I Am Alive and Well

I spent Friday in the recording studio reading my forthcoming book "Buying Trances". I came home exhausted but eager to review my email and work on a new project or two.

But my computer refused to let me in.

It didn't recognize me.

I took it as a sign to take the day off.

But the computer won't work today either.

My tech genius came out and declared Windows corrupted my user identity. It will need major surgery to fix. He left with my baby. I'm typing this on my Blackberry.

What's happening here?

Last weekend's Zero Limits event turned me inside out. I've been processing it all week. Apparently I still am.

Even my computer doesn't recognize the new me.

What is Mary Pickford's Long Lost Secret?

See that breathtaking picture?

At one point that was going to be our new living room.

That's a shot inside Pickfair, the mansion once owned by the founding father and mother of Hollywood.


The gold framed picture is a signed photo of forgotten silent film star Mary Pickford. It's in my private collection.



The smiling picture is also of Mary Pickford, taken in 1929.




This other picture is of a rare old Chinese made cigar humidor once owned by Mary. I won it in the recent Pickford estate auction. It arrived today.

Why do I sometimes collect Mary Pickford items?

At one point I thought I was going to write a book about Mary and her lost business secrets, much as I've done for circus showman P.T. Barnum in There's a Customer Born Every Minute and BBDO ad genius Bruce Barton in The Seven Lost Secrets of Success.

I may yet do it, too.

Mary Pickford was America's Sweetheart, capturing the imagination of the public as "Little Mary," the teenager with spunk, in countless silent films in the early 1900s. She was charming, big eyed and perky.

She married famous swashbuckler Douglas Fairbanks, and with slapstick king Charlie Chaplin and director D.W. Griffith, they formed United Artists. It was the first movie production company run by people who acted and directed. Mary and her team were the founders of Hollywood.

Pickford and Fairbanks were a world famous couple and the closest thing to royalty that era had ever seen.

Their famous estate in Beverly Hills, called Pickfair, went on the market a few years ago and I almost bought it.

Today, Pickfair stands as a majestic Venetian mansion with high ceilings, ballroom size living room, formal dinning room, master bedroom suite and three family bedroom suites, sweeping balconies, indoor spa and Jacuzzi with dome glass ceiling, massage room, hair salon, gym, disco, state-of-the-art 35mm theater, guest quarters featuring a three bedroom apartment, security guard offices and subterranean parking for additional 15 vehicles.

The original swimming pool remains as the showpiece of this 2.7 acres site that overlooks the magnificent views of Beverly Hills, the Pacific Ocean, Santa Monica Mountains, and the skylines of Century City and Los Angeles.

Just walking room to room in Mary's old castle would be a workout.

I'll settle for her humidor today.

But someone really needs to write about her as a strong business woman.

Mary died sad, lonely, alcoholic and virtually forgotten.

Yet her business genius helped create an empire. We can learn from that. And her.

Too many greats like Mary Pickford fall through the cracks of history, and we miss out on their insights and secrets to business success.

"You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down." - Mary Pickford (1892 - 1979)

Way Beyond Zero Limits!

I'm wiped from the weekend into bliss.

It was the world's first Zero Limits event with Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len and myself talking about cleansing the unconscious memories we all share so we can receive Inspiration.

The entire event went way beyond even the forthcoming book, Zero Limits.

I'm at a loss at how to explain the weekend.

For one thing, putting words to it will limit it.

For another, it was entirely experiential.

People who have been around the block in terms of personal growth, self-improvement, and spiritual work, found the weekend to be the deepest work they had ever experienced.

One man released bottled up rage. Of course, the way Zero Limits work, is that as he releases it, so do the rest of us. Little pockets of volcanoes went off in the room as he shared how he used the tools Dr. Hew Len taught us to cleanse his own being.

Again, the event went beyond all understanding.

The good news for you is that we filmed and recorded the entire seminar. When the audios and DVDs are available, I'll let you know.

If you want to know when the next Zero Limits event will be -- and there's no guarantee there will ever be one again, as Dr. Hew Len is up in age and (as he says) would rather sit at home and grow old -- send a blank email to zero@aweber.com

Ao Akua,

Joe

PS -- Everyone who attended the event received an advance rough copy of the next Subliminal Manifestation DVD created by Mark Ryan and myself. This one focuses on sales. The first one is on love and forgiveness. Both are based in the teachings of Dr. Hew Len and Zero Limits. We sure live in exciting times.

Going to Zero

I'm headed out the door to co-lead the world's first Zero Limits seminar with Dr. Hew Len.

The event sold out without me ever mentioning it to my list. It'll be standing room only this cold weekend.

We'll record the entire historic event, of course, and make the audios and DVDs available later.

Meanwhile, you might want to check out the new "Zero Limits" inspired clothing over at www.cafepress.com/drjoevitale/

Just go there, click on the "Zero Limits" image, and you'll see a wide variety of products, from T-shirts to mouse pads to even a throw pillow.

These are products that help "cleanse" you as you wear them or have them near you.

Imagine putting your head on a pillow that cleanses your mind as you rest.

The clothing, pad and pillow are energetically charged; you should feel it even as you review the items.

More than that, the image on the shirt and pad, etc., contain the "magic phrases" that help you release everything between you and what you want.

Sound crazy?

Maybe so.

But what if it actually works?

Ao Akua,

PS - The above image is of the throw pillow. That's what I'm going to order first from www.cafepress.com/drjoevitale/ It and everything else there was designed by Nerissa, based on an original image designed by my webmaster, Victor, and based on the ideas in my forthcoming book, Zero Limits. Go see. Thank you.

PPS - If you want to be informed of the next Zero Limits event with me and Dr. Hew Len, send a blank email to zero@aweber.com and you'll be added to the alert list.

Hypnotic Buckling

The picture where you can see my gym was taken yesterday.

The picture were you can't see my gym was taken today.

Leaves and tree limbs have so much ice on them that they are buckling and breaking. I can't walk down my driveway let alone drive down it.

Not only are Texans not used to a winter like this, but even Texas trees aren't.

Wherever you are, stay warm.

Ao Akua,

PS -- My Hypnotic Writing book became a top 100 Amazon bestseller today. Even ice can't stop the Internet for long. See http://snipurl.com/HypnoticWriting Please support my efforts to make the book a top ten bestseller today by getting a copy or two and telling friends about it. The published version that came out today is an updated, expanded, and enriched new version of the famous e-book, now containing more information -- including a complete section of Hypnotic E-mails -- including advanced as well as basic secrets -- and revealing my own tried and true persuasion (with love) formula. Thank you.

Awake in the Dark

The power went out this morning.

All the snow and ice has taken its toll here in Central Texas.

A winter storm here sends everyone into a panic. No one knows how to drive in snow or ice. Cities don't have sand to throw on the roads. Banks, mail, Fed-X, UPS and others are closed. Up North most people know what to do when winter hits.

Not here.

The electric company is much the same. They aren't prepared for snow and ice. So it's not any real surprise that the power went out.

I walked around with a flashlight in the dark house this morning, feeling the cold, missing my coffee, and being sure everyone was okay. I tried to call the power company but their phone lines were overloaded with other callers reporting their own blackouts.

I decided the wisest thing for me to do was to go back to bed.

As I lay there, I mentally chanted the ho'oponopono process I learned from Dr. Hew Len and explain in our forthcoming book, Zero Limits.

I simply kept saying, "I love you, I'm sorry, please forgive me" and "thank you."

This went on for maybe ten minutes.

As I kept repeating the phrases, I started wondering what I was doing it for.

Was I trying to turn the power back on?

If so, wasn't that over-ruling the Divine, which may have turned it off in the first place?

I decided what I was doing was cleaning myself of anything in me not accepting the truth of the situation: the power was off, the room was dark and cold, and there was nothing I could do about it.

I was doing the cleansing method to get to a place of peace. I wasn't trying to beg the Divine for anything, though I was aware that I'd prefer to have the power on. What I was doing instead was releasing the interference within me that might stop me from enjoying the moment.

So I kept silently chanting.

And the power came back on.

It would have come back on sooner or later, anyway, of course.

But by spending my time getting to inner peace, I was nice and warm inside.

All is well.

Law of Attraction Require Action or "Effort"?

One of the biggest points of argument when people talk about the law of attraction is the idea of action.

Many fans of the law of attraction think you don't take any action. You simply sit like a good magnet and wait for your vibes to slide the thing you want over to your chair.

I believe that you usually if not always have to take action of some sort, but that your action isn't effort if it comes from your heart.

That's the key difference.

People run marathons, lift weights, climb mountains, write books, travel on horseback, jump out of planes, make hundreds of sales calls a day, and much more.

It's all action.

But if they do it because they want to do it, because it bubbles out of their passion to do it, then it's not effort.

Again, the law of attraction doesn't mean you don't do anything; it means what you do is effort-free.

For example, I write an astonishing amount of books, articles and blog posts. If you didn't like writing, you'd think what I'm doing is gruelling. But I love what I do. So my action isn't effort. It's simply right action for me.

If you think running up a mountain is insane, you won't take that action because if you did, it would require enormous effort.

When you practice what you learn from the movie The Secret, things do begin to come to you without much effort or action on your part. But that doesn't mean you won't have anything to do.

I was able to attract a new car -- namely Francine -- by knowing what I wanted and then taking action when prompted from the inside to drive over to San Antonio one day.

To me, the law of attraction works to make life easier, but not because you don't take action, but because the action you take is natural for you.

Ao Akua,

PS - Part of this blog was inspired by seeing famous bodybuilder Frank Zane get in the best shape of recent years -- at age 64 -- by working his butt off, practically starving, doing as much as 90 minutes of cardio a day, and working out three times a day. Was it action? You bet. Was it effort? For you and me, it would be incredible effort. For him, it was right action. I'm sure he'd admit that it was "effort" to do, but it was a chosen effort. That, to me, is the kind of action you want to take. He attracted his ideal body, but he did it with right action -- action that he knew to take based on the ideal he wanted to attract.

Software Review: Improve Writing with a "Click"?

A few days ago I heard about a new software program that lets you test your headlines and sentences to make them more riveting.

It had the odd name of Glyphius.

People have created writing software to help with your writing before, and most of it is lame, so I was pretty skeptical.

But I went to the site over at http://outrageous.glyphius.hop.clickbank.net/ and poked around. Since my friend Brian Keith Voiles strongly recommends Glyphius, I thought I would give it a whirl.

I didn't expect for it to do much, but I figured the low price was worth the story of me trying it. So I bought it.

It was a breeze to download. But when I clicked on Glyphius, a simple screen popped up and I had no idea what to do.

I went back to the download page, watched the online video tutorial, and then went back to Glyphius.

I typed in a headline and let the software test it. It supposedly looks at your headline and compares it to a huge database of tested words, phrases, and other headlines. If you scored low, you change your headline with a word or two, or some punctuation, and test it again. You keep trying to create a headline or sentence with a higher score.

This was fascinating. I became addicted to "the game" of seeing if I could improve my headline. I was learning as I went along, too. While I always thought the word "you" would increase a headline's pulling power, according to Glyphius, it actually makes it worse.

For example, the original headline for this blog post was "How to Improve Your Writing."

I plugged it into Glyphius and it came back with a low score.

I'm supposed to be a top copywriter, so this score surprised me.

I then played with dropping the "how" and the "you", both determined to be negative words by Glyphius.

"Improve Writing" scored higher than "How to Improve Your Writing."

That's interesting and maybe even disturbing. After all, I should know more than Glyphius.

I then wondered if a question mark would make a difference. It did, and brought my score higher.

I then wondered if saying this is a "Software Review" would make a difference. It did, and again my score was higher.

Finally, I played with quotation marks, and again the score was higher.

As you can see, Glyphius helped me go from an OK headline to a much more powerful, even hypnotic headline.

I'm now a fan of Glyphius. If there's anything missing, it's an on-screen list of ways or prompts to change your headline. All of that is in my own software, Hypnotic Writing Wizard, so I think using both could make you one kick-butt writer.

PS - This morning Mark Ryan sent me the text for our next subliminal manifestation DVD. The original headline he gave me was SKYROCKET TO YOUR NEXT LEVEL OF SELLING...SIMPLY BY WATCHING TV !!! I plugged it into Glyphius, played around, and came up with the much stronger and shorter headline: SKYROCKET SELLING...SIMPLY BY WATCHING TV! Pretty cool. http://outrageous.glyphius.hop.clickbank.net/ is where you can learn more. Go see.

Please Forgive a "Radical" Secret?

"What we attack and judge in others is really what we condemn in ourselves."

That line from Colin Tipping's book Radical Forgiveness sums up the real key to success in life and work.

Most of us are looking out into the world and blaming what we see for our lack of success. We blame others for what we don't have.

The thing is, we have to let go of all blame, all attacking, all judging, to free our inner selves to attract what we say we want. Until we do, we are hamsters in a cage chasing our own tails and wondering why we aren't getting the results we seek.

The way out is to totally forgive everyone involved, including yourself. Tipping calls this "Radical Forgiveness."

It's radical because central to this form of forgiveness is the truth that nothing bad ever happened in the first place.

There's nothing to forgive.

It's all a divine play.

Central to my forthcoming book with Dr. Hew Len, Zero Limits, is also the idea of forgiveness.

In Tipping's book, as well as the one by Dr. Hew Len and myself, the idea is that you aren't asking the Divine to forgive you, but that you forgive yourself for your wrong perceptions so you can directly experience the Divine.

Once you experience forgiveness, your outer world changes.

Again, everything takes place inside you.

If you want more sales; if you want your marketing to work better; if you want better health, or a loving relationship, or a new house, or more money, or anything else, the place to do the work is inside yourself.

And "the work" is forgiveness.

PS - If you want some help in forgiveness, consider the DVD Mark Ryan and I created called Subliminal Manifestation. All you do is slip it into your DVD player and watch it. It does all the work. How much easier can it get?

My Top 10 All-Time Favorite Life-Changing Books

I'm back home and going through my mountain of backed-up emails.

A lot of emails are from media wanting to interview me. One reporter wanted to know my top ten all-time favorite life-changing books. A book addict like me can't pass up a question like that. I dropped everything and quickly listed the following:

The Magic of Believing by Claude Bristol - This one changed my life when I was a teenager. I've read it a dozen times since. It's a classic.

The Book of est by Luke Rhinehardt - This is my second favorite book of all time. It shows how you create your own life. It's very hypnotic.

Attaining Your Desires by Genevieve Behrend. This two-volume set of gems by the only personal student of Judge Troward reveals the true secrets of the universe. Inspiring.

Zero Limits by Dr. Hew Len - This is an incredible simple system for removing all barriers to success by a therapist who used it to heal an entire ward of mentally ill criminals. It's a little unfair to list it here because I co-authored it, but still, the book is changing my life.

177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class by Steve Siebold - A masterpiece of wisdom that you need to read, absorb and study. A work of genius.

Beyond Positive Thinking by Dr. Robert Anthony - A classic by a living legend.

At Your Command by Neville - This is the little known first ever book by the mystic that changed my life. I love Neville.

The Success Principles by Jack Canfield - A modern day classic by a true hero of personal growth.

Why Is This Happening to Me -- Again? by Michael Ryce. This one helped me see my inner programs and helped me release them. A powerful book.

Think like a Winner! by Dr. Walter Staples. A remarkable clear-headed approach to change from the inside out.

There's another dozen or so books that should be on the list, but when forced to keep it to just ten, there's my pick.

Ao Akua,

PS - I can't leave this post without mentioning that Barry Neil Kaufman's To Love Is To Be Happy With was another life-changing book for me.

PPS - I can't believe I didn't list Debbie Ford's eye-opening book, The Dark Side of the Light Chasers. Anything by Debbie is worth reading. This one gets you to own your "shadow self" - the part of you that you are trying to hide from the world. Integrate it and you have super hero powers. Well, you'll at least be happier.

PPPS - There are so many more books I wish I could list here. What are your life-changers?

Live from Miami

I've been talking to a company here about having my own television show.

Talks went past midnight at a cigar bar. It was exciting.

Talks resumed with gusto this morning.

Right now they are interested in a reality show where I meet real people who were changed by my books or audios.

I have no idea where this will go but I've learned a big secret to a happy life is to say YES to what comes your way.

I'm enjoying the dot.

Defining Moments...Guaranteed for all HERE!

I'll be speaking at a powerful new event next month and thought you'd want to know about it.

It's all about the "defining moment" in your life when the lights come on and everything you've been reading and hearing about begins to work for you.

This event will give you that moment.

It will deal with the invisible factors to your success.

I'll be there, and the group is small enough that you can easily visit with me (if you want to).

I'll be speaking -- for the first time ever -- on "The Secret Behind The Secret."

I'm not the only speaker at this event. The line-up is strong enough to make me want to attend -- even if I weren't speaking there.

For example, one of my heroes will be there -- a man I will meet for the first time in my life but who I've studied and idolized for decades.

There will also be inspiring and informative speakers I've never heard before, as well as some I know are tops in their fields who are friends of mine.

There's more, of course. The best thing to do is take a minute and sprint over to www.patobryan.com/cmd.php?Clk=1762204

Let me know if you'll be at the event so we can sit and chat some.

PS - NEWS FLASH: I just learned I will not be on the Oprah show this season. They had to make a tough decision. Out of the 24 teachers in The Secret, they can only take 5 for the show, which is a special one about the movie. I was among the 6 or 7 being considered but somebody had to sit in the wings. That'll be me. I think this is a good thing. I can go on Oprah when Zero Limits comes out in July. Anyway, thanks for your support and belief in me. It's all good. I'm happy. I'm enjoying the dot.

How to Become Fearless

We watched the 2006 movie Fearless the other night, starring the amazing Jet Li.

I loved it.

This beautiful film tells the mostly true story of Chinese Martial Arts Master Huo Yuanjia (1869~1910). Huo Yuanjia was the founder and spiritual guru of the Jin Wu Sports Federation. His philosophy helped bring respect to the Chinese people when they had none from anyone, including themselves.

I love the music, photography, acting, and sparring in Fearless. That shouldn't be any surprise, as I'm a big fan of Jet Li as well as a student of martial arts.

I studied karate while still in junior high school in the late 1960s and I opened the Kent State University Aikido Club in 1973. (The first ad I ever wrote was for the KSU Aikido Club.)

I've also studied Chi Kung for about ten years now. I'm no Jet Li or Jackie Chan, but I respect them for what they can do.

What I may like best of all in the movie Fearless is seeing the change in the character himself.

He went from being self-centered, revengeful and angry to being respectful of himself and others. The change came after he hits bottom -- which is all too often the place where most of us finally wake up and begin to change -- but from there it's up, raising the spirit of the Chinese people along with him.

Fearless is easy to watch and follow, even with subtitles. Whether you're into martial arts or Jet Li shouldn't matter, as this movie is all about awakening.

I believe that by watching great movies and reading great books about people who have transformed, you can learn and change without going through their pain first hand.

You don't have to hit rock bottom like they did in order to change, if you listen to their message and act now.

Watch and become Fearless.

You Are Here

Yesterday I drove into Austin and met with the staff who run my Miracles Coaching program and my Executive Mentoring Program.

I had some exciting news to share with them, and some astonishing news arrived while I was there.

In the morning The Today Show called, wanting information on my forthcoming book, Zero Limits.

That's pretty big, but not as big as the news that came later.

At lunch I handed out the recently completed bibliography of my life's work so far -- 45 pages of books, e-books, audios, videos, software, fitness formulas, and more -- an entire listing of everything I've created up to now. The heft of the document alone impressed even me.

But that wasn't the biggest news of the day, either.

At lunch with the staff, I stood up and told them something that I felt inspired to share.

I put a dot on the whiteboard on the wall and circled it.

"You are here," I said.

I told them the whiteboard is like the map at the mall where all the stores are listed and a little box says "You are here" to give you your bearings.

"Where do you want to go from here?" I asked.

"Up," someone said.

"Off the whiteboard itself," someone else said.

"This is all good," I went on. "You all want to move up. You want more sales, more results, more wealth. Right?"

They all agreed.

I then put another dot on the board, way up at the top of it, and circled it.

"That represents where you want to go," I said.

I then asked the key question, "How do you go from where you are to where you want to be?"

They were quiet for a moment, but then began saying things like "Take a straight line," and "Do one thing at a time," and "Make more sales calls," and so on.

"That's all good," I said. "Those are all practical answers. But I want you to think in terms of the movie The Secret and my book The Attractor Factor."

I added, "I'm going to tell you what I think is the greatest secret to manifesting whatever you want."

They were quiet, not sure where I was going with all this.

"Does anyone want to know what the secret is?" I asked.

They all burst out laughing. They definitely wanted to know.

I pointed at the little "You are here" dot and said, "The secret to getting what you want is to totally appreciate this moment. When you are grateful for this moment, then whatever is next for you will bubble up out of this moment. You'll be inspired to take action of some sort. That will lead you up. But the only way to get to the upper dot is to live in this dot with gratitude."

They've all heard this before, but I wanted them to truly get it.

I then told them about my Maui friend who says my favorite line these days: "I'm totally satisfied, I just want more."

That's the key to success, I explained.

It's wanting more without needing more.

I went on and on about being grateful, and how it leads to that upward climb. Most of us aren't happy right now, thinking we will be happy when we get to that other dot. But the great joke is that when you get to the other dot, you won't be happy. You'll be looking for another dot on the map. You'll use unhappiness to whip yourself forward. The thing is, it doesn't have to be that way.

Just be happy now.

Out of this now will come the miracles you seek.

The group got the message. They shook my hand. Smiled. Showed light in their eyes. Walked away with a spring in their step.

Now here's the really juicy part.

I got a phone call right after that meeting. It was Suzanne, my assistant. She almost never calls me, and she knew I was in a meeting. So I knew this call had to be important.

I took the call and to my delight I learned that Oprah's people wanted my media kit.

And they wanted it by midnight.

Oprah's folks are considering me as a guest for a show.

Oprah!

Now get this: I was happy in the moment. As I'm happy, the next moment brings it's own rewards. As I'm happy in that moment, it too gives birth to more joy.

You can do this, too. You may not have Oprah call you, but you will get what is right for you. I explain all of this in the book, Zero Limits. But the essence of the message is this:

All you have to do is embrace the dot that says "You are here" and do what it tells you to do.

And when the phone rings, answer it!

Seven Astounding Predictions for 2007

What's going to happen in 2007?

I looked into my crystal ball and found an answer - a rather astonishing one.

I also asked six peers for their predictions.

Here's what we found:

1. The main trend for web video this year will be free training on just about any subject. Training videos that are uploaded and shared will see the largest increase in 2007. The multi-billion video industry has already caught on to the benefits of training the public to use the products they sell and the smaller business owners and entrepreneurs will catch on.
-- Nerissa Oden, Author, "The Future of Web Video" http://www.TheVideoQueen.com

2. I predict the recent elections will result in an increase in the number of grants available in 2007.
-- Jillian Coleman-Wheeler http://www.GrantMeRich.com

3. I predict in 2007 we'll be seeing more collaborations among Internet marketers. Not your typical, I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine type joint-venture but true mastermind group projects with three to five partners each with specialized skills. Of course, as Joe and I point out in our book, "Meet & Grow Rich", mastermind groups aren't just for marketers. Anyone can harness the power of the mastermind to help accomplish any goal in life.
-- Bill Hibbler, http://www.MeetAndGrowRich.com and http://www.EcommerceConfidential.com

4. Dr. Joe Vitale appears on Oprah's TV show.
-- Pat O'Bryan. http://www.patobryan.com/unseminar3.htm

5. My prediction for 2007 is that Mitch and I will find an awesome producer who will produce our Space Wedding reality show and we will start looking for people who are interested in signing up for our reality show. Anyone can be ordained within 5 minutes on the computer and the winner of our reality show will get to marry us in space.
-- Cindy Cashman http://www.firstspacewedding.com

6. I predict in 2007 you'll be a year older, tons of stuff will change but everything will pretty much remain the same UNLESS you truly take new action on whatever inspires you (and scares you a little, too). Then 2007 will be your best year ever!
-- Craig Perrine, http://www.Maverickmarketer.com

And finally, here's my own prediction for 2007:

7. I predict websites will become more "alive." More websites are using multi-media to bring their message to life, but in 2007 some websites will become almost conscious. A good example is the world's first site to cleanse you of negativity as you visit it. See http://www.ZeroLimits.info

Happy New Year!

Francine's Song, or, Look What She Made Me Do NOW!

Francine told me to create a website for her. (She's so pushy.)

If you're at all curious about her -- she's a Panoz Esperante GTLM luxury sports car with attitude -- you can check her out at http://mrfire.com/francine/

Careful, though.

She's addictive.

On Continuing: A Rocky Story

We went to see the new Sylvester Stallone movie called ROCKY BALBOA the other day.

If you're a Rocky fan, or a Stallone fan, you should go see it. It's the sixth flick in the likable character's journey through life, and probably the last. (Rocky is in his 50's in the movie and Stallone is 60.) It's well worth seeing.

Here's why:

The other day I posted about how I increased my hand strength by leaving a pair of gorilla hand grippers out and squeezing them -- or trying to -- every day.

Well, with the same principle in mind, I now have a rope climbing tower.

It's a metal tower with an extension at the top of it, with a heavy rope hanging from it to the ground. It looks a lot like a gallows pole.

It's outside by my gym; near the pool, spa and catarium.

It doesn't quite go into the clouds, but it's 15 feet high and pretty intimidating when you're at the base of it looking straight up.

I haven't tried climbing it yet as the metal tower was just set in concrete and has to dry first. But I'm pretty sure I won't get up the rope on the first try unless a rabid bear is chasing me.

And maybe not even then.

But if I try it every day, in time I will do it.

The new Rocky movie has a similar message.

It's not about stopping.

It's about continuing.
