It was the pain of<br \/>\nfeeling powerless to help people who had come to me for<br \/>\nhelp, and the pain of my own personal suffering. <\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no shortage of pain in the lives of most people<br \/>\non the planet. Rich or poor, famous or unknown, healthy<br \/>\nor sick, educated or unschooled, religious or atheist,<br \/>\nfew are exempt. <\/p>\n<p>There are lots of people who are ready and willing,<br \/>\ncalling out to God or the universe for help. You may be<br \/>\none of them. People in &#8220;worse&#8221; circumstances than yours<br \/>\nare among them. People in &#8220;better&#8221; circumstances than<br \/>\nyours are among them.<\/p>\n<p>Do you recognize and accept the help that comes?<\/p>\n<p>It reminds me of this story:<\/p>\n<p>   A terrible storm came into a town and local<br \/>\n   officials sent out an emergency warning that<br \/>\n   the riverbanks would soon overflow and flood<br \/>\n   the nearby homes. They ordered everyone in the<br \/>\n   town to evacuate immediately.<\/p>\n<p>   A faithful religious man heard the warning and<br \/>\n   decided to stay, saying to himself, \u201cI will<br \/>\n   trust God and if I am in danger, then God will<br \/>\n   send a divine miracle to save me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>   The neighbors came by his house and said to<br \/>\n   him, \u201cWe\u2019re leaving and there is room for you<br \/>\n   in our car, please come with us!\u201d But the man<br \/>\n   declined. \u201cI have faith that God will save me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>   As the man stood on his porch watching the<br \/>\n   water rise up the steps, a man in a canoe<br \/>\n   paddled by and called to him, \u201cHurry and get<br \/>\n   in my canoe, the waters are rising quickly!\u201d<br \/>\n   But the man again said, \u201cNo thanks, God will<br \/>\n   save me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>   The floodwaters rose higher pouring water into<br \/>\n   his living room and the man had to retreat to<br \/>\n   the second floor. A police motorboat came by<br \/>\n   and saw him at the window. \u201cWe will come up<br \/>\n   and rescue you!\u201d they shouted. But the man<br \/>\n   refused, waving them off saying, \u201cUse your<br \/>\n   time to save someone else! I have faith that<br \/>\n   God will save me!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>   The flood waters rose higher and higher and<br \/>\n   the man had to climb up to his rooftop.<\/p>\n<p>   A helicopter spotted him and dropped a rope<br \/>\n   ladder. A rescue officer came down the ladder<br \/>\n   and pleaded with the man, &#8220;Grab my hand and I<br \/>\n   will pull you up!&#8221; But the man STILL refused,<br \/>\n   folding his arms tightly to his body. \u201cNo thank<br \/>\n   you! God will save me!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>   Shortly after, the house broke up and the<br \/>\n   floodwaters swept the man away and he drowned.<\/p>\n<p>   When in Heaven, the man stood before God and<br \/>\n   asked, \u201cI put all of my faith in You. Why<br \/>\n   didn\u2019t You come and save me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>   And God said, \u201cSon, I sent you a warning. I<br \/>\n   sent you a car. I sent you a canoe. I sent you<br \/>\n   a motorboat. I sent you a helicopter. What more<br \/>\n   were you looking for?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been looking for help, what forms of help<br \/>\nhave you been ignoring?<\/p>\n<p>The Tapping World Summit has just ended. I hope you<br \/>\nwere able to take full advantage of this amazing free<br \/>\nten day online event. If you missed that boat, here&#8217;s<br \/>\nanother. You can still get all the recordings at a<br \/>\nbargain.<\/p>\n<p>  ->  <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1cLOBh3\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/1cLOBh3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The cool thing is that this week, the folks who<br \/>\nsponsored the Summit, Nick, Jessica, and Alex Ortner,<br \/>\nare donating 100% of the profits from the sale of those<br \/>\nrecordings to send &#8220;cars, boats, and helicopters&#8221; to<br \/>\nothers. Not literally&#8211;it&#8217;s a metaphor. I mean they are<br \/>\nspreading Tapping in an empowering model that helps<br \/>\npeople help themselves and others, all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s an inspiring video here that shows what they<br \/>\nare doing:<\/p>\n<p>  ->  <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1cLOBh3\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/1cLOBh3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This year I was smart and got the Summit recordings at<br \/>\nthe beginning, so I didn&#8217;t have to stress about missing<br \/>\na day. The transcripts and workbook were really helpful<br \/>\nto use as I listened. They are even more helpful now,<br \/>\nas I go back to pick up the couple of sessions I<br \/>\nmissed, and review my favorites. There were so many<br \/>\nthis year!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve committed to doing the 40 days of Tapping Jessica<br \/>\nsuggested in the wonderful &#8220;Bonus Day&#8221; to free myself<br \/>\nof all kinds of limiting beliefs I&#8217;ve been using<br \/>\nagainst myself, and I&#8217;m grateful for the audios to help<br \/>\nme stay on track.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to join me in this, let&#8217;s share our<br \/>\nsuccess and support here!<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, I think you&#8217;ll enjoy the video.
