LETTER FROM JOHN HARRICHARAN
-------------------------------------------------------

Dear Reader:

Before I continue, I want to wish all my readers a fantastic Year 2008. May each year be better than the one before. It is not what the year brings to us that's important, it's what we bring to the year.

Make sure you read the article, "Don't Just Sit There -- Ask." It is a bit longer than my regular articles, but it will challenge you to look at situations a bit differently.

There are some very important announcements, which you'll find in the section below called "Some Important Information". Please take a minute or so to go through that section.

One other thing before you get to the heart of this newsletter -- and this is extremely important: Yanni Maniates and Susan Apollon, two dear friends of mine, are offering a free teleseminar on Wednesday, Februray 20th. The topic is, "Intuition is Easy and Fun:The Art and Practice of Developing Your Natural-Born gift of Intuition." Please check it out right away. Click on the link below:

Heather O'Hara (known among our friends as poet laureate of the spiritual realms) just sent me a beautiful ebook that she wants me to give to each and every one as a special gift for Valentine's Day. Make sure you download your very own copy and, if you can, feel free to drop Heather a note to tell her how much you appreciate her gift.

The title of the ebook is, "Extraordinary Love, The Greatest Love Poems Ever Written." What an appropriate name for a beautiful, Valentine's day gift. Here's the download link:

Extraordinary Love, The Greatest Love Poems Ever Written

Thank you. Now on to the newsletter.

QUOTES TO REMEMBER
-------------------------------------------------------

"Every moment of your life is infinitely creative and the universe is endlessly bountiful. Just put forth a clear enough request, and everything your heart desires must come to you."
-- Shakti Gawain

"Many things are lost for want of asking."
-- English Proverb

ARTICLE: "Don't Just Sit There -- ASK"
-------------------------------------------------------

A John Harricharan Article

Many years ago, I was sitting with a number of top executives in a business meeting. We were discussing the possibilities of getting more customers. The thought came to me that we should call Jim, a certain competitor, and ask him if he would send us some of his extra business. The thought seemed so ridiculous that I didn't even voice it. What? Ask a competitor for business? It was too far-fetched to consider.

A week later at a trade meeting, I bumped into Jim. We talked for a little while about our various businesses and then I did a strange thing. I asked him if he had any extra business that he couldn't handle at the present time. I told him that we had some excess capacity at the plant and would be willing to help him out.

Jim looked at me and smiled. "I wish you had asked me that last week," he said. "You see, John, we recently acquired two new, large accounts, but we didn't want to lose some of our smaller accounts. We are working over capacity right now. We wanted to give some of the excess work to another company that had the capability of handling them."

Jim shook his head and continued. "I thought of calling you folks to ask whether you wanted some extra business. Before I could make the call, I got sidetracked with other things and forgot about it for a day or two. Then, a few days ago, Marty from XYZ Corporation called and asked if we had any contracts that they could help us out with. I was only too happy to agree. I wish you had asked me sooner."

Yes, I, too, wished I had just ASKED. For many reasons we are reluctant to ask for what we want. The feelings are complex as to why we hesitate to ask for help when we need it most. I, too, have faced situations where I'd rather walk a thousand miles than ask for help. Perhaps, it is human nature, but I really don't know.

I do know, however, that many times the difference between success and failure is the simple act of asking. And who do we ask? And how? This is where the secret lies. An old man once said to me, "Go to God first, and then to man as God directs." The first place to turn to is the Invisible Force that pervades the universe. Some call this Force God. Others call it "All That Is" or Jehovah or many other different names.

We ask in the quiet of our hearts. If we listen carefully, we are led to ask the right person. And if we do this with a confident heart, believing that we deserve the support of the universe, we'd be amazed at the results. With strange turns and with mysterious means we're led to the answer we seek.

Learn to ask for help. Ask in the silence of your soul first, and then ask the person you feel led to. That person could be a friend, a family member, a minister, a counselor, a business associate or even a total stranger. Sometimes help comes from strange places, but it's help and guidance just the same.

Our world seems to be moving at a faster pace than ever before. Changes seem to come upon us with lightning speed. But that is one of the laws of the universe. Change will always come into our lives. It's how we deal with it that's important. If we meet change with confidence and trust, we'll find the strength, courage and support to adapt, adjust and welcome change. Hope does shine all around.

There are times when events seem to catch up with us and we find ourselves at the end of our rope. Worse, there appears to be nowhere to turn, no help available, no rest for the weary. Do not be deceived by what appears to be. There is an ancient saying, "Ask and ye shall receive."

Whatever the times seem to be, whatever problems we face, whatever difficulties we imagine in our minds, let us remember that there is always a way out. Let us remember that we are children of the universe with all the gifts of the universe at our disposal. Let us ask the universe for what we need and we'll be guided to someone who will be the answer to our problem. Just don't sit there -- ASK!

MORE QUOTES TO REMEMBER

"He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever."
-- Chinese Proverb

"The biggest reason you don't get answers is that you haven't asked the questions."
-- Richard Bach

"Prepare yourself for that which you are seeking. Know that what you are seeking is also seeking you. Know that the forces of the universe will rush in to bring that which you want, provided of course, you want it badly enough and believe that you can get it -- or better yet, deserve it."
-- John Harricharan

SOME IMPORTANT INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------------

These are three very important announcements. Please read them all:

1) I have known Jody Colvard and Declan Dunn for well over ten years and have always found them to be two of the kindest, most knowledgeable people I have ever known. Every once in a while, they honor me by asking me to speak at one of their special seminars.

Not long ago, Jody, while working on a secret, 3-Year Internet project, came upon an accidental discovery called "The 7-Hour Miracle." When she told me about it, I was totally amazed. Find out about "The 7-Hour Miracle" at:

http://www.7hourmiracle.com/spirit

If you have any questions, you could reach Jody by telephone at: 800-470-4982. tell her I said, "Hello"

2) For years I've been a guest at Yanik Silver's Underground Seminars. It's one of the few seminars that I attend. It is generally a sold out event weeks (or months) before it occurs. This year, it is being held in Los Angeles in March and I will again be attending. If any of you will be attending or plan to attend, please let me know. I'd love to meet you and, perhaps, even have a cup of coffee or tea with you. The complete information is at (it's fun just watching the page):

3) On the 26th of February, I'll tell you about a very important book, which could change your life forever. I wanted to tell you about it today, but the author and his staff are preparing the website for the February 26th launch. I've promised them that I'll wait until that day to tell you about it so, please keep an eye on your mailbox on that day. It's a special book you'd want to read over and over again.

POEM: "I Am Part of All That's Good"
-------------------------------------------------------

by Anna L. Derschell

In moments rare there comes to me
A vision unexpected;
I clearly see within my soul
The Universe reflected.
I am a part of all that's good
I feel, I know no limit;
The God in all stands forth so clear,
No fancied ills can dim it.

No matter what life future hours
May hold of earthborn sadness,
I know there comes to me the Truth
A heritage of gladness
That far transcends all grosser things--
I've caught the vision glorious:
We are a part of all that's good,
And good shall be victorious.
