Good morning my friends and how are we doing on this beautiful weekend?
Today I would like to invite you into my world of imagination. Read that again my world of IM-AGINATION and I say my world because I am going to talk about my world of imagination ha ha. OK now that may sound funny but I have to say that imagination is the most powerful tool we have simply because we can be or do whatever it is that we want to do or be. Napoleon Hill in his book Think and Grow rich stated the following;
Napoleon Hill wrote, "You
will never have a definite purpose in life; you will never have self
confidence; you will never have initiative and leadership unless you
first create these qualities in your imagination and see yourself in
possession of them." He went on to say that, "... imagination is the
most marvelous, miraculous, inconceivably powerful force the world has
ever known." I love this guy and his way of thinking.
You see my friends I want you to think about the following questions.
How many times has your imagination tricked you into thinking something that was never there?
How many times did you think of an idea no else did?
How many times has your imagination made you crazy?
I can only tell you that it has happened to me and so I have learned to create positive thoughts in my mind which I call my own world of imagination. An example of imagination was when President Kennedy stated that there would be a man walking on the moon. People thought yea and wow! what an imagination and yet it came true,!! What about the technology our computers and phones and email HELLO----- IMAGINATION MY FRIENDS ALL IMAGINATION.
Here is another big one!!
You must get busy doing something about going the extra mile.
It’s well and good to feel as though you have changed the attitude with which you render extra service, but if that service is in truth no more than anyone else’s, then you aren’t doing yourself much good. You need to examine your co-workers and competitors to understand just what it is that will make you stand out. If there are job performance standards, exceed them. If you’re fulfilling a contract, make sure you offer more than you promised. You cannot confine extra-mile service to your work alone. You must make it part of your philosophy for dealing with every person you encounter. Imagine how others will be delighted to find that you are the type of person who not only does what is promised but even delivers more. The true benefit of going the extra mile is in teaching yourself to strive always for better and greater achievement in all that you do.
One of my other favorite people of all time who was an amazing person was no one else the Mr. Benjamin Franklin he said and I quote;
“Remember not only to say the right
thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the
wrong thing at the tempting moment.” – Ben Franklin
Of course on other favorites of mine:
“If some people are so hungry for a feeling of importance that
they actually go insane to get it, imagine what miracle you and I can
achieve by giving people honest appreciation this side of
insanity.” – Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends
& Influence People
Here I am bringing people together through motivation and techniques on a radio show. It was awesome and lots of fun and I realized that when you talk on things that interest people or looking at things and situations and issues from a different perspective people listen.
Kyle Wilson shares a story here which is so important i all phases of life and business check it out;
This story is close to me for many reasons but hey that is another story for another blog posting in the near future!!!
Everything is Possible!
A
few days ago I had a 2 hour Skype call with two amazing guys. One is a
lead member in a world renowned rock and roll band and the other has
trained 5 world champion MMA fighters (and is a former champion
himself). There will certainly be more developing on this story.
But the part I wanted to share was a follow-up email from one
of the guys. His P.S. at the end said:
As
Jim Rohn says, "when 2 or 3 agree on the same purpose, everything is
possible". Jim Rohn said when he heard this for the first time, he
underlined the word EVERYTHING :)
