Six degrees

Let's check out the this theory of Six Degrees of Separation!

If anyone knows anyone who knows Madonna, please let me know. I'd like to get her permission to use one of her songs as a theme song. The one that begins Deeper and Deeper and Sweeter and Sweeter, just screams HYPNOSIS to me, and with a few minor changes it is all about Falling in Trance....

I can't keep from falling in trance with you,
You know there's nothing better than I'd like to do...!

Verbal Impact 2

Positive funny quote for today: "The two most beautiful words in the English language are check enclosed." Dorothy Parker

I can't take credit for this, I received it in a newsletter from PositiveChristianity.org.

Happiness

You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. - Dale Carnegie

This is about the power of words, in other words, verbal impact!

Can optimism affect your health?

I found a great quotation!



Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope or confidence. - Helen Keller



And in Learned Optimism by Bernard Seligman, he mentions that optimism leads to better health, which leads to longer life. It seems that the immune system is strengthened by positive thoughts and weakened by negative thoughts. This agrees with another book, You can't Afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought by John Roger.

Humor

Because they had no reservations at a busy restaurant, my elderly neighbor and his wife were told there would be a 45-minute wait for a table.” Young man, we're both 90 years old,” the husband said, “We may not have 45 minutes.” They were seated immediately.


I just came across this joke. I wonder if there is some way I can work it into my Hypnotic Fountain of Youth workshop?
