Today is a good day!

September 7, 2012



Groucho Marx ... "Blessed are the cracked,

for they shall let in the light."






Sometimes we just need a little humor or even silliness; something that will lighten the thoughts of our stressful lives. A toddler wearing his daddy's boots, though it has been seen a thousand times

before, can still bring a smile to a life weary soul. Thank God for friends that see and share the lighter side of life.…

Don't let circumstances dictate you...but rather dictate your circumstances

August 19, 2012





Martha Washington... “I’m determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may be. I’ve learned that the greater part of happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.”





That sounds just like Paul in Philippians

4:12... “I have learned

[to be] content in…every situation
.”





If you want to go from surviving to thriving, make…

Ignite (first things first)

We place a lot of emphasis on closing and finishing strong. It makes sense as these are many times the most defined and visible parts of any selling process. However it is interesting when you think about how neither would be necessary or even possible if it weren't for what preceded. Let me explain it this way; look at the biggest month/week you've experienced in sales. You can almost always trace the ending back to a solid pivotal shift. You notice that I didn't say beginning? That's because… Continue

What is your pursuit?

John Ashcroft...  "My dad had the foresight and wisdom not to say, 'I just want my kids to be happy.' He realized that the pursuit of happiness for its own sake is a frustrating, disillusioning, and often futile effort. Happiness usually hides from those who are spiritually addicted to its sugar, while it chases after those who make wise choices and who are caught up in something more lasting than momentary excitement."

 

Happy is a sensation that follows a…

Marcus Aurelius... "BE modest and simple in your deportment, and treat with indifference whatever lies between virtue and vice."

 

So much of what lies between measurable virtue or vice is unimportant.  Literally not worth fussing about! Let us focus our energies on the virtues of life; forsaking iniquity and pursuing love,  become engaged with good so evil has no time in your schedule.  We are often consumed with the mediocrity of things that have no eternal impact (except to keep us… Continue
