Dear Friend,

Bondage.

Even worse because many people don’t even realize they’re
in its grasps.

It robs our joy.

It steals our passion.

It makes us feel small for no reason.

No reason at all.

We must correct this injustice.

“Mike, let’s take this further.”

You got it amigo.

It’s like an invisible thread that holds our spirit hostage.

I call it a ‘Bondage Belief’.

Let’s get going.

For many people, somewhere in their past, they attached
their SELF worth to their net worth.

They attached their financial situation to the VALUE they
gave themselves.

So then this happened:

Not reaching your financial goals yet = Self punishment

Over the years you might have added in self blame, self
hate, and more.

You ‘forgot’ that your SELF VALUE has nothing to do with
‘doing anything’.

You might have been looking for approval from a parent or
friend years ago and this ‘Bondage Belief’ started taking
hold.

You were searching for love, acceptance and this chain
started to grab hold of you.

Now, it might have your joy in its shackles.

Isn’t it time you bring this ‘Bondage Belief’ to the
surface and release it?

Are you ready to start releasing the ‘Bondage Beliefs’ that
have held you hostage for 10-40 years?

Are you ready to start releasing negative generational
thought patterns that are holding back the GREATEST you?

Write this down or read it twice.

“Money is what I earn, not who I AM.”

Yes, money is important in society. It’s what we get from
serving and helping others.

Though, in my opinion, your joy, peace of mind, and
happiness supercede everything.

When you’re in a state of joy, all types of riches will
flow your way.

Financial, emotional, in health, and more.

You’re more than your paycheck.

Whether it’s $100 a month or $100k a week.

Get excited again about your future.

Start bringing 1 or 2 ‘Bondage Beliefs’ to your awareness
and start releasing them.

There’s a WINNER, an ALL STAR, inside of you.

Let’s get rid of some of your past ‘junk’, the negative
generational thought patterns that have been holding you
back.

Remember:

“Money is what I earn, not who I AM.”

Your SELF worth is not tied up in your net worth.

Let this ‘Bondage Belief’ go. Now.

Let’s correct this injustice.

You were born for a great purpose.

There are people who need to see your smile today, they’re
starving for connection today. They need you.

Be the reward you were born to be. Ready?

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael

Many people have misplaced and will forget to open their
most priceless gift this holiday season.

“Mike, what do you mean?”

Shopping. Parties, Yes, it’s that season.

Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa. Millions of people around the
world will celebrate these occasions.

They’ve spent hours in the mall buying gifts for others.

They’ll spent time opening up the gifts they receive.

Yes, you might receive great clothes, the latest
technology, video games, stuff for the house and more.

You’ll open the gifts. Some you’ll put away, some you’ll
use often.

Though none of them will bring you close to the joy the
‘forgotten gift’ will give you.

The ‘forgotten gift’ isn’t wrapped so many of us forget to
see it.

This gift we didn’t ‘pay for’, so many people don’t put the
right value on it.

Many people have tried to rip this gift away from us over
the years, so many people are scared to even open it today.

They’re scared of their most priceless gift.

They don’t believe their even worthy of opening it.

Millions are. What an injustice. What an injustice.

The greatest gift we can open this year is OURSELVES.

“Mike, what?”

Yes, OURSELVES.

This is the greatest gift we can give our family, our
friends, and ourselves.

It’s the greatest gift.

This gift doesn’t last 1 day, it’s last a whole year. What
a poweful gift.

Which of these gifts that YOU have right now will you open
this holiday season?

The gift called strength.

The gift called courage.

The gift called service.

The gift called fearlessness.

The gift called value.

The gift called self love.

The gift called service.

The gift called listening.

The gift called vision.

The gift called purpose.

The gift called belief.

The gift called education.

The gift called friendship.

The gift called desire.

The gift called forgiveness.

The gift called faith.

The gift called peace of mind.

The gift called smiling.

The gift called profit.

The gift called you.

These gifts grow each year. They multiply each year. The
more we unwrap them, the greater the present.

Remember, we’re transformed and grow one step at a time.
Our gift grows daily, monthly, yearly.

Yes, during this holiday season you’ll give many gifts you
purchased to others.

Yet, the greatest gift you could give to many of these
people is the GREATEST YOU.

And when they see the best you, something will trigger in
them to start unwrapping their own personal gifts.

BE the gift you want to receive daily.

Don’t let fear stop you from sharing your gifts.

Choose fearlessness. Choose faith. Choose the best you.

Your, yes YOUR, best days are ahead of you. They are
smiling wide because they can’t wait to SEE you too.

Open your greatest gift today. Your talents, abilities, and
strengths.

Yes, others have tried to distract you and distance
yourself from them.

Not anymore. Today your greatest gift begs to be opened.

Have a great holiday season!

Love ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael

P.S. Two charities I’m involved with and would love your
support.

The Make A Wish Foundation:

The Caring House Project -

Anger. Hostility. Blame. Distortion.

“Mike, I don’t get it, can you explain?”

Absolutely amigo, let’s go.

Some people have been hurt.

Some people have been emotionally wounded.

Some people have lost a sense of trust.

Some people haven’t gotten what they truly need.

Everyone, you, me, has been influenced by our past.

We have been.

Both good and not so good.

We know this.

Let me share with you an idea that too many people are
grasping onto.

Too many people are bringing the pain of a past
relationship or past wound to the present day.

It has distorted WHO they can be today.

It has drained their power and their energy today.

It’s holding hostage their true greatness and natural
gifts.

Maybe you’re bringing a past pain from your parents to
today.

Maybe you’re bringing past pain from an old relationship.

Maybe you were hurt by a friend and now you have trouble
trusting others.

We know this, though I have to say it anyway.

When we bring our past wounds to today, WE get hurt, NOT
the person who hurt us.

We lose our power.

We lose the moment.

If you’re reading this right now, you can use this moment
to change your life.

You can tap into the POWER OF FORGIVENESS.

You can make a decision, right now, to drop 10-20 pounds or
more of mental weight.

Mental baggage.

Forgive your Mom. Forgive your Dad. Forgive your brother.
Forgive your sister.

Forgive your friend or whoever hurt you.

Stop hurting yourself. You have other’s waiting for your
gifts. They need you to drop the past wounds and focus on
developing your talents.

Yes, it isn’t always easy. Though, we should LOVE OURSELVES
enough to let go and go forward.

Many people would be amazed if they truly saw how much ‘old
stuff’ they’re holding onto.

Socrates said, “The unexamined life isn’t worth living.”

What can you let go of?

How can you step into your God given gifts, talents, and
power?

Personally, I think the world desperately needs men and
women of STRENGTH.

Strong, courageous, and fearless individuals who are ready
to unleash their greatness.

How about tapping into the power of forgiveness
today. Give it a try.

There are new levels of power, education, and profit that
want to enter your life right now. First though you need to
make ‘mental’ room for it.

I believe in you. You and I know your best days are ahead
of you.

True or very true?

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael
