Ex-Cop Ted Overcame PTSD with our Personal Development Products
๐ค Meet Ted - one of our much loved & respected Community Members & avid fan of our Personal Development Courses... Ted shares his wins from specific topics in our Courses on a regular basis throughout out Internal Training Calls & I wanted to share a little bit of his story with you here...
๐ "After leaving the Police Force, I suffered from what is now labelled PTSD. Although I had no idea at the time what that was, it was the scariest thing I've ever experienced.
About four years ago I joined Prosperity Of Life and immediately got involved with the community and started using the Personal Development products. As I have stated many times since, using these products daily has not just changed my life but I believe saved it. It's not uncommon to hear that some of my previous colleagues haven't made it through their dark days.
I could not express my gratitude enough for both the Courses and the Daily Live Streams we get here because there are no words, but I believe I have found the cure to everything I have or could suffer from. I am a new person with a new and wonderful free life. I can only express my gratitude and say thank you."

โ ๏ธ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. โ ๏ธ
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
๐ The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50ยฐC in less than 15 minutes.
๐ Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
๐ This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
๐ It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you โค๏ธ
