Here is the second instance I’ve noticed your web sites within the last few weeks. Looks like I should take note of it.

To each and every one of you who have commented on the this blog about converting constructive concepts into actions, I thank you. Sharing the ways you have applied the idea reinforces the "gold" for everyone, including myself. There really is no end to the ways we can benefit from staying alert to the crucial difference between "knowing about" something and "knowing" something to the degree that we apply it to alter and improve who we are and how we act.

Cecily, thanks to the application you suggested, I have printed off a simple little form -- 6" x 9" --to insert into the back of books, so I can capture and convert key ideas into action items.

As we have thought about "application vs. mere information," I suspect a lot of us have recalled quotes like Charles Spurgeon's statement, "Wisdom is right use of knowledge." Even in the seemingly modest matter we are discussing, the potential is immense. And that reminds me one more thought to apply: "by small and simple methods are great things accomplished."

Dr. Dennis,

Once again…You’ve hit the nail on the head! I just got out of a workshop that lasted two days. Your message caused me to go back through the MOUNTAIN of implementation information that I accumulated over two days and filter them for implementable action items!

Thank you for sharing…Let me know how I can serve you!

Thanks for the reminder! Something I began including in my own seminar handouts (both when I give seminars and when I take them) is a page in the back that has space on one side for "Ah-ha moments" and on the other for "Action Items". I have found that for me, just as you described…because I am inspired by a thought does not mean I will act on it…my behavior has to be intentional and there’s no better way for me to insure that than to make a concrete plan to use what I have learned. It is also easier for me to integrate the new knowledge into my own thinking rather than keeping it at an observer’s distance if I engage in the practical planning and application of what I have learned. This is one thing that helped me integrate so many of the concepts I learned in "Ownership Spirit". Thanks again.

As I read this, I thought about the concept of dominate thoughts. Since I attended your seminar in February I have learned and continue to learn that where your dominate thoughts are the rest of your time, your attention, what you talk about, what you write about (your notes), your money and even your spirit will follow. This is what I love about your material... when we are more conscious of our mindset we can experience life in a more meaningful and fulfilling way.
Thanks for inviting me to your Qummunity and I am so excited for you and your progress on your book !
