Even in this tight economy I’ve noticed lots of people going right off the deep end doing their Christmas shopping. They’ve whipped themselve into a lather buying anything, so long as they have something to wrap up. Giving a gift has almost become a “requirement.”
But I’ve also known the overwhelming joy you can only experience when you absolutely hit the mark - when you get it just right - when you give a gift that comes completely from your heart and is appreciated more than sunshine.

Albert Einstein said, “Try not to be a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.”
Zig Ziglar said, “You can get anything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.”
If you are focused on the bottom line, on the amount, the profit, the net, the take….you are missing the boat and are thinking of your work as more of a job.
“Mom, this is fun. I’ve never made caramel apples before.”
“Well, I hope it will become a tradition for us.”
“Cool. Then someday I’ll have to tell my friends I’m out on a date when instead I’ll be home with you - unleashing my inner nerd.”

Years ago I saw a stage show called “Triple Espresso” when it was new. The creators, writers, and stars were three gentleman who basically just took their talents and pieced them together into a storyline. It turned out to be one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen. I was literally crying and slapping my leg. And I saw it three times.
They led with their strengths and they were on their way to Broadway. They didn’t look for a script in which to mold themselves into. They looked at their talents and designed a way to showcase them.
You were not created to just survive or endure or get through or simply manage your life. You are meant for something much greater.
You already have everything you need to be enormously successful. The only thing that holds you back is…you. Not your husband or your friends or your location or your kids or your job.
Just you.

Choice gives you power.
When you recognize that you get to choose everything about your future, you will gain enormous power over your life. But so many people will never take that step - never acknowledge that they are the architects of their life and their business. It’s much too easy to just blame someone or something else for their apparent inability to become a success.
Successful people aren’t that way by accident. They didn’t just happen to fall into it. They chose it. Strategically.
I heard this question asked at a networking function recently:
“Who are the five living people you’d most like to have dinner with?”
The answers people gave were intriguing - sports figures, politicians, philanthropists, CEOs, authors,

You are in complete control of the life you create.
You create your destiny, your success, your failure, and your level of wealth.
If you disagree, you are in the habit of giving power to your circumstances or to other people and may play the role of a victim. To play that role, a person would:
Blame another person.
Justify what happened. (Blame the circumstances)
Experience shame. (Blame themself, but not learn from their mistake)
Complain.

A Power Team is a group of forward thinking, positive, energetic business professionals who’s sole purpose is to support each other. People from outside your own business will bring fresh perspectives, effective feedback, new ideas, and wonderful accountability.
The common denominator among the members is the abundance mentality - they collaborate with each other, not compete. They believe there is plenty to go around. In other words, if one person wins, it doesn’t mean the others lose. They all want to get to the top and they want to do it together.

I know lots of people who engage in activities to expand their thinking. They listen to motivational tapes, they say daily affirmations, they go to motivational events, and they read lots of books. But only a few of them are becoming wealthy. The rest seem to remain “stuck.”
There are two reasons for this and they are connected.

Where is your money limit? Almost everyone has one. It is the current economic point at which you limit yourself and your success. For instance:
“Do you believe you could earn $100 a month?”
” Sure.”
” How about $1000?”
” Probably.”
” $2,000? $5,000?”
” Well…o.k., if I work really hard.”
“How about $10,000.”
” Well….now you’re really pushing it, but yes, o.k., I believe I could.”
“O.K., do you believe you could earn $50,000 a month?”
“$50,000!??!!?! In my wildest dreams! No way, I could never earn $50,000 in a month.”
There it is, that’s the limit. Somewhere between $10,000 and $50,000 this fictional individual has established an arbitrary limit on their earning potential and their wealth.
It doesn’t matter what your vision for the future is, what matters is what your vision does. A compelling vision will always pull you forward.
If you are trying to be better, faster, smarter, richer, thinner, more powerful, and more successful you do not have a vision.
By using today and the current conditions as a frame of reference for what you will have tomorrow, you are selling yourself short. It means you are tying tomorrow’s achievements to what you currently have. However, your desired future does not equal the past. In fact, it’s not even related to it. A vision is not an improvement; it is an ideal, a conception of something in its absolute perfection.

When you have to visit a public toilet, you usually find a line of women, so you smile politely and take your place. Once it’s your turn, you check for feet under the cubicle doors. Every cubicle is occupied.
Finally, a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the cubicle. You get in to find the door won’t latch. It doesn’t matter, the wait has been so long you are about to wet your pants!

“I Am a Christian”
- by Maya Angelou
When I say… “I am a Christian” I’m not shouting “I’m clean livin.”
I’m whispering “I was lost, now I’m found and forgiven.”
When I say… “I am a Christian” I don’t speak of this with pride.
I’m confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say… “I am a Christian” I’m not trying to be strong.
I’m professing that I’m weak and need His strength to carry on.

Logan Henderson, the Nebraska boy known as the Sky Angel Cowboy, called a Texas radio station to share a story and a lesson that God showed him.
It made me catch my breath.
