Goal Setting Secrets of the Real Life Indiana Jones
Remember when you were 15? Can you recall some of the dreams you had then? How many have you accomplished?
My reflection on that is what attracted me so strongly to the story of John Goddard, of whom the LA Times called, “The real life Indiana Jones,” and one of his expeditions, “the most amazing adventure of this generation.
”
When he was 15, Goddard was inspired to create a list of 127 ?life goals? (he called it ?My Life List?). By his last count, the young seventy-something has accomplished 111 of these PLUS 400 others he set along the way!!
Here?s just a few of the ones he?s reached:
He?s climbed many of the world?s major peaks including the Matterhorn, Ararat, Kilimanjaro, Fiji, Rainier and the Grand Tetons.
He followed Marco Polo?s route through all of the Middle East, Asia and China.
He?s run a mile in five minutes, broad jumped 15 feet, high jumped five feet and performed 200 sit-ups and 20 pull-ups.
He was the first person to explore the 4200-mile length of the world’s longest river, the Nile. (It was the number one goal of the 15-year-old Goddard and the one the Times called ?the most amazing adventure of this generation.?). He has also been down the Amazon, Congo and others.
John has been to 122 countries, lived with 260 different tribal groups, explored the underwater reefs of Florida, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, the Red Sea, and more.
He has flown 40 different types of aircraft and still holds civilian air records; has read the Bible cover to cover and learned to speak French, Spanish and Arabic.
The last two on his original list included marrying and having children (he has six) and living to see the 21st Century, which he has done in style.
And I?m just getting started. But I think you get the point.
More than just one of the greatest adventurers the world has ever known, Goddard is an incredibly wise person, as this quote of his demonstrates: “If you really know what you want out of life, it’s amazing how opportunities will come to enable you to carry them out.”
How did John Goddard manage to live such an incredible life of achievement? Two simple, easily duplicatable ?secrets:? He chose BIG dreams and he WROTE THEM DOWN.
There?s no power at all in small dreams. When the dream isn?t big enough, it?s too easy to give in to the obstacles that appear in our life. It?s very difficult to maintain the persistence that all great achievement requires when the dream is small or ordinary.
Harland Sanders was 65-years-old, with little more than a $105 Social Security payment in his pocket, when he started Kentucky Fried Chicken. He is said to have been rejected by over 1,000 banks before he became successful. If he hadn?t had a big dream his self-esteem could never have withstood such rejection.
One of the biggest dreamers in the world is Mark Victor Hansen. Working with his partner, Jack Canfield, their idea was rejected by 140 book publishers as ?unsellable.? Today, their Chicken Soup series includes more than 70 titles that have sold more than 90 million copies in 39 languages. Mark says, ?The more goals you set - the more goals you get. Think big, act big and set out to accomplish big results. ?
Not only must your dreaming and goal setting be big, but it must be in writing. Brian Tracy says that this act alone increases your odds of success by 1000%! Like many people, I?d heard that I should write my goals down, but like most people, I rarely did. Looking at Brian?s formula another way, the failure to write your goals and dreams down means that you?ve got less than a 1-in-10 chance of succeeding. Can it be any wonder then that most people don?t live their dreams?
Who knows where your life can go after it is driven by life goals. You may find yourself landing on the moon someday, which happens to be one of the few original dreams that John Goddard hasn?t realized.
Whatever you dreams may be, when you’re doing your goal setting, make them BIG and WRITE THEM DOWN! Don?t be like the chap in this poem that Napoleon Hill included in the original edition of Think and Grow Rich:
“I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.
For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial?s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.”

Seducing with Hygiene
The world wide web is full of articles and stories on how to seduce women (and men). Often you would come across various products that will make women crazy about you, or vendors who would like to sell their books that repeat same things over and over again.
But are women (or men) that difficult? First impressions are the impressions that last a long time, sometimes, even a lifetime. However, first impressions have little to do with how you talk or how much bank balance you have. Rather, they are completely based on how you look, and more importantly, how you smell. You can’t change your looks, but you can groom them to be the most seductive person in the room!
Steps for Proper Hygiene
- Rise up early in the morning and breathe the fresh air.
- Brush your teeth, complete your toilet and before the sun rises go for a 10 minute jog.
- Bathe daily if possible or atleast take a shower.
- Oil your body every 2 to 3 days. Best way is to get a massage.
- Use soap every three days unless you get really dirty.
- Shave regularly. If you have a moustache or a beard, trim it every 4-5 days.
- Shave of your pubic hair and armpits every 5-10 days.
- Apply parfumes/deodrants on a regular basis to mask the smell of sweat.
And that is all you ever need to do to look groomed and good! After that, even if you are in torn jeans and dirty t-shirt, you will look appealing! Now lets take a look at the why these steps are important.
1. Rise up early in the morning and breathe fresh air.
After a good nights sleep the body is ready to secrete its unwanted juices. Fresh air will help you expand your lungs and get rid of the nagging bad breath that most people have. You must have noticed a plethora of boutiques selling oxygenated products for rejuvenating your skin. Guess what time of the day there is maximum oxygen in the air? Yup, it is the morning. Five minutes of heavy breathing early in the morning with render your skin pure and refresh you completely. Thereupon, you will feel fresh and energetic through out the day.
2. 10 minute jog
After completing the neccessary actions of every morning, which must be completed in the morning or you would have indigestion and bad breath to haunt you all day! You are now ready to go for a jog. The idea is not to tire yourself. Just to sweat a bit and expand your lungs. The more you sweat early morning, the more impurities are thrown out of your blood and skin. The result, no acnes or skin diseases, good breathing, continued energy throughout the day and most importantly, a red glow on your face that would last until late in the night!
3. Bathe/Shower daily
While the sweat has its advantages, it has its disadvantages too. Namely, it smells sweaty! (Mind you, if you follow this regime regularly your sweat won’t smell bad!) After your morning jog is the best time to take a hot/cold shower, or if you have time, a nice hot bath. Because the pores of your skin have been opened thanks to the sweat and early morning air, even water would wash your skin beautifully!
4. Get a massage every 2-3 days.
No body likes a dry skin, or for that matter oily skin. But believe it or not, the best way of making your skin like a 2 year old baby is regular massages with oil. Not with those fancy creams! Use a light oil like olive oil, or a parfumed oil. Just make sure that whatever product you use in completely natural. Then give yourself a good long massage, allowing the oil to penentrate your skin. The result? Soft and silky skin, a lingering parfume coming from inside your body that is a huge turn on for both men and women. And additionaly, a radiant glow of a wel exercised skin.
5. Use soap twice or thrice a week
If you follow the regime you won’t need to use soap more often, unless you get really dirty. Soap leads to dry skin. Additionaly, it leaves a ligering odeur. This odeur, inspite of all the advertising, is not your natural odeur. The correct time of using the soap is in the evening when you have no date. Ofcourse soap has loads of benefits too(disinfectan and cleansing), therefore you should never go too long without it.
6. Shave/trim regularly
How regularly depends upon what look suits you. Still you should shave atleast once every 2-3 days if not daily. And don’t forget a nice after shave to go along with it. A good shave in the morning will get you up and running like nothing else!
7. Shaving your pubic hair/armpits.
The armpits question is quite clear. Hair in your armpits are probably the most unhygienic part of your body. The sweat, instead of flowing, rests in these hair and can lead to infection. Most certainly, it would lead to bad smell. So unless you like smelling like a rotten egg, shave the buggers! But how does shaving your pubic hair effect you? One, your genitals would look bigger and better without a huge dread lock of hair. Specially for men. Women may choose to trim their pubic hair instead of shaving them, depending upon how they like it. Two, just like the armits, your groin sweats a lot. Thus leading to bad smell unless your pubic is trimmed/shaved. Three, it has a moral boosting effect. Just try it and you will see!
8. Using Perfumes
Your body, by now, would be emitting sensual waves to anyone who comes in close contact with you. Then why the perfumes? Quite simply because they smell good and give you a personality. You must take good care while choosing a perfume. It should go with your natural odeur, and yet be distinctive. Perfumes are a personality trademark! However, use it in little quantities. Just enough so that a person coming in close contact with you gets a whiff. Mixed with your natural smell it can be quite a turn on!.
