Wisdom is worth the wrinkles!
Today is my Birthday! As I answered the phone calls of people who know and love me anyway, I felt deeply loved. One of my friends asked me, "Do you miss being in your 20s?" My response was - NOT A CHANCE! The only word that could describe my twenties is - STUPID! My thirties were a little better, I had run out of emotional steam and was forced to learn new coping skills. This was when I was introduced to the concept of the personalities - what a difference a little information can make! By the time my forties rolled around, I had a firm emotional foundation under my feet. Now, real character building could start, and it did.
 Now that I am in my fifties, I wouldn't trade one wrinkle for the wisdom I have acquired over my years. (hard won wisdom I might add) In our culture that is obsessed with skinny beauty, where doesn't seem to be any place for a slightly aged, some what padded, middle aged women until...a crisis takes place! Oh, how quickly our worth rises in value!
We can still comfort a friend, lend a hand, dream of new ideas for tomorrow, or be an influence on the next generations. A positive attitude can override the ravages of age, so think higher, dream bigger and go for it - we've got nothing better to do with our lives than to make a difference!
Blessings,
Kathryn

| Today's Prayer |
Today's Prayer
Dear Father in Heaven, This day I lift up families to you. There are so many distractions in life. People get sidetracked by their own desires, the quest for more, what others think, trying to 'climb the ladder' of success, activities and more activities, working too hard, illness, challenges and problems, and so on. We often become consumed with all of that and distracted from all that is most important. God, I pray that every person spending this time with you right now will see the need to make time for family, to acknowledge and show love for their loved ones, to prioritize their lives and obligations, to focus on what would Jesus do. May we not become districted by everything else. May we put you first, our families next, and everyone and everything else after. Please guide us, give us wisdom, and encourage us this day and in the days ahead. In Jesus' name we come to you and thank you, amen. |

| Q & A |
As opportunities come our way, we may have questions like, "How do I incorporate the personality information into my materials." or, "Is there any research on _________?"
In this section of the e-newsletter I will post your questions and answers. I would like to post you insights and comments also, sent them into me at info@personalityprinciples.com.
================================
Question:
"Do you have anything specifically on how personalities determine your spending habits?" -Jaclyn Rowe
Answer:
Here are some "generalities." I hate being this general, but there isn't much in the way of hard cold research on this subject. Keep in mind teen spending is different than adult spending. You, may need to make some adjustments
if you choose to incorporate this information into your talks.
Playful Sanguine - IMPULSE spender, see it - buy it. On a whole they are not good at keeping track of checkbook balances, or debts owed. This doesn't mean they can't do it, they just don't like doing it. It is always a surprise to Playfuls when they find themselves over drawn at the bank or run out of cash. They have no idea how that happened, because they were trying to be so "careful this time!"
They love to buy things for other people, sometimes the other people even like what they buy. =0) They are good with color, so home decorating and clothing are big expenditures for them - fun too. They will even help you spend your money! Many Playfuls do some kind of shopping everyday, be it groceries, clothing, household goods or gifts. It is not uncommon for Playfuls to find money stuffed away in the pockets of seasonal clothing. They should always check the pockets of any piece of clothing before
Powerful Choleric - CHEAP and proud of it! If you complement them on something (it doesn't matter what) they will tell you what they paid for it, because they NEVER pay retail. It's all about the bargain! They will almost always, tell you how to spend your money, because they know best! "Best" being how they did it. They can part with large amounts of cash without loosing sleep over it. They normally have a plan and follow it. They may be tempted to impulse shop, but usually change their mind before committing to the purchase if it doesn't line up with their plan. If they do run across an impulse "deal" that they can't pass up, they will justify it by informing everyone that it was a "need" not a "want." Typically, Powerfuls don't purchase art work, unless it's an investment. They do spend plenty of money and time on sports and sport related activities.
Peaceful Phlegmatic - COMFORT is where Peacefuls tend to spend their money, be it food (cooking or eating out), or furniture. They are not shoppers by nature - that would require expending energy and making decisions - both of these issues are not their strong point. Change is also something they don't care much for, so getting new things to replace the old is not a top priority for them. Chances are they have many "creature comforts" and gadgets. If it doesn't come with a remote control, they probably won't buy it. Many Peaceful are some what on the techie side, so computers and game systems are the purchase of choice, which goes well with their over stuffed lounge chair. =0) Price is not always a priority - if it's easier to pay full price, so be it. They also tend to be last minute shoppers, which means they haven't put a lot of "think" time into the purchase.
Proper Melancholic - QUALITY is the focus for almost all their decisions, which extends to money expenditures. Brand names are important, because they feel band name products are better quality. Also, peer pressure plays a huge part in what Propers purchase, they don't want to be out of step with the latest styles. They will pay full price for items, because "On Sale" might lend itself to the thought, "If it's on sale that must mean no one liked it, so why would I want it." Propers are not impulse spenders - they research and plan their expenditures. Even if they find something that catches their eye, they will wait and think about it before purchasing it. Because Propers are very private, they don't want every one's opinions about that they plan to do, seeing they are good at doing research they might not trust the opinions of others. It is not uncommon for Propers to purchase things, even large ticket items like a car or furniture and not tell anyone about it for a long time or until you notice.

APT Praise
Thanks for your seminar. It came just in time for my speaking ministry going to the next level. I scheduled three more personality engagements this year and five more for next year. It seems like things are falling into line at just the right time. I guess you could say I took a leap of faith and what I hoped for is becoming a reality. Praise God for His faithfulness.

"I have attended the Personality Trainer's Workshop 4 times in the USA. Whilst it was quite an investment to travel all the way from New Zealand, this has been absolutely beneficial to the building of my business.
The Advanced Personality Workshop that I attended in 2006, covered so much more for anyone wanting to build their business/ministries. It put me in touch with other trainers doing the same things.The sessions are insightful, and give time to network. The discussions around human behavior I had with other trainers was wonderful. There's no doubt that one receives value for their investment!"

As I have said earlier, I want to introduce you to some of the people and programs I have had the privilege to encounter over the past few years. Some of these programs will not apply to you now, but you never know when the time will be right. I feel it's better to be exposed to new ideas and programs long before you need them, so when the time is right, you're not making a mad dash to find them -- you'll know where to look.
How to Transform Pain into Pleasure Through the Law of Attraction
By Jill Koenig
Author, Coach, Motivational Speaker
This week I feature a question submitted by a GoalGuru reader.
Question: What is the difference between the Law of Attraction and Goal Setting?
Answer: There is not so much a difference as the two principles work hand in hand.
In fact, Goal Setting is the first step in activating the Law of Attraction. In order to empower the Law of Attraction, you must take the first action, which is to decide with positive intention, exactly what you want in clear, concise detail.
This step, this action, within the Law of AttrACTION is the ignitor that activates the process. When I ask people what they want, most respond with a list of all the things they DON'T want. The average person invests more energy and thought on what they DON'T want than what they DO want. And that is what they attract. More of what they DON'T want.
Most people focus their thoughts and energies on their fears rather then focusing on gratitude for what and whom has alreadyblessed them, and their heart's deepest desires.
So what's wrong with that?
The Law of Attraction mandates that you become what you think about. The more you dwell upon what you don't want, the more you are empowering the negative emotions.
Let me clarify how focusing on what you DON'T want works against you within the Law of Attraction.
Where focus goes, energy flows.
Let me say that again, it is worth repeating.
Where focus goes, energy flows.
When you are focusing all of your thoughts and attention on the things you fear, that is what you will manifest, create, and attract more of.
You have a choice.
You can focus on the problem or you can focus on the solutions. When you focus all of your thoughts and attention on your problems or blame others, that is what you will manifest and attract more of. You are actually actively creating more of what you DON'T want.
You cannot manifest joy and create your highest destiny when your thoughts and actions are consumed with fear, anxiety, problems, complaints, blame, worries and all of the other negatives that present themselves to you during a given day.
You always have a choice how and where to direct your thoughts and energy.
If your dominant emotions are fear, anger, resentment, worry and blame, that is what you will attract more of. When you are experiencing those negative emotions, you stop giving. You no longer breathe life into your dreams. When in those states, you are not making positive, joyful contributions to your dreams. Those negative thoughts and emotions actually repel what you desire. Negative emotions suck the life out of your Goals.
To combat those negatives, and instantly transform pain into pleasure, the solution is to choose the positive.
Focus on the solutions. Focus on what you can joyfully do to create positive changes.
The surest way out of any rut is to accept complete responsibility for your circumstances and joyfully identify the positive changes you can make within yourself. Then take action. When you can joyfully, freely choose to make positive contributions, everything around you will change.
If you want to experience more abundance, express more gratitude. Give abundantly.
If you want to experience more love, give more love.
If you want more intimacy, give it, create it, nurture it.
Get grateful for all that you have.
Focus on how blessed you are.
Remember that you have responsibilities within the Law of Attraction.
There are actions you must consistently take. If focus goes where energy flows, then focus more on your Goals than you do on your problems. Focus more on your Goals than you do on your fears.
Focus on what you DO want.
Focus on what and whom you are grateful for.
Focus on your most cherished, beautiful, treasured deepest desires. Focus on the positive. You become what you think about. Focus on the Goal. What beautiful, worthy Goal do you want to ignite by expressing more gratitude? What vision or dream do you have that you can inject with positive, loving thoughts and actions? What area of your life would you like to inject with a burst of positive energy? Give it your all and watch it manifest. The best way to predict the future is to create it.
