Bigger than Myself

At times in life, we have all had thoughts of grandeur and what life would be like with no world problems, no famine, no wars and of course to have a total abundance of worldly pleasures. Anyone who does not agree with this has obviously forgotten their childhood.

So what stops us from dreaming, and striving toward a better future, after all, if it starts with a thought and a choice why do we stop? Some of us when we are so close to succeeding in what it is we set out to achieve. Could it be that it has something to do with it ‘not being normal’ or that it does not conform to what society thinks is right? Who says society has it right? It would be safe to say that society is really the masses not so? That being the case, the masses make up the have nots in life, therefore it does not make sense to listen to society. You are not going to be able to please all people all of the time, so as long as you are staying true to yourself and your outcome, you cannot lose. Just a little something to think about.

Now bigger than myself, there is one sure way to ensure the flow of abundance to you, and that is by giving to others, to causes ‘bigger than yourself’ not everyone will get that theory, again that is not my issue and it is certainly not my intention to convince you of the logic or reasoning behind it. I have donated to charities for some time, NZ Red Cross, Bernado’s, World Vision and other worthwhile causes like Surf Lifesaving. Every year around this time of year there are two very big charities that raise funds for their cause. They are breast cancer awareness and prostate cancer. Both of these resonate with me as I have experienced what Breast Cancer can do to a family, and as for prostate cancer, it could easily happen to me.

I have registered to raise money for mens health for the month of 'Movember'

During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I'm growing a Mo. That's right I'm bringing the Mo back because I'm passionate about tackling men's health issues and being proactive in the fight against men's depression and prostate cancer.

To donate to my Mo you can either:

1. Click this link here and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account, or
2. Write a cheque payable to ‘Movember Foundation', referencing my Registration Number 1911686 and mailing it to:

Movember Foundation
PO Box 292
Prahran VIC 3181

Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible.

The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men's health issues and donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative. The PCFA and beyondblue will use the funds to fund research and increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer and depression.

Did you know:

• Depression affects 1 in 6 men....most don't seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide.
• Last year in Australia 18,700 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 2,900 died of prostate cancer - equivalent to the number of women who will die from breast cancer annually.

For those that have supported Movember in previous years you can be very proud of the impact it has had and can check out the details at: [ Fundraising Outcomes ].

Movember culminates at the end of month Gala Partés. If you would like to be part of this great night you'll need to purchase a [ Gala Parté Ticket ].

Thanks for your support Andrew.

Movember is proudly grown by Holden and Schick.

It is also that time of the month where we change the book of the month, this month I would like to go with a book that really is one of the first and best known personal development books, it is 'Think and Grow Rich' by Nepoleon Hill. The study that was commissioned to effectively publish this book was done so by Andrew Carneigie, US Steal Magnate of the eary 20th Century. This book has a great hidden message that will come out only when you are ready to hear it, it is a great book to read, and re-read yearly.

It served me well in its first reading and continues to do so today.
