goal setting: This is a powerful message!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT… There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I would marry you.' One day, a pair of eyes were donated to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend. He asked her, 'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked (11 comments)
goal setting: Can your brightest future be behind you?
- 08/29/12 09:57 PM
Is your brightest future behind you? The answer may depend on whether you are working to eliminate your negative habits and self imposed limitations and replacing them with a plan of action and the daily disciplines for success. I am always surprised by the people who seem to be moving through life and acting as if they have no control over where they are going to end up. What about you, do you attribute your success or failure on good luck or bad luck? Or do you accept responsibility for the actions that will determine your luck? The choice is yours. You hold the rudder in your (3 comments)

Time is your most important asset, do you value it? One day a little boy greeted his father as he returned from work, with a timid voice and idolizing eyes, he asked his father, "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?" Greatly surprised, but giving his boy a glaring look, the father said, "Look, son, not even your mother knows that. Don't bother me now, I'm tired." "But Daddy, just tell me please! How much do you make an hour," the boy insisted. The father, finally giving up, replied: "Twenty dollars per hour." "Okay, Daddy? Could you loan me ten (8 comments)

Today I am supposed to be speaking to a group of real estate professionals in Champagne, IL, but for only the third time in twenty years I am going to miss a program. Bad weather in Tampa delayed the flights and prevented me from being able to make the connecting flight. Nothing anybody could do. I was extremely disappointed but instead of getting angry or frustrated I just accepted there wasn’t anything I could do except work with the clients to find a new date in September and reschedule the entire event. Which we did. But this is where the story (4 comments)
goal setting: I am the person I let myself be!
- 08/19/12 09:44 PM
Good Monday Morning All Stars, Outside my window, a new day I see, And only I can determine What kind of day it will be. It can be busy and sunny, laughing and gay, Or boring and cold, unhappy and gray. My own state of mind is the determining key, For I am only the person I let myself be. I can be thoughtful and do all I can to help, Or be selfish and think just of myself. I can enjoy what I do and make it seem fun, Or gripe and complain and make it hard on someone. I (5 comments)
goal setting: What are you waiting for?
- 08/15/12 09:56 PM
What are you waiting for? One of the best tips I ever received from my coach was. "Take immediate action". Even though thoughts, ideas and imagination are very powerful, you can get nothing by just thinking, idealizing or imagining; you must also take action. Action is the bridge between your ideas and their accomplishment. You have to seriously commit to yourself to pay the price, whatever it is. You can do whatever you set your mind to and you can accomplish anything if you're willing to do what you have to do. The message is clear; you and only you are responsible (5 comments)

Are you willing to pay the price for your success? Action is the bridge between your ideas and their accomplishment. You have to seriously commit to yourself to pay the price, whatever it is. You can do whatever you want only if you believe you can. You can do whatever you set your mind to and you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price.

Good Friday Morning All Stars,How bright do your dreams burn? When someone looks into your eyes they should see something alive within you. Having a dream is like owning a lighthouse; it is a beacon that directs a community of men and women to see you have found purpose.The dream directs us on our journey. At every turn we encounter its mystery. At each new level we become more of the person we were meant to become. In lonely times, when we pass through a storm of disappointment, we find our commitment is unshaken, our strength renewed.Somehow, if we stay true (5 comments)
