Discover How a Jar of Golf Balls Revealed the Astonishing 'Anyone can do it' Secret to Fulfillment, Happiness and Success
Monday, March 15, 2010
Dear Friend,Are you dissatisfied, overwhelmed or generally fed up with things as they are?
Do you find there is too much to do and so little time to get everything done?
And what is it all for? - When you are finally done will you be living the life you always dreamed?
So where are you going wrong?
Well to start you need to know what your Golf Balls are!
Yep I know that sounds a little odd but before we go into that, let me introduce myself ....
My name is Karl Rogan
Over the past few years, I've made important discoveries that have literally changed my life for the better. I wake up each day feeling excited and energized with a renewed sense of purpose, and I've literally TRIPLED my self-confidence and self-belief.
More importantly, I now feel significant, appreciated and happy.
I've increased my ability to FOCUS and make DECISIONS and I spend the majority of my time doing things that I love.
I accomplished all of this without following ANY specific personal development course or self-improvement book.
In fact, the methods I used to increase my confidence and happiness are so powerful that they've changed me on the INSIDE.
These methods have now become permanent habits and I'd like to share with you the story of how I discovered these important techniques - and how YOU can use them to find purpose and true fulfillment... all while improving your health and mental focus.
But first, I want to let you in on something:
I wasn't always a calm, centered and confident person.
Before I started this journey I was living day by day like a robot, just repeating the same boring tasks over and over.
I had no idea who I really was or what I wanted, and I was haunted by my fair share of bad experiences. To add to my problems I was over-weight and depressed, and I often looked to alcohol, cigarettes and food to make me feel better.
I lived like this for many years, but the weird thing was I often contemplated the idea that something better must be round the corner for me, but I never actually did anything to try and change things.
Then came the day that I hit rock bottom
I lived alone, I had no real friends, I hated my work, I hated my life and I just knew that I had to find a way out.
It was 1997.
The 5 years that followed were grueling but I had made a crucial decision - I was 100% committed to change my life.
I studied everything I could find
This included Psychology, Neuroscience, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, New Thought Literature, Meditation, Personal Development courses from Top Motivational Speakers, and all other self-improvement, personal development and self-help resources I could get my hands on.
I studied, I practiced and I never gave up.
I've now read them all.
And been to the seminars, too.
My personal library now contains thousands of books, courses and training programs.
I've tried so many different self-improvement techniques, you'd be right to think I was some sort of SELF IMPROVEMENT ADDICT.
And here's what I found:
Every one of them had some "good stuff" but they also contained alot of stuff that was either meaningless or useless to me.
And some of them contained techniques that actually made my life WORSE!
Yes, you read that right. Some of the things I tried out actually made me feel worse, and I started to doubt whether I'd ever find a way out.
One technique focused on how all areas in life were supposed to be balanced.
The idea was to evaluate and score your current position in certain areas of life (i.e. career, love and financial) and then to use this to identify the specific areas out of balance that needed work.
My whole life was out of balance - I thought great my life really sucks!
Another system I studied had you visualize a picture in your mind about what you wanted to be, do and have. Supposedly something magical would happen if I did this visualization twice a day, every day.
Nice idea in theory, as it did feel good, but it didn't get me to actually DO anything, so nothing ever happened. So much for the widely promoted Law of Attraction!!
Still another system I studied said the world was just an illusion (a bit like in the Matrix film) and that nothing was real. In this imaginary world I was the illusionist with the magical power to make anything happen just by thinking about it!
That one never had a chance with me, it was too way out there. I'm an open-minded guy but I couldn't find any practical use from that type of thinking, other than a quick fire route to a mental hospital!
BUT THE ADVICE WASN'T ALL BAD
Don't get me wrong, just because every system I tried wasn't perfect, I did learn a LOT about what I was capable of and how my mind worked.
It's just that there were enough "missing pieces" from each system I tried... that it prevented it from working for me "as-is."
I'm sure you can relate to what I'm talking about.
Then one day, about five years ago, I had an amazing experience that just opened up a new door in my mind.
IT ALL BEGAN WITH A SIMPLE DEMONSTRATION
I was attending a small local seminar - the following describes what happened that day....
He then asked the audience if the jar was full
We all agreed that it was
The speaker then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar
He shook the jar lightly and the pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls
He then asked the audience again if the jar was full
We all agreed it was
The speaker then picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar
Of course, the sand filled up all the remaining space in the jar
He asked once more if the jar was full
The audience once again responded with an unanimous "YES"
The speaker then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand
We all started to chuckle
"Now" said the speaker as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life"
"The Golf Balls are the Important things - Your Family, Your Children, Your Health, Your Friends, Your Dreams and Passions, and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full"
"The pebbles are the other things that matter; like your job, your house and your car"
"The sand is everything else; the small stuff"
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls"
"The same goes for life"
"If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness".
- Play with your children
- Spend time with your parents
- Visit with grandparents
- Take time to look after your health
- Take your spouse out to dinner
- Play another 18!
"Take care of the golf balls first - the things that really matter"
"Set your priorities"
"The rest is just sand"
At this point I raised my hand and inquired what the coffee represented
The speaker smiled back at me and said "I'm glad you asked"
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend
It was a great seminar and the lesson I learned from this simple demonstration was profound.
I realized that I had been imagining my problem as being the circumstances of my life... something outside of me that I could learn to control and change.
It was as if my circumstances was a "thing" - and if I just learned how to "control" it, I would magically start feeling happy.
BUT could there be a simpler way?
Then suddenly it felt like the pieces of an enormous jigsaw began putting themselves together.
And I realized that I had just CRACKED the code to true personal fulfillment and happiness.
What followed next was an intense few years of research and development as I journeyed further into the exploration and identification of the key fundamental principles supporting all Life Improvement programs.
What is a Key Principle?
So let me show you what I'm talking about....
This principle is inspired from the earlier story but offers you the chance to find great happiness in your life. Do you know what is most important to you?
How much time and energy do you spend with the things in your life that matter to you most? Is it a small amount or a great amount?
I can guarantee you that your levels of happiness are directly related to this.
How about another Key Principle...
Have you ever considered how your Focus relates to your experience of life?
Many people fall into the trap of focusing on the less important things in their life and this can leave you with little time and energy for the things that really matter.
Do not forget your dreams, your loved ones and the things you love to do. These are the keys to your personal happiness and fulfillment.
If you could refocus your attention on what you love to do and what really matters to you I guarantee you'll be feeling fantastic.
Can you now see the POWER of living by these Key Principles
The Coffee Philosophy Training Club is focused on helping you understand what really matters so you can Get What You Really Want.
What I'm telling you about today isn't another Self Improvement product, its a Personal Growth training club that will open new doors in you mind.
Its fun, its focused on personal improvement and growth and it provides all the resources necessary to help you get you where you want to go.
The Coffee Philosophy Training Club packages its information in many forms which provide the insights, techniques and timeless wisdom required to trigger the changes you need.
Let me give you another life changing principle....
This one I found while reading one of Earl Nightingales books (The Strangest Secret)
What do you think about most of the time?
This is such a powerful principle that you could literally change your life forever from just this single discovery!
Consider for a moment - What negative stuff are you feeding your mind? What do you ponder over? How does this make you feel?
So why do other self-improvement programs fail?
The reality of living in todays world is we are all at different stages and places in our lives. The problems and challenges we face in the current moment largely dictate what we are looking for.
Your brain is truly fantastic at finding information that will help you. There is a section of your brain called the Reticular Activating System and this is responsible for filtering through and finding useful information from the masses of information you take in every second.
Therefore you will filter out anything that you don't need at this present moment and absorb only that information that your brain thinks you do need.
Take the average self-improvement book, course or seminar and you'll probably get something from it but you will most likely overlook the majority of it because you simply don't need it!
The Coffee Philosophy Training Club provides structure and organisation with a vast knowledge base of ideas, principles and exercises to help you CHANGE YOUR LIFE. It's simply the first place to come to find motivation, inspiration and solutions to HELP you get what you want.
The truth is there are no lasting quick fixes but when you understand the timeless principles everything will fall into place.
Even better the principles are easy to understand, easy to interpret and easy to apply. When you combine these principles with the huge resources available it will feel like your plugged into an unlimited supply of wisdom.
I guarantee that once you're finished with the program you'll be on a whole new level, opportunities and ideas will be everywhere, but most importantly you'll have the confidence and wisdom to pursue them.

The Most Important Question: Is This Training Club Right for You?
This training club might be right for you, and it might not. By now, you've probably started to get a sense of whether or not this club can help you get what you want, increase your happiness, and become more productive. If it's right for you, that's great. If not, that's OK, too. I designed this club with a very specific, very particular set of potential students in mind.
Who This Training Club Is Designed to Help Most
As I mentioned, I've created this program to help a few very specific types of people. If you're one of these types, then I highly recommend that you consider joining the training club. Let me explain who will get the MOST from this program...
1) I want to improve my life but I don't know how
The intention of this training club is to help inspire and educate you to greater things. If you are looking for advice, coaching or techniques that you can start applying immediately then this training club is for you.
2) Self Help Fans, Philosophers & Life Adventurers
The Self-Improvement market is constantly releasing re-hashed materials and techniques. These are always based on key principles and yet they never really explain what these principles are. This is your chance to really get to grips with the underlying fundamentals, after all when you understand the principles and begin to apply them you'll never need to read another self-help book again, in fact its more likely you'll be writing your own!
Who The Training Club Is Not For:
Even though this program can literally help anyone find what they want, I don't recommend that you invest in it if you are either:
1) Someone who is completely satisfied with your life.
If your truly happy and fulfilled, then you should probably "pass" on this training club. This program is really only for people who are NOT satisfied with their current level of happiness and fulfillment, and who want to "go to the next level."
2) Someone who wants "instant results."
In this program, I'm going to teach you several techniques that are going to work VERY quickly. But in reality the major results will take time. It really depends on where you are now and what type of changes you need to make before successful lasting results can be seen. While I think this is great, some people don't like the idea of investing this much time. If you're one of those people who needs to see results YESTERDAY, then you should pass on this course.
3) Someone who isn't "open to coaching."
If there's one thing that will prevent this material from working, it's an attitude of "I already know this stuff" or "I want to watch and analyze everything before I do ANYTHING." This training club is NOT for someone who is "closed" and not willing to JUMP IN with both feet. I know this material works but you need to be OPEN to the coaching if you're going to get the biggest benefits and results from the club.
Bottom line: If you're satisfied with your current life... if you're expecting INSTANT results... or if you're not open to coaching... then don't register for this training club. It's probably not right for you.

Be Inspired, Live Well
Karl RoganP.S. One more thing... if you wanted, you could probably figure out all this stuff on your own. I know, because that's what I did. But it's probably cost me more than a few hundred thousand dollars when I add up what I've invested, spent, tested, and WASTED figuring out the "good stuff" that actually works. So you can invest a ton of money and time trying to figure out what works, or you can short-circuit that whole process and start putting this material to work in your life immediately.
