Alice to the Cheshire Cat:“Would you tell me, please, which way

I ought to walk from here?”

“That depends a good deal on whereyou want to get to,” said the Cat

“I don’t much care where,” said Alice.

“Then it doesn’t matter which wayyou walk,” said the Cat.

“—so long as I get somewhere,” Aliceadded as an explanation .

“Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said theCat, “if you only walk long enough!”

It’s the Most Important

Question You’ll Ever Answer…

How will the world be affected when you leave the earth?

Oh sure, your friends and family will mourn and grieve. But beyond that…will the world really

notice?

What will your legacy be? The fingerprints of your life that you leave behind…what will they

look like? What will they mean? And to whom?

These questions are as deep as they are important. They have profound implications for your

life’s trajectory and the decisions you will make today. You must answer them. And you must

answer them right now.

Why? Well, because something inside your soul found this document. Something within you

drew you to this moment, this place, this vital decision. Nothing is random.

Maybe you’ve been looking for a way to volunteer and help children. Maybe you read about the

Whispers from Children’s Hearts Foundation in a magazine, attended one of my workshops,

or read my weekly column on travel and cultural connection in The Huffington Post.

Or maybe something inside has been longing to begin building your legacy and finding deeper

meaning, inner peace, and to start living the life you always dreamed of…the life you always

knew was possible but somehow always slipped from your grasp.

If so, the following pages will give you some of the answers you seek. Better still, you will learn

how to change your life—and the world—in just 14 days.

Sound impossible? It’s not.

I should know. As a Hollywood therapist, I’ve seen my clients follow the same path and achieve

transformational results, both for themselves and people all across our planet. From A-list

actors, to top Hollywood producers, to screenwriters, to top CEOs and executives, I’ve seen

people of all backgrounds enrich their life’s journey by learning to see the world and their lives

through a new, more pure prism.

You can too. Let’s make it happen. Let’s start right now.

Expect Miracles,

Do You Suffer From“Comfort Addiction”?Even before I founded the Whispers from Children’s Hearts Foundation to provide therapeutic and psychological services to children in war-torn and impoverished countries, I began to notice something peculiar in my private practice as a Hollywood therapist.

Clients, often wildly successful in their entertainment careers, would come to me and say, “Lisa, I’m miserable. My kids hate me, my spouse hates me, and…well, I hate me! I’m at the top of my professional success and at the bottom of my personal joy. What gives? What’s wrong with me?”

By any reasonable standard these clients were “successful.” They have more money than they could spend in a lifetime, they have healthy and attractive bodies and minds, and they live a life of luxury that few will ever experience. And yet. They lack happiness, inner peace, and most of all meaning.

What they suffer from is something that many of us suffer from, and that’s what I like to call “Comfort Addiction.”

We have become paralyzed by comfort and ease.Do you realize that, according to the World Bank, 80 percent of the world’s inhabitants live on less than $10 a day?

Think about that.

That’s less than $3,650 a year.

The average American? According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average individual American worker makes $32,140.00.

You work hard. So do I. But the truth is we live at a standard that most of the world cannot even imagine.

What If So Muchof What You ThinkMatters… Doesn’t?

For example, according to Newsweek magazine, 60% of the continent of Africa does not even have electricity.

I walk in a room and flip a switch and don’t think twice about it. You probably do the same. But for 60% of an entire continent, refrigeration, air conditioning, reading lamps, and computer or telephone services are a rare or nonexistent experience.

Let your mind marinate on that thought for a moment: an entire population who has never heard a dial tone, clicked a mouse, or felt cool air blow across their face.

Now, when confronted with these facts and realities, many people say, “Listen, I know I’m blessed. And you’re right; I probably take things for granted. But I can’t do anything to help those people. The world isn’t fair. And by some twist of cosmic fate I won the geographical lottery and got to be born in an affluent society.”

Here’s what I say to that: you’re missing the point.

It’s not the world’s poor who need our enlightenment. It’s we who need their wisdom. They have much

to teach us. But you can’t learn what you don’t experience.

“A jewel that never leaves the mine is never polished.”

Let me explain by sharing with you the words of wisdom I heard from a child during one of the Whispers from Children’s Hearts Foundation’s travel missions.

During one of our trips we visited an orphanage in Peru for deaf children. Many of the kids came from very violent and dysfunctional families. After spending quality time with the children, we were able to gain their trust and share stories, eye-to-eye, heart-to-heart. With the help of our sign language expert and interpreter, I asked one little girl “Is God fair? Why or why not?”

“Yes,” she said in sign language. “Because we can go to church. We’re deaf, but it’s OK. He still loves us and helps us. We have things and food.” Sage and powerful words of gratitude and inner peace from a child who faces daunting physical and financial challenges.

The Answers AreNot Always In YourOwn Backyard…

I strongly believe that travel is a vital part of healing the wounds that rip people and our planet apart.

Sounds pretty strong, doesn’t it? But it’s true. I’m serious.

When we get outside ourselves and immerse ourselves in other cultures and learn other creeds, we realize that the chasm that separates cultures is largely based on unfounded fears, not facts. Let me share with you what Mark Twain had to say about the power of travel. Twain said:

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-

mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.

Isn’t that powerful? I love that. Twain was right. Travel IS fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness. The more we take time

to breathe the air others breathe, to eat the food (or lack thereof) that others eat, or to sleep on the grass mats that others sleep, the more we realize our one-ness. We are all connected. We all breathe... We all eat… We all laugh… Wealllookupatthesameinfinite starry sky and dream.

And that’s the point—travel bridges that which we THINK divides us.

I personally believe that the fractures and fault lines of our world are socially constructed. They are manmade. God did not create us to kill one another but to love and learn from one another. If

we could just realize how interconnected we all are spiritually I think we might all treat each other differently. And for that reason, as Mark Twain said, travel is supremely valuable in combating so much that afflicts our world.

But it’s more than that. When we travel we learn something about ourselves. And those lessons will open up mental and spiritual vistas within yourself

that you never knew existed. Traveling to other places can teach you things about yourself you can hardly fathom. You’ll discover new labyrinths of love hidden inside your heart. Traveling to experience and serve others is not only the adventure of a lifetime, it’s also the secret to curing the Comfort Addiction holding you back in your life, your business, and in realizing the fulfillment of your dreams.

So Now What?Nothing changes until something changes.

Read that again.

Inaction is the greatest stumbling block to personal growth, achievement, and success. If you want to improve your life—and, indeed, the world—in the next 14 days, you will have to take massive and immediate action. Doing nothing will do nothing. You have to resolve right now, right this very second, that after you finish reading these words you will give yourself the gift you deserve: a definitive and powerful first step on the path to the person you know you are inside but have never allowed yourself to be.

It’s time to invest in yourself by investing in the lives of others. It’s time to once and for all break your Comfort Addiction. It’s time to stop living inside a self-constructed prison of fear and to get outside yourself. See new things. Meet new people. Hear new languages. Serve and

learn to love new cultures and peoples. Bottom line: it’s time to start living. Really, really living. Not just existing but living. So what now?

Consider coming with the Whispers from Children’s Hearts Foundation on one of our upcoming “Adventure of Your Life” trips to assist us in administering psychological and therapeutic services to the children of our world. Don’t worry about whether you have a background in psychology.

We will train you.

Don’t worry about not knowing the language. We have translators. And most of all, don’t worry about getting

outside your comfort zone, because that’s where the blessings and miracles happen.

One of the things our fellow Whispers from Children’s Hearts Foundation travelers find so amazing about their journeys are the social connections and powerful bonds of community and friendship they develop with each other. We are a tribe of fellow travelers, both literally and spiritually. You will make lifelong bonds of kinship and “soul-ship” that will last long after we depart from our adventures together. So come join us!

We travel to places like Tanzania, Cambodia, and Peru providing children with the psychological healing they desperately need. But it never ceases to amaze me how those who join us on our Whispers from Children’s Hearts Foundation service trips end up saying that they were the ones whose souls benefited the most.
