Your LIFE - Where Are YOU Heading? - Introducing… “The Power of Choice”

Hi,

I was wanting to introduce this after my post on Immortality, which you can read here: http://motivationselfesteem.com/talk/766/immortality.htm but a couple of things intervened, so I have had to delay it. Until now…

I think about these things a lot. Hence, much of my work here is focussed on helping others, like YOU, to become the very best that you can be while you still have the GIFT OF LIFE. And it is a gift. Your life or the lives of your friends or loved ones can be taken from you in an INSTANT in any one of a thousand ways. None of us are going to live much past 70 or 80 years, unless some massive breakthrough is made in medical science. Therefore, our time on this planet is so very short.

My question to YOU is this - are you using your GIFT wisely or are you doing what so many do, are you wasting it?

Are you using your God-given talents or are you afraid to for fear of ridicule or abuse or failure? Is your life a magnificent obsession or are you simply wanting to tip-toe through to the other side hoping not to be noticed by anybody?

When my wonderful friend Marina Gillett died unexpectedly at age 40 my life was thrown into turmoil for the second time because of the loss of somebody close to me who died far too young. I kept asking myself over and over again, how could somebody so beautiful and so wonderful and so incredibly talented and so loving be taken from her family and friends at such a young age? WHY? Marina died in her sleep of an undiagnosed and very rare heart condition.

Marina and I shared a special bond in that we were so alike in the things that we held precious and important. She had so much more to give but she was never given the chance. Her life was cut far too short. I won’t go on too much here but this lady was a very special person to me and I miss her deeply.

This started me thinking about life in general and the legacies that we leave behind.

What can I, and indeed others, do to make our marks in this world and be remembered for something good? Far too many people are remembered for bad deeds and heinous crimes but there really is overwhelming good in this world. [For isntance, there are many wonderful people who visit this blog of mine and I am very proud to have met them and been given the opportunity to interact with them.]

I kept thinking about this whole mortality/immortality issue and one day, in 2003, I was inspired to write a short story called, “The Power of Choice.” Here is the cover.

The Power of Choice - Gary Simpson

I believe it to be my very best piece of written expression (to date). I also believe that I had a power working through me when I penned this story. I am not religious but I have deep spiritual beliefs. So let me tell you just a little bit about it and how it came to be…

I have to say that when I wrote “The Power of Choice” it almost wrote itself. I often think that something divine coursed through me that day. I had no idea where the story was coming from. The words just assembled in my head and virtually demanded to be written. Within a couple of hours it was done, virtually as you will see it when you click on the link below. This story just kept coming and coming. And when I finished writing it (by hand) I was mentally exhausted. I put it down for a few hours and rested before I came back to read it. And when I did, I wondered, “WOW! Did I just write that?” I couldn’t believe it. I still can’t!

Yes, I know I can write. I have a talent for it and I have worked very hard to polish this talent for many, many years. But plain writing and story-telling are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT things. The Power of Choice is story-telling.

Over the years, this story has been downloaded hundreds and hundreds of times into over 40 countries. I stopped counting years ago. I have had dozens and dozens of wonderful emails telling me how what I have written has transformed lives. Can you believe that? Me! I have had a hand in doing that. Wow (again)!

So many people have emailed me telling me all sorts of very personal reactions they had after reading it. Some quotes are included in the e-book but I have so many more. In fact, they would almost fill an e-book themselves (or double the size of PoC). Most people have told me that they have cried their eyes out. Anyway…

… I would like to offer it to YOU. There is no opt-in or any messing around here. I think it is just too important. I simply want to get the message to you. It only takes about 15 minutes to read. It is very moving and you may want to print it out and read it in private. I also believe that if you take this story into your heart you will never look back.

For any students of the Alex Jeffreys Internet Marketing Course who are wavering, not sure whether they will push on and take ACTION or slip back into inertia and do nothing (or just keep looking for that elusive “Holy Grail” of success) then I URGE you to read the “Power of Choice.”

Just below is the direct download - my very precious gift to YOU…

I give you THE POWER OF CHOICE - http://www.motivationselfesteem.com/power.pdf

PS: I would be most interested in your comments after you read it. Thank you.
