Tony Michalski's Master Key Coaching

I hope that you enjoy loving family, good friends, and delicious food on this Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you for being a part of Kallisti Publishing. Whether you downloaded The Master Key System or participate in the Master Key Coaching Teleseminars or you bought a book (or two) or you read the articles at Master Key Coaching …

Thank you!

I hope that you have a most wonderful and splendid Thanksgiving filled with family, friends, and good food!

In our study of Haanel and his philosophy of success, the word “gratitude” gets bandied about quite a bit. Whether we practice it or not is another story.

For one day, though, we have the opportunity to take the time to truly count our blessings, be they big or small.

On my refrigerator, my mother kept a little card with a poem on it. Perhaps it’s a prayer. You decide. I’d like to share it with you. It is entitled “I Asked” and the author is unknown.

I Asked

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.

I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked for health, that I might do greater things.

I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.

I asked for riches, that I might be happy.

I was given poverty, that I might be wise.

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.

I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.

I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I had hoped for.

Almost despite myself, my unspoken players were answered.

I am among all men, most richly blessed.

I and Kallisti Publishing wish you and yours the best ofeverything and the richest of blessings on this Thanksgiving!

Have fun … Tony.

It’s been a while since I posted an article. I apologise for my absence. I’ve been busy with quite a few things.

As you know, we’ve been having weekly Master Key Coaching Teleseminars. We made it to Week Fourteen and are well on our way to completing our study of Haanel’s most famous and awesomely inspiring work.

I’ve also been readying a few new and great books for release. One is entitled I Believe, Therefore I Am. It’s an amazing book and I know that you are going to love it.

As I was surfing the ‘Net, I stumbled upon this quote. When I read it, I immediately thought about Haanel, The Master Key System, and what we’ve been discussing on the Master Key Coaching Teleseminars.

The author of the snippet is Ayn Rand, philosopher and author of such works as The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. Love her or hate her, one must admit that she made an impact on the world. Also, whether you love her or hate her, I think you will get a lot from the following quote from her.

“Productive work” does not mean the unfocused performance of the motions of some job. It means the consciously chosen pursuit of a productive career, in any line of rational endeavor, great or modest, on any level of ability. It is not the degree of a man’s ability nor the scale of his work that is ethically relevant here, but the fullest and most purposeful use of his mind.

Charles F. Haanel also had quite a bit to say about productive work. If you’ve been listening to the Master Key Coaching Teleseminars, then you know that. Peruse this excerpt from The Master Key System, for example.

8. The financier gets much because he gives much; he thinks; he is seldom a man that lets any one else do his thinking for him; he wants to know how results are to be secured; you must show him; when you can do this he will furnish the means by which hundreds or thousands may profit; and in proportion as they are successful will he be successful. Morgan, Rockefeller, Carnegie, and others did not get rich because they lost money for other people. On the contrary, it is because they made money for other people that they became the wealthiest men in the wealthiest country on the globe.

9. The average person is entirely innocent of any deep thinking; he accepts the ideas of others and repeats them in very much the same way as a parrot; this is readily seen when we understand the method which is used to form public opinion and this docile attitude on the part of a large majority, who seem perfectly willing to let a few persons do all their thinking for them, is what enables a few men in a great many countries to usurp all the avenues of power and hold the millions in subjection. Creative thinking requires attention.

Of course, this isn’t all that Haanel wrote on the subject. The Master Key System is full of points like this.

Take the time to review them.

Take the time to choose your goal.

Commit yourself to achieving it.

Focus all of your thoughts and all of your energy to accomplishing what you set to do.

You can begin right now. Make the choice to do so.
