How James Bond Got a Helping Hand

Ian Flemming, the creator of James Bond,
got an unexpected helping hand from a US
intellectual...a helping hand which
propelled his books to best sellers.

In 1961, Life magazine asked a well-known
intellectual to list his favorite books. All
the books were scholarly works except
one - From Russia with Love (a James Bond
thriller). Because this was the only book
on the list that the average American would
even consider buying, they did.

And I'll reveal the name of that
intellectual in a moment...

Two weeks ago I discussed riding a wave and
the Fun Commandment, Don't Look Down.

You were born with the most potent and
powerful natural medicine on the face of
the earth: your humor nature. And I hope
you are already using your humor nature to
create a life of your choosing instead of
constantly reacting to circumstances.

I know you don’t like it when things don’t
happen like you thought they would. Or
they don’t happen as fast as you’d like. You
have neat and tidy plans that are
constantly being rearranged by the force of
the big wave you’re riding.

Don’t look down. Use the energy of the
wave to propel you to the exact movements
you’re supposed to by making. If not you
become like the woman who plants seeds in
her garden only to dig them up the very
next day to check their progress. You
impede your growth when you get out of the
flow, over analyze, and look down.

Remember this simple rule: if you’re using
your head alone, you’re looking down. If,
however, you rely on your heart, you’re
keeping your eyes straight ahead and having
faith in what’s going on below you. This
doesn’t give you license to quit making
plans, nor does it give you the blessing to
base your decisions solely upon your
feelings.

It means that you will quit talking
yourself out of taking action on the next
opportunity which appears on your plate.

You know when you’re in the flow, when
things feel like they’re clicking and you
don’t have to wonder whether you’re doing
well. You know that you are hitting on all
cylinders because you don’t even have to
try too hard. It comes naturally.

Look for that feeling and nurture it. Start
by reveling in my Fun Commandments
and enjoy using them to feel happy and
joyous. When you are using the power of
humor to reclaim your birthright of
happiness, you’re either effortlessly
riding the wave or you’re pretty darn close.

Isn’t it nice to know that you are so close
to a Zen state of peace and connectedness? All
you need to is use your humor nature. And,
as you’ve learned, the best part of
using your humor nature is that you don’t
need to learn anything new. All you need
to learn is how to not sabotage your humor
nature (as society has taught you to do)
with your learned seriousness.

The rewards for your choice to not look
down are great.

By the way, that American intellectual? None
other than John F. Kennedy!
