Any achievement starts with a Vision

Do you have a vision? Are you starting a new year soon at school, or in a club? Even if you are in the middle of your career or involvement anywhere, I suggest a quick self examination.

Just two points, – Do you have a vision of your success at that job or club? What does it look like, take a few minutes and write it down. It may be something like ” I will have succeeded in my role at X when …………………………..

Second point – Now in your mind you know have an idea. Quickly jot down at least three ways you are going to achieve your vision.

I had to write the above after I read about Ferron Shea. {click her name to find out what it was} When she was just NINE YEARS old she had a goal, a vision.  She reached her goal and it made me think. Now she is in college and taking part in a college outreach to Zambia, and she blogged about her experience. Click here for that blog entry. Ferron’s life is changed, and so is the rest of her team – it’s a great story, and I thought it worth sharing, I hope you liked it.

Whether you want to write a sci-fi novel, be a wonderful parent, or be a wonderful best friend, take the time to form a vision, and an action plan.  Success to you! 

Thanks for reading my blog, I am so encouraged lately, it means tons to have more followers, and comments.  Amazing!

Best Advice I’ve ever received

I received this advice in the crowd, listening to a father’s day sermon. By the way, I think I am repeating myself but it was really impactful, and how many sermons do you remember?

Seriously, the message was about being “thankful” and it underlined to me to choose this attitude for myself. I try hard to choose this frame of mind and keeps me from wishing more of this and that.

Best advice, before complaining, Count your blessings first, and then see how you feel.

Thanks to a very good friend, I learned of an amazing video yesterday called Gratitude.

It is an amazing and inspirational message, about the revealment of happiness  and I hope you will watch it, and comment. Watch a few minutes to see what I mean, especially after minute 4:17 and onward. 🙂

Thank you for visiting my blog, Take care.

Youtube Inspiration or From Russia With Love

I had to share this youtube after I watched it.  Perhaps you are like me and you shy away from youtube videos if they are longer than two minutes, or maybe that is just me?

I have learned that there are some great videos that are worth the extra time, like the one above.

cricket in hammockI have never been to Russia, my dream has never been to win the lottery and visit this part of the planet but these snippets of dashboard camera video were a cold splash of water on my ignorance.

All of these people in these video I believe were helping strangers, getting out of their warm vehicles, doing something with no expectation of payment, perhaps what I was witnessing was “paying it forward” on a massive scale.

This video is inspiring, helping someone out of snowbank or (summer time) buying a coffee for the stranger behind you at the coffee shop, picking up one piece of garbage – what would our world look like if we did one unselfish gift/deed a week ?

It would be like a wave of positive energy, instead of people standing and sitting at a special event, it would be a wave of hope as we all stood and sat doing our small bit.
