CELEBRATE SUCCESS
on Friday,
the eighth day
in the eighth month
in the eighth year
of the THIRD Millennium
(can it get any better? LOL!)
And it's easy. All you have to do to take part is to take five minutes to have a
think on successes past, then present, and then make your success goals for the
future and toast your success with a glass of wine or water.
It's as easy as that!!!

World Success Day!!!
by Dr Silvia Hartmann
I've decided to invent a new holiday - World Success Day.
This came about because in the UK at the moment, the negativity and moaning
about EVERYTHING is just off the wall now.
It's reached a point where folk in the street are getting fed up with it!
So I was at an art shop, buying some paints, when I asked the proprietor, who I
know quite well, how business was.
She said, "Oh, not too bad. It's never exactly storming in August, the art
students are away and people aren't indoors much painting at this time of year.
Although if you believe what they say on the TV - honestly, I'm really fed up
with it every time I switch it on! Credit crunch, credit crunch, credit crunch!"
I was about to reply, go into a diatribe about negative thinking and how BAD
that is for EVERYONE and EVERYTHING when another customer beat me to it, a
retired guy with a big canvas under his arm.
"All that moaning makes me sick!" he exclaimed. "For God's sake! I've been
through a war, I tell you, and that was difficult. They should be glad of what
they got!"
Before long, the entire shop was debating, heatedly at that, how they were
simply sick to death of the constant barrage of terror, global warming, more
terror, more credit crunch, EVEN more terror and basically just wanted to be
left alone to get on with life!
I thought, wow, it's not just me and my fellow personal developers! There is an
actual groundswell in the population, business people, retired folk, moms with
kids - NOBODY likes this endless moaning and whining.
Cool!
So the next day, I find out that this year, we have a day whose date is 08.08.08
- week on Friday, actually.
Triple 8 for prosperity tri-fold - and that date won't come again for another
hundred years!
Smack in the middle of the "credit crunch"!
I thought, right, let's do something. Let's catch on to that auspicious breeze
that's existing there AND TURN OUR FORTUNES AROUND, set our fortunes in the
opposite direction where this endless negativity is leading the way to doom,
gloom, meltdown and disaster, namely towards success, enjoyment, personal
triumph over adversity, and having a damn good time whilst you're at it!
Let's have ....
... a drumroll please ...
WORLD SUCCESS DAY!
I have an internet ezine with subscribers from every single country in the
world.
Our subscribers know ALL ABOUT how bad negativity is for your energy system, for
your body, for your mind, and for all the actions you take.
I won't have to preach to them, or convince them that this is not just a
sterling idea, but even something someone needs to do, really, to inject a bit
of forward momentum and lightness into the ether of the world.
They'll get it right away!
And because every single person who gets our ezine actually WANTS a better life
for themselves, for those they love, and for all of humanity at large, AND is
proactive in working towards achieving that in their own ways, I know for a fact
that they're going to do this, all around the world, namely to
CELEBRATE SUCCESS
on Friday,
the eighth day
in the eighth month
in the eighth year
of the THIRD Millennium
(can it get any better? LOL!)
And it's easy. All you have to do to take part is to take five minutes to have a
think on successes past, then present, and then make your success goals for the
future and toast your success with a glass of wine or water.
It's as easy as that.
Everyone can do that, and I know everyone will!
It's short notice because I only just thought of it, but if you have friends,
family, colleagues, do it with them and make an entire success party out of it.
Or a success dinner, a success barbeque, a success toast in a pub - wherever you
are, you can do it on the day.
And next year, who knows?
It's going to be the eighth of the eight again, and a real success celebration
of all good things that have happened, all the good things that are here and
then those still to come definitely has a place in *any calender*.
The beauty of this date is that it's completely clean, no religious festivals
tied into it, no middle age meanings, no stone age nothin', no tradition of
tribe X - it's fresh and new for us fresh new people who want to live well and
experience joy, reward, personal triumph and everything that each one of us
defines as SUCCESS in life, love, business to celebrate, and call more of the
same into our lives, big time.
This is a celebration where EVERYONE can join in. If you have a family and loads
of friends, cool, make a big party out of it. If you're completely alone, cool!
Do it with yourself and the Universe at large. If you're too weak to raise a
glass, do it in Sanctuary.
EVERYONE can join in.
Every human being wants to be happy.
The Creative Order DESIGNED US THAT WAY.
We set our course towards that, keep focused on that, put our energies into that
each one, and the individual begins to lift those around them, and eventually,
even society must follow suit.
I'm totally into getting some more positive energies into the ether of this
planet and I'm actually really looking forward to MY success celebration on the
very first "World Success Day" week on Friday.
Join it, let's do this thing and let's do something good, for ourselves, and for
each other.
Glasses raised high!

World Success Day:
Tell EVERYONE!
What a lovely idea! As it happens I'm going out that evening, so I shall
certainly say to everyone "lets all be happy and to a good future".
All the best to you.
Thanks Pat
Hi Silvia
Right on! Champagne is at the ready.
I can't bear to watch television anymore and I'm a scriptwriter. Fear,
crisis, death, mortgage stress etc. What ever happened to comedy? The
funny side to life, the silver-lined cloud?
Good on you, keep sending out your messages.
Congratulations!
This is a great idea for the three 8ths. I was so impressed that I sent
it to the organisation for No to Id's (no2id's).
Again many thanks for your free advice.
Kindest regards
Dorothy
The limited thinking which leads people to hold onto negativity is the problem
with parts of our culture. The collective subconscious is being fed a type of
attitudinal cancer which grows like any other tumour.
Negative emotions like the one you are describing always follow the same
pattern. They are based on such ideas as "the world is going badly." or "these
people are hurting me so" or "Nobody understands me" or "the world is not fair".
Of course these kinds of thought just fail to keep pace with major existential
realities. They are a form of denial and do not stand up to analysis. Negative
thoughts like these are really just prejudice and fear like any other negative
emotion.
Positive emotion however is that emotion which is held in accord with
intelligence. In fact positive emotion and intelligence are really the same
thing. An addiction to a negative world view rises from the absence of right
thinking. That is the problem...the lack of intelligence and awareness being
applied to our culture.
If we start by appreciating the great gift which life on this planet is...if we
start with the realisation that we are actually very lucky then the chasm being
rammed down our throats by the media which creates despondency and disillusion
cannot get traction.
8/8/08 might just be the start of revelation for some people. Cool.....walk in
sunshine

Beloved Silvia,
Greetings from Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa.
Fantastic suggestion!!! Everyone can stop at 08:00 in the morning wherever
you are in the world and offer 1 minute of Gratitude to the Universe for all
our Blessings. This will result in 24 hours of continuous Gratitude to the
Universe as people send out from every country around the world.
Omshanti, Peace be with you.
Namaste, Gerry.
*Yep 8 is my lucky number...i shall be there. LOL*

Love the idea,
Do you think we have enough time to get national coverage ? perhaps a slot
on radio or Lose Women ( ha ha! ) - I'm sure the universe will oblige and
I'm happy to support in any coverage.
Love and lots of gorgeous energy
Heidi
That's a brilliant idea - kudos, kudos! With positive energy the sky need not
be the limit. We can achieve so much.
Thank you for reminding me/us.
John
Brilliant! Just what I needed to read.
Will send your link out to all my lists.
Let's get rid of all the pity parties and replace them with Success Parties.
Cheers!
Elly
It’s a wonderful idea – last week I was thinking it such a special date we need to celebrate.
I could not find anything about the date, then this came along - Silvia thank you!
The champers has been in the fridge since last week!
Joe
Hi, I was sent an email about the World Success Day. Brilliant!
Normally at the Boktalo office we get so many weird emails we have to quickly delete them.
Great that there's one that's talking normality.
Good wishes for now, and especially for 8.8.8.
Jasper
Love your idea of World Success Day! Wish the politicians were listening ...
Cheers from Nottingham
Jenny
Hi Silvia,
What a fantastic idea!
What's needed now, is to get the radio and television producers to join in - and
agree to not mention any more of this dreary bad news for the whole day.
Your email will be pinging its way to all my friends straight away.
Kind regards,
Christine

Happy World Success Day To You!
Everything starts with an idea I guess - and I had this idea for the World
Success Day.
Boy did that get a good response! It is really heartening to see all these
people from all these walks of life saying, "Yeah, damn right! We're sick of
this endless negativity too! Let's celebrate instead!"
One lady, the editor of ... magazine, said that after the war when resources
were REALLY scarce and things were REALLY difficult, people made games and
competitions out of survival practices to keep their spirits up. I've heard this
too and that's a very cool thing to remember, namely that if you keep your
spirits up, then you have a chance to survive and to thrive even under the most
difficult of circumstances.
Human beings are born survivors, with immense strengths that don't even become
revealed until the moment of truth is there, and amazing resources, each and
every one.
When the spirits are up, we remember that and act accordingly; when the spirits
are down, we FORGET WHO WE ARE and experience what we call "magic failure" - all
the resources are nowhere to be found, and one feels helpless, and afraid.
Now people tend to think that magic failure happens BECAUSE of external
circumstances; but actually, the circumstances have nothing to do with it. You
can be fit, healthy and beautiful and live in the greatest palace, adored by
millions AND "the one" and STILL wail and moan if you've somehow fallen into
magic failure.
And in reverse, you can be in a concentration camp and all that's left to you is
your own thoughts and you can experience freedom, power and love if you can step
out of magic failure, and into the high states of true human excellence, where
the human spirit shines brightly and is indefatigable.
This ability we humans have to choose what states we want to occupy REGARDLESS
of our environmental circumstances is THE most extraordinary gift, if you think
about it for a moment.
The Creative Order gave us a conscious mind and that's made life really rather
difficult; we know we're all going to die, for one thing, we can fear old age
and sickness, monsters that aren't even there, and construct all kinds of wild
alternate realities of hell on Earth and live in them even if they're completely
unfounded.
But the Creative Order gave us not just this conscious mind as a punishment. It
ALSO gave us a whole set of other gifts, and the ability to be and experience
life AS WE CHOOSE TO, completely regardless of what circumstances befall us, is
in essence the other side of the coin, it is what gives us back our ability to
live life in the light.
So if you've been a bit averse to "thinking positively" or raising your state
any which way you can even in dire circumstances, thinking perhaps that's just
"denying the truth" or "living in cloud cuckoo's land", I would ask you to
re-consider.
Raising your spirits in a dire situation is actually, the way out of that dire
situation - whether you can physically resolve it, or not.
And any thing you can think to do to raise your spirits - through laughter,
through letting go of misery, through remembering past triumphs and counting
your blessings, and your strengths; through connecting with loved ones right
here, or those in spirit; through turning your mind towards the beauty of
nature, or of human art; through focusing on what you want in your life, rather
than what you don't ...
... all those things are GOOD THINGS.
When you make an active effort to reject negativity, and that very much means
rejecting YOUR OWN thoughts of failure and comments about your short-comings!,
you are doing yourself and the whole world a huge favour.
In fact, this is so essential that I said to someone the other day, "You know we
think it's our business to earn money, be a good parent, a good lover, a good
citizen, contribute to humanity with all these works - but in fact, if we made
it our business just to make sure each day we think the right thoughts, AND
NOTHING ELSE!, then the rest would just fall like dominoes, like water down a
waterfall, without any further ado, because EVERYTHING comes from what we think
in the course of our days."
And of course, what we think comes from the state we're in - whether our spirits
are sky high, clipping the horizon or nosediving way low into the depths of
misery.
So on this day, this wonderfully auspicious day of 080808 in the 3rd Millennium,
let's raise our glasses, raise our spirits, and USE THIS DAY to notice WHAT A
DIFFERENCE THAT MAKES to everything you do.
Let that be a learning process for yourself and a starting point to notice when
we lose the plot, when magic failure sets in, when your spirits start to lose
altitude - and say, "STOPPIT!"
Every single time, and I really mean that, EVERY SINGLE TIME we can stop the
slide into magic failure and set our course back towards the high spirits stage,
we have won an important battle in the war against negativity.
Every time you can do that, lift your spirits no matter what life throws at you,
you have done something truly wonderful and I congratulate you on it!
I know we all have a long way to go, but with each other's help and reminders
like the World Success Day, we ARE going to make progress and life WILL become
more enjoyable for each and every one of us!
Here's to high spirits, here's to YOUR success!
Silvia :-)
