			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Happy New Year everyone!</strong></span> <span style="color: #000000;">I have just arrived back home after 2 weeks holiday at our beautiful beach house in Apollo Bay (see image below).  The weather was amazing and it was great to spend 2 weeks reflecting on an incredible year in 2010.  I have a feeling that 2011 is going to be even more incredible and I am already sensing a big shift in energy as we start the new year.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"><a href="http://bradcusworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/apollobay1.jpg" ><img class="size-full wp-image-478 alignnone" title="apollobay" src="http://bradcusworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/apollobay1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="334" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">In 2011 we must make a transition from our heads to our hearts.  We are about to experience a big shift in human consciousness across our entire planet and the old materialistic, ego driven, dog eat dog world is about to crumble.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Over the coming months I will be sharing some powerful articles, videos and messages from amazing spiritual leaders across the planet.  The main message that I will be sharing is that we must start to live from our <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>hearts</strong></span> from a place of pure love, kindness and compassion for others.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Here are 3 daily tasks that you can start to practice today:</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">1. Start each day with a gratitude list</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">2. Spend 15 minutes meditating each day and quiet the mind</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">3. Spend a minimum of 30 minutes per day in nature and give thanks and express gratitude to mother earth</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Kiesha Crowther</strong> </span>(also known as &#8216;Little Grandmother&#8217;) has some amazing,  heart felt messages and I would like to share one of her short videos  below.  Over the coming weeks I will be sharing more of Kiesha&#8217;s videos  and also a number of other spiritual leaders.  Listen to the video with your heart wide open and feel the message that she is sharing.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
</span></p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="520" height="317" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FFPu26BJreY?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="520" height="317" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FFPu26BJreY?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Please forward this video to your friends and family.  2011 is a time to share and help others to remember who they really are.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Much Love and Gratitude,</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is one of my all time favourite YouTube Videos!  A story about an amazing father who would do anything for his son.</p>
<p>The only limitations in life are the one&#8217;s we place on ourselves.  We can be, do and have anything that we desire.  We just need to chase our dreams and overcome our fears along the way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Warning: This article may shock you!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://bradcusworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/arcimboldo_450.jpg" ><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; display: inline; border: 0px;" title="arcimboldo_450" src="http://bradcusworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/arcimboldo_450_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="arcimboldo_450" width="215" height="285" align="left" /></a> Over the past few months I have been doing a lot of research into commercial food practices and I was shocked to say the least!  I have decided to write this article to share some of my findings as I believe education is the key to optimal health.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The world is diseased and millions of people are dying from heart disease, cancer and pharmaceutical drugs. Many of these diseases can be prevented with the lifestyle choices we make and the foods we eat.  I am sure all of you know someone who has been effected by cancer or heart disease.  These diseases are preventable and curable and nutrition is the answer!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Some of the information that I share with you may be alarming and shocking to you (I know it was for me). My intention is to simply share the facts and allow you to do your own research and come to your own conclusions.</span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">Fruits and Vegetables</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Commercial Fruits and Vegetables are grown in soil that has been depleted of more than 80% of the minerals and microorganisms. This leads to fruits and vegetables that contain 80% less vitamins and minerals (when compared to Organically grown produce). You may think you are eating healthy but the truth is you are probably lacking many key nutrients in your diet.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The fruits and vegetables are very sick and nature has an amazing way of dealing with sick foods. The fruits and vegetables do not contain adequate nutrition so nature’s way of solving this problem is to send bugs and insects in to attack the plants and return them back to the soil. Commercial Farmers obviously want to protect their crops so they use a wide range of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides to eliminate the bugs and insects from destroying the crops. When you eat commercially grown fruits and vegetables you are getting very little nutritional value and you are filling your body with a wide range of toxins that are detrimental to your health.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The transit time from commercial farm to your local grocery store can often be weeks (or many months). To slow the ripening process fruits and vegetables are coated with a toxic array of chemicals. Many fruits and vegetables are also artificially coloured to ensure they appear healthy and edible (have you ever noticed the waxy residue on apples? This is a toxic combination of chemicals to enhance appearance and slow down the ripening process).</span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">Commercial Meats</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Commercial farming and mass production of meat has lead to incredibly poor quality and cruelty to animals. Cows are packed into huge holding yards and are unable to move. They are living in their own faeces. The cows get no exercise, no grass and are grain fed. They are very sick and to keep them alive they are pumped full of antibiotics (provided by pharmaceutical companies). When we eat the meat we ingest these antibiotics in large quantities and this has a dramatic impact on our health.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Cows are sold by the pound and many commercial farmers will do anything to fatten them up. Some commercial farmers feed cattle newspaper, cardboard and even cement dust to increase weight (these practices have been shown to increase bodyweight by up to 30%). When our bodies are loaded with toxins we put on excess body fat to store the toxins and keep them away from vital organs. Guess what we are eating when we eat the meat!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Chickens are stored in cages with their head out one end to eat grain and their backsides out the other end to lay eggs. Many chickens can’t even move in these cages and don’t receive any sunlight. Chickens often have their beaks removed to avoid fighting and cannibalization with other chickens.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Many meats have been irradiated to ‘sanitise’ them. A turkey is blasted with radiation equivalent to 150 million times that of a standard chest X-ray. I am surprised that they are not glowing!</span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">Microwave Ovens</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Microwaves have been shown to cause huge molecular changes in food that produce carcinogenic substances. Microwaved food has also been shown to destroy up to 97% of enzymes, vitamins and minerals. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">For a full list of dangers from microwave ovens click the image below:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/05/18/microwave-hazards.aspx" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/articles.mercola.com');" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000000;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Microwave" src="http://www.interconmktg.com/images_appliances/tm5050s-rt-500.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="242" /> </span></a><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/05/18/microwave-hazards.aspx" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/articles.mercola.com');"><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></a></p>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">The 4 White Devils</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The 4 white devils include white flour, processed salt, sugar and pasteurised milk. These refined and processed foods have been linked to a wide range of diseases including Heart Disease, Cancer, Obesity and Diabetes. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://bradcusworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/white_lily_bag.jpg" ><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; display: inline; border: 0px;" title="white_lily_bag" src="http://bradcusworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/white_lily_bag_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="white_lily_bag" width="248" height="194" align="left" /></a> Highly processed foods cause huge fluctuations in blood sugar levels and are stripped of many vitamins and minerals. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">These products have very high calories and very minimal nutritional content.  This leads to millions of people being overweight or obese and malnourished!</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">Canned Food</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Canned food was very convenient for soldiers in the war, unfortunately they are still around today!  Many people use canned and packaged foods as the main staples in their diet.  Canned food is dead food.  It contains no enzymes (due to heat treating) and many of the nutrients have been destroyed.  The inner linings of canned food are also toxic and these chemicals leech into the food.</span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">Pasteurized Milk</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Drinking pasteurized milk is like drinking poison. Pasteurization involves heating milk to extremely high temperatures to destroy the bad bacteria. Unfortunately this also destroys the beneficial bacteria and enzymes while destroying most of the nutrients from the milk. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The milk is then homogenized, a process where milk is pressurized at over 4000psi to break up the protein and fat structures to prevent milk separating and cream forming on the top. This makes the protein and fat molecules extremely difficult to digest and the body regards them as a foreign substance. The milk is then treated chemically to hide the smell of the rancid fats and is also bleached white to cover up the slightly brown appearance. A better option could be drinking gasoline!</span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">Plastic Containers</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Storing or heating food in plastic containers has also been proven to be very toxic to our health.  Chemicals from the plastic leach into the foods and these toxins act as estrogens in our body and dramatically effect hormone levels.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">To all the mums out there – Heating milk in plastic bottles (in microwave ovens) can be extremely toxic to your babies.  Consider heating bottles in BPA free plastic containers or glass bottles in a saucepan. </span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">Fast Food</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://bradcusworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/fatkid.jpg" ><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></a><a href="http://bradcusworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/fatkid1.jpg" ><img style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 15px; display: inline; border: 0px;" title="fatkid" src="http://bradcusworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/fatkid_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="fatkid" width="230" height="167" align="right" /></a>I talked about the commercial farming methods for meat production.  A Fast Food hamburger contains all of the left over bits and pieces from the sick animals (I won’t go into details).  This is all mashed together in huge grinders and then poof, out pops a hamburger!  If you want to completely destroy your health then I recommend eating fast foods on a consistent basis!</span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">Acidic Foods</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Most disease is caused by a diet high in acid forming foods (highly processed foods, meats, dairy, fast food, sweets, bread, etc).  Our bodies must maintain a certain pH level to stay alive.  If our blood is acidic our bodies must neutralise this acid.  To do this it leeches calcium from the bones and uses the phosphate to increase the pH level.  This leaves free calcium circulating in the blood which combines with cholesterol and blocks arteries (the cause of heart disease).  This can also lead to osteoporosis.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Okay, so you might be thinking, what can I eat then? Am I going to starve to death?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The good news is that there is a wide range of amazing food that is readily available. You just need to become more conscious of what you are purchasing at the supermarket and what is going in to your body.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">Top 10 Tips for Optimal Health</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://bradcusworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/fruit_vegetables.jpg" ><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; display: inline; border: 0px;" title="fruit_vegetables" src="http://bradcusworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/fruit_vegetables_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="fruit_vegetables" width="248" height="167" align="left" /></a> 1. Buy a wide range of certified organic fruits and vegetables. Yes, they cost more money but how much do you value your health?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">2. Avoid highly processed / packaged foods as these have been loaded with chemicals and preservatives. Most of these foods are dead and have lost the majority of their nutritional content.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">3. Buy organic free range meats. These animals have been treated humanly and do not contain chemicals or antibiotics.  They have also avoided irradiation.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">4. Filter your water to remove chemicals and fluoride</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">5. Try to eat 60 – 70% of your foods raw. Cooking food kills enzymes and denatures proteins.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">6. Avoid anything with artificial sweeteners (especially Aspartame). These sweeteners have been linked to several diseases including cancer.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">7. Minimize consumption of empty calorie foods containing excess white flour, sugar and salt</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">8. Throw out your microwave oven and choose a convection oven instead</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">9. Avoid pasteurized milk products and choose certified organic whole milk products in their original state</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">10. Eat a diet high in alkaline based foods such as fruits and vegetables (especially leafy green vegies).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>If it wasn’t around 10,000 years ago, think twice about eating it!</strong> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I believe that all disease is a result of malnutrition and stress. The pharmaceutical industry is a huge scam and they are making billions of dollars at the expense of our health (I won’t get into that now, I will leave that for another article!).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We have the power to choose what goes in our mouths and we also have the power to educate others to make informed decisions about our health. By purchasing foods from commercial farmers we are supporting the cruelty to animals and the use of chemicals and pecticides on our foods.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Make a decision to support local farmers with certified organic foods and we can all make a difference!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://bradcusworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/gratitude1.jpg" ><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-119" title="gratitude" src="http://bradcusworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/gratitude1-300x243.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="243" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">A few years ago I was introduced to the amazing power of <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Gratitude</strong></span> and it has completely changed my life.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">It is impossible to bring more into your life if you are feeling ungrateful about what you already have. Why? Because the thoughts and feelings you emit as you feel ungrateful are all negative emotions and they will attract more of those feelings and events into your life.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;">Be grateful for what you already have in your life now!</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">As you think of these things you will start to attract more things to be grateful for. Think about your family, friends, house, car, clothes, heating, cooling, electricity, fresh food, water, etc. Sometimes it’s easy to focus on what we don’t have but we must be grateful for what we already have before we can attract more good into our lives.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">When you are in a sincere state of gratitude your energy and vibration is one of acceptance and harmony. You resonate and project a much higher frequency which attracts to you the events, conditions, and circumstances that you desire.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Think of yourself as a giant magnet</span>.</strong> Whatever you are feeling, whether it be love, fear, anger, happiness, anger, joy or gratitude. You are creating a magnetic force that attracts and draws to you events, conditions and circumstances which are in direct correlation to what you are feeling. Fear of something creates a magnetic force that will attract more of what you fear. Expressing Gratitude for any situation projects a magnetic force that draws to you even more things to be grateful for!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Here are 2 powerful processes to start the attraction of gratitude and appreciation:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Process 1- Gratitude Book</span></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Purchase a nice book with blank pages and write &#8216;Gratitude Book&#8217; on the front. The left side of the page is for Gratitude Now and the right side of the page is for Gratitude in the Future.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Gratitude Now</strong></span><br />
Every morning write down 5 things that you are currently Grateful for. Start each line with <em>&#8216;<span style="color: #333399;">I am truly grateful for &#8230;&#8230;.&#8217;</span>.</em> When you really start focusing on gratitude you will be amazed by how many things you can come up with!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Gratitude in the Future</strong></span><br />
On the right side of the page write down 5 things that you are Grateful for in the future. Start each line with <em>&#8216;<span style="color: #333399;">I am so happy and grateful now that &#8230;..</span>&#8216; .</em> Choose goals that you want to achieve in the future and be grateful for them in the present moment. Feel the emotion as if you have already achieved your goal and visualise yourself in the picture.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">As you start to focus on the things that you are grateful for and lock into the frequency of Gratitude you will start to attract more things to be grateful for. Instead of focusing on lack and limitation you will now be focusing on health, wealth and abundance. By feeling Gratitude for future goals we are raising our vibration to the level required to manifest those goals in our physical reality.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Process 2 (from the famous book ‘The Secret’):</span></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><em>“Every night before you fall asleep, give heartfelt thanks for the wonderful day you just had (no matter what kind of day you had). Think about the next day, and intend that it is going to be wonderful. Intend that it is going to be the best day of your entire life. Intend that it is going to be filled with love and joy. Intend that all good is coming to you and everything is going to flow perfectly. </em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><em>Then when you wake up in the morning, BEFORE you get out of bed, again declare your intentions for the day and give deep thanks as though you have received them all. As you do this, you will begin to create your life deliberately and you will experience first hand the power that is within you to create the life that you desire”</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">One of my favorite books of all time is <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>The Science of Getting Rich</strong></span> by Wallace D Wattles. One entire chapter in this book is dedicated to the subject of Gratitude. Here are a few powerful quotes from the book:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><em>“First, you believe that there is one intelligent substance from which all things proceed. Second, you believe that this substance gives you everything you desire. Third and Final, you relate yourself to it by a feeling of deep and profound gratitude”</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><em>“The more gratefully we fix our minds on the supreme when good things come to us, the more good things we will receive, and the more rapidly they will come”.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The Science of Getting Rich has some fantastic principles and I suggest reading it multiple times.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://www.fear-to-freedom.com/downloads/science%20of%20getting%20rich.pdf" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.fear-to-freedom.com');" target="_blank"><strong>You can download a Free copy of The Science of Getting Rich here.</strong></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Start expressing sincere Gratitude and appreciation for everything in your life today and you will soon start attracting even more things to be Grateful for!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Action Step</span></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Start the Gratitude process today by replying to this thread and list 5 things that you are grateful for now and 5 things that you are grateful for in the future.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Try it for 30 consecutive days and you will be amazed by what starts to manifest in your life!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://bradcusworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/30.jpg" ><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-223" title="30" src="http://bradcusworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/30-300x270.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="270" /></a><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></span><span style="color: #000000;">The <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>30 Day Mental Fast</strong> </span>could be the most challenging but potentially life changing exercise that you have ever tried!  Make a commitment to complete this 30 day challenge and you will gain incredible focus, clarity and massive momentum toward achieving your goals.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;">Jerry Clark intoduced me to the 30 Day Challenge when I met him a few years ago in Mexico.  Jerry is a very successful Internet Marketer and Public Speaker.  You can check out Jerry’s website at <a href="http://www.clubrhino.com " onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.clubrhino.com ');" target="_blank">http://www.clubrhino.com </a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;">1.     Read a minimum of 15 minutes per day from an inspiring book</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Try to pick topics on Personal Development, Mindset, Success, Spirituality, etc.  If you haven’t read Think and Grow Rich then I suggest starting with this book!  If you read 15 minutes per day for 30 days then you should be able to finish the entire book in this time.</span></p>
<p><a title="Think and Grow Rich" href="http://www.fear-to-freedom.com/downloads/ThinkandGrowRich.pdf" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.fear-to-freedom.com');" target="_blank">Download a FREE copy of Think and Grow Rich here</a><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;">2.     Turn off the Television for 30 days</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">How many of you just fell of your chair?!  I did warn you that this wasn’t going to be easy!  I understand that television is a big part of many people’s lives but just try to keep it off for 30 days as it will have an incredible impact.  You will be amazed by how much extra time you have with your friends, family and also to focus on your goals.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">At the very least try to cut out all disempowering television such as news, current affairs, soaps, etc.  Our subconscious mind absorbs all of this negativity and is programmed to believe the crap that they bombard us with.  Our subconscious mind starts to think that people rip you off, life is dangerous, wealthy people are con artists, investing is risky, etc.  This constant bombardment of negative news can have devastating effects on our mindset and on our success. </span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;">3.     Turn off the radio in the car and listen to Audio Books</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Many of us spend hours and hours driving in our cars every single week.  Why not make the most of this time and turn your car into a University on Wheels!  An ipod is one of the best investments you can make.  Download audio books on Personal Development, Mindset and Investing and listen to them every day while driving your car.  You can get through an entire book in about 6 hours.  Most people drive more than 6 hours per week so that adds up to 1 book every week or 52 books per year.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Imagine the amazing impact this would have on your life and on your results!  I have found a fantastic website to download audiobooks and they have a huge range of titles from authors such as Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield, Brian Tracey, Jim Rohn, Wayne Dyer and hundreds more.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Click the banner below to download a Free Audiobook</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-3188298-10386157" TARGET="_blank"><br />
<img src="http://www.lduhtrp.net/image-3188298-10386157" border="0" alt="1 FREE Audiobook Credit RISK-FREE from Audible.com" width="300" height="250" /></a><br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #333399;">4.     Don’t read the newspaper</span></span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;">95% of the newspaper is bad news.  Bad news sells and like television, can have a devastating impact on our subconscious minds.  Friends and family will tell you about any major events that are happening in the world!</span><br />
</span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;">5.     Associate with empowering people.</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Do your friends empower you to achieve success and reach your goals or do they disempower you and try to hold you back?  Try this exercise: Write down the names of your 5 closest friends (the friends you spend most of your time with).  Estimate the annual salary for each friend.  Divide this number by 5 and this figure will be pretty close to your annual salary!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>How do you earn more money and achieve more success? </strong>Surround yourself with people who have achieved the results that you want to achieve!  Choose friends that will inspire you to reach your goals and support you every step of the way.  Who needs friends that drag you down and prevent you from fulfilling your dreams?  Their insecurity and negativity will prevent you from reaching your goals.</span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;">6.     Drink more water</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;">Did you know that our bodies need approximately 1 litre of water / 25kg of bodyweight.  If you weigh 75kg you need to drink 3 litres of water every single day!  Our bodies are made up of over 70% water and the majority of us are constantly in a dehydrated state.  This causes toxins to build up in the body, fatigue, lack of concentration, etc.  If you are not getting enough water then it is important to increase your intake gradually (otherwise you will spend most of your day on the toilet!).  Increase your daily intake by 1 glass in the first week and keep adding 1 glass each week after this until you reach the target of 1 litre / 25kg.</span><br />
</span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #333399;">7.     Walk for 20 minutes per day</span></span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">For the next 30 days aim to go for a 20 minute walk every day.  Walking is a great way to increase the circulation, clear the head, burn fat and decrease stress levels.  You can also take your ipod and listen to an audiobook at the same time!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Walking also stimulates our right and left brain together so you may find that you come up with some great ideas.  Take a pocket notepad and pen on your walk just in case you have a million dollar brainwave!</span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;">8.      Reflection and Visualisation</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Spend 20 minutes every day sitting in a quiet location with your eyes shut.  Express gratitude for all of the great things in your life and visualise the amazing future that you are about to create.  Picture yourself having already achieved your wildest dreams.  What type of house do you live in?  What car do you drive?  What travel destinations have you visited?  Put yourself in the picture and feel the emotion.  Take notice of any colours, smells, tastes or sounds.  Keep practicing this until you get tingles down your spine and goose bumps from head to toe.  This is a very powerful process!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">If you make a commitment to complete the <a href="http://www.bradcusworth.com/30-day-mental-fast"  target="_blank">30 day mental fast</a> I guarantee your life will never be the same again.  It will be a challenge and it will be difficult at times but believe me when I say that the results at the end will be well worth the short term pain!  Good Luck! </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://bradcusworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/eagle.jpg" ><img style="margin: 0px 15px 10px 0px; display: inline; border: 0px;" title="eagle" src="http://bradcusworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/eagle_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="eagle" width="282" height="210" align="left" /></a> Today I am going to challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and take a leap of faith to take your life to a whole new level! </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">12 months ago I was introduced to an amazing Personal Development program called Avatar and it has completely transformed every area of my life.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Avatar is like a user manual and toolkit for the mind.  We use the tools and exercises to peel back the layers of indoctrinated beliefs and discover that the answers we have been searching for come from within.  We discover how to eliminate limiting beliefs that are preventing us from creating the life that we desire.  The only thing standing between you and what you want to create is your beliefs!</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Change your beliefs and you will change your life!</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I have been searching for answers my entire life.  I spent over $100,000 on Personal Development courses, seminars, books, dvd&#8217;s, etc.  They had an amazing impact on my life but they did not dig deeper into the limiting beliefs that were sabotaging my results.  I am sure many of you can relate to what I am talking about!  I had positive affirmations, vision boards and written goals.  I spent thousands of hours studying the Stock Market, Property Investing and Internet Marketing.  I was so determined to achieve success and I made a decision to never give up.  I thought I could achieve success with a never say die attitude!  I was wrong and it was like banging my head against a brick wall for more than 5 years.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Unfortunately many people are currently experiencing the same situation hoping and praying that they will soon break through to the other side.  Drive, Passion and Determination will only get you so far.  Eventually we always default back to our subconscious blueprint of limiting beliefs.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">How do you know if you have subconscious limiting beliefs?</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The best way to determine your current beliefs is to look at your current reality!  Are you struggling financially?  Is your health suffering?  Are your relationships up and down like a rollercoaster?  Do you seem to attract the same situations in your life over and over again?  Do you feel like you are working so hard but not getting any closer to your goals?  All of these experiences come down to limiting beliefs. Many of these beliefs were adopted during childhood.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Avatar provides the tools to uncover these limiting beliefs and you will be amazed by what starts to surface!</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Just imagine the power of learning some tools where you can discreate limiting beliefs that have been holding you back for years and replace them with empowering creations that are in alignment with your higher self and what you want to create!  Do you think learning these tools and strategies would be worth a 9 day commitment and a small investment?  Avatar will completely transform every area of your life!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Investing in you is the best investment you can ever make and it will also be an amazing gift to the rest of the world as you will empower others to also make a change.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">My biggest passion in life is sharing Avatar with the rest of the world and assisting the mission of creating an Enlightened Planetary Civilization. The world needs to change and the only thing preventing us from moving forward is conflicting beliefs.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Harry Palmer says <em>&#8216;When we perceive that the only difference between us is our beliefs and that beliefs can be created or discreated with ease, the right and wrong game will wind down, a co-create game will unfold, and world peace will ensue&#8217;.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">What an amazing world it would be if we realized that we are all connected, we all come from the same source and the only thing that separates us is our beliefs!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The next Avatar course starts on July 3rd in Orlando, Florida.  There will be more than 1000 students at this course from 50 countries across the world. </span><span style="color: #000000;">If you are ready to create an amazing life then I highly recommend attending this course.  Life is too short to live in lack and limitation.  You deserve to create the life of your dreams!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">You may believe that you don&#8217;t have enough time, money, etc to invest in this course.  How long are you going to let these beliefs rule your life?  When you make a decision to take a leap of faith and follow your heart then I guarantee that time and money will never be the problem.  The only thing standing in the way of you and success is yourself!</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Sometimes we need to take a leap of faith and grow our wings on the way down!</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The biggest regret that people have when they are about to die is that they didn&#8217;t take more risks in life.  Are you going to live a life full of regrets or are you up for the challenge to take your life to a whole new level?</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Today I am going to discuss one of the most powerful lessons that I have ever learnt. If you master the teachings from this lesson then I guarantee your life will never be the same again!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>What we focus on becomes our reality!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Four years ago I read an amazing book that has changed my life forever. The book is called ‘Think and Grow Rich’ and was written by Napoleon Hill in 1937. Napoleon Hill spent his entire life studying the laws of success and worked with some of the wealthiest men in history such as Andrew Carnegie and Henry Ford. His Laws of Success have stood the test of time and are still very valid today. If you take the time to read, study and apply those principles, I guarantee they will have a massive impact on your results and also the quality of your life.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Scientists have estimated that we have over 25,000 thoughts every day. The problem is that those 25,000 thoughts tend to be the exact same thoughts repeating themselves over and over again!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We develop patterns of behavior over time and our lives become very predictable. We sleep on the same side of the bed each night, we eat the same breakfast, brush our teeth in the same direction and have a shower washing the same body parts in the same order! We then drive to work on the same roads, talk to the same people and do the same work. We get home and watch the same television shows, have the same dinners and talk about the same topics.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We spend our entire working week counting down the days to the weekend. We then spend the weekend going out, drinking, socialising and complaining about how bad work is. Sunday night comes around quickly and we start getting depressed at the thought of going back to work again on Monday. This robot like routine repeats itself over and over again! Do you know that there are more heart attacks on a Monday morning at 9am than any other time in the week?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The sad fact is that 95% of people tend to bitch, whine and complain about their current situation without attempting to do anything to change it. They don’t realise that they are creating this miserable life by the way that they think!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Nothing changes if nothing changes!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">95% of people are stuck in a rut in their lives and a rut is only a few inches above a grave! To change our lives we must change our habits and to change our habits we must change our thoughts! New thoughts lead to new feelings which lead to new actions which lead to new results!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Thoughts -&gt; Feelings -&gt; Actions -&gt; Results</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We must learn to monitor our thoughts if we want to change our lives. How much time do you spend focusing on what you don’t want in life instead of focusing on what you do want?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Imagine yourself like a human transmission tower, transmitting a frequency with your thoughts. If you want to change anything in your life, change the frequency by changing your thoughts.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The key to success is to spend more time focusing on what we want in life. We need to stop complaining about our current circumstances and accept the fact that we have created everything through our thoughts. We must accept full responsibility for our current reality. If we play a victim we are powerless. If we accept the fact that we have created everything in our lives then we now become powerful. We now have the ability to change our lives. All it takes is a decision! To change our current situation we must change our thoughts and refocus our energy.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">If you type ‘Poverty’ into a Google search engine what comes up? Millions of topics about poverty! What happens if you type ‘Wealth’ into the same search engine? You get millions of pages about wealth!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>What are you typing into your search engine?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">If you are currently in debt and you keep getting bills in the mail then the first step is to stop complaining about the bills. Every time you complain about your level of debt you attract more debt into your life. This effect is compounded if you add extreme emotion to the situation. The frequency that you are emitting out to the universe is ‘Debt’! You need to start focusing on wealth and abundance if you want to get out of debt.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The same rule applies to people who continually protest against what they don’t want. They make up banners and posters, march down the street and start yelling “no more war, no more war’. They don’t realise that by doing this they are actually attracting more war into their lives! Whenever you add feeling and emotion to your thoughts the results are compounded one hundred fold. Instead of being anti war they must change their thoughts to being pro peace. Whether they are thinking ‘<span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>NO MORE WAR</strong></span>’ or ‘<span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>BRING ON THE WAR</strong></span>’ the vibration is<span style="color: #0000ff;"> <strong>EXACTLY</strong></span> the same and they will attract it into their lives.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Over the next few days start to monitor your thoughts.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Take note of how many times you focus on what you don’t want. Use your emotions as a guide. If you are feeling negative emotions then you must be focusing on something that you do not want. If you are feeling positive emotions then keep focusing on that!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">As soon as you feel yourself focusing on negative situations immediately shift your focus to what you do want. This will take some practice but the first step to changing your life starts with increasing your awareness.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">To Your Success!</span></p>
