Be Amazing Today!

Average, or normal? 
That is just as close to good as it is bad!
I plan to be amazing today!
What is the worst that could happen?
"It all starts with a thought".
It has started, today will be amazing!
My attitude is right and that is more than 90 percent of the battle...

I am.....

How would you finish this sentence?
I am....
How would you describe yourself?
Are you a  morning person?
Are you a leader?
How would your friends and co-workers finish that sentence?
He's a good man, but....
Huh, gess I have some work to do!
Have a great attitude today!

Never Give Up

One of the biggest achievements of my life was found on a high school web site.  It had all the history from my high school cross country team.  Someone selected me for the Never Give Up section. Please understand my graduation was well over 30 years ago.
So at church the weekly overview of the service had an article "If At First You Don't Succeed-Try, Try Again".
It's a phrase we have all heard when discussing how to be successful at something. "Never give up", or "Get back on the horse" are phrases used to encourage people to take the risk of attempting something even after failing the last time.
Did you know:
Walt Disney's first cartoon production company went bankrupt.
Barbara Streisand's New York stage debut was in a show that closed after one night.
Elvis Presley got a C in high school music, and his teacher said he could'nt sing.
John Grisham's first book, A Time To Kill, was rejected by 16 agents and 12 publishers.
When Thomas Edison was asked about the thousands of failed attempts to create the light bulb, he responded that he was not a failure. He had found another way to not invent a light bulb. History would be much different if these people had given up. So feel a little proud when you don't give up. You never know what is right in front of you. 
How close are you to achieving your goals, and how much effort does it take?
Have the right attitude and it will make it easier.

Small Acts of Kindness

Remember that there's no such thing
 as a small act of kindness.
Every act creates a ripple
with no logical end.

Choices you make

Every day you  make choices that will have an impact on you years from now. 
It's like saving for your retirement, slow and consistant installments on a regular basis makes for a good retirement account.
Invest in your future not just in your 401K, but your attitude too!

Peaceful sight

 
There are just some things that are a peaceful sight. My puppy Blanca wrapped up in a blanket in the morning sound asleep is a wonderful sight.  She is as gentle when she is awake as she is right now!
Have a great Sunday.



I want them to know I am coming!
Are you ready for Monday?
Remember, "Act As If" you have already had a successful day when you leave the house this morning.
Attitude is Everything...

Our Pastor tells us our hours and minutes are
 like a bank account.
We get to choose how we use that account.
How are you using your account?
Do things with a giving heart, and you will
increase your dividends.
Share a smile and you can change a life.
It all starts with your attitude.

Can you act as if?
There are people that are in your life that are acting as if everything is wonderful! 
How do you really know?
Each week in the class we discuss "acting as if" in sales.
Remember we choose our mind set.
When I say that everything is unbelievable, do you know if that is good or bad?
Some days it could go either way!
It is all about how you see it...

Chris Sundstrom
  

 
Chris was a very engaging young man, just 40 years old, however his memorial held was yesterday 3-9-2013. 
From our few encounters it was evident that he was one of those guys, but I never understood that until now how lucky
 to have spent time with him.
First his childhood friend Tony, stood in front of a group of
 150-200 people. Many of whom he may not of known and shared his heart and how much love Chris and shown. He shared adventures and special times they had 
shared through pictures and music. 
Chris was a soft soul, filled with desires of adventures and making other people happy understanding that life was not about things you own, but rather about sharing and giving.
As the Memorial went on you could see all the lives that Chris had touched, it was amazing.  Men and women stood and said "I always felt that he was my best friend", for a guy that finds that hard to define those words had weight.  They knew he loved them by the way he lead with his heart.  His 7th grade teacher stood to tell a story of how Chris at a young
age had changed his life.
Chris was a model of how you can march to your
own music, and do the right thing.
He had the right attitude from a young age,
and he used it for good.
Thanks Chris for being you and showing how to live life Transparent with Integrity.
I was proud to have shared time with you.

Attitude is not given at birth

"The winner's edge is not in a gifted birth, a high IQ, or in talent. The winner's edge is all in the attitude, not aptitude. Attitude is the criterion for success."

Every day

Today Is A New Day. You Will Get Out Of It Just What You Put Into It. If You Have Made Mistakes, There Is Always Another Chance For You. And Supposing You Have Tried And Failed Again And Again, You May Have A Fresh Start Any Moment You Choose, For This Thing We Call 'Failure' Is Not The Falling Down, But The Staying Down.
