Life’s Golden Ticket Revealed!

1. Mrs. Barbara Stevens

   Loving yourself helps others to love you better.

   My Golden Ticket advice is through love God has given us life everyday that you wake up you have been given another chance to first love yourself; then pass that love to another person. You don’t have to fall in love with a stranger in order to pass that Godly love to another; you can greet them with a smile and a nice hello; that could be the best medicine that anyone may need. You can see someone in need and offer help; if you dont want to give money you can take into a restuarant and pay for a meal; someone may be cold you have dozens of coats at home so you can offer yours; I seen this happen a young man was having problems at home, walking down the street with nothing to eat and no shoes. My daughter’s boyfriend gave him his boots for his feet and she came and made him a plate so that he could eat. This was on July 4, 2010, we were having a little comment. Life is build on Love without it we are bound for destruction. I believe the violence, killings etc is because the lack of love in this county and abroad. Let’s love again please.

   Life’s Golden Ticket is our opportunity in life to make a positive impact on society. When you are given life, it should be your obligation to make the most out of it. You must learn from the past in order to make changes for the future. You must love unconditionally, and always do what you feel is right. You must live your life to the fullest, have fun and continue to grow and explore. You must always follow your dreams, and never give up so when it’s your “time to go”, you know you’re leaving feeling accomplished.

   Brendon,
   I have to admit to you I haven’t yet read “Life’s Golden Ticket” yet. However, when I heard you speak on the recent teleseminar with Steve H. I was completely resonating with what you were saying. In a nutshell, my golden ticket has been to be on life purpose which gets detailed because I do life purpose readings for folks. Also, I’ve created a personal growth program call Reimaging:Transforming Your Life by Re-Inventing Yourself at http://www.reimaging.com/.

   I feel like life offers to us the opportunity to confront, change and thereby overcome tons of our unwanted patterns multiple times per day if one is paying attention or aware of this. Every little nuance about life from what one would call seeing something in the road on your way home, (waking dream), to an actual night dreams, to things folks say to me and ways I see myself, each becomes a fantastic opportunity to let go of old limiting beliefs,patterns etc. and become someone new everyday. That is what is meaningful to me along with helping others do the same with my program and other brief therapy techniques.

   There have been many long lasting challenges where I felt stuck myself and needed to move from point A to point B. I have also helped a number of other folks make this shift as well. I use my program as a vehicle and help from other sources with a holistic approach to overcome the many waves of life and stay up on my surf board as much as possible. This all makes for a very fulfilling life for me already.

   I’ve also noticed it’s about balance. Yes there’s lots of work and I get to experience lots of love,thrills, gratitude and fun too along the way as long as I’m clearing my internal “stuff” to get back to a present state of joy.

   Looking forward to hearing you at the seminar in September and by then perhaps will have read your book. It sounds very motivating.

   Blessings,
   Santosha

   Great messages here in the 2 videos, powerful! Your message is very heartfelt all through, and the book is very good! I was a little reluctant when I saw it was a story, I usually read a lot of non-fiction, so I let the book sit for a few weeks before being guided to read it . . . perfect timing!!

   Thanks,
   John

   Great book! I especially liked the quote which was something along the lines of “deep skills cause deep ruts”. I hadn’t given that concept any thought before now. I had a few criticisms such as the objectionable, rough language but overall, this book is well-written. It can be disturbing enough to provoke real questions and emotional turmoil. To me, Life’s Golden Ticket is to stop using other people and the past as an excuse for our own behavior. All of that negativity is a reason, not an excuse. Thank you, Brendon!

   Hi Brendon,

   Thanks again my friend for this inspiration and reminder why we are here today on mother Earth!

   You always inspire me with your words of wisdom and truth….thank you so much!

   greetings from the Netherlands…..

   Brendon, After spending twenty years locked up in the bottle, I can truely appreciate the value of a second chance. I know what you’re talking about with Life’s Golden Ticket, and I feel the passion with which you share it. Four years ago my life changed and it had very little to do with me. I believe I was being looked after by my creator, or God, or whatever you conceive it to be. Life’s golden ticket for me- the gifts we were all given at birth give us the power to live a joyous and productive life. It is the power of choice that gives us the experience we need to make that happen. It has taken the experience I’ve received from the choices I’ve made to reveal these simple truths. It is in the giving that we receive, not the other way around. That no person can sincerely help another without helping himself. That anger and resentments are the number one offender that lead to my poor choices and negative impact on others. That yesterday is gone and tomorrow is promised to no one, so what am i going to do today to make a difference. Mohandas Gandhi said it best,”become the change you wish to see in the world.” Today i’m able to live a life full of gratitude, i’m able to share with those around me. And strangely enough,Experts Academy was presented to me just when I needed it. I’m very thankful to you for creating it. It has been and still is very inspiring, and the step i needed to get to the next level. Righ now is the time I would write “God Bless You”, but I know that he already has, and i’m grateful for that too.

   Wow, Brendon, what a ‘winning’ ticket! And such a beautiful invitation to share our thoughts!

   Oh my God, I was SO struck by the wording of your invitation to share

   “…. your thoughts on

   WHAT WE ALL NEED TO HEAR AS A REMINDER TO GET US TO LIVE TO OUR FULL POTENTIAL….”,

   because IT RELATES EXACTLY TO WHAT I AM EXPLORING RIGHT NOW FOR PARENTS!!! (I have organized, and am hosting a free tele-summit called the “Full-Potential Parenting Summit”, at http://www.fullpotentialparentingsummit.com. As an aside, I am starting to think about how I might be able to get sponsors!).

   This comment feed is amazing…thank you everyone…I need to find a way to connect this to the parents I am serving…hmmm….Got it – I will create a link on my site that connects to this site….stay posted…

   Oh yes, my idea of Life’s Golden Ticket?

   “You are unique and special – yes, you really are, in every way!
   You have been born with unique gifts and talents.
   You possess a special kind of Light that only you can shine.
   And you have come with a capacity to give and receive Love.

   Discover, nourish and share your gifts, your Light and your Love.

   This may take some hard work, some discipline, and perhaps even some pain.

   And BE OPEN to the gifts, the guiding Light and the Love of others.

   This can save you some pain! ”

   Blessings,
   Anushka

    Brendon,

    Life’s Golden Ticket is a very creative example of psychotherapy. Was the basis of the book from personal experience or someone you knew?

    To me, “Life’s Golden Ticket” is identifying, acknowledging, and honoring our life’s purpose. I believe each of us are born with a very special and unique purpose, a reason for being here – and it is encoded into our DNA. (In fact there is recent scientific research that points to this.) Most people don’t know or are not aware of their purpose. We are not encouraged at a young age to identify our purpose – the reason we came to this planet at this time in history. However, I believe the first step toward a life of happiness, success, and fulfillment is to get clear on why you are here.

    You and I are spiritual beings who have come into this world to have a human experience. Each of us is born with an internal guidance system that tells us when we are on or off course by the amount of joy we are experiencing in our lives. So, your Golden Ticket is your joy.

    Life’s Golden Ticket to success, happiness and fulfillment is to figure out what it is you love to do, what is it that gives you the greatest joy as young as you can and then organize your life around figuring out how to make a living doing it!

    Realize that income is the outcome of the value you provide to others. Focus on what you can give, and remember value is determined by the receiver. The Law of Cause and Effect will reciprocate.

    When I read this I smiled….

    I Left UK and went to Barbados for a trip- Upon arrival I got a call from my dad back in UK telling me my 4year old brother just died…

    I was in UK heading to the USA to be ordained as a Reverend… When I was there I got news that my best mate in Barbados had died of Cancer…

    Love TODAY/ Forgive today/ Go to sleep with love in your heart and kindness in your thoughts – Tomorrow might surprise you.

    May ALL your tomorrows be filled with laughter/ may all your todays be filled with fulfilled promises/ May you keep your word and make that call or pay that Visit…[ One day you will thank me for this message or Hate me for it... what you do will determine your destiny]

    Lifes golden Ticket is being in touch with one’s spiritual self – after 50 years of no-holds-barred attempts at having a fulfilled life which was wrecked with bad relationships and serial redundancies in the end – My spiritual transformation, which did not happen overnight, has gradually completely transformed my life. Everything started to fall into place for me as well as the bonus of feeling inner peace.
    Now been with husband 15 years, I have travelled the world & I am embarking on an exciting new career, which I hope will make a difference -at 65!
    Thank you Brendan – I enjoy your web seminars enormously.

14. diane, aged 65

    Lifes golden ticket is ‘being in touch with one’s spiritual self’.
    I spent 55 years trying to acheive the life I wanted – but it was a series of mistakes other than some educational acheivement. my life looks good on paper. it does not include the broken marriages, serial redundancies etc.
    Once in touch with my spiritual self , everything changed – I live, like I have never lived before, I love & am loved (been with husband 15 years) and am embarking on a new and exciting career which I hope will make a difference in more ways than one.

15. diane

    I have spent 65 years trying very hard to have the life I wanted- on paper I was very successful – but nothing really happened that was significant (bad relationships, redundancies etc) until I was in touch with my spiritual self – then all the rest quickly followed naturally including really Living, really Loving( and being loved) and Making a difference

16. Nicole Hoffmann

    Hi Brendon!

    First of all thank you for your messages and for your e-mails! I am right now developing my platform (I am a spiritual writer) , and I find that you have really, really good ideas! Thank you again! Back to your question: what is Life’s Golden Ticket? For me it is our intuition, our inner voice. We are never alone! We have 24/7 guidance from Heaven. There are many angels helping us to make earth a better world! You are also a very powerful lightworker, who helps people to get their healing message into the world. God bless you, and please share your message with lot of people also in the future!

17. Akbar

    Dear Brendon;

    As English is not my mother tongue, I stole the best paragraph from dear Gabriele L.Grach’s reply, which best reflects my impression and appreciation of your ideas, attitude to life, and goals:
    ‘The precious gift that I got, among many many others, was to be present in your exhilarating presence. Your fabulous energy, extraordinary goodwill, outstanding professionalism and heart felt and genuine humanity touched me deeply, inspired me greatly, and gave me much hope; not just for myself, but for future generations who will be blessed to be influenced by you.’

    For this, I’m certainly indebted to Gabriele.

    Now, as a 57-year-old Iranian Azerbaijani living in Tehran, I have been watching life and Man’s destiny since I was a kid in an extremely impoverished family of an unschooled wretched porter in Tabriz. I have been observing the class struggle and class injuries in our dictatorship-ridden and coup d etat-stricken country gripped between the Western capitalism and Eastern socialism in terms of both economics and politics as well as security-wise in an unstable region as the Middle East. With all the hopes tied to democracy smashed by imperialism and the ones tied to egalitarianism of the East shattered by the collapse of the Soviets, my people tied their hopes to the spirituality of their religion, which in turn was soon converted to international terrorism by the warmongers and merchants of death all over the world whose counter-cultural objectives are to destroy all national identities, manipulate international borders, enslave nations by spreading and legalizing unbridled sex, homosexuality, extremist feminism, use of various narcotics, genocides in Africa and elsewhere in the world, the destruction of family as the smallest unit of social unity and security, etc.

    In such harsh and painful circumstances where human dignity is systematically being buried under so much crime against humanity and all established religions and traditions are intentionally mocked and spoiled to alienate people from their families, homelands, and value judgment systems, and make them cruel and indifferent towards their fellow-citizens and fellow-creatures, it is certainly clear that there must emerge an appalling vacuum of ideology and spirituality so badly needed by men everywhere.

    Just how viable and feasible solutions to such a huge tragedy could result from discussions and arguments in favor of the golden ticket, is still a mystery to me. I know I’ll soon be accused of being an unbeliever, yet I have, and in fact everybody has the right to ask for the validity and reliability of claims made to the effect that we were born to choose. But the facts and figures speak otherwise: for hundreds of years the gap between poor nations and rich ones has been widening, every year tens of thousands of the most educated and developed young men and women are directly and indirectly motivated or forced to leave their less developed countries for more advanced countries in search of better life and more democratic environment. The financial institutions in their countries are sending their national revenues to European and American banks to pay their never-ending debts or to purchase weapons to kill their own people or defend themselves against artificially created enemies who are also customers of the same arms-producing companies in the so-called developed world.

    Dear Brendon, where is the golden ticket of the Rwandan or Ethiopian defenseless men, women, and children slaughtered in the tribal clashes instigated by the Western merchants of death and merciless politicians serving freemasonry and racist organizations? Where were the golden tickets of about 3000 residents or workers of the twin towers who were pulverized by the criminal attacks plotted and conducted by their own security system to justify invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq and transportation of so many armed forces to the Middle East.
    Of course, I do understand that it is not a safe world and the competition to control the oil-rich region of the Persian Gulf or silicon-rich Africa or the poppy-rich Afghanistan and copper-rich Chile, etc. is indispensable. But just what happens to the golden ticket that the Creator has slipped into the soul pocket of a young American soldier who has to give into the pressures of a pedophile in a barracks oceans away from home or of a mind-controlled suicide attacker who thinks he would save the world by blowing up a crowd in a bazaar or holy shrine? Or where are the golden tickets of millions of Afghan is and Pakistanis whose wrecked nests have been being bombarded by their own air forces and those of the so-called coalition forces for not knowing where the hell Ben Laden. Yes, Brendon, the Golden ticket is in the soul pockets of those who do know where Ben Laden is and are now enjoying a happy and comfortable life (shitting on high cotton) in their own countries laughing at the poor people killed and maimed everyday and at the US and UN soldiers who are killing and maiming them everyday.

    Still, I wish you good luck in proving your optimism justified.

    Spirit is It.

    Your spirit.

    The source of life, and the divinely sparked impulse to serve out the inside impulse of this great spark.

    The meeting place of this divine impulse and the rubber hitting the road with inspired action — this is life’s golden ticket. Simple in principle, delightfully, magically evasive in action, totally doable in this life…for anyone.

    As you have demonstrated.

    Much Love,
    - Satya

    I love the golden ticket!!! It is always a good thing to take a few minutes a day and focus on positive quotes like the “Golden Ticket!” This allows you to be more objective and balanced. I believe we are here because “Spirit” can only know itself through us. There is no judgment, right or wrong. it just is according to ancient philosophy. It is only when we are caught in the Fear Trap manifested by the ego that we forget who we are. Can you explain how a tree becomes a tree or how a flower becomes a flower? No . . . because there are mysteries in Nature and they will remain that way. This makes life magical and fun! I like how Mike Dooley who wrote Inifinite Possibilites thinks: “We are playing a game of hide and seek but because we are playing the game so well, we have forgotten that it is just a game!” I say life is a game to be played and not won! So be enlightened (allowing the light from within to guide you) which comes from just letting go! One last thing, I know that when I follow my intuition I am always guided in the right direction. We have not been left behind on this earth without a GPS system and that GPS system is your heart intelligence. I follow my heart and I am successful because of this. At the end of the movie Key Largo, Humphrey Bogart says, as he stands on the pier overlooking the ocean, “Da head always loses!” You can take that to the bank, so listen to the GPS of your soul and you will always be guided in the right direction. – Cody Horton

    Einstein said there was one fundamental question each and everyone should ask:
    Is the universe friendly?
    My suggestion: after stating a very clear YES to that question you go out and live accordingly.

21. Kristen

    It is never too late to begin again, and again and again. We are here to learn life’s lessons and there is no one way to do that. If we are stuck on a path going in circles, there is no reason not to step off that path, even when we do not know what is next. When we are spinning, everyone around us is affected, when we are growing, everyone around us is affected as well.

22. Narelle Wilkinson

    As I write this, I have just finished reading Life’s Golden Ticket, and I thank God for the book and the man that wrote it. I ask myself how did he know my story so well and write it so eloquently. My rediscovered Golden Ticket is bright, shiny and as good as new and ready to be fully utilised for the first time in many years.
    My Golden Ticket will be about my new journey, one filled with love, joy, peace, grace, happiness, prosperity and discovery.
    I wish the same for all of you reading this.

23. david

    Hello,

    Like many things in life–there are many variations, versions and opinions…much of the time leading to “over kill” of a subject–over analyzing it, over thinking it and over anything it.

    One of my favorite tv quotes is from a program called “Six Feet Under” in which one character asks: “Why do people have to die?” and the response is: “To make life more important”. (I think this is pretty close to what was said).

    I think they summed it up beautifully in two lines of dialogue. Make your life important/meaningful to you and that “ticket” extends to others.

    All the other aspects such as love, giving, forgiving, gratitude and so on fit beautifully under this umbrella.

24. Laura Winslow

    I believe we all share a common mission in life, which is to nurture and care for our selves and learn the true meaning of self-love. Only then can we truly love and care for others. That is when we can really reach out and bring forth our gifts to make the world a better place, and to be of service to others.

25. Sally Hite

    Hi Brandon,

    Life’s golden ticket forced me to think about life, and how many road blocks we set up for ourselves. That really becomes the excuse to keep us living a life of mediocre, lifeless dreams. We need to stand and BELIEVE that we humans are Amazing, each and everyone of us have gifts to share. Believe and be that you want to see in the world. Be grateful for all paths that you have endured, they are preparing you for greatness. Know that every path begins with a step. Open your hearts, find your desire and follow it. Don’t multi task, that will only get in the way. Focus on what you want. Thank you Brandon for your contribution and direction, in creating a manual to help us understand. Today, begin a new journey with the end in mind.
    1. Did I live?
    2. Did I love?
    3. Did I Matter?

26. Alan Ong

    Hi Brendon,

    Thank you for your wonderful stuffs.
    To add on, much has been said about finding one’s purpose or mission in life in order to live a fruitful and eventful life…And truthfully, how many people know what is their purpose & mission in life? Most are still searching…
    To me, the purpose of life is a life of purposes and the mission of life is a life of missions – that’s my Life’s Golden Ticket.

27. David L Henderson

    Brendon, you asked us to comment on the meaning of life. I could direct you to buy my 6-vol treatise on the meaning of life, except I haven’t written it yet. In the meantime, here’s a piece of it:

    Love your neighbor as yourself.

    Of course, that is only helpful if you know what “love” means. My personal definition, cobbled together after decades of listening to preachers and teachers around the country, is this: Love is an attitude (not an emotion!) of willingness to give of yourself and your resources to meet the needs of another. Boil all that down to a two word definition: “Love” means meeting needs.

    I could leave it at that, but I’m not going to. I don’t know if you read this stuff yourself or if you have an assistant who weeds out the crazies, in which case maybe your assistant will see some of the following before it hits the shredder, but as long as I’m deluding myself that I have Brendon Burchard’s attention, I can’t waste such an opportunity as this.

    If I were sick, I’d appreciate someone offering to drive me to the doctor’s office, or pick up my medicine at the drugstore, or pick up dinner for the kids while I took a nap. But right now, I’m not sick. But someone around me is sick, or hungry, or lonely. Loving my neighbor is as simple as reaching out to do for them what I’d like them to do for me if I were in their shoes. I can’t change the world, but I can help the next guy out.

    “What if you don’t love yourself?” There have been times in my life, lots of time, in fact, when I thought, and said, that I hated myself. Of course, I didn’t really hate myself. I may have hated my job, or my boss, or my wife (previous wife; I love!!! my current wife). In fact, what I hated were the bad decisions I had made that brought me to such a lousey place in life. I didn’t atually hate myself. I wasn’t standing in the rain trying to die of pneumonia! I was actually trying to take care of myself. I ate food that I liked, slept in a warm bed, watched really enjoyable TV shows (hours on end!). So my advice for those who “don’t love themselves?” Think about this: If you’re cold, do you put on a sweater? Then find somebody who’s cold, and give them a sweater. It’s that simple.

    We are put on this earth to be God’s family; that relationship was interfered with, and now God is on a search-and-rescue mission. Each of us who return to the family are commissioned to go out and rescue somebody else. “Love your neighbor as yourself” is the battle cry of the rescue mission.

    Sorry, but it’s your own fault; you hadda ask!

    Love and blessings,
    Dave

28. Sheri Moline

    Never give up belief in yourself and what you can achieve even in Life’s darkest momets. Set your goals and know where you are headed and Never, Ever look to someone else for your success, and Never blame someone else for your failures. Look only within yourself.

29. Dream Warrior Jenni P

    Go deep and you lose all separation,
    Hold your nerve and you cross each boundary,
    Get sacred in your love and the numbers will distort,
    where else in the worl Beloved does One an One make Three?

    Perfect peace and Passionate Purpose lie in this ‘wholy geomtry’ composed by my beloved.

30. Cindy L. Herb

    Brendon,
    I love your message. It is the same as mine, although we look at it from different perspectives. When I was only 9 years old, I was raped. Because of that trauma, I felt alone and isolated all my life. However, several years ago, I had a realization and EVERYTHING changed for me. What was that realization? It was that I no longer had to be haunted or burdened by events of the past…that if I wanted to change my attitude, I could. It was a choice. Furthermore, God, the Creator, the universe, our spirit (whatever you choose to call the divine) has always been with me and always will be with me. The spirit of God is inside me and wants only the best for me. I am never alone. No one is ever alone because the spirit is everywhere and that means it is WITHIN each of us. Because of this realization, I was able to release destructive emotions and move forward in my life.

    I have just had my first book published (Awakening the Spirit: The Open Wide Like a Floozy Chronicles) and I hope to inspire others that there is a way to find joy despite any adversity. I realize that the spirit speaks to each of us differently, giving us what WE need to succeed. It is never about comparison with others…we all have our own journey.

    My mission is to spread joy and hope throughout the world…for I know that each life touches another. If we choose to promote the constructive attributes of love, understanding, compassion, honor, honesty and humility, others can be touched by that message and hopefully, choose to spread the same message to others. In this small way, I hope to spread light, displacing the darkness in the world.

    Thanks for your wonderful contribution to the world and universe! I am so happy to know you!
    Cindy L. Herb

31. Nick Garcia

    Loved the ticket’s message Brendon, as always, you never disappoint, thank you! Here are my thoughts on life’s golden ticket:
    All you can do is look forward to the unknown. If life was a game of knowing what’s
    going to happen, then it would be like watching a movie you’ve already seen.
    There are THREE kinds of people in this world:
    -The cynics who believe they know what will happen in each situation, and the outcome
    will be poor. Sometimes they are right, sometimes they are surprised. Often they are
    mildly perturbed when things go well, as crazy as that sounds.
    -The dreamers who believe that they know the outcome of every situation, and if they just
    think positively, it will always be a perfect outcome. Rubbish. They are often
    disappointed.
    -The folks who are looking forward to the unknown: These are the people who,
    regardless of the outcome, good, bad, or indifferent, are LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!

32. Alexis

    Life’s Golden Ticket should be told to the youngest person and to the oldest person, it should be given to youth, very earlier on in life, and explained that you get “ONE TICKET” in life, the Ticket is Golden scheduled with a destination on it, however, dumb choices, lack of discipline, and stinking thinking could tarnish the ticket, change it’s color and could be mistaken by the wrong person to take you to the wrong destination.
    Life’s Gold Ticket should be savored, protected, and positioned to towards the God Given Destiny everyone has been given.

33. Carmen

    Brandon,
    I love the idea of the golden ticket! And thanks for putting it on here for printing…I coach a group of pre-teens at a Boys & Girls Club in NYC that are not fortunate enough to have role models/mentors that inspire them so I printed the golden ticket on nice parchment paper & laminated it for each of them (25) so they could read it every single day to remind themselves that “yes we can.” Thanks so much for doing what you do & thanks for the golden ticket.

    God bless,
    Carmen

34. Tammy Erdel

    Life’s Golden Ticket was another powerful reminder that we are here to live fully present in who we are, not to be swayed by judgement or criticism, but to follow our heart and the guidance we receive if we listen for it.

    It was also a reminder that we all have our own way, our own path, that we should not judge others because we do not know their past, we have not lived their life. I believe we all do the best that we know how in the moment! Let go of any hurt, anger, frustration and take responsibility for your own life! You control your life – not someone else!

    To feel love and joy is to know that we are living our life fully and following our destiny. We all have a gift and a contribution to this world, not to be measured by each other. There is no limit in our abilities, fear is our only limit, which we have learned our entire lives. Let fear go and start believing in this world and yourself! LISTEN to those that have lived before you, have experienced what you are experiencing, and can teach you through their own lessons as their life in this world comes to a close.

    No more excuses – no more blaming someone else – no more feeling sorry for yourself! Time to start living YOUR life – you are in control – time to find gratitude and give back through living a fully present joyful life! That example is the best gift you could give anyone!!!!

35. Paz

    Hi Brendon!
    That books means a lot to me right now. I’m in a strange moment of my life, thinking constantly about the choices I’ve made, the way I want to be, and what I can get what I want. And that book really helps me to understand that it doesn’t matter what I’ve done, that past is in the past, but it really matters what can I do from now on, to mend the things I did wrong, and make smile the people I love..I’m in this word for a reason, a good one I think, so I should think in a possitive way, to bring good things to my life.

    THANK YOU, WITH ALL MY SOUL, THANK YOU!

36. Brendon Burchard

    Wow! That’s SO beautiful Deb! Thank you for your caring of this young man, and for spreading the message of Life’s Golden Ticket. This kind of compassion can change the world; and indeed you changed this man’s world forever. God bless, Brendon

37. Deb Bowen

    I printed out the ticket – front and back – laminated it and gave it to a high school exchange student from Bangladesh. I work with a non-profit organization that helps these kids have a great host family experience, great school and community. This particular boy had a birthday today and has been experiencing severe depression for the past two weeks. He was a twin and his brother died at birth so he has struggled with survivor’s guilt all of his life.

    I put the ticket in his birthday card and then I had a beautiful box with lovely ribbons on it setting on the table in the restaurant. As he opened the card, I asked him to read your Golden Ticket out loud. He did and as he finished he had tears in his eyes. Then I told him I wasted 28 years of my life angry at my father for his alcoholism and bad behavior. Then one day I had a crises and needed God desperately. As He forgave me, I was able to forgive both my earthy father and heavenly Father for the past. I finally found both peace and purpose.

    I asked this boy to look at the beautifully wrapped present on the table and think of it for a moment as the gift of life God gives us. He wouldn’t dream of not opening the gift I gave him for his birthday – why let depression or guilt rob him of opening the much BIGGER GIFT – his gift of life.

    I got the biggest smile and the biggest hug – - not because my gift was so good but because you gave me the tools to help him “get it”.

    Thank you Brendon!

    Thank you for your beautiful message Paula! — Brendon

    Muchas veces nos hace falta tener un “Henry” cerca para que nos ayude a ver que está en nuestras manos cambiar y hacer q nuestra vida sea maravillosa. Por eso, le estoy muy agradecida al autor de este libro ya que para mi ha sido como mi “Henry” particular y me ha ayudado a darme cuenta de que mirar al pasado no siempre beneficia. También tengo la sensación de que el protagonista, al final del libro, vive un reencuentro con su pasado, pero de una manera muy distinta a como lo vive dentro del parque. Y eso es algo muy importante a tener en cuenta en nuestro día a día. Los padres no son perfectos y cometen errores como cualquier ser humano. Nos hacen mucho daño con sus actos y éstos nos condicionan por el resto de nuestras vidas. Es difícil, pero hay que saber enfrentarse a ello y dar una segunda oportunidad, porque ellos, por muchas cosas malas que hayan hecho, también la merecen… Asi que desde aquí invito a aquellas personas que puedan estar en una situación parecida a que les regalen un ticket dorado a sus padres distantes o desaparecidos y le den la oportunidad que todo el mundo merecemos… SOLO SE VIVE UNA VEZ, PERO A LO LARGO DE LA VIDA, NUNCA ES TARDE PARA LEVANTARSE, CURARSE LAS HERIDAS Y TENER OTRA OPORTUNIDAD DE VIVIR PLENAMENTE.

    Thank you, your book has made me draw some conclusions in a moment where I felt a bit lost and was not sure as to what to do…
    The golden ticket is a reminder that my life is mine and that no one can tell me what to do or what to think.
    Today I choose to help others, without expecting anything in return.
    Again, Thank You

    Dear Brendon,

    life´s golden ticket to me is made of two components that cannot exist without each other:

    #1) The discovery who I truly am and who we all truly are – at the deepest level of our being. I call it LIFE, this eternal and never ending process of being and becoming. Evolution is its nature. The whole universe has evolved from no-thing, just as you and I do with every breath we take, on and on and on …

    #2) The discovery that my joy in life and my felt security in life has shifted enormously through discovery #1. I always feel safe and secure, whatever happens to me. Because I know that from this deepest perspective of who I AM I can even stand the hardest pain and worst cruelty that I can think of. The reason is because I am not only Holger, this individual I, but I also always have another identity, which is just as true as the first one: It is my transpersonal (!) identity – I AM LIFE. I AM the creator.

    That to me is life’s golden ticket. It means that I had the privilege to awaken to this deepest understanding of who I am, who we all are, we are life and we are one – beneath all our different beliefs, cultures, races, sexes and behaviours.

    Love , Holger

    NB: Have seen you at Experts Academy in 2009. Want to contribute massively to my German people and become a famous event leader and author myself. Check me out on http://www.holgereckstein.de (videos!! )

    Brendon, your golden ticket sums it all up, and I wish everyone would realise that life really is what you make it. No-one but oneself is responsible… We are thrown many challenges in our life and it is up to us to make the noble choice. When we don’t then we get knocked down, and it is up to us to get up and try again. Eventually, adopting a positive attitude in the light of all challenges, we realise that our attitude determines the outcome.

    You know, I was just talking to a friend today about small things in life, that somehow seem unfair and unperdictable and the fact of life is YOU have to get up in the morning, you have to continue on your path. I have personally been through hell and needless to say I have learned through my hell, I had to question myself daily what my reason was for continuing on my path.
    Today, I have personal aches and pains and still committed to a playdate today with four children. I am sore, but I still push myself to not let anyone down.
    Is it easy? NO and somedays I feel as if I want to lay around all day and not do my housework, but then something tells me that I still have limbs and I still have a mind and I have to get off my butt and continue to live and love. I love to have fun with my daughters friends, I love to paint and I love to do crafts( I don’t get paid when kids are dropped off at my home) for a short time so the parent can go do some things that they need to do. I do it because I love to see my daughter light up when she knows a friend will be coming over. You have to find what makes you happy and what makes you continue on with your day.
    Looking back, if this will help you… my father was very ill when I was little, I knew this and I also had to accept it. He could never play with me like other children had in their lives, I didn’t have a father who was healthy, and young. I didn’t have a mother who was young… I had to go find out who I was on my own( this is why I don’t feel sorry for spolied people). Sorry if this offends in any way, but it’s true. You have to look deep within to find your own path and what you love.
    If someone truly hates the job they choose then get out, start all over. Find your way. I came from working in a factory job, then made a huge move out of the country to change who I was. If I had not done that, I would never have been able to adopt, and find my partner in life.
    When someone will complain about the job, the wife the husband… I have to say… what are you going to do to make it work? HOW are you going to ever be happy when you don’t know what you want in your life. I know because I have questioned everything in my life, and had to pick myself up and keep going, no matter how bad things got. Life about feeling happy and to find your happy you have to consult yourself and then act upon it.
    I believe God gets me through everyday and wake up calls are all around us. I have been “shy” in someways all my life because I was afraid to let my voice be heard, but now… I know my purpose.
    Thank you and I hope I can help someone reading this.

    What a great question! I, too, believe that creating your natural mission (s) in life provides your inherent direction to live of life authentic of purpose on purpose.

    Your purpose being that you create and empowering role (s) derived and created from your core values, “that which truly matters, is truly meaningful and important to you.” When these three elements are CLEAR to you, you begin to live a life of passion because out of CLARITY OF VALUES, CLARITY OF VISIONS AND CLARITY OF EMPOWERING ROLES falls a NATURAL MISSION (s)~and inherent direction and authentic purpose.

    That, which you, with the synergistic leverage of other like minded people, create to provide true service to mankind based on it’s their needs and the world based on it’s needs. Thus you contribute the highest value in an truly authentic manner, coming from that “essence” which is uniquely you.

    CLARITY, gratitude for, respect and reverence of this “gift” called life is key, and a true beginning or starting point for any success. Existing and living or two entirely different things. Living a life of prediction and living a life of creation are also clearly two different things.

    CLARITY OF VALUES, leads to CLARITY OF VISION which leads to CLARITY OF ROLES which leads to CLARITY OF MISSION which gives you INHERENT DIRECTION and AUTHENTIC CLARITY OF PURPOSE~a life time of living your created missions~values, visions and roles~ to the mutual benefit of all.

    To understand if you mattered, you need to understand what truly matters and go do that, in alignment with you values, visions and roles and natural missions. Then you “That wonderful creation and unique essence of a precious human being will matter. Your highly valuable contributions and helpful and meaningful services will make a highly significant positive and constructive impact on the lives of others whether on a micro or macro level. Whatever suits you. Yes, then you will matter. And, if you were born and/or have ever been loved, as from the very beginning of time by God, our parents, your caregivers, family members, friends, siblings, …then you obviously mattered even if you didn’t know it yet.

    Did you live, YES, if it was clearly and authentically on purpose, contributing your absolute best, stretching beyond all your boundaries and limiting beliefs thus realizing your full potential, contributing in every great way! Yes, it will be and is very clear that you lived. I pray that you will share this earth with us for many many wonderful years of your and our lives. I am certain that your spirit and legacy will live on into eternity.

    Did you love? Yes, if one of your core values was/is creating high quality, long lasting, mutually beneficial, respectful and loving “relationships” of any nature: God, family, wife, father, husband, mom, sister, brother, friends, customers, associates, the environment, creativity, the universe, yourself and of course if and when you were were present creating, building and nurturing these relationships! Then for sure you loved and continue to do so. That is our blessing!

    It is sad but sometimes true, that we need a few wake up calls to truly appreciate and be genuinely grateful for this beautiful gift called life, which is in and of itself pure love. To communicate and share your unique essence and light with the rest of the world in every great and meaningful way to the benefit of all~ is to have lived, loved and mattered.

    YOU Brendon Burchard, are very much present and loved. Your light, love, essence and warmth, simply exude across the universe touching all who have ever met you, deeply in their hearts, soul and spirits. You share the love, you share the light, you truly do matter to us and all your loved ones and you are truly living a life of passion and a life of your dreams!

    Surviving a near fatal situation, you woke up, you began a life of gratitude and reverence for this gift called life, and you took control ~via responsibility and accountability of all precious moments granted and all future results you were going to and are blessed to achieve.

    So not only were you blessed Brendon but so were and are we, your family and all your loved ones. That is because now, with full reverence and gratitude, you recognize that ever precious nano second of life matters, love matters, relationships matter, contributions matter, making a highly significance difference in the lives of others matters, and that YOU, a most precious and unique living creation can fill every second of your life here on earth with highly valued and highly valuable learning, growth and contribution. YOU ARE LOVED!

    You definitely are very much a live and are living, you exude love to all and you are loved and deeply cherished, YES Brendon, YOU TRULY MATTER!

    Thank you for waking up! Thank you for all your amazing contributions and the endless energy and expertise that you share in such a loving, caring, respectful and professional manner.

    God love you Brendon, we all truly care and we are very grateful to you and also to your mom and dad for their part in creating and raising you.

    Keep up the fabulous work. YOu are an inspiration to all.

    Warmest regards, huge hugs, lots of love and an abundance of joy and laughter too. Continued success beyond all expectations and God bless you and all your loved ones past and present! What can I say. YOU are THE BEST of the BEST!!!!!!!!!!

    Lifes golden ticket is very simply three things. Something to look forward to.Something to do. Someone to love

47. Brenda

    La verdad es que es algo raro, pero necesitaba leer este libro… había algo dentro de mí que decía “comprálo, es la oportunidad, no la dejes pasar, es ahora o nunca”. Sólo tengo 16 años, cuando compré el libro tenía 15 pero no lo podía leerlo porque debía leer los libros para la escuela.
    Sinceramente, me ayudó mucho, demasiado, a mi corta edad creía estar acabada… que mi vida ya no tenía sentido. Pero con esta historia aprendí que todo se puede y que la única barrera que me impredía ser quién quería ser y hacer lo que quería hacer, era yo misma.
    En verdad te agradezco por hacer que me diera cuenta que se puede cambiar y vivir como uno quiere, porque algo dentro de mí sabía que mi vida no era esta… que había nacido para otra cosa, gracias por ayudarme a encontar la respuesta.

48. Karen Ryce

    I believe my work is to help adults know how to help children keep hold of and awareness of their Golden Tickets. My 39 years of experience has led me to believe that we are made to be able to keep hold of and work with our Golden Tickets (this phrase is, of course, thanks to you). I have discovered the root cause to losing touch and awareness of our Golden Ticket, and I have discovered and designed a way to heal the damage caused by this root cause. This is my work.

49. Karen Ryce

    My Golden Ticket, at least what I know right now, is to remain in constant contact with the core, the eternal chord, the source, the divine center of my being.

50. Bonnie

    Dear Brendon, We all start our lives conditioned by other humans -what to believe , what to wear , what to eat etc. When we realize that we can change the course of our lives we know that we have found, and are using The Golden Ticket! Thank you for putting this message into an easy to grasp idea.. ..What fun to send this out to many others who have not yet realized they hold The Golden Ticket and if they CHOOSE can go on the ride of their life!
    Blessings ,Bonnie

51. Gabriele L. Grach

    Happy New year 2010! May this and many years into the future be the absolute best of the best of TEH BEST! God bless you and yours! I look forward to sharing more fabulous times and precious moments with you and yours!

    Please extend my heartfelt thanks also to Jason and Jen, and the many others who make sharing your great essence possible. Blessings and love to your lovely wife and family too.

    Nothing but the best for the BEST! What can I say! GG with huge hugs

52. Gabriele L. Grach

    I am truly blessed because despite experiencing much tragedy, terrorism, embezzlement and assault of many natures, I can still cheer many people up through my gift of music, love, laughter, understanding, forgiveness and compassion. I can influence positive outcomes and I can effect positive change. I can get people to see the best in themselves, I can bring out the best in others. I can inspire people to value themselves and I can guide people to live a life of true value.

    Though I hobbled all the way to the Expert’s Seminar in San Francisco I was blessed to meet you Brendon and the many fabulous participants of the conference including one of my kindred spirits, Tony Robbins, the wonderful Mike Koenigs, the endearing John Gray and your fabulous publisher who I would like on my side any day as my very own personal dragon slayer

    The precious gift that I got, among many many others, was to be present in your exhilarating presence. Your fabulous energy, extraordinary goodwill, outstanding professionalism and heart felt and genuine humanity touched me deeply, inspired me greatly, and gave me much hope; not just for myself, but for future generations who will be blessed to be influenced by you.

    Well, there is much great work to be done as I too, received the world series of Golden Tickets. Nine lives doesn’t even come close to the blessings that I have received. I am grateful to be alive, to be blessed with my daughter’s presence and the gift of many dear friends and associates, not the least of which is you.

    You are very much alive, Brendon. You are the epitome of love and you truly do matter and make a highly positive and deeply meaningful difference in the lives of others, myself included. You have and continue to give your utmost and contribute in every great way. If my Golden Ticket were only to be able to say that I lived to experience you, your fabulous event, the learning, the camaraderie, then I could have said, I lived, loved and mattered.

    Brendon, you are truly a blessing to all of us. Thank you for being YOU!

    Sincerely, appreciatively, and eternally grateful,

    Gabriele L. Grach~ EAPC~Live, love and laugh lots!

    Hey Brendon!
    Here is one of my favorite words of wisdom:
    “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom.” Victor Frankl

    I have some others but they are written i swedish!

    Thank you for your newsletters!

54. A. Koppenens

    The strong man. As soon as he knew that he could be ‘as strong as he wanted’, people around him tried to stop him, tried to keep him ‘in his place’. Out of care, or out of jealousy. That’s wat ‘awoke’ me. It’s not that I am doing wrong, it’s ‘the other’ who cannot or wil not understand my ‘drive’ to change. Next time I want to ‘grow’, next time I want to go forward I’ll thank them for caring and will continue my ‘road’ in ‘my way’. Thank you for ‘the golden ticket’.

55. Sharyn Abbott

    I can’t remember when I’ve enjoyed reading a book as much as Life’s Golden Ticket. Your storying telling is magnificant, but second only to the concept that it so well conceived. I am truly hopeful the majority of the world will read you book and find the enlightenment with which I’m sure it’s intended.

56. JohnH

    Brendon, for the first time in my life, I was laid off at the end of 2008. I realized what a golden opportunity this is to do what I’ve been preparing myself for since the 1980s: to write my book about personal security and situational awareness, a method anyone can use to save their own life and thereby experience their own Golden Ticket for the full ride. The book will be available early next year. Life is a journey. The Golden Ticket enables us to enjoy the good things, give something back in return, and enjoy the company of others along the way.

57. RObert

    The universe has been here for billions of years.
    We are here for a split second. We now have found our Golden TIcket…..Make it count!!!
    Live, Love, and Matter to oneself and to others everyday, in every way that we can…..

    Thanks Berndon!!!!

58. kimberly

    i am here to be salt and light to every life that i touch. some people i will only be connected with for a brief moment. what can i give them in that moment? what will be better for them because i came their way?

59. DIANA

    I believe that everything you mention in your Golden Ticket is soo… very true. I remembered recently what I had forgotten for a while -who I really am and why I am living on this earth. THANK YOU and people like you who keep reminding me of this truth.

60. Ivan Cestoni(outreach_

    First i would like to applaud as well as encourage your efforts even further. Your inspiration helps finding that golden ticket that much easier.

    I believe the golden ticket to life is giving. Giving to your friends and your family, because when you give and you see the smiles on the faces you have grown to love life becomes satisfying.

61. Vampiro Sagrado

    I´ have cried, there am laugh. I was reflected in your book as in a mirror my eyes did not reflect future, until I finished reading GoldenTicket thanks, infinite to occur a reality, to occur a miracle. From Buenos Aires, Argentina. God bless you.-

62. John

    Life’s golden ticket for me is to ideally live life discovering, doing and growing continually into more and more of who I was born to be. Like an acorn, always on purpose and always reaching up (with everyone and everything around me), I want to acknowledge the perfection of everything at any given second. I don’t know the who, what , where, why, when or how’s most of the time so I’m very blessed to have had the abilities to carry out and reach many of the goals I’ve set for myself. Many things that seemed impossible at first but something kept me going. Faith is totally involved at any given moment for me with the one source being God’s Love. We are all connected I believe in this love.

63. Nansea Arquette

    The Golden Ticket for me is to live everyday as if it is the last. The most important person is the one in front of me at any given moment. Loving each and every one who comes into contact with me and making time for myself, my family and friends. Being a teacher AND a student. Spending time in nature, prayer and gratitude. I was born to serve and being humble and living in integrity enables me to choose to surrender to God that I may be an instrument of Gods Good. Essentially, My Golden Ticket is FAITH and knowing I am never alone, that God is Good and wants to Give me the Kingdom. All I have to do is Ask, Trust and Show up!

64. Martha

    Life Golden Ticket for me is the opportunity to live to the fullest every day of our lives. To wake up every morning and see the sun, walk, speak, hear and specially being happy for all we have. To make someone laugh.Life Golden Ticket is the opportunity to be grateful just to be alive so like that we’ll be able do the best we can every minute, every second in order to make a positive change for ourselves and for others.

65. larry moran

    The golden ticket is about knowing that you did your very best.
    That you dared to do what you dreamed was possible.
    Realizing that you have achieved what mattered most to you.
    That you have achieved the outcomes that you have engineered.
    And that whatever you pursue will come true.

66. Judy Joe

    Thanks for the positive message and always leveling up, in spite of personal events. What do I think about Life’s Golden Ticket? We get tools (like coaching) put them in our toolbox and use them to build a foundation for achieving all that God has for us. The only thing holding us back…the most profound force keeping us from reaching our peak…the challenging obstacle to achieving ALL that life has to offer is…the limitation of our own mind set and how we view ourselves. Thanks again, Life is a Golden Ticket.

67. Thomas Bignier

    Hi Brendon,

    To me, Life’s Golden Ticket is to find what si our mission during this life and to follow it.

    Thank you for your contribution to people’s life.
