I have extracted some excerpts for you to read. They're not so bad... although just reading them won't change your life.

Email 1:
*** COACH'S TIP ***

Write your dreams down! Don’t have any dreams? Please care about
yourself enough to go searching for them. It’s bringing our
dreams to life that gives our lives meaning and purpose.

Clearly defining our dreams, setting intention and giving them
attention, moves us towards our goals. And this brings us
excitement, passion and fulfillment.

*** INSPIRATION ***

"The purpose of goals is to focus our attention. The
mind will not reach toward achievement until it has
clear objectives. The magic begins when we set goals.
It is then that the switch is turned on, the current
begins to flow, and the power to accomplish becomes a
reality." -- From The Best of Success, compiled by Wynn
Davis

*** COACH'S TIP ***

All blocks arise when we’re not being authentic, when we’re not
being true to ourselves.

When our thoughts, feelings and actions align with our essence,
we express the qualities of soul. Always trust that your soul
knows what's best for you. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND ACT ON YOUR
IDEAS. Give yourself permission to do what you want with your
life. Take the initiative to set meaningful goals for yourself
and achieve them. Begin to tell yourself why you CAN have what
you want.

*** INSPIRATION ***

"A true knowledge of ourselves is knowledge of our power."
-- Mark Rutherford

*** INSPIRATION ***

"Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You
can't cross a chasm in two small jumps." -- David Lloyd George

Email 7:
*** COACH'S TIP ***

We are creatures of habit, of patterns. While initially
the habits may have served us, they may now be limiting
our ability to experience more of life.

What aspect of your life has become routine?
How might you bring new life to it?
Do some outrageous dreaming!

*** INSPIRATION ***

"The most important thing in science is not so much to
obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking
about them." -- Sir William Bragg

Email 16:
*** INSPIRATION ***

"Why has time disappeared in our culture? How is it
that after decades of inventions and new technologies
devoted to saving time and labor, the result is that
there is no time left? We are a time-poor society; we
are temporally impoverished. And there is no issue, no
aspect of human life, that exceeds this in importance.
The destruction of time is literally the destruction of
life." -- Jacob Needleman

Email 22:
*** COACH'S TIP ***

Always trust that you know what's best for you. To move forward
in your life, gather information from the ‘experts,’ consider how
their advice relates to your situation and then act only on what
feels right for you. You are the only expert for your own life.

*** INSPIRATION ***

"If [the teacher] is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the
house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of
your own mind." -- Kahlil Gibran

Email 35:
*** INSPIRATION ***

"Your body is the ground and metaphor of your life, the
expression of your existence. It is your Bible, your
encyclopedia, your life story. Everything that happens to
you is stored and reflected in your body. In the marriage of
flesh and spirit divorce is impossible." -- Gabrielle Roth
