With us today, I have a person who I have admired for many years. His name is Mark Victor Hansen. You probably recognize that name. It’s almost a household name today. He’s the author of many books, the biggest of which is his Chicken Soup for the Soul Series, co-authored with Jack Canfield. But there are some ones you may not know about. One which I was sharing with Mark just a few moments ago was “ The Power of Focus” , a tremendous book about the talent, the innate skill we have to tune in and focus on what we really want, but the unconscious isn’t always there with us until you set your intent and really tune in. Another one of Mark’s books is “ The One Minute Millionaire” . In the year 2000, Mark was honored with the prestigious Horatio Alger Award. Each year, this association honors American leaders who personify the virtues and principles inherent in the success stories that are written in the 19 th century. As an Alger award winner, Mark’s extraordinary life achievements stand as a powerful example that the free enterprise system still offers opportunity to all. I love that, Mark. Mark : Isn’t that fun? Paul : I love it. Mark : You ought to know that we give away the most money of any endowment scholarships in America to at-risk kids. When you hear these kids’ stories, and all of us at Whitney Award. Out of 600 winners over 60 years, there are 183 of us alive still, and it’s the most amazing group. We’ve raised 100 million dollars to get all these kids to go to school. Oprah’s a member, Turner’s a member, and a new one we just had Denzell Washington win a few days ago and we had Steve Wynn, the guy from Vegas who builds the best hotels as far as I’m concerned, is a new friend. It’s a really exciting organization and the biggest winners are the kids, the scholars that get $20,000 from us to go school. They got to go to a school where they know the president, and they’ve got to keep a 3.8 gpa and they can’t skip any school. They all end up graduating and do- ing wonders. Every one of them has one of us as a mentor, where we get to be the mentee. I’ve got pictures on my wall here of getting my award in the U.S. Supreme Court from Judge Clarence Thomas. In my class of ten, was Tom Selleck, Mr. Magnum PI. It makes your skin tingle. Paul : Yes, I know that feeling well. To add just a little bit to that intro, because I’m really fascinated with your background, Mark. You know what really impresses me is when people like yourself... I think the old quote goes, “To those who much have been given, much is expected, or required”. In Hawaiian, they have a word called “kuleana”- it’s our kuleana (our responsibility) to give back. We’ve been given great and wonderful gifts. Part of what I had found on the web about you Mark, is that you’re not just a philanthropist and a humanitarian, but you work tirelessly for organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, American Red Cross, March of Dimes, and Child Help U.S.A. It touches me, Mark, because you don’t have to do that stuff. It’s something that inspires you or touches you in some way. Your Kuleana Maybe that’s the way we’ll start out, and then I’ll continue with some questions that I’m asking as a surrogate on behalf of our subscribers and Awaken Members. If we can touch base on that whole Awakened Imagination Newsletter Gold Edition Issue #2 3 Mark: I think it’s a triangle. I ask audience members to put their hands together and touch their index fingers and their thumbs together and make a triangle. I say, on the left hand side, you’ve got to learn. On the right hand side, you’ve got to earn. Then, on the thumbs, you’ve got to return. Unless you do all three parts of the triangle, it doesn’t work. The reason our economy and social and political system are crumbling right now is because they didn’t understand the return part. I’m doing this from a very spiritual, elevated point of view, looking now at the problem we’ve got. When you’ve got greed running you, you’ll always lose because you can’t ever get enough if you’re into greed. That’s what happened with the collapse on Wall Street and Washington. Too many people were running a greed system and didn’t understand that there’s more than enough for all of us. Every spiritual system says the same thing. Christ, John 10:10 says “I come so you might have life and have life abundantly”. The oldest spiritual literature on the planet 6,000 years ago, said … “out of abundance he or she took abundance and still abundance remained”. There is more than enough, but if you’re personally coming out of lack, which I’m here to attack lack. I think poverty only belongs in a museum. Dr. Eunice taught me that, a Nobel Prize winner. We got a hundred million women out of poverty, and I’m working with them now on a lot of projects because we don’t need any poverty in the world; we need vast prosperity and all seven billion of us deserve to have clean water, clean food, a house over our head like Habitat says.
