A Fundamental Question for All...
A fundamental question for all...
Who is it all for?
By example we do lead
creating change or new things.
Making us all 'leaders'
But why?
What motivates You ?
Who is it all for?
Do you know?
Our answer...
Helping others... by helping our-self...
Growing up I often heard...
'Always help your-self 1st...
Never hurt anyone self by helping your-self'

Carrots, Eggs and Coffee
A young woman went to her grandmother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one would pop up.
Her grandmother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire, and soon the pots came to boil. In the first pot she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.
Turning to her granddaughter, she asked, "Tell me what you see."
"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.
Her grandmother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The grandmother then asked the granddaughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, the grandmother asked the granddaughter to sip the coffee. The granddaughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma then asked, "What does it mean, grandmother?"
Her grandmother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.
The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water. "Which are you?" she asked her granddaughter.

You Have Power In Your Thoughts
There is power in thought !
When you want something ...
Repeating it over and over implants in your subconscious a desire
and your subconscious must go to work and manifest into your reality.
Affirm what you want in 'present terms' ...
this adds energy to what ever it is you desire
Believe and repeat your 'positive' present statements often.
The mind has more than 50,000 thoughts a day.
You can direct some of these to a specific goal ...
What you think about you shall bring about...
Thoughts become Things...
If you see it in your mind you shall hold it in your hands...
As you think it you shall become it...
We dream all night what we think about all day...
There is power in thought... Believe and take action...
We love to hear from you and what your affirmations are

I Promise Myself
I Promise Myself...
To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.
To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthsiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.
To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

Just For Fun
Imagine there is a circle and inside the circle there are people ...
let's call them the 'cool' people ...
Now imagine being on the outside looking in ...
To get inside you have to do something deemed worthy by the 'cool' people ...
That is the only way inside the circle ... Some truly desire to become the 'cool' people
It is my belief all of us have been on the outside looking in ...
We have all wanted to be accepted and validated ... by the 'cool' people ...
At one time or another ... some of us more than just one time
Now imagine a circle and inside are people ... lets call them the 'cool' people ...
Now imagine being on the outside looking in ...
While looking inside ... from the outside ... believe and see that inside that circle there are boundaries and limits ...
Look closer ... could it actually be a box?
This is a humorous thought to me ...
As those inside the 'cool' place look out and laugh ...
Those outside ... look inside and laugh ...
Just for Fun
