In fact, I just found a local company that will make me custom built, by hand, top-of-the-line leather shoes, and get this, for about 2% of what I pay for my favorite brand, Mephisto's. In fact, they can give me an even better version of the shoes I have, and custom fit. Imagine if I just assumed I couldn't get what I wanted, or imagine if I was not open to another solution. This is another real life example of this in practice. So, get out there and investigate those new shoes. And guess what, you're doing nicely as my student. :-) I'm honored. Check your email, I've asked Kim to send you something. There is no time like the present to investigate those new shoes you’ve been wanting.

Don't know what I'll find in Central America though. :-) I’ve never heard of that technique but thank you for bringing it up here. I’ll look into it.

David Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:16:42 +0000 http://blog.maxpersuasion.com/?p=416#comment-427 I have extreme ups and downs in my life. Combat Medic in Viet Nam, Broken Marriage, seeking companionship then finding the REAL love of my life. I was with her when she passed into eternity, despite our best efforts -- July 2, last year. She left a tiny stipend for me, as I assisted her and her business for over 3 years (she was not incapacitated!). Looking back on my subsequent mistake, I got into a HYIP, making $1,200 a week. I was giving away more money to people in need, than I was taking in, almost! February 2010 came, and without warning the HYIP program folded. I lost $16,750 in one night. I had no recourse, as I found out they were in Indonesia. Now I am in another nadir, and ever-hopeful that my next upswing is coming and shortly. It's time to succeed like never before; my memories demand that I succeed. Thanks to Kenrick for keeping my hope alive. The dreams live on! I have extreme ups and downs in my life.

Looking back, one of the best things I ever did was decide, in my 20s, that I was going to have a happy life. Each decade since then has been better than the one before. This decision means that when a situation mixes positive and negative (as so many do), I choose to dwell on the positive. I had a friend who took up yoga and became a vegetarian at age 70. She lived her last eight years or so in greater harmony with her vision for herself. When I met her, she was 75 and a force to be reckoned with. Turning from metaphorical to literal: Kenrick, I have wide feet and also have a tough time finding shoes. But I've been working with a highly skilled Alexander Technique practitioner for a few years, and it's made an enormous difference to my posture, comfort, ease of movement, etc. The good news, Cliff, is that it’s never too late to find that metaphorical perfect pair of shoes.

Short well written example today....and I would love to add ...the shorter one's story - and contextually relevant to the situation - the more powerful it is as a persuasion tool because ultimately the person listening is tuned to WIFM radio.
