What a weekend? I hope that all my readers and families had a beautiful and wonderful and full of joy Thanksgiving!!! There are so many things to be thankful for. I talk to so many people who do not realize what they have to be thankful and grateful for but complain about everything.
One has to be happy just to be alive to be able to wake up the next day and say wow! I made it another day. Each day that I awake I am grateful and thankful to spend one more day with my beautiful wife and kids. When I speak to people or clients regarding their attitudes towards others they flinch and well the responses are not very nice: So I ask them why and of course I get every excuse not to be nice, thankful or grateful. My job at this point of course is to bring them back to reality and ask the right questions.
Do you have food on your table? Yes is the answer. Well there are many who struggle each day. Is your health good? Yes is the answer: There are those who struggle to breath each day. Do you have kids that have good health? Yes is the answer: There are those parents who spent their days in the hospitals around the world next to their kids to make it another day.
The world is not a very nice place people will always say and I say it is not the world that is not nice but the individuals who live in it and who create the environment around them. There is so much hate,greed and miscommunication that it creates wars around the world and our neighborhoods. People then ask me questions like; Tell me how do you stay so positive.
It is not easy but you have to make the effort if peace is what you want. You have to smile when you should be screaming. You need to walk away from an argument when you feel like punching that person in the face. You need to cry whether you are a man or a woman when something hurts including words.
Be thankful not just for all that you have but also for what you do not have. Be thankful for all those that you love and also for those who hurt you because those will be the ones to give you strength and poise and push you forward while they will live in their negativity and not know it.
Think about how sad it is for those who try to hurt you and you just smile at them. Think about those who have tried to make you look bad at your company and you just continue to help. Think about those who wish you harm or failure only to find them fail within. I would say be thankful for all of the above.
How many time have you had a great idea and share it only to be taken and used before you had an opportunity to use it yourself. It happens all the time to me and that is why I only share stuff that is old and has been used by me prior and has been published somewhere. IDEAS!
Ideas-Napoleon Hill
Ideas are intangible forces, but they have more power than the physical brains that give birth to them. They have the power to live on, after the brain that creates them has returned to dust.
Remember, you can place under obligation to you anyone you can induce to accept favors from you.
It is a very basic human
characteristic that we tend to respond to others in the same way they
treat us. They will always remember the kindness you extended, and
someday when you need it most, help will appear from a totally
unexpected source. The kindness and courtesies you extend to others need
not be large and expensive.
A kind word, a friendly greeting, or
assistance with a favorite project lets others know that you care enough
about them to lend a helping hand. When you help another cheerfully and
enthusiastically without asking for anything in return, the law of
compensation places that person in your debt. You have made a friend who
is now interested in your success.
