After watching President Barack Obama humbly accept the peace prize, view the actual announcement from the Nobel Peace committee with the president being awarded the 2009 prize. It comes with a $1.4 million award.
Here is a commentator from BBC and his opinion on the peace prize.
ANALYSIS

The award is certainly unexpected and might be regarded as more of an encouragement for intentions than a reward for achievements.
After all, the president has been in office for a little over eight months and he might hope to serve eight years. His ambition for a world free of nuclear weapons is one that is easier to declare than to achieve and a climate control agreement has yet to be reached.
Indeed, the citation indicates that it is President Obama’s world view that attracted the Nobel committee – that diplomacy should be founded “on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population”.
P.S. Hopefully, Obama will be inspired on to help America regain he strength.
P.P.S. Again, this will be an opportunity to provide hope for all countries and acknowledge that anything is possible.
When we get into information overload, there are ways to help reprogram our minds to think, and go forward instead of doing nothing. It’s very easy to look at all the information on the Internet and not get anything accomplished or think that just one MORE thing will do it for us. With these steps you can increase your chance for success in whatever you want to do.
1) We need to be clear about what we want in our lives.
2) We need to remove any distractions or negativity that drains us and takes us away from what we want.
3) We need to think accurately how to best use the resources we have at the present to work with.
4) Take necessary action that was effective.
5) You need to reward to remind the brain that I was taking big or little steps to change my life.
6) You have to be honest with what you have created and you go along and learn the positive and negative from it.
P.S. Life is about learning along the way.
P.P.S. Learning is a tool in itself to be used daily.
In June I attended Herb Tanzer’s “Breath of Fresh Air” which was a great experience. It was truly a “breath of “fresh air.” I was able to look at life in a whole different way.
I attended it again a few weeks back to prepare for what is coming up this weekend.
Part two of Have It All, is “Dare to Dream.” This is where we learn Quantum Leaping and pushing the limits. I can’t wait to for this weekend and unfolding in ways I’ve only dreamed about.
A SPECIAL NOTE:
Herb is offering to those who missed “Breath of Fresh Air” a review before he presents “Dare to Dream.” This will help to understand the material he’ll be presenting to us over the weekend.
I learned so much and Herb has such a fantastic way of explaining things that I just didn’t get before or understood. He allows you to let go of the past without judging yourself and setting yourself free.
Look forward to dreaming away with you this weekend.
