“My Back Was Against The Wall”
July 7th, 2008
From the desk of Beth Davis
RE: “Your Back Is To The Wall”
”You’re feeling cornered—and like you may even be in danger—“
“You even feel like the well being of your family is at stake…”
A shocking image, isn’t it?
And if you know me very well (through my newsletter, hand readings or online products and services), this might not be what you’d expect from me…
I talk about building relationships. I help people find their Life Purpose and their worldly vision.
I mean, I don’t even like violent movies.
But there is a disease out there, and I am a little worked up about it…
I’m talking about a spirit-killing disease… and stuff that once took me to the brink—not to mention the unbelievable strain that it put on my personal life.
Before I tell you what this “disease” is, or how I found a cure that restored not only my personal life, but my dignity as well, I’d like to tell you what brought these memories back for me…
You see, I’ve had my world rocked in the last few weeks.
Just a few weeks ago, I started a contest on THIS Life Purpose Blog that I thought would really spice things up.
In that post, I said I would give away ONE free copy of my Life Purpose Vision home-study course - and to qualify you only had to post a comment that told me WHY you needed the course and HOW you would use it.
I said I would pick the winner based on the posts… I would pick the post that I thought gave the best reasons.
Well… I had no idea what I had set in motion.
In just a few days we had dozens and dozens of responses.
And these weren’t one or two liners – I am talking about thoughtful and even heart wrenching replies.
The response was overwhelming… incredible…
HUMBLING.
Yes, I am humbled by the responses. The posts weren’t one or two sentences… it was a huge OUTPOURING of wants, needs, desires, hopes… and yes, disappointments.
Lots of pure, raw emotion, fear, anger, joy, excitement, love.
But you can see all of these posts for yourself right here on this blog.
As I read the entries, at first I was overwhelmed by all the energy that you put into those posts… I found myself surfing on a wave of emotion, I went from excitement, to wonder, to fear, to frustration, to passion and even tears…
Before I knew it, my imagination had transported me to a place that I hadn’t been in many years…
And then I started to get MAD.
Now let’s be clear… I am NOT mad at the people who posted comments… no, I salute your spirit, desire, zeal, fortitude and your hard work.
No… I got MAD at the dream stealers and naysayers that stood in these people’s way. The people that discouraged them every step of the way. The people who sold them worthless goods and services. The members of their own tribe that told them they will never succeed. I got mad at all the false promises and hopes that had stood in their way.
You See, I Can Vividly Remember When I Was
In That Place…
When I was starting out, just trying to find some way to provide for myself. I remember feeling like a “deer in the headlights”, not knowing what to do next.
You see I wasn’t always a successful teacher and healer. But I am getting ahead of myself. It all started about ten years ago when I was about 29 years old, and I’ll admit it…
“Back Then I Had One Of Those J-O-Bs”
Ten years ago, I was a frustrated and depressed office worker, struggling to find meaning in my work.
I WAS MISERABLE.
One day, after making a presentation to my boss demonstrating why I deserved a raise for increased knowledge and responsibilities, he smiled and said to me, “Beth, that was an excellent presentation, but you’ll be lucky if you’re making $40,000 per year five years from now.” I had to bite my tongue so I didn’t burst out laughing. (Even in my depression, I still had a sense of humor!) I knew I had to get out of that job pronto – but to do “what” instead?
And while I put on a bright face at work, I would come home to an empty apartment - I had nary a pet, plant or partner to greet me. I would cry myself to sleep, thinking, “There has to be more to life than simply working to pay bills and buy more stuff! There has to be a purpose to this life.”
I longed for meaning, purpose and passion. How could someone who wanted meaning so desperately seem to be so inept at finding it? My darkest hour came when I realized I had become suicidal. I was deep in the throes of a gripping and terrifying spiritual crisis (although I didn’t know that’s what it was at the time).
Shortly after the meeting with my boss, with almost money and no idea of what I was going to do, I walked away from that “golden opportunity” job. Forever.
It felt good to leave that job, but I soon realized I had no way to support myself and pay the bills.
As I coldly contemplated various ways of removing myself from the planet, the power of my intention frightened me. In desperation, I called a friend (knowing that I didn’t have the guts to actually pull it off). Telling her of my plan to leave and expecting her sympathy, she said, “Beth, that’s the most selfish thing I’ve ever heard you say! You need to snap out of it. Do you not realize how much you are loved? That makes me sad.”
Getting defensive, I said, “Okay, then… what should I do?”
“How about asking?” she said.
“Asking whom?” I said.
“Uh, the Universe,” she said.
I decided I would heed her advice and pray. It was something I hadn’t done since my days in Catholic school. I kneeled down by my bed, hands folded, head bent in solemn repose, and said this prayer, “God, Great Spirit, Universe, if you show me my Life Purpose, I will forever be your humble servant.” At the time, I didn’t realize the power of this prayer.
Meantime, another friend, Pammy, kept calling me and bugging me to get my hands read. “Beth, I know you’ve been feeling down. This will help. I promise. It’s AMAZING!” she said.
“No, I’m not getting a hand reading. Come on!” I snorted. Being a practical, science-minded gal – albeit with a metaphysical bent – I wasn’t signing up for a palm reading.
But Pammy kept calling. I finally broke down and relented so she’d leave me alone.
“Arrgghhh…alright! Yes, I’ll do it… but this better be good!”
As my learning increased, word-of-mouth brought me more and more people desiring the same ah-ha moment I had experienced. Radio and television hosts began finding me, magazines began finding me, I began finding me! It was thrilling and I knew there was no turning back. I’d made my promise to the Universe to be a servant and now I had to follow through.
It is the most rewarding work I could have ever imagined! I discovered that being of service is about serving, not about being a slave and sacrificing my joy to appease and please others.
So let me ask you…
“Would you like to have this same level of
success in your life and business?”
If you answered “YES,” I GUARANTEE (100% No-Questions-Asked, 90 Day-, Money-Back Guarantee) to show you how to create a Vision Plan from your own hands that will help you unleash your own inner wisdom, power and unstoppable success. (And it’s so SIMPLE, you’ll probably be amazed when you discovered where the answers are in your hands in this unique, at-home system!)
(NOTE: This system DOES NOT teach you how to read hands - it’s focused on the information in YOUR hands and how to make it REAL in your every day life.)
In fact, I’m now making available to you my entire Life Purpose Vision system so you can claim your life purpose, make a plan to live your life purpose in EVERY AREA of your life, and overcome your deepest fears – the same fears that have been limiting your full-out success!
This is the SAME EXACT SYSTEM I revealed at my Life Purpose Vision Retreat in August 2007.
What’s unfortunate is that you weren’t there! It SOLD OUT in just 8 weeks!
However, I have GOOD NEWS for you!

“Okay, Beth, this sounds amazing. What is my minimal investment in your complete Life Purpose Vision system for getting unstuck and UNLEASHING my Life Purpose?”
I’ve given this a lot of thought and checked with my own mentors to see what it’s worth. I would have paid $25,000 for my very first hand analysis session and guidance – because it forever changed my life, pulled me out of a mind-numbing, soul-killing depression and was the answer to a soul-filled prayer. That’s about one year of college tuition, the salary of an underpaid secretary or several years of therapy. Of course, that kind of pricing would stop a lot of people in their tracks.
It is my observation that people don’t value things that they get for free as much as they value things they invest in. People without health insurance still buy flat screen TVs on credit. It’s all about what YOU value and what you WANT right now.
If you want to change your life RIGHT NOW and know, once and for all, your specific Life Purpose and HOW to make it a day-to-day reality, then think about what that would be worth to. I dare say, it’s priceless!
I’ll tell you what I’ve discovered about investing in yourself:
ü Money exists to make things happen
ü Money likes to be in circulation
ü The amount of money we possess is DIRECTLY proportional to the creative risks we are willing to take and the number of our gifts we are actively promoting and expressing in the world. The painter with a warehouse full of paintings not being seen by her audience is a broke painter.
ü Investing with people who are already where you want to be moves you into that vibration of success and accelerates your own!
The investment for this life-changing program is $1497. (That’s the current rate for a single, one-hour hand analysis session with me!) You’re receiving the same EXACT information the live attendees received BUT at a lower cost – and they had to pay EXTRA for their hand analysis session. For YOU, it’s included in this program!
(YES, there will be various installment plans with affordable monthly payment options).
I want you to have this information right now. However, since we are offering BONUS LIVE group coaching and LIVE hand analysis sessions to make sure you get the MOST VALUE possible out of this program, we are only offering 100 spots.
The Life Purpose Vision program will be closed within 7 days or as soon as all the spots are filled. (And I have to tell you – we’ve received dozens of emails from people like you asking us to hold a copy for them!)
I know I could charge more for this program, but I wanted you to have it NOW – because if you don’t LIVE your Life Purpose now, then when?
To make this decision a no-brainer, I’m allowing *EASY and AFFORDABLE INSTALLMENTS* so you can get this program into your hands – and discover the treasure that is buried there!
Instead of reaching down into your fear, worry and anxiety, reach your hand up and grab onto the help of a mentor who’s been where you are and knows what you’ve been going through. That’s my strategy and it continues to pay off – spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally and financially – year after year after year. I continually reach my hand up and invest in those mentors who can help me get to the next place my soul is asking me to go. They hold my hand until I’m ready to take my next leap.
What is YOUR SOUL asking of you? What will your next leap be? I am ready to help you, to hold your hand if you need it and walk you step-by-gentle-step into your Life Purpose. That’s a promise!
Ask your soul. Your soul knows what its agenda is (and it’s NOT the same agenda of your Life-Lesson-attached, fear-based ego!)

Beth,
Thanks so much for your blog. While my business is audio and video, my strengths come in my ability to work with people effectively. Any time I stray from the course, it’s good to know I can look at my hands and get excited about my purpose and direction again. Looking forward to more blog posts!
