my thoughts over the past few weeks... and I thought I'd share.

Success Reality TV with Tony Robbins
Just learned about a new TV show that has been picked up by NBC. The new series will star Tony Robbins - life coach and strategist. It actually sounds pretty good and I predict will be a hit.
Variety Magazine recently posted an article about the series.
NBC has picked up eight episodes of a new reality series starring famed life strategist Tony Robbins.
Show, from "The Biggest Loser" producer Reveille, reps the first major unscripted series at the net greenlighted by new Peacock alternative chief Paul Telegdy.
In joining NBC at the start of the year, Telegdy zeroed in on the success of "Loser," which is one of the few reality franchises currently exhibiting ratings growth.
"This was one of the first things I was pitched," Telegdy said. "We were looking for shows complementary of each other, and this fit in thematically with 'Biggest Loser.'�
The as-yet untitled show (tentative title: "Breakthrough with Tony Robbins") will follow Robbins as he takes participants and helps them face personal challenges; the pilot, for example, focused on someone who was a lifelong stutterer -- and who, by the end of the episode, was speaking in front of a public audience.
For each segment, Robbins will create a 30-day program for the individual to get their life back on track. Cameras will capture that evolution throughout the month, documentary-style.
"My goal is to not make this the Tony show, but to put the focus on the people who are transforming," Robbins said.
Segments will also feature some of Robbins' friends, such as Quincy Jones and Donna Karan, as they spend time mentoring people.
Robbins said he had been pitched several TV ideas through the years, but most were of the daytime TV talk variety. When Reveille came calling, the company's success with "Biggest Loser" gave him hope that there was an audience for something more life-affirming.
"I want to do something that has impact, something real and raw," he said.
Robbins noted that some auds know him because of his infomericals -- and that "you're known by the company you keep, and I'm next to the spray-on tan guy." As a result, Reveille and NBC are making sure that the primetime show will look "radically different," Telegdy added.
"This is not an infomercial for any of Tony's methodologies," Telegdy said. "But the reason why Tony makes a lot of money is the tools he sells are good, and he's going to be unpacking a lot of those skills in broadcast TV for free."
Robbins will exec produce along with Reveille's Howard T. Owens, and Mark Koops. Bruce Beresford-Redman is also an EP. Meanwhile, Robbins said his regular business and foundation work will continue.
